When Doctors Disa gree New York Medical Record. He stood by the bedside counting the pulse, counting the respirations. The 'patient was in advanced life, and was suffering from broncho-pneumonia. "One hundred and six 1 was the excla mation; "respiration thirty-six, an in- crease over last evening of ten pulsa tions and six respirations. Some slight lividity of the extremities of the fingers. Heart's action a little irregular." Dr. Blank shook his head dubiously. "Mrs. Brown is not so well to-day .n A cloud passed aver his countenance as he spoke these words; it was noticed by Jane, Thomas, and Susan. A gloomy silence followed. The Cammann binaural tube was applied to different parts of the thorax. Snbcrepitant ronchi every where; small bubbling at the bases. ."There is extensive consolidation," he said; "this dull region is stuffed "with the products of inflammation. It is a hard tug for breath with the old lady." The supreme cortical cells of Dr. Blank's cerebrum were evolving this thought: "This patient will die; I shall lose prestige in consequence ; I 6hall lose the patronage of this family." "What shall he do about treatment? . The digitalis does not seem to be working well; there is nausea. The squills, senega, and ipecac do not pro mote expectoration. There is pain in the head, and he fears that it is caused by the quinine and whisky. In doubt and uncertainty he tells them to put these medicines on one side, and writes a prescription for some carbonate of ammonia. He directs full doses of this medicament, and then, after starting for home, in his hesitation comes back and advises the family to give only half the dose prescribed. "With a heavy heart, which his countenance too plainly shows, he bids the Browns good-morn- RThat are Thomas and the Brown girls thinking abont at this time? "This man is fairly discouraged. He has done all he can. He has no confidence in his medicines. He has made a com plete change, and now is doubtful about the result of the change. He evidently thinks mother is going to die. Mother, too, is discouraged. It is time to try somebody else." Dr. Blank had hardly arrived home that morning when a messenger brought a note from the Bro jrns, stating that they had made a change ; that Dr. Blank might consider this note a note of dismissal ; thas Dr. Bluff would now take charge of the caoe. " Dr. Bluff was not in any sense a sci entific man, nor had he any skill in the selection of hi3 remedies. He stole a good many useful hints from members of the faculty and young graduates, with whom he now and then held con sultations (and with whom he always agreed), but his diagnosis was hap hazard and his treatment was hap hazard. He drove fast horses, and would bluster like an English country squire. All this gave him great popu larity. Individuals had been heard to say that they would rather have Bluff's presence in a sick-room, if he did noth ing more than talk slang, and tell them that they would be able to dance a polka in a few days, than have the most scientific college professor who would give them nauseous medicines, and tell them that their sickness was of a very grave nature. Dr. Bluff was ushered into the room w iv v -r t rrn j : 01 me sick. iurs. xruwn. iua tuaguoius and the fearful prognostications of poor Dr. Blank were turned to ridicule. There was nothing the matter with Mrs. B., only "a little stuffing" in the chest. He "would clear out those pipes in less than no time." Whisky and milk and his white emulsion of ammoniacum wa3 all that was necessary. In less than half an hour the vocabulary of banter and current slang was exhausted. The sick woman was a ''daisy," a "blooming rose of Sharon," and a "gay old gal." She had not "got through her sparking" yet-, and "if the present Mrs. Bluff should ever be taken off he would im prove his opportunity," etc. As for dying "fiddlesticks! she cannot die with that pulse." He would "have her out of that bed scrubbing the kitchen floor before a week." ' It is needless to say that the Browns were all delighted with the assurance and the jocoseness of their new family physician, whose encouraging words rallied them to renewed efforts to pro long their parent's existence by often repeated potions of whisky and milk. .'It is worthy of note, too, that the patient herself for a while felt the in vigorating stimulus of a new hope. Although the final result was as Blank predicted, yet there always was a feel ing on the part of the Browns that if Bluff had been called a little earlier the result would have been different. TAILORING TO-DAY. New York Sun Interview. ."Tailoring is now an easier business than it was when I began here twenty years ago," said a Broadway tailor de cisively. "I have just begun to realize what Americans want. The taste of the age has changed. There was a time when a patron by which I mean a cus tomer wanted good clothes. He didn't kick much if the fit was not very good, but wanted tip-top cloth. The suit that wore the longest