An ObIiRinQ Caller.

When Monsieur Clemenceau was In
the French Chamber Of Deputies, he
became, for some reason, the idol Of
the working man; but his popularity,
according to the course of nature
brought its penalties. He was besleg
ed by all sorts of people, who came
merely to ask questions and sometimes
they were questions of the most trivial
sort.
He was originally a doctor. and used
to give advice for nothing at certain
hours of the day. One morning a
working man entered his room. and
Clemenceau said, without looking up
from his writing:
Take off your coat and shirt. I'll
attend to you directly"
Three minutes later he found the
man had stripped to the waist.
There is nothing the matter with
you" said the doctor, when he had
made an examination.
81 know there isn'tp returned the
man.
Then what did you come for?"
ITO consult you on a political ques-
ton"
But what did you strip for?"
81 thought you wanted an illustra-
ton Of the emaciated body Of the man
who lives by the sweat of his brow"
The political question remained un'
answered Monsieur Clemenceau was
too exasperated to do more than tel
the man to dress and go home.

Figure in japanese Picture Painted
with Phosphorescent Pigment.
Some of the finest japanese paintings
in the city are in the Legation building
of that nation on the north side. the
Japanese Ambassador being a collector
and connoisseur of the art of his native
land. The Japanese style of painting Is
altogether unlike that of Europe and
America, and the reason Japanese
painters are able to produce color eff
fleets that are the despair of European
and American artists is owing to the
pigments they use, large number of
which are secret and unknown outside
Of Japan.
In Japan there Is very famous
painting that no amount of money
could buy and which is the master
piece of a famous artist who lived sew
eral centuries ago. Viewing the paint
ing in daytime, one is disappointed 1t
shows nothing more than very com
monplace landscape, unrelieyed by
mountains or hills. As soon, however
as night falls, one begins TO realize the
peculiar merit of the picture, for upon
the canvas there appears a luminous
water buffalo lcariboo), browsing upon
the grass at its feet
The artist who painted this picture
discovered a certain phosphorescent
paint, which he obtained from the bod
les Of certain mollusks or fish, and with
which he painted the buffalo that, in
visible in daylight, is LUMINOSITY bril-
liant in the dark. The secret Of making
this paint died with the artist. The pic
ture, which hangs In Buddhist temple,
has proven a fertile source of supersti-
ton, the priests claiming that the buff
falo hides away in the shade behind
some trees in the picture during the
heat of the day, coming out at night to
Washington Post.

partment OF Health ef New York City
in the Century Magazine. There are
pros and cons to the question. declares
the writer. and among the pros he IN
cluaes the development OF modern
sanitary methods, the recognition OF
the importance of both personal aud
municipal cleanliness. and the great adj
vance in medicine and surgery. As To
the subject Of surgery. he says the
modern sugreon presumes TO venture
into the citadel Of life and to close the
wounds Of the heart itself" There IS
now not a single portion OF the body
that IS looked upon with awe as
place where the Sealpel Is barred The
triumphs of medicine he believes 10 be
mostly in the line Of prevention Never

tons OF the world; never again viii

their own fate IN helpless terror. The
mask q what men thought was the
angel OF death has been torn away,
and ia the phantom face behind II we
recognize the projection OF our own
hideous Ignorance and supineness.'
But. on the other hand. says Mr.. Tracy.
there is no doubt that the great ad-
vances IN medicine and surgery have
shortened some lives while frightening
others. Moreover. he asserts that the
causes of disease and death which have
hitherto been brought under sanitary
control do not affect In any important
degree the health Of those who have
reached middle life, and most OF the
diseases In which surgery has been
most successful are so uncommon as
not to have much effect upon the death
rate. Among these pros and cons he
finds that the only sure footing is 10 be
obtained from statistics. and these
show not only a decline in the death
rate but a dimlnutiOn of mortality in
early life. Few people. says the writer,
have enough self-control to become
centenarians. The game for them Is
not worth the candle" and 'the museu-
lar full-blooded person who laughs at
doctors and thinks his appetites great
gifts Of nature to be satiated rather
than satisfied, does not always. outliye
the valetudinarian who counts his
grapes and stops at one glass of wine"
But the saving Of lives at the earlier
ages brings a large number of people to
a point where they can look out for
themselves, and, says the writer in
cheering conclusion, however deplor-
able the general neglect to do this may
be. it is certain that the average man
has better chance Of living long than
he ever did before in the history Of the
world"

Fast French Express Train.

French express trains and their rate
Of speed have been somewhat proml-
nently before the public for some time,
and there were good many comparl-
sons with England in this connection.
Little was said at the time of the Sud
express" which runs daily between
Paris and the Spanish frontier and
which accomplishes very meritorious
performance. This train is one more
example of the progress that has been
made In France of recent years with
regard to rapid railway travelling. Its
inclusive rate of speed of fifty miles
an hour equals that of the fastest
Scotch expresses. while Its intermedi-
airy speeds show a higher average
than those presented by any British
long-distance express, or even by

MEDICAL USES OF TUNNELS.

Quite a new use has been found for

various other ailments.
Let US hope the women viii not gel
the idea into their heads that 1t Is

London Telegraph. A doctor who was
travelling on a railway noticed that a
woman In the compartment almost

entered a tunnel. and held outside

the youngster might get the full bene-

Formerly the unfallng specific for

to the advance of science, the under
