The Gift of Healing.

The gift Of healing scrofula and similar
diseases, claimed for centuries by our
kings, lasted, as we know, to the age of
Queen Anne, and the service used on the
occasion can be read in the Common
Prayer Book printed in her reign That
very sacred king, Charles II-if we may
believe an eye witness, one of his own
surgeons-performed many hundreds of
cures, and is said to have touched in
twenty-one years upward of 81, 900 suf-
ferers. "God give you better health and
more sense" was the benediction of Will
lam III over the only person he could be
persuaded to touch. The writer observes
that though the belief in the virtue OF the
royal touch was silly superstition, it
was not, as Macaulay terms it, an i'm
posture, since patients were often cured
by the impression produced on the nervous
system, the excitement caused by the
royal touch in cases of scrofula causing a
fraer flow Of blood to the part affected.
The remedies given by physician in
corner days appeared to be often founded
on conjecture, and were sometimes worse
than the disease. Cardau q man of great
genius, and as much renowned for mathe-
mates as for medical skill, wrote a pre-
scription composed of pearls, gems and
the bone of unicorn, and when troubled
with sleeplessness he relates that he APP
piled bears grease to seventeen places on
the body. Cardan, who, by the way, was
summoned in the last illness of Edward
vi, was very superstitious. His son had
been executed for poisoning his wife, and
the fatlter, in dream, heard voice tell
ing him TO put iIto his mouth the emerald
he wore round his neck, and that would
enable him to forget his son. He did so,
he says, with such good results that he
was always oppressed when be could not
have the stone between his lips.

a boys life was saved In singular
manner near Gilroy Valley, Cal, not long
since. The lad, = son Of Mel O'Brien,
while putting On an undershirt one morn

tarantula, which was concealed In one Of
the sleeves Of the garment, before he
could tiivest himself of 1t and kill the
wrathsome thing. His father, nushing TO
him on henifng his outcry, took in the
situation Mt glance and hurriedly killed
turkey. The bird was ripped open in
the stomach and laid entrails and all, on
the child's arm, and pienteous doses Of
whisky administered at the time and dur
ing the drive to town for medical assist

AN INVERTED LOVE STORY.

/ am poor, paralyzed fellow. who for
many years past has been confined to a
bed or sofa For the last six years /
have occupied a small room, looking on to
one of the narrow side canals OF Venice,
having no one about me but deaf old
woman, who makes my bed and attends
to my food: and here exc out poor in
come of about ESQ year hs making
water color drawings Of flowers and
fruit they are the cheapest models in
Venice, and these send Il q friend in
London, who sells them t. a dealer for
small sums. But, on the whole, l am
happy and content.
It is necessary that should describe the
position of my room rather infinitely. Its
only window is about five feet above the
water of the canal, and above it the house
projects some six feet, and oyerhangs the
water, the projecting portion being sup
ported by stout piles driven into the bed
OF the canal. This arrangement has the
disadvantage {arnong others OF so limit
ing my upward view that am unable TO
see more than about ten feet of the height
of the house immediate opposite TO me,
although by reaching as far ont of the
window as my infrmity will permit can

Slave. of the Hare.n.

As for the women who were, or are still,
slaves by purchase in Persia, the bondage
is OF the nominal character. They can
by no possibility be separated from their
husbands, while II, as usually happens,
they become concubines Of theiI masters
and have children b, him, they practically
become wives and share similar privileges
of the wives OF the second grade. Often
they become favorite wives and the moth
ers of men Of rank. If slaves of the shah.
the child elevates the mother 10 the posi-
ton, perhaps, of queen dowager.
1t should be considered, in regard to the
seryitude of Persian or Turkish women
who enter the harem by purchase that
they would have but little choice if they
married by free will, not knowing their
husbands previously, and il their dowry
is small they must marry poor men and
work hard all their lives; whereas, If trey
are purchased, it would naturally be by
men Of means, and they would have an
excellent chance of reaching higher po-
sition and greater luxury under his roof
than rs the wives Of peasants.-S. G. w.

The residents Of that famous slang pro-
ducing district known as Kensington
have brand new phrase by which to ex
press the degree of inebriety to which a
lover of the ardent may have attained in
indulging his taste A couple of inebri-
ated chaps were vending their crooked way
up the principal thoroughfare, and one OF
them in an exuberance OF spirits clapped
the other upon the shoulder and loudly
expressed his opinion Of the other fellows
virtues. The shock of the blow was
enough to shake the hat from his head
and it rolled into the gutter. "Thash
SOL" assented he, with drunken serious
ness, but lhic) I'sh too drunk to stand 'sh

standing near at the time appreciated the
phrase, and It is now on the list as u
