Cinoh For Specialists.

IF was to try the race over again, what
would go intor inquired the man on
tho corner in answer to question well,
sir, / would be specialist In medicine
There Is not fairly good one In the coun-
try who Is not overrun with patients
Take the eye doctors, for instance They
are today making it plain 10 the public
that q great part Of our ailments which
were laid to all sorts of causes come d.
rectly from the faulty condition of the
eyes, which thus produce strain on the
system 30 severe that something gives
away. Three Of my nearest friends have
lately made this discovery after looking
for their ailments In every possible quar-
ter. Defective eyes are not only very much
moro general than was formerly supposed,
but they yield to skillful treatment and a
shattered system Is made vigorous by the
process, thus efrecting two remedies at
once. There are not men enough In the

When You Are stronrsst.

Vaughan Harley agrees with DR.. LON
bard in considering that the amount Of
work done by the same set Of muscles at
different times of the day undergoes peri
odical variation. So we may accept as q
fact that there is diurnal rise and fall In
the power of doing voluntary muscular
work In tho same way as there is dur
nal rise and fall in bodily temperature and
pulse. 1t Is remarkable, however, that in
stead Of the greatest amount Of work being
done, as might have been expected, on ris-
ing in the morning after good nights
rest, 1t Is found that at a. IN. the small
est amount of work is accomplished, the
powers Of doing muscular work in DIR.
Harley's case increasing each hour up to
ii a. m.
Immediately after lunch there is a
marked rise, followed an hour later by O
fall, while again an hour later, or about 8
p. m, the amount Of work accomplished
reaches It's maximum. Then from some
unexplained cause there is a notable fall
at p. M, which is succeeded by rise at
6p. M, after which progressive fall
takes place during each successive hour
until dinner. Even during a prolonged
fast more work was capable Of being exc
outed from 1880 q. m. to 4:8O p. m. than
at 8 a m.-Journal of Physiology.

RAlslNs AS FOOD.
The Fruit Contains Four Times as Much Nu-
triment as Meat.

The Fruit Contains Four Times as Much Nu-
triment as Meat.
It has been the custom until very re-
Gently to consider raisins as an article
purely of luxury and deem them only
suited to the tables of those who are able
to indulge themselves in such things as
serve merely to please the palate. In con-
sequence, however, of the marvellous
growth Of the raisin industry in Califor-
MIA and the cheapness Of the product to
the consumer, the question has been raised
whether the raisin does not possess an in
trinsic food value independent of its use as
q luxury, and the argument seems to favor
the affirmative of the proposition.
1t 1t asserted by those who have studied
the question from a scientific and hygiento
standpoint that the nutritive power of
raisins as compared with meat is as four
to one. This, we Ill y, may be taken
with some grains of allowance, but never
theless it Is susceptible Of demonstration
that raisins, like other dried fruits, are
genuine food, contain elements which are
fully as necessary to good health as hbrin,
dextrin and all the rest Of the things
which analytical chemists have discovered
In fascinating and strengthening foods.
Those who have studied the question of
raisins as food profess to have something
like 100 recipes for the preparation of the
raisin, and each of these, 1t Is asserted,
has an economic value. Whether this es-
innate be excessive or not, one thing is
very certain, and that is that the world
would be better off, from the hygienic
point of view, if we were to eat moro fruit
and less meat.
The raisin, which is only the grape dried
In the sun, should be natural food if
there be any such thing. Sugar, which
the dried grape contains in its natural
state, has long been recognized as a genu-
inc food, so much so that manufactured
sugar-that is, sugar extracted from sugar
cane, sugar beets, sorghum, the maple
tree or what not-is no longer regarded as
an article of luxury, but as household
necessity. We leave to psychologists the
technical explanation Of this, but the fact
Is as we'll known as that water is needed
to quench thirst. This being so, it would
seem that dried grapes, or raisins, should
furnish the sugar which the system needs
In its purest and most concrete form, for
natures laboratory surpasses all the skill
of the chemists and outdoes all the tri-
umphs Of analysis, quantitative and quail
itative. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
this subject of raisins as food may be
thoroughly investigated and exploited, for
while raisins may not take the place Of
beefsteak or mutton chop they may well
stand up high in the second rank Of food
products. Francisco Chronicle

Dogs In Law

"It has been but short time since the
law refused to reoogize property In dogs,
said P. d. Milan. Judge Macarthur OF
the supreme court Of the District of Co
lumbia was the first 10 take the part of
the dog, which he did In very lengthy
opinion, and since that time number Of
judges throughout the country have ad-
adopted his views It was formerly the law
that the buyer Of dog could plead failure
Of consideration If sued for the debt, and
a railroad could kill dogs with absolute
immunity from damagea 1t is now very
different, and the value of dog can be
proved In any state. The effect upon
prices has been very marked, and q num-
Der OF dogs have been sold during the past
few years for amounts reaching into the
hundreds Of dollars, while few have sold
for thousands. "-Cincinnat Enquirer.

BlsmArcE's Last waltz.

