\ foreign scientific periodical relates this
suggestive story;
Some time since lady called upon celc-
bratod oculist In order to consult him on ac-
count Of her eyes, complaining that their
power Of vision had Of late considerably d.
minished. At glance the doctor saw that
she was a lady Of rank and wealth. He
looked at her eyes, shook his head, and
thought the treatment would require much

Of all, that as she had informed him she was
residing considerable distance In the coun-
try, she must move into the city at once, and
thus enable him to see her frequently, II not

The lady then rented an elegant mansion,
moved into the city, and tho physician was
punctual In his attendance. He prescribed
this and that, and thus days run Into weeks
and weeks into months. The cure, however,
was still coming. Tie physician tried to con-
sole her.
One day the patient hit upon a curious
scheme, aud she waited not long to carry Il
into effect.
She procured for herself very old and
poor attire, put q hood of tremendous size
upon her head, took an old umbrella and
market-basket In her hand, and In these
habllIments she visited her physician, select
