BACKS TELL CHARACTER.
Temperament of Men at Lunch Counter
 Indicated in Their Attitudes.

You can tell them by their backs the men who have happy homes, or have left them to eat in chophouses. There are all kinds of backs in @ row at lunch counter when the rush is on and they show all kinds of charac- ter and temperament and all stages of the lunch counter habit.
 The man whose back is round hump is an old stager in the place. He drops into a seat without looking around and without any attempt to preserve the human form divine in any of its proper dignity. Naturally, his head drops down near the counter just over the place where his plate will be. He gives his order without any more than a glance at the list of delicacies hung on the wall. Ten to one he has favorite dish, and the waiter doesn't need more than a murmur from him to know what he wants.
 This man never seems to be in a hur- ry. He may not have much time to spare, but he knows that he cannot save any time by sitting bolt upright in the chair and looking nervously at the walters after the manner of the man who only occasionally takes his meals in a chophouse.
 The man whose back is just as straight in the chophouse chair as it is on the street is either bubbling over with energy, or less often Is built that way, He is generally not a fat man nor inclined to be at all stout, and it is easy to guess why.
 Next to backs. the most interesting thing in the ordinary chop house is the names the walters have for the diff ferent dishes. They are far and away greater mystery than the tales the backs tell. Among them is "Side a horse, to come drumming" It is be- lieved to have some connection with roast beef sandwich, with horseradish, but no one has yet volunteered a con- vincing explanation.

been called back to Neptune yesterday afternoon.
 The poets beverage in Neptune, Ves- ta explained, is made up of little pellets of universal spiritualized substance made of the essence of being, which the manipu!ators dexterously handle with a sort of tweezers. They touch it against an electric bar and instantly fumes arise like unto steam.
 When one breathes this efferves. cence ones entire being is tensioned up until every fiber is taut, and the whole body Quivers with expectancy. This greatly excites the medulla oblon- gata and stimulates the sub-ligual glands"
 Can this be beer?
 Then Vesta explained how while sit- ting on Neptune, she had met her "soul mate" Did you ever notice how these people who travel to Neptune and back always have "soul nla.es?" It is strange and peculiar, but true, that when we meet a person who has "soul mate" our inner being shies violently, tren- bles in every limb, shorts and paws the roadway.
 Vesta then went on at length to ex- plain how her soul mate had kissed her without being pulled by the Neptunian police for sparkling in the parks-and all that kind of stuff.

DOCTORS FEES.

In deciding the case of Dr. M. P. Morrell of St. Louis, against pr. J. J. Lawrence of New York, Judge Ryan. of the former city, rules that the wealth of the patient must not be considered in making out the bill. "The char acter of the service, the seriousness ot the complaint, the skill and time re-. quired, the result reached" may all be considered; not the patients pocket book.
 The case was one which involved travelling and a dedicate surgical oper- ation. The bill rendered was $30, 900, and the jury allowed s12,OOO, but Judge Ryan set aside the verdict as excessive. A high Michigan court had a few months earlier announced in a similar decision that a doctor had no right to charge a rich patient more, simply be- cause he was rich, than a poor one.
 This may be quite true as a leg Il principle. Yet physicians and patients alike habitually disregard it. A wealthy man whose child is saved from death by some marvel of medical skill grate- fully shuts his eyes when he writes the doctors check. It is we'll that he does so. For the physician who takes d fee of $1,000 or more in one case will exercise the same exceptional skill for a poor patient and make no charge whatever. And it is the large fees of those who are able to pay which enable him to be generous to the poor.
 The medical profession is likely long to remain an exception to the business rule of "one price" even if fat fees are not legally recoyera able from fat wall lets.-New York World.

THE DOCTORS VISITS.

