Mrs. Van Bryck was a -widow who lived on Ninth street in tho city of Philadelphia and kept a hoarding-house for medical students. Harry Brings- a Virginian, and Char ley Dyer, from New Jersey, both ma triculants, occupied the third-story front room. Examinations over, the two friends were congratulating them selves upon having passed creditably. '"I feel a strange sensation of delight a disposition to grasp my own hand and congratulate myself individually. I am huppy Harry." "Happy! I would not exchange my fee-lags, Charley, fur all all Ninth street. We are doctors now. "Yet I feel honest sorrow, too. and a shadow steals ovr my spirit, but to tell the truth. I would not resign my di ploma now and return another winter for all Widow Van Blyck is worth daughter and all. "And I feel that I could sit at the feet of our professors and never weary listening to their words of instruction." What, a drone in the busy hive of lif.-V "So, not that, but I distrust myself. I know as yet comparatively nothing about medicine. A little of the theo retical; nothing, surely of the practi cal." "What shall we ever know, pray, so long as we are students?" "We need experience before we enter the world." "And we are going to get tills ex perience by keeping out of the world; going to be practitioners without prac tice?" "Tho btter a man's preparation the better his reception." 'Not always, though that is more to Hie point than the last. We have laid the foundation here; we will enter the world and rear the superstructure." "Would that we had the talisman of success. This is my sketch of life. A cheerless oflice, a lonely spirit, :i weary waiting, an inglorious existence, an unwept death. Thus endeth the as pirations and endeavors of an honest heart." 'We have the talisman of success, Harry. We have willing hands, strong hearts, noble purposes. What more want we?" "Yes. we have these, but these fail, sometimes. Empiricism often holds medical science at a discount. Quacks flourish and educated doctors starve." "Nonsense. If there is no way, make one make one." "Make a pass through the Rocky Mountains, won't you?" "Yes, if everything else fails, I will. Study the character of the people among whom 3-ou settle, gain their con fidence, and then you are established beyond a doubt." Well said. Charlie, but what card do you propose leading first?" "The queen of hearts." "Ha. ha! rich. I declare." "Listen. 1 settle In a town of H.000 Inhabitants. T have a letter of recom mendation to the most influential mem bers of the same.

