COMFORT IN HAVING GOUT,

Some Are Proud of the Complaint Be-
cause 1t Argues High Living.
"Gout is the most fashionable of all
the Diseases said Il prominent doctor.
in spite of the pain and inconyen-
ience accompanying it, the majority
of my gouty patients are inclined to
be proud of their af1liction. | look
upon the popularity of the disease as
the result of its associations. Ancient
Greek physicians of the fourteenth cen
tury were the first to use the term
'gout,' and they attributed the disease
to overindulgence and luxury. In the
works of the early Greek writer's the
word is frequently used, particularly
in Ovid and Pliny, and Seneca in his
ninety-tifth epistle mentions the prey
alence of gout among the Roman la
dies Of his day as one of the results of
high living. Sir Thomas Watson says:
The instances are not few of men of
good sense, and masters of themselves,
who, being warned by one visitation of
the gout, have thenceforward resolute
ly abstained from rich living and from
and who have been rewarded for their
prudence and self-denial by complete
immunity from any return of the dis
ease. or upon whom, at any rate, its
future assaults have been few and fee
ble.'
THUS the word gout has indicated
rich living and opulence for so long
time that, although it does not invariY
ably attack the rich and well fed
there is always smile and the usual
pleasantries when a sickness is pro-
nounced gout You have the gout, old
fellow! Been treating yourself too well,
eh? | know physicians who, to humor
their patients, take advantage of the
general respect people have for gout
by giving the name to various ether
ailments, such as rheumatism. The
term is much more popular and the
symptoms are somewhat similar. |
have seen people who absolutely brag
ged about having the gout. | remem-
ber hearing a conversation on the sub
ject between two old women and the
voice of the speaker was high and
boastful when she said: My son John
is laid up with the gout. II is the real
thing too, red spots and all the regular
symptoms. 1t is a result of too high
living the doctor says "-Philadel-

The Republic of Canada.

Twenty years ago 20 per cent of the
people of Canada would have wei
coined the annexation of the Domin-
ion to the United States. Ten years
ago only 10 per cent of the men who
think thought seriously of such a
move, and to-day no one ever men
tions the matter at all.
Twenty years ago only few dream
ers dreamed of the Republic of Cana
da. Ten years later 10 per cent of
the people were in favor of it, and to-
day twenty out Of every hundred Ca
nadians would welcome the news that
Canada had cast off the cable that
moors her to the Motherland and had
blossomed out as nation.
The relations between the people of
the United States and of Canada will
grow more friendly and pleasant as
the years go by, because of the whole
sale swapping of citizens now going
on. Millions of Canadians have gone
to the States, and in the next decade
millions of Americans will have cross
ed into Canada. We shall like each
other better as we see each other
more. for we North Americans are the
people-all of us.-Cy Warman, in

MEN AND CORSETS.
Adoption of Male Stays Will Change
Styles Greatly.

Adoption of Male Stays Will Change
Styles Greatly.
The nation would appear to be on
the verge of n radical change In the
prevailing general styles of mems cloth
ing of both custom and ready -to-wear
manufacture. The reason for it is the
brisk demand for male stays and other
varieties of form supporters for men,
Corsets for men are more in demand
than ever before and the corset shaped
waistcoat has also been introduced. Il
is asserted that the wearing of corsets
by men is more needed than ever. For
eign customs have great influence in
the matter. but at the same time it is
claimed that the standard of elegance
and comfort TOR mem is best attained
by tight lacing," while the sensation
of being tightly laced in graceful,
well-made pair of corests is superb. :"
II is contended that it is the aim of
fashion to cover the deficiencies of ma
ture: that the corset is a hygienic ne
cessity and an aid In establishing
beauty lines of carriage supports the
abdomen. strengthens the spine, pro
notes upright shoulders, increases
chest measurement and is thoroughly
practical, producing agility of move

BIRD CAME TO COMFORT HER.
Strange Story Told by Jewish Woman
Mourning Her Husbands Death.

Mrs. Abram ID. Davis, of 436 Ash
land avenue, tells Il strange story. Her
husband. who was II prominent mer-
chant, died ten days ago, and she. in
accordance with the customs of the
Jewish religion, retired to mourning
chamber with her sister-in-law. Mrs.
Ii. Friedenberg, of Bradford, Pa.
The period of religious mourning ex-
pired at . O'Clock yesterday morning.
and just at that hour a bird as large
as a sparrow and as black as night
flew out of the gas CRATE, which was
burning, and alighted al Mrs Davis's
feet. Both women tried to scare the
bird away by waving their hands at
1t, but it stayed three minutes, hop
ped about on a table and finally van
ished through the front door.
Mrs. Davis, who had been grief
stricken because of the death of her
husband, to whom she had been mar
ried thirty years became cheerful at
once. She tells her friends that it bore
message direct from God telling her
all would be well. An examination of
the chimney showed that the bird must
have come down the hot chimney
through a hole about an inch square.
Small blackblrds are foreign TO these
parts, and cynical persons say it must
have been Il sparrow with coat Of
SCOT. But Mrs. Davis's story has crea-
ted stir in the fashionable district
where she lives. One of the persons
who saw the bird is a Mr. Bernstein.
