Since John Browns name rscurs 80 often

peat In passing the story brought freshly to
mind by the recent death of DR.. Marshall
That excellent man held the post of physi-
cian-in> ordinary to the queen. The office is
one which required him 10 DO always on
duty and always within call After many
years Of unbroksn service he was allowed a
vacation the year the queen went to Baveno,
and occupied Mr.. Henleyis villa, on the
shores OF Lago Maggiore. She took with her
Sir William Jenner, who has long been her
extraordinary or consulting physician
John Brown, OF course, was of the party.
Not long after they arrived John was at.
tackled by some ailment, which was, l be-
lieve, painful, but, TO the medical mind,
trivial. Rumor. concerning he-self as she
does with the slightest matters relating to
great people, said that John had tho collie.
Whatever It was, John was not satisfied
with the services or the irst physician in
England. He had no confidence In Sir Will
lam Jenner. His faith in medicine was
given to DIR. Marshall, and to him alone.
Re insisted that DIR. Marshall should be
sent for, and ssnt for the poor man was. by

a LESSON FROM CANADA.
why the Children OF Montreal Arc Wiser
Than the Children OF Chicago
ahicnan Harnld

why the Children of Montreal Arc Wiser
Than the Children OF Chicago.
lchicago Herald
The children OF Montreal are wiser IN
their generation than the children Of Chi
cago- In a hard winter, and the last three
winters have all been OF that description:
we hug stoves and breathe n vicious, gas.
laden atmosphere, or, under the necessity Of
passing from lodgings TO Office. we pack our
selves In perambulating refrigerators. pay
ing 8 cents for the privilege, and curse the
weather with frosted breath. and chattering
teeth. The snow Is here in abundance. We
regard It u nuisance. Lake and pond are
sheets Of crystal. We cut them up AMI
store them for the purpose of enriching the
ice merchant and impairing our digestion
In midsummer.
We have no joy in the season. We shate,
It is a true-on roller3 with a smooth iionr
and the Thermometer at 60. We arc out
doors at times, but only because busines
conpsl the movement In Montreal, on
the contrary, ice and snow arc welcome.
Prepared for the severity OF winter with
sensible and adequate clothing the Canadian
finds keen enjoyment in the bracing winds
The blood is not frozsn in his veins. 1t tin
giles in his checks as he exercises heartily In
the open air. He adapts himsslf to the sit
uation. He masters it The blast before
which we shrink he defeA The snow which
lies in his pathway he overcomes with a de-
vice borrowed from the Indian and walks
the frozen crust as easily as we may
pass over the shaven lawn. Crawl
tation becomes his courser as he
sweeps exultantly down the mountain
sides, improving upon the coasting which
Americans leave to boys, and Chicagoans,
who don't know what an elevation means,
cannot quite understand. Brave in furs and
woolens he guides the bell-laden horses that
whisk his cutter through the CHEEKY streets.
He builds Ice palaces as temples 10 the god
Of winter, whom he finds more genial than
even tho divinity of the grape. He is abroad
in the blasts, and every breath OF the pure.
frosty air is an inspiration.
Tho valley OF the st. Lawrence, it may be
said, count with certainty upon a steady
winter Of ice and snow, whereas in the upper
lake region the season Is variable, and we
prepare rather for an open than a severe
winter. Yet severity is the m ex-
p~erience and we ought to take a lesson from
the Canadians in preparing for and posi-
lively enjoying it Improved health AMI
hardihood lie that way.
