answer it. You seem TO be dear little
goose, bothered by nuisance ola gan

him that sauce for you is sauce for him.
You are betrothed to him, and he de-
lights in narrating to you his previous
exploits in love. Cure him with dose
of his own medicine. For every tale
that he tells to you, tell him one in re-
turn. After he has become sufficiently
detected and jealous by reason OF the
army of wooers which you have coniuied
up and the lovers battles you have
fought and won in imagination, make
him happy again by denying them, and

The above is the portrait of man who is
at present occupying a prominent position
by his efforts to stop the ravages of the
dreadful cholera scourge which is now
sweeping over his native land, Spain. Don
Jaime Ferran is as yet young man, but he
has attained an eminence in his profession
of which older men might be proud.
Following up the results of the expert
ments of the great micrOscOpistS, Koch and
Pasteur, he advocates the incubation Of
cholera virus as a preventive of the
scourge. During the cholera epidemic in
Spain in 1884 DR.. Ferran applied himself to
the study of all phases of the revolution of
the microbe Bacillus virgula. After several
experiments he tried the incubation of the
disease upon himself and upon his associate
Don lnocente Paul.. His system has been
tried in Valencia and other cities and if it
proves effectual he will have conferred one
of the greatest bOons upon mankind. Don
Jaime Ferran was born at COrbera, Feb. 1st
1852 and studied at Tortosa and Tarragona.
Going to Barcelona he graduated thence in
1873 and has since practiced successfully at
Tortosa. He was member of the commits
sion sent from Barcelona to study the chole-
ra at Toulon and Marseilles and collected a
host of data in regard to the disease. He is
known for his general scientific knowledge
and research and stands in high repute both
professionally and socially. He has also an
extensive knowledge of art matters and is
himself an artist of much ability, having
produced several historical works.

THE Joy OF TIE GIRL WHO IS
JUST ENGAGED.
HATTIE TYING GRIswoLD.

There is a tie which binds the hearts
OF youth and love in shining bands:
whene'er they meet they recognize
The sacred sign and so clasp hands.
Ah! blessed is the mystic tie!
Nav neither life nor death destroy
That thrilling chord which binds our hearts
In the deep fellowship OF JOY.
But there is deeper. subtler sense
OF kinship, when amid our fears,
Our doubts, forebodings and distress
We meet the eyes which have known tears,
Hearts which have learned, like ours, the
depth
of loss or wrong, nor gained relief,
We meet on consecrated ground
With those in fellowship OF grief.
But once or twice, perchance. in life,
When, through much thought and many
tears,
We have attained unto the height
From whence all loss and wrong appears
But fieeting pageant of the night;
While God is stable, God is just;
But find friend who meets us here
In the grand fellowship of rust.

been carried on many years off the
North Carolina coast, but last summer a
company was formed with its headquar-
tiers at Cape May, N j., not only for trying
out the oil, but for utilizing the hide.
The process of rendering the oil is very

is from & to s gallons. The experiment

facilities for taking porpoises will
be greatly increased the coming season.
The skin of the porpoise makes
a very superior, soft, and pliable leather,

at $50. Last autumn it was discovered
that the flesh made quite savory dish,
