This photograph? Well, I hardly know how to answer you. I do not know her name. I only saw her onco in my life, then only for a little time, and the chances are I shall never see her again. Strange that a woman, a perfect stranger, .should give me her photograph? It does sound strange. How did 1 got it? Thereon hangs a tale. I will tell you it, It points a moral, is characteristic of a woman, and furnishes me with a pleasant reminis cence of a too Seeting visit to the Scot tish HighkMids. ItwnTs two years ago tho summer holk'avs. 1 had spent them with my wife's brother, George Nettlcford. We liad put into execution a long-cherished scheme, and been up to the Highland One day the sun was setting as wc reached the top of an ascent k had cost us j-onie pains to climb. Silting on the bank by the roadside, under the shadow of a mighty tree, we doffed our hats, so mat me genue oreeze might cool our heated brows. On a sudden wo heard quite close to us loud cries and shouts, as of some one in distress or danger. " What's that?" said I to George. "Sounds as though something was the matter with some one," said he, getting up and looking over the hedge. 1 rose iiwl joined him. " Why," exclaimed George, " there's a laa drowning in the pool." So it seemed. The hank on the other side of the hedge sank in a sharp de went some thirty feet or more. A lit tle to the left was a stream or pioce of water of some sort. Generally it was quite narrow narrower than this room you might have iumned across It hut. mono place it widened out Into a tiny mivu or pouu, toieraoiy creep apparent ly; for somewhere about the center was a little boy trying liard to keep himself ntloat, and making a terrible hullabal loo. Without a word we got over tho hedge and ran down the bank. Calling to the youngster to keep still, I ran into the water to help him. It might have been deep enough to drown him, but it barely came up to my shoulders; and when I had once hold of him, it was -easy enough to pull him out, and lie was little damaged; for when 1 had got him out he stood bolt upright on the bank, looking at me with large round eyes. I "You're not drowned?" I said, smil ing at his solemn expression. He shook his head gravely without a word. He was a queer-looking child, quite a little one, scarcely more than ten years old. So far, I had kept my hand upon his collar, thinking he might fall dow;i, or faint, or something; but relieved of any such fears. I took it av.-ay. No sooner did 1 do so than, "Without a sign of any such intention, he was off like a dart, up the bank, through the hedge, and out of sight. , "AN ell, said George, laughing, "there's gratitude for vou." "Yes,,rsaid I, a little nettled, "he might havo said thank you." -" Or told you how much further we have to go," growled George. " I've got a ducking for my pains," I continued, thinking somewhat ruefully of my knickerbockersuit a recent pur chase "That won't matter," quoth George, unsynipatheticallv; "you'll soon get dry." We climbed up the bank, and contin ued our journey, talking and laughing over our way-side adventure. After a time we struck upon a charming country inn. shrined in a glorious sweet-smelling frame of honeysuckle and red roses. We entered together. The very sight of the bar was enough to do one good. Behind the counter sat a female, look ing quite tho lady, about thirty-live or so, in widow's cap and weeds. She rose at our entrance. " AAre want two beds," I said, coming to the point at once " AATe can offer you none." she re plied, civilly, but anything but warmly; "we are already overcrowded. AVe have no accommodation of any sort to give you.1' " Then where shall we find another inn?" The next inn is about" she paused " eight or nine miles farther on." She might as well have said eight or nine hundred. Out we staggered from that delicious bar into the gathering night There was a man, a laborer of some sort, standing in the bar; and as we went out, I noticed him lean over and whis per to The hostess. As we went, how ever, wearily