What She Meant by Man and a-Half.

AS Mr.. Topnoody took up his paper
Tuesday evening, his wife, from the other
side of the fire place, looked up over her
glasses at him in an inIniring way, and
finally said:
There was man here to-day to get
some sort Of statistics or other. Do you
know anything about him?'
No, my DEAR replied Mr.. Topnoody,
without taking his eyes from his paper.
''He wanted to know everything, like
a census taker, or an assessor, or some
thing like that"

This yrandest work of Philip r. Morris has been
completed and exhibited this year in the Royal
Academy. Two beautiful children gathering
primroses in a deer park, are followed by the ami
mails, evidently curious to know what the little
tntruders are about. The children. suddenly turn

doubt They drop their basket, plant themselves

curiosity and fear. The beautiful animals mean
while divide their attention between the basket
and the children, and are apparently as eager as
friends. The mutual curiosity, timdity, and ire
pidaton manifested by both children and ami
mails is admirably brought out. The magnificent
es, afford pleasing background. while the wealth
of grasses gives tone and variety to the picture.
This powerful engraving, with its contrasts strong
lights and shades, dramatic contours and express
sions. presents an animal ed rural scene of une-
uualled richness and hea-rY.

He Won His Wager.

Two young lawyers in Boston were
hantering each other concerning their
shrewdness, and one, who had been
distanced in boasting by his companion,
at last exclaimed, II will wager good
dinner and bottle of wine that can
ride in the street cars from Scollay
Square to Roxbury Crossing without
paying my fare.
''Pooh, pooh" said the other, "any
man can dodge horse car conductor;
that is nothing"
"But I will take you along with me,
and we will not dodge the conductor,
but on the other hand talk with him on
the way"
Done" cried the other, and having
agreed at what time and place the wa
ger should be paid, they set out togeth-
er for Scollay Square. When they
reached the head of fremont street a
Back Bay car was just passing, Law
yer number one instantly made o rush
for it, .,.e
Hold on, exclaimed number two,
that's not fremont street car.
Keep your tongue still and follow
me-" said the other savagely, and he
pulled his companion upon the front
platform. They then walked leisurely
through to the rear platform, where
they found the conductor.
"Does this car go to Jamaica Plain?"
asked number one.
"No, sir, replied the conductor;
"Janiaica Plain cars start from the
fremont House"
"Oh, ah," said number one, starting

I'm sure. "
Might as well ride down to the
other car, sir" said the conductor pleas

.Just as you please, thank you," re-
sponded number one affably; and so
the two LAWYERS rode free to the Ire

quietly waited til a fremont street car

number one asked the conductor il the
car went to the Art Museum. Receiv-
ing negative reply and implicit direc-
tions as to the car that should be taken
for that place, be proceeded leisurely
to get off again followed by his aston
ished companion, They gained about
three rods by the maneuver, and after
it had been repeated several times, the
general inquiry being for Jamaica
Plain or Brookline car, light began to
break upon the mind of lawyer number
two. They had worked their way to
the West street gate in the Common,
when the disgnsted companion said to
the energetic number one: How long
are you going to keep this sort of thing
up?n
It'll We get to the Roxbury crossing,
OF course Come along, get on the car.
Does this car go to South Boston?

Consideration Necessary.

'Ridicule is deadly, sarcasm infer
ma" said Rev, Chauncy Giles, of Phil
adelphia, emphasizing these words
more sharply than any other portion Of
his lecture upon "Unhappy Marriages"
From material point OF view, the
path OF matrlmony. as pointed out by
the speaker, was not howery. Illus
band aud wife must strive to obtain
happiness by creating it for one anoth-
er, and at best they must not expect
too much, " said he. Again, in going
into a detailed account OF the causes OF
marital troubles, Mr.. Giles thought
that one of them lay in the exaggerated
notions prevalent of the happiness of
married life. 1T is the happiest state"
he said, "but it must have its trials.
regrets and disappointments; though
conducive to happiness that IS not its
direct purpose. Those married lives
which seem the happiest streams that
flow on without a ripple are not the
highest by any means" That men
and women expect too much from one
another was thought BY the reverend
gentleman to be common cause for
infeliclty, THE mask must drop OIL,
he said. The selfishness and mean
ness Of mans nature will come out,
and then we are surprised We expect
that our partners should be always
kind, gentle, considefate and tender.
But do we apply the same rule to our
selvesPH Tolerance, self-scrutiny and
self-control, the striving to make the
other happy was the one rule for hus-
band and wife, to attain happiness, ac-
cording to the lecturer All this, how
ever, related to the earthly, in Mr..
Giles mind the least, portion of mar
riage. "All marriage on earth, he
said, 'is, owing to the depraved nature
of man, somewhat unhappy" What
marriage was in its entirety, Mr.. Giles
thought was the gradual union, begin
ming with birth and ending in eternity
OF the dual nature Of mankind. "For
mankind" he said, sis one thing with
two natures--one male and the other
female t F"ir .'t'

A New Treatment for Neuralgia

The latest agent introduced for the
relief of neuralgia is a l per cent. solu-
mtion of hyperosmic acid, admiuis-
tered by subcutaneous injection, 1t has
been employed in Billroth's clinic in a
few cases. One Of the patients had
been a martyr to sciatica for years, and
had tried innumerable remedies, in
cluding the application of electricity
no fewer than 200 times, while for u
whole year he tried yegetarianism.
Billroth injected the above remedy be-
tween the tuber ischii and troehanter,
and within day or two the pain was
greatly relieved, and eventually quite
disappeared. 1t would be rash to con.
clude too much from these results, in
the face of the jntractab bility of neural
gia to medication, but il it really prove
TO be as efficacious as considered, hy-
perosmic acid will be therapeutic
agent of no mean value. - Lancet. q ,s

ut is in the power given by law to
owners of irrigating ditches,' contin-
ued the general, THE soil of Mon

irrigated. Knowing this, the legisla-
ture, desiring to encourage agriculture,
enacted a law with the preamble that
whoever made the soil more productive
was public benefactor. They then
proceeded to give the irrigators extra
