II once had a patient said Roch-

II was never a burning and shining

hence it is not surprising that the case

knowing that four eminent physicians
who were called in for consultation at

who had no other companion but an
ignorant, though faithful, colored at
tendant, finally died before reaching
her thirtieth year.
Subsequent investigation proved
that she was vinegar fiend, and that,
while refusing food of every descrip-
ton, she was drinking large quantities
of vinegar. AS the habit grew upon
her she secured stronger grades, until
finally she was drinking acetic acid
but very slightly diluted. There are
cases on record of persons who have
been poisoned by overdoses of vinegar,
taken to improve the complexion, but
this is the only case ever heard of
anyone acquiring vinegar habit and
pursuing it steadily until it caused
death"

Now York Man Who Tells the Tempera-
ture by Tasting the Atmosphere.
There is man in New York who is
an expert weather sampler, and just
as the tea expert tastes his brands to
appraise them, so this man tastes the
weather. He will at any time of the
day, or at any place, SO long as it is in
the open air, taste the atmosphere and
tell you what the temperature is. He
never gets more than two degrees
away and seldom more than one The
other day, says the Tribune, a friend
played joke on him by using a Their
mometer which was not in working
order. The sampler, after tasting the
weather, said that it was thirty-one
degrees above zero. The thermometer
said it was thirty seven, but the ex-
pert would not be convinced that he
could be wrong. Heinsisted that they
walk along until they found another
Thermometer. They found it and it
registered thirty-one degrees.

The Stomach Not Easily Detbroned When
81: Once 1t Obtains Mastery.

The Stomach Not Easily Dethroned When
Once It Obtains Mastery.
One of the greatest misfortune that
can happen to man in his earthly ca
| reer is to discover that he has stom-
ach. He may know it theoretically or
recollect the lessons in physiology Of
his schoolboy days, but according to
the San Francisco Chronicle, when no
finds out by actual, personal expert
ence that he has stomach he is to be
pitied. The whole science of gastrono-
my-and it is science-has been de-
vised and perfected for the benefit of
the men who have made this discovery.
All the studies of the whole glittering
nary triumphs of the great restaurants
in the capitals of the world, are due to
the simple fact that men have found
out that they have stomachs. and that
that organ, when once discovered,
must be petted and fattered and
soothed and kept in good humor to
prevent it's revolving and creating rev.
olution and civil war. 1t is safe to say
that the primitive man never knew
that he had a stomach. It has been
reserved for civilization to make the
discovery, and it is by no means fore
gone conclusion that civilization
should pride itself upon having done so.
The maxim that one never enjoys
good dinner until after it has been
eaten is refinement of modern and
degenerate days, containing much
sound philosophy from certain
standpoint, but that standpoint is
fictitious and mistaken one. There is
no natural reason why dinner good
Or bad, should be enjoyed. The one
object of eating is to satisfy hunger,
and that being done, the dinner
should be forgotten. 1t is only the i'm
perious and arbitrary stomach which
insists upon fur@ss>er recognition of
it's claims, and it is only human weak
ness which submits to it's demand. A
modern philosopher, in terse though
inelegant diction, has laid down this
maxim, which is almost idiomatic:
s'You must down your stomach or
your stomach will down you" There
is more in this than will meet the eye
of the casual reader. The stomach may,
as certain Of the ancients believed be
the real seat Of the emotions, passions
and affections, but we make a great
mistake if we subordinate the ego to
single organ, and especially to one
which is'only too!readytolpresume upon
the favor shown it and the license
given it, Healthy children know moth
ing about their stomachs, except that
they ache sometimes if called on to do
double duty, and there is nothing so
healthy and happy in the world as a
healthy child. If children of a larger
growth could but ignore the gastric
organ O.: forget it, dyspepsia would be-
come lost disease, and all the evils
that follow in it's train would disap-
near.

Destitution in England.