"True, and there are hundreds of marriageable daughters in eligible places, I doubt not." "Well, try your plan, and know your overestimate of human nature. At all events it will not do for me." "Why?" "I am engaged alreadv." "I did not know that,Harry." "But I did. Engaged to an angel of a girl with laughing eyes, and rosy cheeks, and merry heart." "Eight o'clock! I have an encace- ment. So saying, the philosopher arose emptied the contents of his meerschaum arranged his disordered locks, and bade his chum "good night," with: "You marry your angel girl and I will marry ray queen of hearts." "To let;" the words were printed In largo letters and posted on a modest shop In the center of an inland town in New York state. One day thc placard was taken nwar. The shutters of this shop were opened, windows were washed, and shelves cleaned. Bright carpets were introduced, cozy chairs were brought and the 20x20 room looked bright and pleasing in its new spring dress. Passers-by glanced and saw rows of suspicious-looking bottles neatly arranged and prettily labeled, saw inortor, and pestle, and spatula, and diminutive weights, saw a tall, finely formed, cm-bryo-mustnehed gentleman. Bv and by the tall finely, formed figure opened tho door and tacked upon the same his gilded placard: : CHARLES DYER, M. D. : The first day was a long one. The young doctor's solitude was undisturlv ed full liberty had he to smoke his "Havana" and speculate on the proba bilities of a living practice. What visions he saw through the floating, curling smoke visions of a gilded chariot, flaming steeds, regal char ioteer, silken robes, palms of victorv. The smoke clears a little and the vision changes. He sees nothing but a care worn man leaning oved an oaken staff gazing Into a deep-dug grave. The doctor starts at the vision, consults his "repeater." finds it jut the hour of tea. closes his office, and hastens away to his boarding-houe. So ended the first official day of Charles Dyer. M. D. Day follows day--a week" is fled a month is gone. Two months have passed and still the doctor, morning, noou and night, wails, waits, waits. It is Saturday evening the light bums dimly in ihe little ottice and casts a shade of sadness over its lonely occupant. He soliloquizes: "If there is no way. make one make one." "Make a pass through the Rocky mountains, won't you?" answered the spirit of Iris old friend. Dr. Henry Briggs. "Where is Harry to-night?" lie won dered. "A knock aroused him from his thoughts. "To Judge Erriek's immediately, doc tor. The young ladv, the eldest daugh ter, is ill." The doctor went with speed and found the daughter ill indeed, but a prompt treatment, founded ujon a cor rect diagnosis, soon -ifforded relief. Mary was 1!) a Helena, in truth and yet admired not so much for her spark ling beauty as her nobleness of soul, her refinement of mind, her profundity of intellect. Judge Errick was the most influential aud wealthy man in S . No sur prise, then, that Dr. Dy" cougrntuhrV ed himself again and again upon his success: no surprise that lie faithfully attended this, his first case, and upon J the restoration of health continued, par excellence, an acquaintance and friend ship commenced in the chamber of sickness. W-mT ,i . y luriunaie. u , Judge Ernck could trust an inexperi-jr- It was fortunate: vey fortunate. If enced doctor, then might all S do so. Dr. Dyer's reputation wa.' estab lished beyond a doubt. Day ard night did he minister to the needs of the suffering. An accurate diagnosticator, a skillful practitioner, a polished gentleman! It was Wednesday evening. One year had passed away, and the doctor, weary with arduous duties, rlts In his office. He leans back In his easy ehair and talks thus with himself: "Eight hundred dollars the first year! I am satisfied more than satisfied. One thing only remains to complete my happiness. I must marry. I can never marry any one but her. Mary Errick. Long ago I knew I told Harry Briggs I should marry into an influential fam ily. I will truly. The matter shall be settled to-morrow." At noon upon the following day Dr: Dyer returned to his oflice. A note awaited him. It was an invitation to dine at Judge Erriek's. "Good!" laughed he to himself. "I will throw the dice now and know whether 1 win or loos'." So saying he arranged his dress with scrupulous precision and wended his way to the suburban dwelling of the judge. "I need hardly introduce you to Dr. Briggs," said Mrs. Errick, leading the way to the parlor: "he informs me that you are friends already." "Friends!" exclaimed Charley in a breath, pressing the other's hands, "we are more than friends. ' "And you, Harry, de novo." "In a few wonR T returned from Europe last week. I have ben, as you may know, surgeon on shipboard. My long absence is due to this. S is my 'Mecca r " "But how do you know the judge?" "Are you ignorant, Charley. Did you hear nothing last evening?" "Nothing, I do assure you." "I will excuse your non-congratulations, then. I am married." "Married?" "Yes." "And this is your wedding tour?" "You are stupid. Charley. I came here to marry. Do you understand?" "No. Your wife's name?" "Marv Errick." "Mary Errick. Mary " "This is my angel girl. You remem ber your conversation at Mrs. Van Bryck's." "Yes, well do I remember it." "The 'Queen of Hearts,' Charley, have you turned the card yet?" "No, Harry, no." "You seem sad. I repeat that you were not present last evening. I was not aware that you were within f00 miles. Dr. Dyer's name was casually mentioned this morning. I inquired into the matter and found the said doctor none other than my old friend." "I have been in S one year one year; never dreamed that you were courting Mary never dreamed it. You have won a prize she is an angel. But I must go." "Wait, you came to dine with us." "No; business is imperative. Good morning." What a change in feeling fifteen nn utes have wrought! Then hope gilded the present with sunshine, aye, cast its rays into the faraway future aud all was bright; now a cloud gathers it increases the sun goes out and the same faraway future is enveloped in the blackness of darkness. Dr. Briggs aud his lady left S im mediately. Years passed aw.iy fifteen years passed away. Dr. Dyer had changed changed in appearance, changed in prospects, changed in character. He has grown old and drink has been his curse. One Saturday the sexton of St. Paul's church had just finished digging a grave. It was a deep grave, and the man stood looking down into it. A carriage passes the half-open gate and rolls swiftly along the graded street. "Who is it?" asked the man, turning to look after the carriage. "What?" asked the sexton. "Oh, it is Dr. Briggs and his wife. They do say that Dr. Dyer the one this grave is dug for was in love with the lady years ago, and the disappointment drove him to drink. Anyway, it's his funeral this afternoon." New York Sunday Mercury. THIRD-STORY CHlCKEN-FARM. A FuII-Fleiljred Ranch Carried on In a Montana City IlIocU. People passing the Realty block with in the past few days, says the Ana conda Standard, have been attracted by a novel sight in the window of one of the vacant storerooms. In a slip How wooden box, less than three feet square, their downy bodies in constant motion and their shrill pipings sounding even through the glass, are seventy-two chicken?, apparently as happy as If they were in a barnyard under the care of a bustling hen. The box is a "brooder" and is the only mother that the seventy two fluffy youngsters have eve" known, and in it they have lived for the week that they have been alive. Prompted by curiosity a reporter sought out Mrs. Childs, the landlady of the building, to learn if possible whether or not she intends to start a poultry ranch in a three-story brick block in the city, and if she is, to learn how she proposes to run it. Mrs. Childs di moustrated very easily that she knows what she is doing, and that she can do it success fully. She has started to raise broilers for the market and intends to do it iu her block. Mrs. Childs' apartments are on the third story and in cue of her rooms she has two iucubators, one con taining 100 eggs and tho other 200. Here the chickens are hatched, and as soon as they get the use of their legs they are transferred to ihe brooder and taken to the basement, which has been divided into pens of convenient size. Here they live in the brooder until they are two weeks old, when they are placed in the pens and are al lowed to run about and grow. And how they do grow in the warm room and what a noise they make with their incessant piping. When they are eight or nine weeks old they are ready for market. Hamnn Resemblance to Animal. There is a very curious point con nected witli the more pronounced ani-n-al faces namely thoe in charge of aiiiinals gtow to be like them. Thus, a hostler in charge of tram-way horses has himself a fine Roniiu-uosd horse type af head, growing day by day more like his horses. Men in charge of cattle on the farm become essentially bovine and iu Shropshire it has often been remarked that the sheep breeders resemble their own rams. I cannot explain these singularities, which, how ever, are wholly or partly true. The sheep type of man is not indicative of great intelligence aud it is usually found In remote agricultural districts. The bulldog character in man denotes courage without refinement, but in the J case of a lady like her favorite pug- I dog with nez retrousse, the rellne nunt was not wanting. The Eskimos i or Lapps in the water are so like seals j that a man has ben shot in error, the wistful expression of countenance be ing common in both, as the head only appears at the surface of the water. I have seen a comfortable-looking bear man in the train and a wizened, bat faced old woman once in Brittany. rail Mall Gazette. Another Objection.

