A PHYSICIANS STORY

A touch of romance may be permitted
to enliYen the sober pages of medical re-
cord. The brilliant huss of poesy gather
round the story of princess gratitude to
her physicians, which has been awakening
the gossip of London and Paris to sympa.
thetic enthusiasm.
A young lady CT rank-a Russian prin-
cess-who had become suddenly blind from
the effect of exposure to the sunlight upon
the snow, bad been sent to Dusseldorf 10
consult DR.. Holrath, whoss reputation as
an oculist was so widely spread. She was
promised recovery in milder climate, and
was sent to Palermo, where she improved
for some time; but undergoing relapse, a
young physician was dispatched by the
great oculist TO take charge of the case for
him, and report progress.
His attention was unremitting, and the
result so far successful that finally the lady
was ordered to return to Dusseldorf under
his care, her eyes being bandaged psrman-
emily until her arrival there.
At the consultation her eyes were IN
-bandaged. Delighted with the improve
ment in her sight, the princess glanced
wildly around the assembly, and in one
moment, despite her still weakened sight,
seemed to scan every countenance; and, as
it impelled by magnetic power stronger
than herself, she walked across the room
toward the young doctor, her friend and
companion, stood silent AMI trembling,
and taking his hand, pressed it to her lips,
and forgetting all but gratitude, gazed upon
him and burst into passion of tears.
1t is pleasant 10 hear occasionally OF
grateful princesses, and the story is, oil
course, likely to stimulate young physicians
to the most devoted attention-not atten-
tions to all their patients.

TOBACCO IN NO SENSE NUTRI
TIVE.

Tobacco belongs to the class of narcotic
and exciting substances, and has no food
value. Stimulation means distracted, not
added, force. 1t involves the narcotic par
dlysis ola portion of the functions, the &C
tivity of which is essential to healthy life.
II will be said that tobacco soothes and
cheers the weary toiler, and solaces the
overworked brain. Such may be its mo-
meItary effects, but the Sequelg cannot be
ignored. All such expedients are fallaci-
Gus. When certain amount of brain.work
has been performed. Nature must have
space in which to recuperate, and all deyi-
ces for escaping from this necessity will
fail. 1t is bad policy to set the house on
fire to warm our hands by the blaze. Let it
then, be clearly understood that the tempo
rary excitement produced by tobacco is
gained by the destruction of vital force,
and that it contains absolutely nothing
which can use to the tissues of the body.
Tobacco adds no potential strength to
the human frame. 1t may spur weary
brain or feeble arm to undue exertion for q
short time, but It's work is destructive, not
constructive. 1t cannot add one molecule
10 the plssm out of which our bodies are
daily built up. On the contrary, it eXerts
upon it most deleterious influence. 1t
does not supply, but diminishes, vital force.
1t has been denied that tobacco leads to
organic disease, but the evidence is very
strong the other way, and it would be very
remarkable If continued functional derange-
ment did not ultimately lead to cronic de-
rangement ofthe organs; that it causes func
tional disturbance no one dreams of deny
ing; indeed, it has been remarked that no
habitual smoker can be truly said to have
days perfect health,-P Popular Science

A CUTE LADY:

Lady Browne aud l were as usual going
to the Duchess of Monroe's at seven O'Clock.
The evening was dark. In the close lane,
under the park pale, and within twenty
yards of the gate, black igue pushed by
between the chase and the hedge on my
side. l suspected it was a highwayman,
and so found did Lady Browne, for she
was speaking, and stopped. To divert her
fears, was going to say, els net that the
apothecary going to the Duchess'?" when |
heard voice cry, "Stopr' and then the fig
ure came ba OK to the chaise. l had the
presence of mind before let down the
glass to take out my watch and stuff it
within my dress under the arm. He said:
"Your purse and watches.''

""Then your purse"
gave it to him; it had nine guineas in it
1t was so dark that / could not see his
hand, but felt II take it. He then asked
for Lady Brownies purse, aud said:
"Don't be frightened; l will not hurt
you.n
"No, you won't frighten the lady," 1
said.
"No, give you my word 1 will not hurt
you" he replied.
Lady Browne gave him her purse, and
was going to add her watch, but be said:
81 am much obliged to you; / wish you
good night" pulled off his bat and rode
away.
"Well," said L, ''you will not be afraid of

A NATURAL MISTAKE.


