A QUEER COMBINATION.
Corset Maker and Doctor in Paris Join Forces and Do Thriving
 Business.

One of the shrewdest business conn binations on record has been formed in Paris by two sisters, one of whom $ a doctor and the other a corset maker.
 Since they have joined forces they have been receiving more business than they can comfortably attend to.
 Customers calling are first ushered into the doctors consulting-room.
 There they undergo a regular med ical examination. They have to an swer the usual practitioners ques- tions, the pulse is felt, lungs sounded, heart listened to and so on.
 The doctor then writes out pre- scription-in other words an exact de scription of the kind of corset which the build or state of health of each cus- toner requires that she shallwear.
 They are then ushered into the room where the sister presides over her branch of the business and takes the measurements in strict accordance with the medical instructions.
 The partnership of stay-maker and physician has proved so successful that, although the charges made are on the highest scale of the corset trade, consulting-room and fitting shop are always crowded.

CHOOSING A WIFE BY MUSIC.
Novel Scheme of n German Professor
 for Ascertaining the Feminine Temperament.

A German professor proposes to solve the difficulty some people seem to have in5choosing a wife by trial by music" reports the London Express. Everything depends on the taste of the subject under study. If she pre- fers waltz music, and above all Strauss Intoxicating strains, she is certainly frivolous. If she loves Beethoven she is artistic, but not practical. Does she prefer Liszt? Then she is ambi- tions; while devotee of Mozart would be rather prudish. Why an admirer of Offenbach should be cunning is not very clear; but remembering the op- era of "Faust" it is easyto understand that any girl preferring Gounod must be romantic and tender hearted.
 It is hard upon Flotow that because his music is out of fashion taste for it denotes a vulgar soul; while Gott- schalk fares little better, pleasing, according to the German professor, only the superficial. Massenet is sup. posed to attract the tiInid; while de- votion to Wagner's music is a distinct proof of egotisn. Saint Saens, how ever, is composer the admiration for whom denotes a girl of intelligence and we'll balanced character.

ABOUT COLO.
The Various Forms of This Disease, Their Causes and~Hovv They
 May He Cured.

Collie is name applied in general way to a sudden and severe pain in the abdomen. Physicians recognize many kinds of collie, each calling for it's own separate treatment, which must vary with the underlying cause, says the Youths Companion. Lead colic, for instance, sometimes called painters colic," because painters are the class most exposed to it, is type by itself, and may generally be recognized by the presence at the same time of pe- cullar blue line around the gums. This kind is best treated, or at least its re- currence is prevented by change of occupation. A more usual form is that brought on by the eating of indigesti- ble food and by the presence in the in- testines of acid matter. It is often ac- companied by intense bilious symp- toms, which persist until the system is relieved of the offending substances.
 The form of collie most to be feared is that called cholera morbus. This is most apt to appear in hot wea ather, and although painful, Is seldom fatal, ex- cept to the very young and the very old. It may be induced in many ways-by eating unripe fruit or raw vegetables, drinking impure water, living where there are masses of decaying garbage, or where there Is overcrowding in hot weather. It will be seen from this list of causes why it Is so common among the children of the very poor of our crowded cities during the hot season. It is to this disease that one may trace the awful dea eath-rate among tenement children in July and August. Happily, much is done each summer to educate and help the mothers of these unfortu- nate little ones, but the ravages wrought by the disease in the ranks of the very poor are still terrific.
 The rules. for the prevention of this complaint are simple, as are also the methods of treatment. There must be first and always strict attention to cleanliness, especially az the weather grows hot. Neglected garbage is as much poison as prussic acid, and an improperly washed nurging-bottle as deadly weapon as loaded pistol. When these and kindred truths are recognized as truths by the whole com munity, rich and poor alike, the sum- mer death-rate will immediately show improvement.
 People who are subject to this trou- ble would do well to wear constantly a flannel bandage over the abdomen, for the least chill while digestion is inpro- gress may provoke an attack. During the attack much relief may be had by hot applications, drink of hot water with little ginger added and a very hot foot bath. Above all, the treat ment must tend to the immediate re- moval from the system of offending substances.

AMERICAN HUMoR.
Some Examples of Its EbuIIience
 GIeaned from Various Tales 4, %. of People.

