A young West End father is telling
bis friends a good story, of which his
bright little son is the hero A few days
ago he was showing the little fellow his
watch, the youngster, like Bulge and
Toddy, wishing to "sec the wheels go
wound" The fond parent was willing
to crafty his odspring's mechanical Gu
riosity, but was also very solicitous about
the welfare of his chronometer.
Don't drop it, Willie" he saed warn
ingly, several times, "or you'll break the
crystal"
The watch was finely restored in safe
ty to the parental waistcoat and the lit
tie boy sought other amusement. Half
an hour later he was laboriously making
his way down stairs, when an unlucky
misstep sat him down with suddenness
that caused mighty howl to arouse the
household. Two fond parents rushed to
his rescue with lightning speed.
"You aren't badly hurt, Willie" mur-
INJURED his mother, kissing the boys tears
away. THAT couldn't have hurt you
very much"
But the little fellow was determined to
assess higher damages than we're being
allowed him.
"Yes, / am, mamma" he announced
gravely amidst his sobs, 81 sink I've
bwoke my cwystal !"

A st. Louis lineman is said to have re-
ceiyed, while repairing wire, an electric
shock Of 5000 volts-lfO0 more than the
murderers at Sing sing-and lived to tell
his experience. He said that the agony
was awful-he felt as if a million red hot
pincers were tearing away every one of his
thousands Of nerves, pulling them into
shreds, and suffered thousand deaths"
in the shock. Ifthc story is true, execution
by electricity would seem to be uncertain

Those who are wealthy enough ride on
elephants, as they do in Siam, India and
Ceylon. Camels are generally used for car
rying people, as well as merchandise, in
northern Africa and Asia, in the Crimea
and in many other countries. The patient
donkey does so large share Of the trans
portation of the world, that it would take a
page to enumerate the localities in which
he is used.

A Lonely Bridal Tour.

From Chau,cey Depeio's Baltimore Lecture.
Some years ago, while looking at the
clock at Strasburg, ! noticed large par
ty of American tourists making the
rounds of that celebrated ancient city. /
was told by one of them that while most
of the visitors hugely enjoyed the trip,
there was, by way Of contrast, one among
them whom nothing wonderful in nature
or art could teach.
The landscape had no charms for him ;
the Alps did not impress him the beau
ties of Paris and Vienna did not evoke
his ecstacies. Nothing that he saw had
the slightest effect of drawing out the
least expression of admiration. Weeks
and weeks passed and the rest of the par
ty were dumbfounded.at his lack Of ap-
probation of the sights which met them
on all sides.
Finally it was decided to send COM
mittee of four, two gentlemen and two
ladies, to his room and inquire what it
was prevented his enjoyment Of the trip.
"Old man." said one Of the committee,
"tell us what is the matter. If any one
in the party has displeased you we shall
dismiss him, if any wrong has been done
YOU, we shall see that it is remedied, but
do tell us what the trouble is, for we are
trying hard to please you
"Well," said the unappreciative tour
ist. II do not care to say anything
about my trouble. | wanted TO keep 1t
to myself, but as you have asked me /
may as we'll out with it. The matter is
Just this This is my wedding trip-the
first wedding trip | ever made and | am
so blamed poor that | did not have mon
ey enough to take my wife with me"

G. p. Huntingtons success, according
to his own statement, is due entirely to
his personal mastery Of the details Of his
business. "When | was a boy" Mr..
Huntington is in the habit Of observing.
81 worked in a store, and one of the first
rules | learned was that whenever | saw
a one-penny nail on the floor it was my
duty to pick it up and take care Of it,
and not wait until l found 10 penny
nail before exerting myself. The de-
tails of business are as important as the
great results" The millionaire railroad
magnate tires out stenographer after
stenographer, and he has never had a
confidential clerk who could in any sense
keep up with him. He is at his Office at
7.36. never leaves before 6, and not a de-
tail in connection with the vast interests
in his hands escapes bis personal super
vision. To make up for this great out
put Of vital energy, Mr.. Huntington re-
tires at $50 at night and sleeps like a
babe for eight straight hours.

