Cheer for the Ailing.

A physician who has noted the dreari-
ness of tho typical waiting room for pa.
tients and its evil effects on people al
ready in an unhappy frame of mind from
bodily ills has devoted some time to
making his reception rooms as cheerful
and lively as good taste will permit. In
place of bare, white walls, with an odd
print or two upon them, a bookcase con-
tanning dry medical works and a stand
filled with stiff looking bric-a-brac, he
has an abundance of we'll executed
paintings OF prints, the subjects of
which are of an interesting and cheerful
nature. The center table is covered
with copies of the latest novels, illus
trated magazines and files of the humor'
Gus weekly papers. The furniture in
cludes several large easy chairs, so rest
full that when once settled in one of
them q person is reluctant to get up
again.

said he, "but it is certainly a good in
vestment. Waiting in a dull, cherries
room is very trying to the nerves, and
most visitors to adoctor's Office are nerv-
GUS and irritable. Like all reforms,
however, it is carried to excess by some
physicians. I know several who have
the walls Of their reception rooms com
pletely covered with oil paintings, SO
that the room looks like a badly crowded
picture gallery. But the idea is agood

Wanting and Getting.

1t has been said that the reason so few
people get what they want in this world
is that they do not want it hard enough.
There is profound truth at the bottom of
this odd conceit. Earnest striving and
perseverance are rare qualities. A little
struggle, and then a falling off; q few
faint efforts, and then despair-this is
the usual story of attempts to "get any
thing" whether it be a physical, mental
or spiritual good. But to long for a
thing so strongly that for the sake of its
attainment one can conquer obstacles,
live down opposition, ignore discourage.
ment and work persistently and through
years of trial and obscurity toward the
ful6llment of a hope-is not this the rec
ord of all grand achievements and the
history Of all purposeful lives?
Many more wishes might be realized
if people were willing to pay this price
for them. Anything worth having in
this world is dear, including experience.
Genius itself has been defined as only
unlimited patience, or an endless capac.
ity for hard work.

Chiyalrous Devotion.

At the most extensive aquarium il
England, the Brighton Zoo, the female
lobster recently cast her shell. She
screwed herself up together on the toes
and tail and suddenly bent her body.
Snap went the shell in its center, and the
case of the back came away in one piece.
The claws were her next care, and she
worked away at them for a long time.
1t was a proceeding of extreme deli
cacy, considering that all the flesh of the
great claw had to be passed through the
small base. During the operation one
claw came off altogether, and this must
have seemed to the lobster lady a serious
misfortune, as it will not grow to it's full
size again until the second year. The
tail and legs gave very little trouble, and
the body, when thus undressed, proved
to be of a pale blue.
The shell casting over, the lobster sank
on the sand, and this action seemed a
signal for the attack of every creature in
the tank.
The d%efenseless victim babe fair to sue
cumb to the fury Of her enemies, when
the male lobster suddenly came to the
rescue. Standing over his helpless bet
ter half, he fought her assailants relent-
lessly. Day and night did he watch over
her, until her shell was sufficiently hard
ened to protect her in fighting her own
battles.
When this happy moment arrived he
deliberately picked up the old claw,
broke it in his nippers, and ate the meat.
He then dug a hole in the sand, placedin
it the broken bits Of shell, buried them,
and piled anumber of small stones above
the grave.-Youth's Companion.

A Long Line of Doctors.

The numerous friends of DR.. Irving S.
Haynes in this region will be glad to
know that his name appears in the off
cial announcement of the spring session
of the medical department of the Uni
versity of New York as demonstration of
anatomy, and that he is engaged to de-
liver n lecture each week during the
spring course. DR.. Haynes comes right
fully by his aptitude for the medical pro-
fession. His father, DR.. Samuel Haynes,
of Saranac, needs no introduction to the
people of this section, having establish
ed a good medical reputation many
years ago; his uncle, DIR. Thomas s.
Haynes, of Lacolle, has long been en-
gagged in the practice Of medicine,
standing in the front ranks of his pro.
fession in the province Of Quebec; his
grandfather, the late DR.. Thomas
Haynes, practiced medicine successfully
in Swanton and Westford, VT, for over
forty years, and his great-great-grand-

An Interesting Will Case

An interesting case and one Of peculiar
complication was disposed of by the
court in Allentown recently. When the
wife Of the late Peter Maury, of West
Bethlehem, died two or three years ago,
she left a will bequeathing all her prop
erty, real or personal, to her husband,
and it was stipulated that after his death
the estate should revert to eour heirs, y
to quote the language of the document.
Maury married a second wife, and a
few weeks after the ceremony he was
taken sick with a fever and died.
His widow brought suit against the
heirs, Frank and George Maury and
Mrs. G. Benner, for a dover right in the
property, which was one-third of the
estate for life. The main question dis
cussed before the court was whether the
interest Of Peter Maury in the estate
was an absolute ne or u life one only.
Judge Albrighttook the latter view of the
affair and rendered q decision in favor
of the heirs, II of whom lives in Texas.
The property is valuable and is situated
in West Bethlehem. Before his death
Maury gave his wife q check for $500 or
5000 which he had in bank.-Philadel-
phia Ledger.

