TURKEYS ARE PLENTIFUL,
FrOmfse OF Large Supply for Thanks
giving Day,

The Washington markets have taken on
the atmosphere of activity, which is always
apparent in advance of the Thanksgiving
season Of feasting and praise. The viands
that go to make Thanksgiving the famous
day at the festal board have come to the
front in the market displays. King Turkey
continues his reign as heretofore and will
OF course, occupy his accustomed position
as the especial piece de resistance at all of
the holiday dinners. Surrounding The regal
bird are to be found all sorts of accessories
in the various stalls.
Dealers at the Center market saw that
the market has been glutted with turkeys
of all degrees of toothsomeness. The sup
ply OF medium stock is perhaps larger than
Tor many years past. However. it is not
affecting very seriously the price of the
best turkeys, which are selling from Il to
10 cents per pound. AS low as II cents
Is quoted by some of the dealers on certain
fowls in their supply. No sharp advance in
prices is anticipated during the next few
days and it is believed that "Wednesday
evening, the day before Thanksgiving, the
market will be SO we'll filled with turkeys
as to keep the price at a lower figure than
has ruled for a number of seasons The
supply seems to be inexhaustible
Wild turkeys, preferred by many to the
domestic variety, command higher prices
than do their barn-yard contemporaries be-
ing quoted at % cents pound TODAY Game
for the elaborate THANKSGIVING dinner is
also to be found in abundance at the mar
kets. ducks being in the majority. Blue
wing teals may be had for 81 pair. fancy
mallards at 80 a pair red-heads at b Il
pair and the finest of all, the canvas back
at S per pair. Woodcock are bringing 50 a
dozen, while choice quail, the one excep-
tionally scarce variety, are quoted at $3.50
q dozen. Good rabbits are very scarce and
bringing high as % cents each
Grouse, capons, equabs etc, are on the
market in usual numbers.
In meats of all kinds the market prices
which have prevailed for some time past
continue. and there is no expectation of an
Increase. Eggs are bringing 27 cents a
dozen.
Cranberries, celery fruits and vegetables
OF all kinds that go to make the Thanksgfv-

REvERsEs HER WRITING.
Eject ON . Young W0maA's
ChirOgraphy.

DR.. Carleton Simon, of New York,
the specialist in nervous diseases, has
reported case which is one of the
strangest in medical annals, says an ex-
change of that city.
A young woman, socially prominent,
to whom DIR. Simon refers as Miss X,
has been subject to attacks resembling
amnesia, pending the duration of which
she writes inversely so that one must
hold the writing to a mirror to read
what has been written.
The disease, according to DR.. Simon,
is allied to agraphia paralysis OF
the nerve centers in the brain con-
trolling the power of expressing
thought in writing. 1t is in the same
category as asphasia, the disease that
robs one of the power of speech which
has been the subject of SO much re-
cent attention from medical men.
In the case of Miss X. the strange
disease has manifested itself after
great fatigue or unusual excitement.
The young woman first became com
sc;ous of her ailment through friend
who discovered letter she had written
inversely.
At first she considered it merely the
weird trick of tired brain, and thought
no more of it, but several months later
she again discovered that she had writ
ten in the peculiar fashion.
These letters were written as rapid
ly as she wrote ordinary letters The
characters were perfectly formed. but
the entire writing was reversed as is
the stamp OF a signature on Il piece of
blotting paper. While writing these
letters the young woman was not con-
scious that she was not writing in her
ordinary penmanship.
Miss X. at once sought DR.. Simon, and
he began treating her for nervousness,
Since tina, time she has had one or two
attacks. but now she realizes that she
Is writing in mirror hand" although
she cannot control the impulse to do so.
DR.. Simon attributes the STRANGE
disease to the separation of the nerve
cells in that portion of the brain con-
trolling written thought. These cells
cnce separated, the thought is not con-
neeted, and in the case of Miss X. the
malady takes the odd form of writing
in reverse.
DIR. Simon is confident that the
young woman will eventually recover,
and will suffer no i'll effects from her
attacks.

PARIS EXPOSITION ENGLISH.
Weird Samples OF 1t That Are NO"
Finding Their Way Into
America

English Interpreters must be scarce
in Paris this exposition year, if one
may Judge from the quality of the adj
vertising circulars which come to this
city, SAYS the New York Sun. The
latest is printed in French and English
in parallel columns so that the reader
may see how the Translator has done
his work. 1t sets forth the advan-
tages of an excursion company which
modestly explains itself in this style of
English:
"The - - company has been
formed in order to secure the best
possible condition of luxury and con-
fort voyages from America to France
and vice versa, and the stay in Paris
during forty five days of a limited
number of visitors wishing to see the
marvels of all kinds which the Paris
exhibition of 1900 holds in store for
them"
"To avoid to these visitors all weari-
ness and trouble" continues the trans
lator, "such as securing passage, GUS
tom house formalities. lodging, board
carriages, guides. interpreters, such is
the exceedingly practical idea which
has prevailed in the formation of the
company and of it's numerous
services. The numerous visitors in
Paris, evaluated by exact estimates, at
more than fifty millions, will fill up
the hotels. restaurants, theaters, still
more than at the previous exhibitions.
and it is only at eXtravagant prices,
and with great difficulty that neces-
saries will be Obtained
This company translates into English
a detailed account of the experiments
which it has made to test it's service
and offers it's subscribers not only o
tel. theater and exposition tickets, but
accident policies, and chance in a
lottery with a grand total of 1,160, 900
francs in prizes.
The subscribers then have: Eight
DAYS travelling, consecutive or by fl ac-
lions in France. Switzerland, Belgium
or England, all railways, hotel fees, &c.
included. The time spent for these jour
neys will be deducted from the forty
five days of residence in Paris.
The company's motto is first come
first served. and it proves so conclusive
ly that it is going to lose money by its
excursions that only a man devoid of
conscience would take advantage of
its generous offer Among its board OF
directors is a baron who is described
in French as propriettire viticulieur,
and in English this baron is described
as a Landowner of culture of the vine. y

