New Cure for Pneumonia.
From the New York Herald.l

The imagination Is probably more potent factor in our everyday life than most people would be willing to admit. The other day a man over on the west side complained to the wife of his bosom of feeling dreadfully sharp pains shooting him between the shoulders and through the chest. She ridiculed him, for he was a man who never gets sick, and has no sympathy with complaining people.
 T shouldn't wonder if you had the pneumonia" said she. And 1t would serve you right-staying out every night of your life after one o'clock in the morning"
 "No doubt, but the responsibility of being widow within three days seems to please you. Don't count your chick ems before they are matched, my dear. I'm not dying yet"
 But pneumonia is nearly always fa- tal," she remarked pleasantly. of course I would give you the regulation allowance of silver handles, flowers, etc. I always thought plain plate, with name, dates of birth and death are about the correct things. I saw a nice secondhand one in a window that might be altered very easily"
 But. he was so mad by this time that he missed the quiet laugh that followed him down stairs. The more he thought, about it, however, the more he felt convinced that he had pneumonia. He stopped in drug store down town, and the druggist said it was indiges- ton. Then he got about dollars worth of patent medicine and lay down in his back office and took it all day. He felt worse. He stopped at his doc tors on the way home, and was exam ined for pneumonia, After being thumped and sounded for half an hour he was told by the doctor that his lungs were all right, for which he paid five dollars. He got a prescription for a cold, went home, and, lying down, went to sleep and forgot to take 1t. The next morning he was all right
 'I knew I'd cure yeu," said his wife.

A Queer Sect That Flourishes in the Pa-

 The Indians of Aberdeen county, Washington, have just closed a reli- gious revival. and have left for Pacific county, where they will endeavor to re- kindle religious spirit among the tribes there Their religion is very unique, strikingly original, and dis tinctly Indian. It ia known as the Shaker religion, according to a cores. pendent in the New York World. It Il said that it first originated in the Sound country. among the Mud Bay Indians.
 The story is that one of the tribe
 John slocum. was taken sick and grad ually wasted away and died. Preparas tions were made for his funeral but John surprised his friends by coming to life again the day the funeral wal to be held. He stated that he had gone to heaven, but that he wasstold Ito go back to earth again and help his people; that they were very YickAd, and that he must help them.

PROMISING IDEA.
lars.

Dr. Sargent, the director of the Hem enway gymnasium at Harvard. makes the statement that the students do not at the present time make sufficient use of the appointments for physical exercise in the university. There are over three thousand students at Cam bridge, and while the football eleven and a large number of others submit to regular training under his direction, large proportion have nothing to do no effort to bring up their physical strength so that they may be equipped on graduation to take hold of the duties of life and become strong and vigorous persons. What he suggests is that the course in the gymnasium should take the rank of one of the university studies, and that it shall enter into the qualifications for taking a degree. This would at once increase the im- portance of physical training in the es- tlmate of the undergraduates, and would put the superb facilities of the university to a proper test.
 Dr. sargent's idea is both commend able and timely. It has been abundant ly shown after long and patient trial that Harvard Is failure in concentrat- ed athletics Her strong and swift ones fall before the strong and swift ones of Yale even as the ripe wheat falls before the reaper. She should stop trying to concentrate her strength and swiftness in few and should make every un- dergraduate son of hers as athletic as possible. When she has done this she should challenge all Yale to a general trial of strength, and 1t is barely pos sible that in such a contest she might win. It is certain that she can never lick Yale by sections and every effort to do so will only bring more humiliation and discouragement.

Gambling Syst 6 ms.