pleased him best. But after a while I noticed that a change was setting in. That change is now the fixed fashion. Men no longer exhibit particular care about the quality and texture of the goods. What they want is a stylish fit. Not a good fit, mind you, but a stylish one. If we cut a patron's clothes after the prevailing mode he is satisfied. A thin or crooked legged man with a long waist ought to have roomy trousers and a coat with rather a short skirt. If we clothed him after that style he would look well, but he wouldn't take the clothes. So we make skin-tight trousers that make his legs look weak, and a long-tailed coat that makes him look ridiculous, and he is happy. He will surd? come back to us for his next suit if we make him what he thinks is a stylish suit." FISH NOT BRAIN FOOD. New York Sun. Sir Henry Thompson, the London surgeon, recognizes in fish a combina tion of all the elements of food that the human body requires in almost every phase of life, more especially by those who follow sedentary employment. To women he considers fish to be an ii valuable article of diet, but he scouts as a complete fallacy the notion that fish eating increases the brain power. "The only action fish had on the brain was to put a man's body into proper rela tions with th woTk h had to do." The ence lamou troe of Cherokee Indians is now reduced to about 1,000 persons, and they suffer a steady decrease. FRIGHTENED TO DEATH, A LESSON TO RECKLES8 DIS CK1PLIX ASI ANS OF THE XTJRSERT. Arkansaw Traveler. Few' people seem to properly estimate the great wrong of frightening children. Nearly every household has its "ugly old mun," or its "great old bear." This . terrible old man and this great old bear are powerful factors in nursery discip line. "Come along here now," a mother or nursa will say to a : child, "and lei me put you to bed." "I don't want to go now," the child replies. You'd bet ter come on here now, or . Ill tell that ugly old man to come and take you away. There he comes now." This has the intended effect, and - the child, trembling in fear, submits at onoe and goes to bed, probably to see in imagin ation all kinds of horrible faces. The sod death of a little girl, which occurred recently, shows what a strong impression these "boogers" make on the minds of children. The little girl was a beautiful child, and everyone at the fashionable boarding-house where her parents were spending the summer months loved her with that purity of affection which a child so gently yet so strongly inspires. She would stand at the gate and clap her. little hands in ' glee when her father came to dinner, and when he would take her on his shoulder, she would shout and call to everyone to look how . high she was. One day a large, shaggy dog came into the yard, and when she ran to him and held a flower to his nose, he growled and turned away. She was terribly frightened, and the black nurse, who stood near, was not slow in making a mental note of the impression the dog had made. Several nights afterwards, when bed time came, the child was un usually wakeful. "Yer'd better come heah on' git in dis bed," the nurse commanded. "I don't want to." "All right, den. Tse gwine out an' call dat ole dog what growled at yer. When he comes an' fin's yer outen de bed, he'll bite yer head off." The little girl grew deathly pale. "Xuthin would suit dat dog better den ter git a chance at yer. Tother night he cotch a little girl across de road an' eat her all up." . The child screamed. "Come on here den, an' I won't let him ketch yer." The poor little thing obeyed. Her father and mother were at an entertain ment and there was no appeal from the negro woman's decision. When morn ing come the little girl did not awake with her glad "good mornin' papa an mamma." She had tossed all night and a hot fever hod settled upon her. She grew rapidly worse, and the next day the physician declared that there was no hope for her. ' She became de lirious, and struggling would exolaim : "Dog shan't have mamma's little girl!" m ; It was a sorrowing circle that sur rounded her death bed. . The parents were plunged into a grief which none but the hearts of fathers and mothers can feel. Her last moments were a series of struggles. How hard the beautiful can die. She wildly threw up her little hands and shrieked : . "Go away, dog!" A gentle hand wiped the death froth from her lips. Again she struggled and shrieked: "Dog shan't have " but she died ere the sentence was finished. HENRY MILLER 8 LUCK. California Eye. - Nestled close by the saloon at Qrand Forks, in the very heart of the peaks of the Sierras, was the home of Henry Miller, a brother of Joaquin Miller. He had a very sensible woman for a wife, who bore him a beautiful son. When the child was three weeks old, Mr. Miller, in a waggish way; told the "boys" he had "struck it rich," and had at that very time a nugget at his house that weighed twelve pounds. If any of them doubted his word, they could call at the house at any time