Diseases Known by Numbers.

In the larger city hospitals the
young doctors on the house staff and
the visiting physicians never use the
nine or ten syllable words that they
employ in making report of clinic
for medical journal or at meeting
OF the County Medical society. They
refer to diphtheria as case of dip"
in some hospitals, and other com.
plants, such as typhoid fever or pneu-
monfa, are abbreviated in the same
way, 50 that the physicians and nurses
understand them, even if relatives who
visit the patients do not. But in most
OF the hospitals numbers are substi
tuted for names. The visiting physi-
elan is told that a patient is suffering
from a case of No. /, No. 2, or No.
., meaning thereby smallpox, typhoid
lever, or diphtheria, respectively. AS
such they go down on the hospital
books.

PASSING of the Mixed Drink.

People are abandoning the mixed
drinks that were SO popular a few
years ago. 1t is not hard to stretch
ones memory to recall the time when
John Collins, sherry cobblers, brandy
smashes and similar mixed drinks
were common; but they are rarely
seen now, and even the mint julep
is fast losing it's popularity. The
bartenders say cocktails are being
supplanted by straight drinks, and
they do not mix one drink now to
ten they put up dozen years ago.
Straight drinks and highballs are the
most popular ones to-day, but tho
cause is unexplained.

DO not differ in general appearance
from those OF several centuries ago,
although the discovery Of the art Of
printing has made them more plenti.

The cards in use to-day are derived
from a stick game, supposed to have
originated in America. Fifty small
sticks are pack; the game" was
originally for the player to divide the
sticks rapidly with his two hands, the
opponent guessing which hand held
the larger number.
Owners of sticks spent rainy days
in carving them. The Asiatics Dor.
rowed the game and carved more elab-
crate counters out of ivory; those with
different carvings grow to have diff.
ferent values: arranging them In
groups of fours made it necessary to
