FOR THAT. CROSS FEELING.

Powders composed of 20 grains of
bicarbonate of potash with 10 or 20 of
bromide Of potassium are recommended
to be taken when the feeling of irriAa-
bility comes on as a preventive when
something annoying has occurred or
some depressing news is heard. ,o
With comforting illusions to short
tempered persons as patients" it is
stated that continuous physical discom-
fort has the same effect, and that even
without obvious discomfort the accu-
mutation of abnormal substances, such
as uric acid, may produce irritabiIity of
temper.
1t is suggested that these temper
powders" might be especially valuable
for those unfortunates whose pleasure
in life is destroyed, their appetites i'm
paired and their digestions ruined, not
through disease of their own, but
through the constant ill-temper and
fretfulness of some other member of
their family.
Therapeutic treatment ior ill-temper
is late development of medical sci
ence. A Aphysician, writing in medical
journal, points out that explosions of
temper which occur on every slight
provocation are really due to "a con-
dition produced by an accumulation of
small irritatious which have gradually
worked up the patient into a state of ex-
element venting itself in an explosion
quite out of proportion to its apparent
cause"

him $250,000 a year, spends his in
come in the following proportions: To
poor relations he gives $2500; the al
lowance to his sons and daughters
amounts to $26, 900; the rent of his
town house, which he uses for four
months in the year, is SIG, 900; and
his country house, where he spends
five months, employing thirty garden
ers and thirty indoor servants, will
foot up to about $40, 900. The keep
ing of the town house will cost $17,-
500, to which may be added $l5, 900
for his stable and $1,000 for his wine
cellar. Travel and amusement will
take $4,000, and his steam yacht
nearly $50, 900. While he spends only
$500 for clothes. his tobacco costs him
$4,000. Under the head of philan-
thropy $4,000 is expended, and the
balance, including politics, religion,
insurance, art, literature, racing, bet
ting and wedding presents, is set down

BICYCLES USED IN BATTLE.
A French Officer Tells of the Value of q
Cycle Corps in War.

A French Officer Tells of the Value of
Cycle Corps in War.
In LIE Monde Moderne, a Captain
Danrit gives an interesting account o)
the present use of the bicycle in the
French army. Formerly horsemeD
carried dispatches; now the work is
done by cyclists. The infantry arm
of the service, too, he says, by avail
ing itself of the swiftness of the bicy-
Gle, has proved itself able to surprise
the enemy in offensive movements
and thus SECURE great advantage.
To Captain Gerard belongs the
credit of having provided the army
with satisfactory folding bicycle, and
in the last maneuvers he had command
of the bicycle corps, the first ever or
ganizel. Sixty men formed the com
pany They We're attached to the
division Of general favorable to the
use of the bicycle by the military, and
his instructions from the minister ot
war were to make as much as possible
of the new element in the service.
The men were uniformed in way
that did not interfere with the free
movement of their limbs, and each car
ried 100 rounds Of ammunition. Their
arms were artillery carbines, selected
because they are shorter than the av-
erage gun and more easily handled.
In the rear of the corps was social
tandem, formed of two folding bicy-
cles, on which was carried all the nee
essary articles for repairing breaks IN
any of the soldiers wheels.
The most frequent use made of the
cycle corps was i'll supporting cavalry,
and under ten different sets OF condl-
tions the riders proved most effectual'
General Aubigney, one of the com
manders in the engagement, made the
following favorable statement IN his
report:
"a trial of sixty cyclists under the
direction of Captain Gerard has proved
that company mounted on cycles,
properly instructed and commanded,
could rapidly accomplish certain i'm
portant and difficult missions. Ihe
only fault is that the said company
was too weak in its number of men.
1t is requisite to raise its strength
to 2oG men in order to strike decl-
sive blow as quickly as possible with
greater effect. Two hundred cyclists
firing fifteen rounds per minute and
per man send fifteen hundred to six
teen hundred bullets in thirty seconds
into cavalry charging. 1t cannot be
repeated too often, and experience has
Just proved it, that groups of infantry
supplied with this new motor OF ra-
pidity would produce on the fianks
and rear of an enemy the most unex-
pected and demoralizing effects.
Panics of every description, telegraph
wire cutting, conveys stopped and
tearing up of rails, in fact, everything
to impede the advance of the enemy
such are the opportunities given tc
this little band of cyclists If they only
possess GOODNESS, and above all thai
great gift, dash, accompanied with au'
dacity."
There seems to be no reason now
why bicycles should not be used III the

oriental Pile Driving.

