Imomnli. "What do you think nervous tricks and habits, doctorF asked a reporter of Dr. Charles H. Hughee, at the physician's office. "Their serious consideration would fill your paper," he answered. "But of what may best bo characterized ob tricka and petty mannerisms possessed by so many people, 1 would say that they ere only too often the precursors of a graver nervous condition the irHHni warnings of nature, as it were, of the dlcction in which the system is tending. Often, to be sure, these habits never become worse, tbo condition of the nervous system giving rise to them recovering through some fortuitous circumstance. There are sudden Starts, the patient is easily frightened, disturbing tbo motor area of the brain and giving riso to semi-spasmodic actions. What physicians call the inhibitory power of the farain to arrest morbid influences becomes impaired so that what tho mind would usually restrain posses into action. Tho mind lias tho ability to enforce each restraint, but action affords so much relief that the sufferer acquiesces, and nervous habits, newly Acquired, aro tbo result. "Wo bavo all ceen the practices into which nervous peoplo falL There is tbo man who clears his throat qr coughs, when ho has never tiie sign of a cold, or who yawns when he has so reason whatever to feel bored. Others will twitch their beard or mustache, pull at their clothing or buttons, or pick and bite at their finger nails until the blood runs. Then there are other such familiar evidences of embarrassment as tho continual shifting of the position when in company, and this, together with a tendency to automatic and absent minded actions when not dependent on profound mental preoccupancy, may be often token as indicating tho approach of nervous prostration. When ono gets very nervous, marked habito of irritation appear fnmWur and naturally ogroeablo sounds— «uoh as the prattle of children—bccome annoying. Insomnia will set in, tho repair of the system becomes unequal to tho daily demand, and tho result is seen in irregularities of regulated movemonts. Some people will jerk and twitch their bodies when they fall asleep, from nn irregular explosion of motor nerve force, the energy of a spinal cell becoming suddenly liberated. This same condition of things higher up in tho brain gives rise to inopportune and incomplete ideation, disturbing and comfortless dreams, when the natural capacity of the brain to secure its own timely repose is impaired. "In still graver states of nervous troubles may be observed morbid fears, some of them most peculiar. There are people afflicted with monophobia, or the fear of being alone, which is a most peculiar condition of the mind. I know a lawyer who would never dare to appear in court for the purpose of pleading a case when unaccompanied by his wife or some other member of the family. When so supported he would argue well and at length, but otherwise an indefinable terror of something that might happen—he knew not what—would seize him and render him powerless. Thon there are victims of claustrophobia, or the fear of going through narrow places, and I have known people to be in mortal terror when proceeding along any but the broadest thoroughfares, lest the houres should close in on them and crush them. A:ithrophobia and gynephobia, the one the fear of crowds and of men, and the other the fear of women, aro not uncommon. These and similar troubles, associated with morbid nounds in the ears, are symptoms of what has been termed American nervousness, or neurasthenia, it being first discovered by American physicians. Again, we bavo perversion of smell and taste, all local causes being absent cases of people who smell smoke when there is none at hand, and tho predilection of school girls for chalk and ground slate pencils. The liking for alcohol is often a matter of the nerves and even acquired tastes for various articles of food and drink may be 'traced to the same cause. "One of the saddest symptoms ot nervousness, and one which in many instances marks the last stages of the affliction, is the indecision of men previously remarkable for vigor and the rapidity with which they grasped conclusions and acted on their convictions.

But perhaps the most characteristic of all nervous troubles is tho four of personal contamination, which appears to have developed more since the advancement of thebascilii theory, and which so affects some persons that they will not shake hands or otherwise oome into actual contact with their neighbors."