Thirty-one persons died of actual
starvation in London during last year,
eight infants and twenty-three adults.
Not one of the unfortunate persons
had ever applied to the parish authori-
ties for relief, and in only one case had
the deceased person been at any time
the inmate of poorhouse or hospital.
All were people Of unquestioned re-
spectability, vino had come upon hard
times and whose pride and horror of
accepting public aims overcame the

found after awhile that the bikes may
be removed considerably out toward

Of arabic land have been gained at

such work. and there are many quar-

apart, yet they are connected by the
most wonderful canal in the world. A
tunnel has been cut through the great
vein Of coal which underlies the whole
Of Lancashire, and this, filed with
water from the drainage trenches Of
that great system Of mines, makes q
remarkable underground canal, in
which the water is constantly Ave feet

Electricity Will DO the Work, But Not

The hair Of man is gradually disap-
pearing before the march of civiliza-
ton, says the New York Sun. Nature,
who is an economical dame, has grad
ually removed the hair from the top of
the. head where it is no longer useful.
Still, kindly intentioned, decorative
fringe is left for ornament. Man him
self would gladly have compromised
with nature, and ba1tered some of the
growth on his face for few handfuls
of hair on his head. Nature, however,
knew the value of shaving as discip-
line and refused to interfere. Now, it
appears, man sees the way to estab-
ish permanently clean face for him
self. No more early rising for ma
tutinal shave Or dallying in barber
shops awaiting turn. The method
is simple but expensive. 1t is done
with the electric needle-at a cost of
about three dollars hair, decline
from the first rates. The operation
takes time. Owing to the strain on
the operators eyes, the removal can be
done only in patches unless relay of
physicians can be provided. The oper-
alton is painless, as the ground has
been prepared by cocaine. With the
later improvements in electric lights
and magnifying mirrors the time may
come that a man will eradicate the
brambles of his face as easily as
farmer mows down a hedge row. A
Roman youth used to receive his toga
virilis the day Of his first shave. The
occasion was a fete. Cornelia, Lesbia,
Flavia and the rest had been hem
stitching and Misunderstanding his toga
in secret moments for weeks before.
In the new day the occasion will doubt
less be the same. The girls, having
saved their pocket money, will have
ready an electric needle, ivory mounted
or in repousse silver, with monogram,
when the youths first growth is suffi-
GENTLY sighted for removal. Thus far
it is easy to predist an aristocracy Of
smooth faces. Even at wholesale rates
the effacement of the beard is bound
for long time to be beyond the reach
OF the multitude. This Of itself is Ger
tain to make smooth faces fashionable.

The Sultan of Turkey Receives Visitors II

Simple Style and Lights Their Cigarettes.
The correspondent of an English pa
per was recently accorded an interview
by the sultan of Turkey, and was sur
prised at the noticeable lack Of cere-
mony with which he was received.
When the newspaper man entered the
royal presence he found his majesty
standing ready to receive him. The
descendant of Mahomet II. and of
Selim had no rich tlrbans, no jeweled
robes, no ornaments, nothing that dis
tinguishes princes from ordinary peo-
pie in the east. except the true orna~
ments of the noble and well born, po-
lite bearing and refined expression.
He appeared perfect European
prince, it anything potter and simpler
than ordinary men. His majesty has
even cast off the aigrette which his
predecessors wore with the fez. There
were no intricate ceremonies to be
gone through as at the reception of the
great mogul or at other eastern courts.
There were no attendants present as
are invariably to be seen in the private
rooms of eastern princes. Sentiment
and tradition" says the correspon-
dent, compelled me to do homage to
the caliph like an oriental, with a
bow. AS soon as the formality was
gone through his majesty shook hands,
took his seat and desired me to be
seated. The sultan was dressed plain
~, wearing no orders, stars or decora-
lions of any kind. He is very fair, has
a round head plentifully covered with
grizzly gray hair. and possesses strik-
ing features The interview was of
the most chatty and friendly charac-
ter, the sultan showing marked &C
quaintance with literature, especially
that of the east, and his information
on general subjects is extensive.
When the correspondent arose to take
his leave the Turkish ruler put his
hand on the visitors head and gave
him by that act the caliphal blessing.
With the nultifarious duties that
he has to perform his majesty prays,
according to the Mohammedan Gus
tom, five times day with the regular
ity of clock. He fasts for thirty
days during the month of the Rama
dhan. He abstains from all kinds of
alcoholic beverages and from gamb-
ling. He atronizes religious and
moral institutions not only among his
own people but among all the Moham-
medans of the world. Moreover, he
does not confne his charity to the poor
and needy of his own religion, but, .ac-
cording to the dictates of the Koran,
he helps the deserving irrespective of
their religious beliefs. He allows toll
GRAFTON to the highest degree, and is |
himself anything but bigot. He
is great patron Of learning Of all
kinds.
