A Mama Clothes,

The most elegantly dressed man who has
walked the streets of Boston for fifty years
was the late lamented Nathaniel G. Greene.
He had an eye for color. BE would go into
the shop of tailor who might be unknown
to him, having been allured by piece Of
goods in the window, and ask In his winning
tones: my friend, can you make pair Of
trousers according to a pattern that will
drawn Then with chalk he would outline on
the cutting table precisely his idea, take from
his pocket memorandum Of width Of waist
and length of leg, and, without asking price,
would order the garment to be sent to his adj
dress. If that tailor carried out his idea he
would buy cloth wherever he saw what ne
liked and return and patroniSe him until he
made mistake So, also, with his coats, es-
pecially overcosts II the tailor refnOnstra-
ted as to fashion, Nat would smile and pat
his shoulder, and inquire: Are you to wear
this garment when finished or am II Your
reputation will not be injured because you
follow my playful, perhaps reasonless, fancy"

Artemus Wards Last Joke.

Joseph Jefferson, in his autobiogra-
ply in the Century, relates what was
probably the last jest Of Artemus
Ward.
When the famous wit lay dying in
Southampton he was tended by his de-
voted friend "Tomn Robertson, the
English playwright, who was also a
friend of Jefferson.
"Just before Wards death" writes
Mr.. Jefferson, Robertson poured out
some medicine in glass and offered it
to his friend.

take that dreadful stuff

The gentleman in question is now

in his off hours he was accustomed to

or smoke.
One evening when he was out ct
service two Of the wags of the estab-
ishment remembered that it was his
invariable habit upon returning home
to doff his roundabout vest and clerical
coat, put on an old smoking jacket and
encase his feet in pair Of morocco

the same position on his bedroom floor
preparatory to his coming. Accordingly,
they firmly nailed these slippers to the
floor, and awaited results in the next
room.

were taken off and thrown down, and
then all was silence. They peeked
cautiously in, and there beheld the
young clergyman standing in his slip
pers, his face as white as sheet, and a
look Of horror upon it, his eyes ssaring
straight ahead. The sight was too
much for them, but they managed to
suppress their laughter. and ask in a
tone Of amazement what the matter
was.

A FATHER, when his daughter be-
cam 9 q bride, gave her a golden casket
with the injunction not to pass it into
other hands, for it held charm which
in her keeping would be of inestima-
BILE value to her as the mistress of the
house. Not only was she to have the
entire care of it, but she was to take
it every morning to the cellar, the
kitchen, the dining-room, the library,
the bedroom, and remain with it in
each place for tive minutes, looking
carefully about. After the lapse Of
three years the father was to send the
key, that the secret talisman might be
revealed. The key was sent. Tho
casket was opened. 1t was found to
contain an old parchment, on which
was written these words: "The eyes
of the mistress are worth one hundred
pairs of servants hands," The wise
father knew that practice of inspec5
ton followed faithfully for three years
would become habit and be self
perpetuated-that the golden casket
and the hidden charm would have &C.
complished their mission.

TandancY to SpaciaIism i.

The increasing tendency to special
ism in all trades and professions Isl
nowhere more marked than in the med
ical profession, where the young M. D.
finds himself, before his sheepskin is
fairly in his hands, considering the
desirability nj the "throat and lungs"
or the "eye Ind ear" or some other
equally profitable combination of dis
orders. The result is that the "family
doctor" of the old time, who attended
a family from birth to death, and who
was the repository of all its woes and
weaknesses, is no longer real exist
ence. And the average well-doctored
mortal who wishes to be reasonably
careful with his health finds himself
strangely divided up among half a
dozen specialists. To one he intrusts
the care of his eyes, to another his
throat, to a third his digestion, to q
fourth his nerves, and, if it please
Heaven to affiict him with more disor-
ders than these, he finds Specialist"
waiting down the road to welcome each
one.
No doubt there is q good healthy
reason at the bottom of all this and
resi- benefit to be derived therefrom.
No doubt the marvellous strides of
medical science within the last fifty
years have made the necessity for the
specialist. but it touches ones sense of
