The art of advertising is carried
pretty far in these days, but after all
there is nothing new under the sum-
and very likely if the hieroglyphics Of
the Egyptian sculptures were proper
ly understood they would be found to
be merely advertisements of patent
nostrums, cosmetics and jimcracks
generally. At least as far back as
the publication of newspapers has eX-
tended the art has been always much
the same. An instance is to be found
in the advertisement of hundred
and seventy-tivc years ago. in which
were set forth the virtues of quack
medicine, which cured all sorts Of
diseases "hy promoting the cheerful
Curricle of the Blood and Juices
raising all the Fluids from their lam
guild State to one more Iorid and
sparkling restoring Juvenile Bloom,
increasing the animal Spirits, and ev-
identity replenishihg the crispy tibers

Warmth and balmy Moisture, and
thereby invigorating to such a degree
as not to be imagined. 1t is an adj
mirable Remedy in all Weakness of
the Body or Decay of Constitution Of
any Kind. and evea seems to keep
Back the Effects of Old Age itself. "
This is hardly to be outdone in these
days of abundant advertising, when
the profession of writing advertise
ments is recognized as legitimate
business, on plane somewhat lower,
it is true. theoretically, than the
writing of epics, but equally legiti-
mate and far more profitable.
A NEW industry has arisen. The
unfortunate persons of the poorer
classes have learned that if they are
but afflicted with disease sufficient
~ rare, they can turn an honest PEN
ny by selling to physicians the right
to operate upon them or to autopsy
them after death. i is certainly a
grewsome idea. but the inyalids get
the best possible care and all kind
ness, with pleasant bonus in cash
for themselves in case they live, and
for their families in case of their
death. There is nothing brutal in it;
and it is of course in the interests Of
humanity that these diseases should
be studied by specialists. A New
York paper reports the case Of pa
tient in that city who has recently
sold to a prominent specialist the
right to perform a difficult and rare
operation upon him for five hundred
dollars. The operation may prove
fatal. but it is the only possible hope
of saving the life of Ehe patient, who
really gets the best medical attention
free and has the fees himself, where
as he must otherwise die in poverty
and want without either. The idea
of its being an advantage to have
horrible complications of disease is.

one a chill.

ST. LOUIS.
Everybody Planning to Visit the
Western Metropolis.
Carnival OF Unusual Brilllancy-six Miles
of Illuminated Streets-Seventy-Fi
Thousand Lights-Othcr Spe-
clal Attractions.

ST. Louis, Aug. 25.-The city this
evening is blaze of light. Along over
six miles of the business streets $4,000
electric and gas lights are shining
through globes of many tints, produc-
ing an effect which battles descrip-
ton, and which exceeds in bril-
liancy and magnificence anything
ever seen In modern days or
immortalized by the pens of oriental
poets. The city is crowded with guests,
and the universal expression of opinion
is that great as is the reputation of St.
Louis as carnival city, the metropolis
of the west and southwest has annihi-
lated all records this year. In addition
to the countless arches and clusters of
many-colored globes, there are ten
splendid set pieces, in which the latest
triumphs of electricity are displayed.
The most prominent of these is on
Twelfth street, between Washington
avenue and Olive. 1t is a great cleo
trical panorama which opens up with a
silent, but overpowcringly eloquent, de-
scription of the discovery of America
goes on to show how the country set
tied up, and concludes with magnif
cent burst of light with the words:

Under Melting Butter.

An Abyssinian will tell you without
blush that he is necessarily washed
at birth, cleans himself on his marriage
morn and hopes to be washed after
death; that once every year he dips
himself in the river on the festival of
st. John the Baptist, and regularly
every morning he vets the end of his
toga with the moisture from his mouth
and freshcns up his eyes Whenever he
feels the hide hard and uncomfortable
he anoints himself with mutton fat. OF
q morning one may see the jeunesSe
doree of a town stalking with body
erect and with about a pound of butter
stuck on their heads gradually melting
under the increasing power of the sun.
The men may look a shade cleaner oc-
casionally, caused not by any act of
their own, but through the accident of
being for hours in rainStorm, which
at this season occurs daily, but even
then the odor of rancid mutton fat inn
pregnates the atmosphere wherever he
may be.-Century.

WHAT DOCTORS SIGNS MEAN.
They Are Latin, Much Abbreviated, But
the Druggists Read Them.

