Elevator sickness.

A great many people are unable to
ride on elevator cars on account Of the
feeling that their hearts and souls are
being pulled out Of them when the
machine starts TO drop. People with
heart affection are frequently forbidden
by their physicians to ride in the cars,
and it is d~isagreeable to thousands who
ride, in spite OF it, to ave time and legs
in the big buildings Of the city.
A w~eli-known lawyer, who has . very
level head at most times, admits that
his Mead feels very empty when the
elevator starts down, but claims to have
discovered q very clever mechanical
trick by which he avoids the all.gone
feeling. He is willing to have it sug-
gested to his fellow mortals anonynl-
ously.
II take . long breath" he said, "iust
as / step or the elevator, and hold it
with q tight pressure. Then, Just as
the elevator begins TO sink, / let it out
exactly with the motion Of the car. The
quicker the car starts, the quicker and
harder / press ont the air, and | don,
feel as il my soul had flown out; in factt
I . avoid the least d~isagreeable sem
sation.'
Another gentleman who tried the ex-
pertinent. vouched for the results in his
case. @Dont imagine that you have to
blow 70 that everybody elsein the car
can hear yon," he said. @All You need
to do is to hold the breath tightly and
let it go noiselessly out the nose. i
think the sensation is due to the sud
den change of pressure of blood in the
heart and head, and the compression
of air in the breathing organ Off sets
that pressure by reaction when the car
starts. "-Philadeiphia Inquirer.

Many anecdotes are related about the
drol sayings Of the late Jonas Hill, Of
Fayette. He had a peculiar way Of
speaking which those who heard him
will never forget, but his pronunciation
can hardly be represented in print. He
was at one time q sutton for the hand of
. young lady whose parents did not
favor him. Her father did not think
that the social standing Of Jonas was
such a. to render him a fit match for
his daughter, but he told the young
man it he would bring him heightened
references he would consider his claim.
Jonas said nothing, but felt indignant
and resolved to have his revenge. So
he procured the best Of recommends
tons as to his character and standing
in society. The old man examined his
credentials and was satisfied.
"All right" said he, you are well
come. Walk into my parlor, and your
horse shall be stabbed and fed"
"Not by any MEANS" replied Jonas.
my (th) horse is neither hungry nor
(th) dry, and / shall never (th) darken
your (th) doors any nor Good-day,
sir"
And putting the whip to his horse,
he drove out of the door-yard, leaving
the old gentleman glaring after him,
dumfounded. -Lecist07a Journal
