The English, says the London Hos pital, are always boasting that they are a cleanly people, and undoubtedly an upper-class Englishman docs spend an inordinate amount of time In cleansing himself. As Punch, has it, "'e's orful proud of 'is flesh 'e is." But tho average Englishmnn with bi3 woolen shirts, which are only washed in tepid water, his cloth clothes, which aro never washed at all; his carpets, which retain thc dust of years, his stuffy woolen covered furniture which lasts for generations, and hi3 beds, which are hardly ever unpicked or stored, Is by no means the cleanly animal he thinks himself. Still, even these things would not be so bad if John Bull would but insuro a free current of air through his living rooms. But that is just what Mrs. John -Bull will by no means allow. Fresh air is "smutty" and night air . _??. shut. Yet all through the winter there are almost dying people, lying out on tho verandas of hospitals and sanatoriums along the Thames and near thc Hampstead marshes. Nev ertheless, the unhealthy, fog-laden, miasmatic air actually cures many of them. The truly unhealthy air is thc "stuffy" air. HIS ANCESTOR.

It is true that ^OW the captain has just re turned from duty in the Philippines, that ho bears a cruel s:ar between his eyes, and that I woulJ unhesitatingly take his word for any amount you cave to name; still-well, the captain can speak for himself. ? .* * * ? * * "Our surprise was complete, anil vre emptied our suns futilely. Then "the company scapegrace,' with a shout of warning, sprang suddenly in frout of me, just in time to get a spear through his throat ami plunge limply down with a choking cough. I blew in the face of his slayer with tho last shot in my re [ volver, jammed its muzzle hard into I the stomach of another little brown man who was slashing around reckless ly with a bolo several sizes too big for him, got a tremendous smash across the eyes here, and everything went block. "The next I knew I found myself lying on n cot iu a dark room with a bandage bound around my head, and a headache that was tho father of all headaches. I struggled up into a sit ting position, with my elbows ou my knees and my chin in my hands and studied thc matter out. As nearly as I could figure it out, we had either beat en off the treacherous Filipinos who had so cleverly ambushed my scouting party, or we hadn't. If the first were true, I was probably safe in a hospital, and if the second, I was a prisoner, with a very unpleasant future before me. I couldn't very well decide which, under the circumstances, without out side information, so I shouted at the top of my voice, 'Hello! Hello there:' determined to end ibo suspense at once. "I heard the door open, and, turning In the direction of the sound I saw and I gripped the sides of my cot hard with both bauds at thc surprise and horror of it-I saw stalk into^jjj^j^oni Ifl.'jfamaii skeleton. 'I^?Twas all, just a stark and-hideous human skeleton, surmounted by a grinning skull. "There is nothing particularly delect able to thf average man about a skele ton at any time, but when one, and not a particularly well made one at that, saunters carelessly up to your bedside, grabs your pulse in his fingers, and asks, in the familiar tones of the sur geon you've been comrade with for sev eral years, 'What are you making such a row about, old chap:' lt is apt to produce, in the ordinary invalid, a va riety of sensations more or less confus ing. "'What's happened? Where am I? What is it? What are you? What's the matter?' I gasped rapidly. " 'Oh, you're all right now, old chap,' the doctor's voice assured mc, while the skull grinned more affably than ever upon me. 'You got a little swipe across the eyes from some murderous minded Filipino's club, and it's laid yoti up here in the hospital talking lunacy for a few days, that's all.' " 'Exactly,' 1 muttered, scanning his skeleton intently. 'That is all.' " 'Funny thing.' went on the doctor's voice placidly. 'You've been seeing all kinds of skeletons, and I don't know what all. According to you this is about the finest anatomical museum outside a duly licensed, charnel house ever incorporated. You surely have had a surfeit of bones, but I kuew you'd wake up this time all straight.' " 'But, see here, doctor, if this thing that's gassing away is you,' I protested earnestly, 'that's all I can see of you now.' "Whew!' whispered the skeleton to itself. 'Crazy as ever. Where's the morphlue?' "'Nonsense,' I cried hotly. 'I'm as sane as you are. Saner, I reckon, be cause I don't dream everybody i's crazy except myself. But I tell you, on my word, that all I see of you is your skel eton; and what's more, I'll prove it. See here, you've had three ribs on tho right side broken some time or other.' " 'Yes, football, but how the deuce did you know it? I never told you, I'm sur*?,' replied the skeleton thoughtfully. " T tell you I can see your bones,' I nsservated excitedly. 