Dr.. MURRELL tells this story: An
old negro woman came TO my Office
suffering from rheumatism in one knee.
The knee was actually swollen, and she
had been complaining for sometime,
and on this particular moment it hap
pened that some brown corrugated pa
per was lying ON nv table which had
removed from some specimens of NAL
tine and pepsin that had been sent to
me for trial. She asked me what kind
of plasters those were. told her they
were patent Chinese corrugated rheu-
matte plasters' that had been sent me
for trial, and if she wanted to try one
of them she might. She concluded to
do so. Next day she came back. and
when asked her how she was she ex-
pressed herself as being able to walk up
stairs, the swelling was gone, and she
declared that it drew so hard in the
night that she had to take it off,

PROF. LUIGI MoNTI tells pleasant
story of Longfellow. For many years
he has been in the habit of dining with
the poet every Saturday. On Christ
mas Day as he was walking briskly to-
ward the old historic house, he was ac.
costed BY a girl about twelve years old,
who inquired the way to Longfellow'
home. He told her he would show
her When they reached the gate she
said: .Do You think can go into the
yard?" "Oh, yes" said Signor Monti.
.'Do you see the room on the left?
That's where Martha Washington held
her receptions bdndred years ago. If
You look at the window on the right
you will probably see white haired
gentleman reading paper. Well, that
will be Mr.. Longfellow" She looked
gratitied at the unexpected pleasure of
really seeing the man whose poems she
loved. As Signor Mont drew near the
house he saw Mr. Longfellow standing
with his back against the window. his
head. of course. out of sight. When he
went in, he said. "Do look out of the
window and bow to that little girl, who
wants to see you very muchr' "A lit
tie girl wants to see me very much
where is she" He fastened to the
door and reckoning with his hand,
called out: Come here. little girl,
come here. if YOU want to see me- She
needed no second invitation. and after
shaking her hand and asking her name.
he showed her the ..old clock on the
stairs" the chair made from the village
smithy's chestnut tree, presented TO
him by the Cambridge children. and
the beautiful pictures and souvenirs