G. G. Starr has not been heard from
since his disappearance from this city
about two weeks since. Starr is an
elderly man, and he ran the Union
market on San Fernando street for the
past five months. The railroad boys
have eaten many juicy steak cut by
Starr, who was an artist at the business.
Starr was plucky old man, but fellow
appeared at the door just two weeks ago
that scared the life out of him. John
L. Sullivan, in his younger days, would
not have frightened the butcher half as
much as did this old Mr.. Murray from
Oakland.
Starr upon looking through the screen
door saw the gentleman getting out OF
hack in front Of his store. He recog-
nized Murray in an instant, and without
any ceremony took up his hat and dis
appeared through the rear door. That
was the last seen of him in this city.
1t now leaks out that Murray is the
father-in-law of Starr, the latter having
married his wife's daughter. Murray
stated to an officer that Starts wife and
four children are living in Oakland.
| Starr has wife and two children in
! this city. They live in East Los Angeles
and are even now there. 1t appears
that the Oakland wife heard that her
! husband was in Los Angeles and Murray
came down on tour of investigation.
He soon learned that his son-in-law had
wife No. 2 in this city. That explains
why Starr left by the rear door so sud

He Gives Los Angeles One of the Finest
Restaurants in the State.

Restaurants in the State.
Los Angeles can now boast of one of
the finest and most deliberately fitted up
restaurants in the state. Reference is
made to the Nadeau restaurant, direct
ly under the Nadeau hotel, on First
street. The appointments are all first
class and the cuisine excellent. John
Brink, the proprietor of the new ven
ture, is one OF the most popular men in
Los Angeles, and the success of the en-
terrrise is assured. The restaurant is
opened from early morn until midnight
and the bill OF fare contains, besides
the usual run, all the toothsome de-
licacies that the market provides.
Brink is renowned all over the Pacific
coast as chef. He thoroughly under
stands the business, having conducted
with marked success within few
weeks, Ebinger's restaurant and the
Mercantile lunch, and all who desire
good, square meal should visit John
Drinks new place. The walters have
been selected with great care, and it is
no exaggeration to state that more
skilled or better trained knights OF the
apron never did duty in dining-room
in California. Epicures have now
place to dine.

Bronchitis is a disease of the mucous mem
brane of the air passage. and is one of the most
| common of the pulmonary affections. Chronic
! bronchitis more often appears later in life.
| When cold settles on the lungs the disease
either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia. If it
ends in bronchitis it usually passes of as cold
on the chest, and still the patient does not feel
entirely well. He feels tired and laHgu1d, and
is incapable of taking his usual amount of
exercise, and experiences shortneSs OF breath
with more or less warmth in the palms of the
hands Soon after this cough appears, ac-
companied by an expectoration OF thick mu
cous, followed by hectic flush, loss of flesh
and strength, and night sweats continue, when
the patient assumes all the appearance of hay
ing genuine case of consumption. But this
is simply catarrh of the lungs or chronic bron-
ehitis
The patient usually dies from exhaustion
and suffocation, being unable 10 expectorate
the mucous which accumulates in the passage
leading to the lungs, which in some cases is
sticky and small in quantity, but more COM
monty coplous, OF light straw or yellowlsh
green.
Dry Bronchitis-This disease, the very oppo-
site of the above, is very common affection.
Very many people, who regard themselves as
quite healthy, are today under its influence,
and are slowly but surely becoming the vic
tins of this treacherous complaint. This is
the most insidious of all pulmonary diseases
There may at first be a slight, hacking cough
and an eXpectoration of blush white mu
cous. And herein lies the danger. This mu.
cous, inhabiting the air cells of the lungs, be-
ing difficult to raise, after time becomes solid
flied, permanently obstructing portions of the
lungs, causing shortness of breath and feeling
of oppression on the chest, particularly after
meals or on slight eXertion. After time the
cough becomes more severe and comes on in
paroxysms, and as the shortness of breath in
creases it almost assumes the character of asth-
ma. The mucous membrane also becomes
more and more thickened, which arises from the
frequent fresh colds, and the patient at last
becomes fully aware of the terrible changes that
have taken place and the inevitable results that
are to follow.
Without courage and perseverance nothing is
durable, but with these, aided with our Medi-
Gated Inhalations and Compound Oxygen
Treatment Bronchitis can be cured even after
the lungs are extensively diseased.
