WAL OF A FLAT DWELLER.
MT. Werkenday's Remarks on New York
 Apartment Bathrooms.


 Apartment Bathrooms.
 "A long and bitter experience in apartments forces me to observe" said MT. Werkenday, shivering as he hopped on the oilcloth of tho bathroom with his bare feet, "that the architects who plan the ordinary flat of commerce do not bathe. Idon't judge this from their appearance, because they are partlcu- larly clean and nice lot of men. But l cannot believe that any one with the least respect for the importance of the bathroom could treat it with such ar shitectural stepfatherliness.
 "It always is showed away in a dark corner as far from the bedrooms and as near the parlor or dining room as possi- ble. It always is dark and ventilated by an airshaft up which there blows perpetually a dismal draft that has something on its mind and groans about it all the time. It ought to have some- thing on its mind, for it is sure kill er Then, of course, the bathroom, be- ing the only place ill the house where one takes off all his clothes and gets wet all over, is the place which most frequently has no heating appliances.
 Again, why do so many architects build the washstand in the hallway in- stead of in the bathroom, where it be- longs? don't know whether they think that a man eniovz taking his bath in sections or whether lhey act on the theory that he ought to take 1t gradual ly, preparing himself for the bathtub
 ''I asked an architect once why he did it. Well, said he, we hardly ever do differently except in private houses.
 Has only the privateer, then, as the Europeans call him, the right to take a complete bath IL ono room, Or has evo- lution produced species of flatters who naturally are incapable of doing it?
 "I suppose that the smallness of bath tubs is explained by the lack of room. Of course every fiathouse bathtub is too small for any one except an infant, and 1 have noticed, not without some awe, that in each new fiat into which we move the bathtub is smaller than it was in the one preceding. AS am growing stouter each year, genuine misfortune for one whose finances make third or fourth fiat necessary, am sure that if we make two or three more moves we will, on this scale of bathtub decrease, find bathtub into which I will not be able to get at all.

Children new to California should be

Children new to California should be cautioned against eating castor beens. Three children at Coronado and their nurse were severely poisoned recently by eating them. Speaking of the incl dent, the San Diego Union says: "It requires double handful of the beans to make dose of castor oil, and yet three beans have been known to kill a man. There is bitter principal in the covering Of the bean that is very poi sonous, and gives a most agonizing colic."

No More Whistlinp,

An old gentleman recently remarked as to how much less whistling Is now heard on the streets than when he was a boy. Why" said he, "when was an apprentice lad we all WhlstIed' There was whistling, whistlng by eV- cry bright young lad you met belng asked how he accounted for the change in this respect, he replied: Well will tell you one reason. Our young Iads can't whistle now because they have ciparettes in their mouths" And there ,s too much truth in that remark.

The Usual Way.

There are some society girls who like to marshal together all the trophies of a season, in the shape of euchre prizes. german favors and invitations galore to all sorts of functions, where they may be seen of men and bring green eyed glances of jealousy into the eyes of other girls not favored quite so much. but the uueerest effort of this kind that ever came under the notice of the writ CT was a pyramid of empty candy boxes stacked up from floor to ceiling ina sar. ner of the parlor. The largest was, of course at the base. and there was every make and sUyle, -r2.a-,Iaiiy diminishing to the top. This flashing girl, with the immense capacity for destroying candy, excepted every male visitor to add to the number as she started q plant in each of the other corners of the room. Of course tremendous rivalry went on among her visitors and admirers to get the finest and most unique native and imported boxes. Strange to say, she married man who had never added a lone box to the pile, but he helped to destroy some of the most toothsome offerings of other fellows.-New Or leans Times Democrat

A TEST FOR HORSEFLESH.
But Even a Chemist Cannot Always Rec.
 ORnize 1t.

People are apt to jump at conclu- sions," said Q chemist in speaking of the latest notable murder case. "Chem- istry is very nice science, but it is possible to make some sad blunders in applying it to law and evidence. There are certain things you can prove by it if you are sure of your premises and certain other things that you cannot. This thing of trying to prove good deal by chemistry calls to mind the beef extract case that gave packer in this city considerable uneasiness.
 Somebody got hold of his beef ex tract and claimed that it was made from horsefesh, and 1t was proved by andy sis-that is, to the satisfaction of the man that analysed it The ordinary test for h0rsefesh, according to the authOri- tles, IS gfycogeE. ms IS 6 substance that, speaking in Q general way, is found in horsefesh, but does not exist in beef, and it was shown that this par ticular extract contained glycogen.
 1.-The packer came to us in some dis tress of mind for way out of the diffi- culty He said his extract was made of nothing but beef, and he wanted Cs to help him prove it, and we did so to his relief and to the satisfaction of the health officers. We demonstrated that, while an ordinary piece of beef did not contain glycogen, it existed in the heart, liver and blood of cattle, and some of each of these might have en- tered into the making of the beef ex- tract. The result was that the chemist who had arrived at such sweeping con- clusions from the first test had to back down from his position. '-C"icago Times Herald.

KODAK IDENTIFICATION.
Little Camera Led to Meeting of Long
 Separated Brothers.

Separated Brothers,
 Two brothers named Wilcox were graduated at Ann Arbor. Just after that event they went hunting in north ern Michigan. One day William left their camp and did not return. The woods were searched, streams dragged and lakes sounded, but no trace of the missing man was found. Weeks, months and years went by and nothing appeared to prove that William Will cox was yet among the living. The brother began his career as a teacher and advanced rapidly in his profes- sion, with only one sorrow, that of lest brother, intensified in time by the death of their parents. The latter left considerable estate, but as the death or William could not be proved it's set uement was delayed.
 A camper in northern Wisconsin re- gently returned with some photo graphs. One was of hermit seen there. A woman who saw 1t recogniz- ed it as that of William Wilcox. The camper said of the hermit: "He was a line conYerSationaliSt, and through his ways and all the outer debasement of tramp we could detect the gentleman and man of learning. Of himself he would not speak a word, except that his name was Wilcox and that his

AN ABsENT-MINDED MAN.
Results of Learned Professor Losing Himself in Realms of Thought.


 When I was younger than will ever be again." said the professor with a three-story head and eyeglasses or telescopic power, q was the victim or such intense mental abstraction that removed myself entirely from the world of practical affairs. I was in the boundless realms of thought and paid but fieeting attention to the active field of human action. It was necessary to notify me when I should attend my class, eat my meals, and even when should retire.
 T was at one time requested to lec- ture in Western village, and agreed to do so. The theme was one that had received my best thoughts, and the mere prospect of delivering 1t was physical pleasure. When 1 arrived at the depot my thoughts were concen- trated upon the proposed address. realized that my train was an hour late and that I must hurry, but beyond the mere fact of hurrying I did not grasp a detail.

The picture of him was taken by two young men who were of our party The woman who recognized the picture sent 1t to a brother of Wilcox in New York, who then sent letter address ed to the hermit at the pOstOffice near est to his supposed locality in the Wis conSin forest. It was a letter full of pleading to return home, and telling him of the death of the father and mother. He was urged to come, as his presence in the Michigan town where the WilcoXes lived was necessary in settling the estate. After many weeks the missing man got the letter and an swered 1t; said that he would go to Ann Arbor, but that nothing could keep him in civilization again. He wanted no part of the estate, not so much as would pay his railroad fare. He would not ride home, but preferred to tramp 1t through the woods, across the straits of Mackinac, down to where they desired his presence. He came, signed away his share of the estate and went back at once to his Wisconsin hut.-Ohicago Chronicle.