'And what's worse, it is all I can see of you. j'ou lantein-jawod. lop-sldcd. toggle-jointed, poorly articulated, miserable specimen of a human frame, you.' " 'With a bandage over your eyes, too,' sneered the doctor. I suppose my minute appraisement of .his only skele ton nettled him iuto overlooking for the minute the utter preposterousness of my claim. 'And it's ns good as yours, anyway.' " T don't care if I have a million bandages on,' I insisted. 'Bandage or no bandage, I swear I can see your skeleton, or somebody's skeleton, stand ing by tire bed. I could see it the min ute you opened the door and let in some light, and that's nil I can see of you except - yes, a ring is dangling from your little finger, some coins are suspended some way against your left leg, and a bunch of keys and a knife on the right. I suppose they're in your trousers pockets. Now, what's tho mat ter with me, doctor? Here, take this cussed bandage off and let more light into thc room. Let's get at thc bottom of this.' "Only partly persuaded that he did not have a dangerous maniac op his hands the doctor reluctantly did as I asked, and I was promptly'startled half out of what wits I had left. "I seemed to be floating in space. I could see willi perfect ease into the rooms above, below and around tho ono I was in.

After u little, however, as I became more accustomed to my strange afflic tion, I found I could distinguish thc outlines of objects more or less distinct ly according to the material out of which they were made, but only metal lic objects were very plain. As for the doctor, in the stronger light I could dimly make out a sort of transparent gelatinous covering to lils skeleton, but not well enough to tell one feature; from another. The people in the other rooms, those passing in the street, even tho animals which went by, were all skeletons to me, and skeletons only, Neither could I distinguish colors; the Avorld was all black, or rather drab, and white to mc. "It was days before I could really convince the doctor that this was so, days filled with every conceivable test his ingenuity could devise, days when' first I fretted and chafed continually about my condition, days passed in. longing for the blessed night to come and shut out In Its friendly darkness all the gruesome sights which torment ed mc from my eyes, but as the time dragged on I became more and moro reconciled, as I grew more accustomed to the society of a skeleton-filled world. And then came a day when a great happiness was mine. "'Well, old chap,' said tho doctor, throwing himself disgustedly into a chair at last, 'I must believe you; it's beyond any iran's comprehension, but I must believe you. It's unnatural and unscientific and absolutely idiotic, but the only guess I can make at an expla nation is that that swipe you got across your eyes has in some mysterious way altered the retina or optic nerve so that they, or one of them, is sensitive to what are known as tho X' rnjrs, to the exclusion of the ordinary rays. We know next to nothing about these X rays, but all the tests I've been able to make seem- to support this theory. You had better yet leave and pull out j^P-fi?T^iMos as solm~~alryW'T?iS??,. aujd consult a specialist. I can't help youl any. and it must be a dreadful condl-j. tion to bo in.' \ *1 " 'Oh, it's not so had, after all,'f re plied reassuringly. 'You see, while you've been testing and tinkering around learning to believe what was perfectly true all the time, I've been getting used to things as they are, and there arc some consolations I find. I can feel, and taste, and hear, and sundi just as well as ever. My eye sight is (lie only thing abnormal about j nie, and I've got used to skeletons by now. They're not nearly as repulsive as you might suppose; quite the con trary in some cases. I've learned to toll you and all the rest of thc fellows who drop lu herc apart by your bones; they're quite as individual as your laces and a lot handsomer sometimes, and I've learned to move atound with out falling over things with a little caro, and-and, ns I was saying, some skeletons have beauties of their own. For instance, there's a dainty little ono comes in herc every day to straighten up the room that's-that's just delicious. I believe I'm head over heels in love with lt, though I've never spoken a word to it. So that I don't know that I'm so awfully keen to he cured, after all.' '"'What?' yelled thc doctor, begin ning- to grin. "T mean every word of.it,'.I said, doggedly. 