OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.
Poet. PHYSICIAN. Humorlst

Oliver Wendell Holmes, though now
in his seventy-seventh year. is still
hale and hearty, looking very much as
he has forforty years past and is at pres
ent in England. where he arrived few
days since, being granted welcome and
distinguished attentions, perhaps never
before accorded to any citizen of the
United States paying visit there in
purely private capacity.
DIR. Holmes was born in 1909. in the
old 'gambrel-roofed" house in Cam
bridge, Mass. opposite the Harvard
University buildings. His father. the
Rev Abiel Holmes, ID. D., was an en-
inent preacher, and was long pastor of
the First Congregational Church of
Cambridge DIR. Holmes graduated at
Harvard in 1929, and adopting the
medical profession. completed his
studies in 1886. Up to 1S47 he filled
the ckair of Anatomy and Physiology
at Dartmouth. He then assumed az
similar professorship at Harvard He
continues in his retirement resident
of Boston.
II would be difficult to say whether
DR.. Holmes enjoys greater distinction
As a physician or man of letters. Both
in the theory and practice of medicine
he has achieved the most brilliant sue
cess. His graceful and polished style
invests the dryest topics with peculiar
charm, and makes him one of the best
known and most popular of American
authors.
His earliest work in verse was in the
form of contribution to the Collegian,
paper published by undergraduates
at Harvard. He has written many
verses with college anniversary occa-
Sions as their subject. The problems
created by the interdependence of
mind and matter have employed DIR.
Holmes pen, both as man of sci
ence and as literary man. In his
Currents and Under-currenis in
Medical Science, and in ''MechanicSf
and Morals, he deals with them FROM
the scientific, and in Elsie Nenner, q
a romance, from the artistic stand-
point. The Atlantic Monthly had DIR.
Holmes among its founders, and The
Autocrat of the Breakfast Table"
appeared first in the pages of that
periodical. Several medical journals
and the North American Review and
the International Review have been
enriched by contributions from the
versatile doctor, who seems to be
equally ready for profound disquisition
on wide range of subjects and for
the composition of those .'iriiles"
which will always be treasured as ex-
pressions of genius. Who does not
know the One Horse Shay and the
september Gale? The apt sweets
ness of his sentimental verses is
appreciated by all readers of taste.

remark about cold feet. Surely said

with Tribulation.

James Smith, young timer Of
Paducah. Ky, formed az attachment
for Miss Annie Bucsler, pretty girl
who lived with her aunt The girl was
favorable to Smiths suit, but the aunt
opposed il because Of the young mans
humble station. Without needing
this, the couple made preparations to
marry, and the ceremony was set
for SUNDAY morning. The aunt learn
ing this locked Ter niece in her room.
On Saturday Smith secured a lawyers
services, and instituted an action for
the girl release on wit of habeas
corpus. The aunt repaired To the
court room with her attorney to defend
the case. While the trial was in pro-
gress the girl escaped from her prison,
sent a messenger to the court room for
the would-be groom. and while the old
lady was still engaged fighting the
habcas corpus proceedings the lovers
skipped across the river and were
married. Before the Judge gave his
decision news of the elOpement reached

than dignity. The old lady was mad.
but in time cooled, and consented to
forgive the pair.

In the feeding of calves the nearer
we come to nature the better for the
calves. 1t is Il wise provision Of ma
ture that all young animals take their
food naturally BY sucking. Milk, in
order to be fully assimilated, must be
fully mixed with saliva. If taken in
large drafts it often produces serious
complications, and hence every one
who feeds calves artificially should
provide some means by which the milk
NAV be taken slowly. This is best ac-
complished by providing an artificial
teat at the bottom of the can contain
inc the milk. When the calf begins to
eat solid food it may drink the milk.

appended. This is an heirloom In the
Cleveland family, it having originally
been the property of Ronald de Cleve-
lande of Clevelande Manor, Devon
shire. 1t has been handed down from
generation to generation, and has seen
much service. When gazing upon this
relic of other days one can scarcely re-
frain from rejecting that if that old
toothbrush could speak it would tell
some weird tales indeed.
1t will naturally be suggested that
the elegance of this trouSseau lilac
cords with the protestations of Jeffer-
sonian simplicity made by the Admin
istralion. No cnaritably-disposed per
son can entertain such view. A man
is not married very often in this brief
life of ours. aud when he does indulge
in a wedding ne should do his best TO
apparel himself with briliiancy betit-
ting the occasion. Nevertheless. it IS
surmscd that when the Chief Magis-
trate attires himself IN his drcss-suit
his brilliant collar, cuffs, and necktie,
his socks and slippers, and his night
cap, then it is surmised that the
Chi Magistrate will look highly spec
tacular.
