The Extraordinary Professional Feat Per-
formed by a rhy,ician.
One stormy night, when tho roads

desired the dispenser OF phySic to 80

He would not take no for an answer;
so, putting the saddlc-bags upon his
horse. the physician started out upon
his journey As soon rs he saw the
sick man he knew il was nearly over
with him, and remarked to the cou-
rier:
"Petcr. you told the truth; your
friend is just at the point of death"
Cant We do Amy theeng for heem?'
replied Peter
"No; 1t is too late"
"But, docthor. amt yC goin' to give
heem ainy thing at all at all?'
ut will do no good"
"But. docthor, We have come so far,
it would be too bad TO go back without
doin' Amy thing"
For tho peace of Peters mind. the
doctor now took small quantity of
sugar from phial. and placed it upon
the dying mans tongue just as he was
drawing his last breath.
Peter, seeing his friends head drop
back, looked up to the doctor with biz
eyes, and said. half in awhisper: "Oh.

Visitors TO the Congressional Library
had their attention attracted the other

who entered with the assistance OF n

he will probably add some new

here he had something the matter with
one of his eyes, and he came to read up
on blindness. BY careful study he has
spread ailments all over himself. until
there is no point in his body that ain

his own case. and had improved upon
It. That's about the way with all o'
them. Some of them are actually SUI

are unconsciously looking for troubles

ailment, for which doctors have been
unable to give them any relief, 60 to
the library and read all the works they
can find that may, in any way, apply
to their case. Some of them become
experts in particular branches OF mcdi'
cine. They devote their whole lives to
1t, and never seem to think or speak OF
any thing else. Some, like this man,
discover that they arc in possession OF
great variety of ailments, and their
researches into medicine become very
extensive, though somewhat desultory.
Some get cured OF one complaint when
they fall into possession of another,
but others retain all the old ones and
continue 10 nurse and train them very
carefully while addihg new ones con-

voted to one particular thing. and they
