The Commercial Traveller.

AuC
His home is in the sleeping car,
No vine or fig trees shade,
His music is its clinking wheels,
His poetry IS trade.
This missionary of the mart,
He spreads the true faiths germs
The endless merits of his house
Above all other firms.
He buttonholes the kings of trade,
His sample case unrolls,
And talks until the love of life
Grows feeble in their souls.
The bolted doors swing wide for him,
He heeds no locks nor bars,
And fears not any face of man
Beneath the sun or stars.
The heroes of baronial times
Were armed from hair to heel,
With iron pots upon their heads
And pantaloons of steel,
The hustler hero of the day
Is armorless and weak,
Cut for the vigor of his tongue
Aud blushless breadth of cheek.
He meets all men with fearless mien,
Nor knows to pause or swerve,
With Liliputian bashfulness
And Brobdignagian nerve.
No dim distractions ve1 his soul;
His creed and happiness
Is lust to make sale and catch
The 2 o'clock express.-Amusin

Headache and Dixxincss' Frequent
Causes Of ApOplexy ana Paralysis.

The most recent and profound research

Something the Pyramid Guides Didn't
Know

In his autobiography the late Sir
w. Semens relates an amusing anec-
dote. An Arab called his attention to
the fact when at the top of the Pyramid
of Cheops, when he raised his hand
with fingers outspread, an acute singing
note was heard the sound ceasing as
soon as he let his hand fall
81 found his assertion" he writes,
ITO be true. As soon as | raised one
of my own fingers above my head | felt
prickling in the fingers. That this
could only be caused by an electrical
phenomenon was proved by the slight
electrical shock felt on trying to drink
out Of wine bottle. So | wrapped a
full bottle OF wine that | had with me
in damp paper, and thus converted it
into a leyden bottle, which was soon
strongly charged with electricity by the
simple device of holding it high above
my head The Arabs had already
become distrustful on seeing small
llghtnlngs, as it were, issue from the
wine bott es held up by myself and
companions, and now held a brief con-
sultaliUn. Suddenly, at given signal,
each of NY companions was seized by
the guide who he'd led him up. who
now tired to force him to 20 down
again. myself was sttnding 1t the
vely top of the pyramid when the sheik
Of the Arabs came to NE and told me
through my interpreter that The Arabs
had determined that we w,re Il once
to leave the pyramid, because we we're
practising magic, and it might dan age
their chance OF earning living.
On my refusing to obey orders, the
sbeik caught hold Of my left hand.

my right hand with the bottle in the
attitude Of magician, afterwards low

1T FAsTENs ON sTuDlous MEN
Angina Pectoris and Famous People
Who Have Died OF 1t.

The name Of that disease, angina
pectoris, which has recently been given
as the cause of one or two deaths of
well known men, is the scientific term
for disease that is more familiarly
known as breast pang. 1t is said that
DR. J. G.. Holland died of it, and so
did Charles Sumner, Rutherf,rd b.
Hayes, and a member Of the Astor
family, who died recently. Breast
pang does not so well describe the all
ment as the phrase rheumatism of the
heart, which the doctors applied to the
disease half century ago 1t used to
be said of this ally of mortality that no
physician has ever been able to study
its symptoms, because it comes unex-
pectedly and steathily and acts quickly,
either to kill or 20 return as suddenly
again. 1t was care fully studied in 1866,
however In one medical dictionary
it is described as "an affection of the
chest characterized by severe pains,
falntness and anxiety, occurring in
paroxysms, connected with disorders of
the pneumogastriC and sympathetic
nerves and their branches and frequently
associated with organic disease Of The
heart. An attao': OF angina pectoris
commences with pain in the region of
the heart, generally on level with the
lower end of the sternum. The pain
is severe and generally of a grasping,
crushing, or stsbbing character. 1t is
accompanied by distressing sense cf
sinking, Of fainting, or of impending
death"
The attacks last various lengths of
time between minute and an hour or
even two hours. They end either in
the death Of the victim or the cessation
OF the attack. Often the disease mani
fest itself during sleep, but it may be
induce d by emotion or physical exertion,
especially 10y rapid climbing, or it may
come from exposure to a cold draught
or to wind. Men are more subject to
it than women, "in- the ratio of eleven
to one" says one authority. Excessive
smokers of tobacco are said to be sub
ject to 1t, but it should be remembered
that 1t was a well known disease before
tobacco was known to Christendom.
Literary men and men Of sedentary
habits are often killed by it, and two
or three noted New York lawyers have
died of 1t recently. 1t does not result
from bad habits So much as from bad
air and lack Of exercise. -Ne7o York

An Inevitable Conflict Pending.

