“German Syrup” My niece, Emeline Hawley, was, taken with spitting blood, and she became very much alarmed, fearing that dreaded disease, Consumption. She tried nearly all kinds of medi cine but nothing did her any good. Finally she took German Syrup uud 6he told me it did her more good than anything she ever tried. It stopped the blood, gave her strength and ease, and a good appetite. I had it from her own lips. Mrs. Mary A. Stacey, Trumbull, Conn. Honor to German Syrup. & A Natural Food.

I ISLLa MADE QUEER BARGAINS. SOLO HIS HEAD FOS THE SAKE OF SCIENCE. *■ Mutually neneflclal Agreemedti lletween ,y I‘hyalclana uud tho Victims of lucura bio l)Ueasoi-A Trudlc in Abuormal Heads. The science of surgory is at prosont largely directed toward discovering the nature of nonorraal growths, unusual di eases and deformities. The directors at the hospitals koep ; a keen lookout for cusos which seem likely to develop something of ox- i traord inary interest. A novel plan has boon adopted of j making a bargain with a person i suffering with somo extraordinary j affliction, which binds him to have i delivered to tho surgeons at death ! either tho entire body or such part of it as may bt specified in tho eon- I tract, and which is likely to provo j of peculiar value fro.n a surgical standpoint. Those contracts aro regularly i drawn up, signo 1 and witnessed, and j would probably hold as woll in law as a contract for tho futuro delivery j of a pared of real estate, although ! no cu e in which litigation has ! arisen for breach of contract on ! either side has yet been mado public, j There can be no question that tho ' bargain is a beneficial one to both * parties. Tho sufferer, if he bo in ! needy circumstances, is assured a I decent burial. Tho physician, from j a wido range of subjects, is free to j choose such at pqmml' 1 ’nteroßting and profitable results. Persons I whoso bodios have been thus con tracted for aro known among doc tors as ‘-healthy cadaver s,” a para doxical and somewhat disrespectful term, hut siitliciontly explanat py. Jn transactions of this sort every detail is conducted with perfect deli- j cacy. If tho patient is suffering j from somo incurable disease, from tho effects of which the physicians lmvo made up tholr minds that ho must dio in a given time, tho news i-i gently broken to his friends, a contract is drawn and signed and tho patient pursues tho oven tenor of his way. in blissful ignornneo that his days aro numbered or that a prico has l oon set on his body. If ho has no relatives or friends, ho is delicately approached by tho physician and tho facts aro rovoalod with all possiblo consideration. 110 is made to understand that death is suro to eomo after a certain poriod and a round sum is offered. If ho bo at all reasonable and open to con viction, ho will invariably accept tho money nnd sign tho contract. Of course it is not always certain that the patient will dio beforo tho physician, an 1 this fact ha i led to somo rather curious consoquonces. One patient at Bellovuo hospital, who lias boon thero longor than any other, has reaped quite an income from i epeatod sales of his head. It seems to boa part of tho ethics of this peculiar bargaining that, in caso tho patient survivos tho sur goon, ho shall be at liberty to entor into nnotho.* contract. This Bollovuo patient's namo i 3 “Mike” Kelly. Ho is a small man. übout 55 years old, and suffers from six tumors on tho t ight side of tho face. Mr. Kolly attracted the atten tion of Professor John R. Wood, of tho hospital, who had made a specialty of tumors, and tho pro fessor was often observed eyeing tho tumors. A careful examination showed that thoy wero incurable, and that an attempt to remove them might result fatally. Finally tho professor,whoso desire to possess tho tumors increased, mado an a;roomcnt by which Kelly, in consideration of a certain sum, was to allow his hoad, after death, to be deliVeacd over for examination. Dr. Wood exhibited Koely as a cur iosity in which ho had a propriotary intorest, and proudly rclatod to his fellow physicians how ho had secured tho tumors all for his own u-o after Mr. Kelly's demise. Soon afterward tho doctor died. Mr. Kelly then contracted with an other physician in tho hospital for tho disposal of his head. This pledge, like tho previous one, was dissolved by tho death of tho physi cian, nnd Air. Kolly smiled softly. At last accounts ho had mado another contract, and except for tho tumors, was in tho enjoyment of perfect health. In the musoum of Bollovuo hospital aro a number of specimens taken from “healthy cadavers,” which tho lato Professor Wood regarded as val uable in showing the progress made by modern surgery. One which at tracts particular attention, is that representing a reproduction of a jaw bone after removal of tho inferior maxilla. The jawbone can bo 6een in tho skull of tho patient, who was rather a good looking woman accord ing to her phot graph. .Sho had boen employed in a match factory and had contracted necrosis of tho bono of tho lower jaw from tho fumos of phosphorus, inhaled whilo at work. Sho lived for somo years with tho substitute jawbone, ana at death, as a .token of gratitude to Professor Wood, she bequeathed hor head to him for icientific purposes. Professor Wood once entered into a contract with tho guardians of a lunatic on Blackwell's island, known as “The Admiral,” who was suffering from a peculiarly fascinating disease. It was stipulated that, for a certain sum, on tho death of “The Admiral” his head was to bo delivered to tho physician, “The Admiral” died and Dr. Wooil sent a messenger to secure the prize. Tho messenger failed to report to Dr. Wood, but delivered tho can to anothor physician in tho hospital. Hearing of his error, Dr. Wood sent for the can and got it. When he opened it, however, it was found to contain two bricks, which had probably been substituted by somo person with an idea of per petrating a practical joke. Dr. Wood never recovered tho hoad for which he had waited so patiently,nor did lie ever forgive tho person who so cruelly deceived him.

