Tricks of Young Doctors.

"Some of the devices resorted to by young
disciples of Esculapius to give the public a
high estimation of the volume and respecta-
bility of their practice, are very amusing TO
those persons who are aware ofthe real num-
Der of calls they have to make" This re-
mark was made by gentleman who is a
close observer and has frequent reason to
call at the offices of numerous physicians.
"Tell me some of them."
"Well, there is one that is particularly no.
ticeable, and when tell it to you keep your
eyes open and see if am not correct. Most
all physicians have a slate One of the first
things young physician docs is to get q
slate He persuades himself he cannot get
along without one so he gets one, and gener-
ally large one. Some of them grow dis
couraged at the paucity of messages, and fill
their own slate, which generally hangs at the
front door, with imaginary calls for the doc
tor to please come in hurry to see one of
his imaginary patients. Others will not 60
thus far, but will allow every call placed on
the slate to remain there until the slate is f.
nally pretty well filled with genuine calls, but
some of them very ancient"

hittier'S Dog.

During Mr.. Whttier's recent birthday eel.
ebration he was visited among others by
Mrs. Julia Houston West After dinner
Mrs. West was asked to sing, and, seating
herself at the piano, she began the beautiful
ballad of "Robin Adair," singing 1t as she
can with all the longing and heart-break Of
the words and music in her voice. She had
hardly begun before Mr.. Whittier's pet dog
came into the room, and, seating himself by
her side, watched her as if fascinated and lis
tened with delight unuusal in an animal
When she finished he came and put his paw
very gravely into her hand and licked her
cheek.
robin takes that as a tribute to himself"
said Mr. Whittier. "he also is Robin Adair."
1t was true. That was the dogs name,
and he evidently considered that he was the
hero of the song From that moment, dur.
ing Mrs. Vests visit, he was her devoted
attendant. He kept by her side when she
was indoors, and accompanied her when she
went out to walk. When she went away he
carried her satchel in his mouth to the gate
and saw her depart with every evidence of
reluctance and distress.

On q Turtles Back.

One of the old and popular deuizens of
Fairfield is river turtle who made his first
Fardeld Journal, John R. Joy discovered
him and marked him with his initials. This
was mile from the river. In 1861, when the
war broke out, he came to the front and Ben.
ton Brown met him and marked him with
his Initials In 1868 he reappeared and was
again marked. He is in the habit of bobbing
up near the big boom, to make the acquaint
ance of the river drivers, about once in four
years. Early in 1880 he again made his ap-
pearance. Another inscription was carved
on his back and he was toted around town
for exhibition and then liberated again. He
is a great pet among the hands at the boom.

Bulls and Terse PrOlixity.

am not aware that the natural propensity
of the Irishman proper to that humorous
mixture of metaphors commonly known as
the "bull," and that of the Scotchman to
dry and terse prolixity of dialogue, have ever
been anecdotally contrasted. But the two
instances following recur to my mind, and
were personal experiences. On the first oc-
cason, just after the baccalaureale examina-
tion in Dublin, was driving down on
jaunting-car with some friends to the races at
the Currsgh of Kildare. AS we would say in
Ireland, at came on to rain very hard :" as
would be said in America, there was heavy
rain Storm" and on reaching the first road.
side inn told the driver to halt, and as we,
his passengers, jumped from the car, said,
we having had the comparative shelter OF
umbrellas:
Come in quick, Denny; you must be wet"
Faith, your honor" was his ready answer,
"if was as wet inside as am outside would
be as dry as bone!'

in the afternoon there was a wild shout of:

aft saw black man struggling in the water
a few feet aslern, and as we rose up to throw
him life preserver second woody head ap-

to rescue him and he did his work well. The
first one was poor swimmer and badly

We rushed down to interview him, and as
he leaned against pile of freight, wet but

His Serious Fault.

A physician was negotiating the other day
for horse, which was warranted sound, a
good roadster and everything that the heart
of u driver could desire. AS final prGcau

thing" hesitated the owner. "He SHES lit.

cemetery" And the man did not realize that
he had said the wrong thing till the doc
tors quizzical expression took the wool from
his wits. Well, we are all bit afraid of the
entrance to a cemetery, but, shy as we may,
thither we tend.

Fishing In Peace.

Quite an idea upon the plan and purpose
of fishing came to light at Vienna, when q
fellow went fishing down on Gum Creek
After selecting nice, shady place and COM
Portable seat he threw his hook into the stream
and drew from his pocket newspaper and
was soon lost In its columns. Directly his
cork began 10 bobble, then strong pull from
the water caused the cork to go clear under
