GETTING close TO EVIDENCE.
Proof That Minister Was at Least on
The RIaht Track.


the Right Track.
Lawyer Jones was the pride Of a
nourishing seaport village of Maine.
He stood well at the bar Of the coun-
ty. and his forensic triumphs reflected
glory on his town. He was an es-
pecial authority on evidence.
After middle life, in spite of the pro
hibitory law, he got into the way OF
tipping and was sometimes seen the
worse for liquor. His good neigrbors
bemoaned the fact and decided get
the popular minister to labor villa the
erring brother.
The minister accepted his delicate
mission. and one morning, meeting
Mr.. Jones on the street, he cordially
took his arm and walked along with
him. After some commonplace re-
marks he said, my dear Mr.. Jones
you are greatly loved and respected in
this community, but | am sorry to say
that some of your best friends are
disturbed by stories they have heard
about your drinking"
"All idle tales" said Jones. 81 do
not drink"
The minister caught a Whit of his
breath as he spoke, and, with signs OF
irritation in his voice, replied Nov
Jones, what is the use of talking
that way? know by your breath that
you have ben drinking today"

The following abstracts from an ar
llcle by J. f. StubDer,, NJ. d.. in the
Medical Record, should receive vide
and careful attention. No doubt ii
these ideas could be carried out the
9white plague would he robbed OF
much Of its terror:
In ancient times it was highly Inn
proper to expose tubcrculous pa
tient, especially one beyond the first
stage. to breath OF fresh air except
ON the mildest days In summer, while
the night air was dreaded and avoided
as the plague. Then the more observ-
ant and thoughtful men noticed that
those who lived more in the open air
did not die as quickly as the hot-house
patients, and they began to urge an
outdoor life and moderate exercise
as a prophylactic as well as cure
for those in the early stages Of con-
sumption. Those in the more advanc-
ed stages were allowed fresh air only
when 1t was at summer temperature
but even this was better than being
kept indoors in warm, ill'ventilated
rooms the whole year
There are several plans by which
the victim of tuberculosis may con-
tinuously breathe pure, fresh air by
night as well as by day. Sleei - out
in the open air is not harmful TO
large majority of tuberculous people.
Millet, Of Brockton. Mass, reports
the cases of five patients whom he
recommended to sleep out OF doors at
night They we're allowed no roof
over their heads except in rainy
weather. They wore soft felt hats
and cotton nightshirts, sleeping under
ordinary bedclothes in beds arranged
on the roofs Of their houses. Inn
provement was noted in two weeks.
Coughs disappeared. temperatures be
came normal, respirations were easier
and weight increased rapidly. No at
tention was paid to dampncss aud
drafts, and heavy dews were regarded
as inconvenient simply because OF the
necessity of drying the bedclothes.
Sleeping in small room with an
open window does not appear to be
nearly so beneficial to the patient as
when the nights are passed on a yer
anda or in a tent where there is a
free circulation Of air on all sides If
a patient were fortunate enough 10
have a large room with southern ex-
posure and containing one or two
open flreplaces. in addition 10 large
windows on three sides. which might
be opened at night. he might derive
approximately the benefit Incident To
tent life.
McGraham, Of South Carolina. pre-
fers the circular to the army tent, and
thinks it better to place il on n plat
form two feet from the ground, and
to do without carpets and draperies-
Draperies are not necessary, hut rugs
add greatly to the comfort and CON
venience OF those in i'll health. and
their use can be made perfectly safe
by exposing them to the sunlight for
a few hours daily.

This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Peruna strikes at the root OF
the difficulty by correcting the diges-
tion.
Digestion furnishes nutrition for the
nerve centers. Properly digested food
furnishes these reservoirs of life with
vitality which leads to strong, steady
nerves and thus nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among
women, especially those who have voca-
tions that are trying to the nerves.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to
anemic nerve centers The nerve
centers are the reservoirs of nervous
vitality. These centers become blood
less for want of proper nutrition.
This is especially true in the spring
season. Every spring host of invalids
are produced as the direct result Of
weak nerves.

