Come Now, Mr.. Mayor, Show Your
"F~rankness."
Mayor Cleveland has not yet pub
lished that document in Mr.. Bill
Hogencamp's private organ, nor has
he sent it to this office for publica-
tion. What is the matter, Mr.. Mayor?
Are you ashamed of it? Or perhaps
you have s'lost' it? That cannot be;
for the last time you took it out you
said you would put it away very
carefully, as it might be needed for
reference some time. Perhaps you
have depositedS it lin your boss bank
vault for safe keeping? And yet you
can scarcely have done that; for, if
your boss were to see it, he might
think you had not treated him square
in signing such a document without
consultingihim. You know there are
some people who never can under
stand motives, and he might. gather
the impression you had been giving
it to him in theAneck.n OF course that
wouldn't be true; but you, yourself,
have said 'there are queer people in
Jersey, and God never made another
place like it," You never said it in
public, to be sure, for it wouldn't
Asound well at a Board of Trade ban
lquet, for instance; but you said it all
the same.
But now, on the dead level, Mayor,
you know that you haven't lost that
paper; SO why don't you let the peo-
pie read it Your handwriting is
plain, and you have a faculty for
writing down clean, clear, concise
statements that everybody can under
stand. And then your signature was
very pretty, too.
Now, look here: we'll be real clever,
and il you'll let is publish it We'll
have a fac smile made of the whole
document, so that everybody will
know that you wrote it and signed it.
And then, if you want to be economi-
cal in the Mayors office, we'll give it
to you, so you can cut the signature
off and use it to stamp your name ON
ordinances and resolutions and
vetoes.
Besides .Bobn and "Denny'' and
"Eddien would like to have a copy
as a sweet memory only. OF u
they have lots of sweet memories of
you, but then this one is a daisy, a
sort of candied daisy memory.
Come, Mayor, show your old time
"franknessn and simple minded pur-
poses in dealing with the people.
They'll like you all the more for it.
You know you said the other day
you thought the party would be a
great deal better off if you we're only
consulted by the gang when they
were going to do anything. Now,
you see, the trouble is just here. They
have been "leeryn of you because
they said you had lost your frank
ness Here is the opportunity. Pub
fish the document and they'll say

LIVES WITHOUT EATING.
A French Woman Who Alleges
She Has TASTED for Nine Years.

She Has TASTED for Nine Years.
The little town Of Bourdeilles, in
Perigord, France, is becoming famous
through a woman named Zelie Bou-
rivu, who pretends to have tasted for
nine years, and who is now actually
undergoing a sixty day fast under
scientific precautions against fraud.
The woman is the widow of q farmer
of Paussac-Saint Vivien named Gull
lame Garron, by whom she had four
children, all now dead. The death of
her husband was the beginning of her
fast. She is a brunette with brilliant
eyes and excessive nervousness. She
has lived since her alleged fasting be-
gan under the care of a DR.. Lafon,
who says that he visited her fire.
quently to induce her to submit to a
systematic course of observations that
would scientifically test her claim.
She always refused, and this con
firmed the doctor in his suspicion that
the woman was ordinarily hysterical,
and perhaps unconscious, fraud.
Last month, however, she volun-
tarily offered to submit to the closest
49,,
surveillance the doctor might wish to
place upon her, and the present tests
were begun. The doctor declares that
he took every precautlon against
trickery or deceit. For three weeks
the woman has remained under guard
in a place where no n is allowed to
bring solid food OF any sort. She has
drank only a little water in which
toast had been dissolved, which she
rejected at once, and sucked, once q
day, a bit of orange to take the bad
taste from her mouth. DIR. Lafon
proposes to keep her under guard for
sixty days. He does not attempt to
explain the case, but has referred it
to Drs. Charcot and Ball, well-known
specialists in nervous diseases. The
opinion of the neighbors Of the faster
is divided concerning her. Some be-
lieve implicitly that she is as she pre-
tends to be, under Divine inspiration,
and are expecting other miracles from
her in due time. Others believe her,
rather, to be possessed of the devil.

who wishes to have a house, employs
an architect whom he considers the
most intelligent or the most agreeable.
and builds his house; in New York
the man, even of wealth, goes with
his wife to look at ready made
houses, and accepts, buys and pays
for the one which is least objection
able. In other words, the Boston
man has his clothes carefully made
by a tailor whom he considers skillful;
the New York nan buys his clothes
ready made.
Oddly enough, this comparison, if
taken literally, is the reverse of true;
for the New York man is VIGOROUSLY
the most carefully dressed man on the
continent, and has, as Mark Twain
says, "a goddess grace and snap and
style" about himself and his dress
which the people of other communi-
ties find it impossible to reproduce;
but in building-except in the obvi-
ously exceptional cases of palaces
elegance, comfort and a careful adapt
alton of means to an end are less
studied in New York than in any
other community which can in any
respect be compared with it.-RusSeU

for two reasons. First, because they
do not do their work by
exact methods. which always
give a uniform result, but by a
species Of guesswork, which requires
that every lot of goods shall be sam
pied. Secondly, they are anxious for
an immense return from their goods
at once and usually overestimate the
price. They are often in such need of
money before they begin to work that
they cannot efford to put their goods
before the public as a business man
does and expect no income till they
are we'll introduced. They therefore
come under the head of objects of
charity rather than as independent
business workers.

recent book upon this subject, Dr. Gard
Der says:
A healthy and vigorous state Of every
part and every organ is essential to the
health and well being Of the whole system
TO grow old gracefully is not the com
mon lot Il all. With advancing years
come increased infrmities they are by no
means inevitable, and their presence is due
10 the failure to keep up to their work tho
various organs Of the body. The study Of
the body by scientists furnishes unques-
tionable evidence that the duration Of
human life may be prolonged TO hundred
years"
Why, then, do 50 few live TO that age;
and why after middle liie-and often be-
fore-is there 70 much suffering from ner-
yousness, rheumatism, feebleness. lack of
appetite, sleeplessness, and debility? Be-

Tered with indigestion and rheumatic af

use Of that great medicine for the nerves
cured him, and made great improvement
in his general health.
This grand discovery is an uneaualed
medicine for the aged. 1t produces life
and energy and is marvellous preseryer
Of the fire and Vigor Of youth. There is
nothing like it forstreugthening the nerves
