TEMPTED, HE ATE.
A Story of Heinrich Heine and Z
TOOthsOme Lyons Sausage.


TOOthsOme Lyons Sausage.
Returning from a journey to the
south of France Heinrich Heine met q
friend, O German violinist, In Lyons,
who gave him large sausage that had
been made in Lyons, with the request
to deliver it to a mutual acquaintance,
a homeopathic physician. in Paris.
Heine promised to attend to the COM
mission and intrusted the delicacy to
the care of his wife, who was travel
ing with him. But as the post chaise
was very slow and he soon became
very hungry. on the advice of his wife
both tasted of the sausage, which
dwindled with every mile.
Arriving at Paris, Heine did not dare
to send the remainder to the physician,
and yet he wished to keep his promise.
So he cut off the thinnest possible
slice with his razor. wrapped it in a
sheet of vellum paper and inclosed 1t
in an envelope, with the following
note:
Dear Doctor-From your scientific in
veStigations we learn that the millionth
part of a certain substance brings about
the greatest results. ! beg, therefore,
your kind acceptance of the accompany
ing millionth part of a Lyons sausage,
which our friend gave me to deliver to
you. If homeopathy is a truth, then this
little piece will have the same effect on
you as the whole sausage. Your

A Gift of the Gods.

A great singer is a gift of the gods
and should belong by divine right to all
the people. Whenever a Santley, o
Patti, a Jenny Lind. Campanini, an
Edouard de Reszke, or a Nilsson is
born the government should claim him
or her for the nation, to sing for
everybody as an enlightening. uplifting,
soul inspiring influence. Libraries may
help few bookworms from time to
time. A great singer would help mil
lions of depressed souls during life

George Green Coolidge, of East Or

dealer, to buy and sell stuff, and also
to operate push cart in that city.
Coolidge is member of the class of

University, and at the late game be-
tween Yale and Harvard he made a
wager with II. e. Johnson, ,lr., also of
East Orange, that Harvard would
score. The penalty Of losing was that
he should take out a junk dealers
license, costing 50, which he did, but
did not reckon on the fact that he
would be obliged to make a weekly re-
port TO police headquarters of all pur-
chases or business, whether he does
any or not.

which cell-like recesses belonging to diff

Modern Life and sedative..

London Spectator: It is only doctor,
and those connected with the sale of drugs
who know the immense amount Of soda
tives consumed by the public at the pres-
ent day. Every man with a large ao-
quaintance numbers among his immediate
friends some who take them in one form
or another. There are few who do NOT
know ill-advised and enthusiastic indi-
viduals who are always insisting on Civ
ing every one dose of the last new
specific against headache or sleeplessness.
or some of the various nervous disorders
common to our advanced civilization.
These drugs are many and various. and
are sold under different conditions Many
of them are supplied over the counter
without any restrictions as ordinary arti-
cles Of commerce, among which we may
mention all the bromides and other drugs
which, on the one hand. diminish pain.
produce sleep and decrease irritabi]ity.
and, on the other hand. lessen the vigor
of the organism, alter the quality of the
blood for the worse and tend to shorten
life. Although the sale of still more DO
tent drugs or compounds of them is re-
stricted to registered chemists, there is
frequently very little difficulty in procur-
ing those which are generally known as
patent medicines and sold under the pro-
lection of the government stamp This Is
especially the case with preparations OF
morphia
