INITIATING THE DOCTOR
Realistic Representation Of Common
Tvpe of Healer

A certain Cleveland attorney has two
bright little children. They are quick at
Imitation and have talent for making up
games in which they cleverly burlesque
their elders. A few days ago their mamma
found they were playing doctor" The
youngest child was the patient, with head
wrapped in a towel, and the older the ply
sician, with silk hat and cane. The
mother. unseen by the little ones, listened
at the doorway.
II feels awful bad" said the patient.
"Well fix all that" said the doctor.
briskly "Lemme see your tongue"
Out came the tiny red indicator.
Hum, hum; coated" said the doctor,
looking very grave indeed.
Then, without a word of warning, the
skilled physician hauled off and gave the
patient a smart slap in the region of the
ribs.
"Ouchv cried the sufferer.
Feel any pain there!" inquired the doc
tor.
"Yes." said the patient.
IT thought So" said the healer "How's )
the other sidc?'
Its all right" said the patient, edging
away.
Thcreupon the doctor produced a small
bottle filled with what looked like either
bread OF mud pills and placed it on the ta-
BILE.
Take one of these pillets," the physician
said, "dissolved in water. every seventeen
minutes-al- -ter-niit-ly."
"How long mus l take'em?" groaned the
patient.
"Til you die" said the doctor. Good
morning. ."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A Queer French Marriage

The marriage OF the son of M. Deb
lier, the public executioner of France. took
place recently before the mayor of the Six
teenth reimbursement. The ceremony was
purely civil in character. only thirteen wit
nesses being present. NJ. Beblier, or, as ne
Is more familiarly known, Monster de Par
is, has already been described in these col
umns not only as the most aged official
executioner in the world, but likewise the
one person who had probably put more hu-
man beings out of existence than any other
living man. There is sort OF gruesome
atmosphere of a forbidding character
which seems to surround the public execu-
TONERS of Europe. They are usually men
of fine self-culture and education, retiring
in disposition and plainly respectable bour-
geois in their domestic relations. Being
denied the privilege Of the society around
them by the character Of their profession,
they have a society of their own which is
as exclusive as that Of royalties, for they
visit each other in ceremonious fashion and
intermarry. Thus NJ Deblier is a second
cousin by marriage Of the headsman sf
Prussia, and his wife was the daughter OF
the executioner of Algiers. descendant
of the famous Samson, who guillotined
Marie Antoinette and her royal spouse,
Louis XVI. But the son OF the present
Monsieur de Paris, Joseph Francois Deb
ler, has made, as 1t were, morganatic
marriage by seeking his wife-Rosahe
Roges-outside the families of execution
ers She was formerly a cigar maker in one
Of the government factories. She is q and
her husband is 35. According to the mar
riage settlement NJ Deblier gives as
dowry to his wife the sum Of 40,000f. He
will probably succeed his father before
long. For the last ten years he has been
the old gentleman's assistant in all execu-
tions Of note.

Origin of the Cake Walk

The cake walk properly had its origin
among the French negroes of Louisiana
more than a century ago. There is little
doubt it is an off-shoot of some of the old
French country dances. 1t resembles
several of them in form. From New Or
leans it spread over the entire south. and
thence north. 1t was found of convenience
to the plantation negroes.
At cake walk man might legitimatels'
show his preference for a woman, and thus
publicly claim her for a wife. In effect tho
cake walk was not different from the old
Scotch marriage, which required only pub
lie acknowledgement from the contracting
parties. So this festival became. in COM
mon sense a wooing. an acceptance or re.
lection and a ceremony. This explains its
popularity with the blacks. outside of rs
beauties, with the accompaniment of music.
which is competent at all times to command
negro support.
Cake walking has improved, as do most
things that are constantly practiced. 1t
las lost it's old significance in the south.
Negroes now get married, when they mar
rv at all. in the white folks fashion. 1t has,
however, become pantomine dance. Prop
erly performed, 1t is beautiful, one. The
cake is not much of prize, though the neg
no has sweet tooth.-New Orleans Times
Democrat.

More Straw to Eat

Numerous complaints have been made
regarding the treatment given the horses
in the corral on North Main street at the
old Kuhrts street bridge. 1t was said that
the animals were never fed, but were kept
until the proprietor of the corral was ready
to have them killed for fertilizer and their
hides. Whether the exploitation of the
matter in the newspapers or some other
reason caused a change, visit to the cor
raj yesterday showed that quantity of
old straw had been put in the corral 1oi
feed for the poor animals. This straw
looked as IL 1t had previously served for
bedding for the work horses, and at best
there was small nourishment in 1t. 1t Is
probable, however, that the proprietors
of the corral reason that as hay is un-
usually high this year. and horses CORES
pondingly as cheap, the old ones, which
are bought to kill, are not worth the neces-
sary extra outlay for feeding them.

in the moral and physical status of college
graduates has taken place since the intro

fact, the honor list Of any college, IL ex-
amined, will show the names of prominent
athletes among the few who have earned
that proud distinction. There is no reason
why ''brain and Drawn" should be antag-

Statistics of the Blind in Europe

A Russian medical journal has just pub
lished a series of statistical articles show
ing the number of blind persons In Europe.
French scientists, while not doubling the
truth of the figures, consider them some
what remarkable. OF the 100000 totally
blind persons in Europe, 1000 are in Rus
sia-that is to say, one out of every 700
subjects of the czar is blind. 1t is be-
leved that this unfortunate proportion is
equaled by no other country in the world.
The proportion in France, England, Ger
many, Italy and Spain is recorded as lit
tie less than one to every 1000 Of popua-
ton. The Russian physicians who COM
piled the statistics attribute the great
number of blind persons in Russia to the
bad hygienic state of peasant life, to the
intense cold and to the glare of the sun
on the snow, which the Russian rustic
takes pride in facing. 1t is reported that
the total number Of blind persons In the
world is 1000 OOOO.-New ork Times.
