gRAVING FOR  HOSPITAL
People Who  . lyp Jl.p Life pf ft   r^tlenf
from Habit.
"The hospital habit is a most $$-
asperating thing," said a trained nurse
to a New Orleans Times-Democrat
man. "Cases of it are frequently encountered at the Charity hospital antt
in every other big establishment of. the
kind in the country. The life of a pa-
t.$g£ ggems Jo fascinate certain people
and thesr aj*g ujjfiq.gjjy outside of an institution. They spehd'th-ii. entire existence drifting from one hospital to
another, staying as long as possible
at each and only leaving when they are
literally driven away. If they had an
easy time of it inside the walls the
habit could be readily explained, but
they don't. The surgeons have a natural aversion to 'hospital hummers,'
. § 9>ef gpg f. FHjed; and take pains to
make it Jipfc ^pv"t}ieffl; . _e cgnflrmed
hummer is necessarily an expei-t ajt
simulating disease and he generally
pretends to have some obscure nervous
malady that would be difficult to
diagnose. The house surgeon may he
morally certain he is a fraud and yet
find the fact very difficult to absolutely establish. I have known chronic
habitues to submit to treatment that
paused them agonizing pain and stand
it toe da'yg *£.). g. fjnie. One man that I
call to mind was blistered with caj.
tharides at a hospital in a neighboring
city for fake case of hip disease. He
was one solid blister from hip to knee,
but he stayed right there and asked
for more. Men of that type will stand
emetics or electric batteries or any of
the other things usually employed
without a murmur. What satisfaction
there can be in such a life I can't imagine, but they are as hard to get rid
of as. mosquitoes in the dog days.

ten years in different institutions an$
he owned up to me on one occasion
that he was never really sick a day
in his life. He had been a sailor, drifted into the Baltimore city hospital
years ago and got the habit. He knew
the routine of such places thoroughly
and finally became so useful that he
was .rather liked. He died last year,
and, strange to say, died in a lodging
house." ._.

How The War Between Two Christian Peoples Is Now Being Fought.
We find the following \r, Boston Herald and Boston Journal of peeembeu
10th, and presume it is also in otjier
Boston dailies:
After the battle of Elandslaagte, after the British .infantry bad carried the
Boer positions, the cavalry_reserv _ pursued the fugitives, using the long
lance, or spear, with fearful effect.
An -Bicer writes in a. letter published in tbe London Times, as follows:
''After the enemy were driven out
one of our squadrons pursued and got
right in among them in the twilight,
and excellent pig-sticking ensued for
about ten minutes, the bag being
about sixty. One of our men stuck his
lance through two, killing both at one
thrust. Had it not been getting dark
we should have killed many more."
A dragoon corporal told a Chronicle
correspondent: "Tho Boet_ fell oil
their horses and rolled among the
rocks, hiding their heads with their
arms, calling for mercy, calling to be
shot—anything to escape a stab from
those terrible lances through their
backs and bowels. But not many escaped. We just gave them a good dig
as they lay. Next day most of the
lances jygre bloody."'
Another lanG3i* trooper .rites of t^e
same incident: "We got a charge at
them. They threw up their arms and
fell on their knees for mercy, but we
were told not to give them any, anl [
can assure you they got noue. We
went along sticking our lances through
them. It was a terrible thing "—Out-

Postmaster Mills informs us that it
costs Uncle Sam 40 cents to send a letter for any of his nephews from Tampa, Fla., to Alaska; and yet the generous old fellow only charges . cents for
the work.^Stockbridge Sua. May we
ask Uncle Sam. when he gets any profit
from such a deal, and can we but expect other than high taxation and "infernal" revenue demands.
A curious story in connection with
the present conflict in the Philippines
has come to light. A Creek Indian
from the Indian Territory, who was a
member of the Rough Riders, re-enlisted in the regular army at tlje close of
the Spanish war, and was sent to the
Philippine Islands, While campaigning with his regiment in the southern
part of the archipelago he found a
tribe of Malays whose dialects was almost the same as the aboriginal language of the Creek nation. He could
understand them.and they could understand him without difficulty, and he
was able to act as interpreter fop his
officers with a tribe he had never
heard of before. It looks as though
the noble red man has relatives in the
far east—Plymouth Mail.
Stood Death Off.
E. B. Munday, a lawyer of Henrietta,
Tex., once fooled a grave-digger. He
says: "My brother was very low with
malarial fever and jaundice. I persuaded him to try Electric Bitters, and
he was soon much belter, but continued
their use until he was wholly cured.
I am sure Electric Bitters saved his
life." ' his remedy expels malaria,
kills disease germs aud purifies the
blood; aids digestion, regulates liver*