dragging our legs along, some one came running after its. It was a girl, apparantly a servant girl, young, pretty and neatly dressed. She seemed in a great flurry. "Please, sir," she said, stopping us, "I've brbught a message. Mistress says you're to come back at once. And she wished me to say she is verv sorry, but she did not know you." f Enow me! Of course not How was she to, seeing she had "never seen me before, nor 1 her? The ignorance was mutual. "Let's go," said George, cutting further conversation short When we reached the inn, the hostess bowed. "I am sorry, sir," she said, ;in a stately way, " to have sent you away, but I did not know you." Did not know me? What did she mean by she did not know me? Of course she did not know me. How was she to? But I had po time for reflec tion. The servant showed us into an inner room, the neatest, coziest, pret- tiest little room I do believe lever saw. George threw himself on the sofa; while 1' sat on a chair, my feet apart, my hands on my knees, staring into va cancy, feeling a little mystified. In a few minutes the servant returned. "Please, will you step this way, sir?" said she to me George was asleep on the sofa, and did not notice her entrance. I followed her up stairs; Ave were evi dently among the bed rooms. She stopped at a door, and opening it showed me in. It was a sleeping apart ment, quite small, but so neat, and clean and pretty, so unlike the usual -thing you expect in hotels and inns,' that 1 looked on the servant in amaze There were a suit of clothes laid out on -the bed, black and seeming quite new, ,and a clean, white shirt hanging on a chair; a collar, necktie' and socks on the scat; and a pair of slippers on the floor. "Mistress," said ray guide, with Just enough of tho Doric to be agreeable, "wishes you to chango your clothes, or else vou will get cold." "What," 1 inquired, "Is your mis tress' name?' " Mrs. Mac" something in three syl lables, but what I could not catch. Sho then withdrew. Taking off my drenched suit I find had a thorough good.WMhvndlhcQput on the clothes provided, i then went down stairs again, and found my Phillis waiting at the foot to guide me into ' tho parlor, where I found Geonre still sleeping. I woke him and told him of my luck. "Well," said he, "she's a pleasant sort of a landlady. She seems to have taken a fancy to you." " Don't tilk nonsenso," 1 retorted, thinking of Kate and my family of seven. "I hope," said he, "aiuong her other kindnesses, she won't forget to let us nave some supper." Tho words were hardly out of his mouth when there was a tap at the door, and in came Phillis. "Please sir," said that admirable young person, "mistress says may I lay the table for supper?" "Give your mistress my compli ments," replied Georgo, With assumed dignity" .Mr. NcttTcford's compli ments, and say rith the greatest please tin " She did not give her mistress his com pliments at least not then; but without a word or a smile laid it there and then, covoring it with a snow white t-ible cloth, and laying it in that charming air of home-iiko comfort that pervaded everything. In the itidrning we overslept ourselves, and. .".fier breakfast began seriously to consider the cost of our entertainment. AVe rang the bell, and in came the land lady. Wo rose, as she entered and bowed, which courtesy sho gracefully returned. " AVe shall bo much obliged," I said, " if vou will let us have our bill.' "IJilH" she said, drawing herself Upright "Do you wish to insult me, sir?" Insult her! "Insult you!" I said, " but surely this is an inn?" " Yes," returned she, with something of wounded dignity; "this is an inn, but not to you whatefcr.' "Not to lis!" I exclaimed, amazed; while George, I fancy, began to take her iora lunatic. "Do you think," she burst out, "I would take money from the man who saved my child?" Saved her child! In an instant it flashed across me, tho youngster floun Ucring in the pool, and" how tho young rogue had run away. "Was was that your son in tho pool?" 1 asked, beginning to