4 Good Prescription for a Patient
of The Sort.

Frau X, an invalid lady, attended by
her maid, arrived recently at a we'll
known cure resort in Germany, and
proceeded on the morning after her ar
rival to call on a doctor recommended
by her Berlin physician, whose name
we will also suppress. Size presented err
letter of recommendation, which the
medical man read after nearing from
the patient her version Of an interim
nable list Of ailments from which she
declared she was suffering. He shook
his head, felt her pulse and examined
her heart. and then turned to the let
ter, which purported to be the physi-
clans description of her maladies. The
letter read as follows: "Pup, fens, led
iega, N. S. ord, ent. Ii. christ, nixzi.
chen, Sieheria, berdi, efad. ernne, zei.
naus. s. e. h. r an dervi. ellie. md. ct.
Versta.-N. D.. E.. N" The doctor pc
rused the mes again and saw that the
letters when put in Their proper orde-
ran as follows: "Rupfen sic die Cans
ordentlich, ihr list nix. Ziehen sic ihr
aber die Federn enzeln aus, sehr lang
sam, damit so ihr gotte zwei Monate
Ruhe hat und er viell.cht geSundet.
Verstanden.." In English these words
mean: Pluck the old goose thorough
ly We'll. There is nothing the matter
with her. But pull ou- the feathers
one by one, very slowlJ-, so that her
husband may have a couple of months
rest, by which means he may perhaps
be restored to health. DO you under
stand?"
The doctor turned again to his pa
tient, felt her pulse. shook his head,
and with a still more nx1ou express
sion of face gave her advice: MY
good lady, your malady is indeed Of a
very serious nature, but it is not at all
dangerous. You must so through a
severe cure here for at least two
months. You must rise at 6 o'clock in
the morning-take a walk for an hour
before breakfast on an empty stomach
after lie down for an hour.

At 80 you must go to bed"
"Cl! but that is dreadful" rejoined
the latent. And 1 am to go through
this for eight weeks NO, for two
months. after which time, If o con-
~scientiously follow out my Instructions

FATIGUE SENSE.
The Feeling That Notifies Man When
L Is Time TO Rest.

Il hardly knoT who are most to
be pitied, the rich or idle and lazy
who underworld or the very poor who
must overwork to live, says a writ
er in Ainslee's. "The former grow
dabby or tense, according to their
heredity, in beth muscle and mind.
become fastidious, fnicky and sen
timental, are especially prone to
yield to temptations of drink and
excuses, must ainlessly change
their interests, location aud pur-
suits from sheer ennui, are easily
bored and finally lose the power Of
being strenuous about anything.
The effects Of an inactive life upon
the offspring are sometimes sadly
and markedly degenerate.
"The overworked, especially If
young, are prone to many forms Of
arrest. Children are undergrown in
both height and weight. They are
robbed Of the paradise Of leisure,
which is the literal translation of
the Greek word school. The high
ideals and ambitions normal to ado
lescence fade into dull state of
apathy and Encouragement and at
worst Of smoldering revolt against
the existing order Of things. To be
always tired is miserable, and indi-
vidual or social misery is a powder
magazine liable to explode at any
time.
sEMan is endowed with a fatigue
sense that tells him when he is
tired. It'seems to be a specific feel
ing, due perhaps to accumulated
products Of decomposition in the
muscles. This pain tire is a warn
ing to stop or let up, lit is, however,
possible to press on In defiance Of it,
and if we persist in so doing there
comes a point when this fatigue
sense is itself fatigued and tired out
and ceases to act. This is when
runners get their second breath
when those beginning night work
have fought through the period of
sleepiness that comes when they
have been wont to go to bed and feel
very wide awake and alert, as if they
could go on forever. But the day
of reckoning comes. They are now
living on their capital, which is be-
ing rapidly overdrawn."

What a Dozen Is.

The child is taught at school thai
dozen means twelve every time,
but when the child grows into a
man he finds that dozen is a very
elastic term. A bakers dozen is
thirteen, and SO is a publishers or q
news agents in many parts of the
world. In some sections dozen of
fish means twenty-six, and there are
other anomalies Of this kind. But
to find dozen indicating anything
from two to fifty it is necessary to
go to the earthenware trade.
Here the size and weight of ar
ticles decide how many make a doz-
en-, and in jugs, bowls, plates and
so on there are two, four, six, eight
or more to the dozen. A dozen COM
posed Of twelve articles is a very I'M
usual thing in the wholesale pottery
trade, and as a result there are few
clerkships more difficult to hold
than in this line. [ tried the work
once and failed ANONYMOUSLY. To
have to find the cost Of 500 articles
at so much a dozen when that dozen
may mean anything is a very diff
cult task until a man gets thorough
ly used to it.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat.

