A Curious Faith Cure.

"A curious Slofy is tolI VI b1. NlSS
DRY, an eminent English physician OF
his day. The subject Of this anecdote
used occasionally to visit his relations
at Aberdeen.
In the slow travelling of those days it
was usual to make frequent stops, and
accordingly Doctor put up for the
first night in Dundee. In the evening
it was severe weather, and whilst sit
ting by the fire the landlord came in
and apologized for disturbing him, but
a woman had heard OF his being there,
and was so im%portunate to see him that
he could not avoid letting him know.
Accordingly, the doctor kindly Or
dered her to be admitted. She was in q
state of great excitement, and asked
if he were really the great DIR. Greg
Dry. He assured her he was, and asked
if it was for herself or any of her family
that she was so anxious to have his adj
vice.
She replied, "No, she was thankful to
say, no. But, eh, sir! our coo is terri
BILE i'll, and what shud we do with the
puir beastie? She supports the hall
family"
"But, my good woman" the doctor
replied, Il am no COW DOCTOR"
She p~ersevered, however, in her suit.
"Eh, sir, if sic a grand man as you,
that cures a; the great foulk in Edin-
burgh, would just luke at the coo, it
wad recover"
Plying the poor woman's grief, the
doctor accompanied her to her humble
byre. He saw at once that the COW was
chilled, SO he ordered a hot drink for
her, and told them to wrap her we'll up
in blankets.
He knew also the common supersti-
ton Of the country that attached such
great efficacy to the act of laying a
stick upon a sick person OF a sick
beast. He took his cane and held it
over the COW, adding a short prayer
that God would vouchsafe to restore
the useful creature to the family.
The doctor then went on to Aber-
deem, and on his return, as bad weather
continued, he was taken very ill, and
was obliged to stop at Dundee, where
he was attended by the local medical
man. He suffered great pain from a
severe and obstinate quinsy, which did
not break.
The doctors attention was drawn to
a noise which he heard at the door of
his apartment, and which he found pro-
ceeded from the poor cow-won1an fore
ing herself in. When admitted, she
looked about for the doctors stick, and
having got possession Of it, she came to
the bedside, and having laid the stick
formally over the patient, she repeated
the words which he had used for the
COW.
There was something so irresistibly
lndicrous in the whole scene, that a
roar of laughter accomplished for the
quinsy what the medical man had in
vain by other means endeavored to eff
feet, and thus the poor woman returned
the benefit which had been conferred
upon her in the preservation of her

An Old Hoax.

Occasionally a correspondent seeks
information concerning the one million
postage samp hoax. 1t is firmly be-
lieved that if a million stamps are col
lected ant forwarded to a given ad-
dress some benefit will accrue to the
sender. Z sublimated form of this
swindle has originated in the fertile
brain OF a p,stage stamp collector at
Stettin, Germany. He desired to get
vast collections to sort out and sell
again, and hit upon a plan to set the
whole world tc work for him free of
charge. He p'fyed on the sympathies
of people BY announcing that an
orphan would be cared for in a private
asylum for every million stamps sent
to him. This worked we'll; and the
next dodge WIS the starting of a myth
ical mission il China, the Holy Sisters
of which a'reed, for every million
: stamps sent,S2o save from the jaws Of

the crocodiles of the yellow River at
least one Chinese baby, and then edu-
cate and Christiapize it. The stamps
were to be sent, not to Jerusalem or
China, but to Munich or Stettin. The
last claim on the sympathy of the world
that has been made by this German is,
that for one million stamps a home for
an old lady or an old gentleman will
be provided in one of three homes
one in London, another in New York
and the third in Cincinnati. For five
hundred thousand stamps a bed will be
endowed in a hospital, and for one
hundred thousand o home will be found
for an orphan for one year. There are
agencies in various cities to forward
stamps to Stettin. It is estimated that
the swindler has collected YER one
hundred million stamps in the United
States alone.

Language of the Hand.