istration, and particularly in depart
ments and branches of the service
with which Postmaster General Cortel-
you, clean-cut young man, has to do.
This particular young gentleman is
Frank H. Hitchcock, the new first as
sistant postmaster general, who has
made rapid strides since coming to
Washington. He seems to have a COM
prehensive grasp of the duties of his
Office, and when congress reassembles
he will be put to the supreme test OF
demonstrating how to handle men.
Mr.. Hitchcock entered the public SER
vice in technical position in the ag-
ricultural department Immediately
upon his graduation from college.
He attracted attention by his gen.
tlemanly demeanor and the abiii-
ty with which he did his work.
When Mr.. .Cortelyou became Sec
rotary of the department of COM
MERGE and labor he picked on Mr..
Hitchcock as the sort of man he want
ed for chief clerk of that department.
His judgment of Mr.. Hitchcock's char
acter and abilities was so fully justi-
fed that when Mr.. Cortelyou> was
placed at the head Of the republican
national committee be asked his young
friend to leave the government and go
with him as a sort of executive clerk
Of that big political organization. The
IRE Of strenuous political campaign
tried the metal of Mr.. Hitchcock and
showed it to be pure gold; so 1t was
when Mr.: Cortelyou became postmas-
ter general he installed Mr.. Hitchcock
as his right-hand man as first assistant

viewed. Chief Clerk William n. Bay.
ley, of the pension, ONCE, recently in.
stituted an inquiry which developed
some very Interesting facts regarding
the 1900 clerks employed IN that
branch of the government service.
Mr.. Bailey made q canvass for the
purpose of ascertaining the former oc-
equations of the employees, aud the re-
suits were surprising. It was found
that the register OF clerks contained
the names of nearly 400 men who had
prepared themselves for the profess
sions of law, medicine and theology.
The graduates in law numbered 267,
In medicine 100, and in theology 20.
There were 40 clerks who had been au-
thors, 43 were editors, 10 editors and
publishers, q printers, Isl newspaper
correspondents, four reporters. three
proofreaders, 80 magazine writer's and
one confessed to having been a poet.
A total of IA clerks held diplomas
from colleges and universities.
This office naturally attracts old SOL
diers, but it is surprising to learn the
number of men who held high rank
who are in the service. Among the
men now passing on war claims who
formerly held military titles are one
major general, one adjutant general,
five brigadier generals, eight colonies,
seven lieutenant colonies, IL majors, 48
captains, 80 ieutenants and eight Sec
ond lieutenants. Among men who for
merly helped make state laws there are
nine ex-members of houses Of repre-
sentatives of various states and four
ex-state senators. There are 18 former
justices Of the peace, five county judy
es, seven probate judges, three police
judges and IL sheriffs. There are q
former surgeons, two bankers, six dem
lists and two elocutionists. There are
no less than 457 of the 1900 clerks who
formerly followed teaching as a pro-
fession. 1t is sad commentary on hui
man failure to note the number of pro-
fessional derelicts who have drifted
into this dead harbor of government
service.

Sea Island cotton is the best kind
1t is finer and silkier than any other
cotton in the world. A pound of 1t
can be spun into ALTO miles Of thread.
For an experiment once in the English
town Of Manchester a skilled spinner
spun pound Of Sea Island cotton in
to single thread 1000 miles long.
Then for another experiment he took
another pound Of cotton and spun 1t
into as many hanks as he could get.
He got 10000 hanks in all, and the
yarn in each of them measured $40
yards. Thus out of pound of cotton
ALTO miles Of yarn was produced, but
too fine to be of any practical utility.

attached to the reading desk, and is
shaped something, like a telephone, and
also bears little resemblance to a
camera. 1t conveys sound through
wires running to small receivers which
are to be used by persons who can, un-
der ordinary circumstances, hear moth
ing at all.
The instrument does not attract any
more attention than reading lamp
would on desk. The wires are out of
sight and run along the floor of the
church to'certain seats, where small re-
ceivers are located. These receivers
can be held to the ear without attract
ing the notice of those who sit near by
and the deaf person in the congrega-
ton catch every word Of the sermon.
In delivering his sermon, DR.. Hamlin
does not raise his voice above the ordi-
nary pitch. He talks directly toward
the instrument on the pulpit and keeps
near it all the time he is speaking. He
and his deaf parishioners are delighted
with the success of the instrument, and
it is probable that the latter will be-
come very popular in this city.
DR.. Hamlin is one of the broad-mind-
ed, progressive clergymen of the day,
who believes in the adoption of modern
inventions and conveniences that will
add to the comfort of his congregation.
No false dignity or pride prevents his
adopting what some people call "fads. !"
The doctor is known as the bicycle
preacher in Washington, as he early
adopted that two-wheeled vehicle as a
convenient and speedy means of visit
ing his Pensioners. When called sud-
denly to attend any of his people the
doctor mounts his wheel and makes his
way to distant parts of the city in a
short time. ....
