The Young MedicO Who Thought H.
Was Doomed to Paralysis.

"FOr the first year or two a man
studies medicine" said a young physi-
clan. "he has every disease he learns
about. In my day we had Il MAJ
among us who felt sure he was going
to be paralyzed. He was healthy as
the next man. but that seemed to him
to make his disease more insidious. He
used to sit with his legs crossed and
hit his knee to see If his refieXes were
all right. Every time he failed to hit
the right spot he would look down at
his motionless foot and say:
"'BOys, this is awful
"He used to stand up. put his heels
together and shut his eyes to see if
he'd stagger. And he always declared
he did. and then he'd look green around
the gills and sigh till even the fellow
who knew he had heart disease got
tired of it. Paralysis and nothing hut
paralysis was on the mans mind. and
he reckoned on being stricken at any
time. When he was in his room he
wore a pair Of slippers-the kind you
can walk into without STOPPING and it
was his habit to leave things just wher-
ever he happened to step out of them.
One night when he had gone to bed
somewhat the worse for the evenings

to the floor. About 8 O'Clock next morn

ding yell from him. We rushed in.
There he stood. tNst as he had stepped,
out of bed, his feet in his slippers. He
pointed to them with Il trembling fin

of utter despair.
"'Boys.' said he thickly. boys. look

An Irish Answer.

The London Chronicle tells a story
Of an incident in Il Donegal village
showing the friendly Irish habit OF
giving a pleasing answer in preference
to the bald truth. II want some pep

itor, coming straight to the point
"Sure We do" smiled the Irish shop
man, keeping off 1t. How much are

did not move. "And isn't it two ounces
a penny they are? answered the Irish.

all" said the Irishman, coming reluc-

smile Of all.

POSTAGE STAMPS.
The Wn''ed Ones Net Uncle s

The Nn';ed Ones Net Uncle Sam
"a Million q year.
An - .enced clerk in a branch
post Office Uptown says that Uncle Sam
Is in pocket every year more than
$1,O00.0OO by purchase Of postage
stamps which are used.
"How many stamps" he says, do
you lose through carrying them care
lessly in youS pockets and fishing them
out again glued together and useless?
How many do you put In n corner Of
your pocketbook, finding them again
months later looking like anything but
postage stamps? OF course nobody
ever thinks Of sending such stamps in
for redemption. Suppose the waste l
am speaking of averaged 20 cents
annually for each business man. The
total would be enormous.
"Hot weather was a great revenue
maker for the government before the

cases are never used.
"Some business houses collect sucl,
envelopes and redeem them. but few
take the trouble to do this. Think Of

too. that are never used. Lots Of per-
son are careless of putting stamps on
letters or papers. and they fall off.
Then the matter Is held up for double
postage on the other end Of the line.
"A great many persons put on too
much postage. They slap two two-cent
stamps on a letter that would have
gone for . cents. 1t is amazing how
little information usually well in
formed persons have about different
classes Of mail matter. The pay for
it, too. and pay well. The beauty Of

The habits of people in general dc
not seem SO bad when one considers

that most people don't know. don't

The alimentary receptacle, the stom-
ach or vat in which foods and liquids
are received and mixed, is habitually
converted by many persons into a
chemical retort for all sorts of drugs

organs of the body. from dandruff to
