time for y easant word for every child he

upon him to settle with him for his serv-

were not desired. "What does this
mean, gentlemen?" asked the Doctor.

IN Tuesday last a great sensation

On Tuesday last great sensation
was caused in Highland by the sudden
arrivai of genuine female woman, 3l ao-
companied BY her husband: This being
the first arrival of feminine on Roar,
;nS ;C Fork, every man in the camp turned 1
ont I to see her, and they could hardly be-
lieve their eyes. The couple Went n IN
from iron Leadviile by way of Taylor River.
Tbe lT man carried on his back healthy
infant and heavy load of provisions;
ETC., besides, while the plucky wife had
twenty-five pounds of flour as her por17
tion Of the luggage. The man seemed
completely worn out, but the woman
appeared fresh and vigorous, although
snow and sun had spoiled her complex
ion somewhat. As soon as the miners
recovered from their astonishment, they
rendered the woman the best block IN
the city, giving her the choice, and
agreeing that if the block selected had
any buildings on it they should be hers.

Nervous Men.

Although women are usually consid-
cred to be more nervous than men, they
certainly fidget less. Put an equal
number of men and women to sit for
half an hour upon arm-chairs with loose
chintZ covers and antimacassars. When
the women rise the general appearance
of their seats will be little altered; but
when the men leave their chairs there
will remain visible evidence of screw
like action upon the chin,z, and it will
be miracle if half the antimacassars
are not torn from their places; or, if a
lady and gentleman converse together
beside drawing-room table covered
with knick-knacks, the former will not
touch them, but the latter will select
some object and nervously play with it
in meaningless manner. One of the
most wearisome and provoking forms of
fidgetiness is that known as "pacing
the quarterback, in which the offender
traces and retraces short space of
ground or carpet like wild beast at the
geological gardens when feeding time
draws near In this habit, and in many
of the other ways in which man can
show that he has got what children
term "the fidgets in the legs" he has
the power of making an intolerable
nuisance of himself. The arch-fidget
of history was the great Napoleon. Not
only did he pace up and down, but he
whitfield chairs and tables, and did
other naughty things for which judi
cious nurse would have tied up his
hands in fingerless gloves. Such habits
are but forms of nervousness, and it is
certain that Napoleon was essentially
nervous man. OF all minor forms of
the malady the most serious in its re-
suits of social torture is that which
manifests itself in what is vulgarly
known as ''the devils tattoo" Who
shall describe the horrors of this evil
habit? An organ grinder is an enemy
to mankind, but the tattoo beater surely
owes his origin to something worse
than human. For such criminals, and
indeed for most men who are given to
making morning calls, we would sug-
gest that digitoriums should be provided
in every drawing-room. These HARM
less instruments might then be the
means, like scientific toys, of combining
amusement with instruction-Art Inter
