My friend Jenkins drew another of my office chairs toward him, laid hk feet acroes it and emitted a long drawn spiral of smoke from the lips from which he had Just removed the stem of a meer schaum which was my chronic envy. I had in vain endeavored to beg, purchase or purloin the said pipe. "No use, old boy," had been his inva riable reply. "This pipe belonged to the old 'Studenten Lagen.' and I cling to it as to a sort of relic." "Acul those old Vienna days! How merry they were, andiiow full of workr Jenkins, M. D., lay back in his chair and watched the spirals expand and grow dim until they blended with the general murky tint of the atmosphere in my in ner office and mused. We had spent the preceding two hours or more preparing specimens for the microscope, and, now that the evening was well on its way, had laid aside work for oar customary good night smoke. Our friendship had been a strange enough one. Meeting irst at Bxlroth's Elinik in Vienna, the exchange of a casual remark inspired by the feeling of camaraderie among stu dents of the same sciences had led to an acquaintance full of pleasure to both. I had left him there, with face pointed to the Orient, when I turned my reluct ant steps iParisward on my return to "Good-by, old fellow. I may write to you some time, but not now." "When 1 have made tlie welkin ring with the name of the famous Dr. Jenkins you will surely hear from me; until that I shall be too' busy to carry on. much correspondence. 'Peace be unto you."1 He wrung my hand in parting, while the merry look in his eyes, that made one forget for the nonce that life was aot all a joke, dimmed a little. "And to you, peace, "and I turned away. Three years passed, and walkingrapid ly around the corner of Chestnut street in the early dusk, on my way to my oili n in Twelfth, I ran unceremoniously into a pedestrian coming with equal momentum from Twelfth to Chestnut. "I beg pardon, sir! I didn't see you," said I, lustily, as I recovered from the rebound and was rushing past him. "It's only fair to suppose you wouldn't have bumped yourself against me to your detriment if you had seen mc, air; - so I accept your apology in its entirety." I turned in amazement to see what Banner of man was my late opponent who should answer my amende honora ble in this wise, and we both burst into a hearty laugh. We were both a bit shaken in the concussion, I believe," continued be, laughingly, "but it did, if you'll pardon me, sound a little asinine in you to ex plain that you didn't see me. May I ask, sir, if you run into people that way when you do see them?" As be had spoken I had turned a little, and the light from the street lamp on the corner had fallen on my face. "Brown, as I live! Old boy, how small the world is!" "Jenkins!" Ahandclaspfollowed that bridged the silent years and made us chums again, and in Vienna. - "You shall come home with me for the night," said L "Come; no refusal. I dwell hard by. By the way, which hotel are you at, Jenkins, and I'll send around for your traps? Tm not at a hotel my 'traps are too numerous for transportation and I cant remain away from my office to night, even for the pleasure of staying with my long lost Brown." ' "Officel'" I had stammered. "I don't quite comprehend. In Philadelphia? "Precisely. You grasp the situation with amazing clearness. Sixteenth and Guard. Been there two years." And so it was. For two years we who believed each other at the antipodes had walked the streets of the same great city, scarcely more than a stone's throw apart. How odd it all seemed. We took up the old f riendshiD where we laid it down, and again plodded on our way together. We studied, we in vestigated, we made elaborate chemical and physiological experiments and re searches. And yet the welkin had not rang with the name of Jenkins. Tho naodest patronymic, Brown, had not reached out its octupus arms and drawn Jo it the gaze of all the world. Things were in this stage the evening oss? story opens.

