How He Lost Hi. Opportunity

| How little the average person who is
trying to get on realizes how many
| things are occurring In his experience
which are trying to down him, and
which are hindering his advance! A
! poor job, an unkind word, singing
criticism, ingratitude for favor, fail
ure to give assistance when 1t was in
his power, hard problems skipped way
back In youth, a hasty act, an indis-
| erection of an unguarded moment. All
things are likely to come up when he
least expects 1T and bar his progress.
Many an able man with political ambi-
lions has failed of election to Con-
gress, or Of appointment to some COW
eted office, because of some slip he has
made, or of somebody, perhaps a pri-
vate secretary, who has put in the word
that checkmated the move for his adj
vancement
Perhaps, it was sarcastic remark
about someone, who later was in a po-
sition to help him, that lost him the
opportunity.
Many man has lost his opportunity
for advancement under the present adj
ministration by opposing and critlciz-
ing Theodore Roosevelt in his earlier
career, when he did not dream that the
former would ever occupy his present
lofty position.
You never can tell where a thrust of
an unguarded moment will land, or
what effect a sarcastic remark may
have on your future. He is a fortunate
man who guards his tongue, who tenn
pers his acts with prudence and good
iudgment-O. S. Marden in Success

BIG FEET CAUSE TROUBLE.

BfbuIous Youth and GrOuchy Citizen
Collide In Street Car.
He entered a north-bound 18th street
car ne8r the turn at New York avenue.
Apparently he was suffering from
mild brainstorm induced by an excess
I've indulgence in that liquid which
cheers and inebriates. AS he closed
the door behind him he gazed over the
other passengers of the car with a
brotherly smile.
Then he started unsteadily for va
cant beat Directly iii the middle of
the car sat grouchy citizen, his face
wearing an expression Of acute pain
and his attitude being that of a man
who Is at war with all his fellow be-
ings
Stretched out In the middle of the
aisle was a pair of large, expansive
looking feet, incased in No II shoes,
the same being the property of the
grouchy citizen.
AS the bibulous one attempted to
pass the grouchy citizen he slipped
and, while endeavoring to recover his
equilibrium, trod heavily upon the
large, expansive-looking feet. The face
of the grouchy citizen assumed an ex-
preston of even greater pain.
You bright, clever handsome young
man." he said pleasantly, of course).
ARE you mentally unable to proceed
without causing unnecessary and use
less trouble to those in your immediate
vicinity?"
"Wazzermazzer? inquired the inc
briated one, with a worried expression.
"Oh, nothing at ALL" replied the
grouchy citizen, and he proceeded to
tell the young man what he thought
of him. He went into technical dis
cussion of his antecedents and made
prophecies as to his future, the most
cheerful of which was death by hang
ing. He dwelt with evident enjoyment
upon his various facial peculiarities
and physical defects. Suddenly the
gentleman with the package" inter-
rupted him.
SHAY, OF man. he said, ''if l had
a pair o. feet that sthuck ou' way yours
do | wouldn't tract 'tenshion to 'em
by talkin'. Why, d'you know every
pershon in the cars lookin' a your
feet? AS awful pair O. feet. Why,
# | had them feet dye know wha' I'd
do?"
The grouchy citizen arose and after
glaring at his prosecutor for a few
minutes walked out of the car and rode
the rest of the way on the back plat
form. And nobody knows what the
bibulous one would have done if he
had possessed the grouchy citizens

A long table, made of boards, was
stretched through the middle of the larg-
est apartment, or the bar room. and on
it was display of crockery ware. The
steams of cookery arose from an adjoin-

in no manner displeased at the prospect
Of terminating pleasantly a day that had

Some were endeavoring to sleep on the

connected with the business of their lives.
Occasionally, as the door of the kitchen
opened, the kissing sounds of the frying

created a stagnation in all other employ

BLOOD.
Science of Blood Examination Still
In Its Infancy

Science of Blood Examination Still
In Its Infancy.
The microscopic examination of the
blood has become in recent years a
very common procedure in many cases
of disease. BY it the physician or
surgeon often obtains valuable as
sistance in arriving at a knowledge
of the nature of the disease which
he is called upon to treat.
The blood is examined with view
chiefly to ascertain the number, alb
solute and relative, of the red and
white corpuscles. and the percent
age of hemoglobin, or coloring matter
of the blood The red blood corpus
Giles are vastly more numerous than
the white. about 5,000,000 speaking
generally, being found in one cubic
millimeter of blood. OF course, one
could not count so many, but the APP
proximate result is obtained by count
ing the number in a determined frac.
ton of a cubic millimeter. The same
method is followed in counting the
white >corpuscles, of which there are
from 5000 to 10000 in a cubic MILL
meter of blood.
In anemia the number of red cor
puscles is markedly decreased. and
they are paler in color, showing a
diminution in the amount of hemo-
globin. In the disease known as per-
nieious anemia, the average size of
the. red cCgpuscles is greatly in
creased, and there is also a curious
irregularity in size, some being twice
the normal size, while others are
found not more than half as large as
they should be in health.
Il is in the matter of the actual
and proportionate number Of the
white corpuscles that the most valu-
able information is furnished by blood
examinations It has been found that
the white cells are not all of the same
kind. Six or seven varieties are found
in the blood in health and several
Others in certain diseases. These vari-
Gus kinds are distinguished by their
size. BY their peculiarities Of colora-

and by differences in their granular
contents.

called leucocytosis, leucocy'te being

Dathing. IL is found in infammatory
conditions, in certain infectious dis
eases, in cases of poisoning. in cancsr
and in some forms of anemia.
The relative proportion in the diff.
ferent sorts of Ieucocytes also varies
in these affections, and it is by ?
study OF these THAT the physician is
often enabled to decide as to which
of two or three possible diseases he
has to do with in the case before
him.
The science of blood examination
is still in its infancy, but it promises
to be of great value to the physician
as experience and knowledge increase.
