HIS TALE OF TROUBLE
YOUNG MAN LOUD IN DEMAND
OF NEEDED CHANGES.
Hard as 1t Is Sometimes to Get Into
Flat, He Found 1t Very Much
Harder to Get Out
of 1t.

81 think" said this young man, with
great emphasis on the personal pro
noun, that there ought to be on the
inner side of the exit door of every
fiat, just as there is required by law
to be on every exit door from a
theater, conspicuous sign plainly let
tered Exit I'll tell you, why.
Last night | called on a young
lady of my acquaintance who lives in
a fiat and | passed a very pleasant
evening. But when I tried to go
away | got into trouble. The parlor
in this fiat is at the front end of a
hall that, | should think, speaking
moderately, was 60 feet long. On one
side of this long hall there is a solid
wall, but on the other side there are
numerous doors, opening. | suppose,
into sleeping rooms. There is one
such door directly opposite the door
by which you enter this fiat from the
outer hall 1t was by confusing that
last bedroom door with the exit door
which it faces that l got lost.
There was time when folks used
to escort their guests to the door and
say good-by or goodnight to them
there, but it seems that the present
style is to say goodnight in the parlor
and let the guest find his way out,
and that's what happened to me last
night
when I struck the parlor end OF
that long hall | thought | could find
my way all right. There was the long
hall, with the wall on one side and
that string of doors on the other. all
just az it was when | came in, and 1t
looked easy. But when l got down to
the far end of it I'm blessed if l could
remember which side of it | came in
at, and instead of taking the door to
my right. as | should have done, l
opened the left hand door, and
Hey, there, What's bitin' you?
Get out of here.' l heard somebody
saying.
"Of course it was the young lady's
kid brother. He had been in the
parlor a little while earlier in the
evening and then disappeared. and l
knew now that he must have gone to
bed and that l had broken into his
room trying to find my way out.
"'All right youngster.' I says to
him as gayly as ! could, but l shut
his door as quickly as possible and
made for the door opposite and got
out into the hall and pressed the ele-
vator button for an emergency call
and didn't come to fully until l had
got out of the house into the open air.
There ought to be a plainly let
tered Exit sign on the inner side of
every fat house exit door"

SYMPTOMS of the Dawn.

DR.. Stanton Colt, who lectured In
Boston not long ago on Bernard Shaw,
made a comment that is recalled by
the production here of one of Shaw's
plays.
SHAW is a sign of the times" said
DR.. Colt Then, referring to the plot
of Rostand's "Chantecler," in which
the cox thinks that the sun rises be-
cause he crows, the speaker added:
More people get up in the morning
because the cock crows than because
the sun rises. And yet the cock crow
Is only a symptom of the dawn"

Cause Of Liver Troubles.

Liver troubles are caused either by
a lack of sharp grit, or by feeding too
rich or stimulating food. Care must
be taken in that particular. In the
early stages Of the disease the birds
show droopinees. have poor appe-
tite, and seem stiff in their joints, one
or two good family liver pills will very
often correct the trouble.

When buying stock ducks get the.

Care Of Eggs.

command better price in the mar

all sizes. tints and degrees of fresh

and use the others at home.

An acid condition Of the mouth
may result from systematic or

gestion and dyspepsia, particles

teeth, which, with the heat Of
the mouth. decompose and pro-
duce acid: excessive use of
sweets, which, fermenting. gen
crate acid: continued use Of
wines. fruits, etc. Much can be
done to alleviate this condition
by home treatment. The mouth
should be rinsed after each meal
and all particles Of food re-
moved, and the teeth should al
ways be brushed ON retiring at
night and upon rising In the
morning. care being taken to
move the brush with 4 rotary
motion rather than too much
across the teeth. AZ the latter has
a tendency to cut or force the
gums to receile. This simple
treatment will prevent sensitive

The harbor Of Havana. Cuba, long

In the world. viii shortly b spanned
BY bridge unique In height, construc-
ton and approach.
For yeaS 1t has been planned to
erect q bridge from the Moro castle
side Of the Havana harbor to the city
side. but this undertaking has always
'been postponed because Of the largs
amount Of heavy sea tran,c which
would Of necessity have to pass be-
meath the bridge and because Of the
difference In levels between the two
sides Of the harbor. The former OBJ
lection, engineers said, would neces-
sitats q bridge over 80 feet in height
and the latter would entail . long
and very costly approach on the city
aide Of the harbor.
Modern engineering methods. how
ever, have provided solutions for both
Of these problems, and the bridge will
soon be commenced. the Cuban con-
gross having appropriated $500. 600
for the construction Of the giant span.

feet above the surface Of the harbor,
thus allowing the largest vessels anoat

either side. The central portion Of the
bridge will be "raised" 10 AZ to offer
additional protection to vessels passing

Under this heading the London Daily

European war could not last long, az

be 100000 men in the field before

"if each man fired only 100 rounds OF
ammunition, 1t would soon exhaust the

It is true that steel bullets are
largely used in modern warfare, bu
as each bullet is reinforced by back
ing of lead, the amount OF this mela
used must be enormous.
| But, considerable as this use TO
lead may be, it is nothing compared t
its demand in other lines Of industry
and when peace has been restored tn
