Practicing a Fit.

Crossing City Hall park one day re- porter saw an Italian boy suddenly fall fiat on his back on the pavement. Sey- eral companions instantly knelt by his side, some slapping the palms of his hands, some rubbing his face. They were all laughing very much, and after minute or two of this work the boy rose and in two or three more minutes repeated the game, this time all being serious, especially so when they noticed that the same man was watching them.
 The boys who were doing tho slap ping and rubbing looked out from un- der their tangle of hair and grinned at the reporter a little at first, and then became serious again.
 What is tho gamer" the reporter asked newsboy who was also watching.
 Dem kids is praet cin a fake" " he replied.

 The Authority on Fat Reducing Enlarges
 His Directions.
 Professor Sehweninger recently gave this elaborated summary of his treat ment to correspondent of The St. James Gazette: Eat as much as you please as often as you like, but not too much at meal. Drink no liquid at any meal When thirsty, drink little good aerated water, with few drops of lem on or orange juice squeezed into it, but only an hour before or an hour after meals You may also take little white wine or cider that is not sweet or now and then cup of tea, but never coffee. Smoke little and indulge with mod eration ill the other little luxuries to which you have been accustomed
 Bathe often, but do not wet the en- tire surface of tho body at once. Exer- else should be regular Change your pc sition as often as possible. Do not re- main standing or sitting or lying too long at time nor pass too many hours in bed. Take your meals at different hour every day. Never eat at regular hours, but whenever you are hungry, and, if it be not too soon before or after a meal drink whenever you arc thirsty. Better eat a dozen times day than overload your stomach at two or three heavy meals at long intervals. Do not eat the same article of food too often. "

Bouianger's Horse.

The 14th of July was the great day of Boulanger's life, so far as popular admiration and exterior manifestations were concerned. It was the date of the appearance of the black horse-the horse that became for the time party symbol, political finger post, feature in the history of France.
 He was a prodigiously showy horse. as gorgeous as he was famous. He was composed principally of 0 brandishing tail, a new moon neck, 6 looking glass skin and the action of Demosthenes. He seemed to possess two paces only a fretting walk and windmill canter. He was thorough specimen of what the Spaniards call "an arrogant horse. !" He was gaudy, yet solemn; strutting, yet stately; Haunting yet majestic; mag niloquent, yet eloquent
 He was drilled with the most admira- ,ble skill. His manners were so super Native that with all his firework display he could not have been either difficult to handle or tiring to sit. Never was a horse so emphatieally suited to his rider. The two were identical in their ways. Each was as gilded as the other As the horse bounded the general, who had a weak grip rocked on him. At every stride he swung harmoniously in the saddle and bent right and left alternate ly, like a stage sovereign lowing to his assembled people. e.-Blackwood' s Maga- zine

REVERSED BY A COLLISION.

 An old Brakeman Tells of 8 Queer Rail-
 road Accident He Witnessed.
 'eThe most remarkable wreck I was ever in" said an old brakeman, "hap- pened on the Short Line between Pewee and Boards some years ago. It was a freight wreck. I had charge of the La Grange accommodation and was bound in to Louisville We were following hard upon tLe trail of train No. 32, also bound for Louisville. Train No. 1 4 was coming in our direction. It had been delayed some minutes at Pewee, but ex- pected to make up the time and side track between Pewee and Beard's on schedule time, so that train No. 32 Would have the right of way.
 ''The delay vas what caused the trouble The s8le track am telling you about was just behind and under hill. Train No. IA had just backed on to the side track, and before the switohman could shift the switch train No. 32 came dashing around the hill The. en- gineer saw the danger. He turned down the throttle with hard shove and whis- tied down brakes His efforts were of no use, however. Train No 32 turned in on the side track and went crashing into No IA. All the cars of the train, IA, were stripped off the track as clean as if they had been peas in a pod. The shock of the two trains meeting was, of course, terrific. The whole of train No. S2, including the locomotive, toppled off the track. Remarkable as it may seem, only the cars of No. IA were thrown off the track.
 "When the two trains struck, the en- gineer of Ii had his hand on the throt- tie, about to stop his train. The shock threw him out of the cab, and the wrench threw open the throttle again and re- versed the engine. When the cars had been stripped off the track, the loeomo- tive went wild down the track toward La Grange. We of the La Grange accom- mediation had by this time neared the curve. was at the head of the train as lookout. I heard the sound of a locomo- tive approaching and signaled the en- gineer of our train to reverse his engine. He had hardly time to jump to the throttle when the wild locomotive crashed into us. Twas thrown, reckon, 50 feet and came out of it with two broken legs No one else was hurt, but } the La Grange accommodation was day late. No, don't railroad any more. !" Louisville Courier J ournal.

