No Remedy In the Books.

Sir William Temple relates the fol.
lowing anecdote of DR.. Rujean, the
most celebrated man of the medical
profession in his time:
A certain great lady came to him in
much distress about her daughter, and
the physician began the investigation
of the case by asking:
"Why. what ails herl'
"Alas! doctor" replied the mother,
II cannot tell, but she has lost her
humor, her looks, her stomach. Her
strength consumes every day, so as we
fear she cannot live"
"Why do you not marry herr
"Alas, doctor, that we would fain do,
and have offered her as good match
as ever she could expect"
rs there no other that you think she
would be content to marry"
"Ah. doctor, that is it that troubles
us; for there is young gentleman we
doubt she loves that her father and !
can never consent to-"
why, look you, madam, replied the
doctor, gravely, being among all his
books in his closet, ''then the case is
this: your daughter would marry one
man and you would have her marry
another In all my books / find no
remedy for such disease as this. ~

The Fishhook.

One interesting form Of copper i'm
plement is the fishhook. Those in the
Archaeological Museum at the Univer.
sity of Pennsylvania will be readily ad,
mitted, says Professor Albeit, to be
admirably adapted to their purpose,
although the barb had not suggested
itself. They are copied from the early
native bone fishhooks, for assume the
use of copper was of later date than
that of stone or bone. They are essen
tally the product Of American skill,
and not derived, as shown when they
are compared with the bronze fishhooks
of Europe, especially those found in
the lake dwellings Of Switzerland.
These are usually barbed; some are
double, and il is very rare to find one
that has not a loop or some other de-
vice for securing the line, feature

Quarters for Deaf Mutes.

Carelessness In writing Is often the
cause Of mistakes, some, of which prove
to be serious and Others humorous. One
that occurred a few days ago had most
lndicrous aspect. Up the state there Is
an official who acts AZ an agent for
the deaf and dumb asylum at Broad
and Pine streets. Recently he wrote q
letter to the superintendent of the asy.
lum, and, among other things, said: II
will be down In few days with several
deaf mules, for which l hope you will
be able to provide quarters
When the superintendent received
the letter he was dumfounded, and in
dignantly wrote back that the institu-
ton was not stable, and that it had
no use for animals. Shortly afterward
the official arrived in the city with sew
eral boys who were to become inmates.
"Well, where are those deaf mules
that you wrote aboutT asked the su-
perintendent.
What deaf mulesi"
In explanation the superintendent
showed him the letter. The official
looked at it for moment, chuckled to
himself and then picked up pen. He
crossed the letter 81" Transforming It
into a st." and the mystery of the
mules was solved.-Philadelphia In

WHO STRUCK BILLY PATTERSON
The origin Of Very Common Express
sion Explained Briefly.

History says some say tradition says)
that William Patterson was character
In the post revolutionary days Of Balti-
more, Nd. and that he was merchant
or tradesinan. In very early day,
probably soon after the close of the
Revolutionary war, he purchased much
land In Franklin county, Ga, ard after
retiring from the business in which he
was engaged in Baltimore spent much
of his time ON one of these tracts of
land, situated near GAINESVILLE. Now,
Billy was strong as an elephant and as
brave rs lion, but, like all brave men,
he was a lover of peace, being, his
neighbors said, good, pious man.
One day Billy attended sale at
which most of the toughs and thugs Of
the country congregated. During the
day two opposing bullies and their
friends raised row and general fight
ensued. Billy, being a man of peace,
did all in his power to persuade the
crowd to keep their S1mper below the
boiling point, but all to no purpose; !;
fight they would and fight they did.
Although man of serene and unruffled
temperament Billy could fight il it be-
came necessary. Seeing that his efforts
at keeping the peace were unavailing
he took sides and entered the general
melee. The row progressed finely for a
while, everybody keeping out of the
reach of the infuriated Billy or going
Ito grass" in consequence of his intrep-
idity. At last some crafty fellow slipped
up and struck Billy a stunning blow
from behind, telling him like an OK
Jumping to his feet he cried at the
top of his voice, "Who struck Billy
Patterson" No one cared TO own that
he had done the deed, as Patterson was
perfectly wild with rage. Then he Of
fered slO0 to any one who would tell
''who struck Billy Patterson" Then
he gradually raise a his reward to 81, 900,
but even that sum would not induce
any man in the crowd to own that he
had struck Billy Patterson" Weeks,
months and years Patterson made per
sistent search for the man reckless
enough to strike him, but he never
found him. At last he died in old
Franklin county, and even when death
was stealing over him he left a provision