under stand her. "Ay, it was Alec," she said, "my only son mirofcr." " But," I asked, "how did you know it wns I who " "Donald Macneil" or some such name " told me he was near by, and saw it all." I remembered tho laboring man in the bar, and how he had whispered to her when we went out; ho, I presumed, was Donald Macneil. "Well, she would not tako a farthing, and we could hardly press her. She. such a strange sort of woman, cold and proud :is a Ilomnu mother: no wonder her son was such a queer young fish. It anncarcd she had not nnlv turned out of her own sitting-room, but out of her own bed-room, too, to make room for us. AArhere she slept, I have no idea. In the bar, possibly, which, by-the-by, would not havo been so bad after all. Before we went, wo asked her for her photograph, which sho gave . us; and there it is. It is not a bad like ness; but it hardly does her justice; it does not give you the proud set of her features; and in a photograph you can not get the full expression of the eyes. "Is that all?" "That's all." " AVhere's the moral?" " Tho moral is, never neglect to do a good action when you can; you never Know how soon you maybe repaid." "And the characteristic of a woman?" "It seems to me, sir, the whole thing was characteristic; was just like a woman." Philadelphia Post. . Legal Papers in Rhyme. A suit for breach of promise of mar riage, which presents some novel fea tures, has just been brought in the Brookhn City Court by Miss Arabella Parthenia Featherstone against J. Uriah Allibone, the damages being laid at $10,000. Miss Featherstone is an or- friian, about thirty years of age, and ives with an uncle near Allentown, Pa She alleges that on July 21, 1879, Allibone, who was spending his vaca tion in the neighborhood, asked her to become his wife. She consented, and fixed November 28 as the wedding day. In the meantime, however, Allibone was married to another woman. The peculiarity of the papers in the suit is that the complaint, the answer, and even the affidavits are all in rhyme. Tho complaint begins thus: "Tho plaintiff, in seeking redress for hor woes. Comes Into court and respectfully shows," and after setting forth the circumstances on which the action is based, closes as follows asking for damages: "Ten thousand Is tho sum, Though it would not requite me, 'Twill teach Uriah, anv way. How much It cost to slight mo." The affidavit to the complaint is as follows: ' Arabella Parthcnfa Featherstone, The plaintlu. beinjr duly sworn. Says: ' I have read the facts above, Tho same arc true of my knowledge born, Save the defendant's vows of love: And as to tho-c I do declare I did believe him that I swear." The answer denies the allegations of the complaint and the defendant de clares that " Ho no promise of marriage has broken. As never such subject was dreamed of or spoken." He also savs that the plaintiff repre sented herself to be engaged to marry one James R. Vedder. His affidavit is unique: " Kings County Allibone, J. U., First being sworn in manner due. Says the answer above Is true." The" lawyers in the case declare that the complaint and answer are strictly legal. y. T. Tribu.ie. Wrecked by the Fifteen Puzzle. They were two young men fron the country, and they drove up to the Post office corner this morning, attracted by a large crowd which had collected to hear a street-corner vender of the Gem Puzzle explain to the gaping spectators how the puzzle could be done "just as e-a-s-y as falling off a log."

Suddenly the man who was driving imagined he had discovered a move to bring everything out til right and in his excitement and eagerness to show his companion how to make the move dropped the reins. The team started. The man who held the blocks was thrown out into the mud. his blocks flew in all directions, and the horses were only checked bv running into a buggy, which latter vehicle was damaged to the extent of about thirtv dollars worth, a bill the country youths agreed to settle before the owner of the buggy allowed them to depart Cor.