'Oh, doctor, you can't real ize what a lovel}-, enchanting, tantaliz ing little skeleton it is. All thc bones are simplj' ravishing hi their perfec-j tien, and every joint works with a smoothness and ease that are really a poem. Why, compared with the great coarse, clumsy bones you fellows clump around with, all lumps and twists and gnarls of cartilage, hers, for it surely is a woman, arc like the most delicate carving, an exquisite etching, or the filmiest cobweb ossified. If only you could sec it, doctor, could only tee the gentle sweep of the collar bone, the sweet curve of the ribs, the tender lines of the arm bones, the deli cate tracery of the leg bones, you wouldn't sit theve grinning like a Cheshire cat. I've lain.here day after day and watched that luscious little skeleton move about the room with such grace, so perfect in form, so rav ishingly beautiful in its matchless sym metry, until I know those fragile little finger bones have stolen 'into my breast and arc forever clinched around my heart. Who is she, doctor? Tell me!' "The doctor burst Into a great guffaw of hoarse laughter, rocking himself back and forth where he sal. " 'Tell mc who she is, doctor; tell ute | who she is, for the love of Ilea ven!' I j implored. "Again the doctor roared with laugh ter. "My temper never Avas of the most patient, and being treated in such an important matter with such Ul-tlmcd levity made lt boil. " 'There's nothing to laugh nt, you hee-hawing ass,' I growled. 'If you could only see those delightful bones, if you could only realize that adorable skull, If you could for a minute Imagine sucli a bugga ble, kissnblc, caressable little skeleton you wouldn't roll around there spluttering and spitting like a gibbering ape.' "Again the doctor shouted with laughter, and my temper gave way en tirely. " 'Stop it, you grinning baboon!' I shouted, springing on him, and winding my fingers about his throat with all my fury in my grip. 'Stop lt, I say!

"When I unclosed my eyes a little later I found the doctor bending ten derly over me. 'Sorry, old chap, awful sorry,' he said, regretfully, 'but you bad me nearly at the Inst gasp. What on earth was thc matter with you, any way?' "'What's the matter with mo now?' I cried, staring wildly into his face. 'I can see you. doctor, you yourself. I don't sec a bone. I can see ever} thing nil right, even the red on your nose.' "'You can!' exclaimed the doctor. 'Are you sure you can? Hooray! Hoo ray!' he went on, ns I nodded my head positively. 'You're cured, I hope. It must have been the shock of my blow. You've heard of such things, two shocks balancing each other, one cre ating an abnormal stale of things, and -the other restoring thc normal, haven't you?' "As I was still trying to realize that indeed I had returned to a world of form and color there came film ming into the room the most withered, mon key-like, hideous old Filipino bag a man over shuddered at. " 'Great Scott, doctor, what's that!' I gasped, glaring at tho old witch, fasci nated by her unspeakable ugliness. " 'That?' chuckled the doctor. 'Why. til a t's your most adorable bag of bones, thc one you're crazy in love with.' "And I actually felt a pang at my loss."-New York Times. MUSIC HYPNOTIZES HIM. Old TVnltor Props Everytlilnc; When Or clicgtra Plays Certain March. In a certain fashionable restaurant the other night thc orchestra struck up a certain popular march, and Instantly an aged colored walter nt tho other end of thc room "set down a tray of food that he bad been about to serve. "Ob, bully!" he murmured, and bc walked down to thc little group of mu sicians and took his station beside thc 'leader. There was a look of. delight In1 lils eyes. Ile'stood listening lu absorp tion to thc melody till it ended. Meanwhile the party that he was neglecting were criming this way and that, looking for him. "Where can thc old fellow be?" they said. "There, on his tray, is our soup, getting cold; but he has disappeared." He must be ill." : Just then they caught sight of the waltoiv Thc lively piece was nov,' over, and the aged serving man was patting the leader on the back, chuck ling and expressing his congratulations. When lie was through lie returned to his patrons, and with au apology for his delay, served the soup. The bend waiter a moment later stopped at the table. "I hope," he said, "that you will pardon that old man. He is a good walter, a faithful old soul, but he ls a slave to that ono piece ot music. Thc orchestra cannot strike it up but he drops everything, forgets ererytdlng, and gets right In among the music. There he stands until the piece is over, when, with a sigh, he comes to, thanks and congratulates the leader and resumes lils work. No other music affects him In the least.

