Very Sensitive Sick Man.

Supersensitiveness is quality which
often subjects those possessing it-per-
haps the phrase "a victim to it" better
expresses the idea--to a great deal OF
MISUNDERSTANDING endured simply be-
cause peculiar sensitiveness in some
one direction prevents the utilizing Of
means directly at hand to prevent that
suffering. A resident of Lansdowne,
who may properly be said to be SUPER
sensitive, when taken sick recently, for
q long time refused to have physician
sent for. When pressed for reason, he
at length explained by saying, well,
you see, it's been so long since / was
sick that I'm ashamed to look ply
stefan in the face. "-Philadelphia Call.

And knew the bliss he neer had seen before.
He scarce had entered in the garden fair,
Another Hindoo asked admission there.

NATAL AUTOGRAPHS.
The Sign Manual of the Child That Does
Not Change In Life.

The Sign Manual of the Child That Does
Not Change In Life.
There is born with every one of us
and continues unchanged during our
lives an unfailing and ineradicable mark
or marks, which absolutely distinguish
each one of us from every other fellow
being. These physical marks never
change from the cradle to the grave.
This born autograph is impossible to
counterfeit, and there is no duplicate of
it among the teeming pillows in the
world Look at the insides of your
hands aud the soles of your feet; closely
examine the ends of your fingers. You
see circles and curves and arches and
whorls, some prominent with deep cor
rugations, others minute and delicate,
but all we'll defined and closely traced
pattern. There is your physiological
signature.
Run your hands through your hair
and press finger nails on piece of clear
glass. You see all the delicate tracing
transferred-not two fingers alike; even
"the left hand knoweth not what the
right hand doeth.'' They are distinctly
different. Even twins may be so little
different in size, features and general
physical condition as to be scarcely dis
tinguishable, yet their finger autographs
are radically different
In fact, in all humanity every being
carries with him on his baby fingers and
his wrinkled hand of decrepit old age
the identical curves, arches and circles
that were born with him. Nothing ex-
cept dismemberment can obliterate or
disguise them. Criminals may burn and
scar their hands, but nature, when she
restores the cuticle, invariably brings
back the natal autograph. louisville

but she nerved herself to the effort.
''No, Mr.. Smith, she said gayly, 81

thing on the subject, and cannot think
of leaving you here alone. You must
let me make you comfortable. l know
that after your journey you would like

knew how more than annoyed she was
at the thought of his possible questions.

She was SO elated that she went to
the piano and sang for half an hour,
She was startled by hearing some one
come rushing into the room behind her.
She wheeled ON the stool and encoun-
tered the gaze of Mr. Smith, who stood
before her, looking decidedly uneasy.

Mrs. Botkine,' he said, but l wished
to thank you for your kindness and to

''Why, Mr. SMITH she began, but
he waved his hand alphabetically and
continued:
II am very sorry not to have found
Professor Botkine but perhaps l can
come again. There is just time for me
to catch the o'clock train "
For moment she felt stunned. Then
a food of questions poured through her
mind. Was the man insane, or what
had she done to offend him? What was
there in science to turn an apparently
''nice" young man into such distract
savage? The rest of the day seemed end
less, but at last she described Professor
Botkine and with him rather desic

senator CockreIIs Memory.

Senator Coclzrell of Missouri especial
" prides himself upon never forgetting
name or face, and SO marked is this
trait that his friends say he can visit
the house OF any of his constituents aft
en- an unlimited absence and speak to
each member Of the family by name.
But no man is infallible, and this SEN
ator Coclrell discovered ON accosting
one of his constituents while at home
recently, whose name he tried by every
means possible to remember, but unsuc-
cessfully. Finally he hit upon what he
considered solution of the difficulty,
and under the guise of taking the con-
stituent's name down for the purpose Of
sending him some documents he asked
him to spell it. He YVES almost staggered
when he received the reply, "J-o-n-e-s. :"
"Oh,n said the senator, 81 mean your
first name"
Then again came another stagger when
the constituent replied, "W-i-l-li-a-m. !"
The senator is not just at the present
time Dragging about his wonderful
memory. Washington News.

Cinnamon and Cholera.

A decoction of cinnamon is recon-
mended as a drink to be taken freely in
localities where there is typhoid fever
or cholera, for cinnamon has the power
to destroy all infectious microbes. Even
its scent kills them, while it is perfectly
harmless to human beings 1t is said
that the essence of cinnamon, when ex-
posed in the sickroom, will kill typhoid
bacilli in 10 hours and prevent fresh
cases. Kansas City Times.

4 Nan With a Slow Henri.

It is generally supposed that when a
mans heart pulsation goes down TO forty a
minute death will soon follow unless re-
storatives are applied, says a Benton Har-
Dor, Mich, dispatch to the Chicago Inter
Ocean. Thomas Lyons of Benton Harbor,
is a notable exception.
He is fifty-siN years old, of dropsical ten
dency and weighs 200 pounds. He was
taken with dizzy spells about two years
ago. His pulse ran down to sixty, and
everybody thought he was going % die.
When physicians came from Chicago they
found him with a forty-a-rninute pulse,
which soon sank to thirty-siX and thirty
four There seemed to be no hope for
Lyons, who arranged his temporal affairs
and prepared for the worst Electrical cur
rents were applied. but the pulse only sank
lower reaching thirty. All sorts of restora-
tives were applied. They seemed To have
the opposite effect. Further down sank the
pulse to twenty-eight, twenJy-four, twenty
two, twenty-one. twenty, even to eighteen,
and yet all this time MIR. Lyons was, TO
all appearances, strong and well.
For over a year now he has been in this
condition. his pulse wayering between
at work almost every day in his shop. He
said today that he expected To live several
minutes after he is dead. from the fat
that his heart is getting SO slow that its
work will be done before he is notified.

iEgs This was in one of the coolest parts
of Manitoba, where 1 was entertained by
family which had retained its love for mild
er regions and crops The bill of fare was
necessarily meager, but some of the vege-
tables were so bright and green that could
not help asking how they were preserved
so well. To my surprise l learned that they
were cultivated in a garden patch or
miniature farm, the soil of which had been
brought from warmer regions 50 as to in
sure a fertility not found in the region of
ice. The vegetables themselves had been
grown from imported seed, and owing to
the care and protection they had had, they
were a perfect luxury. The expense of
conveying the soil in barrels such a long
distance would prevent any but compare
lively wealthy people from trying the ex-
pertinent, but my friends had made it a
hobby. The only other case of earth-im-
porting that l have met with is that done
by the shah of Persia. The traditions of
his country prevent his treading on foreign
soil, and when he makes a trip in foreign
nations his attendants carry a supply of
Persian soil, some of which is placed in his
shoes, a practice which accounts for the
great Inconvenience walking always APP
