Cinch For Specialists.

"If Twas TO try the race over again, what
would go into?' inquired the man on
the corner in answer to question well,
sir, would be a specialist in medicine
There is not a 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 to the public
that great part of our ailments which
were laid to all sorts of causes come di-
rectly from the faulty condition of the
eyes, which thus produce strain on the
system SO 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'eye are not only very much
more general than was formerly supposed,
but they yield to skillful treatment, and q
shattered system is made vigorous by tho
process thus etfecting two remedies at
once. There are not men enough in the
profession fitted to do this work as fast as
1t makes its appearance. Buffalo Ex-

MISCELLANEOUS.
TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Twenty years ago, pills, potions and the sur
geon's knife were the only resource in the
treatment of disease. Science had not as yet
turned her full light on to the problems OF life.
She had not shown that foods are more valll-
able than drugs, when things are not running
just right in that complicated piece of mechan-
ism known as the human body.
To-day, one may almost say that the higher
the standing of a physician in his profession,
the less medicine he employs. He has found
that due attention to diet will accomplish more
than the FILLS and potons of his forefathers
Paskola is a step forwafd in the line of food
specially designed for the cure of dyspepsia
and other diseases which are directly traceable
to some arrangement of the digestive ORGANS
Its novelty lies in the fact that 1t is artifciay
digested. In other words it has been prepar-
ed Tor immediate absorption without requiring
rest
Further than this, it contains principles
which are active in the digestion of other
foods. Therefore it at once nOurSheS and at
the same time relieves the disagreeable symp-
toms which are the chronic dyspeptic's every
day lot.

NOVEL BUSINESS.

Hunting Up the Lost-Over Four Hundred
Missing People Found by One Man.
In ICON Cregan,' ono of the late Charles
Levers breezy novels, an unusual profes-
sion is referred to as having been in exist
ence in Paris. 1t was quatozieme, or
fourteenth. This was person who was
hired out to make fourteenth at table
when any host who was giving dinner
party found that IS were present In
Brooklyn there is person engaged in an
occupation unique as a quatorzieme. 1t
is that of a discoverer or rather itracer 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 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 til
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
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 are by relatives of persons who
left their homes in Great Britain OF Ire
land 60 and even so 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 a very entertaining way of his
career and methods He does not look
more than so years old and has shrewd,
earnest face, with a most kindly express
sions. He has many and varied expe-
riences. Herald

SEA SERVICE AND SHORE DUTY.
Considerations That Guide the Preferences
of Naval Officers

of Naval Officers.
One of the oldest features of that little
known annual The United States Navy
Register, is the record of each officer 8
time of sea service, shore duty and idle
ness. 1t seems at first thought that it
must be the business of naval officer to
go to sea; but as matter of fact, naval
officers pass from one-quarter to two-thirds
of their time ashore.
The admirals are usually credited with
from 16 to 25 years of sea service, from
1519 to "a years of shore duty and from 2
to 10 years of idleness. The proportions in
the case of commodo-es 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 IL years in idleness.
The lieutenants of both grades have
had from to L. years at sea and from
to Il ashore, with short periods of idleness,
varying from few months to year and
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. The
scheme is not strio6ly carried out, and
there is no hard and fast rule upon the
subject.
Pay is from 5000 to 81, 600 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 a
long period is one form of light punish
ment for minor misdeeds. 1t means a loss
in pay of from $500 to 50, 600 year.
1t is the theory of the navy that an off
Ger with 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-
tion. 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 sew
eral naval hospitals. Duty at League Is
land, Pa, is pretty dull, but it is good
place to wear out old clothes. Boston

"It has BEEN but short time since the
hw refused to recogize property in dogs"
said P. q. Milan. Judge Macarthur of
the supreme court of the District of Co
lulnbia was the first to take the part Of
the dog, which he did in a very lengthy
opinion, and since that time a number of
judges throughout the country have adj
adopted his views. 1t was formerly the law
that the buyer Of a dog could plead failure
of consideration if sued for the debt, and
railroad could kill dogs with absolute
immunity from damages. 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 num-
Der of dogs have been sold during the past
few years for amounts reaching into the
hundreds of dollars, while few have sold
