DRAW HIM OUT.
The Finest Art of Filtration Il Adapta-

b lily.
The finest art of Irritation is adapta-
bility, says Lippincott's. I do not mean
altogether to mold ones self after the
mind or mood of the object of ones
solicitude, but as rapidly as possible to
discover the broad lines of his or her
character and disposition, then, with
the courage of military leader, turn
the force of our friend, the enemy, il,
that channel which may best please
ones own intelligence and purpose.
With a little executive ability, and, in
case the object be a man, just tinge
of judicious fattery, this can be accom-
plished. Sometimes, of course, we run
our heads against d stone wall; then
something must go, and il is generally
not the wall. This is as fatiguing u
process in the mental faculties as
standing ON tiptoe is to the muscles
of the foot; but the mental exercise,
like the athletic, has it's advantages.
The rider of one hobby has generally
another in training, if not in actual
use; and the man who cannot make
himself interesting on either of the
subjects that most absorb his own in
terests is not worth ones solicitude,
and therefore proves nothing. "Sup-
pressed stupidities avail themselves of
extraordinary opportunities to come to
light" says Heine. But there are few
people in the world, except those who
Ey undue garrulousness give an un-
necessarily emphasized illustration OF
inbecility, and will not, if taken in the
right spirit and treated with a certain
Indulgence prove entertaining from
one standpoint or another.

One Woman's Ready Wit.

A young woman who lives near a
railway crossing, looking out of win
dow the other day, saw a laborer jump
from one track to the other to escape
an approaching freight train. He was
apparently dazed by terror and stood
still, not seeing that an express train
was rushing down upon him. The girl
saw that before she could make him
understand his danger it would be too
late. She therefore threw up her arms,
shrieking wildly: Help! help! help!'
trusting to the impulse which sends a
man on the instant to the relief of a
woman in distress. ''Tm coming!'
shouted the laborer, springing toward
her in time to escape the engine as it
rushed past. He stared back at it, and
then at the woman crying and laugh

SIRANGEsT OF FISHES.
A Marine Wonder at the Columbia Uni
versity.


A Marine Wonder at the Columbia Uni
versity.
There is an animal at Columbia uni
versitv which has neither ears, eyes,
head nor heart
The absence Of the head and heart is
naturally the odd feature of this strang'
creature, which biologists call lance
let. One of them is now being exper
mented on in Columbia university
biological laboratory, says the San
Francisco Examiner.
Although this wonder looks good
deal like a fish, it is really an animal
for there is just as much difference be-
tween the lancelet and salmon, Tor
instance, as there is between man and
an ordinary bird.
Epicureans with a sweet tooth for
fish will hail with delight the prospect
of having all the lakes and rivers OF the
country stocked with the lancelet, for
in their entire body there is not a bone.
True, there is kind of backbone rum
ming the length of the body, but as this
bone is not bone at all, but only q
strip of what ordinary mortals would
call gristle, no trouble with fishbones
can follow from the attempt to eat the
animal when a. man is in hurry TO
catch an "L" express.
Still another advantage exists to a
man who wants to eat the lancelet in
iiffy. This advantage is, perhaps, lone
BETTER than the absence of bones
Every mans eyes perform the function
of an X-ray machine in good working
order, for the lancelet is absolutely
transparent in every section of its ex-
traordinary corpus.

THE CHERRY PICKERS" TO-
 The Cherry Pickers," which had such a phenomenal run in New York last season and met with such success in the adjacent towns and cities, comes to the Hyperion tonight and to-mor- row night. It is said to be a great scenic production, and Manager Pitou guarantees that the performance here will be precisely the same as that giv- en at the Fourteenth Street theater, New York, during it's long run there. All the favorities of the original cast will be seen here.
 MT. Arthur has given the stage an ad- mirable picture of life in India during the Afghan war of 1S79-S0. In this lat est, and in many respects the best, work of MT. Arthur we have roman tic melodrama teeming with dramatic incidents and bright comedy. It is es- pecially noticeable for lack of the forced and unnatural climaxes usually introduced to give plays of this class dramatic strength, all of the situations and great effects being introduced with due regard for the proprieties. The scenery is elaborate and appropriate, and, together with the rich costuming, gives the play particularly Oriental flavor.
 The placing of experienced and able actors in comparatively unimportant roles has always been factor in the success of Augustus Pitou. He has done this in "The Cherry Pickers" in several conspicuous instances. Among the members of that superb organiza- tion are Ralph Delmore, Robert T. Haines, Nat Jones, Frank Inslee, R. V. Ferguson, William P. Sprague, Calvin Tibbetts, George Brennan, Stella Zan- on, Jennie Satterlee and Gertrude ! Dawes.

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh, to Sleep We'll, to Know What Appetite and Good Digestion Mean, Make Test of
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an lndian-
 apolis Gentleman.

| No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia, People having it think that their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicine and spring remedies the real seat of the mischief is lost sight of; the stomach is the organ to be looked after | Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach, nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much as in nearly every other organ; in some cases the heart palpitates and is irregular; in others the kidneys are affected; in others the bowels are con- stipated, with headaches; still others are troubled with loss of flesh and ap- petite, with accumulations of gas, sour risings and heartburn.
 Mn. A. w. Sharper of No. 6i Prospect street, Indianapolis, Ind. writes as follows "A motive of pure gratitude prompts me to write these few lines regarding the new and valuable medi- cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I have been sufferer from nervous dys- pepsia for the last four years, have used various patent medicines and other remedies without any favorable result. They sometimes gave tempo lary relief until the effects of the med icine Wore off. I attributed this to my sedentary habits, being q bookkeeper l with little physical exercise. but I am glad to state that the tablets have overcome all these obstacles, .or l have gained in flesh, sleep better, and am better in every way.