In connection with this last a certain gentleman well known in St. Louis, but now dead, may be recalled ly many in whom was developed in a remarkable degree this fear of contamination. He wow gloves, and not only would not shake hands, but had the greatest aversion to touchingrany one Ritting next hint in a street car. Many people there are who have someone nervous afiiiction that never develops into anything worse, and which is merely a source of annoyance to the afflicted. One gentleman found it impossible to sleep at times, and after chasing imaginary sheep over imaginary fences without avail, bethought himself of tracing the figure "8" on the ball of his thumb with the forefinger of the same hand. This intricate process attained the desired (Hid, but unfortunately became such a matter of habit that it was continued in waking hours, and when last heard from the victim was unconsciously laboring to lull himself asleep in the day time.

Those are but a few of the many types of nervous men that every one encounters. That they could be reduplicated by the score goes without saying, but tost the reader be added to the long list of unfortunates, it may be just as well to let the medkml books tell the rest.—8t* Louis Republican.

HIS LOVE AND HERS.

Tegr'her they sat on a woodland rock, Whet tho sun tipped tbo western hills And a ring dove cooed for his absent Bate, As be ripped from the rippling' rills. Tbe youth with a bold, determined look, The girl so still by his side As he told of tbe fame he meant to adtkn, Before she could be his bride. He said he would delve in the mines of fame, He would strive on tbe plains of life At last he would come with honor and wealth. And claim her then as his wife. Tbe son fell asleep behind the hills, Tbe night forgot the day But the new moon looked like a half buried bopst As she silently followed her way.

The youth arose as tie shadows feO, But the girl still sat on tbe stone And oft tho shadows will round her fUQ, And mark her sitting alone For the youth will forget those words of iota, Another will sit by his side But the maiden will wait cs rnskifina do, For the to claim w« bride. —Mary McCreary ia Philadelphia Times.

EATING WELSH RAREBJT8.

A Hotel Men Gives a Few Points Concemlng tbo Famous 2Msh. 'Tho quantity ot prepared cheoso nightly consumed by actors and men about town is surprising," said James Butler, of the Gilsey house, tho other day. "After tho theatre all of tho uptown chop houses and cafes aro crowdcd with gentlemen seated at well appointed tables sipping molt liquors end eating Welsh rarebits, or rabbits, as some call them." "Why fa this dish called Welsh rarebits, when according to Brillat-Savarin it ia of Swiss origin asked the writer. "Welsh rarebit is a slang term," said Mr. Butler, "belonging to a large group which describe in the same humorous way tho special dish, or product, or peculiarity of a particular district. It is quite English to things by some outlandish name. In England an 'Essex lion' is a calf. A 'field lane duck' is a baked sheepshead. 'Glasgow magistrates' and 'Norfolk capons1 are red herrings. 'Irish apricots' end 'Munster plums' aro potatoes, and tho dainty salt water shrimps aro called 'Graveeecd sweetmeats.' The original Welsh rarebit was made as follows: Tako as many eggs as you wish, according to the number of guests, and weigh them. Then tako a pieco of cheese third of the woight of the eggs, and a piece of butter weighing ono-sisfch as much. Beat tiie eggs, after which add the butter and tho cheese, either grated or cut into small pieces. Put tho ingredients into a saucepan, and over a good fire stir until tho mixture is smooth

«nrl

thick, yet soft. Add salt to taste, and a liberal quantity of pepper, which is one of the principal charms of this dish. "I imagine the foregoing dish would set rather heavy on tho stomach of the average late supper eater. Dr. Austin Flint, however, has been quoted as recommending his friends and patients to eat Welsh rarebits, or anything else they take a fancy to, whenever they art hungry. He said: 'Dyspeptics aro chiefly persons who eat regularly, restrict their diet to simple food in small amounts, and constantly have their stomachs on' their minds.' The only time the busy New Yorker thinks of his stomach is when it is empty. Even then business may prevent him from satisfying ita demands." "Does the modern Welsh rarebit contain iggsf' asked the writer. "No, the American Welsh rarebit is made as follows: Cut up a quarter of a pound of mild cheese. Put it into a saucepan with a pat of butter and stir over the fire until it is thoroughly melted and free from lumps. When quite smooth add a wineglass of old ale and mix it well into the cheese. Put a thin slice of hot toast on a hot plate or side dish, pour the melted cheese over it, and serve as quickly as possible. It should be eaten from the plate in which it is served. "A golden buck is made by adding a poached egg to a Wolsh rarebit. A Yorkshire buck is made by adding bacon to a golden buck. It is quite fashionable for gentlemen to cook their Welsh rarebits in a chafing dish at table. A few of the patrons at our restaurant aro celebrated for their mode of preparing, them.

