Jewels FoR THE HEALrH.

A new fad in healing has made its APP
pearance In New York. 1t is imported,
hence 1t will have New York's respectful
attention. 1t must necessarily be exclu-

feasible plan for distinguishing them
selves from the common herd.
The jewel cure is>the fad. A Nine. Hon

these shores Whence she came is iudicat-

treated Bernhard, Modjeska, the Duchess
of Marlborough and other celebrities. She
does not prescribe any Cd jewel for any
old complaint, but after a careful diagno-

with as much confidence as an allopath

Like all well-balanced scientists and
diplomats, the jewel doctor declines to
given a few offhand remarks on the treat
ment which are not devoid of interest.
Amethysts, she says, will cure habitual
drunkenness. That ought to be good news
to the FOUNDERS and those who
heretofore have fixed their hopes upon the
Kelley cure. Amethysts are comparative
ly cheap, and any drunkard ought to be
willing to wear all kinds of amethysts in
every possible manner for the sake of es-
Gaping from his unnatural appetite. Dia-
monds are good for the nerves. Possibly
that accounts for the hauteur and mag
nihcent aplomb with which very many
diamond bedeoked women carry them
selves and for the monumental nerve dis

about in the funny papers. For melan-

fumes from them inhaled. However. as

WHO Talkes the Ca.e a Romance OF

who Takes the Cakes-A Romance of
the Cook Book.
BY Emily Ford.
Brave Johnny Cake a wife would take
And for this very reason
He sa7lies forth a choice to make
In the sweet summer season.
And as he strolls the setting sun
Is painting bright the skies;
To view its glory Sally Lunn
Is walking forth likewise.
The same excuse brings Charlotte Russo,
The rival fair of Sally,
o, John, youll rue, If twixt the two
You stop to dilly daily
They both are dressed in golden brown,
1t is In form they differ,
For one is broad as she is long,
While one is round and clipper.
A slice of Inmost heart the twain,
Have won from simple John,
WHOM take the cake" and win the swain
It's hard to settle on.
Which of these two has more of mind?
Which hath the tender heart?
If only this our John can find.
From her he'll never part.
But while he ponders-who comes here?
'Tis frothy SILLY Bub"
He'd spoil the whole, and never fear
To give good John rub.
Whipped Cream, quoth he, has fed away
(Of late he had a beating);
Look in the heart of Charlotte Russo,
Youll find him snugly sleeping.
Sir Cream is rich, she knows full well;
He's safe within her keeping;
So Sally dear Is Feft for me,
How fortunate this meeting!
But John replies. you silly Bub,"
Let Cream unite with Charlotte,
But Sally will not take cub,
Who's nothing but a marplot.
With that he turns TO Sarah Lunn,
In terms both straight and fervent,
Declares that now, for good or i'll,
He's evermore her servant.
She smiles on him, his upper crust
SWells with the joy within him,
And cherish her he will and must:
May nothing come between theml
And on the happy marriage morn,
Mid wedding beFls' glad sound,
A golden maize of happiness
Wraps Johnny Cake around.
A fioury bride is dainty Lunn,
And proudly does she take
Another name, and with 1t, too.
Sure Sally Takes the Cake!

Oriental He awoke one morning to find
himself the imperial sovereign Of the most
populous nation on the face Of the earth
He was the lord and master Of the lives
and fortunes of 40O,OoOOOO Chinese sub
jects. He could, by the dropping OF an
eyelash, order the decapitatlon of the pop
ulation of city and the conhscation of
the property Of the victims. All of the
rulers Of the different countries of the
world were held by the customs and ira
ditions of his court TO be his vassals. Yet
he was actually the most powerless prince.
the most pitiabie puppet, known to civil
ization. He had no liberty, no independ-
ence, no happiness. He lived his few
years virtually a prisoner within his own
palace, and then-ceased 20 exist. There
is talk of strangulation, OF poison, and
other means to the end. At all events his
was an Oriental life. fun Of the romance
and tragedy of the far East.

Louis bent over again and put his thirsty

"Oh, yes reared the other, and Louis

while the boys exploded with laughter.
Louis sprang at Martin, shaking his

grappled with him fiercely. But after

Louis got his paper out and stood ready
to march up with Martin.
But where was Martins paper? He was
sure it was in his algebra. No: we'll In his

Louis turned red then pale. Then he

Eugene Debs has reached the conclusion
that there is no tyranny worse than that
of trades unions. He says he would not
again be at the head of a union for $100 900
a year, because the power which goes
with the head office of q union makes the
holder of it tyrant By being independ-
ent, he says he can speak his honest
convictions" which, 1t seems, he could not
do otherwise. Still, Debs has done very
great deal toward building up trades