Jenkins half closed his eyes and blew a long puff of smoke from his pursed up lips. He watched it a moment dreami ly, and said: "Ah, beatific vision! I see the re nowned Dr. Brown tripping up the steps of a Broad street mansion. A liveried servant admits him. He is shown into a darkened chamber, where-, on a couch of pain, etc, a white haired man tosses uneasily. White haired man sinks rap idlybut that is owing to no lack of skill on the part of the renowned Dr. Brown it is but bowing to the inevi table. - White haired man dies, but so great has become his love for the good Dr. Brown that he makes him his heir. Dr. Brown places a becoming token of mourning on his hat, sets up a hand some carriage and rides on to fame and fortune," "Cheering enough, surely, but, Jen kins, you've forgotten that 'a prophet was not without honor save in his own country,' " returned I idly. Jenkins started up suddenly, upset ting the chair on which his feet had re posed. The door had opened noiselessly and a slight womanly figure, stylishly clad in a dark gray costume, stood hesitatingly on the tlireshold. "I beg pardon but the servant said I should find Dr. Brown in his office. Finding the door ajar I entered. Do I intrude?" looking inquiringly from one to the other. "By no means, madame. Be seated, pray." I had sprung hastily to my feet, and was proffering her a chair. Her voice was soft and low and gently modulated. Her voice, the neatly gloved liand, the quiet, tasteful costume, the very manner with which she dropped into the proffered chair, bespoke the lady. Turning to my friend, who was hastily preparing for departure, I said I know I shall be forgiven for it: Til meet you there, then, in consul tation at let me see, to-morrow is a pretty full day how will 10 o'clock doT "Finely suits me exactly." I accompanied him to the street door. "It has come, old fellow. The prophet claims his honor. A little blunder re garding the sex of your patient and a few of the minor details, perhaps; but you can't expect a novice in prophecy to get all the minutUB straight." "Adieu! Come and report to me at 10 to-morrow." And he ran down the steps. I watched him fcr a little down the dimly lighted street whilo I collected my wits, which the sudden advent of the lady had somewhat scattered, and re turned to her presence. She sat where I had left her, with the same graceful, un conscious pose. She seemed lost in thought as I entered, but glanced up half sadly, half timidly, as I seated. myself opposite her. A little woman of perhaps 30, with a sad, refined face. "I came in to consult you regarding my husband, who is an invalid, and wishes you to come to him, she be gan. "It may seem strange to you that I come to you myself at this hour in stead of sending a servant, but having scarcely left my husband's bedside all day, I felt that I must'eome out and get a breath of air outside the sick room or stifle, and Thomas, the footman, waita for me outside, so I am quite safe in coming, yen see," she raid, looking up at me with a sad smile. "Ah, yes! I saw. She was quite right" this while I mentally added the footman to the other evidences of her eocial status. "My husband smffered from sunstroke in August and since that time had un fortunately been failing steadily in health. The end, we- feel, cannot be far off," she faltered while she pressed her handkerchief for a moment to her eyes. - "He has wished us for weeks to.call you, but as we bad already employed the best medical skill to be had in the city, we could see no sufficient reason why a new physician should be called to the case." After a short pause: "My poor husband has always been a man of strong likes and dislikes! and it seems he 'had observed you for some time before bis unfortunate illness be gan and had been strongly attracted to you. The last few days his constant wish for you has had such a depressing effect on his constitution that I deter mined this afternoon to talk with Dr. X. (naming one of our most celebrated practitioners), who is in attendance, and his advice at once was to call you. You understand we have no hope or expecta tion that you can save say poor hus band," with a sob. "but it will pleas him to have you do for him what re- to be done now." I acquiesced. I understood perfectly. Jenkins' prophecy shall I confess it? still ran in my .mind. "Would you like me to go with you this evening?" I inquired. "Oh, no. He does not expect you this evening, and it fa so late. To-morrow at 11 will do. You have a consultation at 1, though (ah, she had taken note of that), would that be too early, do you thinkT "Certainly not. And the address?" "No. Broad street" Bid I visibly start, I wonder?

