AS IT WAS PRESCRIBED.

She vowed she'd be doctor,
And studied hard and late,
Till odds and ends of knowledge
Roamed round within her pate.
She got her sheepskin quickly,
Then out her shingie hung;
And after weeks OF waiting.
Her office bell was rung.
A stylish, handsome fellow
Stepped in, with looks Of pain,
And said: Il fear there's something
The matter with my brain.'
His eyes she gazed deep into,
While he with looks intent
GaZed back with compound interest
TIL a queer feeling went
A scooting round his heart strings.
He smiled charming smile,
As she quite gravely counted
His pulse. twice In while.
Then he in accents tender
Said: Pardon me; fear
That have quite mIsled you,

Within my heart, dear madame,

That she took the case for life.

IOT A POPULAR COB.
The Uali Dollar Has Pashisn Il Getting Out
q GrCulatiSa.

There is one unpopular coin issued BY
Uncle Sam. 1t Is the half dollar, and Il
has q tendency to work It's way back into
the treasury vaults, where ID ISN'T wanted.
As money, nobody objects to the half,
but the popular fancy Is for the came
value in another form. That is, the
average citizen prefers to have two quar-
ters. They are a tribe more convenient.
II he wants to pay out half q dollar he
can use the half or the two quarters with
equal convenience, but II twenty-five
cents is TO be paid out the quarter is by
far the handler coin.
This may not seem 10 be a very Inn
poFtant matter, but Il counts in the long
run. Little by little the halves find their
way back TO the government vaults, and
they stay there like poor relations. In
fact, according to the New York Times,
90 far as coming home in disgrace goes,
the half dollar b the prodisal son Of the
mints.
A very large proportion Of the $50 ,0OO,-
600 Of fractional silver on hand at WASH
ington Is made up Of halves. This is the
lot which Secretary Foster was 50 anxious
To get rid Of, and about which he talked
with New York bankers when he made
his visit there. Nobody then manifested
any wild desire TO take the secFetsry'a
load OF his shoulders.
1t is probable that good many Of the
halves stored up In Washington will Be
Fecoined into quarters and dimes. In
that way they will be more convenient
Tor popular use. And Mr.. Foster will
sleep more comfortably Of nights-Which
will be . good thing and a benefit all
round.
OF course, lots Of halves are used and
will continue to be used. Their coinage
will be kept up and nobody will have any
more difficulty In getting them than usual
But the proportion Of other coins win b
increased because the people like them
better.
The New York sub-treasury has its
share Of halves on hand, and the othel

years ago and he is now upwards OF

the successor Of Robert Winthrop as
president of the Historical Society OF
Massachusetts,, position which Is con-
sidered a great honor and means that
the incumbent must be man OF great
learning. DR.. Ellis ranks with james
Russell Lowell and some OF the other
prominet Bostonians as one OF the best
read men in this country. He tells me
that he expects to keep up his reading
as long as he lives. He never thinks
OF retiring for the night, he tells me,
without reading from four to three
hours, never less than three. Besides
this he reads good deal in the day
time. The reverend doctors favorite
hobby is 10 locate himself near the cigar
stand In his hotel, and every time per-
son buys high priced cigar he will re-
