Bereaved women in New York are poster

lounge in her back parior the day after the
obsequies, when man gently pushed open
the door, and with great care deposited

apologetically behind a black glove, and
commenced a set speech. "1n the midst of

upon an old gold plush cushion, and deli
cate little pin with chain attached lay at its
side. Nothing else was visible. Finally,
when the mind had been made sore with
wonder, shining black bug shot out from
under the black peeling of the banana and
crawled about the cushion. There was thin
delicate gold ring about its body, which was
attached to the pin and chain. The bug
looked like beetle, and had a smooth, gray
glossy back and long, well formed legs A
colored porter opened the door TO admit the
curiosity seeker, and the following Informal

the listener.
Eyes, sir, intellectual women. We are
now busy getting out some on the order OF
well known ladies. The backs of the bugs
are hard and admit of mounting in rubies or
diamonds without injury TO the bug, but this
is merely matter of taste. The rings en-
circling the body are frequently set IN rubies,
though the chief beauty of the ornament IS
to have the back mounted Just imagine the
oddly of wearing a live insect set In
diamonds. Why, tell you, sir, it is one OF
the greatest crazes that ever struck the city.
They can be worn in the hair and at the
neck, and the chain that you see attached
prevents them from crawling only Just 50
far. Yes, know it makes one sbudder 70
think of it, but there is no torture too great
for stylish woman.

Duties of Physicians.

Physicians should carry the why's and
wherefores of health and disease into the
families under their care to the extent Of
their power. Hygiene and sanitation should

We do not mean that doctors can spend
time. of which they have SO little, in ex-
pounding these matters fully to their pa
tents, nor can doctors carry about il their
little medicine chests never failing supply
of brains to be given to those not well fur
nished in that way, nor supply OF self de-
NAL for those who will crafty their tastes
and whims at the cost Of health; but words Of
wisdom set thinking men and women to
studying for themselves on these subjects,
and may even cause the needless and I'M

It Is a well known fact that the character
of the fever is different IN different years \
remedy that answers admirably one year VIII
not answer at all another year. The doctors
of every city that suffers from yellow fever
have their experiences with the fever 70 tel,
and the thing which puzzles them the most is
that the treatment which appeared TO be 50
satisfactory IN one epidemic produced the
most disastrous results in another. II Is said
that Florida physician, who made great
reputation as yellow fever doctor IN 1861,
administered only whisky in large doses 70
his patients. For the next epidemic, how
ever, whisky acted as g deadly poison.
There IS no doubt that other fevers which
prevail during an epidemic assume the yell
low fever type and pass for that disease. In
the epidemic of 1873, in New Orleans, some Of
the most experienced Of the physicians INSISTED
that in some parts Of the city the prevailing
disease was not yellow fever at al, but feFer
similar to il, which they called rerD!cio1s
fever. 1t was as fatal as yellow fever, how
ever. and much more diGcult 70 treat sue

HOROSCOPES FOR A NICKEL.
Feathered Fortune Tellers Clad in Green
and YeIIow-Fiat of Fate.

Feathered Fortune Tellers Clad In Green
and YeIlow-Fiat of Fate.
Three fortune tellers and female COM
panion were at the corner Of Fourth avenue
and Twentieth street, under the control of an
Italian bearded like, a pard," who held
sway over them with stick Their names
were Maria, Giuseppe, "Cecco;" the com
panion was Carline. The fortune tellers
were clad in the brightest green, while the
companion wore washed out yellow. The
green ones were paroquets and the other was
a wilted canary. In front of the cage series
of different colored envelopes held the five
cent horoscopes of the ingenious applicant.
When some one tempted fate by putting
down nickel the bronzed Italian poked
stick into the cage and called Giuseppe"
Giuseppe clambered on the end Of the stick
and was gently extricated from bis DURANGO
vile. He at once swarmed up small lad
der but was recalled and hidden to tell the
fortune
''Gentlemen" the Italian said. "Giseppe"
waddled along on the paper walk formed By
the tops of the folded papers, gazed critically
with his small head ON one side, and then
with his bill plucked out one Of the sibylline
leaves, and headed back for the cages When
the birds were taken out they seemed to want
to go back instead of spreading their small
pinions in wild flight to the opposite curb
stone and emancipation.
The reporter read blue parchment which
Giuseppe" had printed out for him, and
passed through several degrees Of Fahren-
heit in, gathering from it his rosy fate. 1tran
as follows:
''You are very merry and lover OF the
pretty sex. You viii have many relations
with them, and by this make your fortune;
but among them will be one crazy in love
with you and will make you rich. In marry
ing her you will he subject to headache, but
this will pass in time and you will never have
any other illness. You will have many friends
who will love you, but one among them will
betray you. Beware, then, and do not let
fattery win you, and you will come out VIC
torious and live happily to 100 years OF age. n
Balancing accounts, this seemed to promise
a surplus on the side of good.
GLOW do you train them"
The Italian seemed unable to answer.
SLOW long does it take!"
ooh, six month, seven month Some
quicker than others. One have year. He

greet for tho neglected opportunities of this