The same act fixed the standard troy pound at 5,709 grains and the avoirdupois pound at 7,090 such grains troy. At the same time tho gallon was mad a to equal ten pounds avoirdupois of distilled water; tho capacity of the imperial gallon thus became 277,274 cubic inches, representing 70,099 grains. A cubic foot of water was reckonod to weigh 62,321 pounds avoirdupois. Artificial Ics Surfaces. A successful system of producing artificial ico surfacos has boon in j augurated in I’uris, and available in I largo areas at all seasons of tho year. | As explained, tho machinery consists : of two ammonia ico machines, driven } by two fifty-horse power steam en i gines; this ico apparatus has pumps | which force ammoniacal gas intq i water-cooled condensers, liquefying tho gas, which passes Into largo reservoirs, where it expands with tho production of cold, tho same gas be ing pumped back and used continu ously. In tho application of this sys tom for tho formation of a skating surface, a rink has been constructed sixty by 130 feet, having a floor of cork and cement, upon this boing laid three miles of connected iron pipe; through this pipe circulates a solution of cblorido of calcium, an uncongoalable liquid. which, by passage through spirals in tho refrig erating reservoirs, is coolod to somo five to twenty degrees below zero. Tho water over tho pipe is thus kept frozen, and daily sweeping and Hood ing insure smoothnoss. Suro to Drlvo Him Mail. Miss Womanola- -X have hit on a great schomo for an ad. Manager—What is it?

Chandler was once a candlemalccr. Payne. Paine, and the lik“, are con tractions of Pa?an. Croker and Crocker had fathers who made earthenware. Stot was for.rerly a herd, henco tho Stottards r.ud Stoddards. Miller, Mil man, Mills, Milner, Mil ward, all have the same derivation. Ca’.vert was once a calf herd; so also wera tho CalverJs, Coverti and Cul vards. Baric, Barker and Barkley show tho importance of taa bark In early Eng lish times. Crook, Crump, Cramp and Crimp are but clia tges rung on an oIJ nickname for a cripple. Pattens were overshoes, hence the Pdt'ons, Fatons, Pat toners, Putners and Putnams. Sanders. Saunders, Sanderson, are variations of Alexander, a favorite name in Scotland. Clark was the village penman and the father of a long lino who spell their one name in many ways. White, Black, Brown, Gray, Green, Reed or Red, Ru ldlo and a few more originated in peculiarities of dross or complexion. Johnson, Jones, Jenkins, Jennings, Jacks, Jackson, Littlejohn, Mickle john, Jaynes and many others are tho sons of plain John. Strong, Long, Sho:t, Bigge, Little, Lowe, Small, Slight, Fatt, Stout, Young, Light and Heavy were all given as nicknames. CUT-OFF DIALOGUES. Tramp—Madam, I was not always thus— Madam No. It was your other arm you had in a sling this morning. Mistress—So you are going to leave iny service? Now, what motive im pels you to go away? Servant—lt’s no motive, nindaine: it's a soldier. Mr. Watts—l wonder if a woman ever does get too old to marry? Mrs. Watts—That’s pretty hard to answer. Age does not always bring wisdom. Nowitall—There goes a young artist who will make hit mark some day. Growler—llo’d better b’gin now; ha can't sign his name so anybody can read it. “Your husband is 60 magnetic a man.” said tho visitor. “I know it,” responded the wife. “I found a steel hairpin sticking in his coat collar the other day.” He—But don't you tliir\k you could learn to love me? Sho—lt might serve, like Greek and Litin at the colleges, not for usa, but for mental exercise. I'll tjiink of it The Poet—Did you receive those verses I sent you last week? The Editor—l did. “I haven't received anything for them yet.” “No; but you will. Th a court will not convene until next week.” “Do you take the daily paper?” asked the newly installed j ini tor of the apartment house. “No,” replied the lady to whom he was talking, j “we subscribe for it, but tho people ; in the next fiat take it.” ( She—You mustn't try to kiss me at | the station, for there nre so many | people there.” He, protestingly— | But everyone will think we are brother and sister. She —And we will j be. too, if you attempt it. j “Was his injury accidental?” asked the New York man. “Not exactly,” j replied the man from Brooklyn, j “What do you mean?” “Well, you { might say it was in the natural j course of events.

