An eminent physician Of London,
who was remarkable for continuing
his visits to his rich patients after
he had turned their disorders out
Of doors, attended a lady Of some
celebrity in the world Of Wit for
three months after her recovery
and regularly stayed with her until,
in the English manner. he received
his dismissing fee Of 5 guineas.
Weary of his expensive calls and
concluding that to lessen the fee
would be to lose the visitor, she
yentured to give him 4 guineas at
the conclusion Of his next call. He
looked snxiously in his hand, then
on the carpet and stood for some
time in evident embarrassment.
"Have you lost anything? IN.

A Unique Literary Scheme Of the
Great French Writer.

a Unique Literary Scheme Of the
Great French Writer.
American readers are accustomed
to surprises in their newspapers,
but imagine their astonishment
should some favorite journal pub
lish in good faith, in daily install
ments and adapted according to the
notions of some staff writer,
classic such as, for example,
Dante's "Infernow Yet the aston
ishment so excited would not be
without a parallel in the annals of
newspaper management, inasmuch
as Homer once figured as a feuille-
toniste for Partisan newspaper.
When Dumas the elder was edit
ing his journal, lie Mousquetaire,
Urban FACES, one of his assistants,
who was an exceptionally fine Greek
scholar, was one day enthusiastic
ally expatiating upon the beauties
Of the 'Tliad" and the odyssey"
Dumas grew most interested.
'1f only you could read them in
the original" sighed FACES.
"Why not?' asked Dumas.
sBut," exclaimed FACES, my
| dear fellow, you don't know alpha
from omega!'
"Will you translate for me?
asked Dumas eagerly.
Accordingly FACES undertook the
task. Beginning with the first
book Of the "Iliad," he would read a
Illine OF the Greek and then give a
literal translation. Dumas quickly
caught the spirit of the epic. As
FACES read he wrote a translation
and signed it.
in the name Of all the ancients,
N. Dumas" exclaimed FACES, "but
You are signing your name to the
Tliadp"
Certainly" responded Dumas,
"that is, to my version Of it. II
will appear as feuilleton in lie
Mousquetaire.'
FACES was filed with dismay, as
he afterward related, but before
such audacity and naiyete he felt
helpless. How was he to convince
writer accustomed to every tri-
umph that he was too bold?
And so the next day an INSTALL
ment Of the "Iliad," as rendered in
half an hour or so by man who
could not read the Greek alphabet,
appeared at the bottom Of the page
Of lie Mousquetaire, with the note,
Continued in our next"
This enterprising bit Of Journal
ism raised such n storm Of criticism
that Dumas was persuaded TO dis.
continue il after the third install
ment, though it was doubted that
he quite understood what was the
trouble.--St. Paul Pioneer Press.

DEVICES or THE BODY.
The Cough, snesxs and Sigh Are
Measures Of Self Protection.

Measures OF oeir Protectton.
One Of the most interesting facts
about the human body is it's power
of self preservation-its power OF
eyading or overcoming the thou
sand and one conditions which, un-
less corrected, would be injurious
or destructive.
Among the most common OF
these acts Of self preservation are
the cough, the sneeze and the sigh.
Every one is familiar with these
acts, yet few people ever ask them
selves the cause, and fewer still
could explain them.
One Of the simplest Of the body's
devices for self protection is the
cough. The cough is merely blast
Of air propelled from the lungs in
such manner as to forcibly dis
lodge some foreign substance which
has been drawn into the throat, the
windpipe or the tubes leading to
the lungs.
The membranes lining these
parts of the body are very sensitive,
and when a foreign matter comes in
contact with them an alarm mes
sage is at once sent to the nervous
1.headquarters," and the result is
the sudden, spasmodic expulsion OF
breath which is called cough.
Very often the cough is produced
by the irritation Of the accumula-
ton Of mucous on the surface men,
toned. In this case, as in the case
of a foreign body, the cough IL
merely a means Of expelling the
matter.
So, you see, a cough is merely one
OF natures methods Of self protec-
ton. Cough cures contain some
drug which, by paralyzing the
nerves, prevents the cough and al
lows the mucus to accumulate.
Thus the cough medicine does
only harm. The cure for cough
is to cough-to cough until the ex
cessiye deposit is removed. Mean
time. Of course, measures should b
taken to prevent added deposits.
A sneeze is exactly like cough
save that the obstruction occurs II
the nostrils owing to the deposit o.
some irritant or foreign matter
and that the blast Of air is thrown
out through the nose instead o
through the throat and mouth.
Why do we sigh. When grievet
or depressed the tendency is to holt
the breath. This means that thu
body suffers for oxygen, and thu
long, deep breath which we call
sigh is merely means by which thu
body obtains for itself the neces
sary amount Of oxygen.-Dr. W. X
c. Latson in Health Culture.
