Taking A TcIcnhnnc tn Bed.

A doctors profession requires him, if he seeks convenience and comfort, to have two tclcphoncs-one in his office and one in his bedroom. As any one who has to pay tribute to the telephone companies knows, their charges hardly represent the progress that has been made i'll other lines ill the world ill cheapening commodities. But necessity is the mother of invention, and n doc tor ill the cast end found n way tC have the convenience of two telephones and yet only pay for one He has his telephone hung upon hooks ill his office, the connections being made by the tclc. phone coming ill contact with an cleo. tric board which he has had constructed. He also has wires run to his pedro un, where another electric board has been placed The doctor may bo said to take his telephone to bed with him every night. He takes it from the hooks in his office, carries it under his arm up to his bedroom and places 1t upon the hooks there. Should any calls come during the night, he can answer them without leaving his room, thereby getting the uso of two telephones for tho price oi one -Pittshurg Dispatch.

NOT SEASICK.
The Young Man Declared the Lemons wer,
 to Blame.

It was rough out on the lake yesterday. A great many people will testify to that. Seasickncss was epidemic on the cxcur- sion loats. That also is a fact that can be proved. And on one of tho boats thcre was q young man who was tall and thin and consumptive looking. He sat away up in the bow of the boat and let the breeze blow through his hair and fan his pallid brow. When the big waves began to get in their full and deadly work on tho boat, he felt strange qualms at the pit of his stomach and turned to his ncighbor and said, Say, Is n fcller liable to get seasick on tSis hero boatf"
 Quite SO" replied his neighbor.
 Any way to stop it?''
 Two heard that T. ou cat a lemon you will not be bothcrc!. I'm never scasick Pysclf and don't know from actual expe- rience-"
 The tall young man roSo and walked unstcadily to tho little coop whcrc the lemons arc sold. He bought two. His face was very pale when he got back to his chair, but he held out manfully. He cut t4le top of one of his lemons and slowed 1t away in skort order, eating 1t down as if it had been an apple. Then he tackled the other lemon and put that out of sight expeditiousIy. Tho boat widowed on, and the number of sufferers increased. In 20 WSIc NOTy It" ptOpIc ing the trip who did not wish they hadn t come.
 The tall young man evidently felt bet ter. He leaned back in his chair and vcn- turcd 0 smile ut the agony of n fat woman who was leaning against n post. Sudden ly he sat up straight, and n startled look came into his face. He shuddcred cou- pie of times, and then he said 'Wow!" loudly. The startled look in his face re- mained in evidence. The tall young man grasped wildly at the bottom of his vest and rose to his feet. He said, "Oh! Wow! Aw-w.wI'' and rushed for the companion- | way. Tho fat woman leaning against the post was not too sick to smile herself. The tall young man reached the top of | the stairs. There he fell down and wound himself all up in his legs. A couple of men tried to help him to his feet. ''GimmG | some brandy" he moancd.
 Brandy" inquired ono of tho men.
 "Thats the worst thing in the world tC
 take when you are scasick."
 The tall man unfoldcd one of his legs.
 "Scasick!' he said between grOans. 'Whc in blazcs is scasick? Those lemons I ate

Loud Grief Expcnds Itself.

''Thc person whose grief is manifested in violent paroxysms k fOrtunatc," said Dr. l.. J. Wilton. II have never known a case where there were loud cries, vail ing and moaning that did not soon rccuvcr completely. One of the first patients l ever had was q young man who had met with an accident. He died within an hour. and the grief of his young widow was most distressing to thosc present. It was with the greatest difficulty that we could restrain her from throwing herself upon his coffin in the grave, but in two months she was married again and seemed to bc perfectly happy. Grief that cannot bc thrown of by outward manifestations Is what tells. ''-Cincinnati Enquircr.

 Lynch Makes the Players Respect Him.

That is the qucs- ton which goes up from more or less lips at every game as the ncrvy hero who in tcrprets balls, strikes and base decisions takes n ball and his life in his hands and walks to the plate 10 defy fate. Kill the umpire!' is often the sequential cxclama- tion bcforc he gets through with his after noon's work. No better test of mans bravery can be made than to ask him to umpire National league games. If he ac- cepts. you may put him down as a mod crn Lcandcr, n William Tell or an Arnold WinEclricd. So soon as he accepts his commission from President Young he be comes the official enemy of the baseball cranks in every League city. He is ripe to be called a thief, a rObbCr, a thug and a bandyleggCd blackguard- To abuse the umpire is one of the delightfully."- sweet privileges in a baseball crank's life. No umpire, and one of the most attractive featurcs of a ball game would be gone.
