The Rncket shop.

The name bucket shop is said to
have originated In Chicago when legit-
innate brokers would not handle an or
der for less than 5000 bushels, and
lot Of places sprang up where men of
small means could speculate on a tri-
fling capital, as small as a dollar, and
these spectators were spoken Of con-
temptuously as buying and selling
wheat by the bucket full. The term
was eventually applied to all broker
age in stocks and grain when the
amounts dealt in were smaller than
legitimate dealers or brokers would
handle and more particularly to places
where there were really no legitimate
transactions, but where the proprietor
and customer simply bet on the mar
ket. the proprietor allowing the Gus
toner to take either end of the bet in
consideration of a commission, which
In reality is his percentage in the game.

Do Not sleep ON Your Let side.

When a patient complains Of a bad
taste in his mouth every morning ON
waking up, says a physician, the first
question | ask him Is as TO the position
he assumes when going TO sleep. An
immense number of people sleep ON
the left side, and this is the most com
mon cause of the unpleasant taste
which is generally attributed to dys-
pepsia. II a meal has been taken with
In two or three hours Of going to bed,
to sleep on the left side is TO give the
stomach a task which it is difficult In
the extreme to perform. The student
Of anatomy knows that all food enters
and leaves the stomach on the right
side, and hence sleeping on the left
side soon after eating involves a sort
of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive TO sound repose.
The action Of the heart is also inter-
fered with considerably, and the lungs
are unduly compressed. 1t Is probable
that lying on the back Is the most nat
ural position, but few men can rest
easily so, and hence 1t Is best TO culti'
vate the habit OF sleeping on the right
side. 1t is very largely a matter of
habit, and the sooner it is acquired the
better for the sleeper and the worse
for the physician.

PossIbilitie. of the Feet.

If instead of the cramping imprison-
ment Of boots and shoes the foot from
infancy were allowed free and nat

whether under such conditions 1t might
not be rendered capable Of performing
other functions besides those Of loco
motion and sustaining the weight Of
the body. Certain at least 1t is that

Eggs.

An English traveller who has visited
every nation in the world is authority
for the statement that one food Is uni
versal throughout all countries. "There
is not part Of the world" he says,
where you cannot get an egg" While
in western China, however, he at first
had some difficulty in getting even
eggs. The natives could not understand
him and refused to recognize the pic
lures he drew as pictures Of eggs. "The
way got out OF the difficulty" he
adds, was that | squatted down on
my launches, tapped my wings and
cock-odoodledood until the entire ma
tion grasped what wanted, and was
simply provided with hundreds OF
eggs"

They Are Moving.

There was lots of fun in the vicinity
of the new City building, yesterday
First a dignified city official might be
seen scurryng across the Common with
pile of books under one arm and a
bottle of ink and a few pens in his
hands. and then there might be truck
ture moving more slowly. About every
one VINO went in the direction of the
building during the day carried some
bit of office furniture. 1t was moving
day for the city fathers and they rather
enjoyed it, as they do not expect an
other one for 100 years, more or less
There were busy times in the building
itself. and every one was as happy as
a bride in her new home, getting set
tied in the new and elegant quarters.
1t will probably be many weeks before
everyone is comfortably settled, but a
good start has been made and the place
to find the city officials is now the City
building. The carpenters and painters
are still at work on odd jobs and there
are enough of these to keep good
number busy.
The city marshal will still have quar-
terS with the mayor, as MS OWN nave

for the cell room have not yet arrived
and that corner is still unfinished. Few
of the offices in fact are fully COM
pleted, but the work is being rushed
along as rapidly as possible and

interior of the building. The regular
July meeting will be held in the city
council rooms, this evening.