In Japan and China women drive
piles for houses and bridges. Their
method is interesting. Attached to
the hammer block are twenty-seven
ropes, carried up to the top of the
frame and on the outside looking very
much like the old-fashioned May-pole.
Twenty-seven women hold the ends
of the ropes, and with singsong all
togethef pull down; up travels the
hammer until at scream, all let go,
and down it comes on top of the pile,
which is unprotected by a band or
ring. This May-pole driver is in
general use throughout japan and

Heroic Treatment Of Hospital Patients.

The hospital physician should be Il
man of the most thorough methods
and the most extreme conservatism
He should be chosen as much for his
practical good sense as for his skill III
diagnosing disease. He should be
man with intuitions, and ought to be
able to decide almost at a glance
whether patient is suffering from
brain trouble OF alcoholism.
There have been of late Il great
many instances where this mistake
has been made, and it is by no means
creditable to the hospital authorities
when such blunders are made.
One of the latest exploits OF hos
pital doctor is to order cold bath for
consumptive patient who showed
some symptoms of hysteria. Shortly
after the bath the woman died. just
why A doctor should order such treat
ment, common sense as well as the
medical profession would like very
much to know.
Hospitals are in the main supported
by the people, and the people have a
right to good treatment and courtesy
at the hands of those who are put III
charge of such institutions. Failingt to
receive this, the public has also the
right to demand an investigation OF
the situation and to demand the pun
ishment of those who are guilty OF
such unprofessional and inhuman con-
duct, and that their places be filled by
those who are more intelligent anu
better fitted for the duties and respon-
sibilities of such place. NY. Ledger.

thing. If you are i'll you shall be
nursed as though you were my own
daughter, but / must know you are
near me. Child, what makes you SO
near and dear to me?'
But Nettie's only answer was
burst of tears. And so when the young
master came to his home she still held
there the position of his mothers
maid
'She is lady, Harry" said his
mother. 81 am sure of her birth and
breeding as of my own, but I can get
her to disclose nothing"
To all of which the young man lis
tened indifferently, though he, too, had
started at sight of the girl s rare beauty
and found himself listening delighted
ly to the tones of the low, sweet
voice.
81 must CO." Nettie said to herself,
when this had gone on for several
days. 81 am only making my own
misery the greater and signing the
death-warrant to my own happiness. J"
But resolutions are not always made
else was forgotten at Thorburn House
but the sudden illness of the young
master.
Captain Harry had been stricken
down with low fever, and who could
nurse him, thought his mother, but her
faithful maid?
His life was spared. The fight was
fierce but short; and then followed the
long, tedious days of convalescence, or
days which began as long and tedious,
but soon grew all too short.
Captain Harry was proud man, and
it was long ere he would acknowledge
to himself that to this poor girl, his
mothers paid dependent, he had given
his heart; but once acknowledging it,
he was too honest and too manly to
take refuge in any but an open and an
honorable course.
Gas my mother said," he told him
self, "she is lady. Every act, every
gesture, betrays it; and better far that
1 should marry where my heart has
led than stoop to win woman for
her gold. When Nettie is mine we
will invite the other Nettie to Thor
burn again. Will she come, 1 wonder?
and has she, too, had loves young
dreams ere this?"
That very evening Nettie listened to
the few, frank words in which Captain
Harry told his love-listened with
flushed cheek and down-bent head.
But when he would have drawn her
to his heart, she resisted the loving
effort and held herself erect.
''What is the love you would offer
your mothers maid?" she said.
''The same that l hope to offer my
mothers daughter" he replied, ''if,
my darling, you will be that daughter
and my wife.
"And what does your mother say?
Ask herr' she persisted.
"She echoes her sons prayer, said
a voice from the open doorway.
One swift glance Nettie gave toward
Mrs. Ellison; then, going to meet her.
drew her into an easy-chair and fell at
her feet.
''Listen first to my confession, y
said Nettie, brokenly, ''and then tell
me whether 1 must go or stay"
And then, in quick, low voice, she
told the story through.
'Now," she said, when she had fin
ished, ''you know all. Must go, or
may stay?"
Low and sweet as an angels whis-
per fell the answer from her aunt's
lips;
"Stay, my darling,a as my daughterH'
And then it merged in words lower
and sweeter still, as her lover lifted
her to the shelter of his heart and muir
