SENSATIONS IN ILLNESS.
1t Il Curious How n Man Feels When He

1t L. Curious How q Man Feels When He
Knows He Needs q, Doctor.
ut is curious" said man yesterday,
"tho various sensations q man expert
ences when ho goes to see doctor or q
dentist. There is long, preliminary
siege Of mental agony, alternately exag-
gerating and belittling your ailment,
until finally i'll moment of desperation
you decide to go and see what is tho
matter anyway. Perhaps you have q
cold, which has settled on the lungs
and developed troublesome cough that
keeps you awake nights. The cough it.
self is not SO bad as tho terrible posi-
bilities it suggests. Visions of swift de-
mise from pneumonia or slow wasting
away with consumption rise up before
your eyes. and every wheeze and cough
confirms these terrible premonitions
If you could. you would go then in
hurry, but in the morning you feel bet
ter.
1.-The cough is still there, but the ter
rors of the imagination have fed before
the daylight, SO you put it off another
day. But finally you decide to go, and
with firmness born of despair march up
to the medical mans door to learn your
fate. In case of toothache every ono
knows how q tooth will hop and jump
and smart all day until you get to the
dontist's and thon calm down so quiet
and painless that you can't tell which

not come. Then tho funniest part of it
all is how mad you will get when you
find the doctor is not at homo and feel
as if you had been cheated out of ono

A curious incident happened to the late

lection of the photofligrane process, which
consists in rolling sheet of paper together

a Bank of England note, together with n
sheet of paper, through the press. TO his
establishment, he found perfect facsimile
of the water mark of the note.
The water mark being strong point in
the safety from counterfeting of these
notes, he communicated with the bank off
cials, imagining that they would natural
ly be much interested in knowing this
method of imitation and better able to
guard themselves against it. To his sur
prise, he was next day visited by several
men in company with the police and
learned that he had rendered himself liza

If suddenly by some great miracle the
multitude of human beings who are seri-
ously ill and those who actually suffer
pain, could be relieved, the good work
would only he begun.
There would still remain the great
army of "the nervous"
For every downright sick person there
are a hundred who go about their bust
ness weary from pain and bodily weak
ness-and the nervous, the feeble, the
ailing are met on every hand.
These earliest, small beginnings must
be attended to.
The help which that most scientific and
practical of all remedies, Paine's celery
compound, is able to give, comes, in no
small measure, from the fact that by its
use men and women who are merely
run down." weak and nervous build up
their bodies, give tone to their digestive
organs and feed their exhausted nervous
system before their weakness has pro-
crossed into chronic disease.
Nature tends to keep healthy. Give
her chance and she will throw off dis.
ease as something unnatural and disturb
ing. This great nerve and blood food,
with which the name of its dlscoverer,
Prof. Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., LII. d.
of Dartmouth college, will always be as
ISOLATED, this most remarkable remedy
of the close of the 10th cen ury, has
saved countless numbers of men and
women from lifelong and often from IA
tai diseases.
No such preventive remedy has ever
before existed.
The long labors of Prof. Phelps in the
famous Dartmouth laboratory proved to
the satisfaction of the medical world
that the true cure for nervous weakness,
rheumatism and heart disease was in sup,
plying as rapidly as possible material
that the weakened parts could approprl-
ate and build into new healthful tissues

DISCIPLINE IN THE KITCHEN.
How a Guests Order Is Disposed of In O.
Great Restaurant.

The waiter carries his order to a man
who is known as the dummy man" and
quietly repeats it to him. The dummy
takes down OH a slip the number of the
waiter the time the order was given and
the items of it, All this is shorthand, but
not the shorthand written by the giddy
young thing who chews gum and can't
read her notes The dummy man is the
inventor and patentee of his own, which
has its advantages, even if it does make
an order look like a Chinese laundry
ticket
For instance, two short horizontal lines
stand for a sirloin steak. If there is a
little circle just above tho lines, it means
that the lnan who gave the order is not
going to call on his lancee and will take
onions on his steak. If the circle stands
at tho end Of the lines, it means he wants
mushrooms.
When the waiter has given the order to
the dummy man, his work is temporarily
over. 1t Is the dummy man who really
starts the machinery Right behind him
stretch the great ranges manned by 90
cooks. Turning to them, the dummy man
quietly calls off tho order in its different
portions. There is cook for each depart
iNllO VI pNCLlpIl VI IllS SO!Illlllosthig, SO
vegetable part Of the order is turned over
to the vegetable cook, the fish to the fish
cook, the steaks go to the broiler, while
the game, fowl and roast meats are dealt
with by the carver.
When the orders have been separately
prepared, they are turned over to the chef
who inspocts them carefully. If they pass
muster, the order goes on to the dummy
man, who checks it up by his record, gar
nishes it, puts it on the steam table to keep
hot and presses a button. This causes q
drop bearing the walters number to fall
in the dining room and is the walters no.
tice that his order is ready.
People generally suppose the chef to DO
a busy cook working at tho range with
his crew of men. Such is not the case In
the modern restaurant the chefs entire
duties are those of an ovGrsecr and disC-
plinarian. Strange as it may seem, behind
the scenes 1T would be considered Il less
offense for q subordinate cook to send out
a tough lobster or an undCrdOno steak
than to talk. Beyond the doors the chef
is absolute master and holds each man to
his work. The result speaks for itself
The entire kitchen of this mammoth res
taurant runs like clockwork, and at the
busiest time, when there are 500 guests
without waiting to be served, man can
speak at one end Of the great kitchen and
be heard at the other. Chicago Tribune.

