of tlie tcsso at. d ni u ble 11 or in the

Mrs. Diltl.orpe 1 oked at Doctor Dov

"Determined to die, is he?" said the

out Doctor Doviland. impetuously
"At least." as he marked tho effect his
unpsemeditat d words produced, "he
is a very opinionated i erson. 1M go
to him jitonce. '
And the d -ctor sprang up t-t-ir, two
teps at a lime, bic t! in ; v ry short
ainl fast, as his f.isai n was when much
exci ed.
The room was darkened; the lozenge-
shaped casements tightly closed. 2sot
a breath of sweet summer air stirred
the eau de cologne scented at mosphere
of the apartment: not a cheerful sound
broke the brooding silence; aud for a
minute or two Doctor Dovi'and's unac
customed eyes could scarcely penetrate
the artificial dusk suilicicutly to per
ceive a yellow, unshaven face lying
among a wilderness of rumed piliows.
and two restless hands moving over
the coverlid.
Well, Mr. Dilthorpe," said the phy
sician, cheerfully, "and how do you
find yourself this morning "
Very poorly very poorly indeed.
doctor," groaned tlie patient.
"Xobette -. eh?"
Doctor,'' sighed Mr. Dilthorpe, "1
daresay you mean well; but its mis
taken kindness on your part to delude
me with further hopes. I know alrea
dy that I cannot get well."
You are convinced of that?" said
tho doctor, thoughtfully, stroking his
chin, as he sat down man easy clum
lieside the bed.
"Entirely so. Doctor Doviland-"
The doctor was silent for some sec
onds, and then he suddenly burst out:
Dilthorpe, my good fellow, I'm glad
vou have discovered this sad state ol
thincs for yourself. It is one of the
most disjigreeal.de parts of our profes
sion to be compelled to tell people that
there is no hope for them."
Mr. Dilthorpe raised his head rather
apprehensively from the pillows.
"1'ou agree with me then, doctor, in
the diagnosis?" said he, faintly.
"I am compelled to do so," said Doc
tor Doviland, solemnly. Vou and
are both men of sense, Dilthorpe.
There is ne use in longer continuing
the farce of medicines, diet and pro
scriptions."
And with Ids cane, the doctor
whisked two or three vials off the
stand upon tho carpet as he spoke.
"I I ;nu not sure but that the tonic
might strengthen me a little," remon
strated the patient, wincing somewhat
at the clink and crash of breaking
glass.
"What is the uso of artificial stimu
lus?" brusquely demanded the dector.
'Xo, no, Dilthorpe; leave Nature to
herself. If you must die, you must
and all the drugs iu the phuraiacopia
will not postpone the fatal moment.
In the meanwhile, I will go aud break
the news to your poor wife widow,
may as well sjiy."
Ana wiinout waning tor luriiier ar
gument, Doctor Doviland hurried
away.
As he descended the stairs, Mrs. Dil
tliorpe glided out of the pretty little
blue and gold reception room on the
left, and stood confronting him.
Well, doctor, wh.it do you think?'r
&he eagerly questioned.
1 Uimk, luauam,' said the doctor,
balancing both thumbs in the arm-holes
of his vest, "that I shall let him die!"
"Doctorl"
"Decause," added the disciple of
Galen, with a sly tw inkle in his merry
blue eyes, "he is determined to die
whether or not, and a man jihvays lives
the longer for having his own way."
"I don't comprehend your meaning
at all, doctor," said Mrs. Dilthorpe,
with tears in her eyes and a piteous
quaver in her voice.
"Allow me to explain it to you, said
the doctor, taking her hand, and court
eously leading her back into the b'ue
and gold reception room; "and 1 be
lieve I CJin make you agree with me,
that he had better die and be done
with it."
Mr. Ebenezer Dilthorpe's mind grew
curiously morbid and disorted under
the action of ji disease that was more
mental than physical, lie lay among
bis piilows, not altogether ill-pleased
with the prtstiyt: that attended him asa
dying man, although, if he had thought
the catastrophe to bo iinnieiliately im
pending, he might have seen matters in
a different l:ght; and there were times
when he wished people wouldn't arree
so implicitly with hiiu when he san
dolorous changes on tho old strain:
"When I nm ifoue when I am goner
A little timely contradiction had been
fuel to tlie name; but it was all with
drawn. .Nobody dissented from him
now not even his w ife.
It was toward sunset, on the evening
of the third day from that on which
Doctor Doviland had acquiesced iu his
melancholy views, when he staited
f.om a brief doze. :it t he sound of voices
in an adjoining apartment.
'All to be left to the widow, eh?'
said a cheery accent. "Oh, Charley,
what :i lucky thing for you! You have
always loved her?"
Ut course 1 have: returned a voice
wliich Dilthorpe recognized as that of
his wife's cousin, Charles Castleton.
'Dilthorpe's a good fellow enough, and
I ha'2n't a word to say against him
personally; Lut he never was half good
enough for Agnes!"
A wealty widow!" musingly repeat
ed Lucy Castleton. "Why, Charley, it
would set you up in life."
"I shall propose Js soon a? the old
fellow is well under ground," said
C:ist!eton, gravely.
(Here Mr. Dilthorpe bounced in bed.
to make sure- that it was a llanuel
blanket over him, instead of sods and
bhu-k walnut.)
And," went n the h artless young
miscreant, "she'll have me. of course-
"Aggie alwaysliked you," interjected
Miss Lucy.
"The deuce she did!" muttered our
hero, giving another s, asmodic jerk.

