BITING THE FINGER NAILS.

A novel incident, resulting from
habit of very common prevalence
among nervous people, was brought
to my notice recently, said a leading
physician Of Philadelphia to re-
porter the other day. ga young
lady presented herself at my office
and complained of a constant irrita-
tion in her throat. Two weeks pre-
viously she had been taken with a
very severe attack of sore throat,
which was treated by the family
physician. Under his care, she said,
the inflammation quickly subsidized,
but there still remained sensation
of irritation. Examination revealed
a small, fleshy looking object about
the size Of kernel of wheat adher-
ent to the tissues posterior to the
left tonsil by the one end. The other
parts Of the throat were normal.
The little mass could not be de.
/ tached by cotton-covered probe,
but by the use of forceps it was east
/ " removed, and, on examination,
proved to be piece of finger nail
which had become imbedded in q
cheesy deposit. A broken piece of
the nail was also removed from un-
der the mucous membrane at the
same spot by sharp pointed probe.
The lady then confessed TO the habit
of biting her finger nails, and more
over could remember that day or
two previous to her throat troable
piece of nail she had bitten off had
become lost in her mouth, but, after
it had caused fit of coughing, she
had forgotten all about it until re-
minded by the discovery"

enough Of this worlds goods to live

chalet near Dieppe, which is man
tied by ivy and filled with pretty

Then he has splendid house in
Paris, which contains marvellous
treasures of art. Dumas is now a
strong and vigorous man, who bears
his sixty-four years well, and with
his keen eyes twinkling with wit and
malice, his short brush light mus
tache, robust appearance and erect
stature. he gives one an impression
that he is either General CD half

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of APP
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and postpone the moment
when surrender becomes inevitable.
In many instances the Inherent
strength of the body sufiices to en-
able it to oppose the tendency to-
ward death. Many however have
lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In
other cases a little aid to the weak
ened Lungs will make all the differ
ence between sudden death and
many years If useful life. Upon
the first symptom of Cough, Cold
or any trouble of the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well-known
remedy-Boschec,s German Syrup,
careful trial. 1t will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene
factor of any home. in l5-eow.

A Tale Of the Deep.

''Roast turkey with the usuel trim
mings,' boiled fowls, roast beef, vari-
ETY. of entree dishes and followed to q
close by an abundant supply of dessert,
constituted the bill of fare presented by
| the steward of the good ship Glendower
fine screw steamer bound to Liver
pool, England, as she lay hove to in
mid ocean on Thanksgiving day in the
year of grace lS7-.
But must first tell you how it came
about that the Glendower was ''laying
to- in mld-ocean in the month of No
vember, season of the year somewhat
risky to try such "A movement in.
The truth is, our inactivity was com
pulsory. Our propeller shaft had given
to patch it up, the engineers had de-
cided upon making good job OF it, and
had dismantled the whole thing. The
weather being most favorable the re-
pairs were being conducted without any
detriment to passengers or ship. That's
how 1t came about that eight or ten
gentlemen and three or four lady pas
sengers came TO be eating their Thanks
giving dinner becalmed in mid-Atlantic
ocean that night.
The small but elegantly fitted-up sa-
loon OF the Glendower looked bright
and cosy on this evening. The lamps
were lighted, the silverware and napery
glistened, and everyone felt real happy.
Dessert being placed on the table and
everyone present taking up an easy,
go-as-you-pleas style, nuts and Jokes
were cracked and storytelling was in
order The commander was a famous
story teller, and the "call' in its turn
came to the ''old man." Captain Ber-
trand required little persuasion sensi-
BILE man that he was, and this is the
yarn that he recounted in his best style:
1T is good many years ago, before
the craze for 'Alaskas' and 'Etrurias'
had set in, and when ocean travellers
were content to traHel from land to land
in ten and twelve days. Ii they saw
the FaStnet light on the ninth day after
leaving New York, everybody shook
hands and decided that they had made
a quick passage; / was second officer OF
the Claudine, IA staunch built steamer
of the old style, bluff in bow and wide
in the beam, "A craft that was somewhat
unsightly to the eye, but, for all that,
grand weather ship, and boat that
everyone on board felt secure in, no
matter how boisterous the weather
might become.
1T was just this time of the year, and
the Claudiue was bound east There
were few saloon passengers on board,
few people in those days travelled in the
month of November; but such as we
had with us were nice social crowd.
Among the cabin passengers were Mr..
aud Mrs. Holiday, a newly married
couple, who were crossing the herring
pond TO visit relatives. Talk about
such gilt-edged conjugal felicity as APP
peared between these two. No steward
could wait upon his wife. He constitu-