Kate Boas is a banker's daughter. Nature gave her good looks, and her father's million enabled her to add such accomplishments and adornments as made her one of the foremost young women in the mining districts of Penn sylvania. bno was modest and quiet, did not make a display of line dress, and in no way seemed to be spoiled by wealth and flattery. It was thought that sho mistrusted the sincerity of her admirers, and was fearful of fortune liunters, for she avoided association with gentlemen as far as sho could po litely. The fact is now public that she never gave up the love of the sweet heart of her school days, when she was a comparatively poor girl, and he was too heedlessly boyish to couple love and money in his calculations. Her choice, however, was not that of her father's, and she obediently married a man whom she did not love. That was seven years ago. Now she is in an asylum for the insane, and her husband sued for a divorce and obtained it yesterday. It is in the testimony in this suit that the extraordinary story is told. Kate Beas went home from school with her heart pledged to her lover; but she soon found that hor father was of a different mind. A. F. Boas had grown enormously in wealth, while the young man's father, a contractor, had been unfortunate. Mr. Boas forbade her to countenance the suit of a poor man's son, and she was obedient, though she was revengefullv repellant to other suitors. Sho spent her winters here in Reading at her homo, and her summers at her father'scountry house at Wormelsdorf, twenty miles distant The young heiress becamo almost a re cluse, but she did not let anybody know the reason. In everything else her father gave her the utmost freedom; but in the matter of a husband he not only denied her the man of her liking, but finally chose one for her. This was Dr. Beaver, who lived close by the Boas residence at Wormelsdorf, and belong ed to a wealthv family. Kate married Dr. Beaver, lie was in all respects worthy of her. There was a grand wedding and an extended bridal tour. The husband was successful in his pro fession, the wife became a leader in fashionable society, and a daughter was born. Dr. Beaver excitedly entered the of fice of the prosecuting attorney of this county, William M. Goodman, one (Liy, and asked for help to expose and pun ish a faithless wife. He believed that Kate had a lover other than himself, and wanted the means of learning the truth. Detectives were placed at his service, and it was not long before he was prepared to plainly accuse his wife He hid a witness "in his office, and then sent for her. She came with out knowing what she was -to hear, and the blunt accusation of having held clandestine meetings with her lover was like a blow in the face. " Whoever says that lies," sho indig nantly replied. "Did you never write to him?" he asked. Never since I left school." " Have you not written to him within three or four weeks?" No." Then he put before her the proof of her falsity a letter which she had sent by a housemaid to the lover, but which the detectives had intercepted. In it she said: "Who could imagine that such a drama was being enacted here in real life?" The doctor said that they would have to separate. She wept and begged of him not to drive her out "Let me remain as your house keeper," she cried, " if not as your wife" Her prayer for forgiveness was in vain. Her husband covertly ascer tained that the witness had heard all she had said, and then dismissed her. He permitted her to stay in the house, but no longer as his wife. She would aot go W her father for eomfort for he already had, thrddgh failure In busi ness; as much trouble as he 'could bear; and She dared not see or send td Her lorer. She was informed that her husband had begun proceedings for divorce. She made no defense, and said that she would confevi to her father. The aged and brokea-down man went to heK responsive to a mes sage, and heard from her own lips how wretchedly the wedlock of his planning had turned out - Tho testimony given before the ref eree, Simon l'.O'Uelllv, was convinc ing enough but It hardly degraded the case to the level of ordinary divorce proceedings. However, the" pfofe1 sional spies swore that Kate and her lover met frequently; but her own servants described his visit to tho house in her husband's absence A rear gate had been fixed so that he could open it from the outside; certain signals had been agreed on to indicate danger and safety, notes had been sent to and fro frequently, and he had all but lived in the house while the doctor was away on a fishing excursion. One witness described the wife as slipping out from the presence of her husband in the parlor lifting her silk train as bhe tripped over the dew of the garden grass, and meeting her lover for a sen