Dewey's Return.

The naval parade in honor Of Admiral
George Dewey, last Friday, at New
York, was one Of the most gorgeous
affairs ever seen in this country. The
davis festivities were not marred by
rain or accidents, although for Il bri.
period. after the start was made, some
rain fell, but not enough to dampen the
enthusiasm Of the countless thousands
present. The shore was lined with pco-
ple. and house tops, barges, and all
points Of vantage, were crowded with
enthusiastic people doing honor to the
hero Of Manila. 1t is estimated that
fully three million people witnessed the
parade.

Critics Of America" said well
known physician, ''have pol1ed fun at
us for being nation OF rockers. Amer.
leans have been pictured as sixty mil
lions Of persons seated in sixty millions
OF rocking chnirs-sonle OF them era
dies, OF course. But HOW comes DR..
Lame. a French West InGi;t physician,
who says it is good for us. He has
been talking Of what he calls the
good effects that the lullaby chair exer.
ciscs on subjects affected with atony Of
the stoma ch.' Atony is want of tone.
''Lainc says that a course Of rocking
chair alter each meal, the oscillations
beng quiet and regular, stimulates
gastro-intcstinal Pc st;.ltis.n,' and that
lyspcptics should take notice. The
chair ought to be light, SO that rocking
clined backward that tie person may
lie rather than sit in it. Physicians
Will agrcc that DR.. Lailc has done
Americans real service. 1t has always
been rather difficult to explain the Ma.
tional passion for the rocking chair, but
now it is only too easy. Americans are
the worst sufferers from indigestion
and dyspepsia i'll the world, but it now
appears that we, have instinc tively
rushed to what is now proved to be the
best s'y-ytesn Of relief.
''Tho man who lun cllcs on pie an6
then balances himself in q rocking
chair Is unconsciously doing his best to-
stimulate his gastro-in tcs5inal pcristalt
ism; he is practically singing lullaby
to his outraged and injured stomach
which is kept fIon, crying aloud only
by this method O. soothing it. Bchclc
in America a nation Of invalids vainly
endcavoring to rock themselves t.
