A DOCTOR'S SEC09D WIFE. 1
Drl Brinsley belongs to the noble
armv of martvrs and heroes known as
"country doctors." fle was the sort of

suited her and she suited him, and they
had been very happy. It must not be
supposed that her love had been of a
cooing kind. Perhaps the doctor would
not have enjoyed that. Darling Becky
rejoiced in making, bright, spicy, impu
dent remarks to her husband. Remarks
rhich made his big brown eyes sparkle
with delight; then he would meet her
half way, and they would fight the most
interesting little duels, followed by the
most affectionate reconciliations. Bat it
was now three long years since poor
Becky bad been resting in her quiet
grave and the doctor's friends had de
cided that he needed some one to keep
house for him.
After much persnasion he had been
particularly introduced to Miss Delia
Swank "What a name!" -thought the
doctor, but as he looked at her he saw
that she was fair, gentle, healthy and 26.
"A good, sensible age; must be neat and
orderly," was his verdict. In a moment
of enthusiastic selfishness he had pro
posed td her, and in a momen of enthusi
astic devotion she had aocepted him.
They were married. She lived in his
house, she poured out his tea and coffee,
she entertained his friends, and every
body said: "Oh, how much nicer she
was than that other woman 1" She was
very popular with everybody, but she
was not at all popular with the doctor.
To him "that other woman" was still
all the world and the brightness thereof.
So homeless did he feel in the presence
of this much nicer woman that his visits
to Becky's grave were the only happy
hours of his new life. After awhile he
became more accustomed to Delia, and
then he began to give her free and fre
quent lectures on Becky. ' 'She' used to
say so and so, she used to do this and
that, and as she had been right then, she
must be right now and forever, and in
everything.
Delia had married "from a sense of
duty," and deserved to be punished; but
it seemed to her that her punishment
was greater than sbe deserved. She
would not have wished that her husband
should forget tho wife of his youth, but
she had expected that he would have
some regard for the woman he had in
vited to preside over his household, , and
she had hoped to make him comfortable;
to "do her duty' by him," as she ex
pressed it. Part of that duty she had
performed in the most admirable man
ner; never had the doctor's house been
so clean; never had his shirt bosoms
shone with such lustre; but the heart
which beat behind them ' she had been
unable to conquer.
Was it her fault? Had she not tried to
be kind, to be patient, to be meek? Yes,
but it was the trying which spoiled it all,
and she lacked the sweet boldness which
love alone can give. She was almost
afraid of that ungracious man, and she
was jealous of Becky, much loved, happy
Becky. At the end of six months of such
a life the doctor noticed that Delia
looked pale and thin. "You need a little
frsh air," he prescribed, "and I shall
take you put as often as I can." Not
without soineinward fear, but retired in
bor very best, Delia sat in the
buggy by the side of her lord. It
.'was a balmy spring afternoon, nature
looked so fresh, so bright, so
happy, that a little of this happiness
breathed itself into Delia's sad heart.
The doctor must have been touched by
these benign influences, for never before
had he been so kiod, so attentive to her,
so talkative. She smiled several times,
. twice she absolutely laughed. She sat a
little neater to him, her cheeks bloomed
and she was beginning to feel quite com
fortable, when, as luck would have it,
they happened to ride past a very small
cottage, so small that Delia said,
"Oh,
such
look! 1 wonder how people Jive in
a tiny bit of a house?"
The doctor's brow grew dark. "In
such a house as this," he said in his most
impressive manner; "in just such a
house as this my wife and I lived in the
greatest happiness when we. were first
married."
Had Delia been suddenly shifted from
India's coral strand to Greenland's icy"
mountains the shock could hardly have
been greater. "His wife!" she thought,
"then, if she is his wife, what am I?"
Peculiar reasoning, perhaps, but Delia
knew very well what she meant. AH
that evening she sat silently sewing and
answering the doctor's remarks with a
primness of dignity that surprised him.
But he asked no questions and took
refuge in thoughts of the old days when
Becky sat in that same chair, sewing,too,
but with such bright, loving looks, such
an interesting way of saying things! And
now what a difference! What, in truth,
was this woman to him? Not a wife, not
even a companion, only a housekeeper.
And he gazed at her reflectively. It so
happened that Delia, who had been mak
ing desperate efforts to overcome her
sulky mood, looked up at tint moment
and' caught the fall meaning of the
