Fascinating John Bright.

Sir Wemyss Reid gives some interest
ing "reminiscences of John Bright in
Cassell's Magazine. The great Liberal
leader often sat in an old fashioned
armchair in the Reform club. He de-
lighted in talk and was fond Of repeat
ing poetry. On one occasion he began
to talk to Sir Wemyss about his favorite
hymns, and as he warmed to his subject
he repeated some Of them. Il was q
strange subject, perhaps, for club

TO observe that as he spoke with that
wonderful voice Of his the other men in
the room first looked up and began to

Defining ADpendicitis.

A teachers examination was held at
Seneca, Kan, at which one Of the ques-
tions in physiology was as follows:
"What is appendicitis, and what are its
causes and cures?" Below are given a
few of the answers as reported in the
Seneca Tribune:
''It is a disease of the appendix,
which is located somewhere between
the liver and the heart, the organ Of the
affections ~
Classification Of the marrow of the
longitudinal shaft bone.''
Appendicitis is sunstroke or over
heating, caused by a great heat. The
cure is to get the patient into cool
place, battle the face and hand with
water ~
lis the disease of appendice, caused
by want Of exercise, improper food,
clothing and ventilation.
Appendicitis is condition caused
by food substances lodging and causing
blockade in the digestive apparatus
It is cured by surgical operation, il
which the obstruction is cut away. A
theory is given that the appendix was
at one time tail on man and is not ye
evolved off. It is cut away by the sur
geOn.' p. ~ ..f-. r.

THE CAR ROLLED ON.

And He Was Still Nickel Ahead Of the
Woman In Black.
A red faced woman in black gown
and a black bonnet came aboard a Eu-
cid avenue car last Monday and seated
herself next to a young man whose face
was concealed behind Plain Dealer.
When the conductor came around,
she handed him ticket.
''Not good on this line, ma'am," he
said and handed it back.
The woman in black gave sniff.
"That's too bad,'' she said. II
s'posed it was just as good on this line
as any other. The conductor told me it
was. And I'm sure I haven't got any
more change. I'm goin out to my daugh-
ter's house. She's sent for me. She's
very sick and so anxious to see me. I
don't know what I'll do And she
shifted again. ii.
'Well,'' said the conductor coolly,
''I'm sorry, Of course, but no pay nc
ride And he reached for the bell.
The woman. in black looked at the
young man with the newspaper. He
met her gaze.
Madam he said, "I'll buy your
ticket for a nickel. -
The woman hesitated, and the con-
duotor smiled and furtively winked al
a fat man in the rear seat. The ex.
change was made. and the conductor
passed along.
II hoped" said the young man
"that your unfortunate daughter was
better by this time. !"
The woman in black darted la venom

DOCTORS AND SUICIDE.

Statistics Show q Peculiar Bond of Sym
patty Between the Two.
During the last three years, says The
Medical and Surgical Reporter of Phil
adelphia, nearly one-fftieth of all
deaths among physicians have been by
suicide. This is conservative estimate,
as many instances of death are attribut-
ed to accidental overdosing, as the tend
ency is always to hush up suicide
whenever possible. But without includ-
ing such cases, the fact remains that
the medical profession is more prone to
suicide than any other. These statistics
may be explained by TIE development
of morbid fancies in the mind of doc
tor on account Of his constant associa-
ton with the sick and dying. or of an
actual indifference to death, or because
he has the requisite knowledge Of how
to die conveniently and painlessly.
Poisoning is favorite method, but
it does not appear from statistics that
the cyanides or morphine have the pref
erence which would exist if epicurean
philosophy were carried into the choice
of drugs. At the same time, physicians
usually put their knowledge of drugs to
a practical execution in selecting a poi
son for suicide But if the mere knowl-
edge Of the painlessness of death by GER
tain means is not determining factor
in leading SO many physicians to sui
eide, probably the accessibility of poi
sons ia.
Suicide is largely a matter of insane
impulse, and such an impulse can often
be ascertained even in the case of those
who have long been Indifferent to life
and have contemplated suicide. If a
man must put on his hat and overcoat,
walk to drug store and tax his inge-
nuity for lie with which to explain his
desire for poison, he may postpone the
fatal act from mere inertia, or he may
meet friend or have his interest in life
aroused by one of a multitude of every.
day occurrences or physical exercise may
bring him to his senses. II, az 10 the
case with almost every doctor, he has
simply to feel in his pocket or walk
across his office to get deadly poison,
the impulse may be carried into execu.
ton before anything can happen to sup.
plant it in the brain.

Of the bounty clause. Though scarcely a
dozen democratic senators were on he lOOr,
Jones of Arkansas at once served notice that
such an important amendment could not be
attached to the bill without debate. and he
then and there served notice on the repub-
licaus that If they attempted to pass the
amendment it would be only at tAe end Of the
summer Temporarily the amendment was
laid aside only to be Withdrawn later by
Senator 1hurston. This seemed to clear the
atmosphere for the moment until Senator
Allen renewed the amendment in his name
and insisted upon vote, There was a dTa-
matte scene, greatly aCcontuated by Jones
