A Clever Doctor.


DR.. Carbarns, who died at Paris last
year, was one of those physicians whose
presence is equally sought in the sick
room As in society, and who effect more
with humor and pleasantly than by medi-
cine. Being brother-in-law of Lesseps,
the celebrated engineer, and nearly relat-
ed to princely family of his native land.
he moved in aristocratic circles. which
deeply felt his loss. One cure, by which,
at the commencement of his career, he
achieved great reputation, is character
istic of the man. The Duchess D.,
one OF the most aristocratic ladies OF
Faubourg st. German, had got possessed
with the idea that she had swallowed a
frog. She felt this said frog-she declar-
ed she did-and its presence robbed her
OF peace Of miGd, sleep, and even health
The Partisan physicians had the rudeness
to deny the existence of this animal. 10
norant as they We're that the poor lady
suffered martyrdom. A fortunate chance
made her acquainted with Cabarus, and
TO him she told her woe. He felt. with a
seriousness worthy of Rippocratcs him
self, the pulse of the fair patient, inquired
after various symptoms, and when the
charming young aristocrat had exhausted
all her store of arguments to prove her
pet delusion, the young doctor said, after
a well-feigned pause:
Madam the frog is there | will re-
move it,
He then prescribed an innocent emetc,
and went to the nearest flower shop, where
he bought small frog. Armed with this
confederate he presented himself once
more before the Ducf ess, and placed a
large basin of water n readiness The
emetic began to take effect, the Duchess
eyes filled with tears, and our doctor took
advantage of the opportunity to slip the
the green frog into the basin.
On seeing the frog, load was removed
from the Duchess heart, and for an in
stant all seemed we'll The next moment
she turned pale, and as Dr.. Cabarus, sup.
ported her tottering frame, she cried in a
despairing tone:
emo, doctor am not yet cured for the
frog has left little ones behind her ~
"Stoph' cried Cabarus, without allow
ing a trace OF embarrassment to be seen
in his manner: THAT we shall see.r
He then cast searching glance upon
the frog, which he had by this time taken
IN his hands, and answered with a GER
tainty that settled the question, these
words:
"Madam, that is an impossibiity, for
the frog is male !"

Early in the rebellion, when the fedora
forces were stationed at Beaufort, South
Carolina, there was an old darky by the
name of Lige Jackson, who, deserted by
his master, was left to take care of him
sell as best he might. Lige was consid-
cred a chattel of weak intellect, and, more
over, he was exceedingly awkward in his
attempts to play the role of house SER
want. He smashed and destroyed nearly
everything he laid his hands upon, and
having waited upon nearly every officer
at the post, each in turn, after giving him
the benefit of some hard language for his
stupidity, turned him adrift. 1t happened
that Lige was witness in case that came
before Il court-martial, and being called
up to give his testimony, was objected to
on the part Of the defendant. who stated
that he didn't believe the nigger was OF
sound mind. "Stand up, Lige," said the
court. ''Do you understand the nature of
an oath?" Lige scratched his wool for 4
moment, and then, turning up the white
of his eye, replied: "Look yeare, marse,
dis nigger has waited on bout half de
ossifers since dey cum to dis place, and if
he don't understand de nature OBJ an oaf
by dis time, den dares no virtue in cuss-
ing"

How MANY EGGs A HEN HoLDs.-A
German naturalist answers the question
how many eggs a hen can possibly lay
as follows: The ovary Of a hen con-
tains about six hundred embryo eggs, of
which in the first year not more than
twenty are matured; the second year
produces one hundred and thirty-fve;
the fourth, one hundred and fourteen
and in the following four years the num-
Der decreases by twenty yearly. In the
ninth year only ten eggs can be expect
ed, and thus it appears that after the
first four years hens cease to be profit
able as layers.
