Ir. Pretty mnn wits n speeliillst lit
liniiii discuses nud visiting surgeon at
h hospital.
At one of these visits the regular
house surgeon was temporarily ab
sent. Dr. Prettymitu was sitting In the
medical ollice, waiting for lilm, when
a nurse entered and told him that a
patient who was considered almost
cured and had been given the post of
cook was acting strangely. Would the
do t r go down and see hlmV The doc
tor went to the lilteheu and the nurse
to a patient who especially required
his intention.
1 r. Prettyman found the cook aloue
In the kitchen. Indeed, he had driven
every one else out. lie was a large,
muscular man. and U did not need the
doctor's practiced eye to see the light
of Insanity tu his eye. lie was stand-
litis ovr n large boiler which
was
t
filled with steaming mm p.
"Poctor." said the lunatic, "come
here and taste this soup. I fear It Is
not flavored right."
The doctor hesitated a moment, won
dering If lie had not better call assist
ance, then corn-hided to humor the pa
tient, lie went to the range. In which
there was a very hot fire. The cook
ladled out some soup, and the doctor
tasted It, burning his tongue.
"It's all right." he said.
"But. doctor, I dou't think there's
meat enough lu It. It's too thin. 1
should have more stock for It, but 1
haven't. The steward Is stingy with
his supplies. He gives me nothing, lit-
ernlly uotlli"- ultn wllll'l "
the moulhs iu this vast house. He's
putting all the money they give him
for provisions in his pocket. I wish 1
had him here. I'd chop him luto bits."
Seizing a cleaver, he braudished it
over the doctor's head, theu.went on
excitedly:
PRETTVMAN'S

Vou'll do lirsi rate. mtr bone are
small, hut there's marrow Tii them,
ami your flesh is "meaty, not fat."
Ue made a step toward the doctor.
' It might tie expected tbat the dapper
physiciau would shriek for help. He
knew only too well that this would ex
cite t tie patient and before assistance
could arrive the big cook would be
chopping him up Into soup stock, lie
kept his eye Hxed steadily on the pa
tient "Do you want your soup to retain
its llavor?" be asked.
"Crrtuiuly I do."
"Atid don't want It to laste of asa
fetidn?" "Of course not"
"Anil paracrine."
"No."
The doctor went through with a Hat
of medicines. Keeping his eye on the
door, hoping that some one might hap
pen in. Kill he was disappointed.
Those whose place was in the kitchen
purposely kept out. aud others had uo
occasion to go there. At last the doc
tor was constrained to conclude.
"Well, if you don't want your soup
to taste of these drugs I'd belter get
rid of my pocket medicine case which
conlalns them all."
He spent as much time as lie dared
fumbling for his case, the cook grow
ing impatient the while, then look it
oul. opened it. extracted one or two
corks, smelled of the hollies and put
one cf them under the cook's nose. It
contained ether. liut the doctor knew
very well that he couldn't put the luna
tic asleep wilh ether unless be could
hold il over his mouth and nose, lie
hoped to (pliet him and to gain time.
The cook thought It would Improve
the soup and with a wild laugh poured

:lt wllb .ltlH. Then he turned
! again to the doctor and seized hlni by
the arm.
Hold on a bit." said the doctor.
"Here's something else."
He took a vial from bis case marked
"Choral."
"Taste that." he said, banding it to
tbe cook.
The cook took a' swallow.
"Fine, isn't It?" asked the doctor,
breathing a sigh of partial relief.
The cook turned, threw the bottle
into the soup. I lien, again seizing the
doctor, lifted him. despite his efforts,
on to a table used for cutting meat.
Then the maniac looked about for his
clearer, which he had laid aside' while
flavoring the soup. The doctor, white
as chalk, watched him, dreading that
he might retain consciousness long
enough to make one chop. The cleaver
was within reach, but the cook did
not see it. He put his hand to his
(head, reeled and sunk to the door.
The doctor got down from the table,
wont out of the kitchen, touched an
alarm bell and went hack to the in
sensible cook. In a moment several
atle:id:itits came flying luto the room,
and when the cook cm me to himself he
was in a strait jacket In au upper
room. (!
When the dinner was served that
day in the asylum every oue com
plained of the remarkable flavor of
the soup. Fortunately, the drugs with
which it had been flavored were so
diluted that no one was injured by
j them. It turned out that tbe cook
I who finished preparing the dinner In
1 the excitement had not been Informed
.of the additions made to the soup

A Shocking Tree.
There is a peculiar tree hi the for
ests of central India which has most
curious characteristics. The leaves of
the tree are of a highly sensitive na
ture and so full of electricity that
whoever toti'-hes one of them receives
an electric shock. It has a very singu
lar effect upon a magnetic needle and
will IntlueiKO it at a distance of even
seventy feet. The electrical strength
of the trees varies according to the
time of day. it being strongest at mid
day aud weakest at midnight. In wet
weather its powers disappear alto
gether. Hirds never approach the
tree, nor have insects ever been seen,
upon It.
