An Obstinate Court Physician.

On the return of King William, from
Holland, in 1899, says the London Qxar.
terIy Revieao, he sent fox Radcliffe, and,
showing him his swollen ankles, while
the rest of his body was emaciated, said /:
" What think you of these?" Why,
truly" replied Radcliffe, " 1 would not
have your majesty's two legs for your
three kingdoms" which freedom cost
him the kings favor, and no intercession
could ever recover it. When Anne
came to the throne, the Earl of Godol-
phin endeavored in vain to reinstate
Radcliffe as first physician but the
queen would not be prevailed on, alleg.
ing that Radcliffe would send her word,
as he had done before, " that her all
ments were nothing but the vapors.'
The queen, however, sent for him in his
last illness, when he answered that he
had taken physic and could not come"
The queen died on the first of August,
1714, and Radcliffe on the first of No.
vember following; his death having, it
is said, been fastened by dread of the
populace, who were incensed against him
for his neglect of the queen.

a Lawyer of the olden Time.

Peter Stephen Duponceau, who came
from France to this country as private
secretary to Baron Steuben, was ad.
mitted to the bar in the year 1885. His
acquaintance with the languages of
Continental Europe secured him a large
practice, which did not prevent him
paying much attention to the learned
societies, of which he was a prominent
member.
A young man called on him for advice
and began his story thus: "Mr. Du-
ponceau, my father died and made a
will"
"Isit possible7" said Mr.. Duponceau
[" / never heard of such thingl"
~ thought it happened every day."
said the client.
"This is the first case of the kind that
[ ever heard Of said Mr.. Duponceau.
WELL" said the young man, eff
there is likely to be any trouble about it
| had better give you fee," which he
did.
"Oh," said Mr.. Duponceau, snow I
think know what you mean. You
mean that your father made will and
died. Yes, yes; that must be it; that
must be it. "-Phiiadelphia Progress.

A Steamer Stopped by Jsllyflsh.

A correspondent of the Western Morn.
ing NeDs gives an interesting description
of the voyage of the Crocodile. In the
course of his observations, he says: "On
September 2lst the ship crossed the
equator early in the morning. On the
following night most curious circum-
stance occurred which would hardly be
credited. The ship was stopped by jel-
lyfsh, which, shortly after o'clock, ap.
peared in myriads as far as the eye could
reach, and the thousads of luminous
bodies floating upon the water gave the
appearance of a scene from fairyland.
Some of the fish got into the strainers of
the condensers and blocked the holes 80
that the water could not enter, and the
result was that the vacuum went down
and then disappeared entirely. The
condensers afterward became 80 heated
that we had to stop steaming altogether,
take off the strainers and clear them
Three attempts were made to steam, and
each one failed from the same cause. In
this way we were delayed no less than
five hours; but at day break the fish
sank, and the ship was able to proceed
The same thing occurred the following
night, the ship being delayed four
hours" -LondOn TELEGRAPH.

Level-Head Advice.

While sleep is the season for all
natures" it is injurious the hours of
rest. For farmers and those who live
in localities where people can retire q.
8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, the old
notion about early rising is still ap.
propriate. But he who is kept up till
10 or IL or twelve o'clock, then rises al
5 or 6, because of the teaching of some
old ditty about "early to RISE" is com
hitting sin against his OWL soul
There is not one man in ten thousand
who can afford to do without seven or
eight hours sleep. All the stuff written
about great men who sleep only three
or four hours a night is apocryphal
They have been put on such small
allowances occasionally and prospered
but no man has ever yet kept healthy in
body and mind for a number of years
with less than seven hours sleep. II
you can get to bed early, then rise early
if you cannot get to bed till late, then
rise late. It may be as proper for one
man TO rise at as it is for another to
at 5. Let the bell be rung at least
thirty minutes before your public
appearance. Physicians say that
a sudden jump out of bed gives ir
regular motions to the pulses. It takes
hours to get over a too sudden rising

Tweakine His Own Nose.

If the correspondents don't belle him,
DIR. Oliver Wendell Holmes is a good
deal of wag outside of his books. The
story goes that he wagered friend that
he could make the pompous DR.. Osgood,
the publisher, tweak his own nose. This
seemed SO absurd to the friend, who had
conceived high notion of Osgood's dig
nifty, that the wager was accepted. AT
ter the business of call on Osgood was
completed, Holmes artfully led the con-
versation up to the subject of noses, a
particular in which Osgood was not de-
ficient. "Have you not noticed, doc
tor" said Holmes, that all men of in
tellect and character have large noses?"
A pause ensued, when, to the joker de-
light, DIR. Osgood respondeds Is is, I
believe, an indisputable fact, and, as he
spoke, slowly raising his hand to his
nasal sppendage, following its outline
