Disease on Stair Rnils.

II make 1t Il rule never to touch q
stair rail, especially in an office block
OF public building" said prominent
doubt in my mind that many con
tagious diseases are communicated
through them, and the theory certainly
has common sense to back it. People
who arc in good health very seldom use
tile handrail in mounting a flight of
stairs, but those who are sick or weak
a1e quite apt to need it's assistance. If
they happen to have some contagious
disease especially some form of ecze-
ma, the next person who comes in con
tact With the rail stands an excellent
chance of catching it. have treated
several people for skin disease in my
private practice who first showed signs
of the malady on the palms of their
hands, and l am convinced that stair
rails We're the source of infection.
There is Il historic example, by the
way, Of the readiness with which Ger.
tain forms of eczema may be trans.
ferred through some such an agency
as l suggest. During the siege of
Toulon, Napoleon, who was then a
sublieu enant Of artillery. is said to
have slatched the swabbing rod from
a clumsy gunner and helped serve the
piece ] mself for several rounds. The
gunner happened to have an unpleas

it."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

swindling a Bank.

man entered the office of live stock
firm at the stocliyards and asked If he
could wait in the office, as he expected
n telephone message. He was told that
he could, and he took a scat near the
telephone.
Down in the bank the paying teller
was asking who the holder OF the
check knew. He said not many firms,
us he was stock dealer, but if the tell
CT would call UP Mr.. Smith of Jones &
Smith, the we'll known brokers at the
stockyards, he would find out that he
was all right The teller called for the
rumber, and when the ring answered
he asked for Smith The man on the
end said he was Smith, and he mt once
gave Brown, the holder, the amount of
the check.
When 1T was discovered that the
check was a forgery, there was an aw-
full kick, as Smith said Brown was rs
good as gold. Smith declared that he
had talked to no one, and the result
was an argument between Smith and
the bank teller. No one knew about
the accomplice answering the phone,
and the result was that Smith took his
account from the bank, and no one
ever knew who 1T was who answered

The Girnre's Timidity,

A giraffe is very timid on hearing
slight sounds, but is Indifferent to loud
ones. a writer in The Leisure Houl
says:
Noisy sounds, like man walking by
with lobnail boots, 1t does not notice
but lady coming in with hardly more
sound than the rustling of her dress
makes it start, With prickcd cars and
eyes distendcd.
We remember well, after n terrible
explosion of gunpowtlcr on IL barge on
the canal, asking the keeper of the gi
ratfcs of that day how they had takcr
1t, and he said he was surprised how
very little notice they took. They
jumped to their feet, but almost al
once lay down again when they found
nothing happened.
But" he added, "if were Mt night
time to creep along that gallery in my
socks they would be so scared that
believe they would dash themselves to
bits"
They fear the lurking foe, and bling
bang scarcs them less than n faint
rustling sound. They are in that re
spect very dccrlike.

Going on the Stage.

1t is my honest conviction, based
upon no little observation, that nine
tenths of the desire to go upon the
stage proceeds from vanity-vanity
pure ard simple. What does the aver
age young person know of the require
ments of the stage, of the difficulties
that beset it? Nothing. He visits the
theaters and sees the handiwork Of
some clever dramatist presented by
Skilled actors with an case which it
seems absurd for the audience to APP
pland. OF the natural aptitude, the
long training, the nerve destroying re-
hearsals, the struggles and the heart
burnings lie knows nothing, of course
He sees only that it must be Il glorious
thing to be in the glare Of the foot
lights, With fine feathers and heroic
or humorous speeches, the observed of
all Observers, with the plaudits of the
an easy, delightful way OF earning
q living, Il fortune, and-likc the child
and the moon-he wants ii!
There is no royal road to success on
the stage. 1t is an eNacting profes-
sion. No man, no woman, reaches
success without great deal of hard
work and many hard knocks ct the
unrelenting hands Of expcrience-no
dainty taskmaster.
In century there are perhaps but
two exceptions to this rule-David
Garricll and Mary Anderson-to both
of whom success came Will. compare

"No; won't lend 1t to you," was the
reply, "but I'll tell you what will do.

"All right; give 1t to me-" was the
uiblushing rejoinder.

Chinese Names,

In China there is no fixed nomencla.
ture-cven the country itself is without
name-and this lack Of distinct and
recognized appellations was 81 frequent
source of difficulty. or personal in
formation from natives there was none
obtanable on which any credence
could be placed. A Chinaman, unless
he be porter cody or a boatnan,
rarely travels or gets during his life
more than a few miles in any direc-
ton from the place where he was
born. When trying to procure informa.
ton concerning the immediate locality,

All really excellent champagne is the

was when each big vineyard owner

But 1T has been found advantageous to
sell the raw Wine to dealers, who make

But there are still few provincial
establishments that cling to the old
ways-crowning With wreath of flow

Any bnrgher is entitled to demand a