"This little place has been built on systems was the sententious remark of the founder of Monte Carlo, M. Blanc, when questioned as to his faith in their efficacy. It Is also told of this same excellent authority that he was once tempted to give g trial to 8 system which, like many such, had been en- toying a temporary run of luck. When he had lost 60,0O0f. in attempting to win sufficient to purchase Mime. Blanc a parasol, the old gentleman expressed his readiness to sleep placidly for the rest of his life, no matter how many sys- tematicians might plot his ruin.
 These and a thousand other equally authoritative guarantees as to the impregnability of the bank at Monte Carlo are well known to probably every man who has devoted any thought to the subject. But to all of them the vic-

 He Was Once Under Arrest tor His In- competency.
 The various absences of Bonaparte from his regiment up to this time are antagonistic to our modern ideas of military duty The subsequent ones seem simply ,inexplicable, even in a ser vice so lax as that of the crumbling Bourbon dynasty. He did not reach Auxonne, where the artillery regiment La Fere was now stationed, until the end of May, 17S8. He stayed with it less than year and a half, and then sence, from September 10th, 17S9, to February 1791, which he fully intended should end his final retirement from the French service The incidents of his second term of garrison life are not numerous, but their very absence seems significant in the development of Bonaparte's character. He returned at once to his habits of reading, study, re- f1ection and comment. His last disap- pointment had rendered him more tac- turn and misanthropic than ever. Charged with the oversight of some slight work on the Notifications, he displayed such incompetence that he was actually punished by a short ar- rest. Misfortune still pursued the fam ily The youth who had been appoint ed to Brienne when Louis was expect- ing scholarship suddenly died. Mime. de Bonaparte was true to the family tradition, and immediately forwarded petition for the place, but was, as be- rore, unsuccessful. Lucien was not yet admitted to Ak; Joseph was a barris- ter, to be sure, but briefiess. Napoleon once again, but for the last time-and with marked impatience, even with im- pertinence-took up the task of solici- tation. The only result was a good humored, non-committal reply. Mean time the first mutterings of the revo- lutionary outbreak were heard, and spasmodic disorders, trifiing but por- tentious, were recurring not only among the people, but even among the royal troops One of these, at Seurre, was occasioned by the news that the hated and notorious syndicate existing under the scandalous agreement with
 the king, known as the Bargain of Famine" had been making additional purchases of grain from two merchants of that town. This was in April, 1789.
 Bonaparte was put in command of a company, and sent to aid in suppress ing the riot which ensued. But 1t was ended before he arrived: on May he returned to AuxonI1e.

UP IN 1 BALLOON.
The Lofty Political Altitude of Lord Sal
 isbury.

The Lofty Political Altitude of Lord Sal isbury.
 The House of Lords was once de-
 scribed by Mir. Gladstone as living in
 a balloon. says the London News.
 Lord Salisbury seems to have a private
 balloon of his own. which soars be-
 yond sight of this dim spot which men call earth. In a speech at Edinburgh the other day he had a burden. and the
 burden of his speech was "the south and west of Ireland" Everything. he said, was carried in the House of Com mons by votes from the south and west of Ireland. If this childish and ridiculous test were applied to the fa- nous English majority" 1t would prove that England was dragged at the tail of few counties to the south of London. Lord Salisbury has. how ever, no Idea that there is any sub ject on which the north and east of Ireland agree with the south and west.
 MT. T. W. Russell, who sat on Mir. Morley's committee, and steadily voted with the nationalists. has been speak, ing his mind In Ireland with remarka- ble plainness. even for him. After re- pudiating the strange delusion that he or anybody else acknowledged Colonel Saunderson as a leader, Mir. Russell de- clared that 1t was the duty of Ulster members to strengthen Mr. Morley's hands. MT. Russell has odd ways of strengthening peoples hands. He Is n plnNtaI t,, aaaiofinu Mir the Tory candidate for Forfarshire, whose return would certainly not i'm prove the prospects of the Irish land bill. But Forfarshire Is a long distance from Tyrone, and MT. Russell is @ yer satile politician.
 The Parnellites are not engaged in strengthening MT. Morley's hands They do not seem to care much for the wrongs of the Irish tenant, and possl- ply the Irish tenant does not very much care for them. But, if the Par nellites oppose the land bill, they will not have many Irishmen, of whatever persuasion, with them in the lobby They would not, we imagine, be sup ported by Lord Arthur Hill. Lord Ar thur Hill, one of the Tory whips, Is a genial and popular gentleman, who, In 1892, was returned without opposition for West Down. West Down is be- lieved to be one of the safest Tory seats in Ulster. But Lord Arthur Hill has had great trouble in explaining to his constituents why he voted against the land bill of Mr. Kilbride, the na- tonalist member for South Kerry very far-reaching measure, which was dropped on the appointment of MT Morley's committee. It is all very we'll and fine to sheer at "the south and west of Ireland" but this time the tenant farmers of Ulster, about whom Lord Salisbury knows a good deal. less than he knows about red Indians will not see the joke.

