tniny years ago. There were at the
date of the last official computation
28,000 physicians and surgeons in the

the census of ten years ago, and if the
estimate of the number of physicians

of physicians and surgeons to the

any other country. These figures seem

that has drifted to the surface.
Mrs. John Wood appeared with the

for. several seasons. On one occasion,
while the company was playing at
Birmingham, Mrs. Wood met Cothem

He went up to the counter and said
"I wnnt Macaulay's History of Eng

"Well, I'm not particular," said Both
ern. pretending to be deaf. "I don't
care whether It l bound In calf or

"But this Is not a bookseller's,

expression of Sothern's face and the
mad, puzzled look of the shopkeeper's
assistant.
"Do It up as If it were for your own
mother. I don't want anything better
than that, said Sothern. 'I would like
to write my name on the fly leaf.
"Sir," bawled the assistant at the top
of hln voice, "we do not keep books!"
"Very well," said the actor, quite un

Under the Impression that his cus

be off his head." Whereupon the prin.

was standing and asked very loudly:
"What Is It sir? What do you desire?"

a withering look at his assistant, and
at once produced the article, which had
been asked for.
MONARCH IN CAPTIVITY. .
Some Interesting details In regard to
the present condition of Samory, the
dethroned African monarch, have Just
been received by the French minister
of the colonies. Samory Is now
at Kayes, where he occupies a camp
which Is guarded by a company of sol
diers. He has fifteen wives with him,
and slvteen of his children and several
servants. He spends his time In read
ing the Koran and smoking cigarettes.
To outward seeming Samory Is calm
and contented, but at heart he Is quit
the reverse. He cannot rid himself of
the Idea that he will be murdered some
day, and whenever one of his guards
happens to fire a shot he Is confident
that his Inst hour hiis come. He brood
ed so much over his coming doom that
he quite lost his Benses recently, and
made a determined but futile effort to
commit suicide.
Samory still retains with him a few
pieces of his barbaric furniture, but all
his gold and silver treasure, which
mainly consists of gold rings and silver
plates, has been confiscated by the
French government and Is to be sold.
Ills silver cuirass, however, a massive
and unique work of art, will be plnced
In the war museum at Paris. Sam
ory, It is said, has grieved much ovei
the loss of these treasures, and It li
considered doubhtful whether his cap
"Ever hear of the astronomer who
spent sixteen years trying to observe
a total eclipse of the sun?" asked the
ompanlon of the fisherman. "No?
Well, It was something like this. I
believe the place to which the unfortu
nate man went was the Isle of France.
He had made the moet careful prepa
ration and was bound up In his work.
Finally the hour came. .The day was
perfectly clear and all was In readi
ness for the eclipse, but Just as the
moment of totality was approaching
a cloud appeared and concealed the
sun. The astronomer was In despair.
He knew be could not afford to repeat
the visit If he returned home, so he de
cided to remain on the spot for eight
years or until a total eclipse occurred
again. I say eight with a reserva
tion; I am not an astronomer, and It
may have been eighteen years. Well,
again the eventful hour finally ap
proached. Not a cloud was In the sky
and all nature seemed Bmlllng; but
Just aa the great act was about to
occur a sudden squall came up and
the heavens were clouded. The man
who had waited eight years gathered
up his Instruments and returned to his
home to find that the government for
some reason had seized what little
property he had left.
"That Is a pathetic tale," said the
fishermun, making a long cast with a
shining anchovy, "but It Is nothing to
my efforts to take an opuh. An opah
you must know, is one or the most
beautiful of all fishes, a rare and radi
ant creature; hence Its Greek name,
impros. I first saw It In England,
und I spent several weeks trying to
take one along the Falmouth coast,
but neer even heard of an opah, and
the fishermen told me that one was
taken only about once In eight years.
Mark the resemblance to the pitiful
tale of the astronomer!" and, lifting
his rod, the fisherman hooked a chan
nel bass. The gamy fish made a rush.
straight away, heading for Lisbon as
nearly as could be Judged, then, stop
ped by the leather brake, It came In
like a fox doubling on Its own scent,
stopped and, plunging down, took the
fisherman unawares and broke the
ne.
"I next heard of the opah In Italy,"
continued the angler, as he ganged on
a fresh hook, "and here I was told that
one was caught about once In ten
years, yet I went fishing In every boat
I could find. I was traveling around
the world, and one day when I strolled
Into the fish market in San Francisco,
will you believe me? there, swinging
by its tall, ablaze with color, was a
gigantic opah, the fish of my dreams,
nearly four feet long and almost aa
high. It was a sunburst, a rainbow,
and the fish dealer said that It was
the first one that had been taken In
eight vears not the period. Some one
has described the fish as 'a rich brocade
of silver and lilac; rosy on the belly:
everywhere with silvery spots; head
and back with ultramarine tines; Jaws
and fins vermlHIon.' The fish was
caught In Monterey Bay, and as I
was more determined than ever to take
an opah, I went to Monterey a few
lays later. Here I fished in small
bouts, trolled in the picturesque la-
een rigged crafts of the Italians ln-

