The Garterphone,

An ingenious little instrument called
the garterphone has recently been in,
vented which, attached to my lady's
garter, registers the distance she walks
each day. The physical culture craze
has put an end to the reign Of the Ian.

of outdoor sports, and just now walking
is the fad. The heroine of the hour is
the woman who has walked the greatest
number Of miles a day. Hitherto it has
been impossible to determine to a nicely
the distance covered in a given time, as
when day is spent in the deviating
peregrinations of shopping tour Now
the young woman proudly exhibits her
garterphone to admiring friends, and it
is not unusual for the little machine to
register five or six miles, and even ten
occasionally.
The young woman who was too lazy
to walk and yet who did not wish to be
entirely out of the race, sat in the ham
mock all day enjoying a novel, while
she swung her pretty foot back and
forth, thereby attaining the same result
on her garterphone as her more ener-

Almost peculiar case of prolonged sleep
is at present occupying the attention of
medical circles in Germany. A miner
named Johann Latus is an inmate of the
hospital at Myslowitz, in Silesia, where
he was admitted four months and half
ago, and since then all efforts to wake
him have been fruitless. DR.. Albers,
the doctor attending him, is of the opin-
ion that the apparent sleep is really a
state of catalepsy, though medical science
has on record no previous case of such a
prolonged nature He has arrived at
this conclusion on account of all the
limbs being absolutely rigid. The ap-
pearance of the man, however, betrays
no signs of this. The body lies quite
still, the breathing is regular, and there
is healthy color in the cheeks. In the
last few days the body has become much
less rigid, and the patient has even made
some slight movement, without, how.
ever, the eyes opening or the condition
of apparent sleep being in any way dis
turbed. In the four months and hall
that the sleep has lasted the hair has in
creased in length, but the beard has re.
manned stationary. Nourishment to the
extent of two or three liters of milk is
administered daily by tube inserted
into the throat.-Vienna Letter.

Matrimonial Advice for Young Women.

Matrimonial Advice for Young Women.
Rev. Dr. John A. Brooks preached re-
Gently on marriage. Among other things
he said: "A young lady ought never to
marry until she is matured, and then
when she finds man TO suit her she
ought to marry him, But do not marry
to keep from being an old maid. Old
maids are honorable. Nearly all the
women who have figured in history rs
poets, orators, composers and queens
have been old maids, Do not marry n
stingy man, He will always be com
planning of your expenditures, and will
refuse you the necessary money TO insure
your happiness and will lead you a
miserable life. Do not marry fop or
dandy, His brains are all in his heels
and clothes While he may be a good
thing for the girls to play with, he would
be an awful thing to live with.

Do not marry an immoral man. His as

who are unable to pay their board at

to add 100000 and one-half of the ulti-

A Parrot Story.

A lady who had bought parrot of bird
fancier was shocked afterward to discover
that the parrot was addicted to the per
nicious habit Of exaggerated colloqual-
isms." The lady at once took the bird back
and complained, requesting him to refund
her money. The man refused. saying it
was quite easy to cure the parrot. He then
told her the next time the parrot offended
to take it out Of the cage, grasp it by the
tail and swing it violently round her head
several times. 1t was not long before the
parrot raised the lady's ire by a string of
choice expressions and the lady proceeded
to take it out" of the bird. After swing
ing it round her head till she was tired she
laid the parrot on the table. The bird got
up, and shaking his feathers together
