Two Conrincinr Ranuons.

Lord Peterborough, who lived in tn,
reign of Queen Anne, was very frolic
some, and one day seeing from his car
riage dancing master with pearl col
ored stockings lightly stepping over tn,
broad stones and picking his way in ex
tremely dirty weather he alighted and
ran after him with drawn sword in or.
der to drive him into the mud, but into
which he of course followed himself.
This nobleman was once taken for the
Duke of Marlborough and was mobbed
in consequence. The duke was then in
disgrace with the people, and Lord Pc
terborough was about to, be roughly
handled. Turning to them, he said:
Gentlemen, l can convince you by
two reasons that | am not the Duke of
Marlborough. In the first place, | have
only 3 guineas in my pocket, and in the
second they are heartily at your sery-
ice. '-Sala's Journal. -.

A workman in the senate barber shop
IN washington is credited with saying
that the senator's are 1.-THE most peace
ful,' men to shave he has ever met,
though some of them are particular.
One senator, he says, he has twice shay
ed three times in one day, not because
his beard grows 80 fast, but because the
senator likes the sensation. Another
senator has pair of little side WINS
kers of which he is fond and to which
he deyotes any amount Of attention. "
He did not reveal all this to any sena-

was communicated he said with de.

DIR. A. Symons Eccles he's struck the
keynote of radical Improvement in the
general health of city communities
! when he says that the most potent fac
tor of present day ailments is tic ahey-
ance into which the muscular system is
allowed to fail by dwellers in cities,
who are daily becoming moro and moro

deavors to overcome tho mischief
wrought by his sedentary life by horse

man, WHO'S unable to afford these recre-
atoms, neglects his muscular develop,

train or mounts his street ear rather
than waste the time necessary fer a
brisk walk or half hour in taa gym

The popularity of the bicycle has
tended to counterfeit the disuse of mus
Giles engendered in large proportion of
town residents, but there are still num-
bers of persons of both sexes who re-
quire vigorous muscular exercise in or
der to maintain health. Women are
the victims of modern, social and COM
mercial changes almost if not quite as
much as men. The Capitalization of
many domestic industries may have i'm
proved the character of the products
thus manufactured or of the work per-
formed, but when bread was made and
washing was done at home the female
members of many families fairly well
off, but not too richly endowed with
this worlds goods, were proftably en-
ployed in kneading the dough and iron

this general Discrimination to take the
amount of exercise essential to health
is the revival of practice which is re-
corded in the earliest med ical papyrus
In the British museum.
The introduction of massage may be
regarded as specific evidence of the ten
dency in these latter days to the neglect
of muscular exercise, and DR.. Eccles
holds that if it be true that the abey-
ance of function in certain glands is
productive of diseases which can be
cured by the injection of organic l1q-

and modern research has esth blished this |
belief-much more is it evidently true
that the failure to employ the great bulk !
Of muscular tissue, which is so large a
portion OF the human frame, will, and
invariably does, give rise to disordered
function and altered structure in the
other organs and tissues OF The body, /
which are interdependent on the ac6iy-

Five Cent Lodging Houses Where Chair

Five Cent Lodging Houses Where Chairs
| -'- Take the Place of Beds.
Finding lodging place for the night
when one has but cents-an ordinary
street car fare nickel-is no easy Job.
Lodging houses where the beds rent for
10 cents hold as grimly to tariff prices
as coal combine in arctic weather
would do. 1t is a case of fiat money
with those people. If they had 500 beds
and but five dodgers, the sixth could not
get an abatement, even though his flesh
were dropping from his bones with
frost. mo pay, no bed," is the motto,
and they stick to it.
Nowadays dimes are being WITH
drawn from circulation. At least the
people who are forced into begging
them report that to be the state of the
money market. Two nickles make a
dime, it is true, and so do 10 pennies,
but there seems to be bear movement
In small coins, and this form of cur
rency also is hard to get, especially SO
for those who either can't, don't or
won't work for it.
AS matter of fact there are many
hundred persons in Chicago every night
who cannot purchase lodging for lack
OF means and who stay out so late that
access to the station houses is denied
because they are already overcrowded.
These people will then sleep anywhere.
All they want is cover from the night.
That can be had in Chicago for 8
cents. But the lowest tramp, if for
tune favored him with dime. would
shrink with horror from lodging in
such a place. There are one or two
places of the kind in Chicago, and they
are hard to find. When found, they are
the very apotheosis of degradation, dirt
and dinginess. Beside the 8 cent places
those where admittance is a dime are
palaces. For 3 cents the ledger is al .

in the early hours of business to advance
prices on advIces from Washington that
the prospect for the passage of tariff
bill had improved. and the general list
did improve fractionally, but the advance
failed to hold because of the discourage

The complexion of the Town Council
is changed from Republican to Demo-

were not properly marked and were not

TOO MANY NAMES.
The error consisted in leaving more than
nine names on the ticket. The Republicans
claim that a large majority OF these tick
cts were voted by illiterate men, and are
inclined to lay the blame on the special
constable. They did probably lose the
greater part OF these defective tickets, but
