%versation soon became general, and the
Court theater at Dresden became the
subject of discussion.
One lady. who had been present the
evening before at the representation of
'Euryanthe," was loud in her express
sions of di~sapproval. Worse than all"

much too old for her part. Her singing
is becoming unbearable. Don't you

gentleman next to her. Would you not

he replied coldly.
After the general silence which fol-

turned to the actress with many con

worrying the Elevator
The decoration of elevators has be-
come quite an art in some of the down
town Office buildings. One Of the pio-
neers in this work has transformed an
elevator in the New York Life building
into a sort of japanese bower. He says
he has to spend most of his life there,
and believes in softening the asperities
Of labor with attractive surroundings.
While he easily holds the lead in this
sort of iinery, others of his kind have
dom very well. The nabob of one
caboose down town who is always
on the lookout for fancy prints and gew-
gaws, and who had rather stretch his
legs and contemplate the luxury OF his
apartment than carry passengers, was
presented the other day by a tenant of
the building with one of the fancy cards
inscribed, you press the button and we
do the rest" He was so much pleased
with it that he made it a central decora-
tive figure for the rear wall of his eleva-
tor. bordering it with rosettes and a
framework of gilt.
His tenants admired it, commented on
its fitness for such a place, and praised
his taste in framing it. After it had
been up a day or two it was noticed that
a black line in ink had been drawn under
the words "the rest. Another line soon
appeared there as mysteriously as had
the first. Then came a third and a
fourth, and then some one further EN-
phasized the words by drawing a ring of
ink around it. The elevator artist was
in a great stew over it for several days,
for the decoration was too handsome to
lose, and he could not take it down with
out spelling his wall. At last, with rub
Der and metal eraser, he obliterated the
discriminating word, lines and ring, but
only to the increase of his discontinue,
for his tenants now read the sign, You
press the button and we do nothing

Catarrh is an Inflammation Of the
mucous membrane. AS the membrane
lines every cavity Of the body that has
an outlet, there may be as many differ
ent forms Of catarrh as there are such
cavities.
The closed cavities are lined, not with
mucous membrane, Int with one that
secretes a thinner fuid-serum-for lu-
bricating purposes, which is readily alb
sorbed after doing its normal work.
Still the Serious membrane also may be
infamed and its secretion a~bnormally
increased.
Thus we may have pericarditis, with
its water" around the heart, from in
Illumination Of the membrane that lines
the heart bag, or p~ericardium; pleurisy,
with its fluid crowding against the lungs,
and sometimes causing their complete
collapse, from inflammation of the mem
brane that lines the chest; peritonitis,
30 painful and dangerous, from inflam-
nation Of the membrane that lines the
cavity Of the abdomen; ~synovitis, with
its painful and pulled out joints, from
Inflammation of their similar lining
membrane.
A common "cold" is an Inflammation
Of the air passages. When it is confined
mainly to the nostrils, it is popularity
known as q cold in the head, but medi-
cally as coryza.
When it is confined mainly to the
bronchial tubes, it is called bronchitis,
which, when it has gained a permanent
hold, greatly resembles Consumption, 4"

ple.-Youtl's Companion.

There are tricks in all trades but
ours" said a retail grocer to me recently.
You wonder how it is that we are able
to sell Strawberries at less than they cost
us and still make money. 1t is a puzzler
to the uninitiated, isn't it? But after all
it is simple enough when you know how.
For instance, | go down to the mar
ket and buy a crate of strawberries for
thirty cents a box. Now my trade is
not rich enough to pay me even thirty
five cents a box, and at less than that l
make no profit.
"Well, l take those berries and empty
them out of the boxes. Then / take a
nice piece of white paper, which is much
cheaper than strawberries, and drape,
as it were, the box. Then | take the
berries and arrange them very carefully
in such a way that all that are any way
touched with decay go to the bottom and
only the fine, ripe, sound ones are in
sight By leaving plenty of space
between the berries, except the top layer,
l have no difficulty in filling two of the
draped boxes with the contents of one
of the original, and then they look much
richer n more appetizing and sell
better.
when this is done, out they go in
front of the store marked twenty cents
a box, and before l know it they are all
sold, netting me a nice little profit. If l
had tried to sell them in the original
boxes at thirty-tive cents l would have
had a good many left on my hands to
spoil.
why, some of the bigger dealers in
green groceries and fruits keep a man, at
a good salary, simply to repack goods,

As many may know the pronunciation
of the modern Greek language is by ac-
cent, and not by quantity, as in England
and America has been the custom with
ancient Greek eyer since the time Of
Erasmus, the Dutch precursor of Martin
Luther. OF late years the American
schools have been prououncing more and
more by accent, and the custom has even
invaded England and Germany. Now
1t seems that the German scholars in
Athens, noticing the interest taken by
the young emperor in matters Of educa-
ton, have petitioned him L make the
pronunciation in German schools con-
form to the usage of the modern Greeks,
Were this done 1t would be much easier
for a German in Greece TO understand
the spoken language, which he can read
easily in the newspapers, but cannot
comprehend when he hears it at his no
tel-Boston Advertiser.