timental exchange of words iri the shadow of a back fence. Another told of her jealousy on hearing a rumor that he was paying court to a girl; and it seems Unit it was her dread of his mar rying anybody else, rather than an purpose or idea of being untrue to her own vows, that made her cling to him. Sho always spoke most respectfully of her husband, and praised him for his kindness anil generosity. She once told tha story of her school day romance to a friend as an occur rence long na-t, but added, impulsive ly, "I love him to this day." A pass age in one of her letters to him, how ever, indicates tint she Had rejected a proposal td elope "May God bless and reward vou for vour devotion." she wrote, "for i never can." and the last four words were underscored. The lawsuit, ended vesterday in Dr. Beaver securing the divorce, made the matter known to everybody. Kate kept herself out of sight, as though crushed by shame. But sho could not hide from herself, and, to deaden her feeling, she took to drugging herelf with opium. Her reason was soon de stroyed, and sho was taken to the Dan ville Insane Asylum. Heading (fix.) Cor. AT. K Sun. Business Success. Among the rare bits of wordly wisdom uttered by Major Eastburn, one of the former magnates of State street. who.-e familiar faco and form as he stood at his office door at noonday will be recalled bv many, none may be more profitably considered at the present time than his comment on making haste to be rich. " I've stood here on State street," said he, " for forty years, and I have seen men accumulate fortunes by specula tion, and I've seen these fortunes dis appear I have seen men go up in worldly wealth, and go down, and I've always noticed that those persons who were content with slow gains and six per cent interest came out ahead in the long run." The greatest of proverb ial philosophers has also said. " A faithful man shall abound with blessings, but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent;" and again, "He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him." Ho hastens best who hastens slowly; not lazily, for there must bo work, backed by energy, perseverance, intelli gent self-denial and thorough business habits. Believers in business impossi bilitiesare not as numerous as formerly. For years we seemed to be living in tho atmosphere of venture and great un dertakings, and our whole industry was tinged with the unearthly light, but of late years we have been suflering from a collapse of these great hollow ideas, and there is hope for a return of the staplo prosperity of earlier times. Tho past six years of depression has solidified all branches of business. Pru dence and economy is now the motto of the successful merchant. The misfor tunes of the past did not come for naught. It is a delusion to suppose that success is attained by any kind of patent process. Books aro sometimes advertised with such taking titles as "The Secret of Success," "The Road to Wealth," etc., but they make the path of success no plainer or easier for those who are looking for a short road to wealth, power, honor and influence These come only of years of intelligent labor and devotion to business, pru dence, economy, honest dealing, cour age and presoverance He that would have true and lasting success must de serve it A fortune won by blunder or accident by short cuts, by strategy, or close bargains, is not success, and is likely to leave its possessor as quickly as it came. Success must be conquered in a legitimate way. The man who en ters business only for plunder and gain, with no thought" of his reputation or character, is not a good business man, and is never regarded by his fellows as a successful man. The truth is that real success does not mean wealth, so cial position or political honors alone. To these must be added honesty, a heartfelt consideration for others, civil ity, promptitude of thought and action, intelligence, sobriety and every manly virtue. The truly successful business man is one who is complete in everything that belongs to his calling. He has a thor ough knowledge of what has been done in his business, and applies this knowl edge with untiring diligence to the undertakings before him. He watches and studies the markets, knowing how mucn is produced of the commodity in which he deals and the amount con sumed; he is prompt in decision and execution, truthful in word and con duct, and keeps his credit unimpaired. In all that he does he commands the respect and confidence of all with whom he deals, and maintains a high and noble character before the world, which is beyond all price. The prin cipal of the " survival of the fittest" is nowhere more applicable than in busi ness matters. The unworthy and in capable are sure in the long run to sink to their proper level.