Often at Intervals, curing that day, the dying boy asked after his dog. Along in thc afternon lie raised bk head, and in his delirium called tho dog, and instantly tho pointer waa at the window. For hours he had been walking, unobserved by the anxious watchers inside, up and down thc nar row veranda that ran along tho side of the boy's bedroom window. At thc sound of his master's voice ho stood up and beat the window with his front feet. At thc sight of him the boy seemed to forget his suffering, and, smiling, begged them to let the dog In. Baltyne-big, brave Baltyne, with' tears washing down Iiis wind-browned face-looked at the door and the doctor nodded. Then Baltyne opened thc door that led to thc. little veranda and the dog glided in. His whole frame quiv ered as he entered thc room, and as ho caught sight of tho boy be uttered a little teetering whine that grew until ho reached the bed. As the boy wound his arms around the dog's neck the whine swelled into a cry-not a bark nor a growl, nor yet a melancholy howl that a dog Avili do away in thc dark ?t sobbing cry, not uulike that which came from thc other side of the bod whore the boy's mother was kneeling Almost immediately the boy became calm and sank into a sort of stupor that was like sleep. When be had closed bis eyes Baltyne lifted tho old dog tenderly and put him outside thc room.

Somebody has defined a hypothetical question, a favorite legal device for confusing witnesses, as "two hundred words of technical dictionary tied up in a bow-knot." Others besides law yers can tie such knots, however. Sometimes a harassing cross-examiner finds himself entangled. A correspond _enL??Jhe New York World jsays that on a train from an Interior county se?t7 crowded with lawyers, witnesses, jur ors and litigants, a sedate looking man approached a young attorney from Syracuse. "I am one of the talesmen you pitched into pretty hard yesterday," the man said, as an introduction, "and I have been a little curious about you ever since." The passengers were all interested, and the sedate man continued: "You seem to be a person of supe rior intelligence, and there are one or two little rdatters I want to ask you about. Now, if I were to say to 3'ou that the three faces which include a triedal angle of a prism are equal in all their parts to the three faces which include a triedal angle of a second prism, each to each, and aro similarly placed In all their parts, what would you undertsand by it?" "Why, really, sir-um-er-" "Don't mean to tell me you're stumped by a little one like that? Well, never mind, here's something easier. If. I were to suggest to you that a certain object is a polyhedron ip which two of the faces are polygons, equal in all their parts and having their ho mologous sides parallel, what would be tho impression conveyed to your mind?" "Well, the subject-er-is-er-one I've never looked Into deeply!" gasped the young lawyer. "Mean to own up that you wouldn't know it was Just a plain everyday prism? I've got a boy who isn't through high school yet, and he could have answered thoso questions with out stopping,to think. I feel better now." WOMAN'S WAY. Mabel-Let me tie your necktie daddie. Daddie (who has been there before) -Certainly, my dear. What is it this time-a new hat or a motor-car? Pick-Me-TJp. Here was that high-bred assurance of self of those who have never known the shock of a cross word, and who are as free from a sense of bonds as any creature of philosophic anarchy. From "The Yellow Van" in the No vember Century. " I first used Ayer's Sarsaparilla in the fall of 1848. Since then I have taken lt every spring as a blood - purify in g and nerve strengthening medicine." S. T. Jones, Wichita, Kans.