If you propose to ride in the last car of the first section we don't want you at all.” MILLIONS IN MARRIAGE. Cupid's Pranks Considered From a Novel Financial stand-Point. Last year thero wero. according to the roturns of tho registrar-general. 226.922 marriages in England and Wales. Tho roturns from Scotland and iroland bring it up to a total of moro than 275,099 for tho United Kingdom. Just consider tho amount of monoy that must baspont in connection with 275,090 marriages, and tho conclu sions that follow haue suggested a new train of thought to a Tid-Bit contri butor. It moans, in tho first placo, as many courtships. What is tho usual length of a courtship? That deponds, like many other things. But seeking a happy modium. wo may fairly taico eighteen months as an average. Soy one half of our swoethcarting couples aro so situated that letter writing becomes a necessity. Say they correspond with each other only once a fortnight (a circulation which must bo far below tho mark); put them on tho moderate allowanoo of no more than two shoots of note* papor, and wo shall soo tho dainty collection of sweet uothiugs amount ing in tho mass to a postal rovonuo of $295,000 and a yearly stationer’s bill of 8100,090. But theso aro very small items to think about. Tho jeweler will como in for a heavier sbaro of tho profits. Thero will bo 275,090 wedding rings at a guinoa apioeo, and ongagemont rings which shall bo well within tho lino in assossing at tho same prico. Then thero are tho presents which tho lovor will naturally bestow upon tho lady of his choice, ranging from tho fivo-thousand-doilur bracelet of tho duko to the shilling brooch of tho coster. If wo put them down with tho rings at a guinoa in each caso and credit them to tho jowolor again wo shall have un account of nearly £1,009,099. Thon como tho railway companies. Thoy must surely reap a golden harvest out of tho courting. With tno inevitablc*trips and traveling of separated sweethearts to sco one another, wo mav safoly strike an average of sls for each courtship, which will give us a round sum of $750,009. But all those aro only prelim i narios. 'I’Uo groatost oxpondituro will como with tho wedding day. There is the troussoau, moro or less costly, according to circumstances, for tho brido, and at loast a now suit for the bridogroom. It can bo dono choaply enough, goodness knows, when bridal dresses can bo bought second band and top hats arc obtained “on tho hire system.” But most folks like to “do” a wedding to the bost of their ability, and in tho uppor and middle classes, at any rate, tho tailor’s share of tho profits is a largo ono. Taking only tho moderate sum of $25 in each caso will give us a total of nearly $3,- 000. ooa Than thoro aro wodding cakos and marriage breakfasts. Reckon thoso expenses of social entertainment at only $lO a hoad, and wo get anothor $590,009; 275,090 wodding foos. licenses and clergyman’s charges will amount to above $509,099, and as many half crowns to pew openers will foot tip to $150,099, whilo tho livery stahioman’s bill, allowing only ono carriago to every wodding, will make $399,099 moro. Finishing up tho honeymoon wo shall find anothor tolerable sum to bo added to the costs of matrimony. Here thero will surely bo diversity enough; every stago between tho favorites of fortune who may flit luxuriantly through Europe for a year and tho daily laborer whoso idea of bliss is limited to a day off. If wo accept $25 as a reasonable average of so many honeymoons, wo havo a final sum of $1,259,999 to carry on our account Thus, without speaking of furni ture and other preparations for mar ried life and confining our calcula tions to tho expenses of courtship and tho honeymoon, wo shall be with in tho mark in saying that tho annu al marriage census of tho Unitod Kingdom represents a total oxpondi turo of $35,090,009 a consideration which would cortainly indicate that marriage is by no means a bad thing for trado. A Hr.ivo Yuuiiff Muu. Tho girls had seen a picture of a lifo-oaving fire corps organized by the young ladios of an English town, and decided to form a similar brigade. The drill consisted in getting around a largo blanket and holding it to catch unfortunates who should jump from the second or third stories of burning dwellings. But tho -fair members of tho corps wanted somo l'oal practico. After much persuasion a young man, deeply enamored of ono of tho members, was prevailed upon to fall into tho blankot from tho top of a barn. Tho llfo savers gathered ono afternoon, attirod in becoming uniform, and twelvo gath ered around tho blankot and took a firm grip. Then tho accommodating young man climbed up on tho roof of tho building, mado ready, and jumped. Each girl was gazing up ward, and at tho terrible sight of a man falling through tho air thoy wero all so shocked that, without thinking, twenty-four hands went up to as many oyes to shut out tho view.

