The Family Medical Adviser.
From Demorest's Monthly.


When you choose a doctor, it is well
to give him to understand that you are
depending upon him, and that you con-
slider him already in certain sense re-
sponsible for the physical well being Of
yourself and your family. The late DR..
Alpheus Benning Crosby well said that
his idea of a wise patient was ZONE who,
having selected an intelligent physician,
holds him personally responsible for his
life"
Having selected your physician, then
make him in reality the medical adviser
of every member of your family. Take
him into your home and give him the
opportunity to become acquainted with
the personal and family history and
physical condition of every member
thereof, so that he may be able to trace
their hereditary tendencies, recognize
their predispositions, understand their
peculiarities, and anticipate their weak
nesses-in short, to know their constitu-
tions. Having this knowledge he will be
able to give them the Wisest advice in
health, and the most successful treat
ment in sickness.

The Difference.

Necessity is not always the mother of
invention. A young lady, the daughter
of prominent citizen of a Connecticut
town, died during the recent severe
storm, because physician could not be
brought to her house.
Her father made two attempts, one
on snow-shoes. to reach the physicians
house, but the snow-drifts blocked his
way The anxious father lacked the in
ventive genius of the man mentioned
in the following brief narrative:
An old couple was very sick at North
New Haven, Mass, during the recent
storm, and the neighbors almost de-
SPARED of getting them help. 1t was
especially necessary to have woman
in the house to nurse the wife, and a
neighbor quarter of a mile away final
ly succeeded in reaching them.
He tied three long boards together,
and with two small boys to draw the
boards over the snow his wife was able
to walk over the drifts to the relief Of
the sick woman. A short board was
taken along, and the rescuing party
would stand on this while the three
boards were drawn along for another
ength. TWAS absolutely impossible to
get help to the house in any other way.

slowly guided the old engine through
the intricate tracks OF the yard. When
he got near the western limits of the
ward he saw the crowd of roughs which
he had anticipated. But be paid no at
tention to their shouts. He let out as
much steam as he dare, grabbed stick
of cord wood in one hand and his pistol
in the other, and waited for the mob.
They tried to climb on to the engine,
but King knocked one down with the
stick of wood and winged another with
his pistol. The engine was already go
ing ten miles an hour, much faster than
already past them. But he was not out
of reach of their reyolvers, and twenty
bullets came whistling into the cab
Tom felt that he was shot in several
places, but he was alive, and that, for
the time being, was all he cared about.
He gave the throttle jerk, and the old
engine went bounding forward. With
blood streaming off his face and down
his left arm-with choking sensation
in his lungs, and stinging pain in one
leg-he piled in the wood and coal I'M
til the locomotive fairly danced over the
track. It was fearful ride at terrible
speed-a ride to which that drunken
ride on No. 404 was not circumstance.
The miles flew by one by one. Tom
looked at his watch. In twenty minutes
No. would be at the trestle. He ought
to be up with her very soon. All, thank
God, there she is about two miles
ahead The poor fellow felt his strength
giving out as the blood still flowed, and
he prayed as he never prayed before that
he might be able to hold on few min
utes longer. The sparks flew out of the
smokestack, and the black smoke pulled
out in thick volume. Tom opened the
whistle, and hoarse, eerie, screech
was the result, but he could not attract
the attention of the trainmen on No. s.
Closer and closer King brought his old
engine up to the train. There was not
hundred yards between them when
on curve, the engineer of No. S caught
sight of the pursuing engine, heard the
short, jerky screams of the whistle and
perceived Tom King waving red flag.
No. was brought to standstill, and
hundred or more hui" an beings were
saved from horrible death.
But that was Tom Kings last run. AS
the boys gathered round him in the old
engine cab be just managed to gasp
"Y ellow-Dog-trest and sank ex-
hausted from the loss of blood.
Very tenCerly they carried him to the
baggage-car and laid him on soft robes,
but the brave fellow only lived few
moments. He was badly riddled with
pistol bullets.
They took him back that night to Track
vile, and as Robert Leslie looked upon
the face of his old friend, he wildly re-
called Tom Kings own words, Rob,
I will be man-'till [ die

