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

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."

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.

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.

GREAT MEM SPEAK.
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.

says: "I am strongly convinced of j the
efficacy of Brown's Iron Bitters and
heartily recommend them."
We think it unnecessary to go to a doc
tor and pay him to prescribe for a common
cold. At the same time it is of the utmost
importance to pay attention to it and get
relief or evil consequences may follow.
We use Ammen's Cough Syrup. . It Sias
never failed yet to do all that i claimed
forJt, and we take pleasure in recommend
ing it to our readers. If you have not tried
this medicine, go to your druggist and ask
to see a large bottle and read the label.
Rev. J. E. C. Barham, Warrenton, N.
C, says: "I used Brown's Iron Bitters.
It is a complete restorative and a thorough
tonic and appetizer."
When is coffee like the soil ? When it is

SKI1T HUMOR.
My baby, six months old, broke out with some kind of
skin humor, and after being treated five mouths by my
family physicion was given np to die. The druggist
recommended 8wi('i Hpcciflo, and the effect was as
gratif yiag a it was miraculous. My child soon got well,
all traces of the disease i gone, and he Is as fat as a pig.
J. J. KJRKXAKD, Minden, Rusk County, Texas.
I have suffered for many years from ulcers on my legs,
often very large and painful, during which time I nsed
almost everything to-effect a cure, but in vain. I took
Hwirt's Specific by advice of a friend, and In a short time
was cured sound and well. F.dwin J. Millrr.
