"My funniest patient?" said the doc

of facer. You newspaper fellows do
ask the queerest questions"

about the most singular patient you
have or ever had, as the case may be-"

''you are bound to stick to me like q

so here goes. A certain woman who
lives on West Fifty-seventh street has a
mania for every thing extraordinary.
She is what you would call beautiful
woman, but don't believe she has even
an apology for soul. Whether her
husband realizes the latter fact do not
pretend to say, and if he does he has too
much pride to confess it to the world.
Well, this woman came to me one morn
ing with little vial and requested me
to inject some of its contents in both OF
her arms and neck. OF course 1 in-
quired what the liquid might be. She
answered:

A hAROY OLD WHALE.
Carrisd u Harpoon in Its Body for Slxt,
Years.

The steam whaler, Beluga, arrived
from Behring sea, in San Francisco,
says the Chicago Herald, bringing the
remarkable news of the recovery OF a
harpoon which had been thrown into o
whale sixty years before in the Soutl
seas. Every whaling vessel has it's name
stamped on the harpoons it uses. Last
August, in Behring sea, the Belngat
crew killed big whale in which was
found an old harpoon bearing the namt
Moctezuma on 1T. The head of the har.
poon was perfectly preserved. but the
shank had been rotted away close to the
skin of tho whale by the salt water
The records show that the Moctezuma
quit whaling in the South seas sixty
years ago. She was a New Bedford
craft, and while lying idle at the port
during tbs war she was bought by the
Government and sont with other old
hulks down TO Charleston harbor and
sunk at the entrance of the bay To breal
up blockade running. The whale tina

Aunt Martha fairly trembled with en-

not generally the recipient OF Aunt
Martha's confidence. But this was some-
thing she could not keep till she went
to her bosom friend, Jucindy Allen, for
Lucindy lived full half milo away.

wide to admit the breeze and sne sweet

A CHINESE LEGEND.

In Chen 81 province fair town
Once hourished IN O strange renown,
For there the women held such sway
And men so neekly yielded way
That DER the land tho place was known,
A realm we'll dubbed "The Women's own"
Twere oil too sad to count the ills
That sprang from wifcly whims and wills:
enough 70 say through wills and whims
Each man was like the cur that skins
Drend Garth with tail 'twixt hinder nmbs.
But ten there were with souls not yet
Completely in subsection set.
These valiant, slant.oyed Decemvirs
Ono day-between themselve -cricd "Sirs,
We've stood this bondage long enough.
Let's show the world what goodly stun
queue-twoalted pate and beaten spirit
Nay, spite OF every thing, inherit.
Well form o Male .ProtectivoB Band,
From end to end OF Flowery Land,
And strong IN union boldly claim
All honors due husbands name"
Full soon, their purpose high to seal
And sure 10 fix the public veal
With front to valors stiffness starched,
Unto temples shrine they marched,
To purge away each selfish plan,
And undivided strike for Man.
But women's heads, like walls, have ears,
And, none knew how, tn unuttered fears
OF all the gallant ten proved true
tut tNcTy ulOlHtT uuuBntCT hutW
Throughout the town, that treacherous knaves
Were bent on turning queens to slaves.
'Shall men revolt?" the cry went round;
''Up, women, upr and at the sound
In hocks upon the temple they
Bore down. all ardor for the fray.
With bended knee and reverent nod
Tho ten before their chosen god
Were breathing VOWS and holy prayers,
When one, not willing unawares
To bear the yoke again, made out
The nearing noise and treble shout.
Straightway the courage newly felt
Like spring.time snow began to melt.
"F'loe, fee?" he cried. "Oh, hear ye not
Tho women's tread? They've scotched our
ploti"
Alas for heroes! feet they ran,
Man tumbling over pavid man.
Out through the temples backward door
While Woman's host advanced before.
At length the runners paused for breath
In nook remote, secure from death.
They counted noses just to see
That all had wit enough to flee.
How tell the grief that smote them when
They found their roll one short Of tent
"Oh base to leave our comrade bravo
To an unwept. unmanly grave!
E'en now mayhap his tortureS pay
The price Of this ill.omened day.
Be scue ours One noble stand
May solve this problem Of command"
Discroetly waiting then q space
To let the women quit the place,
They quietly stole back Before
The altar on the temple floor
Their brother knelt in pose devout:
He'd never budged to join their rout!
"What courage! He was not afraid!
We knew not who should best be made
Our captain: now we plainly see,
Beyond doubt it must be her,
They hailed him chief: he answered not
Nor stirred TO leave the hallowed spot.
They called again: still 40 reply.
They shook him still his CLASSY eye

