SPECIALISTS IN FAVOR.
1t Has Even Come to Pass That Their
Are Specialists in Specialists.

1t Has Even Come to Pass That There
Are Specialists in Specialists.
This is an age of specialists, says the
New York Truth. The man who at
tcmpts an-around practice in any pro-
fcsSion must meet in every quarter the
belief that only those who are specially
qualified in particular branches of work
should be called in on important occa-
sionS. The amiable, polished good
natured and benevolent family physi~
clan of the novel or the play will be a
tradition before long. And SO will the
friendly, old family lawyer, who was
called in to perform all sorts of duties,
from the execution Of a deed to the trial
of criminal case and the arrangements
for the marriage settlement of the
daughter of the house. Nowadays if q
man breaks his leg he sends for sur
gcOn without even consulting his fam
lily physician, and if his wife shows a
weakness of the lungs he goes to some
physician who has won distinction in
the treatment of pulmonary diseases
If his child complains of his eyes he
will take him at once to a physician
who never ventures into any other field
of work than eyes and ears. And so it
is with the law. The big corporations
have a regular attorney whose value
lies in his knowledge of the qualifca-
ton of other lawyers. He never tries
case himself, but his Judgment is re-
lied upon by the company in the selec-
ton of properly qualified specialist to
handle each succeeding question that
comes up. The system has developed
very rapidly and there is no telling
where it will lead to. 1t does not APP
pear, with all the recently developed
skill Of specialists, that the general
health of the human race is more
robust, sickness less general, or the
legal affairs of life less complicated
than they were in the olden time.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

An English writer is preparing a
critical volume dealing with half
dozen of the great authors of the CEN
fury. Acting on the assumption that
success is the consequence of mar
riage between talent and environment,
he works out the idea by examining in
each case what were the early assocla-
tions, accomplishments and tastes of his
subject.
-Ex-Queen Isabella of Spain went
to ball in Paris one evening recently.
The ball was at the house of the Prin-
cess de Leon. There We're two thousand
guests there, all in costume, and the
queen, who acted as the guest of honor,
was seated upon throne placed in the
center of the room. The costumes rep
resented historical scenes, characters in
fiction, and were, taken altogether,
highly sensational.
An English paper offers an answer
to a question often spoken: The Au-
thors' society is asking why the pub
fishers don't cut the edges of their three
volume novels. The answer is simple.
Nine-tenths of the public buy a book by
it's appearance, and 'Paternoster row"
loves "a fat book" Now, if the edges
paper is needed to produce the same
bulk than if the edges were left uncut.
George du Maurier, the famous
caricaturist, lost the use of one eye
while studying art in Antwerp, and has
worn glasses ever since. He is a
Partisan by birth, and has three grown
up daughters, who serve as his models.
He has just finished his first novel, is a
connoisseur of dogs, and illustrated
Thackerav's "Esmond" In appear
ance he is a slim-built man, with half
gray mustache and goatee, and is rising
six and fifty.
Mary Anderson Nevarro is tying
herself to England for pretty long
stay. Mr.. and Mrs. Nevarro have set
tied down very comfortably in Tun-
bridge Wells, beautiful place, famous
for Chalybeate springs, about thirty
miles from London. At present both
husband and wife are busy furnishing
new home, which they have leased for
seven years, and are ransacking the
country to fill it with quaint things.
Mrs. Navarro is in prime health, but
avoids London society to great ex-
tent.
The cmbalmcd remains of all the
dead BraganzaS, the rulers OF Portugal,
lie in a mausoleum in Lisbon, where
they are preserved in trunk-lilze chests
ranged around the walls. A recent
American visitor was permitted to look
upon the face of the late empress of
Brazil, whose features are so we'll pre-
served and whose face is so serene that
she appears simply to have fallen
asleep. The bodies of every member
of the dynasty from John ~, who
died in 1856, are slowed away in these
chests.
Russell Sage is as regular in his
habits as an eight-day clock. He gets
up at six, strolls around to his stables
and back, eats hearty breakfast and
then walks to the elevated station and
shows his free pass. Since his friend
Jay Gould, got him on the directorate
of the Western Union he eats hearty
lunch at the expense of the company;
before that he had an Office boys lunch
"a bunch of bread, glass of water
and an apple, He never gets ratified or
hurried during the day, and he has a
good clear, healthy compleXion.-Chi-

FREAKISH FELINES.
They Nurse Strange Animals and Perfor
on the Piano

Ahcy SbHAhBo animals ana F0rfOFm
on the Piano.
There are some queer traits among
the animals in this state, says a Con
nectieut paper. A. E. Olmstead, Mood
us marlzetman, has a cat which gave
birth to three kittens a week ago. Evil
IDENTIFY thinking her family too small
for her capacity as a nurse, she left her
box and went over to neighbours rab-
bit warren, where she found a young
bunny, and taking it carefully by the
neck carried it to her home. She has
fully adopted it, nursing it at the same
time with her kittens, but she can't I'M
derstand why the young animal doesn't
play with her tail, as his foster sisters
do.
Gelston Mitchell, also of Moodus, has
a cat which is even more odd than Mr.
Olmstead's. She has taken to her af-
fections young woodchuck which Mr.
Mitchell captured several weeks ago.
She allows the woodchuck to nurse with
the kittens, and the mother cat ticks
him and makes his toilet with the same
impartiality she exhibits toward her
own offspring.
Another cat story comes from Bridge
port. ''Mike" is brindle puss belong
ing to Miles B. Ferris. Twenty eggs
packed in sawdust were standing in the
window of Mr.. Ferris saloon when
Mike took it into his head to go to sleep
on them. Every attempt has been made
to drive him away from the box and
every inducement in the way of soft
beds was offered to him, but he persists
in lying on those eggs all day, only leav-
ing them long enough to eat and drink.
Next week the period of incubation will
have expired. What Mike will do with
his brood if he is successful is an inter-
esting question. But perhaps he knows
what he is about, and is Matching them
for his own especial benefit.
Milton Moshier, of Shelton, heard
sounds from his piano the other morn
ing and knowing that no one was in the
room he began to be a believer in spir-
its. On investigation he found his cat
prancing up and down on the keyboard,
seemingly delighted at the sounds pro-
| duced. After that she was watched and
whenever the piano is left open she
will play upon it to the best of her
ability.

HANOVER, N. H., July 22.-Despite the
intelligence from Canada that IL man who
answers in all respects the description OF
Murderer Almy crossed the lineSon Mon
day morning and bought railway ticket
for Sherbrooke, the enraged citizens Of
this community continue their search of
the woods in the hope of finding him in
hiding.
The conviction, however, is getting
pretty strong here that Almy is not in
Hanover or vicinity. The evidence seems
to multiply that he escaped Immediately
after committing the murder, and the
great point seems to be to determine in
what direction he went, in order that
clues from abroad may be followed with
greater intelligence.

Modern Miracles.

A singer for breath was distressed,
And the doctors all said she must rest,
But she took G. NJ. D.
For her weak lungs, you see,
And now she can sing with the best.
An athlete gave out, on run,
And he feared his career was quite done;
G. M. D., pray observe,
Gave back his lost nerve,
And now he can lift half ton,
A writer, who wrote for prize,
Had headaches and pain in the eyes;
G. NJ. D. was the spell
That made him quite we'll,
And glory before him now lies.