Webster Tn the Water.


 River steamers went down to City Point occasionally, during the war. with prisoners to exchange. AS there were torpedoes in the river anywhere from Drury's bluff to Trents beach. and below, their captains ran great risks. On one occasion two boats were returning from City Point, fortunately with no passengers, when one of them struck torpedo and immediately went down. A boat went from the other steamer and found the captain strug- gling ill the water, with Webster's s Unabridged Dictionary in his arms. As he was pulled into tho boat he said. T did not have time to get it on. He thought he had seized life preserver. New York Dispatch.

Appreciation.

The Elmira Advertiser tells story of a clergyman about to leave his parish who had endeared himself to every one l. in 1t by his self denying pastoral work. Among those who called upon him to say goodby were an aged couple who were particularly fond of him. When they were about to leave, the old lady, with much feeling and many tears, while grasping thu pastor by the hand (who was moved to tears himself), said, ''The Lord only knows, Brother S., how often I've bitten my fingers that I might keep awake to hear your good sermons ]" The moral of the story ap- pears to be that fine preaching is not the only necessary qualification of clergy man.

ABOUT HEARTBREAK.
Diseases of Slight Importance Become Ea-
 tai When Patients Suffer Grief

tal When Patients Suffer Grief
 Grief does not kill, and it is indeed very seldom that heavy sorrow causes death to any one when in healthy con- dition. It is. however, very often the indirect cause of death, either by bring ing disease to a climax or by rendering the sufferer more liable to it's attack. If man is convinced that his grief is more than he can bear, those who have studied the matter agree that, through the force of his own imagination, the man will actually die from a broken heart.
 The great Napoleon was killed by an internal disease, but it is supposed that it would not have been fatal had not his spirits been so depressed through exile and defeat. William Pitt, the or ator, is said to have died from sbro- ken heart, " caused by his great grief at the failure of his cherished hopes and plans. And there have been many other such instances in this country. When plaques are raging in town, statistics show that as many die from fright and imaginary causes as from the real epi- demic, so great a hold has the fear of death on some people.
 If man is condemned to be shot, 1t has often occurred that on the word fire" he has dropped lifeless, although, through accident or design, no bullet has in reality left the gun.
 There is a queer case on record con- corning the daughter of celebrated novelist, who was deeply interested in one of her father stories. It appeared in installments, and the heroine was suf- fering from consumption. As the girl brooded over the sad fate of the heroine, she, too, suddenly manifested the'same symptoms. A physician recommended hen father to restore her to health, which he did few chapters on, and at the same time as the girl in the novel recovered so also did his too senti- mdntal daughter.-New York Dispatch

Many Crippled German Professors.

An American in Germany was sur prised to find number of cripples among the celebrated college professors, men whose high standard of learning makes them famous the world over. One Berlin professor is wheeled into his lec- ture room every day, and there are others similarly, though, for the most part, less painfully. afflicted. This is due partly to the fact that, under the military regime in Germany, when 8 boy is disqualified for the army, he is trained for science or the law.-New York World.

Marie Wainwright.

