The EngitSh specialist VINO treats the
German Crown Princes Throat.
Three generations ago Ross-shiro
Highlander put a shilling about some
part of his person and set his face
across the Scottish border. His name
was Mackenzie, he amasscd a good
fortune, and his grandson grew into IA
mad doctor of much ability. but OF re-
firing habits. To this physician, then
living at Leytonstone, Eng, there
was born, fifty years ago, son, who
was named Morrell, after an uncle,
who persisted very creditably in the
loss of the Pegasus. Young Morrell
was left to run wild in Epping Forest
to an advanced boyhood, but he pro-
crossed well later; took a high degree
at the University of London; adjured
the retiring habits of his father;
screwed brass plate on his door, and
took to looking down peoples threats
for gnineas. His success in private
practice was great and Immediate, and
in few years after setting up he
could give to physicians who had been
established q lifetime score of pa.
tients and beating.
He became specialist. He wrote
books on Diseases of the Throat and
Nose" and on the Hygiene of the
Vocal Organs" He founded the Hos
pital for Diseases of the Throat, in
Golden Square, obtained all the profess
sional honors in general which throat
and nose can give, and became the
special champion of specialism in med
icine as opposed to general routine, IN
which capacity he largely developed
and amply displayed the bellicose and
controversial predisposition he had in-
herited from the original Highlander.
A few months ago he was called in to
deal with the throat of the Crown
Prince of Germany. which had baffled
all the German doctors, and this he
has treated with such success that it
has been made the occasion for con-
ferring upon him the distinction of a
knighthood. Sir Morrell is man of
wealth, of capacity and of strong indi-
viduality. He has long been the ply
stefan and friend of all singers and
actors. and he has a son who is al
ready making name as comedian.
He can often see joke, which is un-
usual for a Seotchman,-LoHdog Taa-

Mrs. E. B. G., EVERETT makes a

If man fails to exercise consider.
able caution in the matter of renting
an apartment nowadays he is liable to
have Marquis or Baron or even a
Duke for his landlord. 1t is no less a
person than the Duke di Castelluccia
who pockets monthly the rent of
property on Thirtieth street, known as
the Burlington. The house is truly
ducal in its magnificencc, splendidly
built, and finished rs to interior decor
alton in manner that is profuse in
luxury. The apartments are en- suite,
and those on the lower floor, which are
occupied by the proprietor and his wife,
are furnished with rare and expensive
taste. But surer proof, in these lux
urious days, of the validity of the land
lord's title is the exact way in which he
collects rents, the smallest extra find
ing its way into the bill. Yet it is given
out that the Burlington is but u hobby
of the Dukes.
Another apartment-house, one in
West Twenty-third street, is said to be-
long to Baron Blame, the actual noble
for there exists an adventurer who calls
himself by the same title. Baron
Blanc is the son of French nobleman
of the name who was honored with so
important post as that of minister of
war during the dynasty of Napoleon
iii. The father is also universally
known to the commercial world of the
United States as the first, and at one
time the largest, importer to America
of Lyons silks. His son was, few
years ago, the architect of Melville
Smiths arcade underground railway,
and he enjoys the reputation of man
of the strictest honor. His associates
and intimates speak of him rs man
extremely punctilious in money mat
tiers. After he came to this country
the young Baron Blanc earned a hand
some income by his profession, in
which he was so skillful that lead
ing corporations actively COM
pctcd for his services as draughts-
man of plans. Consequently the
young Frcnchman never had need to
draw upon the ample resources of his
father. When he married Mrs. Rigl,
the wealthy Philadelphan, Baron
Blame ceased to use the square and
compass, and from being builder be-
came a landlord. There is no reason
to suppose his income suffers by the
change. A story is related of him
which dates back to his arrival in New
York. A few days subsequent he en-.
deavored to interest n capitalist in q

Jones Paid the Money.

In Providence are two men who look
very much alike, and who may be called
Jones and Johnson. Jones is rather
influential member of n congregation
presided over by new pastor. who,
soon after his installation, started out
with a subscription paper in n worthy
cause. He met johnson on the street,
"0h, my dear Mr.. JONES'" said he. II
have been told that yon are interested
in this cause. l hope that you will
give freely" Certainly" said John
son, who was quick-witted. Put me
down for one hundred dollars" Days
passed and Jones didn't send the
money; so the parson called at his
office, and said that he'd be glad to
have the money. what money!
asked Jones. "Why the one hundred
dollars that you subscribed" Jones
couldn't remember any such subscrip-
ton, but he did remember that about
that time he was on quiet and very
private spree. Could he have met the
pastor then and subscribed? Possibly,
and so, rather than confess his weak
ness to his pastor. he paid the one hun
dred dollars. johnson soon told of his
share in the joke, but he refuses to &C
cept JonSs's suggestion and pay him
fifty dollars. IN Y Sun,

The Higher Education.

The Rev. DIR. Dumbell and the Louis
vile Couraer-JournaL are rehashing the
old arguments against the higher cdu-
cation of women. They intimate that
if woman is permitted to learn Latin
and Greek, she will turn into man,
or at all events will cease to be
woman. A dozen years ago. Colonel
Higginson wittily exposed the fallacy
which "confounds the laws of sex with
the laws of Digestion"
"Man and woman being of different
sexes. says some psychologist, must
obviously require different intellectual
diet. Why so, if they do not need
different physical diet3 If we go home
and dine with the Psychologist, we find
him politely assisting his wife to soup,
and his daughter to roast mutton,
ignoring the fact of sex. His own
dinner-table refutes his theory; his
knife is sharper than his logic, and his
joints of mutton disjoint his argument.
Sex is certainly as marked in the body
as it is anywhere. Yet nature shows
an essential identity of the digestive
system in man and woman. If this is
true of the body, it would seem to be
true of the mind. To say. boys study
Greek and mathematics, therefore
girls, being different, should not. is as
if you said, boys eat beef and potatoes,
therefore girls, being different, must
find something else to eat. resist the

Herero have one teacher each. These
have studied the languages they teach

they are assisted by natives. This

In China artificial oyster culture
is largely practiced. Bamboo oyster
fields are constructed b.. attaching old
shells to poles which are planted on
mud flats between high and low-water
mark, but subject TO strong tidal cur
rents. The oyster spat adheres to the
shells and soon develops into tiny oys-
tiers. Then the bamboos are trans
planted. In six months they are found
to be covered with well-grown bivalyes,
which are then marketable.