The Boy Didn't Smoke.'

While we were lying around the camp fire one evening after supper a boy some 13 or 14 years old came along driving some cows, and stopped for a short call. Briar had been for some time meditatively watching tho smoke of his pipe curl up and mingle with that of ho fire, when he turned to tho bOy and said: "Won't you have a smoke? I've got an extra pipe in my pocket, and here's some tobacco." "I don't never smoke," replied the boy "That's right," replied Briar. "I supposed you did or I wouldn't have asked you. I wouldn't try to induce any boy to use tobacco—it's a bad habit—I wish I had never begun its use myself—you just keep letting it alone. Haven't you sometimes found it hard to keep from smoking when around os the farm whore nearly every man has a pipe in his mouthr "No, I duuno as I have very," replied the boy. "You see, I've chawed ever since I was T, so that has kinder helped to keep me from wantin' to smoke. If you've got any good satin' tcrbacker handy I wouldn't mind takin' a bite—dark plug is my style—fine cut is only about right for babies 1"—Fred H. Car ruth in Chicago Tribune.

I was surprised to observe how saving wealthy Englishmen are in small things. In the matter of dinners, for example, and refreshments at an entertainment, the best people in London do not make such an extravagant display as we do here in Washington. They have got all over that foolishness^ Dinners of sixteen courses are often given here! That is preposterous.

AZTECS AND TOLTECS.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CITIES OF A BYGONE CIVILIZATION.

Anelent Rains in Kexloo aad Central America—A People to Be Speculated Over by Arehssologlsts aad Aad Antlqoarlana—•Discoveries of Travelers*

The light thrown on this ancient civilisation of the Toltecs in Mexico and Central America by the recent discoveries in Arizona, is of value in establishing certain traditions which have long been known and upon which many theories have been based. Tradition has always said that the Toltecs, who probably arrived in the vale of Anahuac sometime in the Fourth century, came from tbe north, and this the present discoveries confirm. That they took their civilization with them instead of developing it in the valley of Mexico is also certain. Perhaps, too, the destruction of these cities of the Salt River valley may explain the more stable character of the Toltec ruins in Mexico and Yucatan, and some of the peculiarities in their construction.

The ruins in tho vale of Anahuao and In Yucatan and Honduras are all characterised by the same general features, and it has been supposed that for the most part they were builded by the Toltecs, and that the Axtecs, who drove out the Toltecs from Mexico, and whose king, Montezuma, was conquered by Cortex, added but little to the Tolteo civilization which they found and conquered. It is interesting to note in this connection that Dr. Daniel Wilson considers the mound builders of the Ohio valley and the United States the probable ancestors of the Aztecs, and that modern discovery seems to reveal many traits of the mound builders in the Aztecs. If such were the case it is evident that either great progress was made by the mound builders before they could develop the civilization which Cortex found in Mexico, or that that civilization' was in largo part the work of a race whom the Aztecs conquered and whose civilization they added to their own. From the earth mounds of the Ohio valley it is quite a step to the stono palaces and temples and mounds banked with stone, with elaborately carved facades, which are foimd in Mexico and Yucatan.

Bunra or tttcatait.