An American woman made the ass cent of Vesuvius recently with small party which included Mrs. Cook, Wid- ow of the famous tourist manager. The display within the crater was un- usually fine, which the American, at dinner, smilingly attributed to the presence of Mrs. Cook.
 After several moments of silence two Englishmen exclaimed in one breath: "But how could they manage that?o
 How another piece of American hu- nor was managed" is told by Rev. Dr. Hills, of Brooklyn. He, with many other American scholars, attended an educational conference at Edinburgh last summer, and sat at dinner beside Scotch professor.
 sI have had some correspondence with Prof. B., of Chicago ' began the Scotchman. s'Is there any possi- bility of your knowing him ?"@
 ssVery well,'' was the cordial reply, "and he happens to be sitting at the next table, the third man from the end"
 "Indeed!" replied the astonished Scotchman. T have also had some let ters from Prof. Or, of the University of Michigan. Probably you know noth- ing of hin? ?"
 Ion the contrary, know him very well. There he sits, near the corner of the room; the man with whislSers and gold spectacles."
 This was too much of a coincidence for the nettled metaphysician, who re- garded it merely as American humor; but he went on, stifHy:
 Well, sir, I have had relations with another American, a minister near New York, one Dr. Hillis-''
 "Oh," laughed back the other, tap ping himself on the breast, .sI am he''
 With a snort of indignation, the Scotchman fled the room As the New York Tribune explains, American hu- nor had been carried too far.''

DINNER TO YALE TEAM.
Players Make Speeches and Relate In
 cidents of Their Big Games.

Twenty-one Yale football players, comprising the regulars and number of substitutes of this years victorious team, were guests of the Yale club Ill West Forty fourth street, New York, last night at dinner given in thelr honor After the dinner there was 2 reception, at which speechmaking, the singing of Yale songs and congratula- tions for the players for their fine work on the gridiron were in order. President Barnard of the club presided and the first man he called on for a speech was the football captain, George Chadwick MT Chadwick talked entertainingly of the seasons campaign and paid a tribute to each of his players. Walter Camp, who is Yales head football adviser, spoke next, and he was followed by Julian Curtiss, George A. Adee, William E. Davenport and ex-Judge Henry How land. Judge Rowland spdke in glow ing terms of the teams two gig vic tories, and also paid tributes to Yale's adversaries and told of the keen rival ry and good feeling between Harvard and Yale.
 Mike Murphy, the Yale trainer, was one of those whose eloquence and di- rectness of speech held the close atten- ton of his listeners. His talk was pronounced a "corker." Yale spirit and the valuable assistance which Walter Camp gave the team were the chief themes Of Murphy's discourse. "So long as Yale has Walter Camp" he said, little else matters, for she will be all right" ..-
 Each member of the team was called on to say something and each respond ed with more or less of breyity, relat- ing experiences of the Harvard and Princeton games. Glass, the noted guard, was of few words, as always, but mentioned how sorry he was that he did not play last year. His hearers may have thought, though they did not say so, that opposing teams were sorry he played this year. Metcalf, the dashing half back, who made the long run against Harvard, told of that run. He confessed that he was not quite sure of where he was when making the run, that he felt rather lonely when scooting down the field, and was somewhat disturbed by doubts lest he was running the wrong way.
 The festivities lasted until late and the "brek-e-kek-kek, 5 ''Boo1ah,'' ''Bam- boo Tree'' and other Yale slogans of rejoicing echoed throughout the club house

E1GHTY-sEvEN YEARS TO COOL
Lava Streams from Mexican Volcano, Joru1Io, Still Hot Beneath
 the Surface.

1t is scientifically reported that the lava streams from Vesuvius in 1858 were so hot 12 years later that steam was issuing from the cracks and crew ices, while the lava beds from the erup- tion of Etpa in 1787 were found to be steaming hot just below the top crust as late as 1840, says Stray Stories.
 But still more remarkable are the scientific reports of the volcano Jorullo, in Mexico. This sent forth immense streams of lava in 1759. In 17s0 the lava beds were examined by a party of scientists, and it was found that stick thrust into the crevices in- stantly ignited, although there was no discomfort experienced in walking on the hardened crust.
 again, some 40 years after the erup- tion, it was visited by scientists and reported to be steaming in many places, and even ST years after the eruption two columns of steaming va DOT were found to be issuing from the crevices. Sometimes the upper crust of such stream of lava cools so that plants and lichens make precarious growth on the surface, while few feet beneath the lava is almost red hn*.

A Woman Wanted to Read All Her

A tall woman with flowing auburn hair

trouble yesterday just before the COM

Vices by her persistent efforts to gain ad-
mittance to the floor Of the House in order
that she might read several lengthy pa

the attention of Lieutenant Burrows Of the
Capitol force by her strange actions in the
rotunda. The lieutenant finally elected her
from the building, and she next made her
appearance on the portico leading to the
House.
There she encountered Detective Fred N.
Webber and several uniformed officers. The
woman demanded entrance to the House,
and being refused, created a scene. She
carried about one hundred pages of closely
written manuscript, which she informed the
detective were her original poems on pa