doctor's eyes. Had he slapped her face
she could not have felt it more, but she
gave no sign. With white fingers that
trembled a little she folded her work and
said: "I am tired, I will go to my room."
Delia did not Bleep much that night.
"I must leave him," she decided ut
last. "I will not live with him unless I
am really his wife. I cannot." Leave
him; but how? She could not go back to
her mother's house -where questions
would be asked which she 1 was deter
mined not to answer; and besides it was
too near. Where could she go? A, few
nours aiwrwaru inas question was
answered. She received a letter post
laarsea -uenvcr, uoioraao, it came
from "dear cousin Mamie." and as aha
read her letter Delia's face brightened;
"it is just what I wanted," she said to
herself.
One evening, when the doctor came
home, Bridget met him at the door and
said: "Missus has gone, sir; she' had to
go a kind of sudden, but she said she
would and tell you." "All right," ans
wered the doctor. ''Gone to her mo
ther's," he explained to himself . "I sup
pose there is some sort of fandango going
on there. He make himself very com
fortable. It was a cool evening, and he
smoked his cigar, put his feet on the
stove, with "no one, nigh to hinder."
But what the doctor really liked was to
be hindered; he enjoyed watching the
mild shadow of' i disapproval stealing
over Delia's face; if she had frankly and
briskly expressed her opinion, then
taken it back prettily, he might have
fallen in love with her; but Delia always
relapsed into meekness, and all was lost.
As the days passed the doctor began to
miss his housekeeper. "Why does she
not write? Cold-blooded creature!"
The oold-blooded creature wrote. Her
letter was dated from Denver. It said:
Deab Sib I thought you would be
happier without me, so I came here. I
am visiting Cousin Mamie. With best
wishes for your happiness, I remain sin
cerely, I DEMiA BBIifSIiET.
"A pretty letterand 'dear sir' to me!
Gone to Denver! ; Who could have sup
posed she had spirit enough for that?
Little goose! Gone to Denver, by Jove!"
The doctor laughed, he blessed him
self, he was delighted. The next even
ing he was on his Way to Colorado. That
same evening, in far-off, lovely Denver,
Delia and Cousin Mamie were comparing
notes about their husbands. Delia had
been very cautions and Mamie was en
thusiastic about the doctor. "If he was
my husband I would flirt with him and
make him fall desperately in love with
me," she declared.
"Flirt with him!" exclaimed Delia.
"Certainly, it would be all right, and
so intererting! Now; John is so good uat
uted, and always the same, I sometimes
wish he would be a little bit cross, just
for change." I
"What a sadly funny world this is,"
thoucht Delia when she was alone, "no
one is really contented and happy.
Then she became very homesick; not
only did she miss the doctor, but she
also missed herself, sbe had always been
so prudent, so submissive, and now she
had done such a wild, wicked thing! Had
she not promised "for better and for
worse?" i
One morning there came a tremendous
nnjr at the door. Delia knew tnat ring,
she heard it all i over her, and turned
pale. "Bound to eet in," said Mamie, as
she hurried to the door. "Is Mrs. Brins
ley in?" asked a big voice. Mrs. Brinsley
was in. She came forward smiling, rosy
cheeked, collected, transformed. She
held out her hand, she was glad to see
the doctor; she presented him to Cousin
Mamie. They sat down. "Where are
vou stopping?" i. "At the Windsor."
And she became as deeply interested in
the Windsor as if the doctor nad come
expressly for the purpose of ending his
life tbere. But Doctor I5nnsiey was not
altogether defenceless. "I came to ask
you ii yon would; take a ride with me.
rhe carriage is at the door, uome just as
you are. !
"Ohi" said Delia. And she went.
The mountains were "perfectly
magnificent", as! Delia remarked, but
the Doctor made quick work of them.
"How soon will you be ready to come
home?" he asked quietly.
"I don t know.! I intended to stay all
summer. 1 think L thinK uut sue
could not tell him what she thought
She was glad he had come; she wanted
to go back with him; she loved him now.
But did he love her? If he would only
be a little more 'gentle, more lover-Ike.
The doctor was not very gentle; his man
ner was clear-cut and decided, but if
she would only have looked at him.
"How soon will you come home.'
he repeated. VI want you to come
home."
Then, slowly, she lifted up her eyes to
his. Was this the way he used to look at
Beckv? Not quite: no one should ever
see that look again in the doctor s eyes
But Delia did not know that, and it
seemed very good to her to be looked at
in this way.
"I will go whenever you like, she
answered at last J
Then the doctor did say something
gentle and lover-like.
They were married already. JUet us
hope "they were1 happy ever afterward.