The r^ins of Yucatan are of particular interest. 8o early as 1839 and 1841 Stevens and Catherwood visited these ruins and made fine drawings of many of them. Other explorers have followed, and though our knowledge of them is still very incomplete, yet enough is known to make it sure that at ono time a wonderful civilization exiRted amid the tropical forests of Yucatan. Today vast pyramidal mounds or terraces are found, not terminating in a point, as did the Egyptian, bnt having on their summits platforms that support ponderous structures of hewn stone, which were unquestionably erected for purposes of a sacred character. Many of these teocalll were of earth, but the greater part were built of brick or stone. Palaces were also constructed on these mounds. At Palenque, in Chiapas, the most southern province of Mexico, are ruins of a palace on the top of a vast mound, whose base was 310 by 260 feet, and height 40 feet, and the palace on the summit 228 by 180 feet, and 25 feet high. The palace is one story, with fourteen doorways in front and rear, and eleven at each end. The walls are decorated with what Catherwood pronounces admirable stuccos, and the water colors on the cement are much the same as the frescoes of ancient. Italy.

In Honduras, tho ruins of Copan, tie city of idols, are of ihterest. Great monolithic statues of deities abound, the most femarkable being twelvo feet high and four feet square and carved elaborately with what are supposed to be Toltec hieroglyphics, an abbreviated and more complex form of tbe Indian picture writing. The city is located on the banks of a river and was surrounded by vast walls, portions of which, from sixty to ninety feet in height, remain standing.

At Uxmal, in Yucatan, vast ruins aisexist. Catherwood says that "in vast extent, variety, and preservation they impressed him at first glanco with the same feelings of wonder and admiration as did the ruins of Thebes." Tho Casa de los Monjos or House Nuns, is a rectangular building 300 fee: square and incloses a large court. Each side presents different designs, and no less than sixteen different facades, all richly decorated and painted, existed at the time of Catherwood's investigation. The Teocallis, at Uxmal, is on a vast pyramid 100 feet above tho level ot the plain, and its front is most elaborately carved.—"Max" in Cleveland Leader.

P-f Cigarette Smoking. Cigarette smoking is one of the worst of habits, physically, that a boy can form. It injures the heart and the digestion, and it tends to check the growth. It gives a lad false and silly notions, and it does net bring him into good company. The parent's duty is a simple one. Let him point out the injuriousness of the habit let him laugh at it, and if this is not enough, as it should be with any right feeling boy, then let him forbid it with penalties, and do seasonably what is to be done. I am not of those who think that severe measures are often necessary in tho management of children that receive a careful and affectionate training. But if in some cases nothing else will do it is well to consider that a switch in time saves nine.— Dr. Coan in Harper's Young People. iM/m 5 Congressmen's Biographies.

Tho biographies furnished by members are sometimes deliciously funny. One man wrote a voluminous sketch of himself, mentioned that h« was separated from his wife, but it was all her fault, and gave a circumstantial account of his domestic infecilities, asking his fellow members to take his word for it all. He was surprised and disgusted that it didnt coma out. Other members in their first term get furious with the compiler at the directory for not catting out portions they have written in all confidence, because they see the screaming absurdity of it as S9on as it is contrasted with the modest biographies furnished by the leading men in congress.—Washington Cor.

STARVING TO DEATH.

FEAT NOT EASILY ACCOMPLISHED IN NE\(V YORK.

What the Man Who Lookx After ths City's Paupers Says on tbe Subject—Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor.

"How can a person starve to death in New York city I" was asked by a reporter of Superintendent Blake, who looks after the city's paupers. Mr. Blake didn't stop to think before be said: "You can't and then he added: "That is, you can't unless yoj want to real bad. Of course, if you lock yourself up somewhere where no one can get at you, and don't eat anything or make any noise to attract attention, you may succeed in dying of starvation but that's about tbe only way you could do it in New York. If you would starve, take my advice and don'c try it in New York you are sure to be caught at it. "There is no red tape about the relief of destitute people in this city. In the first place, the city doesn't do it at all. The city gave up giving outdoor relief several years ago. All the city does for poor people is to send them to the workhouse. But, naturally, information of people who are in need of immediate assistance usually oomes to me. Generally the neighbors are tbe ones who find out the case, and they either come here or inform the police. In either case the action is immediate. I always send a messenger directly around to the office of tbe New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, and ii ten minutes after I hear of the cose a visitor of that society is on her way with provisions and medicine for tbe relief of the sufferers, while if it is reported as likely to be a hospital case, I also fend one of our ambulances at once.

