How Bavarians Brighten Spirits.

In the little village of Egmanting, in
Bavaria, curious nocturnal exhibi-
ton has just taken place. A few
minutes after midnight there sudden
ly appeared in the village party of
$50 armed men, mostly peasant pro-
prietors, driving apparently some
imaginary specters before them.
Presently every man discharged his
tirearm. Many of the inhabitants who
were indoors, behind strong barriers,
trembled at the thought of the carnage
that must have ensued.
Then specially appointed person
recited the Record of Deadly Sins" by
way of exercising the spirits of evil
supposed to be lowering about AS a
rule, nobody dared venture out; but
one more bold than his fellows did
open his door and expostulated against
such an unwarrantable disturbance of
the night. But the firing party needed
him not. This ceremony of exercising
the evil spirits from the village con.
tinued for an hour. And as suddenly
as the party had arrived so suddenly
did they dispense. There was strong
smell of powder in the air, but not n
trace of brlmstone.

STRONG NERVES

Depend upon pure, rich, red, nourlshing,
,treugth-giving blood. The nerves derive
:heir sustenance from the blood, and when
hey are weak it is because they do not re-

cure for nervousness will not be found in
opiatc or scdative compounds. These only
Ilay the symptoms.

DOCTORS.

Die of the ID sease of Which They Make
Speciality.
SIN one of your stories in Round
the Red Lamp DOCTOR" said the re-
porter to Conan Doyle, you say
through the medium of Surgeon
Walker that a doctor generally dies
with the disease that he is especially
interested in and has investigated
thoroughly. We're you quite in
earnest when you made that state
ment?"
II am glad you asked that ques-
tion," rejoined Mr.. Doyle. 1.-THE
story you mention, though it has been
called horrible and other startling
names by the critics, is the result of
large number of years of medical
practice. | am thoroughly of the
opinion that Imagination as regards
the existence of a disease can affect a
doctor as we'll as the most susceptible
Of his patients. The story in ques-
ton relates the life of Surgeon
Walker, one of the greatest special
lists in nervous diseases in the United
Kingdom He addresses the stu
dents in the clinic on horrible form
of nervous disease and concludes his
lecture by saying that the only
method to determine the evidence of
the disease is to close the eyes and
endeavor to bring the heels together.
Surgeon Walter suits the action to
the word, but he finds it impossible,
and the terrible truth is flashed to his
mind that he is afflicted with the very
disease he is explaining and which
is a lingering one, and in the way of
exquisite torture could discount seven
times any form of torture germinat-
ing in the agile brain of the Apache
or Sioux Indians. The story is dra-
matte in way of climax, for such
position could not be otherwise than
horrible. The critics have said that
was stretching my imagination too
far and all that but the story is
founded on something more substan-
tial than mere fancy. 1t has been
the result of my observation that a
great per cent of physicians and sur
geons die of the very disease which
they have so sedulously studied and
investigated. I am glad that you
asked that question, as | wanted the
statement emphasized.

The Awful Mistake Made by Boston
Hostess to Josiah Quincy.

The Awful Mistake Made by Boston
Hostess as to Josiah quincy.
A good story is told in connection
with Josiah Quincy that will be APP
preciated by all who know him. Some
time ago he was at an evening party
given in one of the most exclusive
Boston houses, and, according to his
wont, he stood aloof, preserving
mien of cold indifference to his sur
roundings speaking to no one and no
one addressing him. Finally the
hostess, one of the grand danes of
society, saw the lonesome figure, and
not being able to recall who he was,
went in haste to her husband and
questioned him. The hus band looked
and looked again, but he did
not know him either, then the
hostess in great alarm whispered
she must go at once and
find out, for she believed him to
be reporter! Approaching the un-
known cues she said, with an air of
much severity:
"This is a very quiet house; we are
very quiet people and we do not car e
to have any notice made of our re-
ception for the newspapers
''Madame!" Numbered this dis
tlnguished citizen, II an Josiah
Quincy!"

a Less on of the Stage.

Mary Anderson looks upon the stage
with aversion. For six or seven years,
she says, she loved her work, but
after that the nnatura lness of her
life, it's unwholesome excitement, it's
glitter and glare became apparent to
her eyes. First she grew weary of
the constant publicity of such life,
and then her feeling became one of
positive distaste. From the moment
she had resolved to leave the stage
her life in the theater became I'M
bearable, and since her retirement
she has never for moment wished
to return. This is a who lesome lessoz
to stage struck girls, whom Mrs. &c
Navarro never fails to discourage
when they apply to her.

EIFFEL TOWER BIKE,
A Two-s Story steed Used by New York
Nheelman.


One Of the most curious sights that
has lately been seen in the streets of
New York is what has felicitously
been called the Eiffel tower bicycle.
This machine is constructed on the
same principle as the ordinary safety,
but it has frame superstructure
which carries the rider at distance
of some ten feet from terra firma.
This machine is frequently seen on
the avenues Of the city and the rider
easily overtops the ordinary lamp
post along the route of travel. He
seems to have perfect control over
the machine, which he can drive at
quite good rate of speed, taking
sharp corners with perfect ease and
apparent safety This bicycle is
mounted from behind in the usual
way, but it has to be held by attend
ants while mounting. The owner
sometimes places the machine against
the wall and zlounts from a stand
still, but, of course, in the city this is
not always practicable.
There is considerable difficulty in
driving the bicycle up hill, owing par
TALLY to the weight, the length of the
sprocket chain and the balance OF the
machine. The sprocket chain extends
from the upper sprocket wheel to the
rear wheel, and the lateral swing or
play Of the chain is prevented by
guide roller mounted just above the
back wheel. The front wheel meas
ures twenty-eight inches, the rear
wheel thirty-six inches and the ex-
treme height is said to be thirteen
feet.
The machine was constructed in
England. but the tire was applied
after it arrived in this country. The
adventurous spirit who has been seen
riding this remarkable wheel is
usually accompanied by number of
companions who serve as sort of
bodyguard and prevent vehicles and
pedestrians from obstructing the way

Nathan HaIe's saddlebags.

A citizen of New Britain, Conn.
has in his possession pair of queer,
wrinkled, old-time saddlebags, and
there is abundant reason to believe
that they belonged to Captain Nathan
Hale, the martyr spy. Their present
owner does not wish his name pub
lished in connection with them until
he is able to recover certain papers
proving the genuineness of the relics,
which have been mislaid. The saddle
bags are heirlooms and came to him
indirectly from an ex-gov ernor of
Massachusetts, The owner of the
bags says: II have read the papers
that go with the bags, and am salts
fed there is no doubt t hat they be-
longed to and were carried by Nathan

Origin OF Camlat.

Camlet was first made in England
during the reign of Elizabeth. It
was so called not, as some suppose,
from it's being made of camers hair,
but from the river Camlet, in Mont
gomeryshire, on which the first fac
tory was located.
