Everybody has heard of Velpeau, the
great French surgeon, but few persons
are aware of the fact that he was very
misery and disagreeable. A story has
recently been told of him to the effect
that, having successfully performed a
very perilous operation on boy, the
mother of his patient waited upon Vel
peau and said: .,,
Monsieur, my son is saved; l really
know not how to express my gratitude.
Allow me, however, to present you with
this pocket,book, embroidered by. my
own hands. g
"Oh, Madame" replied Velpeau,
sharply my art is not merely a CUES
ton Of feeling. Ny life has its require
ments like yours, Dress, even, which is
a luxury for you, is necessary for me.
Allow me, therefore, to refuse your
charming little present in exchange for
a more substantial remuneration.
bat, Monsieur, what remuneration
do you desire2 Fix the fee yourself"
Five thousand francs, Madame"
The lady very quietly opened the
pocket-book, which contained ten thou
sand francs in notes, counted out five,
and, after politely handing them over
to Velpeau, retired. l

Our Growth and Greatness.

We take the following finely-drawn
picture from Secretary Belknap's re.
cent Grafton at Princeton College,
New Jersey;
The most fervent imagination
could not have dreamed ten wears
ago OF the results that surely, though
slowly, We're evolved from the great
struggle which demanded the serv-
Ices and strong arms of millions OF
men, and called from the treasury
millions of money which was be-
gum and fought and ended, leaving a
government stronger than ever,
richer Than ever, and people the

which had surprised the world and
given their part to history. From

the wilderness and demand for them

spot where the pioneer has 3enetrat-

tions-from central points and from

The subject Is no new one aud yet

OF Wisconsin increasing from 750,-