Two young men of noblo birth were paying their attentions to the daughter of a neigh boring chief, and as she showed equal favor to each of them, it was arranged, by mutual consent, that they should meet in single combat and tight a duel to the death. The conditions of tho duel were that they should meet on horseback, each of the combatants being armed with a rille, a revolver anil a hunting knife They were placed a hundred yards apart, and, upon a signal given by one of tho seconds, they set their horses at full gallop and rushed at each other. For a few moments tho spectators could see notLing but a cloud of dust, from out of which were heard two successive reports of a rifle, and then a third, followed by the neighing of a horse Wfien the dust had cleared away, a shocking sight met the gaze of the spectators; one of the combatants, concealed behind his deail horse, was taking aim-at his adversary, who still remained in the saddle Tho latter spurred his horse and made it rear, the noble beast receiving in his chest the bul let meant for his master. The rider, as soon as he was dismounted, rushed for ward to grapple with his adversary, but a second shot fractured his left shoulder. Nevertheless, he retainod sufficient strength to discharge two chambers of his revolver, both shots taking effect A hand-to-hand combat then ensued, the two adversaries, neither of whom was able to stand, stabbing each other repeatodly. When the seconds and spectators at last interfered the two were picked up dead one with his teeth firmly set in his adversary's cheek, while the hitter's hand was thrust into a gaping wound in the other's chest The Saddest Phase of Life In the Gold and Silrer-Mlnlng KegloBS. The saddest phase of this coast probably of all gold and silver-mining regions is the absence of homes. Wo meau real homes, whose founder laid the first hearthstone and made the first clearing with the thought that on that spot he was to do his life's work, and there, at last, amid familiar scenes, sink into that sleep that is final. The ab sence of this disposition has made nomads of the men of this coast They came here originally with the thought that in a little while they would return and make the home of their future in the lands of their birth. Could the air castles which have been erected in thought by men on this coast while ly ing in bunks in rude cabins, or in blankets around camp-fires, be woven into a picture, what a city it would make. But the years have stolen by; exdept in isolated cases, the bewitching dreams nave never been realized, and while the hoped-for homes were never builded back in the land of childhood, neither, alas, have they been builded here We do not mean to say that there are not plenty of families living in what they call homes. But those who have homes which were created with the expectation that they would be permanent, that in and about them was to be hoarded the gathered treasures of a life time, are very few. This might perhaps, be expected here In the desert, but the same is true of California, espe cially in the country. As a rule, the farm-houses of California and their sur roundings are a perpetual sign of ".For Sale" On many of those farms men and families have lived for a quarter of a century, and still it has never been home in'any rightful sense of the word. There has never been a time that the husband and father has not intended to sell out in the course of a few months and never a time that the family has not hoped he would. Virginia (Aev.) Enterprise. Coxsclab reports from Salonica, Turkev, declare that with the excep tion of the towns and the immediate vicinity, the country is in the hands of the brigands. Thirteen distinct bands are enumerated, containing in all about 150 men of various creeds and nationali ties Greeks. Lutzo-Wallachs, Bulga rians, Albanians and Turkish deserters. At a certain time some of the bands re ceived subsidies from Athens, and pro fessed to be the representatives of Hel lenic aspiration, but of late they have divested themselves of this semi-political character, and play the part of sim ple briorands- lewins' blackmail from -Mussuimaas and "Christians indiscrim inately. The brigands'' avoid, as much as possible, all conflict with the military forces, but they have no fear of the local police or civil authorities, who are loo often, it is said, in league with tha chiefs. ffhaA T ft la EsMCftxW.

I ue Sjoko first of the ximple accident of j fainting. A a matter of fact a simple : f...intlnt fit was merelv the result of a temporary cessation of the flow of blood to the brain, and no one ever died of It In a few moments the blood ran back to the brain again and the til wv over And yet jxxplc did all kind of ridicu lous thing to the patient, lifting hint up and throwing cold water hito ht face. tho former proceM really tending to re tard the cure, while the latter made no difference either way. The patient should be allowed to he on the ground as he fell, tho horizontal jhUiou Ix-ing most favorable to the return of the blood to the brain. If tho recovery did not oon occur the feet might be raided, by w hich means the blood would bv .