A HIGH FEE.
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars Paid for O
PhysIcian's visit.


Physicians visit.
About Il month ago London physi-
clan had n telegram from the wife of u
noble patient at Cannes: "Comc for
consultation; E1,000." The, great
doctor replied: anxious cases. Can
not come" Her ladyship seems to
have thought that this was but way of
making a better bargain, for she in
creased her offer in four successive tcle-
grams, till the last read: Come at
once, $4,000" While the first tele-
grams and replies were being sent back
ward and forward, the ''anxious cases"
considerably died or got better; so our
doctor, in his last reply, wired "Com-
ing" After he had seen his patient ut
Cannes. my lady inquired what vas his
with English clients met and fixed the
fee for consultation--thc consultant
coming expressly from London-at
1000" A check for fl,OOO was ac-
cordingly presented to him. Calling
on his way to his train next day, merely
to say goodbye and inquire after his
patient. the lady handed him an en-
velopc mot to be opened till by-and-
by" The doctor said: II have had
my fec. This visit is not profession al,
but complimentary" but being told to
put the envelope in his pocket, he did
so. Later on he found it contained q
check for f500-a sum which had no
particular relation to the ,telegraphlc
bids. Nor is this all. Four checks
came on successive days, their united
value being f3,500, all signed by her
ladyship; and at the bank, letters were
received preparing the cashier for their
presentation. The doctor wrote, say
ing he had his fec, and could take no
more. He offered to return $4,000, Or
distribute it among useful institutions.
AS the money was left in his hands, he
adopted the latter course, with the re-
suit that 1000 was given to the Mcdi-
cal Examination Hall, f1,000 to each
of two hospitals, and fl,0OO to one Of

The system Adopted Tor tho Examination
of Julius Tower at spandau.
The inspection of the Julius Tower,
at Spandau, near Berlin, in which
20,000,000 marks of the indemnity
paid by France are kept ready for any
emergency, takes place in the follow
ing way: Two members of the ma
tional debt sinking fund committee are
delegated for the purpose, but tho
castle can only be opened when they
put their little keys into the lock to-
gcther. In no other way Is the lock to
be opened. As to the time of opening,
u careful note Is to be made in the
register. The l2e, 100000 arc divided
into twelve parts, each again being di-
vidcd into ten equal sums. The money
is kept in immense bags of 100, 900
marks, of which two.thirds are in 90
mark and the rest in l0-mark pieces.
As soon as the revision begins one of
the larger divisions of money Is APP
preached, and from It smaller division
Is taken for the purpose of being
counted through. For this work a
military detachment Is told of, so that
il may be done in moderate time. Two
or three of the 100,000-mark divisions
having been counted. this part Of the
revision is over. There are also here
other imperial funds-as, for example,
portions of the Rcichstag, fertilization,
and retircd-list funds-and these, too,
have to be counted. When the revision

A Pocketful.

Among many curious and highly
characteristic anecdotes of the Rus
sian Imperial family is the following
quaint family incident" alleged to
have taken place in tho late Cars
private drawipg-room, at small
gathering, chiefly consisting of his
Majesty's near relatives.
The present Czarevich, an intelli-
gent lad of twelve, was one of his
grandfather's guests upon the occa-
sion in question:; another was the
Grand-Duke Constantine, at that time
still Lord High Admiral of the Rus
sian Fleet.
Young Nicholai Alexandrovich had,
it appears, more than once mentioned
to his grandfather, the Emperor, in
the early part of the evening, that he
had great favor to ask of his great.
uncle Constantine Nicolaievich.
In the course Of conversation the
Emperor laughingly communicated
the boys wish to his brother; where
upon Constantine called his grand
nephew to him and asked him what
he wanted.
Dear UNCLE" said the youthful
Grand-Duke. pray show me some Of
the ships that belong to your fleet"
81 cannot do that, my child" repli
cd Constantine. "The fleet is not
here. All our men-of.war are either
at sea or in port"
chat cannot be true, uncle" ex
claimed the boy, "for | heard papa
say that Mrs. Malinda Mills, Of Law
sonham, Pa, had used Piso's Remedy
for Catarrh and it had done so much
good that she believed it would cure
every one troubled with that disease,
you had put at least half the fleet
away in your own pocket"

Out in the waste of gullies near Ma
con, Ga, where the floods left their
marks of disaster and death, stands Il
little scraggy-topped tree, where two of
the negroes caught in the flood spent
their lonely vigil. The tree is green
now. 1t was leailess then. Two men
lost their lives at that time. OF late the
superstitious claim to have discovered
a peculiarly about that tree. They say
that about twilight they can see the out
line of queer figure in white perched
among the leaves, and an occasional
moan is waited on the breezes which
steal up from the river. AS the night
advances the means grow louder and
more frequent. The negroes especially
are greatly agitated over what they call

Cyclone Freaks.

Incidents of recent cyclones are still
coming in. Some of them arc very in
teresting and afford subjects for con-
sideration by scientists:
At Prosper, Mimi, the funnel-shaped
storm-cloud took up mule and held it
suspended during the cyclones course
over three counties. The mule was
finally dropped to the ground unin-
jured, but so charged with electricity
that a shock from its hind feet recently
killed dog.
At Pansyville, Ia. by one revolution
of the whirling cloud the feathers were
completely stripped from flock of
geese, and also from flock of turkeys.
In the next revolution the feathers were
replaced. but all the turkey feathers
were put on the geese and all the geese
feathers on the turkeys.
Farmer Hunter of Mud Creed, Kas.,
had q narrow escape from cyclone
lately. lie was driving along the road,
when the cloud roared by so close to his
vehicle that it carried away part of the
hubs of both wheels on one side. ms well
as the outside car of the off horse
Farmer Hunter describes tho sound rs
dreadful.
In Boomer county, Dakota, cyclone
lately swooped down upon vicious
cayuse which had been ridden by a
cowboy but finally turned loose be-
cause of its bucking and kicking pro-
pensities. The light between the cy-
clone and the pony is described by
those vino observed it from n distance
as having been very exciting. The
pony fought stubbornly, and the air was
full OF burnt hair and pieces of cyclone
kicked off by its plucky adversary. AT
the end of five minutes the cyclone re-
treated for half Il mile, but soon re-
turned, when the conflict was renewed
with increased spirit. 1t concluded ut
last in complete victory for the cayuse.
which resumed its feeding on the prai-
rie. singed but defiant. while the cy-
clone, badly bruised, fled into the next
county. No cyclone has visited Boomer
county since this occurrence. - Chicago