SERUM TREATMENT.
Its Value in Certain Diseases Not
Determined.
some Interesting Particulars Re-
gafding the Progress Of the
Remedy and How 1t II
Used.

The discovery OF, the serum treat
ment of disease was the outcome of at
tempts to solve the mystery of i'm
munity. or the weil-known fact that
one attack of an infectious disease,
such as scarlet fever or measles, almost
always renders person secure against
any subsequent exposure, says Youths
Companion.
AS SO often happens, in the pursuit
of knowledge, the object sought was
not found-for the true cause of i'm
munity is yet to be discoveries; but
something of more practical value was
lighted upon, namely, means by
which this immunity can be artificial
ly produced.
1t was found that during the course
of the disease the patients blood I'M
dergoes some change. or acquires some
new property, by virtue of which the
liability to take that disease is de-
stroyed. Then it was discovered that
a little of the blood of person who
has in this way become immune, inject
ed into the veins of another person
who has not yet had the disease, will
render him immune also.
But this is not all; for the injection
of this blood into person who has
Just begun to sicken with the disease
seems to hasten the cure. 1t is like
a weapon in the hand of a man at
tackled. or about to be attacked, by
robbers. If he has the weapon before
hand he can ward off the attack: or if
ii is put into his hand just as he is
being attacked. he can use it to drive
III assailants away.
To cure disease. however, the rem
edv must be used early, for weapon
is useless to a man who has already
been beaten into Inconsistencies.
As it is manifestly impossible to use
human blood for the purpose named,
recourse has been had to animals. In
jections of the virus are made repeat
edlv into horse. until his blood has
acquired high degree of minimizing
power. Then he is bled. and the red
and white corpuscles are removed; for
the curative properties reside in the
fluid part of the blood, that is to say,
the serum. This is put up in sealed
TASKS. and is ready for use.
The serum most in use is the we'll
known diphtheria antitoXin, although
tetanuS antitoXin and other serums are
also employed occasionally.
Physicians are by no means agreed
rs to the value of the serum treatment
If disease. many claiming that diph
iberia antitoxin. for example, has no
curative properties whatever; others.
again. are equally emphatic in their
contention that diphtheria is much
less serious disease since the serum
treatment of it has come into general
use. and they go so far as to believe
that the time will come when. through
this serum treatment. Pasteurs saying
will be realized. that sit is in the power
Of man to make all parasitic Cor infec-
tious) diseases disappear from the
world"

WICKED PARISIANS.
Americans Are Warned Against
Their Tricks While Visiting
the EXPEDITION.

While you are speaking of visiting
the Paris exposition" said the broker
to his friend, relates the Philadelphia
Call, "let me warn you about the de-
cCption that the shcewd Partisan will
Try to practice upon you, and, indeed,
all tourists.
1.-The Partisan is always on the look
out for demonetiZed and nonpassable
coins. which exist in great abundance
in Paris, and if he is unfortunate
enough to get stuck on them he saves
item for strangers.
THE great numbers of unacceptable
coins in circulation is due to the plan
of the Latin union, which provides that
the silver coins of France, Italy. Swift
zeriand, Greece and Belgium shall be
interchangea ameng these coun-
tries. These include all German coins.
all nickel or copper coins of the other
union countries. certain issues of ltal-
ian fivefranc pieces. and now and then
Italian fractional currency. Five-lire
pieces of Italy with the figure erect are
not good. while like Swiss coins are
passable. With the goddess seated
Swiss coins cannot be used in Paris.
"Much confusion is caused by the
real French coins, and in addition
clever counterfeits of correct dates
are largely in circulation.
"Nigilance in every business dealing
and constant tests are the only way
for the American to enjoy immunity
from deception. I would advise you
to buy money card, on sale by Pa
risian newsdealers, and containing
representations of the coins, and by
thorough study learn the pieces re-

End OF a Much-Traveled Building.
One of the most noted buildings of
the Mississippi valley was lately torn
down at Lanark, III. 1t is known as
the Tomlinson building. 1t was built
in New Orleans, says the Chicago
Chronicle, and at one time was used
as a warehouse in Clinton Ia, grazing
the river front, where it was con-
spicuous for several years. When
first built the structure was used as
a cotton gin. 1t was moved up the
river to st. Louis by water. At that
place it served as warehouse. From
st. Louis it was again moved-this
time to Clinton. From there the
structure was moved to Savannah,
again being towed up the Mississippi.
At Savannah, for the third time, the
building was landed on the river shore
and once more used as a warehouse.
1t was finally sold and was moved
again, for the last time, being taken
to Lanark. The first child born in
that place saw the light of day in
the structure. The timbers are of i'm
mense size, and are of hewn oak and
as solid to-day as when first put into
the building.