A man who was given to grum-

tory rheumatism and was carefully
nursed by his wife, who was very
devoted to him IN spite of his fault
finding disposition. His suffering
caused her to burst into tears some
times as she sat at his bedside.
One day friend Of the invalid
came in and asked him how he was
getting on.
BADLY, badlyp he exclaimed.
"And it's all my wife's fault"
s'Is it possible?" asked the friend
in surprise.
"Yes. The doctor told me that
damp places were bad for me, and
there that woman sits and cries just
to make the air moist in the room. ("

find it is from the Roman word

EAGER TO GET MARRIED.
Prospective Bridegroom Steals to Pay
For His Wedding.

Marysville. O., March 2S.-Robert Fo-
gle. "a young man residing south of this
city was so determined to marry Miss
Mary Bennett, a beautiful young lady
of this city, that he employed means
which have got him in trouble, and
which have greatly perturbed the
young lady. 1t is alleged that he called
upon his sweetheart Sunday evening,
proposed marriage and was accepted.
Being out of funds, he went to the
livery stable of A. S. Turner last night
and engaged a sample wagon under the
name of Henry Vaughn. He drove the
wagon to the farm of w. G. Mitchell,
near New California. and loaded up II
bushels of fine clover seed, already
sacked, and brought the seed to the
Yerkes elevator in this city, where he
was given a check by Ernest Hammer
for $69. 05.
The man insisted on cash. but finally
accepted the check. Hammer became
suspicious and notified the authorities.
Fogle, it is said. took the check to
Southland & Courts shoe store and pur-
chased a pair of shoes and gave the
check for them, receiving the balance
in money. Hammer then stopped pay
ment on the check at the bank, and
Marshal Murphy was notified that the
man had boarded a freight train for
Columbus and Immediately started in
pursuit. He was arrested at Plain City
and had S64 of the money on his per-
son, $50 bill being in his hat. He adj
mitted the stealing, and was brought
here and placed in Jail. His trial will
be held tomorrow afternoon. The we'd
ding has been Indefinitely postponed.

CARP ARE NO GOOD.
So Says Ex-State Fish Commissioner
Wiley

George w. Wiley, who has just turned
over the office of state fish commissioner
to his successor, says that German carp
is of no account for food and he does not
furnish any for Kansas streams and
ponds. He has on hand about 5000 croppie.
bass and red-eyed perch for distribution
in Kansas. In discussing the relative value
of various kinds of fish for Kansas
streams Mr.. Wiley says:
THE best fish for Kansas streams are
bass. crappie and red-eyed perch. The
bass are the most prolific and are pre-
the crappie and perch are the next best
they will not do well as the bass.
1t has taken the people a long time to
learn that the German carp are almost
useless as food, but it Is seldom
that there is a call for them. 1 simply
become tired of explaining why. Every
farmer who puts them in his ponds learned
food
1t is claimed that Senator Plumb was
responsible for the great number OF Ger
man carp planted in the ponds of Kansas
a few years ago. He told some one how
prolific they were and added that they
made good food The report was circu-
lated over the state that the carp would
flourish in cattle ponds where other fish
would die, and the senator was flooded
with requests to have carp sent to this
state from the government hatchery. This
state fish warden with the fry, a govern
ment fish car was sent to Kansas and carp
were distributed literally to those who ap
piled for them. 1t did not require a great
length of time to learn that the sucker
was as delicate DIS a trout when compared
hard to find a pond in the state stocked
with them.

THEY FAVOR GORMAN.
Southern Democrats Want the Sena-
tor For President.

Washington, March 2S.-Lewis Nixon,
the Tammany leader, has been in Wash
ington several days comforting with the
Democrats in regard to national and
congressional politics. In discussing
this subject he said: THE southern
Democrats in the main are favorable
to the nomination of Mr.. German for
the presidency. They will be content
with his selection to unite all factions.
But, realizing that the vote of the
state of New York is important in e.
national election, they are willing to ac-
cept New York candidate for the pres
idency on condition that the Tammany
and anti-Tammany factions in New
York agree upon a candidate of the
character of Judge Parker, for in
stance, or man of his record and af-
filiation But there must be absolute
harmony among New York Democrats
if their candidate is to be accepted The
southern Democrats will not go into
the campaign with the risk of the presi-
Dental candidate being knitted by one
faction of the New York Democracy"
The Tammany leader was greatly i'm
pressed by the attitude of the southern
Democrats, and promised to submit
their views to the political leaders of
New York Mr.. Nixon does not seem
to be confident that the differences ex-
listing in New York can be harmonized,
but it was evident that he is of the be-
lief that New York will have to make a
hard fight to secure the nomination I'M
less an agreement is reached.
