Insidiousness of Dfsease.

There are forms of disease which are
50 insidious in their approach that they
are with difficulty detected before they
have become firmly established In the
hurry and drive of life we are apt not to
stop to take an account of stock OF
our bodies, or note warning symptoms
unless they are quite marked Too
many people do not understand by
gienic and preventive measures, and
when they finally seek advice and treat
ment, the damage has already been ir-
reparably done Many a patient, who
consults his physician for the first time
in his life, is found already past
mending" All of us know that eventu-
ally the time viii come when we shall

CROSSING THE FERRIES.

Crossing the downtown ferries,
challenge q drawer sight
Than the throngs of working people
Homeward faring at night.
Never drum before them,
Never banner above,
But they march to soundless music
Under the flag Of love.
There are men with grimy faces
And coats that are out of date,
Women whose pallid lips and cheeks
Tell the dreary struggle with fate.
But OH the CHEEKY courageO
And the eyes with light aglow
AS over the downtown ferries
These toilers come and gol
They are working for wife ard babies,
For mother bent and gray,
Or a sister bound to weary couch,
With only the strength to pray.
Working for honest wages
To pay for the bread they eat,
Or to buy the children's schoolbooks,
And shoes for the childrens feet
Crossing the downtown ferries
Daily at set of the sun,
You may meet the crowds Of toilerS
Whose long days work is done.
You know what shout of greeting
They'll hear when they lift the latch
"A Shout the angels listen for,
And pause in their songs to catch
VSho does not thrill with pleasure
AS the brave procession comes,
Needing no rally OF bugles,
Nor beat CT strenuous drums?
Though host may press anear them
Who never toll nor spin,
Not theirs to wear the laurelS
The lowlier laborers win

THE PENCIL OF THE ARTIST.

Modern Woodcuts Are Better Than
Chromos for Wall Pictures.
Illustrations may be divided into two
groups: First, those which depict man.
ners and customs and the life of men
and beasts; second, those in which
mems thoughts and creations already
given to the world in another form, as
in literature and traditions, are taken
and used as subjects by the artist.
While it may be true that good deal
of the current illustration Is inferior, it
serves useful purpose in the propaga-
ton Of a love Of art among people who
would not without 1t see any whatever
worthy of the name. Woodcuts and
photographers from the designs OF COM
petent artists, in the Illustrated papers
and magazines. are far better food for
the people in homes distant from the
art centers than the cheap chromos and
cheaper steel engravings that used to
be about all there was in such houses
In the way OF pictures Of any descrip-
ton.
In our own country at least, adds
Scribner's, it is indisputable that moro
has been done through the medium of
illustrated literature to make the mass
es of the people realize that there Is
such thing as art, and that 1t Is worth
caring about, than in any other way.

French Doctors Administer Medicines In
Bread.
The Paris hospitals have. o practice
which may with profit be commended
to the physicians and nurses Of this
country, says the Globe-Democrat.
Some years ago leading physician of
Paris, noting the strenuous objections
entertained by many patients of the
hospitals to taking medicine because of
it's noxious taste, conceived the idea
that medicine should be administered in
the food Of the patients. He began
series of experiments to ascertain
whether the taste of drugs might not
be 30 disguised with food as to render
them if not palatablc at least less ohjec-
tionable. The oils, such as codliver oil,
castor oil, and the like, he concealed in
soups, and invented o peculiar bread.
known as the chalybeate bread, for the
purpose OF administering iron tonic,
which many persons object strongly to
taking on account Of its taste. Every
ounce of this bread contains one grain
of the lactate Of iron, and the quantity
of iron tonic which a patient would
take In the course Of one days meals
would be quite sufficient for all medical
purposes. The idea is not bad one
for our doctors to follow, for patient
with weak or squeamish stomach Is
often put to no little Inconvenience and
suffering by the abominable taste of
some necessary medicines.

Queer Suit for Damages.

A new cause has arisen for lawsuit.
A woman in France was notified by the
authorities of a lunatic asylum of her
brothers death. She went to the
funeral and ordered a handsome tomb
stone. Her mother was so grieved at
her sons death that the plaintiff had to
give up her situation to take care of
her. Then she learned that the diSect-
ors Of the asylum had made a mistake
and that her brother was alive. After
unsuccessful efforts for compensation
she has gone to the courts, claiming
heavy damages for grief and injury.

How Some Men unthinkingly Reveal
Facts 1t Is Unsafe to Toll.
The head of one of the Oldest and
most important financial houses in Chi
cago said this one day lately with q
great deal of emphasis:
81 much wish that our younger busi-
ness men would exercise lSeener APP
probation of how injudicious it is to
voluntarily appear in print by giving
accurate information regarding such
matters as the days on which their
establishments have the most cash on
hand, the mails in which they usually
make their heaviest shipments of cash,
and all that sort of thing. Only this
week a young bank official did all of this
and more. Not only did he pame the
days that the institution with which he
is connected has the most cash on hand
and makes it's heaviest transfers of
money to the post and express offices,
but he gave the same information re-
gardipg two or three other institutions
Of similar nature.
"There have been other cases where
the same thing has been done by young
men. 1t is seriously wrong, wholly and
entirely unbusincsslilse. To do SO
simply means the giving of valuable
and otherwise wholly unattainable
pointers tothe hiGhwaymen from whom
we are hearing with such alarming fire.
quency and in so serious a manner of
late. Were an officer or employe con-
nected with our institution to do any
! thing of the kind he or I would imme-
| 1intelv sever connection with that in
stitution. The man guilty Of doing
such a thing, either Willingly or unwit-
tingly instantly forfcits all right to con-
! fidence. Such a man is either fool or
knave, and neither should hold IL po-
sition' of trust. Most sincerely do I
hope that our young men will be more
on their guard as to this thing in the

A TALL BEAR STORY.
The improbable Yarn of an Arkansas

The improbable Yarn OF an Arkansas
Hunter.
Speaking about bears" said Squire
Garyin. as he settled himself in a COM
Portable chair at the police station and
addressed Memphis Appeal-Avalanche
reporter, speaking about bears,
think had an adventure with one not
long ago that beats the record.
II was hunting around Shell lake,
over in Arkansas one morning. was
in dugout and had my gun and little
dog. The bear I have reference to
made its appearance on the shore, and I
shot him. When landed heard
noise over in the brush, and, thinking
there might be another bear there,
determined to start in to investigate.
The bear had shot lay lifeless, to all
appearances, but had my suspicious
about him, knowing the treacherous
habits of the varmint, and before I
went away tied the chain of the boat
around his neck and left the little dog
to watch.
II had not gone far in the brush be-
fore heard the dog barking, and, hur-
rying back, what was my surprise to
see the bear climbing tree and pulling
the boat up after him, with the dog sit
ting in the stern thereof and barking
for dear life. The sight almost para
lyzed me for moment, but soon re-
covered and fired. The bear sprang
from the tree jerking the boat contain
ing the dog after him, and he pulled out
for the other side. l had to stop to re-
load, and by the time I was ready to
shoot again the animal was out Of
range. ran around to the other side
of the lake, expecting to catch him
when he landed, but he was too sharp
for me. He only stopped long enough
to let the dog out Of tho boat, when he
pulled out again before I got in range,
and when he got in the middle Of the
lake he climbed into the boat himself
and sat on his launches looking at me.
I never recovered bear nor boat; but
there are stories ahoat among the in
habitants of the country in the neigh
borhood Of Shell lake of a bear being
seen frequently gliding gracefully up
and down the lake in dugout."
