Chloral is nota safe drug. Sooner or later chloral will be used in a case of fatty degeneration of the heart, and the patient may be kiiled with perhaps a dose of only ten grains.

There is a safe derivative of chloral, however—chloralamide. The introduction of the amide radical neutralizes to a con- siderable extent the depressing action cn the heart. It is fairly insoluble, and is therefore more prolonged in its action. Is

MARRIED MEN LIVE LONG.

Interesting Statistics Compiled by a Noted German Scientist,

Persons who desire to live to a good old age will do well to take a lesson from an interesting work on the subject which has been issued by Dr. Schwartz of Berlin. The doctor has given study of longevity, and the conclusions at which he has arrived are based on statis- tics which seem in all respects reliable.

He begins with the bold statement that any one who desires to live for fourscorg and ten years should get married. In oth- er words, he claims that conjugal life isa necessary condition of longevity. Here are the statistics which support this state- ment: Of 200 persons who had reached the age of 40 years the doctor found that 125 were marriod and 75 unmarried. Of 70 men who bad reached the age of 60 years he found that 48 were married and only 22 unmarried.

He next took 38 men, each of whom was in his seventieth year, and he found that 27 were married and 11 unmarried. Finally he took 12 men, each aged 90 years, and found that 9 were married and tunmarried. It may be claimed that no sure conclusion can be drawn from statis- Jes of this nature, for the reason that the marriage is spread all over natural to tind married. Dr

institution of the world, and hence it is the majority of persons Schwartz in reply again brings forward some curious statistics. These statistics mortality among bachelors between the ages of 80 and 45 is as bigh as 27 per cent, whereas among those who are married it does not exceed L8 per cent.

“It is evident,’’ a French writer, who has closely studied Dr. Schwartz's statistics, ‘that we must acknowledge the potency of theso figures, and that, if we desire to live to a good old age we should get marricd assoon as possible. We should certainly do so if we wish to live a full e«entury, for Dr. Schwartz cites the cases of 50 centenarians, not one of whom isa A curious fact, tuo, is that these

A Clever Ruse.

“Faithful Rooney,’’ the servant of Mr. McDonogh, the eminent Dublin barrister | who died some time ago, was almost as well known as his master.

During the long vacation Mr. McDon- ogh, who was a great dandy and very vain of his personal appearance, prome-

HER BABY TOOTH. At Least He Thinks It Is Hers and That Is Sufficient.

A St. Lovis girl, who lives on Delmar, not too far away from Urapnd avenue, brought with her from Canada a fad which holds sway among the gilded youth of Montreal. There ail the beaux wear their sweethearts’ baby teeth on their watch chains. It is a tender tribute to a lovely and beloved girl, and the St. Louis maiden thought she would delight her own admir- er with a token at once so unique and in- timate. When sheasked her mammaif she had saved one of her baby teeth, that good lady informed her that she had not. Baby teeth in those days, after having been jerked out of the mouth with astring tied to a doorknob, were not worth much, and after the youngster who was relieved of it got through playing with it it usually found its way into the fire with the sweep- ings or into the ash box by way of the dustpan.

But a tooth—a sweet little baby tooth— this young girl must have, and she con- fided her secret to her dentist. Could he provide her with one? Yes. Why net? If she would come the next day, he would have a little pearly tooth reads for her.

The tooth was obtained and the maiden carried it down to the jeweler to nave it mounted in fine gold filigree in the shape of a breloque to dangle from a watch chain.

The young man is wearing it now with the pride and devotion born of a loving heart. He has told the donor that every night before he lays his watch on the bu- reau he kisses the little tooth with which his beloved had done her first biting. And she—beware of her—has no compunction about the fond deception, but rather glories in it, and tells her girl friends how fond dear Charley is of her tiny baby tooth. St. Louis Republic.

“The Heathen Chinee Is Fecuiiar.”

Gee Joe speaks some English, and his remarks are always accompanied by a bland, childlike smile such as Bret Harte mentions in his poem about Chinese free labor.

One day the Chinaman was talking about religion. ‘‘ Are you a Christian, Gee Joe?’ asked a lady curiously.

*‘Oh, yes. I go churchee. I one very good man. I real Melican man.’’

‘*‘And where do you go?’’ asked the lady, who was charmed to find that the influ- ences of religion and civilizaticn had con- verted the heathen.

“Oh,” remarked Joe. “I go Warren Memorial churchee now. I Presbyterian, but when I was in other town I Baptis’. I go churchee where do me most good. Go Joe real Melican man.”’

And the airy manner in which he dis- coursed of the practical side of his reli- gion, which was evidently for revenue only, cast a pall over the good woman, and she now questions whether it pays to convert such heathen or not.—Louisville Times.

Poor Rooney at length grew tired of the promenading and taxed his wits to geta holiday. Oppor- tunity ere long arose. His master inquired what the people said of him—were they not struck by bis distingue appearance, etce.? Rooney hesitated a moment and thea replied:

‘*Your honor might be vexed if I tould.”’

“Not at all. lcommand you to tell me,” said the lordly Frank.

‘‘Well, sir,’’ said Rooney, with pretend- ed diffidence, ‘‘when they see me follow- ing your honor, they say that you area lunatic and that I’m your keeper.’’

**Rooney,’’ said Mr. McDonogh in aw- ful accents, **l must go without you in future. ’’—Nuggets.

A Social Affair.

“I'm going out tea little social affais this evening, my dear. It’s just for men.”

**Will it be a glove affair, my love?’’

He started suddenly and looked at her suspiciously. Then he comprehended that she couldn’t really know.

**Yes,’’ he said, ‘1 believe so.””—Cleve- land Plain Dealer.