When a man goes to consult his doc
tor about his health he comes away
with small paper covered with some
apparently cabalistic signs. This he
delivers to the druggist, who deciphers
the mysterious symbols without the
least difficulty.
Doctors generally employ Latin in an
abbreviated form-so shortened that the
initial letter only of a word is used.
1t is relic of the past, when physicians
used to write in Latin not only pre-.
scriptions but everything professional.
The first thing that strikes the eye on
a prescription is a sign like big r with
long tail. This stands for the word
Recipe" and means, being addressed
to the dispenser, take thou that is,
provide thyself with the articles which
follow"
When the drugs have been ordered
and the water sufficient to dissolve
them-gcnerally considerable quanti-
ty-thcre is seen a large NJ with line
drawn through it. This stands for
"Misce ut fiat mistura," or, in other
language, Mix these ingredients so
that they may form mixture
Next the instructions as to how the
patient is to take the medicine are given
They may run thus: IS. C. m. H. h."
This, being interpreted, signifies: Su,
mat let him. e., the patient-take,
cochlearia duo, two large tablespoon,
fuls-4 stands for QUARTS and Ii. fo1
horis-together, every hours.
Some times may be seen eft. hist D. r.
n. s." "Ft." means that "hst" or
haustus, a draught may be formed "P.
r. n" imply Pro re nata, as the occasion
may be born; in simpler words, when
required. IS" is sumendus-i. G., to
be taken.
A draught ordered to be taken at bed
time would be prescribed ''h. S. S." The
first two letters mean bora somni, or at
the hour of sleep, The second S. is su.
mendus again.
Physicians use many idioms. For in.
stance, sex lacte" means in milk. Eek
aqua sumcnda" to be taken in water.
"Tusse urgcnte" (ablative absolute),
when the cough is troublesome. mis-.
tura adj tussim" is mixture for a
cough.
Some people think that this method
of prescribing is employed for the pur-
pose of keeping the patient in the dark
as to what is being done with him.
This may be one motive, and a very
wise one, rs many nervous people
would be alarmed if they were to find
out that they were taking strychnine OF
arsenic. Boston Globe.

The Shah's Fayorite Boy.

When the shah of Persia was touring
through Europe three years ago he was
accompanied everywhere and at all
times by little boy, who was gorgeous
ly attired and was allowed to do just
as he pleased The boy was not men,
Der of the imperial family, but just a
fortunate youngster for whom the shah
had taken an unaccountable liking A
report has come from Teheran that the
boy was playing with revolver in the
royal camp near Burnjord recently,
and, as usual, very close to the shah,
when the we; pom accidentally went off
and the shah had the narrowest kind OF
escape from sudden death,

are English boys, and that you could
do no less than stand the maiden in her
peril"
The governor was as good as his
word and kept them all in his castle
not as prisoners, but as guests-until
their ship came and carried them safe
ly away.
OF course there can be only one
sequel to such a scene, either in fact or
fiction. William Temple must fall dcs-
perately in love with Dorothy Osborne
for her beauty and her bravery. That
was precisely what happened, and
Dorothy returned his love. But Doro-
thy Osborne was too beautiful and ac-
complished u girl not to have many
other admirers. In short time Oliver
Cromwell became the chief magistrate
of England, and his son, Henry Crom-
well, also fell in love with Dorothy.
Nothing was too much trouble for
Henry Cromwell to do for Dorothy Os-
borne. She was fond of large dogs, as
some pretty girls of our own time are,
and young Cromwell had orders sent
to his fathers officers in Ireland to pro-
cure for her the finest greyhound to be
found in that kingdom.
Temple was an unknown young
man, and Cromwell was the son of the
lord protector, and Dorothy'S family
frowned upon Temple, and gave every
encouragement to Cromwell. But
Dorothy was true to her love. One of
her brothers Oct us be sure it was not
brother GEORGE demonstrated with
her, and she wrote to Temple: 1--WE
talked ourselves weary; he renowned
me, and defied him." After an in
terval of two centuries and half
every American boy and girl will say
that Dorothy Osborne was full of pure
grit.
Both were very young, and the
courtship lasted for seven years before
they were married. Twenty years
later young Cromwell was forgotten,
and Sir William Temple was one of the
greatest men and Lady Dorothy
Temple one of the greatest ladies in
England, He held so many important
public offices that mere list of them is
too long to print. Twice he refused to
be made secretary of state. He and
Dorothy lived happily together for
many years, and at length they were
laid side by side in Westminster
Abbey, where they still lie Dorothy
died in 1904, and Sir William Temple
In 1899. Perhaps we should call her
Lady Temple, but who can think
of her standing before the parlimen-
tary governor, shouting; God save the
kingr' and call her anything but
Dorothy?
The basis of this true story may be
found in Lord Macaulay's essay on
Sir William Temple William Drys-
dale, in Harper's Young People.

Pccnlinrltics of BIRDS ard Animals

"Some animals exhibit n queer lack
of sense" says man who has observed
them. Put a buzzard in pen about
six feet square, and open at the top, and
it is as much of a prisoner as though it
were shut up in box. This is because
buzaards always begin their fight by
taking short run, and they either can
not or will not attempt to fly unless
thcy can do SO. Again, take a common
bumblcbcc and put it in a goblet 1t
will remain prisoner for hours, trying
TO escape through the sides, without
ever thinking of escaping from the top.
| So also bat can not rise from per-
| fectly level surface. Although it is re-
markably nimble in its flight when
once on the wing, and can fly for many
hours at time without taking the least
rest. if placed on the floor or on fat
ground 1t is absolutely unable to use its
wings. The only thing it can do is to
shuttle helplessly and painfully along
until it reaches some trifliug elevation,
from which it can throw itself into the
air, when AZ once she is oIS like flash

lima railway from the latter point to

two points on the Mexican National

pany, has proved eminently successful.
The distance from Manzanillo to Quad
alajara is 225 miles, and there are al
ready 20 miles of railroad in operation,
leaving 1865 miles to be built.
Guadalajara, with population OF
about $4,000, was formally one of the
most prosperous trade centers of the re-
public, and the best-informed business
men of the city believe that the compile
ton of the railway to the Pacific ocean
will restore it's old-time commercial i'm
portance. With the completion of the
Jalisco- Pacific to Guadalajara, it will
be possible to cross Mexico by rail from
Tampico or Vera Cruz.