and be con vinced. In a few minutes a delegation of miners filed out of the saloon and made a stright line for Miller's home. They were very courteously received by Mrs. Miller, who listened to the story of their errand, and with a twinkle in her eyes, concluded to keep up the joke. The speaker of the party be gan : , "They tell us, Mrs. Miller, that your husband has struck it rich." "Indeed he has," replied Mrs. Mil ler. '"Has he pre-empted his claim ?" "I think he certainly has." "What price docs he ask for his mine?" "I really don't think he would take a cool million for it." "Is the specimen very fine ?" "Indeed, it is more precious than dia monds to me." "Let us see it, will you?" "Certainly," said Mrs. Miller, as Ishe advanced to the cradle and lifted out a handsome twelve-pound boy, and exhib ited it to the astonished gaze of the good-hearted but puzzled miners. They took the joke very good-naturedly, and laughing heartily left the house without a very ceremonious leave-taking. Mackay, the millionaire, was one of the duped miners. How It Happened. New York News. "The way dot happened was dis," said the host : "Fred Weitner, he took from his trunk a German navy pistol about so long," measuring about three feet with his hands," and said he had killed about one hundred Frenchmans with it. Swenson asked him if it was loaded, and he said it was not. . Bang went dot gun, and Mrs. Kolb said she was shot, und Fred cried 'Mein Gott' und ran down stairs with all hands. Dot's all."

A Development. The question concerning an operatic performance in New York it gradually developing from "How wa tho uiaaii?" into "How much capital did tho audi ence represent?" A Korweglan Carriage. - Cor. San Francisco Chronicle. '. " . There were ft few other carriages on the route as we passed, but the favorite mode of traveling seemed to be by cariole, a vehicle which, as far as I know, is indigenous to this country, and the use of which is not likely, I should imagine, to extend. The cariole is a sort of a cross between a sulky and a buckboard, and is a little more uncom fortable than either. It consists of a pair of wheels and of a pair of shafts attached to the wheels at one end and to a horse at the other. Upon the afore said shafts, between the axle and the horse's tail, is poised what looks bike a small boat, not sufficiently wide for a man of broad beam to squeeze himself into comfortably and yet so wide that one of elipper build must necessarily wobble about. The legs of the occu pant in either case hang out and find a precarious resting place either upon the shafts, adjacent to the flanks of the horse,, or in two steps let down there from, while the extremities of the shafts, which project behind the wheels, have a slip f board nailed across them, which serves either as a resting place for a valise or a seat for an attendant horseboy. ' . It is in conveyances of this kind that a great port of the traveling in Norway is accomplished. You hire your cariole for so many dpys or weeks and journey along, finding relays of horses, or rather ponies, at the different post stations, distant six te ten miles from each other. The charge for these quadrupeds is moderate about 5 or C cents a mile but they ore for the most part sorry animals, and there is not much pleasure in sitting behind them. One pair of little horses, on the other hand, were excellent, and they rattled down hill a little too fast. It is a remarkable pecu liarity in this hilly country that they use no brakes to their carriages, and yet thev trot down steep gnades as fast as their horses can lay legs to the ground. It is the system of training, I suppose, that renders this safe, but any other than a Norwegian horse would most assuredly come to grief if driven down a steep hill at the pace they drive down hills here with a brakeless car riage crowding on his heels, Cariosities Concerning; the Thumb. An article on "Thumb Lore" in the current number of The Antiquary in itiates us in all the legends which have been formed of the thumb. We are told that "in the remotest days of antiquit" among Goths, Iberians and Moors the licking of the thumb was regarded as a solemn pledge or promise. Another eustom of even greater grace and ele gance was common in Scotland, where among the. lower classes bargains were concluded by "licking and joining of thumbs." But the same ceremony was not always and everywhere a sign of agreement or a form of business; lick ing or biting the thumb was often a challenge, as in "Borneo and Juliet," or as in Decker's "Dead Term," an act to "beget quar rels." Sir Walter Scott also alludes to it in this sense, aiid many stories are told where the bitting of the thumb, or even of the glove, caused de.'