On the basis of this clear reasoning
Prof. Phelps prepared Paine's celery
compound Its remarkable control over
diseases of the liver, kidneys, and stom-
ach has left no doubt of the correctness
of this great scientists belief
Because there is often no crisis of pain,
or any absolute disability many are apt
to neglect growing thinness, beginnings
of nervous weakness, and the lack of
strength and high spirits that should ac-
company sound health. Physicians,
from their daily observations of such
cases. all know that there is grave danger
in these signs of lowered vitality.
Bv the advice of their family physi-
clans thousands of overwOrked and we'll

Even after this short time it is easy to
note the difference in increased weight,

is said by Mrs. a. NJ. Kane of South

Knew His Condition.

Even if one is fool it is good thing
to know it. Bishop B., a prominent
dignitary Of the Episcopal church, visited
the mining district near Joplin with "A
party of St. Louisans. The party left the
town and strolled out to where new
shaft was being sunk. A man was seen
laboriously turning windlass which
hoisted bucket of rock from the shaft
There was nothing remarkable about the
man except his hat, the crown of which
had been cut in such Il manner that the
hot sun beat upon his bald head continu-
ally. Some of his companions had recon-
mendcd this as sure to produce luXuriant
crop of hair
After watching the man toiling and
grunting at his heavy labor for awhile the
bishop said, with concern:
My friend, why don't you cover up
your head? This hot sun will affect your
brain"
brain, sit?" said the man as he gave
the windlass another turn. BE jabers,
and if l had any brains dye think I'd be

and took the next train for St. Louis.-St.

Visiting Cards.

Some years ago II contributor to LIN
termediaIie des Chercheurs ct des Curicux
recorded that he found some 90 visiting
cards in the interstice between the frame
and glass of an old mirror, where, as in
our own day, they would appear to have
been stuck. They all belonged to people
of the eighteenth century and were for the
most part pieces of playing cards, on the
backs of some of which the names were
written and on those of others rudely en-
graved by an amateur.
By the end of the last century visiting
cards seem have come into general use
I have in my possession some belonging to
Miss Banks, the sister of Sir Joseph. The
card is coarse and thick, and the name is
engraved in arge italic letters. According
to NJ. Grand Carteret, who gives some
specimens by Robida and other artists in
his article, fashion of having ornamented
cards seems to be springing up.-Notes

Ostriches For Dinner.

When the author of Meeting the Sun"
was at BrinGsi he was waited upon at
the inn by boy whose face, as he says,
was $50 constructed that when he opened
his mouth to speak or laugh the operation
shut up his eyes" This boy rejoiced in
the name of Ulysse and proved to be very
attentive.
When called him Ulysses of Ithaca, he
understood the allusion. His mouth
opened with grim and of course his eyes
disappeared.
"Well, Ulysses of Ithaca, what is there
for dinner uodayE
Again the same facial expression APP
peared, and my establishment may be
guessed when he answered, "Ostriches,
sir"
1t was not a joint of ostrich nor even a
single bird. He persisted in the plural
number. Even the man who said that
goose was too much for one person and
not enough for two might have been ap.
pallCd at the prospect of flock of ostrichcs
for dinner The heel of Italy's foot is not
very far from Africa, and it was possible
that ostrich was indeed one of the rare
dishes of this southern cline. Spccula-
tions of this sort went through my mind,
but dinner itself at last solved the mys-
terry. Ulysses of Ithaca came in, his mouth
open and his eyes closed, bearing a plate
of oysters. As my inability to understand
him had assumed the appearance of doubt,
there was an air of triumph as he placed
the plate OH the table and announced that
these were the "ostriChes." The Italian
word for oysters is ostrica, and Ulyssc
thought that he was pronouncing the Eng
lish word to me.