Today, as y 'sterday, as tomorrow, and
as for long time to come, the situation
of France and Germany forms the great
subject of anxiety which is imposed
upon the meditation Of all European
statesmen At no other point is it fore
seen that war can break out. Russia has
great ambitions and Italy has strong de-
sires, but Russia is for years doomed
merely to cherish ambitions, for she can
not realize them single handed, and it
does not depend upon her to provoke
general war, which would be one result
of her combined action with France;
while as for Italy, she will never venture
to give the signal Of war, for if she did
she would be left to herself and would
be speedily crushed. 1t could be solely
as the result of general war that Italy
could obtain her share, and in the pres
ent state Of her alliances she could take
that share only from France, so that a
general war alone could procure it for
her, inasmuch as, if she were left single
handed, she would not be able to over
come France.
Neither Austria nor England dreams
of war. 1t is therefore still, as twenty
years ago, France and Germany who
could occasion war; because, whatever
may be alleged, whatever may be pro-
claimed or whatever may be concealed,
these two nations desire war-war, first
for its own sake, and next for the rest;
and if, in order to have done with this
everlasting Franco-German nightmare,
Europe could now promise to fold her
arms, and afterward to intervene merely
as arbiter, war would break out to-mor-
row between France and Germany, for
the fatality of war haunts and overrides
both nations. DE Blowitz in Harper's

A Complicated Lawguit.

If the besetting sin Of the Singhalese
is their inordinate love of litigation, this
certainly is fostered by their very
troublesome law of inheritance, which
results in such minute subdivisions of
property that the one hundred and nine
ty-ninth share of a field, or the fitch
OF asmall garden, Containing, perhaps,
a dozen palms and few plantains), | =
come a fruitful source of legal cont, e
ton, of quarrels and of crime. Emers /
Tenant mentions case in which the
claim was for the two thousand five
hundred and twentieth share in the pro-
duce of ten cocoa palms.
To illustrate this sort of litigation the
Rev. R. Spence Hardy quoted an intri-
cate claim on disputed property, in which
the case of the plaintiff was as follows:
"By inheritance through my father | am
entitled to one-fourth of one-third of
one-eighth. Through my mother / am
further entitled to one-fourth of one
third of one eighth. By purchase from
one set of co-heirs | am entitled to one
nlnety-ninth; from another set also one
ninety-ninth, and from a third one
ninety-ninth more. Finally, from a
fourth set of co-heirs | have purchased
one one hundred and forty-fourth of the
whole" There is a nice question to
solve ere landowner can begin to till
his field OF reap its produce!-National
Review.

"Onions Boiled in Molasses."

George Washington, while attending
a swell reception at Newport, noticed
that the daughter of his host, Miss
Ellery, was suffering from severe sore
throat and could not speak above a
whisper. General Washington, observ-
ing this embarrassment of his youthful
hostess, said to her:
"Miss Ellery, you seem to be suffering
very much; what is the natter"
Miss Ellery told him the cause of her
trouble, upon which the general said to
her:
81 suffer very frequently from a sore
throat and take a remedy which | find
very useful, and which | would recon-
mend to you We're not sure you would
not take it,
But ! am sure, replied Miss Ellery,
"that | would take any remedy that
General Washington would propose.
"Well, then" said the general, "it is
this-onions boiled in molasses. 1t has
cured me often"
Miss Ellery took the remedy and, of
course, was cured. Exchange

Cement Stronger Than Stone.

From number of careful tests made
to ascertain the precise strength of an
Choir bolts set in Portland cement in the
ordinary way, the fact appeared that the
joint was really stronger than the stone.
In this demonstration Pinch iron rods
were set into the stones some III inches,
and then subjected to the test The first
rod had screw thread to improve the
grip of the cement, and the cement be-
gan to yield at load of $4,000 pounds,
the breaking of the stone taking place at
10000 pounds. With plain, smooth
rod it was found that the cement began
to yield at load of $4,000 pounds, but

Il smooth rod might be made to break
the rod. New York Sun.
