All remedial agents capable destroying life by
overdose should be avoided. Morphine. opium,
strychnine, arnica, hyoscamus, and other power
full remedies does at certain times, in very small
doses relieve the patient during their action in the
system. But perhaps the second dose, II repeated,
may aggravate and increase the suffering, and an
other dose cause death. There Ia no necessity ion
using these uncertain agents when positive rem

collie that is said to be a marvel. One
day bet was made that he would take
charge of thirty cattle, then in a car,
all being unknown to the dog, as soon
as unloaded; that he would drive them
to his owners place, which was distant
two miles; that although it would be
necessary to drive the animals among
other cattle on the way the dog would
neither permit one of the strange cattle
to join his drove nor would he allow one
OF his thirty to stray from its com
panions. The dog won.

to leave the tower in the greatest conster-

when they at once returned to the tower.
Thus every hour has their rest been

Bishop Heber relates that they drive the
shoals into the nets and sometimes
bring out the larger fish with their
teeth. He saw at Pondicherry a row of
nine or ten very large and beautiful
offers, tethered with straw collars and
long strings to bamboo stakes. Some
were swimming about at the full extent
of their strings, or lying half in and
half out of the water others were roll

4 Moorish Coffee Stand.

Leaving the market-place we passed
through q crumbling old archway into
shady lane shut in by high walls. Here
a Moorish coffee stand was established
in shanty run up against the inside Of
the arch, and benches We're placed along
the walls of the lane for customers. It
was an amusing study to watch the
keeper of that coffee stand at work pre-
pairing the cup Of coffee ordered for me
by Simon. He was little gray, wrinkled
man with bent figure, clad in a COM
plete suit of fame-color, which gave
him a semi-diabolical aspect to eyes
familiar with the opera makeup of
Clothes Mephistopheles. His oddly
shaped kettle, too, placed on very
small stove level with his chin, had
something alchemical about it. Seen
in the gloom of the shanty, the fancy
easily transmitted it from kettle into
an alembic for the distillation of I'M
canny liquors; and the patient, keenly
watchful face of the old Moor as he
g~ound the portion of coffee for the cup
an famed the fame under this alem-
bical kettle, would have made very
fair model for Paracelsus. Men might
come and men might go in the quiet
lane, passing from dust and strife of the
market, but this true artist went on
intently grinding the berries and fan
ming the fire as if his earthly horizon
had been bounded by the wall of his
rickety workshop, and the whole duty
of man had been the brewing Of good
coffee. After five minutes waiting the
powerful portion was put into my hand.
1t was worth waiting for. Black and
thick and strong, the sip of liquor in
the tiny cup half filed with grounds
was more refreshing than quart Of the
mawkish mixture hurriedly slashed into

An Anecdote of Poe.

johnny Bouquet y in New York T1ibune.l
Mr.. George Ell. Boxer gave me an an
ecdote of Poe, which [ never heard be-
fore, and perhaps recollect imperfectly.
One day Mr.. Boxer was sitting at a
booksellers, who also published a serial,
when Poe came in. If shabby he was
generally genteel, and had the inherent
look of man of the world out of place
and ostracised, yet with compensating
pride in his sense of finer intellect. AZ
ter some little WHILE. he said to the pub
Usher, "Lend me ten dollars 81 can't
do it. He was already in debt to his
friend hundred or two. "Lend me
five, then" said Poe. 81 can't do it,
Poe! ] have made up my mind not to
lend any more" "Well," said Poe,
twill you give me ten dollars for poem p"
/" Yes, will be glad to do that" Poe
sat down and almost without hesitation
wrote a sonnet, exquisite in its verbiage,
tender in it's feeling. He handed it over
to the publisher, who paid the money.
''This sonnet, said Mr. Boxer, she had no
doubt written before in his mind, at
least-perhaps had written it on paper;
and the apparent composition of it in our
presence was merely an act of copying. :"

mother consented that [ should seek
my fortune in New York. He told
how she stood OH one side the garden
gate and he on the other, when, with his
bundle on his arm, he was ready to
walk to the next town. She said to him,
My boy, [ don't know anything about

they tell me those great towns are sinks

drunkards. Now, promise me you'll

me liquor I saw my mother across the
gate, and never drank a drop. It has
been my sheet anchor; [ owe all to

it, and he added, "It has saved me. I