THE LEWIS MEMORIAL,

State Attorney Doolittle has deter mined to legally test the right of the County commissioners to allow the Lewis memorial to be placed in front of the entrance to the County build ing. He has secured an injunction against the carrying out of the plan and has cited the County commission CTS into the Court of Common Pleas to answer unto him in a civil action wherein he says among other things Said land of the county can only be legally appropriated and used for the site of court house, or other prop CT county building, or for additions thereto for the use of the county and for county purposes, and such contem- plated use of said land for the purpose of said private structure or monument is contrary to law, and said threatened acts of the defendants in the premises are not authorized by law and are an appropriation of the public property of the county for private purposes.
 It is surprising that those who have had the matter in charge have bene SO persistent in their efforts to have the memorial placed in front of the County building, where it would be in the way and inappropriate, but they have. They have paid no attention to the public and private protests against their plan, and have gone right ahead have thus been the means of bringing generous act into unpleasant contro- versy and have provoked a good deal of not very gentle criticism of them selves. Now the matter will be decided by the courts and whatever the decision is there will be more unpleasant feel- ing.
 We don't know what the outcome of the legal contest will be, though it doesn't look to us as if the County commissioners had any right to use the property of the county in the way planned. But we don't see how any, body can take a fair look at the site of the memorial and then honestly say that it is suitable. It is not. There is no room to spare for memorial or anything else there. It as all needed by those who go in and out of the County building. And even if there were room the inappropriateness of the performance would be enough to con- demn 1t. Any memorial of Henry C.. Lewis should be placed on city prop- erty. There is room for it in front of the city hall and there is room for it in any of the parks.

In a paper on hypnotism Dr. James Weir jr., writes that only persons of diseased nerves are favorable subjects for it, and the inference from his arti- cle is that liability to become hypno- tized at all Is a symptom of disease. He concludes with the assertion that the many different agencies by which one person can hypnotize another are utterly devoid of magnetism or any mysterious force.

Some idea of how much money a suc- cessful doctor in England may accumu- late in the course of long life is shown by the sworn statements made to the probate office of the personal property they leave. In the last five years six ty-five doctors have left f3,5O0,0O0, an,
 average of f50, ,00O, or $25O,OOO each. This is in part due to careful investments by Sir William Gull, who was physi- elan in ordinary to the Queen and the Prince of Wales, and when he died, at the age of "A, left a fortune of s1, ,720, 900.

half way to show a "boiled" shirt, the pretty top and collar of fancy waist, or 1t can be snugly closed all the way up, and in case the weather is severe the golf can be worn over. These com bination suits are much in use, women having learned of the advisability of a costume that can be made to suit many occasions and temperatures.
 All this is very we'll for tailor get-ups, but when 1t comes to gowns that abound in dainty expressions and that are as highly wrought as the hand of woman and man, too,-can make them, the sin gle costumes of double uses become scarce. With the dress shown here, for instance, no tricks of interchanging could be managed without sacrificing some of the beauty of the original Let the reader then first consider it as it is, and if it is not entirely pleasing, let modifications of it be planned, rather than devices of juggling with it's com- ponent parts. Green royal armure is its fabric, and it is trimmed most hand somely with violet velvet and with gold, green and violet passementerie. Its bodice has fitted lining and an mi- tated yoke and pointed belt of passe- menterie. The short figaro is of vel vet and has very large armure revers that narrow toward the back.

Where passengers wish their personal baggage taken direct with themselves in a coupe or carriage to a hotel or resi- dence, by making their wish known when the baggage is checked a check strap containing the word Coupe" is attached thereto, insuring such bag gage being so placed in the car as to be first unloaded on arrival at its desti- nation, so that the owner may claim his trunk at once on his arrival, and by taking it with him have it reach his final destinat tion simultaneously with himself. No charge is exacted for the special service.