The line sweeping around the base
OF the thumb from the wrist, called the
line Of life, is of course the most i'm
portant in the hand. Long, clear, di-
rect in its course and we'll colored, it
denotes long life, good health, and a
good character and disposition, Pale
and broad, it indicates i'll health. eviI
instincts, and a weak, envious DISPOSE
ton. Thick and red, it betrays vio-
lence and brutality. The ages al which
events have happened may be bld by
the points at which they have marked
the line. The slorter the lihe the
shorter the life; and-this isl rather
startling-from the point at whfh the
line terminates in both hands hay be
accurately predicted the time Of ldeath.
A break in the line is always an Illness;
if in both hands, there is always grave
danger of death, especially if the lower
branch of the line turns in towird the
thumb. Rays across the hand fr3m the
basis of the thumb always denote
worries, and the age at which they oc-
u is always shown by the point at
which the rays terminate. Th} cline
Of head" of almost equal importance
extends from between the thumb and
f%oretinger across to the third fngjr, and
should be clear and we'll closed, with
out fork, break, or ratification. Pale
and broad, it indicates feebleaess OF
lack OF intellect; but if it is long and
strong, it denotes self-control. The
third line is the line of the heart-the
line sweeping from the foretinger across
the hand. If it goes right across it in.
d'cates excessive affection. resulting in
a morbid jealousy. If it is chained, the
subject is an inveterate firt. Very,
very thin and bare, is a sign of murder,
The fourth great line in the hand is
that of fortune, which rises through the
whole hand from the wrist to between
the second and third fingers. If i
starts from the line of life, it show.
that ones fortune results from one'I
own deserts; rising from the wrist, it i
always the sign Of good luck. Twisted
or ragged at the base, it indicates i'll
luck in early life.

LOOK AHEAD.
BY FRANCIS S. SMITH.

Youth OF bright eye and smooth white brow,
So happy and e~Xultait now.
Viewing the brilliant sky above,
Thy bosom full of faith and love
Love on, hope on. but still reflect,
The stanchest ship is sometimes wrecked
Clouds viii obscure the brightest sky,
Fancies most priced, take wings and fly
Weep not TIE past, for that is dead
And for the future have no dreed-
But look aheadl
Man OF mature years, full of care.
With threads of silver in thy hair,
Fretting thyself DER chances lost,
Thy life-bark sadly tempest-tost-
Deem not that you have lived i'll vain,
The chances lost will come again.
Up! up! and work! be not cast down
The somber clouds that or thee frown
May, ere another day has fed,
Disperse, an sunshine Danish dread-
So look ahead!
Decrepit pilgrim, nearly home,
Fear not the change that soon must come
All living walk toward tho grave
Let thy thoughts dwell on things above
And rest content, for God is Love"
Then youth, strong man. or pilgrim gray,
Remember, while We toll to-day,
The earth at last must be thy bed.
Strive not for dross-'tis best instead
To look ahead.

my hotel the purchase of
the property was quickly
consummated. The next morning l
repaired to a distant part of the city,
also peopled by Italians, and employed
a carpenter and a mason, taking them
with me to the tenement. l told them
that [ wanted them to make a thorough
examination of the building, in every
room, from basement to garnet, for the
purpose of estimating the cost OF
strengthening the entire foundations
and structure. AS Calisteo's apart
ments were those at which we would
naturally begin our examination, we
knocked at the door, and my workmeu
explained to Calisteo that I could not
talk their language and wished them to
thoroughly examine every portion
of the building and foundations,
with view to making the
block more SAFE and comfortable.
His only reply was a greasy smile.
Going to an old cupboard in the room,
he took down a portion of a strong.

A MALE wHITECHAPEL VICTIM IN
LIFORNIA-sTRANGE CRIME.
FRESNO. Cal, Sept. 10.-A horri-
BILE crime has come to light here.
This morning about six o'clock
night watchman ellison found a
man lying near the depot on the
railroad reservation. He was al
most unconscious and covered with
blood and unable to walk. His face
was slashed up frightfully and his
mouth was cut open on each side
nearly to his ears. He was very
weuk from loss of blood, and his
mouth was no badly mutilated that
he cannot talk. He managed to
make known that his name was
John Hays, but nothing more con-
cerning the mysterious affair could
be elected. He is stranger here.
