Two Doctors.

Almost every one has made his jest
about the proneness of doctors to disa-
gree, the one prescribing exactly an OPP
posite course from that ordered by an
other, but not every one has had an op-
POI tunity to conduct such an expert
meat as was made by the late Baron
Lutz, formerly prime minister of Bava-
ria.
The Baron was once severely wounded
in battle in both legs. The wound in
one leg was much like that in the othir.
1t struck him that here was chance Id
study the ways Of the STIR
gical profession and beguile the long
hours of his convalescence. He Sc
cordingly called in one doctor, and
gave him charge of his right leg, bat
told him nothing about the wound in
the other. and then called in anotl Ell
surgeon for his left leg, keeping him si nj
larly in ignorance about the wounded
right leg.
The doctors adopted very different
method of treatment, but both wounds
healed at about the same time. When
the Baron's legs were quite we'll, he de-
rived great deal Of amusement from
getting the doctors together and mysti-
flying them with questions about the
way each had treated "his leg."-Er-

Discern the Good.

There is good side and a bad side to
every human performance. To see the
bad side requires less ability and less
discernment than to see the good side,
for defect is more obvious than sign
of superiority. It is easier to see where
apaicting, or an essay, or speech, or a
book falls short of perfection than to
perceive in it the evidences of marked
ability. A good head and good heart
are essential to the recognition of beauty
and power in any work of mans hands,
but captious spirit and fault-fnding
purpose are sufficient for the discovery
of faults and lack Of anything that is
brought under mans observation.
Quickness to see good is sign of good
ness in the observer. Quickness to see
evil is sign of evil in the observer.
Every time We go to the sanctuary, or
to q prayer-meeting, OR hear or read the
words of any we'll disposed person, it is
for us to perceive there the blemishes
or the beauty ofthe performance, and in
SO doing to give evidence of our own
character and spirit az lovers of good OF
| of evil.

Winnings WIFI. in Darkest Africa.

A plot for new novel, with gloss
of novelty, illustrating the old-fangled
ways of an ancient race seen by Stanley
in Africa: He was young Yambuya
chief, stalwart proud and black; she
was Yambuya maiden, handsome,
graceful and swarthy. He was brave in
the field, bold in the hunt and merry at
the feast; she was true.hearted and
gentle and could carol like bird. He
wooed her, but she was coy. He almost
won her but she shrank from his en-
braces. He gave her flowers for her
hair, charms Cor her fingers and hand
kerchiefs for her wardrobe; she re-
auired him to fetch her the skin of a
tiger, the jaw of serpent and the head
of her rival. The next day she got
them all and ere the set of the sun they
were welded. They lived in happiness
ever afterwald, he proud of his prize,
she vain of her babies.

lope, the fox, the wolf, the hyena, and
the jackal, the ostrich and the croeo-

the land, with the great wild bears
which delight in the marshes; the,
leopard still turks in the Jungle, and
the cony in the rock; the wild goat
still leaps on the precipices, and the
ass IN the eastern deserts is not I'M

unexpected stroke of good fortune to
discover an unknown quadruped in Pal

Pro. swing on Immortality.

To believe we'll in future beyond, il
seems essential that one make the as
sumption of spirit starting-point, and
then the whole material world becomes
it's servant, or its arena, or decoration ;
but if, with Huxley and Darwin. we be-
gin with the assumption of matter,
there seems nothing to throw us over
across the dividing ocean, and we must
remain on the shore of dust, and hence
death; for, move to and fro as material
does from wild rose to full-leaved rose,
from ape to man, it always brings us at
last only to dust. There is no immortal
rose, however full-leaved it may be-
come. Death is its destiny. To get
over this tomb of roses and of man it is
essential that spirit be assumed, o
God, an essence differing from the vital
action of theheart or of the roots of the
wild flowers In this study of man,
after we assume that he possesses a
spirit, the text enters with it's single
thought that God is not God of dead
souls, but of living ones. There is no
marifest reason for supposing soul
made in such divine image to be only
an ephemeral creature, going quickly
W I.Otu1uk,ucSSs GuuS A4ahAuS SOO JIG
father of the dead rather than of the
living. All the reas1as for creating
such being as man remain for con-
tinuing his existence. If, when the
Creator had formed such universe as
lies around us here, of which our sys-
tenn is as grain of sand upon an in
finite shore, He finally concluded to
make man race to inhabit one or more
stars of the universe, race in the divine
image, human life of few years
would seem wholly unworthy of such a
boundless material realm; for we can
not master its truths nor taste happi-
ness in any threescore year career.
Your children have shown their divine
nature, have spoken few words, have
rejoiced in few spripgtimes, and have
gone thence, leaving you heartbroken.
A brief career is thus not in harmony
with the immense universe in which
this life begins, and of which man is
unquestionably the highest order of
beings.