A Feir Important Rales that Should b Observed Tile Drains Recommended Suggestions as to the Construction of the Undcrdrains. By J. J. W. Ltlilinpsley. Editor of the Drain age Journal. Among those who have given the sub ject of road improvement careful atten tion there is a settled conviction that the good condition of any road depends upon a system of thorough drainage. A system which embraces not only the removal of the storm water which falls UDon the surface of the road and the land adjoining, but also the water which filters through the ground. The latter, if allowed to percolate into and through the subsoil underlying the roadbed, will render the travelway soft and springy, often affecting the com pact surface of the road so as to cause it to break up, or in other words, "the bottom drops out." In fact, the basis of all road improve ment in this country, is the thorough drainage of the road surface and the foundations of the roadbed. In the experiments which have been made in road drainage by laying one or two lines of tile drains along the sides and parallel with the road, the result has been so satisfactory that some persons have become enthused with this method of road improvement and conclude that in it there is a remedy for all the defects which may be en countered. But we are convinced that the best improvement of our highways will combine at least three essential fea tures which are: First. A road embankment of sufli cient height to be at least above over flow from extraordinary rainfalls and sufficiently crowning to shed water readily and wide enough to accomodate the travel and not of greater width. Second. That the road shall have open ditches on each side of sufficient capacity to carry all flood water from the roadway and from the lands ad joining into the nearest water course. The surface or open ditches should have such a perfect grade that no water will find a lodgment along the line of the road on cither side. Tiiird. That two lines of tile drains bo placed parallel with the road, one on each side, at the base of the em bankment. The undcrdrains should be laid at the depth of three or more feet. The size of the tile will depend on the length of the drain and the fall, but it is probable that they should not be less than four inches in diameter in any case, and as much larger as the needs may require. The three essential features named embrace two systems, one the removal of the surface water speedily and ef fectually, the other the removal of the water of saturation remaining after the removal of surface water and the pre vention of the flow of soil water under the roadbed. The undcrdrains should have a uni form descent or grade to some natural stream or outlet where the water dis charged wiil flow away freely and at no time back tip in the drain. The crowning of the road should be sufficient to cause the water falling upon the surface of the road to How readily to the side ditches. If it fails to flow away and remains in the ruts and depressions it will increase the amount of mud and the inconvenience of travel. Roads in such a condition should have road machines passed over them as often as necessary to make the surface level. It is a mistaken idea that an under drain laid in the middle of the road will drain the surface of tiie road. The travel and the action of the water fall ing upon the road will so effectually puddle the surface that no water on the road will find its way down to the drain thus laid. To the contrary, the horse tracks and ruts will hold water like earlhern vessels, until it is removed by evaporation or otherwise. Roads graded and drained aspfoposed will cost from four to five hundred dol lars per mile, but when done they will be good roads for eleven months and commendably passable the remainder of the year, with a little timely repair. here gravel and stone are not to be had at a reasonable cost we know of no improvement so satisfactory in all respects as ihe road well graded and sufficiently drained. Where gravel or broken stone can be had, it will be found that the thorough drainage of the road, as proposed, will save half the gravel or stone that would otherwise be required to make a good road. A dry foundation to build upon is the most important factor in road construc tion. Tile drains may be used to intercept water percolating through the earth of the higher ground adjacent and likely to interfere with the road, or springs or scepy places under the roadbed may be drained out with tile so as not to inter fere with the embankment. It may be found advisable at some points along the line of the drains to till in above the tile with gravel or sand a few feet, so that the surface water may pass down freely into the underdrain to prevent its accumula tion where it is likely to affect the road embankment. After a road has been put in good condition and thoroughly underdrained nothing need be done except a little timely repair in the way of keeping the surface smooth and the open ditch es free from any drift accumulation. Road drainage has passed the experi mental stage. The benefits have been fully proven. The success of the im provements depends upon the thorough ness of the work. A few suggestions as to the construc tion of the undcrdrains may be help ful in this connection. One of the most important features of a good drain is a desirable grade, one free from depres sions below or rises above a true grade line. These conditions, it has been re marked, are never secured without ef fort. Slight depressions will fill with silt sooner or later, and so far destroy the efficiency of the drain. The tile should be laid in a trench carefully fitted for them, and so care fully settled in their bed that the fill ing of the ditch will not displace them and the joints should be closely joined. and if any difficulty is experienced with ' quicksand the covering of joints with clay will prevent any trouble from this source. In conclusion we remark that no more important duty lies before ns to day, the effect of which will be more widely felt, than that of giving ma-' terial aid and to otherwise encourage the permanent improvement of our pub-' lie highways "Are you going toRIobbs' wedding-.'" asked Morehead.

