Straining to Maintain a Position Beyend Their Mesns—An Anecdote About Peo ple Whe Manage to Get Along sod Get Along by Managing. : a Do your know that; there is a class of people whosuffer and of whom the world pever hears? I mean those whom we are apt to eall the genteel poor.. They are ‘ glways with us. In my life I have his- ‘tened to a great inany quee stories about them, snd they are really to be pitied. They are, many of them, single women of uncertain age, who are obliged to live on infinitesimal incomes and with an amount of style. They can’t bring thoir ideas down to the level of their for- tunes. They have always been used to ‘eertain things, and they must have or _ at least appear to have them. They can ‘Jive only in a particular pari of town, no matter if the rent consumes the biggest part of their funds, and they must do other things in just proportion. How do they do it? Why, with an amount of in- genuity that would be valuable in a het They “manage.” That is the word. The genteel poor ‘“‘manage” to get along and get along by “managing.” Take a case that I happen to know They wern a pair of sisters who rented apartments. 1 sm not afraid to assert that they lived on «#, They went from one grocer to smother and collected, little by little, ' almost all the things they needed for Sample cans of soup furnished their table at many & midday meal.

They would make pe- riodical calls at varios confectioners and at each take a bit of candy from the piles that vere exposed t view. Hidden fm a bag, or in a muff if it was winter, ‘the aggregate of this bouty when taken home formed quite a dist:ful and helpad ont at their afternoon receptions, which, in accordance with their ideas of hospi- tality and the traditions of their family, they always gave during the season. 1 used to womder how they felt when they knelt on Sundays before that gor- geons shrine which they affected and gave the response to that solemn admo- . pition, “Thou shalt not steal” but I favcy they thought it was perfectly le : They always dressed in black; and | sm saré 1 don’t know bow they ‘“man- god” their wardrobes.

Dr. William Moor, whose discovery of permanganate of potyasiom as an an- tidote for morphine poisoning has made him famons, has written a paper upon the subject which bas been published in a well known medical periodical. In this be treats the subject almost al- together, ns might be expected, in a technical manner. He tells, however, of the investigations that led to his dis- covery in the following words: ** After some trials [ found that the best way of administering it was to have it made np in pills with cacao butter and talcum of kaolin, and to di- rit the patient to drink very slowly a glasaful of water just one minute after taking the pill, for the latter begins to * disintegrate in one minnts at the tem- peratare of the body. By nsing thie wethod I snecemfully combated the ex- | tremely disugresable odor in a case of cancer of the stomach. de ** About that time 1 treated a well known actor suffering from acate plen- tisy. This gentleman was sddicted to trorphine, and as I had taken mach in- terest in him 1 earnestly sought the best pian to break bis babit. The idea oc- ¢urred to me that perbaps permanga- nate of potash might decompose mor- * phine, the latter being an organic sub- stance, and that by making ose of a | certain method 1 conld eventoally break his habit without restricting him from taking bis morphine. My patient, how- over, started on a professional tonr just when I began to put my idea to a test. "Phis circumstance did not prevent me from continuing my researches as to the effect of perraapganate of potassiom »n morphine, and today I am permitted io offer to the profession what I consider to be the antidote ‘par excellence’ for morphine.” : jar effects of the antidote when differ- ently administered Dr. Moor continues: «Having gained tb. koowledge of "these facts, it is sot surprising. that | could swallow with impunity toxic | doses of sulphate of morphine followed in a few moments by a corresponding amount of the chemical body which I was justified to consider the antidote par excellence for morphine. Thas on ope occasion four bours after a full din- per, at & time when the stomach must have contained a great amount of solo- ble peptones and other organic matter, : I took two grains of the . sulphate of morphine in about balf of an ounce of water, followed in one minate by three _ grains of its antidute—for safety’s sake one grain more than npecessary—dis- - solved in foar ounces of water. other instance three hours after a light sapper I took in the presed-e of several colleagues belonging to the «af of the .

The Height of Oblivioussess. Yesterday I met a worthy gentleman whom years ago I used to see in the Paris salons.

There is 50 knowing what an Eng- Nebman will not do to decide a bet. Men have jamped across dining tables, monnted upon untractable steads— yea, and even kimed their own motbers-in- Agw-—in order to settle a wager. In fine. it onght to be an established maxim r us by this time that, given a cer- tain pumher of impossibilities and an equal number of yonng Englishmen, those impoufiilities will mot long ne ‘main such, provided they be made the subjects of bets. One of those incidents which go a long way toward justifying the repota- tion which as a nation of madmen we have earned among foreigners occarred "at St. Morits when, ‘in order to settle a bet,” Lord William Manriers and the fon. H. Gilson agreed to go down the ‘yillsge ‘‘run’’ mounted on rocking horses in place of ordinary toboggans. 4 feature of the race was that both tors were “attired in full hant- ing kit,"' and as elaborate preparations had been made for the contest and ro- * mor of the affair had been indostricasly noised abroud the crowd which bad as- sembled to witness it was both large and distinguished. ro The start was Bxed for 12 o'clock, and shortly before that hour the shouts of the spectators announced that the horses were off. Unlike the costom in toboggan races, both rtarted at the same time. In the first course Lord William Manners led as far as a certain angie of the ‘ran’ called Casper's Corners, from the fact that a hotel of that name is situated close by, but * taking it ratber high Mr. Gilson passed cleverly on the inside, which he maintained to the fin- ish," Lord William being summarily back some distance to the bad from the winning post, 2) In the second course Lor& William Manners again had the advantage as far as Casper’s Corners, where Mr. Gibson again tried to pass him on the iriside, bat being jockeyed by hi: opponent his horse swung round and proceeded down the rum tail foremost, but leading. The merriment of the spectators at this stage of the proceedings may be, more easily imagined than described, nor did it abate in the least when Mr. Gibson, - dismounting, seized it anceremonionsly by the noes snd turned. it into the way it should go. a ; Meanwhile Lord William Manners bad suffered disappointment a second time, for in attempting to *‘take’” —to ase a true honting term—a paticularly awkward part of the ‘run’ called Bel- vedere Corner his horse refused to re- spond to ite rider's exertions to get it successtally over the obstacle, and borse and jockey came down to the ground in one tumuitaous somersanit together. Lord William's discomfiture proved to be Mr. Gibson's opportunity. The time and ground that the former bad Jost by his involuntary flight through the air wer never recovered. Mr. Gib- son, with the position of his horses re- versed and his logs thrust scientifically in front of him, rode easily and triam- pbantly forward and eventually reached the winning post some seconds in nd- vance of his opponent. — Alpine Post.

The color of materials bas some in- fluence on the warmth of the clothing. Black and blue absorb beat freely from withount, bat white and light shades of yellow, etc., are far less ahsorbent. This difference can be demonstrated by eriment. The same material, when dyed with different colors, will absorb different amounts of heat. In bot coun- tries white coverings are universally worn, and sailors and others wear white clothing in hot weather. : With regard, however, to heat given off from the body the color of the ma- terials used as clothing makes little if any difference. Red flannel is popu- larly supposed to be warm, though it is po better in this respect than similar materials of equal substance, but white ‘or gray in color. Daik clothing is best ‘fot cold weather, because it more freely absorbs any heat that is obtainable. — Fortnightly Review. i _ Siimes Pass In Hard Tack.
