THE "ELEVATOR FACE." Doctor Ttilnk* Environment Ma, I'rodni-c New llnmnn Specie*. Now It Is the "elevator face." It Is characterized by a strained effort to look two ways at once. It has been noticed for some time, but has become more common since the Prick, Arrott and other very tall buildings have been erected. It Is the product of the desire to catch the first elevator pass lug the floor. Those who try It know this requires close watch on both sides at once, says the Pittsburg Gazette. The higher and larger the skyscrap ers the greater the number of elevators required. In fact, the ultimate height of ofllee buildings will be measured by the Inability to give elevator service on account of the space occupied by them. But to return to the "elevator face." A physician who believes in the Dar winian theory and attributes odd de velopment to environment declared the other day that modern civilization is working toward a now type of the hu man animal. "This straining to see on both sides at once," said he, "will cause the eyes to grow farther apart. It is not mere ly watching for elevators that calls for double vision at a wide angle. Crossing congested streets and looking for trolley cars and automobiles In both directions require the same kind of skill. In time the eyes will become in dependent of each other and placed well to the side of the forehead. Then the owner can cover as wide a Held us |bo turret guns on one of our new war ship*. This will allow him to watch for all the elevators at once or to see vehicles approaching from all direc tions. No doubt there will be other changes in the face. The features may grow sharp and peaked from the state of continual watchfulness, while the ears may be abnormal in size and have great delicacy in sense in order to catch the faintest rattle of the big chain on the elevators or the soft tread of the pneumatic tired auto. The whole expression will be one of great inten sity." Robert Edoson'* First Snoecmi. At Dayton, 0., there is a soldiers* home, witli a small theater attached to it. There during the summer young actors not jot admitted to regular pro fessional standing and possessed of more ambition than training gain expe rience for themselves and give amuse ment to the veterans by playing little one act plays, doing individual acts of various kinds and experimenting with all classes of roles, from feeble fathers to vigorous clog dancers. Years ago a certain young man, Robert Edeson, spent a summer vacation acting in Dayton and aroused such vociferous enthusiasm by his work on the little stage that a large notice was posted on one side of the drop curtain, "Mem bers of the audience with wooden legs must not applaud by stamping on the floor." But the veterans managed to obey orders and still keep up their applause. They crossed their acquired manufactured legs over their original natural ones and then whacked the wooden ones with their canes. And that was Robert Edeson's first suc cess.—Leslie's Monthly. The Way* of lle Turk. Baedeker's is generally regarded as a harmless book. Not so in Turkey, as a German traveler has learned to his grief. They found in his trunk a guide through Turkey and confiscated it. The next morning the Baedeker was returned to the German, but with more than a hundred pages, containing a description of Constantinople, torn out. The traveler went to the censor's office to complain of this inexplicable treatment of ids book. But the censor explained to him with irresistible logic that an accurate description of Con stantinople could not be suffered, since a knowledge of the locality was cal culated to facilitate an attempt on the sultuu's life. * Act!