Mr. Jasper, of Richmond, who believes that "the sun do move," is the author of an original and unique explanation of the story of Jonah and the whale. It is as follows: "Dat country war a seashore, an' de hotels dey was named after de tings of de sea. Dah was de Sailors' Rest, de Mariners' Retreat, de Seafaring Man's Home an' a lot of sich places, jest as yo' kin fin' 'cm at Norfolk now. Among dese places was one called de Whale's Belly. Jonah come along, an' he didn't hab no scrip in his purse. He stayed dar tree days an' when de land lady found he didn't hab any money she spewed him out.

A slight printer's mistake in the Paris Bottin, or Directory, lias led an unfor tunate man to commit suicide. He car ried on business in the Rue du Fau bourg, St Martin. As he was looking through the book he thought he would see if his own name and address were given. To his surprise he found he was described as "madame" and a widow. Without losing any time he rushed round to the place where the directory is printed to give instructions for an alteration to be made in the new edi tion, but, arriving there he was told he had come too late, as the work had gone to press. Returning home he locked himself in his bedroom and blew his brains out with a revolver. It ap pears that he had been suffering from the hallucination that he was being persecuted by everybody.

It is a great mistake for people who can at all afford to spend liberally to practiee economy in hard times. On one occasion during the second empire, when there was a great financial de pression. Louis Napoleon commanded his ministers to open their houses and entertain profusely, and the court cir cles, taking the hint, began such a round of gayety that trade revived, while the manufacturers, plucking up courage, opened their mills, and a crisis was averted. Spending is as much a duty with the rich as saving is with the poor, and it takes both attributes to make a prosperous community. Deafness Cannot Be Cared By local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, tmd that Is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tute. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im perfect hearing, and when it Is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam mation can be taken out ami this tube re stored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces.