From Deep Down In the Earth.
The arlrval at the fish commission
of two living specimens of the Typh
lomolge Rathbunl has excited much In
terest These animals came from, an
artesian well dug by the United States
fish commission to supply water to
the fish hatchery near San Marcos,
Tex., and are among the most Interest
ing of subterranean organisms.
The well was bored to a depth of
about 1,500 feet, but was afterward fill
ed up, until It Is now only 188 feet deep.
A flow of 1,200 gallons of water a min
ute Is obtained, and with the water
four varieties of Crustacea and this
salamnder have come to the surface,
all of which are new to science. As
might be expected, these animals are
blind, and the name given to the sala
mander Is due to this fact, being com
pounded by the Greek typhloe, blind
and molge, a kind of salamander. Th
second term is In honor of Prof. Rich
ard Rathbun of the Smithsonian Insti
tution. The larger of the two living speci
mens is about four and a half Inches In
length. It has a large head prolong
ed forward Into a flattened snout In
which is the mouth. The eyes are cov
ered by the skin and appear merely as
small black specks. The body Is slen
der and ends in a tail, flattened from
side to side and used In swimming.
Projecting from the body are two pairs
of legs, the forward pair ending In
four toes, and the rear pair bearing
five toes, as Is customary among sala
manders. These legs are used in walk
ing, and, though very slender, seem
to possess much strength, as they lift
the body clear of the ground, and by
them it can climb over the rocks piled
In the aquarium.
The gills are outside of the body and
are Just behind the head, where they
stand out after the fashion of an Ellza
bethon ruff. These gills are a vivid
red from the contained blood, and
make a sharp contrast to the dingy
white of the spin. The animals aften
crawl out of the water on the rock
heap In the aquarium, and the gills
fall In festoons about their necks.
The general structure is of a larval
type, that Is, resembling the unde
veloped salamanders of today and the
fossils of those of bygone ages. It is
well known that fish and other In
habitants of subterranean waters are
descended from corresponding types
found at the surface In the vicinity, but
the typhlomolge suggesta many prob
lems. As It presents a primitive type,
It may be an Instance of arrested evo
lution or of reversion. When the an
cestors of these specimens became en-
galfed in the earth, It Is probable that
the form now presented was the nor
mal one and that, In the absence of
light and the presence of other ob
stacles to animal life, evolution be
came Impossible and the type became
fixed. On the other hand, this larval
form may be the result of degeneration.
Dr. L. Stejneger of the Smithsonian
Institution has published a brief de
scription of these interesting animals
arid it Is to be hoped that more elabor
ate study may be given them.

the Tugela river to the Zululand tide.
After luncheon Colonel Montgomery
and hit adjutant (Captain Reid) went
out to shot quail. When they were
some distance from the camp they dis
mounted and threw the saddles over
the ponies' heads, as is the custom in
South Africa, and then went into some

iould devise was done for him, but
nothing was of any avail. Just ten
liours after the accident he was dead,

Grant's Advice to Twins.
General Grant's fondness for chil
dren Is Illustrated In the following true
story, which has never been published
before. It is an experience which
twins had with the great union soldier
at the close of his second presidential
term.
General Grant was stopping at the
famous old hotel at Cape May, known
as Congress Hall, which was burned in
the disastrous fire of the fall of 1S78,
when many of the landmarks of the re
sort were swept away.
One Sunday afternoon during Gen
eral Grant's sojourn he was walking in
front of the rotunda with the proprie
tor. Colonel J. F Cake, who at that
time also conducted a well known hos
telry in Washington. Colonel Cake es
pled coming down the Btreet one of his
frlendB. a father with his two sons,
who were the twins.
"General here come two youngsters
twins," said Colonel Cake; "I be
lleve that you will be unable to tell one
from the other."
"We will see." was the distinguished
general's reply. "Call them over.
The father and his two sons crossed
the street to the pavement in front
I of the hotel rotunda. The general shook
hands with the father and the twe
boys the latter being shy and awed at
the sight of the great man before them.
General Grant looked at the lads,
rubbed his eyes as if to increase the
powers of his vision, and finally, after
a searching examination, exclaimed,
laughingly:
"I can see no difference. You have
won, Colonel."
Kach of the boys had a book undet
his arm, for they had been to Sunday
school.
The general was In a playful humor.
Ho took the book from one of the ladi
and, opening, It said:
"Try to rend It upside down."
The boy' bashfully made the attempt,
but It was too much of a task.
"I cannot read It that way," replied
the boy, "but I will the other way."
The twin then rend a sentence wltt
