The iniquitous "nickel-in the slot" machines must go. The police themselves have said it, be it greatly to their credit, and go they must. They aie a terrible evil they break up families, ruin homes, make wives wear shabby dresses, and compel children to go barefooted and hungry, and ar» a constant menace to the peace and happiness and welfare of the community. In their persistent oflort to promote pul^c virtue, and comnel citizens generally to live up to all the laws, the police have put on a bold, uncompromising, will-die-in-the-lastditch front on them and are after the "slot machine?." It is a good light for the police to make in the interest of public morality, and It is also a safe one. The "slot" machines have no votes, no political influence, and they can't talk back.

Tht potable feature of the new cafe is going to be elaborate, and it is said the wines run as high in price as thirteen dollars a pint.

The richest actor in the world is M. Coquelin, whose fortune is estimated at .£'200 000. Next to him, in point of wealth, Is probably Mr. Henry Irving. Of actresses, Mint), Sarah Bernhardt has Indubitably made the most money, and —spent the most.

OPE SICK BAB.

You can't be cheerful and haye the chills—they qjre hot compatible. They seem to Jcnocfe the cheerfulness even out^of one's visitors. People come in with every determlnatioA-to make you feel hajkpier, and then immediately contrast the pillow' and your face," 'and, looking at yoUj say: V'MY QOOITNESS, HOW WHITE Y9U AFTKL" This is such an irritating fact that you open your eyes a*»-wiJe as you can, stare at your so-called friend, and if you have strength enougV, ask if she expected to1 find y.ou black. 'She looks at you sor rowfully, concludes that you are near death, that this isA form of rpania, and from that .time o'n she speaks in a low voice, as if there were a corpse in^e rpojft. She tells you. of-all the people she has ever kuQwu who died young of bo\v the chills invariably runduto something else .of the folly of having the sort of doctor xou do, and she^ends „up by kissing you good-bye, and saying in a perfectly doleful ton'e that j»he hopes she will have another opportunity to speak to you. Now, will you please tell me why that sort, of a woman is allowed tp comedo, see anybody who is not quite well? Any jury would'prt claim tin invalid not guilty if she shot a woman like that. Her only safeguard as far ad I am concerned, has been, that, first, I did not have a pistol second, I would not know how to use one if I did have it, and thirdly, that I arp. hoping that I may revenge myself in & different way: i. e., when she is sick I will go and condole with her.

Next in beastiality to this woman is the one who comes in with the intention' of cheering you up. You have shaken with tho chills, you have burned with the fever, and-you are so weak that if the house caught on fire you would just lie still and be burned with the rest of the rubbish. But this Woman refuses to tecognize you ais an invalid She says She never saw you looking better in your life. She announces that you are getting fat, that you -have got a good color, and, in what she means to be a playful way she tells you that you are only lazy, not really sick, and that it is quite time you got up and-took a good, long walk. That is when you wish th*» fool-killer was around, and you'wonder what in the world you have been so ill for if you haven't something to show for it. You do not want'to be told that yrtu look like a ghost, neither do y.ou want people to say you are lazy, and ttmt is whajt the would-be cheerful visitor invariably does. ^COMMON SENSE 'IN SICK KOOMS '-I

The'fight kind*of a woman to lOlt you when ybu are ill is the one who lets thesubjeitof your illness entirely alone, unless she permits you to do a little moaning on youj- own pnvate account who tells you- wtiat Is going on the worlh who makes you understand that you are^misaed, who brings you cheery bookVj a flower, or something strange to eat.

Did you ever have the chills? Did you ever feel yourself as cold as a block of ice while every nerve in your body was dancing and your teeth were chattering and makiDg a noise decidedly suggestive of the bells on a fool's cap? Did you ever know what it was to have hot water bags put on you, to be muffled up in blankets, to have every fur cloak in the house piled on you and then to feel as if you were freezing? To follow this up, did yoy ever have the fever that comes after the chill, thai* tfurns your eyes and lips, that makes you feel as if you werfe having a foretaste of your future, and that causes you to wonder which, after all, is the worst—the chill tliat never gets warm or the fever that never gets cold. That is the- sort of thing'that I have bees undergoing. Of course, there have been .times in be tween when 'neither the cold nor the heat hav^ controlled me, and during that'time'I have been wondering what we are all made' for why people ever have to be sick, and to feel a$ if I would like to get down on my knees and thank the man who discovered quinine.

Ev.ery time hesaid that I con tradicted him and called them "legs" and then be would raise one hand in thfe air as if he thought 1 were out of my Kense^, give an apologetic cough, look at my -mother and say, "Don't mind her, madam, it's the result pf the fever." How do you suppose that mail ended? In the way I always, knew hegvould. He ran away with another man's wife."

TYPES OF DOCTORS.

..Another time I had a doctor who'said lie believed in the appreciation of pain ije thought it was good for women, and used to let me howl with the rheumatism, groan with pains in my lung, and b£ altogether miserable rather than give o|e an anaesthetic. Personally, I don't bMie've he knew anything at all about them. He "was very fond of saving that he was self educated'. At last the family tnet him in a body,, aud told him that I Would have, to have one quiet night—I got it, but it seemed likely at one time tcj have been a night that.would have lasted forever, for he gave me an overdose of laudanum, and if it had not been for the energy of the family in b&nging me around and pouring hot co^e down me, I should not "be telling my experience, but should be counted among tlie people who' are entirely for gotten.| %V

A good "doctor Is a "great blessing, anil whe'ri.t say a good* doctor I mean a man who, when.he comes in, makes you con£cioue of "the fact that lie is master of t.be~RitUatibn, that be is going to make you better that heis strong add healthy himself, and that be knows and fully 'Understands every little ache and pain that you have got, and that because he is a mau he knows how perfectly pitiful, it .is, physically, to j^e. a weaji v^oman that, while he is sorxgyic^: y?u, he is going to cheer you i^\ and give you something to make ^o^u. feeV better.

THE PHYSICAL SIDE OF WOMAN, And tbey know, just how close it is to tbe^mental.side, and. they can read her like the two-volume book that she is. '^.nd-.so Jliey can draw ,true pictures of her. You don't know who the doctor novelists are? Well, first of all, there was Balzac then there was Charles Reade. Nowadays, there is Zela, Daudet, who, if he did not practice, at least studied. Then there is 'Conan Doyle. Then there were the FlaubeVts and the twp De Goncourts, and De Maupassant. Tbey are all tb^t I remember now, but I am sure there were a great many others. But the great novelist of all time Balzic, is probably the greatest proof of the value of understanding wbrnan physically before an attempt is knade to write of her mentally and spiritually.

Talking about myself? Well, I have done a good bit of that in this babble. |tut you see I can't help it. If you bad shaken with me and burned with me and drank koumiss with me and taken quinine with me, you would feel just as I do. You would believe as all invalids do, that people are interested in their Woes. They are sellUb, thinking that She only- thing in life worth talking About is themselves, their ailments, their doctors and their miseries. -Mis eeies of mind, you know, because

Suicide statistics covering a period of twenty-fiv^ years in New York show, among other things, that the Irish and negroes are not given to self-destruction. The Germans show a much larger percentage of suicides than either of the races above mentioned.

In certain years during the last quarter of the century the coldest month has been the mo.st productive of self-destruction.