Some Use for White Caps.


"While L am not here to defend
white-cap outrages" said Mr.. John Ben
nett, an old white haired veteran Of
Orange County, Indiana, at a Chicago
hotel, Il will say for your information
that with all the bad effect the organiza-
ton had on some of the southern coun-
ties of Indiana, in many cases it worked
reforms which the law had failed in
doing through the stupidity of the Off
GERS. Our southern Indiana counties
were primitive in many respects and
subject to invasion from lawless classes.
Lawless elements seek the extremes of
civilization. They either haunt the
pioneer country where churches and
schoolhouses are few. or they seek to
hide their shame in the shadows of
large city. In Orange County, before
the white-cap organization became so
generally known, we suffered frequent
depredations from the low. vulgar,
shiftless classes who hang on the ragged
edge of life and live by pilfering
because they are naturally disposed to
be thieves, but because they are driven
to steal from chronic laziness and dis
taste for work. Had this been the only
offense, the apathy in the machinery of
justice might have been forgiven, but
these classes congregated in small colo
MES and lived a life of degradation and
shame, and very often pillaged way
faring travellers. When one of these
colonies or families became too notori-
ous and the law failed to act promptly
the white-cap organization interfered
and used its own peculiar methods for
disposing Of the obnoxious population.
The sombef-l looking night-riders welded
out much Of the Objectionable. element,
and stimulated the officers of the law
to more action. Yet it will take Orange
County and few of the other southern
Indiana counties long time to recover
from the stigma which these lawless
exeoutioners Of the moral law have in-
6ioted."

Dogs.

Dogs are the friend of man. have
seen dog so attached to a man that
two policemen couldn't get his teeth out
of the calf of the mans leg. According
to the picture posters of the dog bis
cult maker every breed of dog will turn
away from legs of mutton, steaks, and
such like dainties, and run joyfully to
the partially opened sack of Inexpensive
dog biscuits. This is what dogs do in
the pictorial advertisement. I tried q
dog with my dinner once, but he did
not realize the picture. He chewed up
my hash, and I had, in consequence. to
dine on dog biscuits.
How people can lose dog if they
they are attached to it I could never
understand. If man calls your dog a
brute. you can't call him a liar-call
him q "human being" and see how he
likes that. The proper food for bull
dogs is bulls, for sheep dogs is sheep,
and watch dogs is chronometers. Cab
bages and turnips, when in season, are
the cheapest food for the ordinary Or
garden dog.
Our dog always sits down in front of
sausage shop and weeps, and yet
people say dogs have no sentiment.
When the perambulating greengrocer
said he could sell us some of his own
kidneys our dog jumped with delight,
until further conversation revealed the
fact to the sagacious animal that the
man meant kidney potatoes of his own
growing. And as to appreciation of
humor, have asked our dog, after a
visit to the Negro Minstrels, if he knew
why he was longer in the morning than
in the evening? and then Gnsaoered the
conundrum myself, by telling him that
he was longer in the morning and
shorter in the evening, because We let
him out in the morning and take him in
in the evening. Now, what did that
dog do? It went off to the woods and
returned with good old chestnut,
which it laid at my feet. Here ends all
the facts have collected about dogs.
