"Where?' she asked

So they went up a little way and sat
down.
Wh-why, what's the matter, Mr.
Stackpole?" cried the fair young girl,
for the young man had hastily risen
and was gasping for breath. He could
not reply. His face was lived. His eyes
were rolled up, and with one shaking
hand he clawed feebly at the skirts of
his Tuxedo
"What kind OF an attack is it?'' she
gasped.
At this question his voice came back
to him.
stWhat difference does that make?
he harshly growled. Then, without a
word of apology, he dashed up the
stairs and flung himself into the mems

who Ganyased the stairs had earelessly

cycled my American friend over the
hills from Croydon to the little hamlet
of Little Warlingham, and there we
ran into the courtyard of an inn named
the Leather Bottle, which designa-

lighted the man from New York. We
had there most excellent lunch, and
the charge was Is pence instead of the
usual half crown.
My friend was enthusiastic and re-

compliment him on the choiceness and
cheapness of his viands. | begged him
not to do this, as he might raise TIE

Uncte Toms Cabin Chair.

Among the many things associated
with the memory of Harriet Beecher
Stowe is the chair occupied by her while
writing the initial chapters of "Uncle
Toms Cabin. Mrs Stowe, accom-
panied by Rev. Lyman Beeoher, her ia
ther, was visitor at Batavia, O., many
years ago, at the home of Judge Owen
f. Fishback. During all the hours Of
her visit and while writing she always
occupied this plain poplar chair. After
Mrs. Stowe rose to fame with her book
the chair was preserved and handed
down as part of history from Mrs.
Fishback to Lou Buerkle, in whose
possession it now remains. The back of
the chair has become broken OFF, and

Chinese Drugs.

The employees in the office of the APP
Sraiser of customs were busy examin-
ing a shipment of Chinese medicines,
and the place smelled like fertilizer
factory.
There were the usual number of dried
snakes, the looks 0. which would be
certain to kill or cure any intelligent
patient. There were also a number of
plump lizards, spitted on rods and ex-
banded with slips of bamboo till they
resembled tennis raekets; a lot of "sea
horses, long, slender fish, with a
head like horse and prehensile tail !;
bundles Of centipeds fattened out and
pasted on sticks; cans full of preserved
polliwogs and angleworms and many
other curious panaceas, each of which
smelled worse than the other. There
were pills as large as prunes, hand
somely decorated; roots and YARDS of
many kinds, which would paralyze q
Quaker doctor, and boxes and bottles Of
unknown mixtures which would para
lyze anybody
The 40 separate and distinct smells
of the town of Cologne are nothing as
compared to the odors arising from
about 500 worth OF Chinese medicine,
which made some of the men handling
the stuff sick Foul smell seems to be
requisite in most medicines, and if thu
beneficial effects Of medicine are pro-
portionate to its odor the medicines of
the Chinese should be the best in the
world. Portland Oregonian.

We all know from actual experience
that good sneeze is wonderful loosen
or Of nasal bronchial mucus Sir Dyce
Duckworth comes forward in The Prac-
titioner with the suggestion that the
induction of sneezing be resorted to for
the purpose Of raising bronchial mucus.
The idea is good one and worthy Of
being placed in practical operation. It
has been explained how vomiting causes
an expulsion OF mucus or membrane
from the respiratory passages, but
sneezing appears to be quite efficient in
doing this. Ordinary snuR or any Of
che many simple nasal irritants suffices
and may be blown into the nose Of even
a child without any danger.
