where The Bio Fight was.

Mr.. Stable, of the Gettysburg Com
Pillar, is known by every editor in
Pennsylvania and to many in Mary
land. He is genial man and good
Preside companion. His favorite
theme is the great battle, which he
saw in the streets of the town, and
his hospitable home cared for many
of the wounded. All of the citizens
of Detroit know how to greet and
show interest in visitors, and thi
spirit extends even to BARRIERS.
While the venerable Mr.. Stable was
being shaved at the Russell House
by the chief man of the shop, there
was good opportunity to read one
of his many badges.
81 see," said the barber, SHAT you
are from Pittsburgh"
"No," said Mr.. Stable, II am from
Pennsylvania, sir, and there are more
interesting places in Pennsylvania
than Pittsburg."
II am from Gettysburg, sir" and
Mr.. Stable got mouth and lungs rea-
dy for his story of the battle.
"Ah," responded the barber,
"where is Gettysburg I"
"Why, don't you know? That's
where the big fight was"
"The big fight?"
eyes, the big fight"
"Were you there?"
swell, should say was"
"Did you see til z"
eyes, / did,"
"Well, now, that is interesting"
pursued the barber, "and will you
kindly give me your honest impress
sion--which was the squarest fight
er-Sullivan or Kilrain 2"
Mr.. Stable survives to tell the sto-
ry in his own inimitable way. 1t il
Illustrates the fact that there are some
people in Detroit whose minds do
not constantly go back to the great
est of modern battles-not in the
ring, but upon the tented field.

Some Practical Don'ss.

Dol';s tAiak that child needs

Try to assuage thirst by several tea
spoonfuls Of boiled and cooled water.
Don't hold child in commissions
in vorr arms, but strip it quickly
and ifamerse it To the neck in a hot
BATH, to which a tablespoonful of
mustard may be added.
Don't allow q patient with collie
&, suffer until the physicians arrive !;
give large injections 1.-TWO quarts of
warm water with ten drops, adult
dose, of tincture Of opiuml.
Don't seek relief for burns by the
use Of cold water. Tf nothing else is
obtainable use warm water; better
still, keep the part wet with sweet or
linseed OIL
Don't lose your head when with
cases of bleeding from the lungs !;
they very rarely prove immediately
fatal. Prop the patient up in bed
and give him small pieces of ice to
swallow and fifteen drops of tincture
of ergot (no sugar of lead or acid)
every hour until your physician ar
rives.
Don't imagine that sunstroke cheat

sun exclusively. The same may be
produced by excessive heat even at
night, especially when the person is
much fatigued or in a crowded room.
Don't eat pork. When it is abso-
lutely unavoidable to do SO, it should
be rendered harmless by being thor
oughly cooked by strong fire.
Don't allow meat and vegetables
TO be placed in the same compart.
ment of the refrigerator.
Don't wear high heels. Women
who wear them publicly advertise
the fact that they seek or wish to
maintain serious internal troubles.
Don't mistake weight for warmth
in clothing. Feeble people may be
worn down by heavy clothing and
vet be less sheltered than those who
wear light wooden fabrics, both as
inner and outer garments.
Don't read, write or do any deli
cate work unless receiving the light
from above and over the shoulder.
Don't read in street cars or other
| jolting vehicles.

Onions Instead Of Quinine.

One day / was taken with chills
and headache-signs that my old
enemy, malaria, was on hand. My
quinine-box was empty, and | was
looking forward to a restless, sleep
less night. In desperation peeled
a raw onion and slowly ate it, and
then went to bed with warm feet and
an extra comforter, when, prestol !
was asleep in five minutes, and awak-
ed in the morning free from malaria
and ready for the days duties.
Our honely but strong friend will
be appreciated in time as a medicine,
and if agriculturists would turn their
attention to raising a model with the
strong scent taken out that taints the
breath so unpleasantly, families will
be putting their pills in the cellar by
the barrel, and the doctors would
take to onion farming. The onion
acts as cathartic and diuretic, and
may help to break up cold or lessen
the bad symptoms. Said a doctor /:
81 always store a barrel of onions in
my cellar during the fall. We have
them cooked twice a week, and who
ever of the family is threatened with
cold eats some onion raw. If this
vegetable were generally eaten there
would be no diphtheria, rheumatism,
govt, kidney or stomach trouble"

Up to yesterday Chicago had eight

There is no necessary connection
between nearsightedness and a quick
temper, but something is to be al
lowed, perhaps, to a man who is at
the same time overheated, out of
breath, and badly disappointed. The
Poston Courier reports that such a
man came into q friends Office one
hot day. "I've lost my train" he
exclaimed, angrily. II nearly killed
myself trying to get it, and then was
just in time to see it 60 out Of the

his forehead. an run down to Ma

"Certainly," his friend responded:
'sit down at that table. Everything
you want is there. Excuse me if
GO on with my work I'm rushing to
get through for the four o'clock
train"
The nearsighted man sat down, Sc
lected his paper and pen, and began
to write. The exercise was attended
with frequent ordinations, but OF
these his friend took no notice until
the visitor broke out angrily:
"Why don't you have some ink in
the inkstand?"
"It's FULL was the answer. give
just been writing there myself"
"Then this abominable heat has
dried it all up. There isn't drop
here"
The busy host got up to investi-
gate. In front of the inkstand lay a
pen-wiper of black cloth, and into
this the nearsighted man was dill
gently dipping his pen. The host
took it out of the way.
al have no doubt" he remarked
"that in looking glass land they wipe
their pens first and use them after
ward, but here the other order OF
things is preferred.
The visitorlooked at him in speech
less rage. Then he sprang to his
feet, seized his hat, and rushed out
Of the office, saying something not
altogether audible about man who
'keeps pen-wiper to fool his friends
with in such weather as this"
1t is a relief to know that he made
a handsome apology on the following
day.

II heard story of an lrishman

said friend at the club. "This
Irishman was in the habit of going
home drunk every night of his life
and beating Bis poor wife Biddy in
the good old fashion. He didn't lick
her because he disliked her or want
ed to punish her, but just because he
thought it the proper thing to do.
Finally, however, the patient wo-
man could stand it no longer and APP
pealed to the priest. The reverend
father went to her home that even
ing and waited for Pat. He came,
drunk as usual, aud the good priest
took him in hand.
"'Pat, SAID he you're drunk

docile that night; but the next night

that he was loaded to the hat. She
gagged his Gig at once and saw that
he was in fighting trim, so she
lodged behind the table in an atti-