Three little boys were flying kites in
West Philadelphia, and another little

could, the fun that the other boys were
having. A gentleman passing by called
to him, and he responded.

asked.

head as if he had been taught that his

glistened in his aye, sit wouldn't hurt
me near SO much, sir, but mother, she
says she couldn't stand seeing me walk

Perhaps the most ingenious use of
numbers TO convey information is due to
Mr.. Melyil Dewey, state librarian of
New York. He has divided literature
into ten great departments and given
zach of them one of the ten numerals.
History, for instance, is represented by
nine, and every historical work has nine
for the first figure in its number.
The second figure denotes the subdi-
vision Of history to which a work be-
longs; seven as a second figure is marked
upon volumes treating of North Amer
lea Another and similar step gives three
as a third figure for histories of the
United States.
The works of Mr.. George Bancroft, as
Mr.. Dewey would classify them, would
Dear the numerals 973. After that num-
Der would come the figures pointing out
the shelf on which the volumes were to
be found. To avoid Encouragement, it
is usual in large libraries to leave ample
for new additions in each depart
ment; the shelves are not permitted to
become quite full.-Youth's Companion.

The metropolitan area of London ex.
tends over some twelve miles from north
to south, and some seventeen miles from
east to west; within this space thirty
nine governments so rule the houses,
roads, drains of their three millions and
three-quarters of subjects that for the
last ten years the death rate has been
only 22i per 200, or but l per 1000 in
excess of that of the whole country. In
the seventeenth century it is believed
that the deaths exceeded the births in
London, and the death rate was then
about 40 per 900, or more than double
what it is now, and higher by far than
the mortality rates of the unhealthiest
cities of Europe today.-London Tit-Bits.

Elizabeth Glover, in her book, Fam
lily Manners" devotes a chapter to de-
ploring the New England habit of re-
pressing ones feelings on the matters
nearest at heart, and never allowing
them to find expression in words. She
says:
There was a railroad accident, and a
poor farmers wife was taken out, bleed
ing and unconscious. The doctor and a
kind woman were working over her
when her husband came in and stood a
moment, looking on in disturbed silence.
His cheeks were drawn in, his eyebrows
lifted, his hands in his pockets.
Presently, with some effort, he cleared
his throat to speak, and as the doctor
looked up he asked, aye didn't see "A new
tin dipper lynn round where We picked
her up, did YEP
He got no answer from the indignant
doctor, and presently strayed out again
in search of his dipper.
Meanwhile his wife opened her eyes
and at once asked for her husband.
Hes safe" said the doctor shortly. She
felt his curt tone, and faint as she was
she OWNED what it meant. Hes a
dreadful feelin' man" she said, but he
don't never say much"

A resident of Bay st. Louis, Miss,
tells a pretty story about ex-Postmaster
General Villas. n rabbits foot and the
little mistress Of the postofice at the
lake shore resort. 1t will be remembered
that when Mr.. Villas took charge of the
postofice system OF the United States
the heads Of offensive partisans dropped
very rapidly, but in south Mississippi
along the lake shore there were no voters
in Office. for the postmasters were all
ome Nevertheless the decree went
forth that they must give way to adher-
ents OF the party.
Among the office holders was a little
woman who did not believe in being in
= hurry. So she asked the postmaster
general for an extension Of time, which
was CALAMITY granted. In looking around
among her few treasures her eyes fell
upon one she considered above price. 1t
was a small and delicate left hand foot
Of a rabbit mounted in silver, with a
name and date engraved upon it. This
she concluded to send to the postmaster
general as a token of gratitude. In her
letter Of presentation she said, among
other good wishes, that she trusted the
rabbits foot might some day be the
means of landing him in the United
States senate.
Her wish, aided by the e~ficacious
properties of the rabbits foot, has been
successful, and Mr.. Villas has been ele-
waited to the senate. He himself acknowl-
edges the means by which that good for
tun was achieved, and in a letter to the
little postmistress he said:

and you are at liberty to claim any ad-
vantages that might be due to it, and l
