Sickness Should ise Punishable by Law.
Practitioners, but an Organized Medical
Policc-A Radical Idea.
"Sic!sncss is a crime and should be
made punishable by law"
This remark enanated from oile of the
most eminent and highly respected ply
sicians in the city.
"No physician, however far advanced
in his profession he may be. can con-
scie!!;iosssly say that he is i:ifaliialy f;,-
lniliar With the cases he /, uA,l;>l on to
treat" continued the doctor. My
opinion is, as much as love my profes-
sion, that the sooner the present class of
doctors is wiped out the better. l be-
lievc that the government should have
complete charge Of caring fer the sick
throughout the country, anl that the
most miserable pallper should have the
same treatment and show Tor his life
that the millionaire has. | believe that
il such was the case sickness could be re-
GEcel to such Il minimum that t::o legis-
lature could coascientiously instruct {,
law making it u crime to be sick. Epi-
denies spring from carclcssuess. and all
s!clincsses result from abuses of the hu-
man system and neglect.
My suggestion would be to have tie
government select certain physicians and
educate them up to the very best stand
ard possible to be obtained in medicine
Let expense be a secondary considera-
ton. e it cost u million dollars to reach
this end let it be spent. After these
physicians have attained their education
cause /; medical department 10 be cstab-
lished on the same general plan as the
Police department is run.

to all CLASSES TIE story is well told, and
the acting Of the entire company is superb
in the portrayal OF the several Characters

FORGOT HER LEFT ARM.
The Result of an Oversight In a Hyp-
motto Experiment..
IL

motto Hxperim ent.
From the Nely York Sun.
Court Councillor Meynert, professor of
medicine at the university in Vienna. was
prevented recently from delivering one of
bis regular afternoon lectures, and. as the
students were already assembled, his assist
ant, DIR. Anton, undertook to hypnotic a
young woman for the instruction of the
disappointed audience. The Young woman
was tall, slender, light-haired and somewhat
over 20 years Of age. DR.. Anton let his hand
glide over her forehead, smoothed her eve
lids with his fingers, touched her cheeks
with soft, downward strokes, and then
commanded loudly, "Now Sleep" She
slept.
Your arms are completely crippled. " be
SAID, and both arms sauk limp to her sides.
What will you now do, poor creature
without any armsn he asked. The girl
raised her bowed head and began to weep
and wall so piteously that the students rose
in their places and shouted that she must
be restored at once to consciousness.
Or. Anton seized the young goman's
right arm, rubbed it smartly, and suQ-
gested
you are all right now. Your arm is
well again" In the same instant the girl
raised her arm With triumphant express
sion OF face DR.. Anton then aroused her
To his and his auditors establishment, how
ever, the girl S left arm still hung limp and
apparently nerveless at her side. He had
forgotten, in speaking colIoqmally. to tell
her that her Left arm, too, had recovered
its strength. He touched the helpless arm
and exhorted the young woman to raise it.
but In vain. She couldn't stir it an inch.
Or. Anton then explained that the stu-
dents had before them case of post hvp-
potic Gripping" which could be removed
only after the girl had been again hypno-
by bringing her Immediately under his in
nuence once more, SO he deferred the per-
formance of the cure for several DAYS He
said the girl was so subject to influences
that the regular ticking of clock or the
monotonous ringing of church bell would
suffice to hypnotize her.

CHARMING WOMAN DIMES.
How She Wrestles With a Menu in q
Restaurant


Restaurant.
From the Ney York Herold.
Did anybody ever observe without anuse.
ment woman order luncheon in a rsstau-
rauts There is certainly nothing funnier,
unless 1t is two women ordering.
Some one has aptly said that 'were it not
Tor tue eyes OF the sterner sex upon them it
is more than probable that women would
pegln with ice cream and end with s1up."
VI course there are exceptions. and MANY
ladies who arc accustomed to dine and lunch
at hotels, either alone or with their hus-
bands, become as fastidious as men, But
take the ordinary fair aud youthful creat>
ure; no matter how hungry she may be she
either tries to get out as cheaply as possible
dishes,
The latter class will go into fashionable
hoiel restaurant, herhaps two together, aud
order soup for one and then fill up on bread
and rolls, which, with the best butter.
makes very tolerable repast. At least SO
says leading hotel man.
Thus, he continued, had we not been
obliged to charge extra for bread and
tutter served with soup only, they would
get off for 10 cents apiece aud vet have the
advantage Of the best surroundings, as well
as the most excellent table service.
With others it is not matter Of money
at all, but simply of queer tastes and ideas.
and frequently an ignorance of the nature
or amounT Of the dish ordered Some who
intend to-have an extended luncheon will
order soup for two when there are only two
ladies, although as a starter soup for one
would be plenty.
"Otherl will order lobster or chicken salad
with glass of milk. and this will be fol-
lowed up with an order for ice cream or
charlotte russo, with chocolate eclaires to
cap the climax.
Many look at the menu without its con-
veylng any idea to them, and then order at
random from pure helplessness.
However this may be, woman seldom
orders soup, then fish, and winds uu with
q well-cooked entree, with a small cup of
cafe nOir if she cares.
But, after all, perhaps the feminine
palate differs from the masculine one. and
in any case, if the ladies' are satisfied, no one
should complain"