/ A Lover Putting HIS Foot IN H.
The @Fat contributor" writes: George
has for some time past been attentive to a
| young lady on Prospect street whom be has
noticed on several evenings when be called
busily engaged on beautiful piece OF en-
broidery, which perhaps comparing 1t with
the size of bis own foot, he had concluded
was one ola pair of slippers that were, no
doubt, intended for holiday present; and
George had once or twice allowed himself
to wander into the pleasing suspicion that
they were intended for him although moth
ing had really transpired to Justify such a
belief.
While quietly seated near his enchant-
ress, watching her taper fingers gracefully
toying with the gossamer threads, and
each movement adding new beauty
to the fabric, he had more
than once allowed himself to revel IN
blissful contemplation of the pleasure he
would feel at having his tiny foot encased
in those lovely sandals, and how on retir-
ing to is room on cold winter evenings he
could sis in front of his base burner, and
hold sweet communion with these master
pieces of art, realizing, the while, that they
were the product of the one he &adored
above all worldly things besides. George is
not naturally poetical,but something about
these slippers and their associations awak-
ened sentimental feeling in him, in spite
of his natural inclination.
Well, Friday evening, George called for
the third time during the week. He's quite
attentive, it would seem, and as usual the
slipper was progressing finely. 1t was held
up for bis inspection, and he pronounced it
f,,I haip0 ho m ff1
time he had expressed the same sentiment.
But the holidays are near at hand, and some
evil genius put it in poor Georges head to
be inquistive. He was fully sure the slip
pers were intended for him, but be was anx-
ious to draw the acknowledgment from
the dear angel who was laboring SO indus
triously for his benefit, and he was not
unwilling to draw in the same connection
another implied acknowledgment of her
devotion for him. OF course he began
cautiously:
"Some one you are mighty fond of is to
become the posessor of those slippers,
imagine?" said he.
"What slippers do you refer TOP" inquir-
ed the fair laborer.
"Why, those you are working on so in
dustriously," replied George.
"Slippersp' almost shouted bis astonish-
ed companion. Slippers! do you mean
to tell me that you took this for slipper9"
"Why not9" returned George, inadverten-
ly moving one of his ponderous pedal ap-
pendages. The movement though unin-
territorial drew the lady's attention to
Georges feet where she gazsd q moment,
and then at the supposed slipper: then rails
ing her eyes to her hero, she said; "Well,
George, you are not so much to blame after
all, but this was really intended for sofa
cushion"
George takes but little pleasure in hear
that he got his foot in Though not in the
slipper.

The following Is from sRecollections Of
Society in England and France by Lady
ClerrentiDa Davis: Mrs. L-----, of E.
Park, was always to be seen everywhere,
no matter what difficulty much more exalt-
ed personages experienced In getting invi-
tations. She was at the marriage of Paul
Esterhazy with Lady Sarah Villiers the
Prince who dropped f100 worth of dia-
monds from his jeweled attire whenever
he went to ball-and saw everything,
though the crowd was 80 great that nobody
else could see anything but the person be-
fore him. This, however, she contrived to
dc by getting into the pGlpit. To obtain
an invitation to Lady Londonderry's ball
required greater tact. "How did you do ill'
ASKED a friend. Mrs. L., of E.
Park, hesitated considerably before answer.
ing the question, but at last answered:
swell, III tell you. The morning of that
ball sent her ladyship large vase full of
the most beautiful flowers; and she was so
delighted with them that she sent me back
amost pressing invitation to come and see
how well my flowers looked at night" "My
garden is my life," she added, Sand | never
rob that for anybody but for twenty. five
pounds spent in Covent Garden she found
she could be asked wherever she pleased.
A still cheaper method of receiving good
company at ones own table was adopted
by a certain "city man," who requested the
honor of the Duke of Wellington's compa-
ny to meet Marshal Soult, and that of Mar
shall Soult to meet the Duke of Wellington
although unacquainted with either ofthem
for he knew that both of these illustrious
warriors were so fond of "fighting their bat
ties DER again" with another that the Y
were sure to accept. And then he invited
people to meet Marshal Soult and the Duke
Of Wellington.