Light-Wcight Loaves

Philadelphia Press: American con-
sumers are fortunate in having pure
flour. 1t is rarely adulterated in this
country and it is cheap; but Americans
have the dearest bread in the world, in
many places the worst, and in all of
bread of light weight. While bread in
London is from | cent to 2 cents a
pound, and in France sells at from 2
cents to 4, in Philadelphia. it sells at 5
cents in majority of cases, nj 4 cents
in very few, and as high as or s
cents IN many.
What makes the matter worse, as we
prove elsewhere in the first eXamina-
OF the kind ever conducted here. this
bread is nearly always Of short weight.
OF the 125 bakers whose loaves were
bought but few weighed l6 ounces. A
barrel of -four, honestly mixed and
kneeded, will furnish $50 pound loayes
baked. The loss in the oven is not
over an ounce and half to pound,
and a barrel of -four will make 2Sl
pounds of dough, so that there is some
margin for ali the loss caused by bak-
ing.
As a barrel of -four costs SO to 81 de-
hyered, a little of the best more and
most Of the averages less than this
when bought in quantities by baker.
the profit on $3.50 received for $50
loayes at Sc apiece, $l5 on &c loaves or
$3.50 on 7c, should be large enough to
give full weight. When the bread is
two ounces short, however, thirty-fve
more loaves can be made, an addition
of 81. rs to the receipts at sc apiece. II
the loaf weighs only twelve ounces,
eighty more loaves can be sold, and the
barrel yields 333 loayes, or at Sc, 1865,
two and one-half times its original
cost.
This light weight comes out OF the
poor, Who have no option but to buy
bread, being for the most part unable
TO make it, and their purchases are less
protected by law in Philadelphia than in
European city. In London the bread
must be weighed in the presence of the
customer, and in the rest Of the United
Kingdom and in France the dealer IS
required to weigh bread when asked,
and is heavily fined for lightweight
loayes discovered by the inspectors
This Is plainly needed here.

"lN THE SOUP"
The Latest Slang Phrase From the hif.
lctP EaSt

|
Detroit Tribune: A man whose an
| pearance betokened him to be a COM
| mercial traveller sat in the Hotel Cadil-
lac Office last night, tipped back in an
arm chair, contentedly conversing with
that glibness peculiar to his profession.
'ln addition to selling the best line
of goods in America" he said with a
benign smile, 81 am introducing in the
uncultured west new slang phrase
that is running wild in the mouths of
eastern people, particularly residents
of New York City"
What is it?'
''It is lin the SOUP I've been in De-
trolt two days, but haven't heard it
used: In the east everything is in tn
soup'-Cleveland and the democratic
pa rty, for instance. If n man has lit
tie hard luck or meets with misfor-
tune of any kind, 'oif his base" and kim
dred phrases are tabooed, and in the
soup describes his predicament.
Unlike most slang expressions, its
origin is known. Last spring when
kilrain, the pugiiist, returned from
Europe on the Cunard steamer Etruria,
his friends in New York prepared to
give him grand reception. The yes
sci arrived in the evening and lay off
Quarantine waiting for daylight, to
come into port. A party of Kilrain's
friends, considerably the worse for
liquor, procured a tug and went out to
take their hero Off and bring him
ashore, but the captain of the Etruria
swore the drunken crowd should not
come near, and they did not. While
cruising around the steamer one OF the
tugs passengers, a man named Johnson,
in leaning over its side, lost his balance
and fell overheard. One OF his COM
panions, who witnessed his fall, but who
was too drunk to throw him a rope or
offer other assistance, contented him
self with calling out:
'llo. Johnson S fell in the soup"
"Comparing the Atlantic ocean to a
plate OF soup was SO supremely ridicu-
lous that when the incident was related
in the New York papers the expression
struck the popular fancy, and is now
destined for a long run"
