IN THE HOTEL CORRIDORS.

New York is pre-eminentiy the home of
'sky-scraper' buildings" said Mr.. Martin
j. Low, at the National last evening. We
have eignt oui din srecently constructed. or
in process of construction, over 300 feet
high, and running from eighteen to twenty
line stories Chicago also has some tall
buildings, but the only one to reach 500
feet ID height is the Masonic Temple, which
is exactly 800 feet to apex Of roof.
This reminds me OF a iii isadvantage about
very tall buildings, which is ju st now be-
ing noticed by the occupants. 1t is, per
haps, a small disadvantage, but still is
worth considering, as 1T involves severe
annoyance to those who have not made
some provision for it, This trouble is the
stoppingo pendulum clocks blythe vibration
of the buildings. Many pendulum clock
that has kept accurate time for years IN
old-fashioned low structures, las refused
to run at all when moved into some one OF
the new Tall steel-frarned buildings In the
lower part of the city. on the lower floors
of the buildings the clocks run fairly well,
bat when hicherup in the buildings they be-
GENE more whimsical, and on the top floors
will not run at all.
''Mr. Dunn, of the Weather Bureau, has
fine pendulum clock which has not done
an honest day S work since the Weather
bureau was moved into the new offices
1t has stopped so often thatit no longer
to be relied upon The pendulum swings
continually, but only from the vibration Of
the building, as the clock has not been
wound for weeks The only relief | s in
replacing the pendulum clocks with others
that have balance wheels

states that n the train emerged
from the cut il was moving at
about thirty five miles an hour.
As the engine turned the curve he
saw the wagon loaded with people
and sounded his whistle repeated
ly. The bell was also ringing by
automatic steam connection The
wagon was close to the crossing
when he first saw it. The yuu..
man who was driving seemed, to
become confused and instead of
halting he excitedly whipped the
horses to clear the crossing before
the train reached him. The engi-
neer, seeing that q collision was
inevitable, threw down his lever

A well known professor is noted fer his absentmindedness He and l friend, another old professor, used to take a daily walk together and discuss matters quite beyond the comprehension of erdi- nary mortals
 Que day when the walking was very bad professor No. 1 was on his way to the corner ut which he and his friend always met when he encountered a young student whose face he recognized dimly. having seen it every day for some weeks ill his morning class He accordingly hailed his pupil, who was wading through the mud to get across the street.
 "Hayeyou seen my friend?' he asked.
 s'Yes, sin replied the student, paus- ing respectfully ill the midst of a mud paddle to remove his cap. He is at the corner waiting for you.

 The Boueet Skirt.

The doucct skirt shirred OH fine cords around the waist, the shirring extend ing below the hips, is q popular feature of summer froeks In organdie this fashion is particularly adaptable. A pretty summer girl, who looked as if she had stepped out of picture at B wedding ill the country recently, had an organdie with white ground, DOW dered with tiny pink rosebuds, the skirt made i'll this way and worn over white taffeta slip. The waist had little full ness gathered on the right shoulder and under the arm, the folds being brought across the breast diagonally and fas- tened with a ruffle on the left side, forming curve around the collarless neck, which was left little bare, the orgaudie forming sort of bolero, which was drawn tightly across the figure and the waist defined by high draped belt. The sleeves were made without being gathered and drawn tightly around the arms, except at the top, where a smart looking puff aecentuated the shoulders. With this pretty frock was worn a leghorn hat tilted over on the side by a cluster of pink roses. Roses also formed garnitule on top, with loops of black velvet ribbon forming an aigret on one side.

ANGER AND EGGS.
A Boston Man Says the Combination May
 Result In Death.


 Never eat eggs while you are an. gry, said X. k. Stewart of Boston My attention was first called to this strange fact by the tragic md sudden death of q lady acquaintance in Boston several years ago. I accepted her hus- bands invitation to dine with them. Just as we were going ill to dinner d servant did something that caused the lady to fly into q terrible rage. She had been irritable from some minor com plaint for several days, and her hus- band calmed her ruffied feelings suffi- ciently for the dinner to be eaten in good temper. l noticed that she ate an unusually large amount of soft scram- bled eggs. Fifteen minutes after we left the dining room she was corpse. She died ill frightful eonyulsiens be- fore the nearest doctor reached the house. The doctor was unable to ascribe the cause. A few months later l was visiting brother ill Connecticut, and one of his sons died under similar cir cumstances. Before breakfast ono morn Ing the boy, who was about 10 years old. had fight with a neighbours boy. Before his anger had sabsided my nephew was called to breakfast. He ate four soft boiled eggs. Had I known as much then as l do now I would have prevented it. In less than |. half hour after breakfast the boy died with exact. ly the same symptoms that were present when my friends wife died This set me to thinking about the matte4
 1t wasn't leng after this before beacon hill friend of mine expired sud denly after q meal. The doctors, as usual, We're divided in opinion on the cause of death. Some Of them contend ed that It was heart failure, whatever that is, and others are still holding out that 1t was apoplexy. Inquiry by me developed the fact that my friend was very angry when he sat down at table and that he ate five eggs. With these developments searched no further for the cause of his death. He was angry, he ate eggs and he died If these are not links in the chain of cause and ef- feet, the human intellect is incapable of logical thinking St Louis Republic.

ERRORS IN LIVING.
Mans Excessive Appetite and the Body's
 Capacity For Food.

&'sNsacltY TOT IT oOu.
 To the lay mind nothing seems to au- gur so strongly in favor of robust health as hearty appetite. Furthermore. tssere would seem 10 be strong con r1ction in the public mind, sanctifed by tradition from time almost imme- morial. that the more q man eats tie better he is. The quantity of food that many people naturally eat is very large as compared with their actual physi- ciogical requirements. Add to this the many tempting forms in which food is presented to the palate by our modern culinary arts, the sharpening of the ap- petite hy the auteprandial cocktail, the stimulus afforded the apYetite by q bot tie of good wine, and the result is often the consumption of an amount of food that simply oyerwhelnls the assimila- tive organs. Such indulgence, if unre- stricted and habitual, taxes both tue as similatiye and the excrctory organs to their highest capacity, especially when coupled with sedentaIy life, and, more over, it lends an additional impetus to the evils springing from the use of i'm proper quality of food
 The human elaborating and excretory mechanism was evidently adjusted fer ordinary wear and tear to an average limited period of about 70 years. Un der 40 per cent of extra work we must naturally expect impairment OF break down of the mechanism much earlier It should therefore excite no special surprise that so large proportion of our well to do people die from Bright's dis ease, heart failure and allied diseases at 50 or 65 who should, and under prop erly regulated lives and habits would, have attained the natural age of 70 or over. Paradoxical though 1t may seem, such people usually spring from exeep- tionally healthy stock and often point with pride to the fact that their imme- diate ancestors lived to advanced ages of S0years or more This paradox, how ever, is more apparent than real, for in- vestigation will usually reveal the fact that for the most part the parents in such eases were people of more simple habits, such as corresponded with New England life 75 or 100 years ago.
 The truth is that the well to do man of today lives in faster age than that of his father and grandfather. He meets with greater opportunities and possi- bilities and thesefore greater stimulus to all his energies, He more easily nc quires pecuniary resources, and in larger amounts, and therefore he pos Sesses greater luxuries of domestic life. With these come greater temptations to excess. While he has often inherited splendid constitution from his anees- tors, unlike them he has run his phys ical mechanism at breakdown rate, and it must of necessity more quickly wear out. Charles ". Purdy, NJ. D., in North American Review.
