MILLIONAIRE, S POOR STOMACH

The WORKOUT stomach of the over
fed millionaire is often paraded in the
public prints as horrible example of

of great wealth. Rut millionaires are
not the only ones who are afflicted

is far greater among the toilers. Dys-
pepsia and indigestion are rampant
among these people. and they suffer
far worse fortunes than the million

A New KipIing Story.

1t is nearly year since any Ameri-
can magazine has been fortunate enough
to secure story from Kipling; but the
August Century prints a tale, can
Habitation Enforced" which gives us
Kipling at his best. Someone, in COM
pairing Kipling with the old, three vol
ume novelist, has said that he gives us
"the Liebig extract of those cattle low
ing on a thousand hills" SO here,
where two Americans nervously
broken millionaire and his wife, take
up an enfored habitation in an enchant-
ed corner of England, he contrives to
give quintessence of American and
British Civilizations commentary, in
brief, with vistas such as only a Kip
ling Can open up. A delightful vein OF
satire crops out wherever the British
way and the American way meet, a
vein which will charm readers on both
sides the Atlantic. Most readers, too,
will find in this latest story of the
greatest of living English story writers
the spiritual touch which was SO
strongly manifest in "They" seemingly
marking a new and higher phase of de.
velopment in man and writer.

Fifth avenue point out a crack across

goes that Mrs. Sage negotiated with

more than $40. The glazier would not
yield, and the deadlock has continued
for almost quarter of century.

Natures Armored Cruisers.

Some Of the papers are poking fun
at the story which comes from the Bay
Of Biseay of crabs weighing sixteen
pounds and possessing claws eighteen
inches in circumference. The Joke
would have seemed the funnier, per-
haps, had the crabs been described as
opening and eating oysters. As mat
ter of fact, there Is species which
does crack cocoanuts. As students Of
Darwin will remember, this extraordi-
nary creature grows to an enormous
size; 30 large IL 1t that In the larger
ones there Is Sufficient fat to yield 4

diet on cocoanut. These nuts they
first denude of their tough hbrous COW
ering, then with their hammer-like
claws beat upon the shell until an
opening is made, and the rest is sim
pie. These giants live on land, but
bathe each night In the sea.

Story of a Woman cruaos.

Beginning due west of Point Con-
ception on the California coast and
continuing at irregular intervals as
Tar south as the Bay of Todos Santos
in Lower California lie the Channel
islands. In this ideal region for the
yachtsman, the fisherman and the
hunter one comes to feel like a new
Crusoe on his primitive isle. And In
very truth Crusoe's semi-mythica
story was enacted upon one Of these
same islands, though minus the man
Friday and the happy ending.
The castaway in this case was a
woman, Danish emigrant, left ashore
of a vessel that had sought shelter
behind San Nicholas during storm in
the early SOS. For over seventeen
years the lone creature had lived un-
sought and forgotten, though the time
at length came when, on the days the
could climb to the islands highest
point and view the ranchers' herds
grazing upon the mainland.
And at last, when hope and reason
had both long died, the poor, wild
gibbering creature was found in he1

year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
The night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint-them engineers
Is pretty much alike
One wife in atchez-under-the-hill,
Another one here in Pike.
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
An awkward hand In a row,
But he never funked, and he never lied
l reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had,
To treat his engine well,
Never be passed on the river,
To mind the pilots bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took fire
A thousand times he swore
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip,
And her day come at last;
The Movastar was a better boat,
But the Belle, she wouldn't be passed.
And so she come tarin' along that night
The oldest craft on the line
With niger squat on her safety valve,
| And her furnace crammed, rosin and
The fire bust out as she cleared the bar,
And burnt hole in the night;
And, quick as a flash, she turned and
made
| For that willer bank on the right.
There was runnin' and cursin', but Jim
!, yelled out
Over all the Internal roar:
'I'll hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot's ashore"
Through the hot, black breath Of the
burnin' boat
Jim Bludso's voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep his word;
And, sure's you're born, they all got of
Afore the smokestacks fell
And Bludso's ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He weren't no saint-but at judgment
I'd run my chance with Jim
'Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him
He seen his duty, dead sure thing
And went for it thar and then;
And Christ amt a-going to be too hard
On a man that died for men.

millionaire. Although his income Is
reckoned at $1,000 a day, at least, and
some people think 1t is twice that
amount, he has lived at the rate Of
5000 a year or less, and his personal
expenses have not been $1,000 a year.
That is a very liberal estimate. He
has two suits of clothes, one for week
days and the other for Sunday, and he
has worn them as long as anybody can
remember. He has not bought new
overcoat for 10 or 20 years, and his hat
Is quite as old as that II not older. A
few years ago he sent for a gentleman
who had done him a favor, and in q
confidential way said that he was 60
ing to reward him with "tip" that he
could work for a profit. Then, to the
mans astonishment Mr. Sage gave
him the address Of a store ON Seventh
avenue where he could get shoes for .$2
a pair.
To save time the Western Union
Telegraph Company serves a free
lunch to its operators, and Mr.. Sage
appeared every day at certain hour.
A seat was kept for him at certain
table up to the last day he came down
town. He never paid fare on the ele-
vated railroad, because he was direc-
tor, and the ticket takers had tnstruc-
tons to let him go by without paying.
He invariably helped himself to news
papers from the stand at Hftisth
street In the morning when on his way
downtown, and did the same at Rec
tor street when he was going home In
the afternoon. He has stolen his news
papers for generation in the
same way, Of the Same men, and they
never dared say a word about it. He
has always compelled the bootblacka
on the elevated stations to shine his
shoes for nothing. At first, years aso,
they used to remonstrate. He would

In these days the rich and the poor
both appreciate the services OF the
trained nurse, but until within a COM
'paratively short time the more we'll
to-do member of society has not had
the opportunity to enjoy one branch OF
her professional ministrations. Now,
however, the hourly nurse is becoming
an important member Of society.
Among the poor, says the Boston Tran
script, the district nurse comes in by
the day or hour, as the case demands;
In the families of those in more COM
Portable circumstances, the ordinary
trained nurse is usually engaged by
for shorter time.
The hourly nurse, who has had the
same training, holds herself ready to
answer calls at all times, for one, two,
three or twenty-four hours, as the case
may be. She assists doctors in minor
operations, goes each day to change
the dressings, and makes it easier for
the family to care for the patient dur
ing the rest of the day.
Again, in these days Of apartment
houses, there are many homes where
1t is inconvenient to have a nurse stay
at the house. Here the hourly nurse
is the right person in the right place
She comes for the necessary time, plan
ming to meet the physician when he

assistance that competent person car
give them for an hour or two daily
greatly adds to their comfort. New

Last year about 100000 pilgrims
went to Mecca, representing Moslem
of about 100000 900 in Tur-
key, Arabia, Egypt, Soudan, Zanzi-

ghanistan, Persia, Baluchistan, India,
the East Indian and Philippine Islands,
China, and Russia in Asia. The gov
ernments Of Turkey and Egypt pay

through whose territory the pilgrim
ages pass, but the system is not en-
tirely effective. Last year some 20
per cent Of the pilgrims were reported
ill-treated, wounded or killed, and it
is estimated that during the pilgrim
age season travellers to Mecca were
robbed of more than 81 100000. Cara
vans of 5000 to 5000 camels are no