members of the Senate yesterday refused to
vote on the confirmation of General John A.
Beatty as member of the Soldiers and

of course, precon certed, having its origin in
the meeting on last Thursday night of the
committee to which the appointment was re-

Campbell. In that meeting Senator Wilson
Toundly scored the General, saying among

BREEZY NEW SENATORS.
Wild Western Shocks to the Dignity
ofthe Senatorial Chamber.

The dignity of the Senate, saws the
Philadelphia Inquirer, has had several
severe shocks of late, and it is all owing
to the unusual circumstances under
which that august body is placed. Six
new Senators from the west came into
the chamber in lump. There are GER
tain traditions of the Senate which no
one is expected to violate under any
circumstances, and they make the new
members very restive. Senator Hig-
gins doesn't care Delaware clam for
the traditions of the Senate. Ifhe has
anything to say he says it without ask
ing any ones permission. Then there
is Senator Pattigrew of South Dakota,
who is one of the Senate "babies.n He
hasn't been in that body long enough
to know half the members by sight.
but he is hustler from away back. He
talks in way that makes the cold
chills run down the backs of some of
the ancient members. The other day
he moved that the Senate 20 into exec
utive session without asking the con-
sent of Senator Edmunds, and if some
member with wonderful presence Of
mind hadn't moved an adjournment,
there is no telling what the result
would have been. Young John Beard
Allen, of Washington, is another in
stance. He says he doesn't give q
something that doesn't look we'll in
print-for executive sessions. He likes
newspaper men, and thinks many
of them would make better Sen.
ators than some men who have sat in
that body. These things are calculated
to make the hair of the older members
stand on end, but most of them haven
any, SO they lift up their hands in hor
ror and say that these things must bt
stopped. ssS' 'a@ 'FS
Well, this country never did have
any use for star chamber, and the ex
ecutive session is to near one to sui
American ideas. The only possible ex
cuse for them is in the discussion o.
treaties where other nations are inyol
we'd. But in local affairs, the man who
has not the courage to say in public wha
he delights to say behind closed doors il
not fit to sitinthe Senate. Good for tht
breezy young men of the Senate! MAY
they infuse life and modern ideas into
that venerable body. .

A Novel Advertisement,

The following story, which has never
before appeared in print, is told about
the editor. of one of Names most prom
Ainent dailies: When a small boy, his
father, now one Of the most prominent
men in the State, was then running q
printing Office and publishing a weekly
paper in one Of the largest towns in
Kennebec county. One day the ad-
vance agent of show came along and
ordered some posters printed upon cot
ton cloth. His order was filed, but for
some reason he neglected to call for
them, and they were thus left on the
printers hands. The printers wife ran
across them, and as cloth was then high
she took the cloth home and used it to
line pair of pants she was then max
ing for the editor above mentioned,
then boy about ten years of age.
AS the months rolled by the panta.
looms grew threadbare, and at school
one day he accidentally tore the seal
out, leaving about one foot of lining ex.
posed to view. This in itself would
have made the boys smile, but they
laughed till the tears came when they
observed the following words standing
out I,oldlyupon the lining In large type
doors open at 1880. Performance

It Is needless to state that the boy was
sent home to his mother in tears. :
