A QUEER CHARACTER.
DR.. John Radcliffe aud His Treatment
Royal Patients.

DR.. John Radcliffe aud His Treatment
Royal Patients.
John Radcliffe, who for many years
was physician to King William and
Queen Mary of England, was an odd
genius. He was extremely outspoken,
and sometimes rude, even while address,
ing his royal patients; and this char
acteristic frequently brought him into
trouble. Queen Mary, it will be re-
membered, died from smallpox. When
she was taken i'll, and the symptoms
became alarming. DR.. Radcliffe WAS
sent for. He looked at the prescriptions
that had been prepared for her, and ex-
claimed: ''Her Majesty is dead
woman, for it is impossible to do any
good in her case where remedies are
given that are so contrary to the nature
of the distemper." His words were true.
There was some hopo for time, but the
Queen died. A short while afterward he
was summoned to attend the Princess
Anne. He had been drinking rather
heavily, and when her symptoms were
explained to him he said: "Her High
ness is in as good state of health as
any woman living if she can but believe
IL. ILLS was uOTo Cudu Guo 1C1uCcSS
could stand, and she secured Radcliffe's
dismissal from court. King William
could not dispense with his services,
however, and he was re-engaged. In
1897, upon his return from Loo, his
Majesty was indisposed, his symptoms
being dropsical. Radcliffe advised him
to stop making long visits to the Earl
of Bradford, with whom the King was
won't to engage in drinking bouts, If he
wished to lengthen his days. William
made another trip to Holland, and, fail
ing to be abstemious, returned to En-
gland in bad health. He sent for Rad
cliffe to come toKensington palace. and,
showing the doctor his swollen ankles,
said: doctor, what do you think OF
these?" why, truly" answered Rad
cliffe, II would not have your Majesty's
two legs for your three Kingdoms" The
daring jest WAS apparently not noticed
by the King, but not long afterward
Radcliffe ceased to be court physician.
He died November 1, 1714, leaving most
of his large fortune to educational insti-
tutions.-Chicago News.

An Excellent Device for Lifting stones
and Stumps.
The lifting out of stones and stumps,
and the after disposal of them, to say
othing OF the drawing of logs, etc,
demands continuance like the illus
tration. Putting a chain around or
grapnel hooks into the object to be
drawn, the long arm of the lever l is
raised, the hook on the short end
placed in chain link, and the weight
thrown upon the long arm. When this
has been borne to the earth and at
t,,ched to the part 2, dragging on the
ground, the obstruction is raised, the
the burden resting on the axle, 3. The
team is then attached to the draft link

load than when it rests on the ground
or an old-fashioned stone-boat.
The wheels and axle of a

unwieldy mass. The proper way to load
is to loosen the hook and leave the bow
of the boat on the ground, raising it
much or little by the lever after the
the load is placed. Lever and axle
must be held together by pin and link.
August and September are frequently
the most wearing months in the year on
some farms, owing to the heavy lifting
required. Save your muscles by using
brains instead.-Home and Farm.
