SU UITS
FOR
PARTICULAR
PEOPLE,.

A London tailor's dictum was that
he could take a meal sack and make
a suit Of clothes worthy Of gentle
mans wearing If the fit was right.
Gentlemen have fancies in dressing.
One goes for something snowy, an
other expressly calls for special
weave, and so on. But the particular
points of suit are fit and style. Ma
terial and making may be ever so
good, but condemnation will be swift
il there be failure in fit and style.
In these two points our stock of suits
for business and everyday wear full
fills the highest ideals of dress; with
due attention given to propriety Of
fabrics and perfectness of making,
and, above all, with the wit of the
clothier-his MISUNDERSTANDING at
its brightest, in the tone of fashion
reigning in them, impalpably, dis
tinctly stamping them as stylish and
faultless in fit. We extol these less
highly than gentleman would in ex-
amining them. They are ready
made, and at prices of ready-made.
You'll be likely to think them above
the average of custom work when you
see them.

Biting the Finger Nails.

A novel accident, resulting from habit of very common prevalence among nervous people, was brought to my notice recently. A young lady presented herself at my office complaining of a constant irritation in her throat. Two weeks previously she had been taken with very severe ''sore throat" which was treated by a neighboring physi- clan. Under his care, she says, the infam- nation quickly subsided, but there still re- mained a sensation of irritation. Examina- tion revealed a small, aeshy looking object, about the size of kernel of wheat, adherent to the tissues posterior to the left tonsil by one end. The other parts of the throat were normal.
 The little mass could not be detached by a cotton covered probe, but by the use of for ceps 1t was easily removed, and on examina- tion proved to be piece of finger nail, which had become covered by a cheesy deposit. A broken piece of the nail was also removed from under the mucous membrane at the same spot by sharp pointed probe. The pa- tient then confessed to the habit of biting her finger nails, and, moreover, could remember that day or two previous to the onset of her throat trouble piece of nail which she had bitten off had become lost ill her mouth, but after it had caused fit of coughing she had forgotten about it until reminded by my discovery.-Dr. Jerome Tuthill in Medical Record.

Temptations of the Teller.

The big banks down town with which ex- tensive brokers and merchants deal do an enormous amount of business every day. A great deal of this business is by checks and drafts and the balances to be paid to settle the debits and credits are fixed every morning at the clearing house. But with all the checks and drafts, the paying tellers in these banks handle fortunes in cash every day that they are at their windows attending to business. Aside from the amounts which they pay out between 10 and o'clock, there is always a large cash fund held in reserve for contin- gencies that may arise suddenly and unex- pectedly. It is nothing extraordinary for 0 paying teller to handle from $1 ,000, GOO to 5000, 900 of cash in a day.
 When the doors of the bank closed the paying teller counts his cash to see that the amount on hand corresponds with the amount called for by the books. He puts his cash balance ill the vault and quits work until next morning. From the time he leaves the bank until the hour for him to reappear no one of the officers of the bank knows where he is. He may, in fact, stay away couple of days on the plea of illness, and if, as usually the case, he has the con- f1dence of his superiors, his absence arouses no suspicious.
 Express trains leave for Montreal at and 11:1o every evening. A paying teller can put million dollars in greenbacks ill his pockets, walk out of his bank when the busi- ness of the day is over, and be in Montreal before he or the money is missed.
 Paying tellers are considered well paid when they geta salary of $3 300 year. They know that their chance of becoming cashier or president is very slim, and that the prob abilities arc they will go to the grave paying tellers or else be bounced because of old ape or because change in the officers or board of directors has brought into power some rich and influential man with poor rela- tive whom he wants to support without cost to himself.
 Consider for moment the terrible tempta- tions some of these tellers suffer. They see men making money by methods which are neither exactly dishonest nor exactly fair, and that nobody interferes with them. They also see and feel enough money day after day to make them so independent of work that they could live the fat of the land while life lasts and not turn hand.-New ' ork Cor. New Orleans Picayune.

INDIANS MEDICINAL LORE.
Mysterious Herbs by Which They Cure
 Formidable Diseases in Mexico.

Mysterious Herbs by Which They Cure
 Formidable Diseases in Mexico.
 Without doubt men of a money making turn might, with perseverance,, acquire from the Indians knowledge ot the mysterious herbs with which they cure, radically, some of those formidable diseases which hafile the gre%est physicians of the world. From Chiapas and Tabasco np to Sonora and Chi huahua the Indians make good use of the herbs of the field ami forest. The Indians who live around the little hill called the H"nol, near this city, can cure intermittent tsvers much more easily than our physicians, and, in the state of Queretaro, the Indians have remedy, known only to themselves and the secret of which they most jealously guard, which cures the worst forms of blood diseases, as many foreigners here can testify.
 So cunning are these Indians that they employ, as 1 am told, medicine which has the property of paralyzing temporarily the sense of taste, and thus their patients can get no clew to tho nature of the herbs they are taking. Malaria yields quickly to the powerful remedies of the Indians, and these same rude practitioners will cure bad cases of typhus fever. In the treatment of the smallpox the Indians are very successful, placing their patients in dark rooms, but permitting currents of air to be continually passing over the body of the patient, while some herbal remedy is continually admins tered That the Indians of the country towns and of the little hamlets up in the Sierras are healthy is plainly to be seen. They live often to an incredible age, and say themselves that the white man is sickly fellow who has gray hair while their own is still coal black.
 A recent patient of the Queretaro Indians said the remedy administered to him by the Indians seemed to take hold of him in every part of his body, and that for twenty days he was kept covered up and sweating pro fusely. It seemed to him that they were getting his blood "washed out" and every organ of his body cleansed. At the end of the prescribed time he was told that he was cured and so found himself beyond any doubt. Many of the herbs used by the In- dians are declared by them to be of great value owing to their scarcity, and it is cer- tain that they cherish them and will not part with them for song. Even educated physicians here employ remedies not known in the United States. The homeopaths use the poison of certain venomous snakes and the active principle of poisonous native plants It is possible that science will yet make good use of the weed with which h. dian prisoners take away the wits of their enemies A little of this powder in your soup, and away goes your intellect and req son. On the principle that "lke cures like" it may be that in this baleful weed there Is a remedy for some forms of insanity, for we know very we'll that the treatment of brain trouble is in its infancy, so to say.-Mexico Cor Boston Herald.
