Work of q Hotel Chambermaid.

The hotel porter has to move and lift
some heavy baggage. But he has an occa-
sional rest 1t is on the muscle and sinews
of the hotel cham bermaid that the heaviest
and longest labors fall There is one on
my floor who has an average of thirty
FIVE rooms to attend to every day. That
means for each room bed making, sweep
ing, busting, sheet changing and looking
after the toilet requisites. The house
keeper has sharp eye, is eternally vigi-
liant, and not room is slighted. Cham
Der work doesn't look hard, but it's very
wearing. l think the man of average
strength would look tired after he had
sheets in properly.
Every other morning this girl must
arise at and sweep the parlors. She can
escape from the house and her tolls every
other day from In the evening until z
next morning. The remainder of the
time, when not asleep, she is on the move.
She is of the muscular draught horse
breed, and. though not over 20, her
shoulders are bent like bow from years
of STOPPING over beds while making them
up. She sings at her work, and tells us
that she never could get through it if she
did not sing. she will be an old, over
worked woman in ten years. A fresher,
younger "help" will supply her place
when she tumbles out of the ranks from
sheer exhaustion. None but stout girls
can endure here The landlord naturally
and reasonably wants the strongest girls,
for the same reason we want the strong
est horses to draw our loads.-Prentice

An Execution in Siam.

In the center of the field two short
stakes had been driven into the ground,
and to these when the executioners had
finished their meal the prisoners walked
slowly out. without any one to guard them.
On arriving at the stakes they again
prayed; they sat down with their backs
toward the stakes, to which their arms
were tied, after which an official walked
out, blindfolded them with strips of linen,
filed their ears with clay, and then re-
tired with his assistants, leaving the con-
demned mon alone in the middle of the
field. About two minutes after the exc
cutioners walked out armed with Japanese
swords and sat down some thirty PAGES
beyond the prisoners. They sat thus for
perhaps a minute; then rose and ad-
vanced toward the doomed men, execut-
ing fantastic dance like figures, almost as
if cautiously approaching an enemy, till
they came within striking distance, when
they raised their swords as if to strike,
but instead of doing SO turned round and
retired to where they started from. After
a short pause they advanced again in the
same manner, but, on coming close,
stopped down and looked fixedly for about
ten seconds into the faces of the prison
ers, who sat perfectly motionless, and
then again retired. The third time they
advanced, and, as in the first instance,
raised their swords as if to strike, but in
stead of doing SO they turned round and
again retired. Then they knelt down,
and, bowling toward the commissioner,
called out, in Siamese, that they awaited
his order.
On receiving the word they advanced
toward the prisoners more quickly than
before, and when within reach, after
standing for few seconds with their
swords poised in the air, proceeded to cut
their heads off. The head of the man
who had begged for his life was taken off
at three blows, but seven or eight were
struck before the head of the other-an
immensely powerful looking man, with
thick, muscular neck-fell The moment
the first mans head fell his executioner
ran off to a temple close by to perform
certain rites, the other executioner fol-
lowing as soon as bis victims head was
off.-Chicago Herald.

Treatment of IVhooping Cough.

The value of Mobin's treatment of
whooping cough by sulphurous acid is re-
ceiving strong confirmation from many
sources. Dr. Manly, in The Practitioner,
expresses the opinion that, if it was car
ried out in every case, at the end of six
months the disease would be unknown
The method used by him is as follows:
The patient is in the morning put into
clean clothes and removed elsewhere. All
his clothes and toys, etc, are brought
into the bedroom, and sulphur is burnt
upon few live Goals in the middle Of
the room. The fire is allowed to remain
in the room for five hours, and then the
windows and doors are thrown open.
The child sleeps in the room the same
evening. About twenty-five grams "a
little under an ounce) of sulphur to
every cubic meter may be burnt: this is
equivalent to rather more than ten grains
per cubic foot. The other room is fumi-
gated in like manner during the night;
the patient practically living in an at
mosphere of diluted sulphTous acid gas
for some days, while in several cases the
process is repeated at the end of week.

The register at some of the fashionable
hotels will soon be among the unused if
not among the forgotten things. There
is movement on foot to abolish it en-
tirely, and sooner or later, like good
many other things, it will have to go.
People are buster now than they used to
be, or else they are lazier. Formerly hotel
guests registered their names and the
places from which they came with good
deal of accuracy and attention. Now
most of the public men and generally all
lady travellers decline to allow their names
to appear on the book at all. They simply
give their names and places of residence
to the clerk, who notes the same and
sticks the little card containing the in
formation in the Office rack. The real
object of the register was to accommodate
the outsider any way, and even in this
respect has fallen into disuse. The
stranger comes in looking for friend
and consults The book, and nine times
out of ten if he does not find the name on
the register he turns and asks the clerk if
the person he seeks is stopping in the
house. This is a fast age, and the regis
ter seems to be in the way now OH the
hotel desk.-New York Graphic.

ARE THEY EVER CURED?
Patients in an Insane Asylum-A Yer.
Serious Question.