.th and destruction. Kissing the thumb was regarded as a sign f servility, the eere mony being performed at interviews f tradesmen with superior customers. The important part which the emper or's thumbs played in the days of glad iators is well known; not so, perhaps, the Chinese custom, which still pre vails, to prffseive an impression of the thumbs of criminals, by which, the thumb is said never to change in its formation and other characteristics malefactors are identified on future committal. The Antiquity of Sareotlen. New Orleans Picayune. The plants which produce narcotic and stimulating effect were in the earli est times sacred plants, used in the worship of the gods, while their sooth ing or exhilarating effects were known only to the privileged classes of the royal and priestly orders. . The priest esses of Apollo, under the inspiration of the juice of the poppy, delivered their oracles and prophecies. The Hindoo seers, drunk with bhang, saw visions of the divine Nirvana and held communication with the spirits of their dead ancestors. The American Indian smokes the pipe of peace and burns the sacred tobacco to appease the anger of the Great Spirit. Finally, in the course of ages, those mysterious and sacred plants the poppy which produces the opium ; the cannabis indica, or Indian hemp, which yields the hasheesh, or bhang, and the American tobacco be came the inheritance of the common people, who found in them a solace, an exhilaration, transports, and bliss which, if they are not divine, have in them at least a touch of olysium when they can make the wretch forget his miseries and the sufferer his pangs. There is no record, not even a tradi tion, that shows when these magical plants that medicine so cnany ills and produce so many others began to be used. They come down from the ear liest antiquity, and when they first ap peared they were always associated with the religion of the people among whom they were found. Tobacco, however great its import ance and almost universal its use, is not the only one of the3e sacred plants which America has given to man. The most singular in its properties and potent in its effects, if the least known to the publio, is the Peruvian plant, the coca. Under its influence men are ca- f able of undergoing the most arduous abors and bearing up under the most extraordinary privations, going for days without food or sleep, and yet performing what would be otherwise exhausting exertions. An Awfnl Thing tn the Soup. Cincinnati Saturday Night It was at a church oyster supper; the merriment was at its height, when sud denly an appalling shriek from the pastor's study (the kitchen) rent the air. Confusion worse confounded reigned supreme, when a bevy of erst while beauties rushed frantically with disheveled hair and distorted features into the room. "What is it? what is it?" eagerly demanded the trembling guests. "This is the matter," said one of the girls, who, more bold than, the rest, had forked out of the soup a slimy thing, whioh she bore gallantly aloft. "This awful thing was in the Beup." It was an oyster. A Frank Admission. Cleveland Leader. A newly married lady was telling an other how nicely her husband could write. "Oh, you should just see some of his love letters."

The proprietors of the article to which attention is directed in this column, firmly believe that there Is nothing unbusiness like or unprofessional In giving the widest publicity, by means of newspaper adver tising and otherwise, to articles of un questioned merit, whether of a medicinal or other nature. They furthermore be lieve that the objection occassionally urged by some people against advertised prepara tions, is born of dishonesty, rather than of unprejudiced judgment. Fully convinced of their article's marvel ous efficacy, as demonstrated in millions and millions of homes in every land and clime, they unhesitatingly offer it to the public in every civilized country, as the most wonderful preparation of its kind ever . discovered ; and they do this by methods which they hold to be not only business-like and honorable, but in every way right and proper. Believing that a medicine, like a man, is best judged by its action and endorsements, they present herewith the unqualified testimonials of men eminent in public and private life, all over the world. It must readily appear to every fair-minded man that neither favor, influence nor money could purchase the unrestricted approval of the distinguished personages, whose positive convictions are here given. Nothing but unexampled merit on the part of the article in question and a full realization of the claims ad--vanced in its favor, could call forth such unanimous and enthusiastic praise. It is this intrinsic merit that has caused the term "St. Jacobs Oil" to become synony mous with the words: "It Conquers Pain," in the homes of over one hundred and fifty millions of people in the new world and the old. The public, will please note that the names given are those of well-known, re sponsible parties. These are not silent fitnesses. Their statements are positive and unqualified. They are nineteenth century facts. The parties whose testi mony is given are all alive. No grave yards have been robbed to swell the list.
