WORKED THE CASHIER.


A good story is told Of a young
man, who, besides being a spendthrift,
is splendid mimic, and can initiate
his fathers voice to dot. Not long
ago the young man wanted, at once,
some money to pay a bill. and ne knew
that his father would treat a request
for the same with cold contempt. Wait
ing till he knew that his father would
be away. he went to a telephone and
rang up the Office, calling for the cash
Ter. The cashier answered, and when
he was at the other end the young man
initiated his sire's voice.
4 say, Blank, If that scapegrace son
OF mine comes round and asks for 500,
don't give it to him. Only give him
$780,
The cashier promised that he would
obey the order. Not long after the
son called at the Office and demanded
500. He was refused by the conscien-
tious cashier, and, apparently in anger,
the young man contented himself with
the $50 When the old man reached
the Office there was a scene.

Try raw linseed oil for ivy poison.

For those who have cold feet, pair

a source of much comfort this winter.

Catarrh may be relieved by snuffing
powdered borax up the nostrils. 1t is
also an excellent substitute for soap,
both for laundering and toilet use.
Use nothing but borax and warm water
for flannels.
Speaking of cold weather, the best
and most comfortable night gowns are
of outing flannel. Seven yards are re-

ONLY FOOLED THEM ONCE.
A Prisoners Pretended Malady Given
Away by Hot Water.

Prisoners often sham illness and in
sanity. A young man of less than
twenty-five was some time ago jailed
for picking pockets. In prison. deter
mined not to work, he affected illness
with such accuracy that it was deemed
necessary by the surgeon to place him
in the hospital and have him watched.
There the opinion soon prevailed that
he was shamming, and consequently he
was compelled to throw greater energy
into his fraud.
An aggravated fit accordingly seem
ed to distort his countenance and fix
his eyes, and his life finally appeared
to be in danger. The surgeon still had
his doubts. but at length sought the
advice of another eminent physician,
who resorted to various medical tests
to guide his judgment. The result was
the conviction that the case was genu-
inc and the patients condition alarm
ing. His head was therefore shaved,
and a blister applied from the crown.
right down the back to the termination
o. the spine, while other suitable APP
plications followed.
Meanwhile the sentence was drawing
TO a close, and the patient exhibited
improvement, but still kept his bed,
and assumed all the feebleness of a
PROSTATE conyalescent. On the day OF
his discharge his wife came to the
prison to accompany him to public
hospital.
He was dressed carefully, conveyed
on mattress to cab and transferred
with due care to the hospital, and there
put to bed. All these processes the
patient permitted, but the deception
had now been carried far enough for
his purpose, so within half an hour of
his arrival at the hospital, he suddenly
jumped out of bed, put on his clothes,
and taking his wife by the arm, coolly
walked away
Getting into another prison some
time later, the fellow again essayed
the same trick, but inquiries being
made, his previous game transpired.
and a little stratagem was employed
to Illustrate him. AS he lay on the
floor of his cell, again Stimulating with
all his old craftiness violent fit, the
infirmary warder was instructed to
drop, as If by accident, little very
lot water upon him. No sooner did
he feel the water than, suddenly
springing to his feet, he knocked the
keeper down, and the game was given
away.

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.

In nursing typhoid fever, the follow
ing very essential points should al
ways be borne in mind:
That thoughtful care is necessary.
That the disinfectants ordered are
faithfully used as neglect in this par
ticular spreads disease.
That the patients mind is fragile,
and unpleasant news and emotional
tidings should never reach the ears Of
the patient.
That medicine and food must be tax
en- regularly, and that tact and sense
are necessary to accomplish this.
That no draughts Of air should cross
the sick bed.
That the air must be pure, and tenn
peratnre of room kept day and night
at IS degrees Fahrenheit, unless the
doctor orders otherwise.
That frequent rubbing aids recovery.
That during convalescence II the
time to put in your best work and
care. That the mother, sister, or nurse
in charge of the patient should have
sufficient rest and recreation.
