A Doctor With Too Many Patients.

Prof. Virchow, the celebrated Berlin
Psychologist, went last spring to Asia
Minor for the sake of rest and recrea-
ton, and passed a large part of his va
cation at Hissarlik, on the invitation of
DR.. Schliemann. On his arrival at His
sarlik he found several of the working
men engaged at the excavations suffer-
inc from an obstinate fever, and, al
though it is long since he gave up prac-
tice, he took them under treatment. He
cured them, and Immediately his repu-
tation rs magician was established
there; and rs there were many sick peo-
pie everywhere in Asia Minor, and no.
where doctor or an apothecary, the
fame of the great magician spread with
great rapidity from village to village.
Every morning when Virchow left the
little wooden shanty in which he slept
he found first few persons, then a
crowd, and at last a mass of people en-
camped in front of the door, and wait
ing patiently, but with eager chances,
for his appearance. To send them
away was impossible, for they needed
his help sorely, and they had often come

horseback, on camels, or carried on lit
tiers and in baskets. But to help them
involved an almost complete sacrifice
of rest and recreation, for they were
many, and the consultation generally
demanded the employment of two or
three Interpreters. The sacrifice was
made, however, and it has an odd re-
suit. For the purpose of making some
geological observations, Virchow had a
hole dugin the bed of dried-up river
in the neighborhood, and people noticed
that, until the hole filed up with water,
the magician every day climbed down
there and made some curious researches
by means of lighted candle. As soon
as Virchow had left Hissarlik people as
sembled around the hole, lined its sides
with neat brick work and marble, bap-
tised it ''Virchow's WE'LL" and now,
since the magician has gone, they bring
their sick to his well to be cured by
drinking its water and by additions.

At the Cathedral in Los Angeles.

At this Cathedral, writes Il correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Bulletin, on
Palm Sunday for instance, the natives
are seen at their best. There are hand
some young SenoritaS in Americanized
costume, coquettish fan and all. There
are hOmely older members of the sex,
whose forms have lost the grace of youth
and become too substantial for the re-
quirements of beauty, and whose faces are
wrinkled us if with age, although in Il
colder climate they would yet be young
There are some handsome, daShing
Young fellows, and men with most vii
famous faces, wearing broad " sombre-
roS' and clanking spurs; around the
Plaza their horses (beastS of all cOndi-
tions) are awaiting their masters.
Wagons drawn by Unmatched teams
are constantly arriving and depositing
the delegation from the " Rancho. "
The older woman, who have not vet be-
come Americanized, still persist in en-
comprising the lower portion of their
faces in shawl, regardless of the con-
dition of the weather. All are talking a
language which is called Spanish for
courtesy, but which is not of Castillian
purity by any means, and the whole at
mosphere is redolent with the perfume
of garlic, fondness for which is char
acteristic of the race, as is also their
weakness for red peppers, or "chili, :"
which entersSso universally into the COM
position of all their dishes. In the back
yards of the Spanish quarter, alternate
strings of peppers and slices of
beef can be seen hanging out to dry. 1t
requires philosopher to account for the
liking which the natives of hot climates
exhibit for peppers when the thermome-
ter is aspiring toward the infinite; and
we who call ourselves civilized have no
idea of luxury except that which is af-
forded by something of an icy tempera-
ture.

Hnu ha Canrht the Thief.

The peculiar temperament of the ma
tive troops in British India, and the
most efficacious method of dealing with
them are strikingly illustrated by a story
told of a veteran English officer, Who Is
still living. Shortly after he had as
sumed command of the til Native
Bengal infantry, q complaint was brought
to him of theft which had Just been
committed in the barracks, to the per-
petrator of which there was not the
slightest clew. The next morning, on
parade, the colonel passed along the line,
giving to each man, in turn, thin strip
of bamboo and when all were supplied,
he said, with solemn emphasis: "My
men, there is a thief among us, ana
Brahma has revealed to me how 1 am to
detect him. Come forward, one by one.
and give me your bamboo chips; and
the guilty man let him do what he may
will have the longest piece" The sol
diers. not little startled at this myste-
rious threat, Obeyed without a word !;
but before the first dozen filed past, the
colonel suddenly seized one Of them by
the throat. and shouted, You are the

and whined cut confession of the theft,
while his terrified comrades salaamed to
the ground before the dreaded "Sahib"
to whom Brahma had given such terri

the senior major, who had been looking
on in silent amazement came up and
said, 81 wish you would teach me that

county stood for Tilden 8, 1913 and for Hayes
2. There was no bull-dozing in this result,
our Democratic friends will, no doubt, as
sure US, and yet how is it. that the Dem

it necessary to resort to downright murder
to get rid of candidate of party polling

The public roads of Ireland are abb
solutely perfect. Go where you will
through the rural districts, and the roads
are thoroughly turnpiked, thoroughly
drained and as level as q board. The
bridges over creeks and rivers are all Of
stone. Every road has sidewalk for
foot passengers elevated about six inches
over the main road, and from four to six
feet wide. The fences on either side are
of solid stone masonry to the height Of
four to six feet, upon the top Of which
are growing hedges of hawthorn or furze
or grass and wall flowers. The walls in
closing the roads are festooned with ivy
and wild flowers, producing charming
effect. Every country scat Is thus
"hedged in" from the outside world.
There is no getting over the barrier, and
access can only be had through the
lodge gates, which are in charge Of the
iodge-keeper, generally woman, who
admits only favored few. The consta-
bulary are always on hand to arrest
trespassers. "Tramps" have poor show
in Ireland. They must keep the roads

There are some strange incongruities in
this world. Not least among them. is,
perhaps, the course of the workingmen's
organization in selecting candidates for
Office to represent them, men who have
never done a days work in their lives.
Kalloch for instance, the workingmen's
candidate for mayor of San Francisco, in
the sweat of his face, probably, never
earned meal with which his belly has
been filled. The same incongruity holds
with other parties. Ewing, the candidate
of the Democracy of this State is an infla-
tionist-a soft money man-while the
party that put him up is a hard money
party. To cover this gap between the two
ideas, Mr.. Ewing finds himself under the
necessity of looking both ways for Sunday,
and belittling himself by a fruitless and
unsatisfactory effort to harmonic two dia-
metrically opposed financial theories.
