a DOCTORS ADVICE.
Self-Inspection and Simple Means of
Curing It's Mental Effects.

Many persons who have many ailments
of slight individual importance got
group of symptoms which are annoying
and sometimes distressing. These are
apt to cause in those of melancholy
temperament an anxiety in regard to
health and general concern in ones self.
This continued produces habit of max
ing ones feelings a mirror, but this
mirror, it may be remarked, is about as
accurate in its reflections as the pieces of
glass in dime museum which make
lean man fat or fat man lean and in
general distort every feature.
Headaches, pains over the stomach,
backaches, feelings of fatigue, muscular
soreness, depressed spirits and multi
tude of other things, appearing singly
and amounting to little, tend to give one
an impression that disease actually exists
where there is nothing that is tangible.
This condition of ailment carries with
it what is known as hypochondria-a
mental affection which brings with it an
introspection.
Those who have habit of putting in
the balance their little complaints against
nature scarcely realize the risk they run.
Thinking of ones self and specializing
on the outcome of this little thing and
that little thing in the way of something
extraordinary often makes an invalid out
of one who is really in good physical con-
dition.
Hypochondria is a purely mental dis
ease, born of internal feelings, but always
outwardly expressed. Depression of
spirit, tendency to magnify little com
plants and searching after what does
not exist marks its course 1t is diagnosed
with ease and can be cured by proper at
tcntion to few very simple details.
In your ordinary course of existence,
do not drug yourself; take plenty of ex
ercisc; avoid the mirror, except for the
toilet; let your conversation not include
yourself; occupy your mind with sensible
reading matter or home work, and, i'll a
nutshell, forget that you exist so far as
your petty ailments arc concerned.

Captain and DR.. Amber about the same
distance behind the main body. trying
to cheer and help poor Erickson, : the
sailor whose feet were frozen on the
boat journey, and the story of whose
march along the Delta and subsequent
death, when his sutferings had rendered
him a raving maniac, contributes one OF
the most horrible chapters to Arctic his
tory. To communicate with the Captain
would require walk of three miles and
the same distance to return to the point
from which the reindeer were first seen,
and from which the hunt should COM
mence. Where would the reindeer be
then? But, true to his native instinct,
Alexy decided to hunt the game when
he knew where to look for it, and take
his chances on the consequences. MIN
dermann continued to lead and select
the route for the little band of starve-
lngs until he found an empty log hut
with plenty of driftwood nearby, and
there they sought shelter for the night.
Though big fire was built in the hut
the men turned in shivering with the
cold, for it is impossible to keep warm
in cold climates when the stomach is
empty.
About 1890 o'clock Alexy reached
the hut. bearing upon his shoulders all
that he could carry of two reindeer that
he had killed. The remainder Of the
meat he had cached SO that theJ could
get it the next day. The Captain had
the men called up and told them to
make fire and cook all the meat they
wanted. In a few minutes rousing fire
filled the room with its CHEEKY light, and
the pots were boiling merlily. 1t was
the happiest moment of the entire
march, and the poor fellows chatted and
joked in the full belief that all danger
of starvation, which but few moments
before had stared them in the face, was
past, and that they would have plenty
of food from that time on.
While the men were enjoying them
selves in this way Alexy stood with
Captain De Long behind the group at
the fireside, and the Captain compll-
mented the hunter on his achievement,
but considered that he should embrace
the opportunity to call attention to what
he believed to be the necessary discl-
pline to be maintained under such cir
cumstances. He therefore said, in
effect, as follows:
"You did very we'll to-day, Alexy.
we needed this food very much and [
give you credit for getting it, but there
is one thing I must call your attention
to. You know you disobeyel my Or
ders in leaving the marching column
without permission. Never mind
though, will let it pass this time: but
remember, don't do so again."
He never had occasion to reprovc
Alexy again, for they saw no more deer
and his discipline received no more
shocks of that kind.

WHEN MY SHIP CONES IN.

Away in the sea, oh, wonder where,
Somewhere, somewhere in the waters blue,
Where the winds are soft and the skies are
fair,
In a mystic country no man ever knew,
My ship rides safe in dreamy calm;
Perhaps by an isle where the lotus grows
Perhaps by an isle of the spreading palm,
Perhaps-who knows2 All, yes, who knows?
But her cargo is safe whcreer she be,
And her crew will tire of the lazy life,
And her prov will cut course through the
sea
Some day, know, like q cleaning kuifc.
But, oh, as patiently sit and wait,
1t seems so long to me, so long
She fingers outside the harbor gate,
And her sailors list to the mermaid's song,
But ships come in, and I'll yet see her
In time that is long or time that is short;
Although, forsooth, she seems to prefer
The sunny isles to the grimy port
-ICarl Smith, in Harper's Weekly.