Mime. Carette once the companion OF
the Empress Eugenie, tells in her MEM
oirs this new story of Prince Bismarck:
1t was at great ball in the Tuileries
In 1867 during the International exhibit
tion. Count Bismarck stood in corner
watching the dancers. In the cotillon the
thou came to me that might offer
him bouquet Of roses and thus compel
him to dancewith me. Herr Won Bismarck
was at that time the subject of universal
interest. He accepted my bouquet and
without hesitation. Responding to the in
vitation that went with it, he danced
waltz with me in a manner quite beyond
criticism. This incident, which seemed to
harmonic SO little with Count Bismarck's
seriousness and the important part which
he was already playing in state affairs,
amused immensely the kings and princes
who were present. AS he escorted me to
my seat after the waltz he took rosebud
from the buttonhole of his coat and gave
1t to mo with the remark:
. Madame, please keep this bud as q
memento Of the last waltz that 1 shall
ever dance. 1 shall never forget it. !"

SEA SERVICE AND SHORE DUTY.

Considerations That Guide the Preferences
of Naval Officers.
One of the oldest features of that little
known annual, The United States Navy
Register, is the record of each officers
time of sea service, shore duty and Idle
ness. 1t seems at first thought that 1t
must be the business of naval officer to
go to sea, but, as a matter of fact, naval
officers pass from one-quarter to two-thirds
of their time ashore.
The admirals are usually credited with
from 10 to % years of sea service, from
151< to "a years of shore duty and from
to 10y years of idleness. The proportions in
the case of commodores are much the
same, and The time of captains at sea and
ashore is pretty evenly divided on the aver
age, with wide variations in cases, and
from to II years in idleneSs.
The lieutenants of both grades have
had from 6 to II years at sea and from 8
to II ashore with short periods Of idleness,
varying from few months to year and
a half
1t is the scheme of the navy department
to send each officer three years to sea and
then to give him tour of shore duty. Tho
scheme is not strictly carried out, and
there is no hard and fast rule upon the
subject
Pay is from 5000 to 81, 900 year more
at sea than ashore, and this advantage
determines many officers to seek sea serv-
Ice and especially to shun waiting orders.
To put a man on waiting orders for
long period Is one form Of light punish
ment for minor misdeeds. 1t means loss
in pay of from $500 to 50, 900 year.
1t is the theory Of the navy that an Off
Ger with q family needs more money at
sea than ashore because in the former
case he must make special provision for
his family, whereas in the latter his wife
and children can share quarters with him.
All sorts of motives mysterious to lands
men decide an officer in his preference for
this or that shore duty. Some men eschew
the New York navy yard until they have
attained sufficient rank to make them feel
at ease and free from the fear Of imposi-
ton. Some seek places at Newport be-
cause such appointments may bring them
into gay and fashionable society
Others seek to escape from such duty for
the very same reason. Some of the billets
at Newport carry with them plenty of
house room and charming grounds mat
tiers to be considered If man wishes to
take his place in the society Of the city.
The Norfolk navy yard is popular be-
cause an officer may there enjoy at small
expense a kindly and agreeable society.
There is a pleasant little naval station at
New London, and there are charming
quarters for an officer of rank at the Sow
eral naval hospitals. Duty at League Is
land, Pa, is pretty dull, but 1t Is a good
place to wear out old clothes.-Boston

Hunting Up the Lost-Over -Four Hundred
Missing People Found by One Man.
In ICON Cregan, " one Of the late Charles
Levers breezy novels, an unusual profes-
sion is referred to as having been In exist
ence in Paris. 1t was quatorzieme, or
fourteenth. This was q person who was
hired out to make fourteenth at table
when any host who was giving dinner
party found that 10 were present In
Brooklyn there is person engaged In an
occupation unique as quatorzieme. 1t
Is that of discoverer or rather tracer Of
missing friends.
J. Colonna Drenon is his name, and he
has been singularly successful in his odd
profession. Facts are in his possession
that would prove a veritable mine of
wealth to the novelist or romance writer.
Mr.. Drenon Is an Englishman Of Irish de-
scent and has been but a short time in
this country. During this period he has
gladdened the hearts of many and relieved
the minds of others who have sought IT,
dings as to the fate of long missing rela-
tives or friends. Wives have wished to
know what had become of husbands, IA
theirs and mothers Of sons and daughters,
brothers Of sisters and sisters Of brothers.
In the United States alone Mr.. Drenon
has successfully traced upward Of 400
missing persons, all hailing from Great
Britain. Two popular weekly London
newspapers, Reynolds Newspaper and
Lloyd's Weekly, publish columns relat-
ing to missing relatives, and Mr.. Dren-
on's name figures in them regularly. He
receives correspondence on the subject
from all parts Of the world, chiefly Eng
land and British possessions, and his daily
mail is heavy one. Some of the inquir-
les made arc by relatives of persons who
left their homes In Great Britain or Ire
land go and even 80 years ago, and others
seek information Of those who may have
disappeared within the LAST two or three
years.
Mr.. Drenon, who lives In comfortable
apartments In central part Of Brooklyn,
spoke In very entertaining way Of his
career and methods, He docs not look
moro than 30 years old and has a shrewd,
earnest face, with a most kindly express

Eol at my feet lark with such glad how
OF soul enhancing music rose on high,
Methought he hoped to soar to heaven. The sky
A sudden tempest burst and to and fro
Swept him TO earth In helpless overthrow.

caught,
He sang and scared from sight as though once
taught

Thy prayers when vexed by anger cannot rise
Into the realm where storms ne'er cloud the

But when the heart Is calm impelled by love
They soar until they reach the inner shrine
And swift return in blessings from above.
