Are the people who lift and the people who lean.
Wherever you CO. you will find the worlds masses
Are always divided in just these two classes
And oddly enough. you will find too, 1 ween,
There is only one litter to twenty who lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing the load

Or are you a leaner who let's others bear
Your portion OF labor and worry and care?

DIR. Randolph NJ Myers read a paper be-
fore the last meeting of the Medical Soci-
ETY. of the District of Columbia on Cramps
as Affecting Stokers." During the time he
was ship surgeon he never saw an Ameri-
can stoker; they were usually young men
from all the large seaports Of Europe.
These men work from four to six hours in
high temperature with an interim equally
as long. They are poor-looking specimens
of humanity. being thin and cadaverous,
but very muscular. While on shore they
indulge in all forms of dissipation. and
about the second day out they are sud-
denly seized with violent cramps In, the
muscles OF the legs; they progress I'D the
back and around the chest. They are often
unconscious for from five minutes to two
hours. Tho pulse is weak and thready and
the skin hot. On coming out Of an attack
they have pain in the abdomen and con-
stipation and are laid up for two or three
days. These attacks are more common on
the trip out from New York. The tempera-
ture has no effect: same in summer and
winter. Some men seem exempt, but II
they have one attack they viii Invariably
have another. Treatment consists mostly
of large doses of opium in some form, fol-
lowed by castor oil and EPSON salts.

NOT TO BE SENT ABROAD.
kraenxlein's story of n Foreign Trip
of Penn,a Athletes.

krnenzlein's story of a Foreign Trip
of PENIS Athletes.
Tie story sent out from Milwaukee. in
which it was stated that Alvin C. Kraenz-
lein, Pennsylvania University's champion
hurdler, would not return to college unless
the university athletic officials made GER
tain retractions, created quite little
surprise in college circles yesterday.
When KraenZlein, who lives in Mil
waukee, went home for the holidays, he
told his friends in that city that Penn
sylvania would send a team abroad next
summer to compete in dual track and
field sports with Cambridge University.
This news was telegraphed to the east
ern papers and promptly denied by the
Pennsylvania athletic authorities, one of
whom stated that either kraenZlein had
been misQuoted or his imagination had
run away with him. The elder KraenZ-
lein feels that these denials place his son
in a bad position and announces that he
will not permit him to return to college
unless retractions are made.
The whole trouble is due to an nnfor-
tunate misunderstanding. Pennsylvania
has never thought of sending a team
abroad, but has for several years advo-
Gated the plan to have the point winners
in the intercollegiate championships COM
pete with the best athletes from the En-
glish universities. This proposition was
voted down by the colleges in 1896, but
will come up again at the February meet
ing, with fair prospects of being adopted
1t is believed that 1t was from this that
Kraenzlein got the idea that Pennsylvania
was going to send team to England.

COcOnnuts in Hawaii,
