Waiting For Dead Mems Shoes.

Waiting for dead mems shoes is an
old proverbial expression and in con-
nection with army officers and their
wives still has remarkable signifi-
canoe. Said an officers wife a few
evenings since: II do dislike to take
up an army register and scan the per-
sonals to see if any one outranking
the captain is ill or to keep an eye
upon the old officers and figure out
when they will be retired. But I'm
not as bad as some others. Why,
they get life insurance tables and
study mortuary probabilities to see
when an officer may be promoted by
reason of death among officers out
ranking him. If some officers die as
they should according to rule, the
captain will be general before he is
80 years old Isn't it mean business
to think about2 But we get paid

Blank doesn't die. "-Cincinnati Trib-

Gas Versus Theology.

One of the oldest mistakes that
ever occurred, it is safe to say, in
Chicago or anywhere else, happened
to South Side druggist, Mr. j. H.
Hogey. His servant, Bridget, was
washing the steps of his house on
Vernon avenue. Along came an en-
ployee of the gas company, who
wished to enter the house to read the
gas meter. He had a thick book un-
der his arm, in which he is wont to
register the figures of the various
meters which he examines. Unfor-
tunately he is an Englishman, with a
pronounced cockney accent, and
Bridget is not overnight. This is
what the inspector said az he took
his book from under his arm: Good
morning, madam. All would like to
read the gaas bill" This is what
Bridget said:
"I've to cuke the breakfast an have
no time now to listen to the gospel. !"
''But it's me july, my good wom-
an. must read the gaas bill, and you
must let me. Allow me to enter"
"Divil a sthep," said Bridget,
"Come agin, when I've no worruk, an
Ill listen to yer gospel.
Tomake long story short, the man
couldn't make Bridget understand
him, and he didn't understand her
and reported to the company that he
was not allowed to look at the gas
meter, and the company took the
meter out Of the house before the
mistake was found. Boston Tran

Smoking and Infection.

II used to smoke, and I always
made a point of smoking in cases Of
cholera and in every other kind of
infectious disease, when I could man.
age it, and especially when attending
patients in the hospital or on board
ship"
"You regard it, then, asa thorough
disinfectant2"
mo, not as a thorough disinfect-
ant, but it is disinfectant. 1t has
some power, and especially if per.
son has not a good square meal In
aide him. Then it has an effect in
warding off an infectious disease"
II should have thought that smok-
Ing, tending to depress the nervous
Iystem, would have laid the smoker
open to the Infection"
Eyes, you must remember I have
spoken of man with whom smoking
does not disagree. A good deal de-
ponds on the idiosyncrasy Of the per-
son who smokes. If he cannot stand
smoking we'll, then it may depress
his heart action and enfeeble his con-
stitution, and SO lessen the resisting
power to throw off the infectious
germs. But on broad, general
grounds, am decidedly Of opinion,
from my own experience and obser-
walton, that tobacco smoking-other
things being equal-does give any
one exposed to infection a consider
able amount of immunity. And then,
smoking has disinfectant power on
the microbes themselves. The smoke
being retained in the mouth is a sort
of disinfecting filter through which
the germs have to pass, and some of
them certainly are destroyed or at
least deprived Of their vitality. DIR.

Pixies on Patents.
How to get $I00 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people TO
keep track of their bright ideas we offer a
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to US the most merltorious invention
during the preceding month We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the
National Recorders weekly newspaper pub.

extensive circulation throughout the United
States ana is devoted to the interests of in
yentors.
Nor so HARD AS IT sEEMs.
The idea of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult ;
this delusion the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount Of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL.
most everybody, at some time or another,
conceiyes an idea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Unfor-
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passenger g
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock- the bottle stopper, the snow shovel
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and 1t is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply for patent on
his invention through US, and whether he sc.
cures the prize or not, the inventor viii hav
