vate Travelling Dressing Room.
A busy woman doctor in Brooklyn,
whose practice Is so extensive that il
keeps her driving over the city's III paved
streets for many hours every day, has
had made for her a brougham which
combines about rs many comforts as Is
possible TO pack into so confined a space
To begin with, under the seat is a capa-
cious drawer, divided into compartments,
TO hold those surgical instruments which
a doctor must carry.
In the same drawer il found room fol
two or three small handbags containing
an assortment of medicines. There il
also space for a small portable electric
battery in its polished wood case. These
are all hidden away, however, when the
drawer is shut, and so do not mar by
their painful suggestiveness the snugly
comfortable appearance Of the rest Of the
interior.
There is nothing out Of the way about
this, Of course. The novel features art
all in the front Of the brougham facing
the occupant. The most striking" is a
pretty clock, by which the doctor times

She generally has some of her patients

interest.
A very stout woman boarded the car
and sat down next to the small boy. She
took ticket out of her purse, but when
the conductor came along he somehow
failed to notice her. He passed and re.
passed her several times, and finally,
with a nervous glance around, she re-
placed the ticket In her purse.
This was too much for the small boy,
who had all the while kept his eye on
her, and the next time the conductor
came along he exclaimed:
"You didn't get her money, mister. ]
don't see how you missed her. She's the
fattest lady in the car, Anybody could
see her."
This complimentary allusion to the
woman's weight caused blush to play
over her broad face, and she quickly
produced a ticket, while all the other
passengers smiled.-Pittsburg Dispatch

PARIS BATHcARTs,
Queer Way In Which the Average French
man Makes His Additions.

An American familiar with the fact
that every house or apartment, renting
as low as $500 per year in the United
States, has its own bathtub, with hot
and cold water supply and waste to re-
move the contents of the tub, is amused
II not amazed, when on a visit to Paris
he gets an idea Of the custom still pre-
vailing In that metropolis Of luxury and
elegant buildings.
The large hotels, some very costly pri-
vate mansions and apartments, and the
public lighthouses have their bathrooms,
as is the custom in the United States,
though the French bathroom is really
much larger, and is elegantly furnished
with rugs, lounges, dressing tables, ETC.,
the idea being that if one takes bath
one must lie down and take nap afterit,
People living In apartments costing as
high as 81 900 year, and in the new
quarter Of Paris in the neighborhood of
the Champs Elysees, when they wish TO
bathe, other than take a sponge bath in
small portable tub either go to the
public bathing establishments or send
to them TO have bath brought to their
apartments. Sunday morning one sees
a strange looking two wheeled cart like
very high dog cart, on which there is
a framework built over the wheels.
This framework can hold three bath
tubs. They are made entirely of copper
aud are about feet long, 20 inches deep
at the end and 1s inches on the side.
The driver of this vehicle Is perched
up high on a small seat in front, is bare
headed and wears a blouse. On each
side Of him an iron ring encircles a cop
per colored vessel, holding about three
gallons of hot water, which rests on a
little shelf. He also carries a supply of
dry towels and sheets. The bathing es-
tablishments have these carts, and when
a patron sends word that he wants a hot
bath at q certain hour the bath Is put on
the cart, the kettle filed with hot water,
and the cart with its strange load is
rapidly driven TO the building in which
the apartment is.
The driver carries the bathtub, as an
Adirondack guide carries a canoe, on
his head and shoulders, from the first to
the fifth floor, as the case may be, and
after spreading a sheet to protect the
carpet, he spreads also a clean sheet in
side Of the tub, so that the bather does
not touch the metal. Then he carries
up the kettle Of hot water which he has
brought from tho main establishment.
The necessary cold water he gets on the
premises, either on the same floor with
the apartment, or In the courtyard.
When the bather has hal his bath, the
attendant removes the spiled water by
dipping it out, wipes out the tub and
carries It with his kettles and soiled
towels down stairs TO his cart. The
charge for all this is about sixty cents,
with tho usual additional tip to the man.

Something Is lost

COHteWtHg as tOSt
when you use DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy. It's Catarrh. The worst
cases yield to its mild, soothing,
cleansing, and healing properties.
No matter how bad your case, or of
how long standing, you can be cured.
Incurable cases are rare. It's worth
$500 to you, if you have one. The
manufacturers of DR.. Sage's Remedy
are looking for them. They'll pay
you that amount in cash, if they
can't cure you. It's a plain square
offer from a responsible business
house, and they mean it. 1t seems
too one-sided, too much of a risk.
It would be-with any other medi-
cine behind it. 1t only goes to prove
what's been said incurable cases
are rare-with DIR. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy.

time, By its mild, soothing, cleans
ing and healing properties, it con-
quers the worst cases. 1t removes

of the sense of taste, smell or hear

caused by the violence Of Catarrh,

IN HIDDEN WAYS.

Strange is 1t that the sweetest thing
Forever is the shyest;
The sweeter song, the swifter wing,
Ere thou the singer spyest.
The more the fragrance in the rose,
The more 1t hides adjusting,
And when with love a maiden glows,
The more her face is flushing.
IN depths OF night, in gloomy mine,
In wildwood streams-in stories
Oflowly lives unsung-there shine
The worlds divinest glories.
AS low arbutus blossoms rest
In modesty unbidden,
So man and nature hide their best,
And God himself is hidden.