NECESSARY RED TAPE.

"After the immediate necessities of tbe family or person are relieved then comes the red tape. The society's visitor looks up tbe matter and reports to her superiors. For the city an investigation is made, and it is ascertained whether the persons are legally a charge upon this municipality or belong somewhere else, Generally they are recently arrived emigrants, for whom the Castle Garden authorities must look out. But in any event the sufferers get good food and careful attention until responsibility for their permanent care is fixed. "Actual pauperism is comparatively rare in this city, much as we hear about poverty. The poorest parts of the city are inhabited by people that live like pigs in a pen, not because they have to, but because they want to save money. Tho workhouse is kept full, but it is chiefly with men and women who go there rather than work. Of course many honest and respectable persons come here to ask for relief. In every such case I endeavor to send them away encouraged to try for work again. I tell them for heaven's sake to keep out of the workhouse—to work at anything at which they can pick up a penny rather than degrade themselves by becoming public charges. For it certainly does degrade them. Nine times out of ton it ruins them, and they go back again and again, and finally become of tbe sort that is sent up twice a year for six months each time. "It would probably surprise people to know that thero are men who, because they cannot find work at their trade, wiil come i^re for aid before they will try to get work at anything else. To such I absolutely refuse to give commitment, and direct them where to go to get laboring or other work if they fail at their trade. In most cases they take my orders. Sometimes they appeal to a magistrate and get a commitment anyhow. Women are still worse. Practically a woman can always get a living if she is willing to do domestic work for her board and clothes. There's no excuse for their going to the workhouse, and I tell them so every chance I get."

THE WOUK OP BELIEF?

Jotin Bowne, whose aspect mingles the venerable with the benevolent, is the general agent of tho New York Association for Improving the Condition of tbe Poor, on which Superintendent Blake depends to relieve cases of extreme destitution. It has been in existence well toward half a century. It expends about $25,000 a year in its work of relief, of which (50 per cent, goes directly to tho people aided and 40 per cent, is consumed in expense. Mr. Bowne said: "There is never any delay in relieving cases of destitution coming to our knowledge through the charities department of the city or in other ways. Our visitors on their regular rounds whenever they hear of a case give aid immediately and report it afterward. A visitor sent out on information brought to the office always takes food and medicine with ber. I do not think it is possible for a person who really wants to live to starve to death in New York. If in a house, tbe neighbors are always ac baud to give aid, and the police are sure to discover a case out of doors. In most of the cases reported in tbe papers of starvation, alcoholism has more to do with it than lack of food. Our money is collected chiefly through a canvasser, who is employed regularly. Most of it comes from individuals. Comparatively little is contributed by the churches, because we urge that each church should look after its own poor, and they are getting to do so very generally. "The saddest cases we have are not those in which abject poverty is the feature, but those where misfortunes have reduced persons of cultivation and good position to destitution. Such are often restrained by pride from asking aid until the last possible moment, but they rarely carry it so far as to starve to death rather titan seek help."

Vocal Studies Abroad.

A reputable physician, who bas made a careful study of tbe effects produced upon young American women who have gone abroad for vocal studies, says that only about one-sixth of tbe number ever return with as good voice as when they left, and less than half of the number with an improved voice. Only those iu poor health are shown to have really improved in voice by a prolonged change of cliinato and study in Europe. His advice is that American ladies should always live and study the "Italian method," as far •s possible, with Italian teachers here in their native laud, and go a^rgad as foreign artists visit us, nevf-r reniui- ig a sufficient length of time
