The warm impulses of DR.. Gaudier's
heart overwhelmed him. He had no
thought of resentment for the terrible
rebuke laid upon him by the young
man. Crushed beneath the weight OF
/ his heavy conscience, he sat and
sobbed until DIR. Atkins tenderly laid
a hand upon his shoulder and said:
Tell me, doctor, that success in our
profession is not a trick
I mo, no, Frank. it is not. You were
right. All you said Of me was true,
1t is not success; it is villainy." And
the broken and contrite old man flung
his arms around DIR. Atkins and wept
on his shoulder until the young man
led him from the room, consoling him
as best he might.
DR.. Gaudier never visited another
patient professionally. He called upon
them all, but it was to say that he had
retired from practice and to recon-
mend DIR. Atkins as the physician whom
! he deemed more competent and moro
worthy than any other in Atwater.

Figs As Food.


: One of the Persian kings caused the
celebrated Attic figs to be set before
him wheneverh he dined, for one reason,
to remind him that the land where
they grew was not yet his, and that,
instead of receiving the fruit as tri-
butte, he was obliged to buy it from
abroad; and, for another, that it was
not only the emblem of health, but
the most wholesome fruit grown. The
fig is now pretty well known to be,
especially at certain seasons, almost
the common food of the Italian people;
and for months they may be said to
dive entirely upon it. As Dir. Nichols
says, it is not only possible for a man
TO live upon figs, but, sitting under his
own vine and tg tree, man has plen-
fy of food and no landlord. When
eaten fresh the fig is Il medicine as
awell as food; and they who eat freely
need no potions and no aperients. Full
of nutrition and all those properties
that make it valuable as an article of
diet, we are confident that the fig Will
take prominent position in the esti-~
mation of all who work for and believe
an food reform. For myself, | would.
simply add that, again and again.,
without liquid of any kind, the lus-
cious green lig, eaten with whole e-meal
sbread, has formed dish at once SIM
Ple but rich, and, like the Spaniard's
salad, fit for king. The fig is not
only popular, but it is the most ancient
fruit we cultivate, In many countries
the failure of this crop also means
starvation and famine. Travellers in
Asia Minor and southern Europe pro-
vide themselves with figs and olives as
provisions for long journeys. and not
only live, but grow fat on the diet.
The fig has more medicinal properties
and more nutriment than any other
fruit with the exception of the olive

The Queen Of Sweden.

The queen of Sweden. like all Ger
man princesses, is a stickler for eti-
quette, and yet she is so sympathetic to-
ward the poor that she desires the
.'simplitication of life" Sometimes
the conflict between these two inter-
ests leads to funny incidents. For ex-
ample on one occasion the queen was
told that some ladies did not care to be
presented at court on account of thss
great expense incurred for low-ueek-.
ed gown that could only be worn on
this one occasion. This was a reyela-
tion to the queen and Il thought struck
her. well" she exclaimed, lat ,av

His Name Against Him.

The Hon. Daniel Dougherty, who
was heard at Central Music Hall re-
Gently, entertained few friends at
dinner in this city, and for three hours
charmed them with his fund of anec-
dote. Three brighter hours never
passed, from all l have been told.
e.My name has always been against
me-" he said as he turned the CONVEX
sation to himself IA few years ago l
was invited to be one of party of
prominent people who made an in
spection of the State penitentiary of
Pennsylvania. In going through one
of the corridors an attendant had oc-
casion, not knowing who l was, to call
out the name Dan Dougherty, and in
the twinkle of an eye three of the
hardest-looking criminals l ever saw
popped their heads out and answered
Here" Mr.. Dougherty's guests
roared at this story, for he had told it
as it can never be made to appear in
type. They had hardly recovered from
holding their hands on their sides
when he added: ''There has been a
Dan Dougherty hung in Pennsylvania
every year since | can remember" "

To the stranger visiting NePestgl.
among the most interesting of ak OBJ
jecls are the elaborate Nepaulese earv-
ings, which are executed principally in
the splendid wood of the sal-tree,
from the Terai forest. Not only the
temples and palaces, but also private
dwellings, and often the doorways of
she meanest novels even, are loaded
with ornamentation in q great variety
of designs-peacocks with outspread
tails, griffins, snakes monkeys, birds,
fruits, and flowers, scores of fantastic
beings, giants and pigmies, gods and
goddesses, temples, delicate lattice
work and screens-the aforementioned
looking at distance like gossamer
lace that might be marred by the
slightest breeze.
These carvings are too often disfgur-
ed, however, by obscene representations.
The reason assigned for introducing
these Objectionable features is some,
mysterious magical influence thew are.
supposed to exert in warding off evil.

Star reporter of the elevator con-

the other day.
Some do and some do not" was the
reply, as the cable-puller turned to ex-
plain TO a lady in the car that the trip
upward occupied about nine minutes.
"l'll tell YOU" he explained, turning
oack to the reporter. 1.-The first lady
who became frightened in the mOnu-
ment came the other day. She was
the first and only one. We had hardly

to get nervous. and getting more and

Here the conductor had to interrupt
himself to reassure man huddled
away back in the corner of the car that
the same elevator had carried tons and
tons of stone to the top of the monu-
menJ and had been pronounced per-
fectly safe by all the authorities. Then
he resumed, lowering his voice some
what us he said:
"On the other hand have had to
stop ut least twenty times for the bene-
fit of men who would not go any high
er. Why, l have seen great, big,
strong men, who looked as though
they weren't afraid of anything, get
trembling and finally ask me to let
them off and walk. Particularly fat
men, too" with reminiscent chuckle.
"Fat men are afraid of their weight,
particularly If they are with a large
crowd. l can't explain why this
should be-" he concluded, just as
the car emerged from the semi-dark-
ness of the shaft into the whittier,
brighter light of the top landing, "but

clusion that the women are not the

Tobacco Smoke.

The experiments of V. Tassinari will
rejoice the hearts of many smokers,
saws the GentLemdn's Magazine. He
cemented together by their wide
mouths two glass tunnels so as to form
cigarholder with large chamber
in the middle. In this chamber was
suspended from loop of platinum
small piece of linen. At one end of
this cigar-holder was plug of cotton
wood acting as smoke filter. A cigar
was placed in the other end, lighted
and smoked secundum artem, the
mouth of the smoker being attached
to the tiltering end. By this arrange
ment the piece of linen was surround
ed by dense cloud of tobacco smoke.
At the end of half an hour, during
which three and halft four grammes
(abOut one-eigth of an ounce) of to-
baccO was smoked, the chamber was
opened and the linen allowed to fall
into test-tube containing fluid gela-
tine in which was planted colonies of
seven varieties of pathogenic microbia,
including those of cholera, anthrax
Chicken cholera), and pneumonia.
In every instance there was marked
delay in the development of these col
onies as compared with what occurred
in similar test-tubes charged with the
same, but not exposed to tobacco
smoke. The special constituent of the
smoke that has this effect is to be the
subject of further investigation.

plicatiOn. There is little doubt that
contagious diseases are in these days
frequently communicated by the aid of
railways carriages, especially first
class carriages, seeing that their cush-
ions and padding supply nurseries for
microbia, and invalids usually travel
by first-class, even those who would
take third class if in full health. There
fore at times when dangerous infection
prevails those who are liable to such
Infection should select smoking car
riages, the cloth Innings of which have
been subjected to treatment similar
to that of the piece of linen suspended
in Sig. Tassinari's experimental smok-
ing compartment.
