We were joined at table by for
eign gentleman with high cheek bones,
yellow face and slanting eyes, and
dressed in the latest European fashion
with high collar, four-in-h hand scarf
and pointed shoes. He was very cour
teous, and managed what little Eng
fish he used as skillfully as he dresses.
And he gave me touch OF the far
east in the story Of his being here; for
he is under cloud. an amiable exile
whose return to his native land might
involve his being boiled in oil, or other
ingenious form Of death.
For well as he figured at luncheon
with US, hear that he has been
obliged to leave because of his having
poisoned TOO many Of his guests one
day at table-former enemies of his
and because Of his having dispatched
with the sword those whose digestion
had resisted his efforts at Cancellation.
However this may be, his extradition
is demanded; to which he objects, and
invokes western ideas OF civilization,
and protests that his excuses have
been merely political. John La Fargo

II is said that Oliver Goldsmith once
seriously maintained, in dispute with
DR.. johnson, that man wags his upper
jaw in the act of mastication. Oliver
was away off, of course. Yet if Oil
yer had maintained that man general
ly, and women. too, in masticating
prefer the left sides Of the jaws, he
would have been quite right. For al
though ninety people out of a hun
dred may tell you that they masticate
ON the right side, a test will prove that
at least seventy-ive out of one hun
dred people use the molars on the left
side in preference to those on the right
If, however, the molars on the left
side were very scarce, man was likely
to shift to the other side. Therefore,
while man may think that he chooses
the right side Of his own volition, the
fact generally holds good that he has
poor teeth on the left. Pittsburg Bull

The Chinese, perhaps, show the
greatest repugnance TO the surgical
operation of amputation of all the civ
ilized races of man. 1t is a remarkable
fact, however, that all savage and
semi barbaric races exhibit the same
dislike to having any member of the
body severed. Many of the Sea ISL
and races willingly die before they will
undergo an operation which involves
the loss of limb. 1t does not seem as
if the Chinese show their dislike for
having members trimmed on account
of fear or pain, it being widely known
that as religious fanatics they will I'M
dergo any amount of physical suffer
ing; it only seems to be desire to
keep the body intact. If Chinaman
does, as has been known in rare cases,
submit to the operation, he will not be
satisfied unless the limb be preserved
and kept SO that he can see it and nave
it buried with him at death. Cases
have been known where amputated
limbs have been eaten by their owners

The BELLS OF NoTRe DAME.

What though the radiant thoroughfars
Teens with noisy throngi
What though men handy everywhere
The nbald jest and songi
Over the din Of oaths and cries
Broodeth q wonderous calm,
And mid that solemn stiffness rise
The bells Of Notre Dame.
Heed not, dear Lord, they seem 10 say
Thy weak and erring child;
And thou. O gentle mother. pray
That God be reconciled;
And on mankind, O Christ, our King.
Pour out thy precious balm"
It's thus they plead and thus they sinc
Those bells Of Notre Dame
And SO, methinks, God, bending down
To ken the things Of earth,
Heeds not the mockery Of the town
Or cries Of ribald mirth;
Forever soundeth In his ears
A penitent psalm
It's thy angelic voice he hears
o bells Of Notre DameI
Plead on, o bells. that thy sweet voice
May still forever be
An intercession to rejoice
Benign Divinity;
And that thy tuneful grace may fall
Like dew, a quickening balm
Upon the arid hearts Of all
o bells Of Notre Dame!

An Old English Institution.

We have quite lost the mughouse.
This was kind of music hall,
q large room where only men were ad-
mitted, and where ale or stout was the
only drink consumed. Every man had
his pipe; there was president. A harp
played at one end of the room, and out
of the company present one after the
other stood up to sing. Between the
songs there were toasts and speeches,
sometimes of a political kind, and the
people drank to each other from table
to table. Walter Besant in Harpers

REMAakAsLE INCIDENT.
A Lecturer Discovers His Danger aaa
Loses His Lffs--A Terrible warn-
ing to Others.

1t 10 scene In the lecture-room Of a
medical college in New Orleans. The
professor 10 lecturing before an intclIi-
gent class OF medical students, He Il
describing the human body, its defects
and the danger by which it ID surrounded.
IN order to illustrate it he has finds
from the human body, which he il sub
tecting to chemical tests.

scribed to you the appearance Of the
human huid in diseased state; I will
now show you how the same fluid an

trembled, he caught his breath. he naled
and exclaimed: "Gentlemen. / have iust
made most horrible discovery: nv
sell have Bright's disease Of the kidneye.''
In less than one year he was dead.
The above dramatic and strictly true
incident shows the terrible danger and
mysterious nature Of this modern discase.
which may well be called the demon 81
the present century. It steals into the
system like thief, manifests it, presence
BY the commonest symptoms and fas-
tens itself upon the system before the
victim IS aware. II ID nearly as heredi-
tary a. consumption, quite as common
and fully as fatal. Entire families. in
heriting it from their ancestors, have
died, yet none Of the number knew or
realised the mysterious power which was
removing them. Hundreds Of people
die daily by what is called heart disease,
apoplexy, paralysis, spinal complaint,
rheumatism, pneumonia and other COM
mon diseases, when in reality it is
Bright's disease Of the kidneys. These
are solemn facts, Int all the more serious
because Of their solemnity.
There has never been but one remedy
known for the cure Of Bright's disease,
or even for its relief, and that remedy
has become the most popular Of any pre-
paration known to the world, It is
Warner's Safe Cure. 1t has taken men.
and women, too, who were in the lowest
stages and restored them to perfect
health and strength. II will invaribly
check the first stages OF this terrible dis
ease, If taken in time. 1t is indorsed by
physicians, approved by scientists and
used by the best people in the land. 1t
is scientific preparation and owes its
popularity wholly to its power. 1t can
be procured OF any reliable dealer, but
great care should be exercised to secure
the genuine and not permit any I'M
scrupulous dealer to sell anything in its
place.
