MARTIN & SANDERS
6, 1889.
Personal anil Pertinent.
—
And now Elliott F. Shephard is after
the minion to China. Well, that coun­
try is a little further away than Russia.
Mrs. Harrison recently remarked that
if a woman loves the society of her hus­
band she should never encourage him to
become a public man.
The fact that Queen Victoria has taken
to whisky by the advice of her physician
is interesting. She avoids Irish whisky,
of course.
Senator Ingalls has been honored by
war veterans for his civil record. His
senatorial colleagues will never decorate
him for his civil tongue.
Mabone, Quay, Dudley, Platt, Clark­
son and other “statesmen'’ of the repub­
lican party assure Secretary Rusk that
the clover crop is promising.
There is at least one funny police
judge in Philadelphia. His name is
Smith, and he sent’ Mr. Sault to prison
with the remark that Sault was “too
fresh.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox is devoting her­
self almost entirely to prose writing.
She says the nervous strain composing
poetry is too great. The nervous strain
of reading it is not small either.
Francis Wilson was introduced recent­
ly to a gushing girl who asked him if he
would like to be an “Oolah” in reality.
“Not while it pays so well to be one in
fiction,” he answered at once.
Gen. Malione recently poked fun at
Warner Miller in Washington for “fall­
ing outside the breastworks.” It is just
possible that Miller may have the op­
portunity very soon to return the taunt.
The owner of a patent medicine which
is declared to be a remedy for nearly all
the “ills’that flesh is heir to” is a woman
in Brooklyn, N. Y., who is such an in­
valid that she has not been out of her
room for tweuty-three years.
Amelie Rives-Chanler, since she aban­
doned literature for art, is said to have
used her own figure as the model for her
sculptored productions, posing in front
of a mirror. They do say that her figure
is prettier than her imagination used to
be. •
A woman in New England goes to a
town and takes the name of some influen­
tial citizen and claimB relationship, and
the first move the man makes is to give
her from $300 to $1,000 to get out of town
and go hence. She says she makes $5,000
per year.

The German kaiser is said to be less
eccentric as an emperor than he was as
a prince. He has surprised even his
warmest friends by the good sense he
has displayed since he came to the
throne. The weight of responsibility
has been to him an effective ballast.
The sad news comes from Boston that
John L. Sullivan is weary of liis great­
ness. A dispatch says: “The attention
he receives is necessarily fatiguing and
the champion cannot stand it any better
than other celebrities.” What’s the
matter with a Mississippi jail as a place
of seclusion?
In Michigan University “a larger pro-
portion of women than of men are taking
by choice the full classical course,” Pres­
ident Angell reports. Men are becoming
scientific rather than classical, on ac­
count of the new openings in scientific
professions, while women study Greek
and Latin to meet the requirements of
teachers.
Henry Golding (colored), who lives
near Leary, Ga., claims to be 120 years
old. He says that he was nine years old
at the commencement of the revolution­
ary war. He belonged at that time to
George Humphreys of Richmond, Va.
George Heard of Augusta, who had own­
ed him ten years when the “stars tell.”
A remarkable will was filed at Wilkes-
barre, Pa. The testator expressed the
wish that no hearse, crape or sign of
mourning be used at his funeral. In a
plain wooden coflin lie was to be laid on
his side and carried by his own horse
and wagon to the cemetery. He desired
that there be no religious services at the
house, in any church or at the grave, and
that no minister be in attendance.

but Steps evenly over them.
There is Only One Tension to regulate. No holes
to thread through.

This “ New Davis ” is as far ahead of the old ma­
chines as the Telephone is ahead of the speaking
tube.

A New Medical School.
Young Pilkins, who had just gradu­
ated from a medical college, determined
to open up a new path in medicine that
had never before l>een irod. He had
read that laughter had been known to
cure most desperate diseases, and his
plan was to establish the laughing school
of medicine. But unfortunately for the
success of his scheme he had very queer
ideas of what makes a person laugh.
He was called to prescribe for a man
suffering from a severe attack oi rheu­
matism, and he endeavored to make
him laugh by telling of a man who was
so doubled up with this disorder that
when he died his friends had to bury
him in a big cheese box. To the sur­
prise of young Pilkins the man never
smiled once. Another patient had a dis­
order of the bowels, and Pilkins sat up
with him half the night telling him
laughable incidents of the last cholera
epidemic. They didn’t bring a smile,
and at the funeral Pilkins told the under­
taker that if he could have made him
laugh be would have saved him.
Pilkins worked hard to make a man
laugh who was suffering from an inward
tumor, his theory being that a convul­
sion of laughter would cause the tumor
to break, and thereby save the man’s
life, and perhaps that would have been
the result had lie succeeded in bringing
the laugh, but cancer stories, however
well told, can baldly be expected to ex­
cite hilarity in a man who is nursing
one. Some folks can’t see the point of a
joke, anyhow, and when this man suc­
cumbed to the tumor Pilkins said he
had died because he couldn’t appreciate
humor.
He tried his theory on a man who was
in the last stages of consumption. He
told him funny stories about wcak-lunged
men, imitating their feeble ¡ones in the
most laughable manner, but it did not
avail—the man grew weeker every day.
But one day the patient smiled. It was
when Pilkins said lie didn't think it was
worth while lor him to come any more,
as he didn’t seem to bo doing him any j
good. After Pilkins was gone the man
laughed heartily, and from that time he
began to improve. Pilkins’ theory may
be all right, but it requires judgement to
carry it out.