Why He Married Ber.
In the forthcoming fascinating bio
graphy of the heroic Lord , Lawrence
there is, among many anecdotes, one
eminently characteristic of the man, who
was as strong in his affection as in his
will. He was one evening sitting in his
drawing-room fit South gate, with his
sister and other! members of the family.
All were engaged in reading. Looking
up from his book, in which he had been
engrossed, he discovered that his wife
had left the room.
"Where's mother?" said he to one of
his daughters, j -
"She's upstairs." replied the girl.
He returned to his book, and, looking
up again a few minutes later, put the
same question to his daughter and re
ceived the samej answer. Once more he
returned to his reading and once more
he looked up with the same question.
His sister broke in:
'Why, really, John, it would aeem as
if you could not get on for five minutes
without your wife."
"That's why I married her," he re
plied. .;; . ;

TfaA fTnman and thft TossHs. I
The woman did not ask for co-education
in Columbia College.and that seems
to be a reason why she should have no
education in Columbia College at all.
She modestly asked to slide in at , a side
door at stated times and in stated ( ways;
but that would necessitate a new system
and a new college, and they would cost
too much. If she had wanted education
along with the man that would have been
an easy thing to refuse for precisely
what reason nobody knows, since young
men and women and old men and women
do have to associate, and there is really
no harm in the bare fact of association;
but that she should ask education in an
other shape is equally objectable for very
numerous reasons, each as wise as a
Biblical proverb.
The colleges are managed by very old
men. They are men so old that they
ought to be chalked on the back'as Noahs
or Morgan Dixes. No man or boy, no
woman or girl, should appeal in vain for
the privilege of getting an education and
paying for it. The privilege ought to be
as free to .one as another, as -are town
pumps and summer showers. There are
men who argue that ordinary persons
should not be educated above a certain
point, ; lest they improve too much and
nobody will be left to do the hard work
that is necessary to general "comfort. Of
the sam e species of logic is thj proposi
tion that men should be made wise and
women should ba kept ignorant. St.
Paul said a foolish thing as to women,
and Solomon, who respected women
merely as they officiated as concubines,
was equally unjust to the sex; and this
foolishness and this injustice have come
down to the managers oi colleges as a
sacred inheritance, without a shadow of
reason to make it sacred.
What better right has a man than a
woman to be educated? The intellect of
the one is as good as that of the other,
and , it has a right to be as good. Edu
cation is in the market, as are commer
cial and other advantages. There is a
law protecting the civil rights of negroes.
It seems to be necessary to have a law to
protect the civil rights of woman. A
man ana a woman nave equal rights in
every grocery, every dry goods store,
every place of amusement, every hotel,
so long as they, pay equal money; but
they attempt to buy an education and
the fossils of the college say that the
man's money is good, but the woman's is
not., l
Can anybody imagine anything more
unjust than this? Is it political or com
mercial or social fair play? What busi
ness have the trustees of a college to say
that this person shall have an education
and that one shall not? What business
have they to talk of the danger of inter
course between young men and women
who seek the advantages of their institu
tions i and are willing to pay for them,
any more than thev have to talk of the
danger of the intercourse that attends
the party, the ball, and the more social
gathering?
Women ask to be admitted to the Co
lumbia College, and the privilege is re
fused them! This will seem as strange
in 1900 as the fact that this country once
had slavery seems strange to us of the
present period. N. Y. Graphio

Diamonds in
Since they have discovered diamonds
in Africa, they are getting too common
on Fifth avenue to be noticed. One
young lady, reported to be young and
handsome; wears finger-ring diamonds
in her hair. A Chicago lady, staying at
the Fifth avenue, alleged to have lived
with her present husband two weeks
without getting a divorce, wears diamond
dress buttons; and even one of the col
ored waiters an African, too, right from
the mines showed me a diamond weigh
ing thirty-seven pounds, which he of
fered to sell to me in the rough for $4
a clear indication that even the Africans
don't appresiSte the treasure they have
found. ;
This morning a lady from Oil City
went into Tiffany's great jewelry store
and said she desired to purchase a dia
mond. "I understand solitaire diamonds are
the best, Mr. Tiffany," she said; "please
show me some of them."
"Here is a nice solitaire," answered
the silver-haired diamond prince; "how
do you like it?"
"Pretty well," said the lady, revolving
it in her fingers. "It shines well; but
are you sure it is a solitaire, Mr. Tiffany?"
"Why, of course, madame."
"Well, now if you will warrant it to be
a real genuine solitaire, Mr. Tiffany, I
don't mind buying it for my daughter
Julia, and. come to think," she contin
ued, as she buttoned he: six-button kid
gloves and took her parasol to leave, "if
you ve got nve or six more real genuine
solitaires just like this one, I don't mind
taking 'em all, so as to make a big soli
taire cluster for myself." y
"Yes, madame, we'll guarantee it to
be a real solitaire," smilingly replied
Mr, Tiffany, and then the head of the
house went up to his private office, and
in the presence of four hundred clerks
sat down and wrote out his official guar
antee that the diamond named was a
genuine solitaire. As the lady bore the
certificate from the big jewelry palace,
she observed to herself: "There's noth
ing like knowing you've got the real
genuine thing. It's really so satisfyin'
to be sure!"
But that evening her fiendish hus
band refused to buy the diamonds "and
then this beautiful woman," said Mr.
Tiffany,! ."all dressed up in silks and
laces, and garnet earrings cut on a bias,
sat down in the hotel parlor and had to
refuse to go to the party at Mrs. Wither
inton's becauso her jewels did not match
her polonaise!"
"Oh, dear!" said the great jeweler, and
in the fullness of his grief he poured a
coal-scuttle into a easeful of diamonds
and -watches and silver spoons, and a
basketful of diamonds and pearls and
garnets into the coal stove.

