YEARS ago (nearly thirty we knew a man
prominent as teacher in academy and SEM
| mary in one of our New England States.
His wife, an accomplished lady, seemed
physically land by early circumstances, per-
haps) rather poorly fitted to cope with the
sterner realities of life. As with many
another teacher, we suspect, up to five years
ago about all the " change " he could show
for his ife's work was a p" change " of places,
from time to time. He had reached period
of life when pecuniary success is not usually
expected for one who has hitherto failed of
it and when a change of occupation bodies
no good. Some five years ago he went West
and took up homestead and tree-claim in
one of the territories. His house was of sod
and his family underwent the privatons of
one, are peculiarly so for family whose
surroundings have been what his had been
previously. The choice of location proved
good one. His education may have served
him well in his new home The sod house
has given place to a substantial and good
one, and to-day, it is said, this family has
enough, apparently, to care for it well
through the remainder of life. - This is
the little pill - story recently told us by a
physician residing elsewhere, and who,
or wit Ia n
homeopathic physician not thousand miles
from here: The " teacher - was called, on a
painful OCCASION to administer to a patient
in the northeast part of this place, and took
f his pupil with him. The case. was di-
agnosed and " arsenicum " was to be given.
, The physician " felt " for his remedy, and
" felt " harder on discovering that not a
, pill, powder or phial did he have with him
! owing to a change of garment before start
! ing out. Nothing daunted, however, he
/, called for two glasses of water and a spoon,
/ and a clickety-clack followed, as he stirred
the water, and of course a proper potency y
was impaired toit. Directions We're given

" innocent abroad " at that time, and as they
started homeward he asked the former wha
: the effect would be. The answer came that
