THAT FAMILY CLOSET.
And the Various Kinds of Skeletons That
 Abide Therein

Abide Therein.
 Every family has its skeleton. We know that, of course, anatomical speci- mems, neatly put together and stored away in D secure cupboard, of which only family members have the key--a skeleton key, probably. Only when the family is alone, with no visitors about, does 1t go to the door cautiously and unlock 1t and bring the bony occupant forth. The family knows it's own skele- ton, but outsiders are supposed to be in total ignorance of its existence, and if they are wiser than people think them and of course they always are--it is only ? point of politeness to pretend to be hind and deaf.
 Of how many kinds are family skele- te1s? The Joneses possessed an uncle who died insane. You can't go near the Jones cupboard, or, in other words, even hint at the subject Of hereditary insanity i'll their presence, without the skeleton audibly knocking its bones to- gether and all the Joneses turning pale. You can't mention Turkish bonds to the Browns without their jaws suddenly falling you can t think why. And when drink statistics form the cheerful sub- Ject of conversation at the Robinsons' table you observe with wonder that all the family grow uncomfortable and writhe in their chairs. You haven't the faintest notion why, but the skeleton has
 ] met man once at dinner party who was perfectly sane upon every point on earth but one, and on that he was the opposite He could talk about politics, science, art, Shakespeare and the musical glasses, but if by any chance the conversation touched on dueling he went straight off his head then and there.
 Dueling was the skeleton in his cup board, and the reason was one that can not be enlarged upon here. On one day ill every year he shut himself up in his house and was not seen by mortal eye. That was the one day when his slzele- ton came out and stalked about.
 Many people have what seems to the general public harmless enough skele- ton, but it is real and ghastly to them selves. It is of humble origin. Itis sur prising the pains people will take to conceal that their grandfathers were poor, but honest, the lies they will tell (which only proves that the grandpar- ent's qualities have not descended ill the direct line) and the meannesses they will indulge in, in the pitiable effort to hide the fact that two generations ago they kept Q small greengrocer's shop or wore plush and powder. After all, the longer the line the more certain it is to contain ancestors who won their bread by the sweat of their face.
 If all the world were not descended from the same grand old gardener, there might be more common sense i'll trying to forget honest oil.-English Exchange.

Irish DueIing Code.

The Irish dueling code has been adopted with certain notifications by drelists both in England and the Unit ed States. It was drawn up by the Irish bar at the Clonmel assizes in 1777 and appears to aim at so arranging matters that no Irishman anxious to fight shall be baked hy his wish "The first of fense requires the first apology, al- though the retort may be more offen- sive." After one fire the retort may be explained away. But if either par ty,' the code hastens to add 'swould rather fight on, after two shots each the principal who made the retort may explain and then the original offender tender his apology, "When the lie direct is the first otfense, the aggressor must either beg pardon in express terms, exchange two shots previous to apolo gy, or three shots followed by ex- planation, CT fire on till q severe hit be scored by one of the parties. , ''No dumb firing, or firing in the air, is admissible. y "In slight cases the sec- ond hands his principal but one pistol in gross cases two, holding another case ready charged in reserve.

Contrary Effects of the Absence of One on
 a Friend of Colonel CaIlfper.
 'tI knew a man once, said Colonel Cal1iper, "a young man who had ev- erything that heart could wish for who notwithstanding that fact was a pretty sane and sensible sort of young man, but who nevertheless did at times :n his younger days before he had learn ed the philosophy of life occasionally have periods of depression In one of these on his way home once from Eu- rope he came to the conclusion that life wasn't t worth living, and he made up his mind to end it all right there by jumping overheard. As he looked over the rail and realized how wet the Wa ter was and how much there was of it he knew that he ought not to go out in it without q macintosh.
 "Going below, he discovered that he had neglected to bring one. On this oe- easion of all others when he wanted one most he had none. But he couldn | think of encountering tho wet inappro- priately clad, and so he deferred jump ing overheard until he could do so in proper form.

 And, euriously enough, while in other respects he remained as punetil- ious as ever about his dress, he never after that wore macintosh, and he went ont in all sorts of weather with out hesitation. It was his carelessness in this regard that led finally to his death. Out without mackintosh in 8 heavy rain at the age of CT, he caught 8 cold that settled on his lungs, develop ed into pneumonia and carried him off, and so it may be said of my friend that he owed his long life and his death to the same cause.

CYCLING fiifs AND AND sss ASTHMA
A London Physician Says the Former wu.
 Cure the Latter.


 Dr. Marcel of London recommennz bicycle riding as remedy for asthma. Here IS what he says about 1t in let ter to The Medical Record: eff asthma IS a form of mountain sickness and if that distressing affection of high alti- tudes can be cured by training for the exercise of climbing, why should not asthma also yield to the training of the respiration carried out by practieing the respiratory movements needed to carry the tidal air through the lungs? Of all means of training respiration I think cycling is the best. When a person first takes a cycling exercise it will be found, especially on going ID hill, that the breath is wanting, the heart beats uncomtortably and the legs tire, but after training these discomforts disap- pear, nothing will be thought of ascend ing hills, the heart has become perfectly comfortable, all breathlessness has dis appeared and the legs will no longer feel any fatigue.
 Cycling exercise, first of all, in- creases the depth Of breathing, and that without fatigue, as the respiratory movements are automatic. At the same time it will aceustom the rider instinct lively to take i'll at each respiration the volume of air required to aerate the blood. Persons who do not care for cy- cling out of doors can take the same kind of exercise at home by means of a dummy cycle, consisting of an iron wheel driven by pedals, the resistance of the wheel being so contrived as to simulate bicycle riding A strap carried partly around the rim of the wheel can be frightened at will by the rider thus increasing the labor and recalling the effort of riding up hill. My experience of the results of this treatment is unfor- tunately limited to only one person. In this case it has proved eminently suc- cessful. This person took to bicycle rid ing three years ago for pleasure and in very great moderation for the first two years. He observed that the attacks of asthma to which he was subject became fewer. The tightness and wheezing which occurred every night have now entirely disappeared ?

4 Rather Rough Experience That Taught
 an Artist Lesson.
 An artist who is we'll known i'll a northern city used occasionally to put on his shabbiest clothes and penetrate to the slums in search of inspiration for his brush. On one of these excursions he stopped to watch the efforts of rag ged urchin who was disflguring the pavement of a squalid street with a piece of soft blue stone and, although the figures which the lad drew were grotesque, the artist was struck with their originality and began to take an interest in their development.
 That's right, my boy! Make your lines clear and never mind the details. Champion! What You don know how to sketch that old mans head? Then give me the chalk. I'll show you.
 The next moment the enthusiastic artist was ca his knees, and with the piece of stone had quickly drawn a clever picture. Before he could com mence another sketch, however, he felt stunning blow on the head, and a shrill female voice cried:
 Take yer bloomln hook, ye great, good for nought hulk What dye mean by messin up t'hags at I've just wash ed? ;Tain't no wonder at t kids do it when a senseless old idiot like yerself sets 'em t'example. Be off, or I'll SCOUT t'pavement wi yer ugly carcass"
 The artist hurriedly dodged another boot, sprang to his feet, and, without waiting to argue the matter, sneaked ignominiously off. He vows that he will mind his own business when next he goes stunning. London Telegraph.

Scoville secures contract, and he is getting all the big ones these days, he thoroughly masters the details Of it, and his expert employees do the rest. The iCb is not declared to be com pleted until Scoville himself, who stands second to no plumber in the country, gives it thorough inspection.
