said: How well | remember when

Fla, at that time, and the day the or
der for the new uniforms was received

Gen. Triggs took the order, turned to
the section prescribing what briga-

quently tore il into bits and threw it
upon the floor. He was very pro-
fame man, and II was some time be-
fore he quieted down SO that | could
ask him what the matter was.
'Matter!' he shouted. Why, the
department has issued fool order
directing that brigadier-generals shall
wear only what the order prescribes,
and then goes on to describe every
thing in detail except the trousers.
Damn it, sir! The department has

Physicians Sorry That the Game Is
Declining in Favor in France.
Somebody has discovered that PEG.
pie in France are rot playing billiards
so much as they did formerly. over
this announcement has arisen a
lamentation.
Physicians have Joined In II as well
as lay admirers Of the game. They
declare that it's disappearance would
be misfortune from a sanitary point
Of view.
The game, they say. gives just the
exercise they need to a great number
Of people who without it would take
no exercise at all. While involving
so severe physical exertion, 1t keeps
the muscles in shape, stimulates the
circulation, helps the digestion and
requires just enough mental effort to
give the nervous system a rest from
the ordinary worries of life. In proof
Of all of which they cite the good
spirits usually exhibited about a bill
lizard table.
For elderly people, for the stout
who cannot take much exercise, bill
lizards is pronounced an excellent
tonic. So the friends Of the game are
preaching a revival OF its popularity.

Some weeks ago DR.. c., a very
reputable and widely-known physi-

house he found a man about forty
years of age. lying in Frustrated
and serious condition, with his whole
frame dangerously affected with the
painful disease. He prescribed for
the patient. but the man continued to
grow worse. and on Sunday evening
he was found to be in a very alarm
ing condition. The knees and elbows
and larger joints were greatly infam-
ed, and could not be moved Ii was
only with extreme difficulty that the
patient could be turned in bed, with
the aid of three or four persons. The
weight Of the clothing was so painful
that means had To be adopted to keep
it from the patients body.
The doctor saw that his assistance
would be of no avail, and left the
house, the members of the family
following him to the door, weeping.
Almost Immediately the grief stricken
ones were addressed by an humble
German. He had heard of the despair
of the family, and now asked them to
try his remedy, and accordingly
brought forth a bottle of st. Jacobs
Oil. The poor wife applied this rem
edy. The first application eased the
patient very much: after few hours
they used it agaiL, and, wonder of
wonders, the pain vanished entirely!
Every subsequent application improv-
ed the patient, and in two days he
was well and out. When the doctor
called a few days after, he was in
deed surprised.
