1T WAS PETRIFIED WOOD.
Troubles of MiId-Mannered Youtl
ut The NXOIld,S Eair.

{
! It was a meek, mild hammered youth
| that stood behind the exhibit OF petrified
wood. There was look OF agony on his
face that seemed born of fright. a visitor
! approached the exhibit, and the face OF
the mild-mannered man grew ashen pale.
''Is this purified wood?" asked the
visitor.
NO. sir; this is petrified wood" The
visitor withdrew. The next came.
mister, is this Cssifed wood ?''
"No, sir; that is petrified wood" The
ashen gray on the youths lace was grow
ing more pronounced.
The listener understood the situation
now, and sympathized and drew nearer.
''Wife, that is peterhed wood" ex-
planned an old farmer, as he and his better
half passed by.
This isn't oxidized wood, is it ?" asked
a schoolgirl next. The attendant ex-
planned his exhibit as before.
"Is that galvanized wood?" was the
next.
NO, madam, that is petrified woods"
The attendant was growing weaker.
''Is that perforated wood ?"
mo, sir; that is petrihed- wood"
''Is that the new cement we read
about?"
NO, sir; that is petrifed wood"
SIS that marbleized wood ?"
he dlI6uudDI lGllcu 10 answer. me
woman looked up, and, seeing the youth
about to faint, produced her smelling
salts, and the attendant revived. But,
alas thirty seconds only elapsed before
gaunt countryman approached.
'Do you sell any seed that raise that
kind of wood?'
This was slight change and the lad in
misery moved about and found some
small chips of wood in the case, which
he sold to the gaunt countryman for a
consideration. But the eXerLion only
weakened him the more.
'Was that wood sawed and polished
before it was petrified?''
''No, sir; don't think it was" It was
evident that the young man couldn't last
! long. The listener would have helped
him if he could, but the young man had
to stand the strain alone. There was
hopelssness on every feature as one more
anxious admirer came up.
WAS this wood petrited especially for
the fair"
! But the young man had tainted. The
nearest guard called an am mbulance. A
crowd gathered about and cast plying
glances as he was laid in the wagon. He
was taken to the hospital, and the trained
nurses wondered what it ali meant, as he
groaned in his delirium, mo, no, this is
petrified wood. .'-Chicago Tribune.

THE CELEBRATED PHYSICIAN. ;"
A Person Quoted by All, But Familiar
to None.

to None.
We should like to get hold of the gen.
tleman who masquerades as "a cele-
brated physician in the public prints.
He is a person quoted by all, yetdamiliar
to none. Sometimes he is "a celebrated
English PHYSICIAN and then he has
| something to say about diet and drink.
lie is the person who some years advises
the public to take two ounces of alcohol
daily, while in other and drier times he
/ asserts that spirits are poisonous in even
the slightest amount; he advises people
to take hot milk and cold tea, TO wash the
ears with ice water as a preventive of
colds, to sleep with the head toward the
nOrth-Or south-to wear garterS and
| liver-pads and belts. The celebrated
French physician" who is less heard of
nowadays than formerly. is more fre-
quently credited with bon-mot or some
marvellous surgical or psychological con-
tribution to newspaper science. Ihe
celebrated German physiciar' utters
some last word about the nature OF DIS
ease, or advises daily baths.
Lately celebrated physicians" have
| been concerning themselves greatly
| about the ladies. We quote the follow
ing:
"a celebrated physician on being asked
w hat is the exercise most conducive to
physical beauty in women?' replied,
very u6Clu0UIy, Walking.
Tennis he declared TO be too violent,
and too much of it is likely to lengthen
the arms and make the hight of the
shoulders uneven.
"'Cycling renders women awkward in
their walk. They gradually come to
move with plunging kind of motion.
/ the reverse OF graceful, and frequently
cultivate weakness Of back. which makes
them hold themselves badly.
ic,n Tod md m -hn
have habitually ridden for years usually
have one hip higher than the other.
"Croquet really does not give exercise,
and after a survey of all the ways he
knew.in which women take physical eX
ercise, he considered none so conducive
TO health and beauty Of form as walk
ing"
TO this we say, in the name of the Pro-
phet-Fudgel The above anonymous ce-
lebrity utters an opinion which is dog
matte, destructive ana audacious. 1t is
read and quoted over the country. Thou
sands OF people perhaps believe IL;
mothers begin 10 worry, stop their daugh-
ters from their sports, and set them to the
insane task of pure and ObJectless pedeS-
trianism. And. after all, the celebrated
physician" may have been only the re-
porter on daily paper, with fad to
propagate.
AS a matter of fact, no expert in ply
sicai training or physician of practical
experience, would agree for moment
with the celebrated gentleman quoted
above. They would say that the physical
tIaining of every girl is problem by
itself; that properly applied calisthenics,
with baths, could do most for physical
development, and that outdoor exercise
should include something calling for the
development of the chest-a thing walk
ing does not mplish.-Medical Rec