I was a young man. I know my older brethren will forgive me. How long I dreamed I do not know. I noticed at length that my mantel clock had stopped. "Ah, those wretched French clocks! Forever out of order! I must speak to J urggessen to send a man to the office to morrow to put it in order for me. Heigh ho! I must to bed. . I wonder what time it is anyhow. Must be near 12." I goto the table on which I had laid my watch earlier in the evening, while we had been busy with our mkroecopio work. "What is this? Gone? My watch not here? Ah! a trick of Jenkins to teach me to be more careful. Well, the fright will perhaps be a lesson tome. What an interesting face that little woman had, anyhow. Confound it, I wish Jen kins luul left my watch alone. But I'll be sure to get it before going to Broad street to-morrow. A fine figure I should make visiting a patient without a watch." I went to bed and slept. The nature of my dreams I will spare the reader. At 10 I called at Jenkins office to tell him of my luck and to get my watch. I found be was out a sudden calL "A plague on the luck! So I must go ! without the watch after all I wish Jenkins weren't quite so full of pranks sometimes but that prophecy of his was queer any way. I walked rapidly down Guard from Sixteenth, turning into Broad. A couple of blocks or so along Broad street. "How long a Philadelphia block is, anyhow! What a magnificent eye for distances Penn must have had when he planned the old city. I must be neat my pa tient's residence now. The houses are few along herel" I scan the numbers eagerly I reach the spot "What is this? Am I mistaken? No. is a church!" Light slowly dawns upon me. My watch? The little lady in gray? Was it possible 1 had been duped by what we call in vulgar parlance an entry thief? Horrible thought! But 'her story the coincidence with what we had been talking! I said to Jenkins, when a half hour later I had burst into his office to find him returned from visiting a patient, "how do you account for that, pray?" "Easiest thing in the world," said my friend. "Stood in the hallway and overheard my brilliant augury, and 'adapted it,' as the story tellers say, to her needs." "And Thomas, the footman, whom I saw waiting outside?" "Bah! a pal." My patients, my reputation and my shekels are still "making haste slowly." Olive Grier in Detroit Free Press.

Th Sorrow of a Yeas star n Waal Oat with a Now Gam. Henry Sykes, a young man of this town, went hunting a few days ago. He had a fine new double barrelled shotgun, and wished to distinguish himself. He concluded to try his hand at shooting ducks. About fif teen miles below here on the Ohio river in a marshy spot wild ducks are frequently found. A friend told Sykes of this place. The railroad runs near it, and Sykes went down in tho morn ing before day. He hired a country man to take nimoutinasniallskiif, and at dawn they were watching for the ducks. They paddled around quietly for about two hours, but saw no ducks. Sykes began to grow im patient but the monotony was inter rupted by an event The boat was old and the timber was rotten. The coun tryman incautiously ran it against a snag. A big hole was stove in the bot tom, and it immediately fillet! untl sank. The water was not over waist deep, but Sykes in his tumble drop ped his fine gun. After a licit Lours groping in the muddy water U was found and they waded to land. ' Sykes dried Lis clothes and his gun, nutin'a new load and concluded that he had enough of duck hunting. He thought ho would try squirrel shoot ing, as the forest ran down to the water's edge, and his boatman told him squirrels were abundant in it Ho entered the forest and hunted until noon without seeing a squirrel. Then he found that he was lost After two hours' wandering and nothing to eat he came to a house and was told how to get to the railway station. Ho was also informed that in the fields on the way there was some good quail shoot ing. Sykes came to one of the fields de scribed, and thought that he might yet redeem himself by popping over a few brace of quail. He climbcdnvcr the fence and made his way through enmo stubble, expecting to scare up some game. A herd of sheep was feeding in the field. An old ram was at tho head of the herd, and when ho saw Sykes he opened hostile demonstra tions. With head down he statteU on a run for the hunter. Sykc was bad ly frightened. He thought it vvuld be better to kill the ram than be killed by him. So he raised bis gun and dis charged both barrels at the coming catapult His hand trembled so that all the shot flew wide. Then he turn ed to run and the ram struck him a S lancing blow, which tossed him into le stubble on his face and sent his gun flying from his hands. Abandon ing his weapon he sprangtohisfectand ran for the fence, pursued by tho ram. He was knocked down asain, but finally managed to reach the fence and scrambled over into safety. He found that he was considerably bruis ed, but not hurt Sykes threw stones at the ram for a while and wondered how he was go ing to get his gun back. After con siderable searching he found the house of the man who owned the field. The farmer sent the hired man hack with him, and they obtained tho gun. It was two miles to the railway station. Sykes shouldered his gun and started for it, still aching from lib adven tures. He determined to sell his gun as soon as he got back to the city, and never go hunting again. He came in sight of the station just in time to see the last Louisville train pass. He Jelled and worked his handkercliief, ut the train did not stop. At this last misfortune Sykes broke down. He sat on the depot platform and actu ally shed tears. There was no hotel at the little station, and he spent tho night at a little farm house near by. He did not sleep an v. for the musnui- toes riddled his- unprotested face, and it was covered with bumps the next morning. He got up at daylight, de termined not to miss the first Louis ville train, although it was not due for three hours, and waited in the de pot until it arrived. Then he came to Louisville, hunted up a doctor, sold his new gun for half price and related his tale of woe. Louisville Telegram. A. Cklaeao Pfcjaiclaa.