Tho Stanford University of Califor nia—founded by the late Senator Le land Stanford—is rapidly becoming the wealthiest institution of the kind in the world. There are several Amer ican universities und colleges which enjoy enormous wealth. For example, Columbia University has an invested capital of $31,000,000; Harvard, sll,- 000,000; Yale, $10,000,000; tho Cali fornia, $7,000,000, and the Johns Hop kins. $3,000,000. The endowment funds of the Stanford University can not at present be stated, partly be cause the income from it will only ac crue upon the death of Sonator Stan ford’s widow, and partly because the benefaction exists in the shape of property which is increasing in value. Hut estimates, which appear to bo well founded, have been made at San Francisco, showing that at no distant date the university will be worth $200,000,000, yielding an annual in come of $11,000,000. The estate comprises large sections of the richest land in California, measuring 89,400 acres, the whole of which is suitable for vineyards and or chards. The Palo Alto property of 8,400 acres is in a high state of culti vation, and largely planted with vines. The Vina estate, which embraces 59,- 000 acres, has about 5,000 covered with wines, with a productive capacity of 20,000 tons of grapes per annum. The rest of the Vina property is de- | voted to raising farm stock. The Gridlcy estate of 22,000 acres is de voted to wheat growing, but in time it will become vineyard land. The proper employment of its great pros pective income by the Stanford Uni versity is a question which is occupy ing the leading minds of the State. — London News. Ingcnoll'i Itcply to an Englishman. A few years after the v.ar Hob lnger soll was riding in England in the usual compartment car and drifted into a dispute on American matters with a pop-eyed, dogmatic, bull-headed, iras cible old fellow, whoso sympathies were hotly with the South. Several other Englishmen were present heart ily enjoying the occasional quiet tosses their friend received from tho un known Yankee, until at last the old one, in a convulsion of fury, screamed into Ingersoll’s very teeth that bare legged old ghost of a conundrum, “Would yo letchcr daughter marry a nigger?” “Noj answered Hob, quietly, nor an Englishman.” Washington Post. A Ton'o that Qn'.eti the Nerve*.

It Is said that the introduction of physical training into the public schools of Boston has been followed by most beneficial results. It has now been tried long enough to enable one to predicate something about its effects. In 181)0 the Swedish educational system of gymnastics was Introduced, and slnco then the students have bech compelled to go through certain exercises every day. At the opening in Srptembcr of the present school year comparisons were made between the bearing and physique of the scholars to-day and their appearance three years ago. It was the unanimous opinion of the teachers that their charges had become much more graceful in carriage, stronger and more ro bust. In tho high school there has never been a brighter and healthier lot of boys. Tho system in vogue is thorough. Eaeh teacher receives a lesson in the exercises ev ery two weeks, and the scholar* devote fifteen minutes a day to “physical culture.” There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable.

Social economists will find much food for thought in an address de livered to the Royal Statistical Society this week by Charles Booth, the cen sus expert. He analyzed the London returns of 1891 in a striking way. Ho said poverty and crowding generally went hand in hand, but the connection bctVrccn the two was hardly more close than between either of them and the number of early marriages. The number of such marriages, again, was closely connected with the proportion which the sexes bore to each other. In the poorest districts, where women married soonest, thcro was a still greater surplus of unmarried men. In the richest districts, where women married latest, there was a still greater surplus of unmarried women. The birth rate on the whole was greatest where the surplus of unmarried men was greater than where* the sexes were most evenly balanced. All this held reasonably well together, but the con nection, which was not less marked in poor districts, between those condi-' tions and the high death rate depend ed on other considerations. The ex cess of deaths counterbalanced the ex cess of births, and the result was a high rate. The natural increase did not go with poverty. Hooth divided the population of London into classes by grouping families employing ser vants, which rates as the upper class, and those occupying four rooms or less, which ranks as tho lower class. From both he cuts out a central class, consisting of familes which, though oc cupying less than fivo rooms, have more than a room apieco for each mem ber, and also those who, though keep ing one servant, arc not less than four in family. Into this central class he throws also families, occupying five rooms or more without servants. It then appears that only 250,000 of Lon don’s 5.000,000 belong to the upper class, while 000,000 fumilics rank in tho lower class; 31 per cent, of the population are crowded in quarters more than two per room; 12 per cent, live three or more per room.
