4 New Device.

A new device Of the jeweller is hid'
den spring, by means of which a ring
may be made larger or smaller, as
may be required. 1t Is to be feared this
will encourage the young man who has
the engagement habit, since the same
ring can be made to fit any sized finger.
However, the newly engaged girl can
always take her engagement ring to
reliable jeweller and learn whether 1t IS
furnished with an adjustable spring. and
II so she can exercise her discretion
about wearing it.

Heavy Drinking Is Harmful.

People drink too much at table. Ma
ture supplies gastric juices in sufficient
quantity to dissolve the food. A swal-
low of water will cool the mouth and
throat as thoroughly as a gobletful.
Heavy drinking of ice-water chills the
stomach, paralyzes digestion for the in
slant, and weakens the saliva. Doctors
say only drink enough at table to avoid
the hiccoughs. Wineglasses are very
small; so are after-dinner coffee cups
two significant facts.

To the Editor:
As you are always willing to uphold a good
cause and to help downtrodden laborers. would
you kindly direct your batteries against the
system of fines which Is enforced by the Broad
way cable road against its conductors For the
most ridiculous and trivial ofsnses the poor fell
lows are laid on for a day or even four days
and many times the sentence imposed by the
heartless oficials is even ssverer. No other road
In this city treats Its employees SO harshly.
No respectable or honest man support him
self properly with the system now In vogue.
Send your reporters to interview the men with
out mentioning names (else they are liable 10
discharge) and you will be amazed at the heart
lessness and brutality OF the entire system.

Mr. "Sceptic," do people live in tenements be-

several families breeding disease and sin in one