Patients in an Insane Asylum-A Very
Serious Question.
The question recently raised by ex-
patients Of an insane ASYLUM, whether
sane people are ever kept there after cure
because cruel relatives will not take the
legal measures necessary to get them out,
has caused good deal of talk. Every
village has its unfortunate, who is
pointed out as whilom madman or mad
woman. A terrible name it is to bear,
TOO, for never can come the day. this side
OF the grave, when he who has once been
INTO the dark valley is safe against a pos
slble return. He is always a subject Of
suspicion and knows it, and if to this
knowledge is added the belief that he was
locked up wrongfully his position is
doubly CALLING
reporter asked a young doctor who
has served his time in the asylum wheth-
er sane people were ever kept there when
they ought to be at liberty.
That is very delicate question:" he
said, land very hard to answer. The
dividing line between sanity and insanity
is very narrow and very faint sometimes,
and it is very delicate matter to say
when person has crossed it. Some
times patient will be jolly and appa-
rently sane for months and then sud-
denly fall back into the depths-perhaps
into the dangerous stage-of lunacy. It
may be laid down as a safe rule that a
man who has been once insane may be-
come so again, especially if worried and
fretted, and facts like these must enter
into any discussion of the question you
have asked.
"Now it frequently happens here, as at
all asylums, that patient reaches the
state SO close to cure that it would be
hard to say that he was not all right. He
begins to fret over his confinement, and if
he could be taken out and not worried with
the cares which invariably accompany a
battle with the world, he would be far
better off, perhaps, than under the nag
ging influence of the bolts and bars,
which he knows in an asylum stand be-
tween him and liberty. To send such a
man out into the world and compel him to
fight for himself would be cruel. Nine
times out of ten he would be back again
very soon, and much the worse for hav-
ing left the asylum. Now that is the
class of cases which has undoubtedly
been brought to public attention, and
some of them are sad enough. will say
this: that if the medical staff of an asy-
lum is satisfied that patient is thor
oughly cured--cured SO well that he or
she can face the strain Of battle with
life-no heartless relatives would be able
to keep that patient imprisoned.
''But how about inebriate patients"
asked the reporter.
"Well, they are sort of exception to
the rule" said the doctor. Many a
man is kept in an asylum who is perfectly
sane, who, if he were allowed the liberty
of the outside world, would be sure to
drink to excess. The insanity of drink is
in him. Such a man, think, is better
behind asylum walls. New York World.

Contagiousness of Leprosy.

The contagiousness of leprosy still con-
tines to be mooted question. DR.. Rake,
superintendent Of the Trinidad Leper
hospital, has made report to the British
Medical association which embodies the
results of his experiments in the cultiva-
tion of the germ Of leprosv, the bacillus
lepra, which have been under way for the
past four years. He says that ~ at a
tropical temperature and on the ordinary
nutrient media he has failed to grow the
bacillus lepr@; (2) in all animals yet ex-
amined he has failed to ind any local
growth or general dissemination of the
bacillus after incubation, whether be-
meath the skin, in the abdominal cavity,
or in the anterior chamber; feeding with
leprous tissues has also given negative
results; (3) he has found no growth of the
bacillus leprie when placed in putrid fluids
or buried in the earth. He further says
that an inquiry of this kind is practically
endless, so varied are the conditions of
temperature, time, nutrient media living
animal tissues, or putrescent substance,
and so many are the observations neces-
sary to avoid or lessen the risk of errors
of experiment. Science

Some New Found Indian Tribes.

The great table land of Matto Crosse,
in the western part of Brazil, is still one
of the least known portions of South
America When DR.. Clauss and DR.. Won
den Steinen penetrated it several years
ago, and followed the large Xingu river
from it's head waters to the Amazon, they
Aoated down about l 200 miles before they
reached the known portion of the river.
They did not have time to adequately
study the strange and unheard of Indian
tribes they met amid these dense forests
and barren uplands, and for the purpose
of making further researches among them
Dr. Won den Steinen returned to the upper
Xingu last year. He visited the villages
of nine of these tribes, and in recent
lecture in Rio de Janeiro he gave the in
teresting results Of his studies.
There is hardly corner of the earth
whose people have not had some inkling
of the great world beyond them. But
these primitive natives of the upper
Xingu had, apparently, never seen scrap
of trade goods or heard that human beings
existed outside their little circle of
observation. They use no metal imple-
ments, but fell trees with stone axes to
clear the ground for their plantations Of
Indian corn, cotton and tobacco. Wearing
shell ornaments. they use hammers and
nails of stone to perforate them. They
make knives out of shells and the sharp
teeth of a certain fish, and with these
poor tools they carve their rudely orna-
mented stools and weapons.
Dogs and fowls are found in all parts Of
the Amazon valley that have been visited
by traders, but these Xingu tribes have
never heard of them. Neither have they
any knowledge of the banana, sugar cane
and rice, with which natives of the
tropical zone are generally familiar. They
have not the slightest conception of
God, but they believe they will live again
after death. Their most important myth
relates to the creation of the world.
which, in their view, consists wholly Of
the head waters of the upper Xingu and
Tapajos rivers.
From the languages and pottery of all
but one of these tribes the explorer de-
rived the idea that these isolated peoples
are allied to the original stock of the once
powerful Cariba, who journeyed from the
south to the sea. One tribe differed SO
greatly from all others that he was unable
to trace it's relation to any other people
These people are almost wholly isolated
even from each other, and their languages,
though of the same derivation, are so
dissimilar that the tribes cannot under
stand each other Few people exist today
who are so primitive in their ideas and so
low in the social scale as these new found

Built After a Forty Years. Fight.

One of the longest inter-town fights
ever known in Maine was that over the
construction of the bridge across the Sc
basticook river, at Peltoma Point, be-
tween the towns of Pittsfeld and De-
troit. The movement for the building
of the bridge began in 184S. The former
town wanted it, the latter town opposed
it. The fight went on, year after year.
Every board of county commissioners
was raw, into it. Not until 1888, when
the bridge was built, was the war ended.

Deep down meath the bosom of ocean
Unsounded by plummet or line,
At peace from the storm and commotion,

There are jewels unknown to earth's mart;
As deep, as true, and as precious
