Smoked the Samples.

There was given the other day in an
up town street an illustration of the way
in which articles are often bopelessly per-
verified from the uses for which they were
intended by their makers. 1t was at the
noon luncheon hour. The Italian laborers
who, in accordance with the prevailing
fashion, were engaged in tearing up the
pavement had suspended their labors and
were partaking of their midday meal as
they sat on the sidewalks and the steps Of
the houses.
Presently man who carried large
basket came around the corner He start
ed down the street. distributing from the
basket at each house small package OF
one of the new cereal products at present
being advertised as greatly superior to
coffee as beverage. He merely laid these
packages on the window stills and did not
ring the doorbells After him at distance
followed one of the Italians, evidently
deputed to the task by his companions
He carefully gathered up all of the sam
pies and carried them to where the group
of workmen sat. Clearly the Italians
knew what the packages contained, for
they were opencd-not curiously, but in a
matter of fact way. The brown, finely
ground contents were transferred prompt
ly into the pipe bowls of the assemblage,
and. having been set alght, were soon GO
ing up i'm smoke, affording as much pleas
ure apparently to the sons of toll rs IL the
cereal substitute for coffee had been the

The Gripman's Foes.

There has always been one driver that
the cable Rripman has let have his own
way, and that is the driver of the giant
truck with the load of iron beams. The
power in the engine that moves the cable
is ample to brush away the great truck as
it would hand cart. But there would
need to be adequate means of applying It.,
and this the cable car does not supply.
Heavy as it is, it is not nearly so heavy as
the big truck with the iron beams In a
collision with that the car would be
wrecked and left behind, while the cable
sung merrily on below. The gripman
knows this, and SO, while he bangs tho
gong, he doesn't really mean to 60 on un-
til the driver of the great truck has turned
out.
There is now another moving thing that
the gripman docs not try to brush off the
face of the earth, and that Is the ponder
Gus road roller such as Is used In the city
In the making of asphalt pavements.
These rollers go from one part of the city
to another under their own steam lum-
bering along slowly, but with irresistible
power Sometimes they cross the cable
tracks or move along in the same street.
With road roller ahead the gripman
slams the gong as usual, but 1t Is purely
formal notice. There are now two men to
whom the gripman comedies the right of
way, the driver Of the giant truck with
the iron beams and the pilot OF the steam
road roller. New York Sun.

ton on poor unfortunate mortals she

them no worse off than they were.
One of Marquette's well known wheel
men had an experience of the sort one day
In the morning when he was riding out
Washington street to his work he espied n
half dollar lying in the road. OF course
he dismounted and picked the coin up.
That particular half looked like another
coin of similar denomination. No one
came along to claim it, and there was no
reasonable way he could have established
his ownership If he had.
That night when the wheelman rode
home from work the half dollar was jim

But here's where fate got in her work.

He took the bike to repair shop, and II
cost him just half dollar to get it fixed

cHLORAL.
The Use and Abuse of This Most Danger.
Gus Hypnotic Drug.

Choral Is the most popular hypnotic,
but is the one which most frequently gives
-trss to habit. Clergymen seem to be par
ticularly addicted To the formation of this
habit. When l opened the discussion on
hypnotics az this British Medical associa-
ton, / was taken to task for saying that
chloral was dangerous drug. yet 1t was
admitted that 1t WAS the custom to give
digitalis with the choral. Digitalis Is not
an antidote To the paralyzing effect of
choral when administered with IL, for the
action of digitalis is altogether too slow.
Gases were quoted In which patients had
taken large doses of choral and had sur
vived. but these exceptions prove nothing
and are no more an argument for the safe
ty Of cbloral than the fact that persons
have fallen from great heights and have
escaped injury Is an argument for jump
ing of high buildings. Choral Is not q
safe drug. Sooner or later choral will be
used In case of fatty degeneration Of the
heart, and the patient may be killed with
perhaps dose of only ten grains. 1t is
not safe drug certainly in the hands OF
such practitioners as would administer
digitalis at the same time. OF the substi-
tutes for choral butyl choral has been
abandoned
Professor Richet claims that chloralose
is a sedative SO far as the brain is con-
cerned, and "a stimulant so far as the
spinal cord Ia concerned. This is true of
dogs, but in fatal case seen in practice
the paralysis came from the heart, and
there were no symptoms that could be at
tributed TO overexcitability of the spinal
cord. There is safe deriyative Of chloral,
Observation-Disclosures The introduction
of the amide radical neutralizes to con-
siderable extent the depressing action on
the heart. 1t is fairly insoluble. and Is
therefore more prolonged in its action. 1t
is far safer than choral. 1t Is difficult to
form habit with chloralamide, yet
know of one instance in which the patient
developed the habit after taking 1t with
out my knowledge for year. The habit
was cured without great difficulty PRO

MARRIED MEN LIVE LONG.
Interesting Statistics Compiled by Noted
German Scientist.