-ent from the extremities, and the patient would recover almost immediatelv. Occasionally a peron who was sick at the time of the fainting would die un der the fit. but the raising him up ami applications of cold water would only have a tendency to make him die all tho quicker. Children in convulsions, a form of sickiie-s which, by reason of its dread ful appearance, frightened the friends of tho patients, were subjected to nil sorts of foolish treatment; were plunged into hot baths, dashed with eold water, shaken, flagellated, and not uufrcqucut Iy doted with medicine. In 991) out of 1,000 caes tho cottvul.-ion is an epi leptic lit. which lasts generally alxuit three minutes, nnd in which it wa very unusual for a patient to die. Occasion ally, where thcruis disease of the brain, tho tit might last an hour or more, or he might die; but the recovery of tho patient in any case would not be hast ened by the adoption of any of tho treatment alluded to. At the end of the tit the sufferer usually fell into a deep slumber, and nothing should be done to interfere with this means taken by Nature to aid the recovery of the patient. The same statement applied to the hysterical fit, which was a mutter of no consequence, because it never killed anybody; and even in tno apo plectic fit no-thing could bo done further than to keep the patient's mouth clear, so that breathing might not bo imped ed, and to prevent him from hurting himself or other people from doing so. In cases where children suffered from concussions people were afraid to let the sufferers go to sleep. The knock on the head which the child received in the fall produced certain injuries in the brain, and Nature's process for curing them was to let the parts rest, and this caused the desire to sleep to nriso after such an accident This desire should always bo gratified, the child being placed in as favorable conditions to a good sound sleep as soon as povsible. On tho subject of hemorrhage the doctor explained that it was necessary for people to tell by the pulse whether the patient was in danger or not Tho normal rate of the pulse was from sev enty to eighty beats a minute; if a pa tient bled extensively the ptilso ran up as high as from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and forty beats a min ute, which indicated that tho patient was in danger. The easiest way to check the bleeding was to apply pres sure at the oiiit where the blood w.as flowing from tho external injurv. A handkerchief or a finger plunged into the wound could always accomplish this. It was a good thing, too, to elevate tho limb where the cut or bruise wan, as that brought the attraction of gravita tion to tho aid. Applications of cold water, which contracted the blood-vessels and retarded the flow of blood. were also beneficial. How to dress a serious wound was also a matter which puzzled people a great deal. The best thing to apply was hot water, which gave the injured parts the best opjMir tunity of recovery which they could have: The water shouln always be at a temperature somewhat highcr'than that of the blood say from ninety-eight to one hundred degrees. The emergency of great pain was one which often occurred to children, and under circumstances which might lead to the destruction of some of the sernc. One of the mo-it common pains was that which occurred in thu ear, tho bct means of alleviating which was the ap plication of hot water. A constant stream of hot water should be jo tired into the child's car by means of a syringe or a teaspoon, and it would soon stop the pain. The child should then be allowed to rest and if the pain occurred again, the same treatment should be repeated. Earache should never be disregarded, as it was quite likely to result in loss of hearing. Heat was the most useful of all simple agents to stop pain. Fomentations should be applied as hot as povdble, and a common wringing-machinc was a very useful help innandling the cloths just taken from the intensely hot water. The person handling the cloths for the patient might not be able easily to stand their heat but a patient suffer ing from the colic, for instance, would welcome them heated almost up to the scalding point In speaking of medicines, the lecturer recommended Dover's powders and paregoric as simple forms of the opi ate which could be safely used in the family, especially the former, which wa? less dangerous than any others of this class of medicines. In the case of poisoning, he recom mended the application of an emetic, and the giving of quantities of water, by which means the poison would be diluted and its effect greatly weakened. The simplest way to produce vomiting was to thrust the middle 'finger down the throat of the patient and tickle it until vomiting was produced; of emet ics none was more simple and effica cious than a tablespoonful of table mustard mixed in a pint of hot water. In cases of poisoning bv any of the va- rious forms of opium, the best antidote was strom; coffee in copious quantities. Here, too, was the only case in which the patient should not be allowed to sleep. He should be walked up and down, and kept by everv available means from relapsing into slumber from which it might be impossible to awaken him- Chicago Tribune. - m - . A paragraph went the rounds of the English newspapers last winter about a pheasant having been shot that had a wooden leg. Now the sequel is being published.

Taking his case of pocket instruments the surgeon care fully amputated the leg, and then made a neat little artificial leg. fastened it to the stump and released the bird. 0r YoiBf RttMkrt .!.
