Misleading Street Car Signs.
A victim of the ingenious system of
misdirection by signs upon the street
cars has related to me his adventures
in making an economical transit across
the city. His itinerary consisted of a
trip to the New York and New England
railroad station, where he was to. pick
up a gripsack and umbrella left at the
parcel room in the morning, and thence
to take a train out of town on the
Eastern railroad. This was to be done
at the small cost of ten cents, by avail­
ing himself of the admirable facilities
in the way of street ear transportation.
He tells me that he first boarded a ear
on which the name of the New Eng­
land railroad rwxtion was prominently
displayed, and sat in peaceful confi­
dence until he found himself in the
neighborhood of the Maverick bank,
when a question put to the conductor
drew out the information that the route
named on the sign board of' the ear
would not be followed until “some
time in the fall.” .
He took a herdic and thus made his
first station. Securing his gripsack he
thought himself fortunate in finding a
car just passing whose signs told that it
was on its way to the “Eastern depot.”
When some point in the South Cove
was reached he learned from the con­
ductor, on inquiry, that if he should
get out and walk to the next block he
would find a car going in the opposite
direction which would take, him to his
destination. He then hired another
herdic and managed to catch his train.

out the World—They Exchange Letters
and Photographs—Their Magazine.
New York city is the headquarters of a
society whose members and associates.
1,800 in number, are scattered over the
five great divisions of the world. It Is an
association scarcely known beyond the
circle of its own members and their Indi
vidual friends and acquaintances. It is
never mentioned in the newspapers. It
is governed by no laws or rules. Yet
there is nothing secret in its origin, aim
or organization, for it is organized. It is
not a charitable society though it does
not despise donations, and its members
are willing to help each other to theii full
extent. Its name will not be found in the
directory list of organized associations in
this city. or. in fact, in any list whatso­
ever Its members never meet together,
never see each other, never exchange
handshakes or othei greeting in propria
persona. It has no club bouse, no rooms
for social gatherings There is no annual
dinner, there are no periodic festivities or
celebrations, as with most societies. The
organization alluded to ia an altogether
unique affair.
This remarkable sisterhood and brother­
hood—for it includes persons of both
sexes as well as of all ages—is called ths
Shut In society. Its members consist of
men. women and children who' are “shut
in” by disease from the outside world, of
invalids who seldom or never leave their
rooms, or perhaps even their beds, and
who in some cases have remained for more
than a generation in one never changing

Cancer of Womb Cured'Without- Fain.
Last Wednesday Mrs. Long of Rich­
woods came to Dr. Toel to be operated
upon for a caiicer of the womb. The
growth was removed by means of the
galvano-caustic battery, not a drop of
blood being lost. The operation was en-
tir ly painless, Mrs. Long quietly chat­
ting with the Doctor the whole time.
Mrs. Long returned home in the after­
noon and is getting along very nicely.—
Peoria Journal.
Dr. Toel is now located in Portland.
The cancer, with hundreds of other can­
cers and tumors successfully removed by
hipa, can be seen in his office. Dr. Toel
has studied four years at the Universities
and large Hospitals of Germany, Switz­
erland and England, and is the only sar-
geon in the Northwest who operates by
electricitv without loss of blood.

druggist entered his store and said: “I
want to buy you out. How much will
you take?” “I do not want to sell,”
was the reply. “I expected that an­
swer,” said the encroaching person,
“and I am prepared for it. Now, if
you don’t sell out to me I will open a
drug store in opposition on the oppo­
site corner. How much will you take ?”
The druggist, offended at this species
of browbeating, said he would sleep on

the appointed hour the aspirant was
in the store and a. large price was named.
The bargain was bound. The druggist

ence is made to the Creator’s inclosure of
Noah inside the ark. In a polyglot Bible
the marginal texts imply that these words
may be taken in an emblematic as well as
a practical sense, and that when the
former meaning is bestowed they signify
a kindly and protective Providence. It is
in this sense in which the term “shut in”
has been appropriated by the society.
The name was bestowed by Mrs J M £>.
Conklin, of Convent, N J., and the
society itself originated in 1877 among
the contributors to The Advocate or
Guardian, the organ of the American
Female Guardian society and Home for
the Friendless, in this city Some of
these contributors, secluded by sickness,
exchanged letters of sympathy and this
formed the basis of an ever widening
communion which existed for eight years
in an unorganized condition. The society
was finally incorporated in August. 1885
Its objects are mainly to relieve the
weariness of the” sick room by sending
and receiving letters and tokens of re
membranes, and to testify to the consola
tion and help derived from religion To