German Scientist.
Persons who desire to live to good old
age will do we'll to take lesson from an
interesting work on the subject which has
been issued by DIR. Schwartz of Berlin.
The doctor has given much time to the
study of longevity, and the conclusions at
which he has arrived are based on statis-
tics which seem in all respects reliable.
He begins with the bold statement that
any one who desires to live for fourscore
and ten years should get married. In 9TH
er words, he claims that conjugal life Is
necessary condition of longevity. Here
are the statistics which support this state
ment: OF 200 persons who had reached the
age of 40 years the doctor found that 125
were married and as unmarried. OF 70
men who had reached the age of go years
he found that 4S were married and only
90 unmarried.
He next took 3S men, each Of whom
was in his SEVENTEEN year, and he found
that 81 were married and IL unmarried.
Finally he took IL men, each aged 30
years, and found that 9 were married and
unmarried. 1t may be claimed that no
sure conclusion can be drawn from statis-
tics of this nature, for the reason that the
institution of marriage Is spread all over
the world, and hence it is natural to find
the majority of persons married. DR..
sSchwartz in reply again brings forward
some curious statistics. These statistics
show that the mortality among bachelors
between the ages of 80 and As is as high as
"a per cent, whereas among those who
are married it does not exceed Is per cent.
ut is evident" says n French writer,
who has closely studied DIR. Schwartz S
statistics, "that we must acknowledge the
potency of these figures, and that, If we
desire to live to good old age we should
get married as soon as possible. We should
certainly do so If we wish to live full
century, for DIR. Schwartz cites the cases
of so centenarians, not one of whom Is a
bachelor. A curious fact, too, is that these
80 centenarians were all widowers. -

why Men Don't Fall on Their Knees.
Percentage In Oscillation.

An English scholar has been collecting
st ltistics I'm regard To the manner In which
men and women make love TO each other.
He informs the world that the number of
young Englishmen who embrace their
sweethoarts at the moment when they are
inviting them to become their wives
amounts to 80 per cent. On the other
hand, 81 per cent OF the men In love kiss
their sweethcarts on the lips at the critical
moment, while per cent shower kisses OH
their hair and 2 per cent content them
selves with kissing their hands. At one
time It was the fashion for love intoxicated
youths to fall on their knees when about
TO make proposals of marriage, but this
fashion Is evidently dying out, for we are
love at present fall on one knee, and only
2 per cent venture TO sue for the lady's Ia
vor on both knees.
A curious reason has been assigned for
the decadence of this chivalrous custom,
which Is that of late years the neither gar
ments of males have been SO constructed
that 1t is rather risky for any man to flop
down suddenly on his knees in a lady .
presence. On the other hand, wooers Of
today seem to be far more nervous than
century ago. Twenty per cent of the Eng
lish lovers of today are awfully nervous
when the decisive moment comes. The
behavior of the young women is similarly
remarkable. When the men invite them
to share their homes, 81 out of every 100
fall without a word into the outspread
arms of their chosen ones: 6S per cent
blush very becomingly, and in maidenly
fashion shrink away, as though frighten-
ed ut their companions boldness; one out
of every 100, possibly more, possibly less,
says our English statistician, falls on a
sofa as il about to faint, and per cent
are really astonished at receiving pro-
posals OF marriage. On the other hand,
80 out Of every 100 know very well what
the men have come for, and hence behave
Just as they should on such a momentous
occasion. Furthermore, go per cent look
their wooers boldly in the eyes. Curious
facts these, but the most curious fact OF
all is that one maiden out OF every lOt
runs away before the young man has fin
ished his pretty love tale, with the object
of telling the good news to her girl friends

time forgetting that his clock was half an
hour fast. In the middle Of the night no

dread that he had awakened too late, but
looking at his clock he saw that IL pointed

con,,cts Needing No Guards.

The anomalous spectacle of n large gang
of penitentiary convicts working In the
open, with no officers or armed force to
guard them, is presented every day at Yu-
ma, A. T. They are camped on the Colo
RADIO river, a little above Yuma, to be exact,
and they are engaged in cutting wood for
the territory. None Of them escapes. None
tries to escape Why do they stays Because
each man guards the other. Each man is
a "short termer," none Of them having
moro than year to serve. All arc allowed
a rebate for the work they do. When a
convict has cut two cords Of wood, he has
earned n days rebate on his term. But
should one escape all Lose rebates. Thus
each man becomes his brothers keeper. -