The Australian rrco Well.

In the vast ~rainless tracts of central
Australia, where water in the shape of
streams, ponds, wells, etc., is unknown,
and where thousands of gold seekers,
travellers, hunters and others have per
ished with thirst, the country is found
to be tolerably populated by a hardy
race known us .Bushmen." For the
past century it has been u standing won
der how these human beings managed
10 exist i'll such ~ arid region. 1t now
turns out that nature has made provis-
ions for the welfare of living creatures
even in that inhospitable section of the
antipodes. Here the eucalyptus tree,
which grows 200 to 800 feet high in moro
favorable localities, grows to but eight
or ten feet, gnarled and thickly iointed,
like IL reed.
Herein lies the secret of the Bush
mans existence. The joints of this
dwarf eucalyptus are hollow and filled
with pure water, the size of tho Joint
regulating the amount of water to be
found within. More than one unlucky
being has laid down in the shade of one
of these Australian we'll trees to die of
thirst when ono stroke with his knife
OF ''machete" would have caused a life
giving stream to burst forth.-St, Louis
Republic.

How Aerated Water Is Produced,

In the reighborhood of the extinct
Eifel volcano, near the Rhine, in Ger
many, are found springs of mineral
waters which give off large volumes of
natural carbonic acid gas. This natural
gas becomes thoroughly purified in pass
ing up through some two or three hun
dred feet of water, which of course
means a considerable pressure upon the
gas. This gas, being duly collected on
the surface, is subjected by means of
pumps to the pressure of five or six hun
dred pounds per square inch, c%ondensing
it into a clear transparent liquid, which
is forthwith stored in steel or wrought
iron cylinders of special construction and
exceptional strength.
The manufacture of aerated waters is
now readily carried on by means of these
tubes, which are easily transported in a
manner at nee simple, rapid and mex
pensive, no machinery whatever being
required. The apparatus consists simply
of a closed copper vessel of any required
size, nearly filled with ordinary pure
water and connected with a tube of com
pressed gas.
On turning a tap on the table the lib.
Grated gas rushes under high pressure
into the copper vessel, becomes thor
oughly incorporated with the water, and
produces forthwith the aerated mineral
water which is so largely consumed and
so justly appreciated at the present day.
The aerated water can now be drawn of
for immediate consumption or bottled
for future use. Mineral water thus pro.
duced is stated to be entirely free from
any flavor of chemicals, sometimes dis.
cernible in that which has been prepared
from artificial carbonic acid gas.-Cham.
bers' Journal.

Manners and Society.

Fine social intercourse is really the
finest of the fine arts; and if painting
and sculpture and architecture are wortl,
chcrishing, so is that higher standard of
manners without which these things are
merely a misplaced fringe for barbarism.
1t is true that manners joined with
nothing better are Disappointing. 1t is
true that a hungry man would rather
dine with q boor on vension than with
Duke Humphrey on his proverbial dinner
that is, on nothing. But if the boor-
ishness destroys ones appetite, where is
h good of vension? and "a dinner of
herbs where love is"-or even where re-
finement is-turns out the better bill of
fare. The true charm of fine manners
is best seen in poverty, when attainable
there; but wealth is doubtless the better
school for them at first, and this is one
reason why men are tempted by wealth.
The English word "means," or the
phrase "a man of means" is veryinstruc-
tive, for it views property but rs u means
toward something moro important. And
though many men so no further than
the means, yet it is something that we
have this great truth recognized in Ian
guage. So all the love for fashionable
novels is really IN expression of a long
ing after the refinements of life. And
though the society columns" are often
made up largely of the doings of the So
cially obscure, and though the socially
prominent usually try to keep out of
them, yet they are no doubt a humble
school for good manners to those readers
who distrust themselves. The young
girl who with vague admiration reads of
Mrs. AS and Mrs. BIS entertainments
perhaps acquires the wish that when
she also is annexed to some matrimonial
letter of the alphabet, she also may have
an attractive home.-T. w. Higginson
in Harper's Bazaar.

The Broadway of the Business Man.