The robbers saw the fugitives, yelled
viciously and fired their pistols. Bull
lets whstled alarmingly near the intend
ed victims.
Macdonald closed the lantern, and,
holding Hclen's hand, walked along the
islands edge. Again he allowed q CLEAN
of light to escape. He saw the flag ter
feet from him, and closed tho lantern be-
fore the villains could fire.
The steps of the pursuers sounded
fcarfully near.
The fugitives ran forward, expecting
each moment to be precipitated into the
water. But fortune favored them. They
fell against the flag pole, and recovering
themselves in second, slid down the
islands steep side. Macdonald opened
the lantern. Thank God! the boat was
at their feet. They sprang into 1t.
Macdonald handed Helen the lantern,
cut the rope, graspcd the oars, and they
were atloat.
At this moment three Of the robbers,
waving pistols, gained the summit of the
bank.
"Shut the lantern" Macdonald cried.
Before Helen could obey the caverR
rang with great discharge of firearms:
The three men threw up their hands and
fell forward into the water
Macdonald knew that his friends had
come to the rescue just in time. He
looked behind him and saw on the lava
shell his five brave companions waving
their hands with delight.
The boat touched the shore. Willing
hands assisted our hero and heroine to
alight.
Awed by the of their comrades the
five robbers on the island surrendered,
and, with most of the property which
they had stolen, were taken back to Al
buquerque in triumph.
Young Macdonald the fair Helen and
their five gallant friends were received
with rapturc> by Colonel Blocker and his
wife, and were lionizcd by 81 the people

A CREOLE KITCHEN.

The pet project of the Woman's Aux

much has been said here at home, and i,
the North, where the papers dcvotine
columns to Worlds Fair news have writ
ten SO pleasantly of this proposed exhibi,
OF the Louisiana cookery, is at last an

read that their Creole Kitchen would be

Out of this project, which has passed

OF time in Chicago dlring the fair In
all the plans that have been formulated
Tor the convenience of visitors at the
tar, there seems to have been no partic-
ular provision made for the accommoda-
ton of the hundreds of colored people
who will be among the visitors.
The Louisiana women will take with
them to the fair as an indispensable ad-
Junct to the Creole Kitchen a full CORPS
OF colored servants and cooks. Creole
darkies from the prairies in the interior.
who will gaze open-eyed on the great ex-
position, after lifetime spent in the
green fields of this State. What to do
with this colorcd help in the matter of
providing accommodations for them near
to the grounds has puzzled the brains of
the supporters and advocates of the Gre
ole Kitchen movement, but this difficulty
is IN the way of being solved by the plan
of one of the bright women interested in
the Louisiana work, who has suggested a
Louisiana dormitory building at the fair.
where the colored help could be lodged.
This seemed very likely solution.
and negotiations have been entered into
for the securing of house in Chicago
with large number of rooms to accom-
nodate Louisiana visitors to the fair.

The Great Wall of Cuira

The great wall of China was measured
IN many places by Mr.. Unthank, an
American engineer, when engaged On a
survey for Chinese railway. His meas
urements gave the height at eighteen
feet. and width on top of fifteen feet.
Every few hundred yards there is a tower
twenty-four feet square and twenty to
forty-live feet high. The foundation of
the wall is of solid granite. Mr.. Tn.
thank brought home with him brick
from the wall which is supposed to have
been made 200 years before the time of
Christ.
In building the immense stone fence to
keep out the Tartars the builders never
attempted to avoid mountains or chasms
to save expense. For 1900 miles the
wall goes over mountain and plain, and
every foot of the foundation is in solid
granite, and the rest of the structure is
solid masonry. In some places the wall
IS built smooth up against the bank. or
canons, or precipices, where there is
sheer descent of a thousand feet. Small
streams are arcaed over, but in larger
streams the walls run to the waters
edge, and tower is built on each side.
On the top Or the wall there are
breastworks or defenses, facing in and
out, SO the defending force can pass
IRON one tower to another without being
exposed to an enemy from either side |
10 calculate the time in building or the |
cost OF this wall is beyond human skill. |
50 far as the magnitude of the work is
it surpasses everything in an-
Gent and modern times of which there
$ any trace. The pyramids of Egypt
ire nothing compared to it.--Detroit
