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. *

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.

"Wasn't It a terrifying experience,"

"It was exciting, but extremely in

"There's no law agaiust a person

Why Diseases Become Chronic.
Nerve Force Regarded by
Scientists as More Import
ant Than the Blood.
A $4.00 TREATMENT FREE.
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.

Smith of Chicago, after live leading physic

The treatments are not generally ad
vertised, but every chronic sufferer is
invited to write for Dr. Miles freo book

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.