More patients become dissatisfied be- cause they are not visited often enough than because they are required to pay for excess of service. One of the most grateful families that I ever knew was one that had just paid a young medical grafter for fourteen visits made be- tween 5 and II p. m. of a single day, when two visits would have been amp " sufficient. Small wonder that some of the younger men yield to this temp tation, and shortly become known to the profession as repeaters; but these soon lose caste.-World Today.

EARLY RlSli.G.
Journal.

(An American physician has declared that early rising leads to madness.) We hail the words with confident ela- tion, Although we think it is no way sur- prising That lunacy and mental alteration Proceed from early rising. How sweet that scientific recognition Should now acclaim the truth we
 knew of old, And relegate to a despised position The lies we have been told. We always knew Gin spite of sage as-
 sertions
 Of thus becoming healthy, wealthy,
 wise), We always knew, in spite of false dis
 cursions, That that way madness lies." And when they told us of the early
 bird
 Our sympathies were ever with the
 worm, By whose sad fate, so foolishly incur
 red,
 Their logic proved infirm. Thanks to the Faculty's wise condemn
 ation,
 No longer shall we fear the lengthen-
 ed doze. Nor let the suns untimely dissipation Dispel the morn's repose. No longer by a premature uprising Will we incur bad temper, which is
 sin: Nor let the evening take sore repris-
 ing
 For follies gloried in. No longer will we let virtuous dawn
 ing
 Prelude a sundown of unvirtuous
 sadness, Nor pay with noontide penalty of
 yawning For one brief hour of madness. Thus are our native instincts justified And impulse sanctioned after long
 despising; Since one profound physician has de-
 clared Madness in early rising.

THE DANGEROUS CHINA OF THE
 FUTURE.

Sir Robert Hart's plan for the re- vivication of China includes, as has been said. provision for the construc- tion of three fleets of warships, eacn containing ten battleships or large armored cruisers. The carrying out of the programme of entirely reor- ganiZing China as nation will de- pend somewhat on the attitude of western governments, which, as the naval policy will call for orders in- volving something like seventy million dollars worth of warships, will each be tempted as much to encourage the Chi nese to become great by that item as they are to continue the old policy of keeping the empire weak and profiting by it's folly. Most of them, after con- sidering the dilemma, will be likely 10 think that having tolerable slice of

A REASONABLE COMPROMISE.

The recent refusal of the Methodist conference to relax it's regulations governing amusements did not long embarrass the young people of the church at Knightsville, Ind. A dis patch from that place reports that the Pastine club gave a dance a night or two ago. The frisky Methodist mem bers had no thought of sitting out the waltzes, so they had their minister open the affair with prayer and thus having exercised all evil spirits, they danced contentedly all night, with never a qualm over the church regula- tions. There is nothing like a reason- able compromise to set things right and to calm the troubled conscience Kansas City Star.

Marry when the year is new, Always loving, kind and true; When February birds do mate, You may wed, nor dream your fate If you wed when March winds blow, Joy and sorrow both you'T know. Marry in April when you can, Joy for maiden and for man; Marry in the month of May. You will surely rue the day; Marry when June roses blow, over land and sea you'll go.

Vesta La Viestra Says She Made the
 Trip on a Shooting Star.

The cosmological center Is much stirred in New York by a lady named
 "Vesta la Viestra, cosmologist," who has just returned from the planet Nep- tune with the recipe for making poet. She explained to a delighted audience Sunday how she had made the trip to Neptune in 100 hours in the form of shooting star. Only one of the audi ence seemed to doubt her statements. He asked that she produce the two Neptuneites that she said returned with her to study earth dwellers. Unfor- tunately for the doubting one, they had

SUICIDE AMONG THE TRUSTS.

Instead of making absolute its con- trol over the market. the trust is rap idly losing such control as it's original absorption of the iron and steel mills gave it. The reason for this is to be found in the springing up in every di- rection of independent mills. And the independent mills spring up as result of an essential feature of the trusts policy-its maintenance of prices in ex- cess of those justified by a healthy de- mand.-Philadelphia North American.
