BY the assistance of an experienced
staff of physicians, DR.. Hartman pro-
poses to direct the treatment Of sew
eral thousand women, who, for one
reason or another are ailing.

cases have been cured. Every item
of the treatment is directed for which
no charge whatever is made.

This disposition, however, did not

Social Business Men.

Ia paper on "Mid Air Dining Clubs

Moffett has something to say Of their
eject upon the socisbility Of business
men.
They are developing among New York
business men new kind OF sociability.
With the old restaurant regime the
members Of a certain business house or
office found small variety at luncheon
time from the monotony OF their narrow
round. Day after day the same little
groups would go out together and re-
turn together, seldom meeting new men,
seldom getting out OF the deep worn
channels Of thought and talk. IL WAS
astonishing how fe " acqusintances they
made 10 years OF this life. New York
has a terrible conservatism that walls
men about and keeps them apart from
their fellow-men unless something
comes TO break through it. Ia this case
the mid club came. and straightwsy

A Chicago lady, upon engaginr a

upon her that no followers were allowed
at that establishment, and added that
the last cook had been discharged

Trapping a Professor by Wire.

Among some intensely amusing co'-
lege scrapes told by "a Graduate, ia
the Ladies Home Journal, is the stJ-
ry Of certain professor, not mucH
liked by his pupils, who was to be
married. The lady lived in Cleveland.
And the students that loved CO him
were not, Of course, invited. But
they determined that in some way he
should hear from them. And he did.
On the day appointed the professor
took the train at 10 a. H., due to ar
rive at Cleveland at 1890 p. IN.
About eleven o'clock Jim Townsend
rushed to the telegraph office and sent
off this dispatch:
Chief Of Police, Cleveland, Ohio.
Man coming on train No 8, tall, well
dressed, frock coat, silk hat, side whis-
kers. Escaped lunatic. Hold! Shrewd'

Delusion. Escort to home OF friends

This message reached it's destination
long before train NJ. 6 reached Cleve-
land, so that when Professor Finalli
alighted it was to walk right straight
into the custody Of three detectives.
They would listen to no words Of rea.

Tears a Remedy Against Illness.

A physician who has Just returned
from Persia says that in that country
human tears are regarded as an infal-
liable remedy against certain chronic
diseases.
In order to have sufficient supply
Of tears always on hand the priests COL
lect them in a singular manner. When
ever there is a funeral the officiating
priest distributes small sponges
among the mourners, with which he
instructs them to remove from their
eyes the tears which they are in duty
bound to shed for the deceased.
After the ceremony he collects the
sponges, which by that time are satu-
rated with tears, and carefully
saueezes their contents into a large
bottle, which he then seals and places
in his medicine chest.
!, A short time ago the question was
raised by sceptical layman whether
the crocodile tears shed by hypocritl-
cal mouruers were likely to prove as
efficacious as those shed by true mourn
ers, but the priests did not cOndescenl
to reply. No figures are obtainable
as to the quantity of tears which such
sponge will yield, but as the priests
bottles are never empty, it is evident
that the lachrymal glands Of Persian
mourners are always ready to comp.y
with any demand which may be made
upon them.

An Old-Fashioned Woman.

No clever. brilliant thinker, she,
With college record and degree;
She has not known the path of fame,
The world has never heard her name,
She walks in old. long-uodden ways,
The valleys of the yesterdays.
Home is her kingdom. love her dover
She seeks no other wand Of power
To make home sweet, bring heaven near.
To win a smile and wipe tear,
And do her duty day by day
In her own quiet place and way.
Around her childish hearts are twined.
As round some reverend saint enshrined,
And following hers the childish feet
Are led TO ideals true and sweet,
And find all purity and good
In her divinest motherhood.
She keeps her faith unshadowed still
God rules the world in good and i'll;
Men in her creed are brave and true,
And women pure as pearls of dew.
And life for her is high and grand
BY work and glad endeavor spanned.
This sad old earth's brighter place
All for the sunshine of her face:
Her very smile a blessing throws.
And hearts are happier where she goes,
A gentle, clear-eyed messenger,
To whisper love-thank God for herl

All the Same to Him.

A well-known American tells the
following story of a member Of the
"po'h white trash, who endeavored
to cross a stream by means of ferry
owned by black man.
"Uncle Nose" said the white man,
"I want to cross, but I hain't got no
money.
"Doan' you got no money t alp
Uncle Nose queried.
"No," said the wayfaring stranger,
Il haven't cent"
"But it don't cost but three cents,
insisted Uncle Nose, "ter cross de fer
ry."
~ know, said the white man, "but
l haven't got the three cent"
Uncle Nose was in quandary, but
only for moment or two.
"Boss," he said, II tole you what

Woman Explained.

Who shall be considered qualified to
speak with wisdom on the subject Of
woman, if it is not he who has had 80
wives?
Obendaga is Senegalese chiefwhOse
spouses have numbered precisely two
score and fifteen. Obendaga has stud
led all of them. He believes he knows
something of womankind. What he
knows he has crystallized into maxims
of pith and piquancy. Here are some
of them:
When a woman weeps, pat her once
if she still weeps, beat her twice.
II you do not like woman's ear,
cut it off; she will hear no less and
may look more beautiful.
Despise not all women built like a
cocoanut tree; in every forest must be
some cocoanut trees.
Why kiss? 1t is like patting a
sugar tree.
Be condescending always to a wife
they ike it. Cocoanuts grow simply
to fall and to lie around the foot OF
the tree. A man with many wives is
cocoanut tree with much fallen fruit.
A woman fights with glances man
with spears. Some glances are sharp
er than some spears.
Some wives nurse grievances like
children and love them full as well ;
see that such wives have family Of
grievances.
One wife is as if the clock always
marked high noon; there are other
hours on the clock.
Some women must be won in the
sun, others in the shade. Judge them
by their eyes and not by their skin,
as some burn quicker in the shade
than others in the sun.
Slap some, pinch others; never pat
them unless to save word.
Talk little to women; listen much.
They talk for many and listen for few.
Better to have a woman fear you
than to think she can wave doga to
a lover behind your back. A woman
admires a lion that will eat her more
than a monkey that will chatter for
her peanuts.
The wink is not known in Senegal
we do not blink at the sun or at each
other. What we see, we see. What
is, we see; what is not, other coun-
tries can wink at.
The less clothes a wife wears, the
more she has to hide in her head il
she would keep it from you. Clothes
are foolish tattooing is far more or
namental and does not chafs. Tailors
are like monkeys tails, good only for
hanging.
When the cooks spoil the broth in
our land, we put them in the pot to
make more. 1t solves the question oi
food.
Many women would rather be one
of So wives than one of none.