Shakespeare has been a mine of wealth to authors in choosing titles to their books. Tersely descriptive are "The Quality of Mercy," "A Woman's Reason," "A Modern Instance," "The Undiscovered Country," which W. D. Howclls found in the great dramatist. Mrs. Oliphant remembered her Shake speare when she named one of her novels "The Primrose Path."' Mr. Hardy must have been reading "As You Like It" when he called his book "Under the Greenwood Tree."' Other writers have taken "Airy, Fairy Lil lian,' "A Daughter of the Gods" and "The Heir of the Ages" as titles from Tennyson. Journal of Education.

Wild Hogs in Plenty. In man- places in the tule lands in the vicinity of Suisan, Cal.. wild hogs, as ferocious and tenacious of life as the boar of the German forests, may be en countered by the sportsman who likes a spice of danger in his hunting, says , the New York Evening Post One of . these beasts, shot recently, from the tip of the snout to mcasurco the root of the tail more than six feet and had 1 tusks fourteen inches in length. Its weight, although it had no superfluous ilesh. was 420 pounds. Thc skin at the shoulders was three inches thick and tough as leather. It was reported that hogs had been running will in the marshes for a long time and that they were savage enough to furnish better sport than some other animals that are supposed to be dangerous. A party was formed to kill a particu I lar boar that had been roaming the I tulcs laud for several years in spite of the efforts of local hunters to bring ' him to baj The tracks of the boar was found, and he was tracked to a patcli of dense reed grass. The hunters invaded it from different points, and one of them suddenly came upon the i animal. His companions heard the re- ' ' port of his gun, and the next instant saw thc man s body thrown m the air fully ten feet. Going to his rescue a second hunter was charged by the boar. One shot brought him to his knees, but even then he rose and rushed on his assailant again. A second ball pene trated the brain and he rolled over dead. The man who was thrown into the air was not seriously injured, but received bruises which a considerable time. laid him up for liegeman's Camphoric with Glycerine. The original and only ccnuinf.

Decorating eggs is an Easter amuse ment, and it is a good plan to save the empty egg-shells for this purpose some time beforehand. One way to prepare them for children is to break a small opening at each end and blow the con tents; then fill with-very small candies and paste a gilt or a silver star over the openings. Be sure to allow the inside of the egg to dry thoroughly before filling. Other eggs may have laughing or frowning faces sketched on them. The eggs are pretty when placed in a little inexpensive basket before being pre sented on Kaster morning. Mothers will take pleasure in preparing some edible esrgs. Have the emotv shells ready with but a small bit b.-oken from the ends, and set them on end in oats or something that will keep them up right. Next make a quart of simple corn-starch blanc-mange and fill two or more shells. r Now take a part of the mixture and frlr, tt u'tth caffmn on1 fl?nTi f with icmon extract; fill more shells with i ,i,:c ,:..4 ,i : . , .-...-..i.

Harrison's Monthly Magazine. What is the oldest table in the world? The multiplication table. Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as. they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney disease, another irom nervous exhaustion, or prostration. another with pain here and there, and in this way they all present, alike to themselves pa their easy-going and indifferent, orover- busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases. ior wnicn he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, then are all only symptoms caused by somo womb disorder. Tno physician, ignorant of the cause of offering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. Tho s'lfTeriug Eatient gets no better, but probably worse y reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper medi cine, like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause would have entire! v removed tho disease, thereby dispelling all laose uisiressing symptoms anu instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery. The lady whose portrait heads this article is Mrs. Ida Coventry, of nuntsville, Logan County, Ohio. She had an experienco which we will permit her to relate in her own language.

Tho family physician was treating mo for 'liver complaint'. I did not get any better under that treatment so I thought I would try Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and bis 'Golden Medical Dis covery. I felt better before I used one bottle of each. I continued their use until I took six bottles of each. In three months' time I felt so well I did not think it necessary to take any mora In childbirth it does what Dr. Pierce recommends it to do lessens the pain and perils to both mother and child and shortens ' labor '. I would liko to recommend Dr. Pierce's Extract of Smart TVeed to those who have never tried it ; it urelv is the best thing for cholera morbus, or pain in the stomach I ever used ; it works like a charm.
