A Prominent Singer Saved From Loss of

Mr.. Julius Weisslitz, 176 Seneca street,
Buffalo, N. Y, is corresponding secretary
of The Sangerlust, of New York; is the
leading second bass of the Saugerlust, the
largest German singing society of New
York, and also the oldest.
In 1899 The Sangerlust celebrated its
fiftieth anniversary with a large celebra-
tion in New York City. The following is
his testimony:
about two years ago ] caught a severe
cold while travelling and which settled into
catarrh Of the bronchial. tubes, and so af-
fected my voice that / was obliged to can
eel my engagements. In distress, / was
advised to try Peruna, and although l had

relieved, and within three weeks 1 ives

Is Brain Work bad for

Prof. thinner, the famous female
brain specialist, declares that in every
eighty-five female patients in the luna
tic Lsylums of Germany, Russia, Aus
tria and Switzerland there is one
school teacher. In Prussia there is
one teacher to every $50 women of the
population. It seems to follow, there
fore, that mental disorders among
teachers are four times as numerous
there as they ought to be. The case
is still worse with those young women
who are preparing to become teachers.
Among them the cases of insanity are
ten times more numerous than they
ought to be. Professor thinner says:
IF telephone girls or s~alesgirlsl
show signs of mental disturbance it is
not to be wondered at, for their occu-
pations are hardly those a woman can
call suitable to her sex, but in teach
ing, which is usually considered a
suitable employment for women, when
the results are so disastrous there is
every reason for serious considera-
ton"
Prof. thinner is sure that in other
countries, notably England and the
United States, where women are more
widely occupied in business and in
professions than in Germany, scien-
tiically collected statistics will show
the same melancholy results.

A nasty practice Is what the Chicago

peated layers OF wall paper, one upon
another, thus covering up the filth and
germs Of disease that may be propa-
gated in the very absorbent and de-
caying mass Of -four paste, paper
animal glue, colors, etc.
They give opinions of eminent
health officers and sanitarlans, urging
that such practice should be stopped
by legal enactment, and also take oc-
casion to say that these s%anitarians
recommend Alabastine as a durable,
pure and sanitary coating for walls.
The Inter Ocean says: "This is n

There was a little Irishman who kept
a liquor shop, and he was noted for al
ways having a reply ready. One day a
man came in, laid a dollar bill on the

and the customer filled the glass right
up to the top. rs It a towel you'd be
w%antin'?" the proprietor asked, imply
ing thereby that the customer had
poured out a bath, rather than a drink.
Look here said the customer,
pointing to the money, there's a dol

drink out of it, and if there isn't
enough, tell me how much more you
want and I'll pay it, but l don't want

The proprietor picked up the dollar