Bsari the yj Kind You Hava Always BuugM CHOICE MISCELLANY A Momentous Sneeze. Perhaps because an elephant sneeze® so seldom or because he sneezes so loud oriental folk are very superstitious about the occurrence and believe that to hear an elephant sneeze brings good luck. The Bnltimore Herald gives an account of the effect produced by the sneeze of Jumbo 11. at the Marj'land industrial exhibition: Jumbo's sneeze is like the bursting of a boiler, and it created a fairly good sized panic. The elephant began to get ready for the sneeze half an hour be fore it happened, and as the time for the event drew near he was rolling about in his cage, apparently in great agony. Suddenly he stopped, gave one bellow and then sneezed. The look of perfect contentment on his face after the great event was in startling contrast to the terror seen on the faces of the fleeing people. Visitors to the exposition were running in all directions, not knowing what awful thing it was from which they were racing away. Among the Mohammedans of the ori ental and Cingalese villages Jumbo's sneeze caused wild excitement. They rushed to the cage and, bowing before Ids elephantine highness, began pray ing at a rapid rate. When they fin ished, they explained that an ele phant's sneezes are of the rarest occur rence, and the event was one of great significance to them. Elephants are susceptible to cold and catch cold eas ily, but it Is very, very rarely that they sneeze. Hymnn Allowed In the Trenwnry. A day or two after Secretary Shaw disciplined several clerks of the treas ury department for playing poker and indulging In other practices not con sistent with ids views of the proper conduct of public officials lie entered his otiice at an unusually early hour, even for him. Richard Page, of Afri can descent and of great dignity ac quired through his long connection with the department as a messenger, was singing an old fashioned church hymn, not thinking of course that the secretary was within the sound of his voice. When the messenger turned and discovered that the secre tary had heard him singing, he was sore afraid and begged that his viola tion of the rules of the department, which prohibit the making of unusual noises, should not result in his Imme diate discharge. "Never mind, Rich ard, never mind," consolingly said the secretary. "I see nothing in the rules of this department which prohibits the singing of church hymns. If more of that kind of music were rendered hero, we would all get along better. You can sing hymns, Richard, in this build ing as much as you want to, but re member, Richard, that I want you to sing only hymns when you sing at all." A New Sport For Women. "Hammering" is an unpleasant proc ess on the Stock Exchange, but in Aus tralia the word has recently acquired a new and more agreeable significance. At antipodean bazaars "hammering" is now an established institution. Ladles who enter for the competition go on a platform with hammers in their hands. Each is supplied with u piece of the hard Australian timber largely used for the paving of London streets. Each ludy is also presented with three nails, and at a given signal they start to work. The lady who Is the first to drive her three nails home to the head wins the prize. Says one descriptive reporter: "Steel sparks and splinters flew around. The nails would go any where but through the wood. The hammers would go anywhere but on the nail heads."—London Chronicle. The Ocean Trip. Half an hour or so appears to be an important saving in time in the ocean voyage. Columbus and Cabot and Drake would not have thought much of It, hut in these days of ship speeding every captain of a liner is ambitious to maintain his record and to beat it if possible. Again, there are people even in this age of hurry and bustle to whom the ocean trip Is in itself an agreeable incident. The society is gen erally pleasant, there are interesting sights on the deep, the fare is as good as that of a first class hotel, seasick ness has become unfashionable, there is plenty of reading matter and no dis position to look at it, and the trip is in short a restful loaf till the ship Is with in range of the wireless telegraph and the meddling world resumes its chat ter.— Brooklyn Eagle. An ItiKenlou* Swindle. A novel kind of swindle was prac ticed in a German town the other day. A man struggling along under a heavy burden suddenly stumbled and crashed through a plate glass store window. The proprietor of the store demanded payment. The porter said he had no money. Fassersby advised that he be searched. A thousand mark note was found on him, which, he said, belonged to his employer. The storekeeper, however, deducted 100 marks for the value of his window and handed 000 marks change to the porter, who went away swearing and protesting. A lit tle later the storekeeper discovered the thousand mark note was spurious. OHtriclieH. At the ostrich farm at Coronado it takes a bale of alfalfu hay cut up und a sack of barley to feed fifty-three birds. The chicks are as inquisitive as a monkey and will snap a button off your coat if an opportunity offers. The old males are fighters and can split fence boards with a kick. Rut when they get real mad they lie down and twist their necks and flap their wings like a skirt dancer. Young chicks a few weeks old are worth in the market $2 j each. HUMOR OF THE HOUR The Gratitude of the Helped. Her Husband's brother had through his own efforts become very rich. "Now," he said, "I will do something for her and the children. 1 am under no obligation to them, but they are poor, and I feel that it will be no more than right for me to help them." Therefore he bought a comfortable home for them and gave her the deed. Then he took her to the furniture stores, and they selected carpets, beds, chairs and other tilings that were necessary to make them comfortable, and he paid for them, after which he went about his own affairs rejoicing. She sat in her new home, with her hands clasped in her lap and a sad look on her face. "What is the trouble?" her neighbor asked. "I was thinking of the selfishness and meanness of some people," she sor rowfully replied. "Think of all the money he has, yet he is too stingy, too narrow minded, to even give us a pi ano!"— Chicago Record-Herald. Science. "Wasn't It a terrifying experience," asked his friend, "when you lost your foothold and went sliding down the mountains?" "It was exciting, but extremely in teresting," said the college professor. "I could not help noticing all the way down with what absolute accuracy 1 was following along the line of least resistance."—Chicago Tribune. Men Make the Laws. "There's no law agaiust a person making a fool of himself," growled old man Rolirer. "The men make all of the laws, do they not?" mildly asked Mrs. Rolirer. "Of course." "I see," she mused.

