THE MEANING OF IT. Very oftrn we uive thewroiitf meaning to , word and tliercby make serious mistakes, for instance, tlie true and literal meaning of the word rheuniutism is "aelics or pains oftbemuwles, bones and joints of the Ini ,n bndv." t i general' and not speciiic. Aim the word rebel does not mean cure. Relief nmv be but a short cessation of pain. Snt when' we say St. Jacobs Oil cures rheu matism promptly and pennanentlv, we mean it conquers pain quickly with no re turn of it, unless the surlerer ives cause for a new attack, and then it will cure L,iii. It matters not whether it is chronic, ifuteorinilamnuitory, it will cure. That ijssure, be sure of it. There is a house in Paris occupied V over fifty tenants who for twenty Sflmve never paid any rent, the landed being unknown. 10 GET OUT OF THE WAY When trouble iseominit, is obviously the part ol common sen.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding' of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills, which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, but simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millionsof families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase, that you have the trenuine arti cle, which is manufactured by the Cali- iornia t lg isyrup Do. only and solo bj all reputable druggists. If in the eniovment of crood health. and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of figs stands highest and is most largely tted and gives most general satisfaction. Of Mercury! Mr tTaMM -e ,oio c .1. oil. street, St. Louis, was given the usual mercurial treatment for contagious blood poison.

Tin. left unn of the subject Is bared well up to Hu. shoulde,-. A rigid rubber Hasp that fits about the upper arm Is connected by a couple of light rods to another smaller clasp th.it titH about the wrist. The arm is coated with va.-iilhu-, fr ii is , ivniaiii in water for an hour or more, and n por tion of It is covered with a thin rubber bnnd. The lingers are encased In a glove mi. a rubber band that passes between the thumb and the Index finger completes the provislou for holding the limb practically rigid. The urn, is thrust up to the elbow into the cylinder, and by an elaborate combination of chimps and bandages Is iixed there, and the end of the cylinder hermetical ly sealed about the arm with rubber connections that do not unduly com press the limb but make a perfectly tight joint. The proposition is to deter mine the flow of blood under certain conditions by the Increase or diiiiimii tion of the volume of the arm. The subject Is placed In the easiest possible position while the experiment is going on, for a strained position, or an effort to ease the arm, would result In blood flow, and the volume of the nrni would change without the volition subject be ing able to help It. It was this difficul ty that slod In the path of the Euro pean scientists who endeavored to get the results that Dr. Shields has got. The subject is permitted to remain quiet for some ten or fifteen minutes, and his mind reduced to a passive slate by the usual methods, such as lis tening to and counting the ticking of a clock. His condltlou is Just removed from that of sleep, ami that is all. lie has even been allowed to go to sleep, and the workings of the mind observed then. The arm being In position, a quantity of water that has been determined to a nicety Is allowed to flow Into the cyl inder, and the air Is permitted to es oupe. so that there shall be no undue pressure on the limb. A small disk that is hollowed out and a piece of rub ber placed over the hollow. Is placed over the diaphragm of the subject, and this Is connected with the automatic register by a rubber tube and registers the variations In the respirations of tlie subject. The means by which the con nection between the cylinder in which PHOF. SHIELDS' ACPARATTS. the arm Is inclosed and the plethoys niography Is too elaborate to permit of description within the limit of a newspaper article. A nice knowledge of phvslcs would be necessary to its understanding. But the connection Is effected and the activity of the brain indicated on the kymograph roll accord ingly as the conditions change. There are five glnss pens used In making the record. They are nicely balanced and tilled with ink us the expert starts and the nicest possible adjustment Is made with the clockwork of the drum that moves the paper. As the seconds are ticked off the paper moves slowly over the drum and tlie pens reveal in the waving lines they make, as the pres sure In the cvlinder and other points of the apparatus change, the varied mental changes. The pulsations of the heart are registered by one of the pens, the resplratorv movement by another, the variations In the volume of the arm, the time la marked by a third, and the signal pen. Indicating when the stimu lants are applied, till the complement, and these are all balanced with the most absolute nicety for the changes they record are by no means strongly accented.

HE M'XED THE LETTERS. j Love to Hi Moan and a Request for a Kuine to His Girl 1 A certain young man who works fori a big St. Louis corporation lias a pen chant for ladies that is so pronounced j as ro verge on mania. Every new girl i lie meets he proceeds to fall desperately In love wilh and invariably Is-gins op- i eranions by writing her a letter. j The funny part of this letler-wrltlm? ! proclivity that he has lies in the fact that he cannot write a letter himself, but depends on a literary friend in the same office, whose vocabulary is wide and whose pen Is facile. East week he found a new love. This one was Incomparable superb the loveliest and most engaging creature on earth. He met her at a social function, waltzed with her, and his enslavement was complete. So eager was he to write her a letter that he hurried to the office two hours early next morning and as soon as his literary friend ar rived he Insisted upon his preparing a letter. He wanted something warm, he said something that would simply "kill her first dash out of the box." And he got it. The letter that was prepared, was a scoivhor, as It did all but jiro IH.se to the young lady. It spoke of "love at first sight." "undying affec tion," "soulful eyes," "delights of the terpsichorean maze,'' etc., ad Infinitum. At the same time the literary friend was asked to write something touching to the business manager of the corpora tion, asking him to consider the labor ious efforts of the nmorous young man during the past year, and. If found de serving of such recognition, to kindly advance his salary from 8 per week to (W. Hoth letters were finished at the same time and handed to the love-sick swain and he copied them in his lest spen ccrinn hand, sealed them up, mailed tlie one to the young lady and laid the other on the business niiinager's desk. Next morning he received answers to Nitli. The business manager wrote that he regretted very much that Mr. Lovesick spent so much of the com pany's time and letter paper writing to young ladles. lie also regretted that lie would not longer need his sen-ices. The young lady wrote that she was ex tremely sorry to find that he was In such distressing financial circum stances us the Inter, which she legged to return, would Indicate and that she therefore begged to enclose $1 to reim burse him for the flowers that he had that morning sent her. The trouble was thnt he had mixed the letters, sending that asking for the raise to the young lady and vice versa. He has sworn off letter writing now except In answer to help wanted ads.