world, constitutes one a proper candidate

A PREVALENT DISEASE.
Ten Symptoms Peculiar to Churcligoing
Members on Wet Sundays.
When preachers hanker for a rest the
flock ean hardly be condemned for doing
likewise. With the mercury traveling
above the 90 mark the inducements for
churchgoing are hardly as strong as
When the temperature is more moderate.
And when the regular shepherd is tak­
ing in ocean or mountain breezes the
part of the flock which by necessity is
compelled to stay by the stuff can read­
ily find excuses for absence from church
when a strange preacher fills the pulpit.
What with camp meetings, watering
places and hot weather the stay at home
preacher meets with slim congregations,
as a rule, during dog days.
There are not a few churches in this
city of which a large proportion of the
membership are absent from the city
during the months of July and August.
Some churches take advantage of the
summer lull to clean and renovate. It
has come to be understood that the
pastor is to have his rest at this season
of the year, and most of the churches
stipulate this when the bond is made.
In the fine of absenteeism from church
services the following is suggestive:
“The attack comes on suddenly every
Sunday; no symptoms are felt on Sat­
urday night; the patient sleeps well
and awakes feeling well; eats a' hearty
breakfast- but- about church time the
attack comes-'bn and”continues until
the services are over for tile morning.”
Then the-patient feels easy and eats
a hearty dinner. In the afternoon he
feels much better and is'able to take a
walk, talk politics and read the Sunday
papers; he eats a hearty supper, but
about church time he has another at­
tack and stays at home. He retires
early, sleeps well and wakes Monday
morning refreshed and able to go to
work, and does not have any symp­
toms of the disease till the following
Sunday.'
The peculiar features of the disease
are as follows: 1. It always attacks
members of the church. 2. It never
makes its appearance except on the
Sabbath. 3. The symptoms vary, but
it never interferes with the sleep or ap­
petite. 4. It never lasts more than
twenty-four hours. 5. It generally at­
tacks the head of the family. 6. No
physician is ever called. 7. It always
proves fatal in the end—to the soul.
8. No remedy is known for it except
prayer. 9. Religion is the only anti­
dote. 10. It is becoming fearfully
prevalent, and is sweeping thousands
every year prematurely to destruction.”

There is a beautiful farm - just back
of Ocean Springs, Miss., owned by Mr.
Parker Earle, who, very wisely, allows
no man on the place to use a whip on
any of the stock. _ It is said that there
is but one old whip on the farm, probar
bly a relic of some other owner, but the
old whip is not used, and the faryi does
well and the animals work with a.will
and never feel the lash. Kindness can

The Order of Freemasonry is said to
have been established by Solomon at
the time of building his tempi». The
order has been derived from many
sources, but not till about 1717 did the
second stage of its history begin in
London, which is, in fact, the home of
Masonry as now taught. The first
lodge in the United States was organ­
ized in 1729 and was then under the
jurisdiction of the grand lodge of Eng­

invented has just been patented. It is
designed especially for hotel keepers,
and others whose business ineludes that
of making lemon squashes and similar
drinks. It is worked by the foot, and
can be operated quickly and easily. It
consists of a sliding bracket containing
a cup for the lemon and a superlying
stud for pressing the same, a glass fit­
ting underneath. Pressure is made by
the foot on a treadle, to which is at­
tached an iron rod, -the other end. of
which is connected to the sliding
squeezer. Care has been taken, in the
design tp avoid all sharp edges, and
the cups are made of the hardest iron­
stone china, and extra thick to avoid
all risk of breakage. The cost is stated
to be less than that of the screw presses
now in use, arid the speed with which
the squeezer can be manipulated and
its simplicity are excellent recommend­
ations.—New York Commercial Ad­

The Proper Way to Study Europe.
Among the renovating forces of my
later years I must name three seasons
of European travel and sojourn, each
of them when I was in special need of
rest and relaxation. I returned each
time with the feeling that I had thrown
off a full half score of the years reck­
oned as mine. I was between fifty and
sixty years of age when I first went
abroad, and I have been glad, that I
first saw Europe so late in life. What
a man gets by foreign travel depends
on what he carries with him. He finds
answers only to the questions which he
is prepared to ask, and the longer he
lives the sàbre numerous are the inter­
rogations which he has in his mind to
put to and concerning the places and
objects that he visits. Then, too, the
power of enjoyment as to whatever is
grand or beautiful grows, or ought to
grow, with one’s years, and a lake or
mountain, a palace or cathedral, a pict­
ure or a statue, is more, means more
and tells more to a man of 50 than to a
man of 25.—Professor A. P. Peabody
in Forum.