the doomed sufferer, and Charles Cast

wiapped about nim, and singer flaming
in his eyes. "You may do as y u like
after I'm dead: but 1 am not dead yet!"
And wearied out T y perturbation of
mind, and the excitement of this uir
usual ellort, he dropped panting into a
cluiir, just as Doctor Doviland entered
ut an opposite door.
Hello!" cried the doctor, with along
whistle. "I thought you were dying:"
Lut I'm not dying!" said Mr. Dil
thorpe, wrathful!)-; "and I don t in
tend to die not just at present, at all
events!"
"Bravo!" cried the doctor. "I
wouldn't, if I were y-.t."
And Mr. Ebenezer Dilthorpe kept his
word. He got well at once; in fact.
Doctor Doviland gravely protested it
was the most wonderful and speedy re
covery he had ever "witnessed.
Do you know, doctor," said Mr. Dil
thorpe, the first day lie drove out with
his medical iittendant, "I begin to be
lieve that that 1 wasn't so very sick
after all?"
Have you just found it out?" said
the doctor. "Didn' 1 tell you so long

"Possibly," said Doctor Doviland-
"The mind sways the body powerfully.
But that scoundrel Castleton, ;is you
call him, was nothing more nor less
than a brisk dose of medicine, admin

,4Eh!'' cried Mr. Dilthorpe, pricking
up his ears. "Then he wasn't in love
with Agnes, after all?"
He :s to be married to a lovely
young Philadelphia heiress next week,''

I hoie you will not," said Doctor
Doviland, laughing.
Effect of Diet on Liquor Drinking.
New York 'Iraphic.
Charles Xapier. an English scientific
man, had been testing the truth of Lie
big's theory that liquor drinking is com
patible with animal food, but not with
farinaceous diet. The experiment was
tried upon twenty-seven liquor drink
ing persons, with results substantial
ing the Liebig theory. Among the
more striking instances of reform
brought about by a chancre of diet was
that of - ffPnliPman of sixtv. who had

eragingonce a week. His constitution
was so shattered that he had great dif
ficulty in insuring his life. After an
attack of delirium tremens, which near
ly ended fatJilly, he was persuaded to
enter upon a farinaceous diet, which
we are Jissured cured him completely
in seven months. He seemed to have
been very thin at the beginning of the
experiment, but at the close of the pe
riod named had gained twenty-eight
pounds, being then about the normal
weight for a person of his height.
mong the articles of food which are
specified by Xapier as re-eminent for
iintagonism to alcohol are marraconi
haricot beans, dried pe;i3, and lentils,
all of which should be well boiled and
flavored with plenty of butter or olive
oil. The various cardeu vegetables
ire said to be helpful, but a diet main
ljT composed of them would not resist
the tendency to intemperance so effec
tually as one of maccaroui and farina
ceous food. From this point of view,
high glutinous bread would be a great
utility, but it should not be sour, such
acidity being calculated to foster the
habit of alcoholic drinking. A like
remark may be applied to the use of
salted food. If we inquire the cause
of ;i vegetarian's alleged disinclination
to alcoholic liquors, we
find that the
carbonaceous starch contained in the
macaroni, beans, or oleaginous all
ment appe;trs to render unnecessary,
and therefore repulsive, carbon in an
Typographical Errors.
Florence Do Laigne, who recently
published some verses on "Autumn"
in these columns, writes to ask, "Who
is responsible for the typographical
errors in the Hawkey e?" Lean down
here I lorence, while we whisper in
your ear: " sh; nobody is. The ed
itor writes so plainly that even a blind
man can spell out his words; the com
positors are college men who have ed
ited papers of their ow n, and they set
up the matter exactly as it is written,
and correct what mistakes tho editor
makes; the proof-reader is a professor
of rhetoric and philology in an Iowa
college, and never made a mistake in
his life; and he corrects what few mis
takes the compositors may make; the
foreman is a Gottmgen graduate, who
has nothing to do but to seo tl:jt the
matter is perfect when the forms go
down. There isn't ;t mistake in the
Hawkey e w hen it reaches tlie press,
liut we'll tell you, jis a professional se
cret, Florence, how the mistakes creep
in. The pressman told the manager,
and tho manager told us; it's the irk,
i-lorence, its the ink. we pav out
thousands and thousands and thous
ands of dollars a year for good ink, and
we CJin t get an article that won t fair