The blood was formerly regarded as the life-giving principle and to its con dition was attributed all that there was of health or illness. Now. physiologists know that nerve force and vitality are the same, and that the constitution, good or bad, depends upon nerve force. Nerve force controls all motion, sen sation, digestion and nutrition. An abundance of this subtle energy means health and vigor; a lack of it causes general debility, nervous prostration, premature decline, disease and death. Nerve force is chiefly generated in the brain, and therefore in the treatment of all lingering diseases the condition of the brain centers should bo carefully considered and treated. One great cause of diseases becoming chronic Is that physicians overlook the fact that deficiency of nerve force is the chief cause of most diseases. Nervous pros tration is due to lack of nerve force. Dr. Miles' Neuropathic Treatments strengthen and invigorate the nerve centers. They are the result of twenty five years' careful study, extensive re search and remarkable success. They build up the system by increasing nerve force, and have won for Dr. Miles the thanks of thousands of sufferers. Mrs. A. Kronck of Huntington, I ml., was cured after thirty physicians billed; Mrs. Flora Grantor of Bristol vibe, o, after twenty-two; Jas. R. Waite, the noted actor, altera soorn had pronounced him incurable; Mrs. Frank Smith of Chicago, after live leading physic ians had given her up; Mrs. Julius Keistcr of Chicago, alter ten; Mrs. U. Purker after six teen failed. The treatments are not generally ad vertised, but every chronic sufferer is invited to write for Dr. Miles freo book and Examination Chart. $-1 00 worth of treatment especially prepared for each case will be sent free as a trial.

There wore 1,071 strikes during 1901 in Germany, involving 141,220 persons, as against 1,4(52 strikes of 298,819 per sons in 1900. In 200 cases In 1901 the strikes were successful, in 285 cases they were partially successful, and in 571 cases they failed. The numerous islands of the Pata gonia archipelago are covered with ev ergreen forests capable of supplying immense quantities of valuable tim ber, while the mountain ranges, being of the same geological formation as those of Chile and Peru, are probably rich in mineral resources. The exporting of American shoes Is of comparatively recfent growth'. In 1895 this country exported only sl,- 000,000 wortli of boots and shoes, but for the fiscal year 1901 it sent abroad $5,500,000 worth of boots and shoes, and England and her colonies took $4,400,000 worth of this total. An effort is being made in Sweden to use electricity In agriculture. A seed Held is covered by a network of wire, and n strong electric current is turned on during nights and chilly days, but cut off during sunny and warm weath er. The system was invented by Pro fessor Lemstrom of Ilelsingfors, Fin land. Somo time ago tbe customs authori ties seized a box of skittles thut ar rived in Constantinople on the plea that the balls were hard and heavy and might be used as cannon balls, which would be exceedingly danger ous. It was not till one of the embas sies had taken n lot of trouble that the balls were given up. OASTOniA. Bears the Thß Kind You Have Always Bought Soil IN a Living OrgnnlNin. Formerly the soil was regarded as mineral matter, simply decayed rock mixed with dead organic matter, says an exchange. Now we know that the soil is a living organism whose life is as important as that of the animal or the plant itself. If the soil be killed, it is absolutely sterile. In other words, if the life of organisms which make soil fertile are destroyed the soil is incapable of producing a crop. Plants, as a rule, eat only mineral food, such as phosphoric acid, potash and nitric acid, hut animals usually eat only or ganic foods, such as fats, sugars and protein matter.