"Why dhl you shoot the soldier?" de

"I had a right to shoot him, General."
"Did he insult your wife?"
"Wussen that, General."
"Did he strike you?"
"A heap wussen that."
"What did he do?"
"Why, General, the cuss said that I
was an uneddycated man. That was
more'n I could put up with. . He hit
my . daughter with a churn-dasher, and
said that my wife was as homely as a

LARGELY. CONTRIBUTE TO THE HEALTH
Of those who consume them. After careful analy
sis and; scientific preparation a carthartic salt
was discovered which differed in many charac
teristics from any medicine now in use, and ios
sessing among others, the following enumerated
properties:
First Being a health imparting medicine.
Second An excellent, mild cathartic, no as
tringent mineral poisons entering into its coin
position. ;
Thfrd A medicine not debilitating or causing
pain, and imparting a tone to the system pro
ducing a pleasant and cheerful effect.
Fourth Being pleasant to the taste, compara
tively very inexpensive and portable, anu par
ticularly adapted for use ot travelers, as its
worth in combating the efiects on the system of
climatic changes is incalculable.
In addition to the foregoing, it is an excellent
tonic, and as such has received the unqualified
ISDOKSKVEHT OK LKADIXQ PHT8ICIAN3
Of this city, as is shown in recommendations
published in our advertising columns of this
issue. Success has crowned ths introduction of
Fruit Salt into every family where it has found
its way. Thousands there are of sedentary hab
its who have in vain sought health in patent
nostrums of doubtful reputation, who now are
assured and feel satisfied they have discovered in
the use of Slaven's California Fruit Salt a very
pleasant, safe and effective family medicine. It
produces no deleterious effects whatever, does
not debilitate or weaken the system, being ex
clusively vegetable in its composition, and en
tirely devoid of poisonous mineral properties it is
necessarily health-imparting.
The discoverer of the salino, cathartic and in
vigorating medicinal properties in California
fruits, II. B. Slaven is a skilled pharmaceutist,
and after years of careiul study as an analytical
chemist has perfected several very valuable
medicinal discoveries, which are now world
wide in their use and very popular, but none are
to be compared for intrinsic merit to the
CALIFORNIA FRL'IT SALT.
The Examiuer fully indorses all that has been
said relative to this essence of our ripe California
fruit. It is meeting with a most hearty welcome
from all portions of the coast where it has been
iutioduced. In Panama, Central America and
South America it is used very generally, its
health-giving and invigora'iong properties being
highly appreciated, particularly in the tropics.
In conclusion, we might state that as a family
medicine it is incomparable, and its use seems
invariably to bo attended with the most gratify
ing of results. It is a sovereign remedy for
headache, constipation and dyspepsia. As a
blood purifier its effects arc marked: its action
on the kidneys is an excellent one; it cleanses and
reinvigorates the liver, and toward all the organs
of the body its tendency is to restore them to a
condition of public health. Each half-pound
bottle of the Fruit Salt contains about forty doses
and its price is nominal, putting this excellent
remedy within the reach of all.
Iu fine, this discovery of II. B. Slaven is one
of the grandest triumphs of California skill, and
while it is, as he richly deserves it to be, pecun
iarily beneficial to its discoverer, it is certainly a
laurel upon the brow of our young State, being a
California discovery and manufactured entirely
from the lu.scious. ripe fruits of our Golden State,