The broadway OF the Business Man.
The business man knows Broadway
as q street blocked with moving drays
and wagons, with pavements which move
with unbroken lines of men, and that
are shut in on either side by the tallest
Of tall buildings. 1t is a place where no
one s%trolls, and where a man can as cas-
lily swing his cane as a woman could
wear a train. Pedestrians do not walk
steadily forward here or in a straight
line, but dodge in and out like runners
on & football field. They all seem to be
trying to reach the bank to have a check
cashed before 8 o'clock. The man who
stops to speak to a friend or to gaze into
a shop window is jostled and pushed
and shouldered to one side. Every one
seems to be trying to catch up to the
man just in front of him, and every one
has something to do, and something on
his mind to think of, too, if his face tells
anything.
So intent are they on their errands
that they would not recognize their own
wives if they passed them by. This is
spot where the thermometer marks fever
heat. 1t is the great fighting ground of
the city, where the battle of business
goes on from s o'clock in the morning
until 3 in the afternoon, at which time
the work flags a little and grows less
and less hurried until 6, when the armies
declare an ar1nistice for the day, and
march off up town to plan a fresh cam
paign for the morrow.
The armies begin to arrive before s,
and gather from every point Of the COM
pass. The ferryboats land them by thou
sands and hurry back across the river
for thousands more; the elevated roads
marshal them from far up town, gather
ing them by companies at each station,
where they are unloaded and scattered
over the business districts in regiments.
They come over the Brooklyn bridge by
tens of thousands in one long, endless
procession, and cross the City Hall park
at a quick step. 1t is one of the most i'm
pressive sights the city has to Offer

Trials of an Author.

There came to a nan who has had a
success in literature which we should
envy did we not all agree he deserves it,
a lady who was neither young nor fair,
but who had the assurance of youth in
combination with the obstinacy of ad-
vancing years.

chat l must earn my living by writing
poems. sent a poem to the Blank
Magazine, and they returned it with q
printed slip. Now, I want you to write
to the editor, and tell him that he made
a mistake"
1t naturally seemed to the author that
he had to deal with a humorist or a mad
woman; but the lady was certainly in
earnest and apparently sane. He en-
deavored to show her that it was not his
business to interfere with tho decisions
of the editors of magazines, who might
be supposed to know their own business.
The lady insisted, however, and in the
end he was forced to decline point blank
to do what she asked. Thereupon she
turned upon him and declared that he
was of those who endeavor to keep
others out in order that they may have
the field to themselves, and who are
meanly jealous of other authors who are
sure to eclipse them if they are but
heard.

vehemence. IT have been told so be-
fore, and now l am SURF of it. I can't
make you do justice to me, but T can

Her method of Showing him up" has
been to send letters Of bitter ~invective to
the papers, one of which fell into my
hands. Of course nobody would print
them, but she p%erseveres, and in addition
to this she sends to the luckless author,
whose crime is that he did not make the
editor of the Blank Magazine print the
rhymes Of an unknown woman, a letter
once a week. Of course he burns them
unopened, and it is not easy to see what
satisfaction it can be to the woman to
keep on with this sort of thing, but the
fact remains that she does. The story is
not of profound Importance, but it throws
a curious bit Of a side light upon the life
of the successful author of today.-Arlo

DR.. Judson Tells IL story,

The Rev. DR.. Edward Judson tells of
a Baptist who had been very sick. The

and told him he could so out, but under
no circumstances was he to get wet.

shower of rain came up suddenly. There
was no shelter near, and to save himself
he crawled into a hollow log. The &C.

A Living Dynamo.

A correspondent in New London,
Conn.,, sends out this remarkable story.
George Rood, of Westerly, r. l., was
struck by lightning, and after recovering
consciousness it was found that his body
was full of electricity. He is now able
to sit up, but his body is so highly charged
with electric fluid that when he puts his
hands within n certain distance of each
other sparks will jump from one to the
other with a loud, cracking noise, and
when the hands touch they can be sep
arated only by the most violent rubbing.
His feet are in the same condition, and
he has to be careful to keep them apart.
A person touching him receives a slight
shock, and if he touches a watch he mag
netizesit completely. Many people visit
him to witness the curious manifestation
of electricity's wonderful power.

Birth of the Car Cable.

\ The sight of six horses vainly endeav-
oring to take a street car up one of the
steep hills of San Francisco inspired in
Inventor Halliday's mind the idea of the
cable a system. The hill was slippery
as we'll as steep. One horse fell and car.
rled down his mate. The other horses
tunbled, until the six We're in a strug-
Cling heap. The weight Of the car
dragged them down to the foot of the
hill, bruising and manning them. Mr..
Halliday, looking on, was filled with
compassion for the poor brutes, and he
says he went to work at once on plans
for a substitute for horse power. His
thinking brought him to the cable sys-