Errois Which Heine's Soafja' and "Baa's laja." The whole world has heard by this time of the Boetornan's claim to have seen a book catalogue containing this entry: .acBTtoa: Praawtheoa (nabouad) Which, he adds, is quite as good in its ways as the entries: MiUoatbeFloaa Da 00 liberty, ' and the excerpt from the catalogue of I a country library: Paul . . Adellaa. IM ... Oyster The French binder's error in label I insr two volumes of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." "L'Oncle, Tome I," and "L'Oncle, Tome II," is also historical, but hardly more deservedly so than that of the cataloguer who entered "Heine's Sougs" as "Hen's Lays." ''Celebrated Criminals Bound in Morocco1 appears to indicate that a just retribution lias overtaken a body of nefarious persons among whom it would be a pleasure to number the printer who caused the types to make mention of Professor Beers' "Thank less Muse" as the "The Thankless Nurse." "French Cathedrals, by Winkles," is possibly a correct entry, but "by Winkles" sounds unpleasantly like a substitute for profanity. We can appreciate the feelings of the cataloguer who wrote "One Hun dred and Fifty Choice Masterpieces," and failed to observe in reaaincrhis proofs that it had been set up as "One ! pieces." "Poems by Chaucer very scarce" states an undoubted fact; but when a set of Sterne is entered as having "the author's signature in nine volumes" to enhance its value one is disposed to suspect that some one has been imposed upon. There is a perfect Daniel come to judgment in the north of England. His entry of Brough's "Falstaff'7 illus trated by Cruikshank, as "Cruik shank's Falstaff," written up by Brough, is eminently just . The 1111II1111 1 1 r -lirnslaahf would 4e glad to see the volumCTeferred to as "571 Fames," even though it should turn out that the works of Paine were numbered 571 in the catalogue, and were given a companionable sound by the oversight or the. proof reader and the cusseunessof the typesetter. It is easy to picture, the consterna tion of the librarian who found under the classification of "Works on the French Capital" the volume "Parish Register of Kirkbarton County, York" an error which finds its parallel in the entry of 'Paul and Virginia" under Americana as "Virginia (Paul and) :" nor can we exclude here' the classifi cation of "Horati Flacci Opera" under operatic works. The proprieties were certainly observed when, as we learn from a recent catalogue, a life of Peter the Great was bound in Russia, which certainly cannot be said of the binding of "Burton's Anatomy of the Melancholy" in "full Salmon Mo rocco." One cannot but reflect that the au thor would ' be very angry were he to see his work alluded to as "Fleming's f Rabies," nor can it be gainsaid that the probably mythical error, ''Bing Ham sandwich Islands" for "Bingham's Sandwich Islands" would have plung ed its author into a gulf of dark de spair. Another probably mythical slip is the entry of Michael is' "Ancient Mar bles" under the head of sport; but "The Emperor Napoleon slightly soiled" is bona fide. The "Manual of Cbirosophy, well thumbed," "Cowes, in half calf," and "Jack Sheppard, with gilt edges," are mistakes heard of but not seen; but the allusion to "3 Irs. Beeton's Cook Book, extra illustrated with fine pistes," is in existence. J. K. Bangs In Harper's Weekly. SToMllty. A gcuerous man expects to be im posed upon; but the satisfaction of re lieving one deserving sufferer com pensates for the mortification of being swindled by nine impostors. A sym pathetic man often "slops over," in the judgment of cold, cautious men, and trusts men that were not worthy to be trusted. Henry Ward Beecher was once crit icised for his sympathetic trustfulness by a friend who called it "gush," and 'flopping over." He replied : "I suppose I do slop over sometimes. Well.