A Child's Remarkable Eyes.
From the Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

From The Cincinnati Enquirer.
One of the most remarkable freaks of
nature that can be found in the world is
to be seen in the person of little Emma
Byers, the six-year-old daughter of
Michael Byers, an employe of the Gin
cinnati Ice Company. Little Emma
since her birth has lived in close con-
fnement, and for the entire period of
her existence has been carefully guard
ed by her mother, SO fearful have her
parents been of her safety.
She possesses eyes of such peculiarly
that, as curiosity attraction, she sur
passes any human being ever born. In
her right eye is a perfect form of a doll
baby, handsomely dressed and with
features positively beautiful. In the
left eye is miniature crescent. These
strange figures are not imaginative, but
plainly to be seen, and can be readily
distinguished at distance of four or
five feet.
The strangest thing about this freak
is the fact that little Emma has perfect
sight. She can see the smallest object
some distance away, and in looking into
the eyes of another person looks as
straight as the most natural pupil could

READING ON THE FARM.


song OF IOIis
IJp with the birds in early morning
The dewdrop glows like a precious gem:
Beautiful tints in the skies are dawning,
She has never moment to loog at them.
The men are waiting their breakfast early
She must not linger, she must not wait.
For words that are sharp and looks that are
Sufly
Are what men give when meals are late.
The day grows hot, her hand grows weary.
oh for an hour to cool her head
Out with the birds in the wind so CHEEKY,
But she must get dinner and bake the Bread
The busy men in the hay field working,
Should they see her sitting with folded hands
They would call her lazy and say she was shirk-
ing,
She never could make them understand.
They do not know that the heart within her
Is filled with hunger for things subime
They only know they want their dinner,
Plenty of 1t and just on time.
Then after the sweeping and churnng and bak-
ing,
And dinner and dishes are ali put by.
She sits and sews, though her head is aching,
Till time for supper and chores draws nigh
Her boys at school must look like others,
She says, as she patches their frocks and
hose,
For the world is quick to censure mothers
For the least neglect of children's clothes.
Her husband comes from the field of labor,
He gives no praise to his weary wife;
She has done no more than her busy neig hbor,
lis the lot of all in country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle,
When life is done and she lies at rest
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her sons and daughters shall call her blest.
And think the sweetest joys of Heaven,
The rarest bliss of eternal life,
The farest crown of all will be given
Unto the way-worn farmers wife.

A Cat Inside a Whirling Wheel.
From the Utica IN. " Observer.


On the shaft which runs the Observ-
er press is loose pulley, over which
the belt passes when the press
is not in use. This pulley is
of iron and hollow. Next to it
is light pulley, to which the belt is
shifted when it is desired to start the
press. The engine was started about s
O. clock, and with it the loose pulley.
1t had been running about two hours
when FRESHMAN Ryals noticed some
thing white inside the fast revolving
pulley, which he thought to be rag or
piece of paper. The engine was
stopped to make an investigation.
Then it was found to be white cat
snuglv curled up inside the pulley. 1t
did not seem possible that pussy could
be alive after making about 400 revolu
tons minute for nearly two hours, but
when an attempt was made to take
her out she darted into the further or
tight pulley, and fought like a young
tiger anyone who essayed to remove
her. She was finally dislodged, howev-
er. She then proceeded to prove that
she was as lively a cat as ever, and it
was some time before she could be
captured. AS matter of fact, the cat
did not appear to have suffered in the
least by what it had undergone.

A Rent in a Robe of Justice.
From a Washington Letter.