An unusual treat will be offered to our theater-goers in the appearance at O'Bri- ems opera house on Tuesday, November 26, of Miss Marie Wainwright in her lat est success, a revival of Sheridan Knowles most famous and brilliant comedy, "The Love Chase" which will be gorgeously costumed in the style of Charles II. Miss Wainwright's company is still headed by Nathaniel Hartwig, and has been greatly strengthened by the addition of Barton Hill and Hattie Russell for this production. Miss Vain wright has recently made a great hit in this comedy in New York. The New York Dramatic Mirror said: Miss Vain wright surrounded by company of ex- ceptional ability, presented Sheridan Knowles famous comedy, The Love Chase last night. AS Constance Miss Wainwright played with delicate skill and showed a true appreciation of the comedy. Nathaniel Hartwig as Will drake, Barton Hill as Fondlove, and the other members of the company shared the honors of the evening with their star. The gayotte introduced was grace full and picturesque. The play Is hand somely costumed and mounted."'

There may be in the distant future some remedy as efficacious as Paine's eel cry compound.
 There is none such today.
 The sick and ailing who are stretching out their hands for help must take the best that the scientific medical knowl- edge of the world now affords.
 The reasoning that has enabled Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D. LIA D., of Dart mouth college to discover the remarka- ble formula of Paine's celery compound Is the result of the century's work in medicine.
 It is by a new and more thoughtful grouping of diseases, from careful study of their causes, that Professor Phelps has been enabled to see the true relationship of all diseases of the blood and nerves. rle
 Neuralgia. sleeplessness. melancholia. hysteria, heahache and dyspepsia at once referred themselves to a tired. half-fed and therefore deranged nervous system.
 The cure lay in attending to the nutri- tiop of the whole system. This system of cure, simple and clear like most epoch making ideas was embodied in the great est tissue former. nerve-restorer and reg ulator yet known to scienee--Paine'si cell cry compound, the one great remedy that makes people well! .s.I

that. their tired bodies were actually talk ing a new start. Their strength rapidly returned. They were no more troubled with sleepless nights, and their days were no longer made wretched by neuralgia and rheumatism.
 Constipation, that stores up in the body substances long since worse than useless ito the body and a menace to the health. is looked after Any one troubled with this obstinate hindrance to health will find positive and lasting cure in Paine's celery compound.
 It takes very short time to settle any celery compound a trial
 . Mir. John Holland whose portrait Is given above, is a parlor car conductor, whose home is in Jersey City. He writes: 7 T wish to give my testimony of the great benefit Paine's celery compond has done me. A year ago had typhoid fe- yer. and later had to have an operation in my side for an abcess over the liver. This left me very weak. I grew very nervous and could not sleep. I was tired even more after got up than was when went to bed. I have taken four bottles of Paine's celery compound, and am per fectly we'll! have sent six bottles to some friends in Virginia. One, although he. has taken only "a bottle of it, feels much better and sleeps we'll"
 Paine's celery compound puts the sys- tenn on 6 healthy, strong basis, safe from disease. Try it if you are ailing, and trial will speedily convince you.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

The opening engagement of Hanlon Bros "Fantasma" at O'Brien's last night was witnessed by a good house and the performance gave general satis- faction.
 There is but little plot to the play. hardly enough to be recalled after the curtain falls on the last scene. The performance consists almost wholly of speciality artists, who keep the audience laughing the greater portion of the time.
 The leading specialist is MT. George H. Adams, who. is. perhaps, the best pantomimist in the business He is won derfully clever in this line and introduces some very amusing situations r.se az
 Miss Nettie Black has 0 sweet, though not very strong soprann- voice. Miss Sa- die Stephens also has splendid voice, and both she and Miss Black were forced to respond to several encores. Miss Ger trnde Lamar Is a very charming dan seuse and charmed the audience with her exquisite Spanish dance.
 Miss Pauline Glidden gave several cor net selections very creditably.
 Miss Nettie Black as Fantasma, the Fairy Queen in disguise, and Ben J. Miles as Zamaliel, King of the Realm of Hades, were splendid in their roles,
 The roles of the devoted lovers, Ar thur and Lena, were well played by A. Bartoletti and Miss Martha Morris.
 The scenery and mechanical devices were good. The transformation scene in the last act was equal to anything of the kind seen here in long time and elicted hearty applause.
 As a whole the performance was good and will no doubt draw a large house tonight
 "Fantasma" will be produced at O'Bri- ems again tonight.
