Comfort for Invalids.

It is often the case that invalids and
persons infirm from age or other cause
suffer serious discomfort from the i'll
adaptation of their clothing. One
feeble gentleman has by experiment
succeeded in contriving and having
fashioned for him dress which is quite
satisfactory. Though long averse to
having any wooden fabric touch his
skin, he is now clad in wool from neck
to toes. First is sort of waistcoat or
sack reaching to and covering the hips,
buttoned down in front and having a
row of six large, fiat buttons about the
waist line for supporting the easy-fit-
ting drawers. Both garments are made
of very soft, lightweight flannel. The
two pieces are preferred to the comb
nation suit"-waist and drawers made
in one-as the wearer perspires pro-
fusely and changes the waistcoat sew
eral times day, with no need of
change of drawers. Besides, he likes
the added covering over the hips and
lower part of the spine. This suit, with
soft socks and short flannel outer
sack, constitutes the night dress as well
as the day underwear.-N. Y. Ledger.

The pESSIMISr.

A pessimist stood in garden fair .
Mid a glorious burst of bloom.
The stately lilies and roses rare
Gently swayed by the summer air
Scattered their rich perfume.
The bees buzzed soft near the messy wall
Where the honeysuckle grew,
The robins sang in the elm tree tall.
And the bright sun shining over all
Seemed adrift into sea of blue.
But the pessimist's brow was dark with
gloom,
And he muttered: Its all fraud.
This seeming beauty is but the plume
On the hearse. or the carving on the tomb
A glittering tinsel gaud.
What matter though skies are now so
clear
1t will rain some day, we know;
near
When frosty winter, so cold and drear.
Will come with it's sleet and snow.
1.-The world is blind! l, alone, can see
That life is sham, for-Say!
What's the use of a flower. or the use of
tree?
What's the use of bird. or the use of a
bee?
Or Of anything, anyway"
But while he grumbles the lilies swing
AS the bee sips his honeyed pelf;
The breezes whisper, the robins sing.
And the only apparently useless thing
Is the pessimist himself!

A Pulpit Anecdote.

DR.. Brewer, in his Dictionary OF
Phrase and Fable" tells the following
story: 1t is said that Sturgeon used to
practise his students in extempore
preaching from text only disclosed in
the pulpit. and that one of his young
men on reaching the desk and opening
the note containing his text, read the
single word: "Zaccheus." He thought
for minute or two, and then delivered
himself thus: "Zaccheus was little
man, SO am L; Zaccheus was up tree,
SO am l; Zaccheus made haste and come
down, and so do He suited the
action to the word.

Skeletons with Tails.

A discovery of wonderful interest to
the followers of the Darwinian theory
Of evolution was made not long since
near the little village of Sinaloa, Mex,
while workmen were preparing the
ground of new coffee plantation.
This wonderful chronological find con-
sisted of hundreds of skeletons of what
some believed to be prehistoric people
of very low order of intelligence. Each
of the skeletons is provided with the
bones of long, thick caudal appendage,
which in life turned up, like a SPUR

Land Redeemed by Cattle.

In eastern Australia hundred mil
lion sheep and great herds of cattle and
horses now feed upon pastures covering
fiat ground, which 30 years ago was a
desert of soft sand, so rotten" that the
feet sank at every step. This once
worthless ground has been beaten into
compact soil by the feet of the sheep
and cattle, and it is believed that other
great desert expanses in Australia may
be turned into productive pasture, and
in a similar manner.-Albany Journal

No wonder women weep. The wonder is
that they are not oftener in tears for all they
have to bear and suffer and the saddest
thing about it is how little their sufferings
are understood. Even the doctor, nine
times in ten says: ooh, little nervous
ness, that's all " or neuralgia" or "insom-
MIA" or dyspepsia" If he suspects the
real cause he insists upon examinations and
local treatment, about the very worst thing

yITASCOPE IN OPERATION
Some Details of tho Practical Workings of
This Optical Wonder.

The exhibition of the vitascope in con-
nection with the Ford companys engage
ment at the Crawford last week gave
many Of Wichita's theater goers their
first opportunity of seeing this, one OF
EdisOn's greatest inventions. IL proved
one of the notable hits of the season and
the audiences seemed never to tire OF see
ing il With the details of the practical
operation Of the vitascope, however, few
who saw il are really familiar and a de-
scription of some Of the essential features
might prove interesting. The vitascOpe
was made possible by the introduction of
roll films as a substitute for dry plates
in photography. An adaptation of the
roll films 10 the requirements of the vita
scope was found to be not very diff
cult matter. A series Of pictures is made
in rapid succession on a long strip of the
sensitized celluloid I'm. BY making a
transparent print of this band OF mega
tives and causing it to pass rapidly be-
fore the eye the motion Of the original in
real life is exactly reproduced. This re-
suit is accomplished by taking snapshots
of the object at a given fraction OF a sec
ond. BY passing these pictures very
rapidly through the viewing instrument
there is given TO the eye the senSal ton OF
one picture in which the objects pass
through the same motions as those Of the
original subject. This was the kineto-
scope, and its practical operation was not
a Very difficult matter.
There were many difficulties in the
substitution of the vitascope or biograph
for the kaleidoscope, Of which one OF the
greatest was the doing away with the
Little defects that passed unnoticed in the

an easy matter. but better films, better
negatives and improvements in a hun