Congress almost went out of gear to-
day. The midday hour of IL came, but
the solemn little procession Of black
petticoated supreme justices of the
United States failed to cross the CORR
dor from their robing room to the an
teroom of the court chamber. One
minute passed after II. Still they came
not and all the world wondered. Finally
at three minutes past II o'clock they
came out. Mr.. Justice Lamar walked be-
hind, trife worried and embarrassed,
for his had been the awful fault Of three
minutes delay: Inadvertently, be had
stepped on the tail Of Mr.. Justice
Matthews gown, and had torn several
folds out of the shoulder of the sacred
garment. Mr.. Matthews could not
think of appearing on the supreme
bench with the shoulder of his g wn
torn, and so justice took a rest while
the baiIiff was sent scurrying around to
seek aid A trustv female was found
who, with deft needle and black
thread, sewed up the torn folds tenn
porarily. Three minutes were thus
lost. But to make up for it the con-
scientious supreme bench sat until
three minutes past 4.

A Red Man in All His Glory.
From the Portland Oregonian.

From the Portland OTegOnian.
A gorgeous specimen OF that nowadays
somewhat rare bird, blanketed In
dian, was seen yesterday sitting on the
sidewalk at the foot of Morrison Street
and attracted much attention. His
blanket outshone the historical coat of
Joseph in the number and brilliancy of
its colors, cowboy hat adorned his
head, his long switch" of black hair
awoke envy in the hearts of all females
who saw it, broad circlet OF pale-blue
beads surrounded his swarthy neck, his
flannel shirt was worn la Byron and
his pantaloons of red blanket were made
in separate parts, so that one leg could
be worn at time if desired, aud his
pigeon-toed feet were incased in buck
skin moccasins. He had just been tried
in Judge Deady's- court for furnishing
LIQUOR to his red brethren, and, having
pleaded guilty, was fined $40 and one
day in the Umatilla County skookum-
house. In year or two more blanket
ed Indians will be as scarce as hens
teeth and when such a fellow as the
above described comes to town he should
be photographed and the shadow Sc
cured before the substance fades

Close Quarters with an Alligator.
From the San Francisco News.


Lazaretto Creek, a short distance from
Tybee, was the scene yesterday OF
fearful combat between three fisher
men and monster alligator. The fish
ermen had been down the creek fish
ing, and were on their way back to the
city They drew their boat to their
place of landing, and as they did they
were confronted by an alligator meas
uring nine feet in length AS the boat
landed within three feet of the saurian,
he lashed the sides and edges of it
fiercely with his tail, and was, only pre-
vented from capsizing it by the prompt
ness of the fishermen in Selling their
oars and beating him over the bead and
body. The contest lasted fully an hour
before the animal was captured NJ.
G. Russell, who was one of the party,
secured lasso, and in the struggle sue
ceeded in fastening it around the ga
tors upper jaw. He struggled to es-
cape at first, but was finally subdued,
and the fishermen carried him to the
Ocean House, and put him on exhibit
ton. During the combat he snapped
one of the men on the leg, severely
wOundiOo him.

Cob Meal for Swine,

George T. W., Washington County.
Pa, writes to the Stockman: $50 slow
on it. Some twenty-five years ago I
had fine lot of young hogs, and, tax
ing up with the advanced IDEAS Of the
time, ground and cooked corn and cob
for them. It was ground fine. and
cooked well. and for three weeks all
went we'll. | was sure [ had a good
thing. About that time the hogs quit
eating and were evidently suffering;
and, as they were quite fat, butch
cred them at once, and found in the
stomachs and intestines cause enough
for their condition. In grinding the
finty section at the point of the grain of
corn was reduced to point at one end
and slightly rounded at the other, about
the shape of small cucumber seed.
The sharp end had penetrated the
stomach and entrails throughout in
patches, creating an Inflammation that
must soon have killed the hogs. This
meal was ground on buhrs. The corn
was new and not we'll dried. This ex-
pertinent satisfied me of the entire
worthlessness of cob meal for hogs.
For Eliminating animals the case may be
different. Where ground on a metal
the resulting meal is different, being cut
and crushed, and, so far as | have tried
it, is q good feed for cattle"
