Play Was Amended.

A line in the second act of a current
burlesque, which has almost made a
record in New York, never fails to amuse
the manager of the performance, al
though the general public probably sees
very little in 1t. Its humor, even for the
manager, does not lie in the words so
much as in the fact that it is the only
speech written by the author that re-
mains In the text. One by one the au-
thor's lines were eliminated. Clever
speeches by the comedians were put in
their place, and other jokes suggested
by the company supplanted the original
text The result was 1ibretto that
lasted a long time, and as the author
continued to draw his royalties, he made
I'd objection.-N Y Sun.

LENGTH OF HUMAN LIFE.
Some Eminent Physicians Think
Their Art Wards On Death
for Too Long a Time.

A new and rather startling idea is
being promulgated by certain eminent
physicians. 1t is that modern medical
science and its allied science of santa
ton is injuring the human race by pre-
serving too many lives, says the New
York Press. It is the better dead"
theory reduced to a purely physiologic-
al basis and viewed in the cold, white
light of medical science. A short time
ago DR.. Chaplin, superintendent of health
Of Providence, r. l., read paper before
a medical convention in Boston, In
which he called attention to the eject
likely to be produced upon future gen.
erations by the saving by medical skill
Of the lives of weaklings who. instead OF
dying as they would have done In the
natural course of events a few years
ago, now have their lives prolonged I'M
til they are married and perpetuate
their own infirmities and weak vitality
In their children. He seriously ques-
toned whether medical skill was not
doing altogether too much for the gen.
eral good of the human race.
Now DR.. Ernest w. White, president
Of the London Medico-Psychologica as
ISOLATION, declares that one Of the
principal causes of the alarming in
crease of insanity in England is the
fact that ''the old, rough law of the sur
vival of the f1ttest is not so forcible as
formerly Weaklings who would have
died in infancy In olden days are now
brought up to marry and perpetuate the
faulty stock" The course of action
for the medical practitioner which
might logically be deduced from such
teachings as these is one from which
both DR.. Chaplin and DR.. White would
undoubtedly shrink. When the med
zeal profession ceases to believe that its
first duty is to save life, let the conse-
quences be what they may, the medical
profession will have ceased to be OF
value to mankind.
The idea of improving the race by the
elimination of its weaklings is older
than civilization and was practiced be-
fore Esculapius. 1t is to-day a custom
among many savage tribes, yet neither
In the past nor in the present has 1t re-
suited in the production of an ideal race.
Sparta Is become a name, attached TO a
short-lived experiment, and the race 1t
produced has utterly vanished away.
A stringeRtly enforced law against the
marriage Of those manifestly unfit to
perpetuate the race would, however, be
Of benefit to humanity and is probably
as far as the advocates of the better
dead" theory would go in the practical
application of their ideas.

SULTAN's UNEASY HEAD.
Turkeys Ruler Pays Dearly for Quart
to Protect Him Every
Night.

The lot OF the sultan of Turkey is no
an enviable one, and his terror at pres
ent is such that he is paying 5000
night for a guard which insures more
or less tranquil repOse. Sleep at thai
price is a pretty expensive necessity
That amount of money is daily received
by the members of the special military
staff which guards Abdul Hands bed
room, and which consists of two gen
erals, colonel, major. a captain and
several soldiers. For their nights Tori
each of the two generals gets so Turkish
pounds-er about $235-the colonel $40
the major, $35; the captain, $50, and each
soldier one dollar, the entire amount az
gregating slightly over $500 in Amer
lean money. The officers and men ge
their fees every morning Immediately
after they have been relieved, and don"
have to wait for 1t, like some pretty bis
nations to whom Abdul Hamid owef
money.
The expensive night guard of the sui
tan has been maintained by him ONLY
since the recent assassination OF the
royal couple of Servia- OF course the
timorous ruler of Turkey always hai
been practically we'll guarded at night
but the murders at Belgrade scared Alb
dull Hamid out of his wits, and he imme
diately determined that he would sur
round his bedchamber with the most
vigilant men who could be secured, ant
make it to their interest to protect him
The command of the special night guard
is intrusted to eight of the sultan's mosi
trusted generals, two of whom are OF
duty every night. Owing chiefly to THU
and other precautions that the ruler
adopted recently it is estimated that the
weekly expense Of running Yildiz kiosl
is over $50, 600

INHALING RADIUM.
Newly Discovered Metal to BE Uses
In the Cure of Com
sumption.

Radium has wrought such curative r.
fects in so many diseases that a new
promise nowadays is not regarded with
the wonder that attended the early ap
plication of this medicinal metal, sayi
the Boston Advertiser. But I'm the sue
cess of the most recent experiments In
inhaling the emanations of radium int
the lungs as a cure for phthisis (com-
monty known as consumption there liet
the prediction Of even more astounding
results to the medical world. While IA

grains of radium, and as his work h1
been in treating cases Of skin tubercu

cure for consumption.
It is known that bit of this metal
placed in dark room, will make a dia
mond shine, so powerful is its radio o.
ray activity, and accordingly the eman
atoms of the metal, when absorbed ints
the lungs, in the few cases already tried
accomplish greater results in five min

treatment would in five years. Tn

is stopped, the surfaces heal over, ant

been well tested at our consumptive hos
pitfalls, we shall know its full value.

The Effects of Coffee.

1t is well known that the Moors are
inveterate coffee drinkers, especially
the merchants, who sit in their bazaars
and drink coffee continually during the
day. 1t has been noticed that almost
invariably when these coffee drinkers
reach the age of 40 or IS their eyesight
begins to fail, and by the time they get
to be so years old they become blind.
One is forcibly impressed by the num-
Der of blind men that are seen about
the streets of the city of Fee. the capt.
tai of Morocco. 1t is invariably attrib-
uted to the excessive use of coffee, and
the opinion has been confirmed by Eu-
ropean physicians living there.