One day the father, having heard el the man's meanness, came home very much ex cited. Instead of "blowing out" he raised his hand, and bringing it down emphatically but slowly, said: 4fWell, when I have acted honor ably toward a man, and he goes away and acts meanly toward me, I am never sorry that I acted honorably to ward him ln Youth's Companion. Tfco Bar Matfcar Obi A philosophic young man from the west has been recording his observa tions on the Bar Harbor girl's apti tude for flirtation. She flirts in what might be called the sledge hammer fashion ho says. There are no deli sate shadings or leadings up in her book of coquetry. She begins by say ing: "Do you know, I really wonder ed whether you really meant what I heard you said about me." (The un fortunate man has probably said noth ing, but she is counting on his forget ting whether he did or not, and usual ly her count is correct) He says: "Oh. really, Miss De Vere, I couldn't have said anything about you that wasn't pleasant" Miss De Vere feels then that Casey is at the bat, and that the game is in her own hand, so she answers with her most in tense look: "I heard that you said that you thought I was hard hearted." Then the unfortunate, who doesn't care whether she is hard hearted or not, but thinks if she eats much more ice cream she will have to have a dose of ginger, responds: "Oh, no; but you have been -cruel in not letting me come near you." Then he wonders that the ground doesn't open and swallow him, for she has been running after him day and night until he has quite made up his mind to leave the place. If she knew how to be coy this would be her opportunity, but instead she says: "Well, 1 will try and be kinder to you in the future. To-morrow you shall go buckboard driving with me in the morning, you shall lunch at our table, and we will have a long, quiet afternoon." This is too much too much bliss for one man. And so he announces that he is sick and must go home. She is perfectly- willing to go with him and take care of Turn, but this he declines, telling her that she must think of what people will say about her. Once at the hotel that young man packs his clothes and takes the lirst train home, and when he gets there he says to his chum: "Charley, if you love your liberty and your conn try never go near Bar Harbor, for a girl will marry you out of hand, and say yes for you at the altar before you have an opportunity for more than a bowing acquaintance with her." New York Sun. rood a The lower mammals can live and flourish with comparatively little ehange of diet; not soman. He de mands food not only dissimilar in its actual grosser nature, but differently prepared. In a word for the efferent nervous impulses, on which the di gestive processes depend, to be prop erly supplied, it has become necessary that a variety of afferent impulses (through the eye, ear, nosey palate) reach the nervous centers, attuning them to harmony, so that they shall act, yet not interfere with oneanother. Cooking greatly alters the chemical composition, the mechanical condi tion, and, in consequence, the flavor, the digestibility, and. the nutritive value of foods. To illustrate: meat in its raw condition would: present mechanical difficulties, the" digestive fluids permeating it less completely; an obstacle, however, of far greater magnitude in the case of most vege table foods By cooking, certain chemical compounds are replaced by others, while some may be wholly re moved. As a rule, boiling is not a good form of preparing meat, because it withdraws not only salts of importance,- but proteids and the extractives nitrogenous and other. Beef tea is valuable chiefly because of these ex tractives, though it also contains a little gelatine, albumen and fats. Salt meat furnishes less nutriment, a large Eart having been removed by the rine; notwithstanding all persons at timM- and KnniA freauentlv. find such food highly beneficial, the effect be- j ing oouDuess not cvduow iu ms ali mentary tract. Meat, according to the heat em ployed, may be so cooked as to retain thesreater part of its juices within it, or the reverse. With a high tempera ture (65 degs. to 70 dega. CL) the out side in roasting may be so quickly hardened as to retain the juices. Weslev Mills, M. D. in Popular Sci ence Monthly.
