HE GOT HIS ANSWER.
But II GWasVeryiDineren from What
He Expected.


| He Expected.
AS the train pulled out of Chicago a
quiet, gentlemanly looking man entered
! the buffet car, and, esconcing himself
| in a comfortable chair, drew out long
cigar and entered deeply into his paper
He remained so quiet and retained his
seat so long that another passenger,
whose bearing distinctly stamped him
as commercial travelling mar, one OF
the kind full of chatter and curiosity,
could no longer restrain himself. Ad-
dressing the quiet gentleman he in
| quired: Travelling east?"
Slowly removing his cigar the gen.
tleman turned and looked at his ques-
toner with slightly raised eyebrows,
replying: yes"
New York;"
"Yes."
'Pleasure?"
"Yes and no."
"Great place, New York. Ever been
there before?"
no"
I'm going home this trip - New
York, you know"
The gentleman made no reply, but re-
sumed his paper. After little silence
the commercial mia began again:
''I'm with c. & Co., on Broadway. If
you drop in I'll show you over the city"
Thank you, it will not be necessary"
Excuse me, but might 1 ask what
you're going to New York for?"
By this time most Of the other pas
sengers were interested. The gentle
man, who was extremely annoyed at
the drummer's curiosity, laid down his
paper and exclaimed:
I'm going to New York, first, be-
cause the train is taking me there;
second, because I've got lots OF money
and can afford it; and last, because il
like the place intend to buy it."

aroar oflaughter.-Philade Times.

what Typhoid Fever Costs.

y correspondent of the Washington
Post gives tho following appalling ty-
phoid statistics: Every year in the
United States 400, 900 people are sick
with typhoid fever Forty thousand of
thcm die. They are sick 2S days on an
average out of every 365 days Thus
we have ll,200, 900 days of sickness
from this disease.
Every ease of this sickness means one
month, generally two months, of idle
ness. If the wages of tho patient are
only 90 cents II day, there is u loss of
SO month. Generally this sickness
means n loss of wages in two months
time of 500 or $50 The average loss of
wages for six weeks would be $50. Add
to this the doctors bill, which is any
where from $50 to $l00-we will say
$50. II the patient lives in the city and
has a trained nurse for only three weeks,
there is another $l5 Ten dollars for
tho prepared food, ice. milk, etc,
brings this moderate bill up to $l65.
Multiply this by tho number of people
sick, and we can SEQ every year i'll the
United States 500, 900, 900 lost to pa
tionts by the inroads of this one disease.

TIE LOBSTER TANK.
An Aquarium Exhibit That Many View
WIN Lively Interest.

There are few tanks at the aquarium
more interesting than that containing
the Holsters The Holsters there now are
not great, like some Of the monsters
that have been exhibited, but they are
lively and in good condition, and the
display of their characteristics as they
move about or pause to eat is almost
startling to one unfamiliar with the
lobster in life.
Whoever has picked up live lobster
in market and found the big claws
dropping, as they will if the lobster
hasn' much life left in him, is sure to
be interested when he sees the lobster
here walking off briskly ON his slender
legs, carrying his big claws in front Of
him clear of the ground and his heavy
tail clear likewise. His ordinary man
ner of progression is forward, and when
he turns he swings his heavily weighted
projecting ends with facility, but if he
meets an obstruction or an enemy his
usual way is to dart backward and per
haps diagonally upward through the
water, which the lobster can do with
great suddenness
The lobster's feeding apparatus is
wonderful About the month there are
lots of little attachments, all the time
in motion when the lobster is feeding,
which slice the food off in little shreds
as the lobster holds it up to his mouth.
If another lobster should come up, this
lobster would know it, even though the
other came up behind or at the side, and
would turn to defend himself or to fight
or to flee or to warn the other away.
The Holsters long feelers he can pro-
ject one III one direction and the other
in another, and with these, as he moves
forward, back or sidewise, he guards
against danger.
There are perhaps dozen Holsters in
the tank. In the center of the tank there
is little rock There is likely to be
seen upon this rock little lobster, not
a dull, old lobster lying down, but an
alert young lobster standing up and sup
porting easily his big claws and his
powerful tail-a young lobster ready to
eat, to fight or to run away. New York
