A PhvsIoIan's porlI.

In the life of a medical man Of large
and influential practice, there must be
many and varying episodes, but there are
few adventures that can surpass in hor-
ror the one recently experienced by DR..
Morrison at Paris. A man Of fine man
ners and appearance was introduced into
his consulting groom, who Immediately
accosted the medical man with this
startling declaration: "For years past
l have been suffering the most intense
agony from disease of the lungs; have
tried every treatment, but in vain. l
am informed that the liver cut from the
yet warm human frame will effect GER
tain cure, and l have chosen you as the
victim
The doctor gasped with terror as he
saw the maniac advance toward him with
sharp stilletto in his hand, but in
stantly recovering his presence of mind,
he replied with cool emphasis: "You
are quite right, my friend, but in order
to effect cure the organ must be in a
sound state; now have suffered for
years with liver complaint, but can
introduce you to q brother practitioner
of mine upon whom you can make the
experiment" The madman consented,
and in few moments he was secured
and conducted to an insane asylum. His
name is Rehl, a native of Hanover, oc-
cupying wealthy position in society.
DIR. Morrison was so affected by the scene
that he was stricken down with an at
tack of apoplexy on the same night.

Sleeping With the Head to the North

1t is far from a modern idea that the
position of the body in sleep may be
beneficial or otherwise. The idea is
centuries old. Nor is the belief confined
to Christian lands. The Hindus relig.
iously believe that to sleep with the head
10 the north will lengthen ones days;
to the south will shorten them; to the
east will bring riches; to the west will
bring change of scene.
Among millions of people there is a
notion that the head in sleep should al
ways be to the north and the feet to the
south. In Germany this is more firmly
believed than anywhere else. A cele-
brated old German professor, who died
few years ago at the age of ninety
eight years, declared in his will that he
had attained to his unusually long life
mainly because of his having always
taken this position at night. A Scotch
physician has recently written an arti.
Gle on the subject. He says that when
other means, of quieting sick children
have failed he has turned their heads to
the north, and nine times out of ten
sleep has soon followed. (Skeptica! ones
have asked why the doctor did not try
lnls never lalllnS remedy IN lne nrSt
place.. There are scores of other au-
thorities to the same effect. Many peo-
pie account for the supposed benefits of
sleeping in this position by the claim
that sleep is easier with the head toward
the north. They all have something to
say about the magnetic currents of the
earth, of which the wisest philosophers
declare they have no certain knowledge.
If the healthfulness of the particular
position they recommend is a fact, still
the explanations are mere guess work.
Whether it is fact or not, any one can
easily decide for himself; but the ma.
jority of people, trying for the first time
the experiment, believeit to be "all hum
bug" and the trial only confirms them in
this opinion. Or there is a disposition
to find it true, which influences their
judgment, Some persons who have tried
the experiment with an earnest purpose
to get at the truth, think there is moth
ing in the theory; but even if this be so,
1t is as harmless fancy as one could in.

Rowing a GondOla.

A letter from Venice to the Memphis
ADaldncbe has the following It was the
first evening / was in a gondola, and,
after admiring the skill and ease with
which the gondolicr manipulated his
oar, was struck with the idea of at
tempting the feat myself. Nothing
looked easier than to initiate that swarthy
Italian, to stand up on the rear end Of
the gondola, and dip the oar in and out
of the water
''You look tired, " I said to the gon.
doler; eff YOU like you may rest awhile
and l will row for YOU"
Had / offered to stand on my head
and walk to Milan the man could not
have looked more astonished.
"You, sienore" he exclaimed; ''why,
you couldn't even learn to stand up here
under two months"
"Pooh," said l, 'T have rowed boats
on the Missssippi-from Memphis as far
as Hopefeld. Do you think l don't
know how to work this numbering thing
on the smoother waters of Venice!"
The gondolier smiled very unsatis-
factory smile.
"Ah, buono-good signore. l take
you where you have nice swim. Signore,
you take clothes off.
This was consoling advice to a conf
dent oarsman, not very flattering to my
pride, still l thought l might as well
follow his advice; so he slowly padded
me over to the lagoons between the cem-
etery and Muran's. ] Invested myself of
all clothing and prepared for first les
son in the Venetian style of gondolier-
ing. As have said, it looks to be the
easiest thing in the world. The Condo
lier stands at the extreme end of the
long, slim boat, and the oar rests in an
oar lock that stands up from the deck
foot or eighteen inches. There is moth
ing to hold the oar in the lock, but this
did not notice until tried it myself.
It stayed there so quietly and pleasant
ly as long as the Italian was at the stern
that the idea never entered into my head
but that it belong there and stayed of
its own accord. Woful mistake.
l had scarcely taken position on the
stern of the boat and made my first stroke
when the oar few out of that lock in a
miraculous manner, that | am to this
minute unable to understand, and | flew
out of that boat into the water. Then
it was that thanked the gondolier for
his timely warning and advice. The
knapsack traveller does not carry with
him very extensive wardrobe, and had
fallen into the water with my clothing
on 1 would have been in a very bad
plight indeed. AS it was, swan around
awhile, had a good bath, then climbed
into the gondola, and tried it over again,
and with the same result. A third and
fourth attempt proved no more success
full, and finally came to the conclusion
that gondoliering was not as easy as it
looked, and so dressed myself and
turned the oar over to the proper hands.

A Dog Tanning the Baby.

Dog stories are always in order, pro-
vided they are true. A gentleman in one
of the suburban wards owned a fine
specimen of the spaniel breed, which is
very fond of children, and when any little
ones visit his masters house constitutes
himself their companion, Playmate and
guardian. A few days ago lady with
an infant visited the gentleman, and in
the course of the day the child was laid
on a pillow on the floor to amuse itself
for time. The dog took his place near
the little one, as usual. The day was
hot and the flies bad, and they made the
baby the target of frequent attacks.
This rendered her restless. Doggie
watched her for a few minutes, and then,
walking close up, with his nose or paw
drove away every fly as soon as it lit on
the baby's face, and did it so gently, too,
as not TO disturb her in the least. The
dogs actions attracted the attention of
the mother aud others, who were filled
with astonishment at his thoughtful
kindness. This story has the merit of
truth. Pittsburg Chronicle.

REMARKABLE LoNGEvITY.-Dr. Ma
than Allen, of Lowell, Mass, con-
tributes to the Mail of that city an
article on health and longevity, in
which, by way OF illustration, he cites
the following remarkable facts from
the records of his ancestors sin
1850 two brothers, Jonathan and Ne
hemiah Allen, went from Sudbury TO
Barre, when the latter place was a
comparative wilderness. They be-
longed to the third generation from
Walter Allen, who died in Charles
town in 1851, and willed to his oldest
son, John, Waterfront farm of 200
acres, which afterward became a part
of Sudbury. These two brothers,
with wives from Lexington and Con-
cord, settled in Barre as farmers.
Jonathan Allen and wife died at the
ages of 80 and 81. They had seven
children, one dying in infancy but
three sons and three daughters died at
the ages of 81, ~, n, Sc, 81 and SO,
with an average, Including the frac-
tons of a year, of over 80. Nehemi-
