CURE FOR WRITER'S CRAMp.
Steel Pens Must Be Abandoned in
Favor of Quilts or Pencils.
81. LOUIS Post-Dispa

with all the advance that has been
made in steel pens" said Charles L. XII
oourn, nothing has yet been produced to
equal the old-fashoned quill for easy
writing and for facility in making strokes
OF varying thickness. Ii is true we nave
qullls today, but unfortunately cutting
GULL is one of the lost arts. and it is very
difficult nowadays to fud a man or woma n
who can prepare quill with that beautiful
accuracy which was one of the accomplish
ments OF our parents and grandparents. A
generation ago what is known for want OF
better name as writers cramp' was un-
known, and although it may be said that
we are more OF generation of writer's than
our forefathers, it must also be re-
membered that printing was much
less used then than now, that the type-
writer was Il known, and that many men
and women wrote ten and twelve hours a
day for livelihood. Surprising writer's
cramp to be the result of series of imper-
ceptlble electric shocks, it can easily be
seen why 10 was that quill-drivers never
suffered. The only- relief nowadays from
that tlresome contraction of the muscles
called writer's cramp is frst-class lead
pencil. Many weil-known authors use a
pencil invariably, arguing that it is less
eXertion and that the flow of thought is
less lnterfered with than when a pen is
used. This may be correct, but however
that may be. 1t is certain that il the pen is
mightler than the sword, ii Is certainly
nlghtler than a pencil as a finger-achf
producer, and unless something equivalent
TO quill pen is introduced shortly there

HER ATTRACTIONS.

She has no dazzling charms, classic grace,
her:
Yet. looking at her sweet and gentle face
wonder what our lives would be without her
She has no wish in the great world to shine:
For work outside woman's sphere no vearnfnc.
But on the altar OF homes sacred shrine
She keeps the fire of pure affection burning
We tell our griets into her patient ear;
She whispers "Hopei" when ways are dark and
dreary:
The little children like to have her near
And run into her open arms when weary
II er step falls lightly by the sufferers bed:
Where poverty and care abound she fingers:
And many weary heart and aching head
Find gifts OF healing in her tender fingers
She holds helping hand to those who fail
w hlch gently guides them back to paths of duty:
Her kindly eyes, with kindly 10 ks for all.
See in un comeIest souls some hidden beauty
Her charity would every need embrace;
j he shy and timid fear not to ad dress her;
with loving tact she rightly fills he place.
While all who know her pray that heaven m ay
pless her. Chambers Journal.

An Electrical Bicycle Railroad.

A novel experiment is about to be tried

l ork. A bicycle road operated by steam
has been running for the last three years
TO the satisfaction of the projectors be-

is now proposed to increase the effective
ness Of the SYSTEM by the use of electric
lily, For this purpose track of a mile
and half has been constructed. A special
motor is to be used, with a driving wheel
of five feet.
This combination should give a speed of
one and four-fiths miles per minute. but
u IS understood that no such speed will be
attempted. 1t is announced, however,
that when the road between Patehngue
and Brooklyn is completed, speed of 100
miles an hour will be attained. The qnes-

HIS OWN PHYSICIAN.


The professor of anatomy was lecturiDg
on The 1ntercostals. OF course every
one knows that the interc0stals are those
thin planes of muscular and tendonous
tissues that fill up the spaces between our
ribs. There are two of them on each side,
tapping one over the otter, and called,
from their respective positions, the Sin
ternal" and the external intercostals.
The professor of anatomy had dis
coursed at length and learnedly upnn these
important adjuucts to the human frame. H
had dwelt upon their structure, their
''origins" and insertions" their posi-
tions had been demonstrated on the cadaver
and he had fully described their relation
to the pectoralis major and minor, serra-
tus magnus, rhomboideus major, serratus
positions, scalenus, the sacro-lumbalis and
longis sinus dorsi, the cervcalis aScen-
dens, transversalis CALI, levatoers costa
rum and the obiiQuus eXternuS abdOminis.
Upton. who hal stopped on his way down
street and stepped into the amphitheater of
the college just to hear what sort OF stuff
the young sawbones were being fed with,
felt his brain whirl as he listened to the
professor Keeling off these awful names,
while the assembled students sat aud
swallowed them all without winking.
The professor suddenly stopped. cleared
his throat ana took drink OF wafer. lie
did this so naturally that some people
would really have been deceived into
thinking he was doing it 10 quench his
thirst. but Upton. knew better-he saw
through the lecturers little game and
knew he stopped because had he not done
Sc his jaw would have been dislocated in
another moment.
Presently the professor began again.
Just word about the function of the in
tercostals," he said. Now, it is not usually
customary for lecturer in anatomy TO
devote much time to the functions of
muscles and organs. That study belongs
to the province of physiology, but Upton
was in luck. that morning he was having
instruction in two branches of science at
once.
ut occurred TO me-" said the professor.
"as l was studying up in these muscles be-
fore meeting you this morning. gentlemen,
that did not feel quite positive as to the
function of the intercostas. So | looked
the matter up. l found, upon referring to
