When Lord Morris was chief justice
Of Ireland, a young junior barrister

first motion and spoke in the hard

value of a Good sneeze.

We all know from actual experience
that good sneeze is wonderful loosen
er 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. 1t
has been explained how vomiting causes
an expulsion of mucus or membrane
from the respiratory passages, but
eneezing appears to be quite efficient in
doing this. Ordinary snuff or any OF
the many simple nasal irritants suffices
and NAV be blown into the nose of even
a child without any danger.

A VISIT TO BISMARCK
An American Who Passed as a Dele.
gate from the Rnenfsh Provinces.


gate from the Rhenish Provinces.
Sre0erick W. Wendt describes "a
Visit TO Bismarck" in the St. Nicholas.
Mr.. Wendt says: One train after an
ctner drew up at the station platform,
and finally all the delegations of the
Rhenish provinces had arrived. Some
or them were decidedly queer-looking.
and came to the conclusion that |
would not be discovered If / mixed In
with them. Marching lines, four
abreast, were formed, and with unlim-
ited confidence stepped into the ranks.
For an hour we stood there, while the
souvenir peddlers reaped rich harvest.
All at once the band struck up "Die
Wacht am Rhein." The lines began to
move, and in minute more we were
marching along the winding paths OF
the woods surrounding the castle" At
every step the enthusiasm grew, and
when at last we stood before the bal
cony where Bismarck was to appear,
keen expectation could be read upon
every face.
The last verse Of the song rolled out
from thousand voices, rich, sonorous
hymn of praise such as few men have
heard addressed to them. When the
last note had died away, the window
leading out upon the balcony opened. A
tall, sturdy figure, slightly bent, splen-
did specimen of fourscore years, Otto
Won Bismarck, the "Iron Chancellor" /"
stood before us. A wild hurrah burst
from the multitude again and again.
Bismarck bowed and smiled, and final
ly raised 'his hand. Clear and distinct
his voice rang out, voice that any
speaker half his age might have been
proud to possess. Although powerful in
his utterance, he spoke haltingly. Often
the important word of sentence failed
to come, and then, after a pause, with
curious pressing motion of his
thumbs, he brought it out. He spoke
without notes, and with a marvellous
conviction; but his speeches mean even
more when read in print than when
spoken. He well knew that on the NOR
row every word would be weighed and
examined by million minds, and that
he must be more than careful in every
syllable he uttered. And yet, he did not
dress up his speech in pretty sentences
with no meaning. There was sincerity
in every word. Now and then he spoke
Of his past. 'When a reigning minis
ter he said at one time, becomes very
popular, there is always a question
whether it is not at the expense Of his
official duties. think that nobody will
believe me guilty of this. AS long as I
have been in harness l have always
played the part of a watchdog, and
have bitten when / had to bite" Again
he says: when, as a chancellor, had
to choose among evils, have always
chosen the lesser one; it has never been
my privilege to follow my ideal.''
The speech was long and interesting
one, and nobody thought Of the time
that slipped by; they saw and heard
only the central figure, Otto Won Bis
marck, whose every saying was as sa-
cred to them as the DEGREES Of the ora
cles were to the assembled multitudes
in ancient times.

An Illustration of the Artfulness Of

IT CURED THE COOK.

The Result of Her Masters Wres-
thing Match With the Telephone. :
"About week after the telephone
was installed-any electrical device is
always installed when it is brought
into the house-the cook was suddenly
taken i'll in the middle Of the night,
and was requested to telephonefor the
doctor. It took me fully ten minutes of
prolonged ringing and yelling before !
could induce the central Office to put
me into communication with the doc
tor. Then sent an agonized howl
through the telephone, begging the doc
tor to come at once.
In the course Of the following hour
six different persons carried on brief
conversations with me, but no one Of
them was the doctor. In the case Of
each person it took about ten minutes of
hard labor to induce him to say any
thing Ineligible, and when the intel
ligible remark arrived it was to the
effect that the speaker was Brown or
Jones or Robinson; thai he was not a
doctor, and that he would inf1ict per-
sonal chastisement on the man who had
called him out Of bed If he could find
the criminal in the morning.
"At last, however. my efforts were
apparently crowned with success. A
wretch who said he was the person of
whom was in search promised to call
at my house at once Accordingly one
hour and quarter after had first rung
the telephone received hurried call
from the local undertaken, who insisted
that had telephoned to him to bring a
coffin without moments delay. got
rid Of him at the expense of 5 shillings
and glass of wine, and am happy to
say that the shock Of the visit cured the
cook without the aid Of any other med.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS


is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress. upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name Of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of it's remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor
nauseate. In order to get it's beneficial

SHOPPING IN ITALY.


Out1andish Methods That Make 1t a
Most TiresOme Task.
A source of trial is what appears to
us the outlandish method of having
things that apparently belong together
sold in different establishments. Silks
are found in one shop, woolens in an
other and ribbons in third. At none
of these can one bay needles and thread.
If woman wishes to hang pair OF
curtains. she purchases the materials at
one shop, the rod and rings at differ
ent place, the iron fixtures at third
and has to go to fourth to find an up
holsterer to put them up. She must
visit tobacco shop for salt and cannot
find, as with us, vegetables, fruit or
bread at grocer's. 1t may thus readily
be seen that one must travel a good deal
to do her marketing or shopping.
Add to all this the confusion incident
to the fact that the standards of measure
and weight are different from ours, 8
meter exceeding yard and pound
containing but II ounces, and faint
idea may be formed of the mental COM
plications of the traveller.
There is also a certain amount OF
beating down to be done in nearly every
shop, and even after half an hours bar
gaining the purchaser oherishes awful
doubts lest she might not have bought
the thing cheaper. Shopping is really
almost equal to the contemplation OF
faded frescoes for lowering the mental
