THE FAT woMAN.s REFESaE.
How She Got Even With the Betw eenAc
R0rp

- ~
Bore.
Apropos Of the theater. I saw some
hing n other night within the last
seven that filled me with a totally un-
loly glee, says a writer in the Wash
ngton Post. A woman sat in front Of
ne. She was decidedly plump-in fact,
the was what Illinois people call corn
led. She was bareheaded, too, by the
way, and before the play began and
utter every act she had to stand up
ind let a man who sat near her pass
'ut. 1t was a tight squeeze every time.
md as the man did not say Pardon
me-" BEG your leave" or anything
alse to show the faith that was in him,
could see that the tide of that fat
woman's wrath was rising until its
crimson edge made the struggling
fringe below her back hair bristle in
aignantly. AT last the play was over,
and the man wanted to rush out to
DIN two women friends-undoubtedly
he'd have called them 'lady friends
whom he had noticed near. But did hs
ush? Well, if he did his rush wasn't
Visible to the naked eye. That fat wo-
nan sat down and put on her rubbers.
Then she replaced her gloves. which
The had taken of. Then she stood up,
blocking the passage, while she put on
aer hat. adjusted her veil. and button
I'd her cloak. And all the while the man
vas dancing with impotence, unable
% get out, and the two 'lady friends"
we're passing out Of the door. At last
he fat woman moved, and the man
we'll, inasmuch as nothing so much
lngers a man as a punishment he
knows he deserves, you can Imagine
how he looked. For my part. Thought
t was delightful, and If I ever meet
hat fat woman I mean to tell her 80.

Blind, Deaf and Dumb, Bnt fla a Marve-
lous Mind.
The chief interest of the commence
nent exercises of the Perkins insti-
ute for the blind centered in Helen
Keller, the little girl made deaf and
1umb and blind by illness at the age
" nineteen months. During the last
'hree years Helen had learned to ar-
iculate, and her contribution to the af.

remembered that three years ago Hell.

baby" teacher and SISTER," what
the has accomplished seems the more
wonderful. In March, 1890, she took
he first eleven lessons in audible
speech. These lessons are all that she
las taken, for her success is largely
Tue to her OWL indefatigable zeal. At
the end Of a month she could speak to
hose about her so as to be under
stood, and to-day she can express all
Ter thoughts in fluent and ineligible
speech. She likes to have people talk
% her orally. rather than by signs, and
he gets their meaning by reading the
notion of their lips with her fingers.
The most intelligent of deaf mutes
hitherto taught to articulatc have never
qualled Helen's quickness, and she
shows the same quickness in every
branch. Three months after receiving

Knew From Experience.

"Where did the ancient prophets
come from?' asked a school teacher
recently, and a business mans son
spoke up and said: Like the modern
%profits-from judicious advertising"
If any person, who has not paid for
the Exchange and Mart World, is re-
ceiving it, it is because some one else
has subscribed in his name. Every
paper is stopped at the expiration of
the time paid for, unless ordered con-
,inued.
Any man can write an adj. So can
any man make his own clothes. But
what man would care to be obliged to
wear clothes Of his OWL make, unless
he be a tailor!
December is one Of the best months
in which to advertise. The others are
| August, January. April, July, October,
June. February, May, September, March
and November.
When an advertiser has been actually
convinced that paper reaches the
ranks of his patrons real and prospect
i've, he quickly places his ad orders.
A glance at the advertising columns
particularly the style of the adj compo-
sition) tells the experienced reader
more in n minute, a. to the quality

lates among, than an hours perusal Of

The Doctors Have Taken Him in
Hand for Medical lses.
Between the steam engine, the bicy-
lie, the trolley car and the storage
,attery, it began TO look as if the horse
would lose his job. Just i'll the nick
If time, however, when scientists were
wondering whether the friend of man
would be a%llowed.to relapse into wild
less, or whether he would be turned
,ver to the Western packers and made
INTO extract of beef, a new occupation
Uses up before him. This is the manu-
.;acture of serum for the treatment of
iiphtheria.
There ought to be quite Il field Of
Usefulness for the horse in this capac-
ty. The manufacture of serum is a
low process, and it is likely a good
many horses will be needed for it.
Consul General Dc Kay writes from
Berlin that the establishment at Scher.
ng has forty horses under treatment,
ret the demand for the serum has
oeen so great that the hospitals ran out
If it in September. The remedy takes
/ long time to prepare and must be
comparatively fresh. At least nine
months, and sometimes a year, arc re-
luired to get the animals into condition.
One animal does not furnish much
blood at a time-only two quarts. The
horse must be carefully fed between tho
lates Of tapping, and as in time the
strength of its blood as Il means Of
cure give out, it is necessary to repeat
he process Of %cultivating the bacillus.
Altogether the Indications are that
his new field Of usefulness for the
horse will be a wide one. Whether he
will like his new occupation is doubt
Jul. Even hauling a heavy stage is
preferable In some respects to being fed
aigh for a time only to have your blood
hen drawn off for medicine. There
8 something ogreish about it, and the
horse may well object. But it is hard
Y likely that humanity will spare him.
The benefits of the serum treatment
appear to be too evident to allow of
my computations. Thus another
change is impending in the status of the
lorse, and the image Of the proud AMI
nal which was once idealized as Pc
yasus and bore poets flying through
the air, may yet be seen adorned with
spectacles and holding out a bottle In
bis hoof, upon the label of a medicine

Then Sarah Bernhardt left the Come

she made her first triumphal tour, and
returned to France. Upcn her arrival
in Paris, she entered into negotiations
with Raymond Deslandc, manager of
