A Literal Application.

Professor H., one Of the Oldest tutors
in the country, was IS eccentric as he was
learned. His judgment anywhere in the field
of natural science and philosophy Was TO be
taken rs law. No one ever thought of ques-
tioniug it. The mathematical kn0t was never
wrought which he could not sever On GER
tain occasion Professor H wanted a SER
want. Several applicants presented them-
selves, were tried aud discharged. Finally
one came whose looks the Pedagogue liked.
''NOw look ye, my man" the sAvEnt said !;
"if you eau remember aud carry out one
course of procedure, think wO may get on.
| cannot afford TO waste words, nor can 1 af>
ford 10 fiHd thoughts for a stupid servant.
You must do your own thinking, and under.
stand my wants at n hint. For instance:
When Bring my razor, $50 you will
comprehend that am going to shAve-so you
will comprehend that / want hot water, soap,
towels, comb, brush, and so on. And so with
everything. My initial order you will take
as cue, aud of your own Thought supply all
possible accessories aud contingents."
The new servant proved himself true 70
the occasion, and his master was more than
satisfied
One day the professor came home pale aud
shaky. Said he to his servant:
- ohm, Rm not feeling well. Go aud call
the DOCTOR"
The man bowed aud departed.
An hour pAssOd-tNO hours-And yet no
doctor, and no servant Finally however the
doctor arrived, and in a moment more in come
the servant.
"HOw is this John 2" demanded the pro.
fessor. "Why have you been so long ="
"YOu told me to call the doctor, sir."
AYE, you could have done it in ten min
utes.
''But, sir, you told me you were not S,i.
l. took your simple order as a cue to ali you
might need. found tho doctor absent, and
lef, word for him. Then / went 20 call

your will. And then, sir, / had to hunt up