ai eno,s- Turlington iiawiceye.
This reminds as of an old gentleman
who lost all his front teeth, and had
the lmbit of using long and unusual
w-ords in the wrong place. When re
monstrated with by a friend and told
that he did not know the meaning of
the words he used, he laid it all on his
teeth; asserting that if he only had his
teeth as he used to have he could use
the right words in the right places.

Something New -A Rare Opportunity.
Wo have lately had brought to our
notice a new kitchen utensil, the real
merit of which entitles it to something
more than the passing notice we can
give it. We allude to the Peerless
Flour and Meal Sifter, manufac-
ed by the Peerless Sifter Company, of
Cincinnati. A Combination Sifter,
Weigher, Measurer, Mixer, Rice Wjish-
er, l-lour scoop, loinato, Pumpkin,
1- ruit, V ine, Jelly and fetarck Strainer.
Twelve distinct articles combined in
one, and is sold at a price within the
reach of every family. To purchase
separate utensils for all of the above
purposes would cost more than ten
times the amount asked for the Peer
less Sifter.
Housekeepers will Jippreciate the
Peerless Sifter for the following rea
sons: It does away with the putting
01 ones nanus in u.e Hour, wnicn in
rapidly ; wiil
he common
be worked so easily aud 1
silt live times as last its tiie common
sieve, and much faster and better than
any other sifter ever introduced. It is
operated with a simple and easy lever
motion, and is acknowledged by every
one to be far preferable to tlie awk
ward and unhandy rotary motion in
sifters heretofore sold. It seems to U3
that it would be no trouble for an en
ergetic ladv or gentleman in this vi
cinity to sell a Peerless Sifter to go in
to every flour bairel in this county
we know of nothing that would pay
them anything like as well, and would
recommend them to drop a postal card
at once to the Peerless Sifter Com
pany, George and Elm Streets, Cin
cinnati, Ohio, for territory and de
scriptive circulars and terms, mention
ing our paper.

We are glad to welcome another bo"k
from tho able, graceful and fjisci ra
ting pen of this prince of writer) cf
Bible literature. To all Aho have ic
rued tlie poetic, glowing pages of
" Night Scenes in the Bible," the mere
announcement of a new work will bo
hailed with pleisure. Mingling with
fie wild scenes of Gideon's Night At
tack, and tlie sad vision granted to Xt -hemiah
f the desolation of Jerusalem
is a beautiful description of tlie mid
night sim oil the coast of Norway,
within twelve hundred miles of the
North Po!e. Tho night of Betrayal
wakens the deepest emotions of loving
hearts, and we shudder at the Dark
ness of Noonday, and weep at the grave
in tli dark shadows of night fcoliri:.'
with intense vividness tho events hii
marvelous skill has depicted. Tin:
book is precious to the believer and i:
literary excellence, rare word painting,
and poetic imagery make it a very de
lightful work for universal perusal.

Captain Ahrens, a neat, nice, littio
blonde of an ex-Prussian officer, bus;
known to fame as husband to Papp.n
heim, says the Memphis Avalanche,
caused ti laughable little error at tho
Peabody hotel one evening recently.
Going to the steward, tho captain said:
I want supper for twcndy-Scfui after
te obeera 'o nidt."
"Certainly, sir," said tho steward.
"Te finest you can got up. mint joii,
"Certainly, ir."
Tho opera was over and the canta-
trice was going to her room. Tho head
waiter steps out, shows- his ivcry, ard
bows.
"They are ready, ma'am."
"What?" questioned the great Ei -
genie P.
'The twenty-seven suppers you or
dered."
"Me?" The eyes of madam stared.
"Your husband ordered them, mad
am."
"No, not twendy-sofen supper, put
doo supper for twendy-sofen room I
orter," said the little captain, as 1 o
came up with his great spouse's wrap0,.
An explanation followed. The can-
tat rice's room was No, 27, but the slov -
aid understood tho captain to mea :
twenty-seven suppers, there being jn A
twenty-seven members of the troi.j
sUiying :it the hotel.
