Two Doctors.

Almost every one has made his Jest
about the proneness of doctors to dis
agree, the one prescribing exactly an
opposite course from that ordered by ait
other; but not every one has had an op-
portunity to conduct such an experiment
as was made by the late Baron Lutz,
formerly prime minister of Bavaria
The baron was once severely wounded
in battle in both legs. The wound in
one leg was much like that in the other.
1t struck him that here was chance to
study the ways of the surgical profession
and beguile the long hours of his con-
valescence. He accordingly called in
one doctor and gave him charge of his
right leg, but told him nothing about
the wound in the other, and then called
in another surgeon for his left leg. keep
ing him similarly in ignorance about the
wounded right leg.
The doctors adopted very different
method of treatment, but both wounds
healed at about the same time When
the baron's legs were quite well he de-
rived great deal of amusement from
getting the doctors together and mysti-
flying them with questions about the
way each had treated Ibis leg. Youths

characteristics Autogranbs.

Count Enzenberg, the Hessian charge
d affaires in France, had one hobby-the
collecting of autographs of famous men.
On one of the pages of the Hessian's al
bum the statesman Guizot had written:
''All through my long career | have
learned to forgive much and often, but
to forget nothing"
The sentiment is not Christian one,
nor is it notable for its worldly wisdom
1t is strange that Guizot, who was pro-
fessed Christian and reputed to be world
ly wise, should have written it. His
rival Theirs must have noticed the in
consistency, for underneath it he wrote:
"a little shortness of memory cannot
detract from the sincerity of forgive
ness"
Bismarck, while Prussian ambassador
at Paris, being asked to write something
on the same page, wrote:
''As for myself, existence has taught
me to forget many things, and to get
myself forgiven for great many more. :"

Cats as Chronometers.

An acute observer of contemporary
life remarked the other day that the
typical cat devoted each one of his nine
lives solely to the cultivation of his voice
The statement, although obviously ex-
aggerated, serves very well to convey
the impression which the cat has made
upon those who know him best. The
weasel having largely supplanted him as
rat and mouse externinator he has
come to be regarded as an animal of leis-
ure, much given to music, but bearing
few or none of the practical burdens of
existence. But attention has lately been
directed to the fact that the Chinese use
cats to tell time.
A Celestial who was asked what o'clock
it was took up cat and examined it,
and replied that it was two hours past
noon. On being asked how he told time
in that way he explained that the pupils
of a cats eyes were largest in the morn
ing, and that they gradually grew
smaller as the light increased till they
reached their minimum at noon; that
then they began to widen again till at
night they once more became large

Curious Old Indian Signs.

About five miles above Morven is a
mystery which the people of that com
munity cannot explain In hummock
near the river are two complete circles.
one 80 and the other 140 feet in diameter
the smaller circle inside the larger
The circles, which are much like those
left by a circus performance, are com
pletely barren of vegetation of all kinds
These circles have been there since the
recollection of the oldest citizen, and
none know how or when they came
there. 1t must be- that they are Indian

savage warrior was lord of all he sur
veyed.-Macon (Ga.) Telegraph.

Rich PuyaIIup Indians.

There are scores of Indians on the
reservation worth from $4,000 to $3.50.

thrown open by congress. as it will be
in very few years. there will be in
Pierce county dozen or two of the
richest Indians in the United States

wealthy Indians:
Mrs. Joseph Douette. a full blooded
Indian widow, with $250,000, Chris
Laughlet, a widower. with 100 acres and

No yenomous Beetles.

Of more than 10000 species of beetles
widely diffused over the earth's surface
not one is known to be venomo1s, or pos
sessed of a sting. Butterflies and moths
have no mouths to eat with, only pro-
boscis to extract sweet Juices from flow
ers. Neither do they grow after assum-
ing the winged state. When in the cat
erpillar state they are voracious eaters.

whole tree within a single day.-St.

GRAINS OF GOLD.


He lacks most that longs most.
Idleness is the breeder of mischief.
Diligence is the mistress of success.
Hasty resolutions seldom speed well.
He who conquers Incidence will con-
quer everything.
The passions are the only orators that
always persuade.
A woman requires no tutor to teach
her love and tears.
Beauty devoid of grace is mere hook
without the bait.
Prudence in a woman should be an
instinct, not virtue.
Rank and riches are chains of gold,
but still they are chains.
Those who aim at accomplishments
will accomplish but little.
An unkind criticism is like pin-the
better the point the more it hurts.
Any affectation whatsoever in dress
implies flaw in the understanding.
As tears soften the heart, so does rain
soften the earth that good may come.
Whoever makes the fewest persons un-
easy is the brest bred in the company.
Too much sensibility creates unhap
piness; too much insensibility creates
crime.
He who, with good health, has true
friend, may laugh adyersity to scorn and
defy the world.
Many people make the mistake of
leaving executors to do that which they
could have done better themselves.
1t is the man who is neither just nor
generous who is most apt in the use of
the phrase, "Be just before you are gen
erous"
In family government let this always
be remembered, that no reproof or de-
nunciation is SO potent as the silent in
fluence of good example.
