One day, when Thomas Crafty, the

received an invitation to a swell ball

"What does r. s. V. P, stand
for?" he asked.
"Respondez s'ilvous plait," replied
the friend.
"Responde silver PLATED" exclaimed
Crafty. "What does that mean?

Crafty went out and bought some

penned his regrets. They read:
"Mr. Crafty regrets his inability to
accept Mrs, Blanks kind invitation.
"T. III. N. c."
Of course the hostess was puzzled.
She couldn't make head or tail out
OF T. H. n. c., and so submitted the
strange missive to her husband. He
promptly gave it up, but resolved to

Is Alum
HALLS Journal of Health.l

"This question has caused a gooG
deal of discussion. Alum is used by
many bakers to whiten their bread,
enabling them to use an inferior
flour. 1t is most extensively employ.
ed as a cheap substitute for cream
OF tartar in the manufacture of bak-
ing powders. 1t has not been consid-
cred Immediately dangerous; although
II continued it induces dyspepsia and
obstinate constipation. But the fact
that many cases OF poisoning have
occurred from the use of alum, puts
the question in q more serious aspect,
and prudent people will exercise eau
ton in the selection OF baking
powders.
"Under what conditions then, does
this substance-formerly used only
TOR mechanical OF medicinal purposes
become poisonous? They are GER
tainly obscure, and at present we can
only surmise what they may be.
We suspect that the cause exists in the
individual poisoned; some popularity
oftheconstitution producing amorbid
change i'll the secretions of the stom-
ach, with which the alum combines
and forms an active poison; or the
secrections may be healthy but in UNI
usual proportions, and that these less
o%rgreater proportions in combination
with the alum constitute a poison.
For example, two parts ofmercury
and two parts Of Chlorine form Gallo
mel, which is not poisonous, but
change the proportions to one part
mercury and two parts OF chlorine,
and we get corrosive sublimate, which
is a deadly poison.
"Then again, we know nothing of
the constitutional peculiarities. Why
is it that one person can eat all kinds
Of green fruits and vegetables with
impunity, while the samecourse might
cost another individual his life? One
person a handle poison ivy and
sumac without being in the least
affected; another is poisoned if he APP
proaches to within ten feet of them.
Out OF q family residing in a malarial
district, some OF the members will
suffer half the year with fever and
ague, while the others will enjoy excel
lent health during the entire year.
Foods that are wholesome to some
persons are actually poisonous to
Others. This is especially true OF
some kinds of fish. There is no safety
in taking alum into the stomach, as
it is shown to be always injurious,
and often dangerous"

OF great value at this time. Follow

A good story comes all the way from
San Francisco. 1t is said that n lady ap-
piled to her physician in that city for ad-
vice and a prescription. He had long at
tended her and her family, and ON this
occasion he recommended that she go to
a popular watering place in that part of
the country, giving her a letter of intro
duction to a physician who resided at
the springs. E
On the way there the lndy remarked
to her daughter that as long as her doc
tor had been treating her he had never
stated just what was her ailment. I've
a good mind to open this letter and see
what he says of my case to the other
doctor" Acting on the impulse she tors
open the envelope, and, taking out tho
letter, read, "Dear Doctor-Keep the old
lady lou weeks, and then send her back
to me."-Detroit Free Press.

The demand Of the time Is to move
weight over distance at the least posi-
bic cost 10 it on slow freight or fast pas
senger trains. There are hundreds Of
locomotives in service Of about forty
tons weight, capable Of hauling a train
Of 100 tons ut the average running rate
Of sixty miles IN hour. But that is not
the kind Of fast train hat our railroad
managers want. They are required to
make money for the companies employ
ing them, and they realize that it pays
much better to use locomotives weigh
ing sixty tons that are capable Of haul
ing a fast train Of 800 tons.
1t IS a curious study, and one that n
interesting to some minds, to investigate
the rapid speed that might be made with
safety with locomotives having abnor-
mally large drivers, but as far as the
bearing on American railroad operating
is concerned, it is just As practicable as
speculations or calculations respecting
the time it would take a balloon Of GER

ting travelling suit of dark cloth or serge
with toque to match sitting firmly on
the head in case of a stiff breeze while
upon the deck, while some prefer the
less dressy worsted or velvet hood to
protect the ears and throat; a short wrap
of warm material, a long macintosh to
envelop the form during stormy wealth
er, stout shoes and a light plaid to throw
over the knees, either when seated upon
the deck of a steamer or travelling
around in an open carriage upon land.

As an illustration of one of Barnum's
ingenious methods of attracting attention
10 his museum may be mentioned the in
cident of the "brick man" One day a
MAI applied for aims to Barnum, who
was sitting in the ticket Office. To the
inquiry as to why he did not go to work,
the mendicant replied that he would
gladly do so at a dollar a day if he could
find employ ent. Barnum gave him
twenty-five cents to get his breakfast,
and told him to return, and he would
give him a dollar and a half a day and
easy work. When the man returned,
Barnum gave him five bricks, and told
him to place one in front of the museum,
another on the corner of Vesey street, a
third at the corner of Fulton-on the st.
Paul's church side-and the fourth on
the east corner of Fulton. Returning
then to the museum, he was to take up
the first brick and replace it with the
fifth, and then continue his rounds, put
ting down one brick and taking up the
other each time.
He was enjOined to answer no ques-
tons and to seem not to hear, and that
at the end Of each three-quarters of an
hour he was to pass into the museum,
look around at the curiosities for fifteen
minutes and then resume his rounds
with the bricks. Barnum says that the
man played his part to perfection. and
his eccentric conduct caused a great
crowd to gather about the museum.
Many Of these, of course, went into the
museum to seek some explanation as to
the purpose of the ''brick man" This
was kept up for several days, until the
police requested his withdrawal, because
such crowds fingered about the museum
that traffic was interrupted.|. G. Speed
