Not Cured, but Killed.

One popular fallacy prevalent many years
ago in Goshen, Mass, was that hernia might
be effectually cured by putting the patient
through living ash tree, cleft and parted 80
widely as to allow the person 10 pass through
without touching the sides.
The trees so devoted were not allowed to
be cut down afterward, lest the telling of the
tree should be the killing of the patient
This method of treating hernia received a
sudden check.
An Irishman named King had taken ne
gro boy to bring up who was affected with
the above mentioned trouble, and the cleft
tree remedy was recommended.
An ash tree was cleft, wedges were insert
ed to keep it open, and the boy started to go
through. Unfortunately, at the moment the
poor little fellow was fairly within the cleft
the wedges suddenly flew out, and the parts
of the tree sprang together. The negro was
crushed to death.
King ran for help, and cried out to the
first man he met: Cato is kilt I've brought
death 10 Cato, but niver thought TO Kill
Cato no morn did yerself, Mr.. Dresserw
The honest simplicity of the Irishman saw
ed Linn from legal trouble, but the tragedy
killed the popularity of the ash tree remedy

The ShOrtstOp.

The baseball field is not the place where one
looks for literary wit, yet now and then it
happens that good pat saying is heard
there which shows not only readiness but
familiarity with literature.
1t was on an occasion when a college nine
was playing the nine from fitting school,
and the shortstop of the latter was an sb-
surdly tall and thin fellow named Brown, ap-
parently some ten years older than the boys
with whom he was associated. He played
veay badly, muf1ng and fumbling, until 1t
was suggested that he was only put ON the
nine tor the joke of having SO long q man as
shortstop.
HE is like the Ancient Mariner one Of
the college nine said; ''he is long and lank
and Brown"
HE is more like the Ancient Mariner"
quickly and wittily returned the friend to
whom the remark was made, 'because 'he
stoppeth one of three"

Buying Them Off.

One day young man who was sketchine
in country region CHANGED to see group of
children who seemed to fit the landscape ad-
mirably.
"Come here, boys, and have your pictures
taken," he called, and the lads approach
ed, eager, yet shy. All that forenoon they
posed, in one position or another, and appear:
ed 30 interested that the artist congratulated
himself on having found such willing models.
At 10 o'clock the gentleman packed up his
sketching materials and prepared TO leave.
Here, boys" said he, "l'll give you 10
cents apiece. I'm very much obliged TO you
besides"
Apparently somewhat astonished the child.
rem accepted the money, but when the gentle
man was moving away one boy recovered
himself sufficiently to call: "But where are
our pictures ?"
call safe in this portfolio. You saw me
put them there" came the innocent reply.
"But we didn't have 'em taken for you.
We had 'em for ourselves" said another
child, plaintivelY.
Then the artist understood. "But, my dear
children" he said, gravely, eff you are to
have the pictures, you must pay me for my
paper and pencils, and all my forenoon's
work"
Here's my 10 cents" piped up the ring.

proffered his earnings. The artist was sorely
perplexed. What was he to say? He resolv-
ed TO appeal to the native sharpness of the
Yankee mind.
I'm tell you what I'll do" he said. "Ill
give you five cents more apiece, and just az
soon as get home I'll send you pound of
chocolate creams, and I'll give you my note
for the creams now"
They deliberated, and the creams evidently
turned the scale

fist gravely wrote his promise on slip Of
paper, which, as he afterwards learned, was
carefully kept in an upper cupboard" until

him: what virtue do you most highly

law even recognizes causes for divorce when
a woman-pardon me, madam-is inquisitive

The Seed.

When in the dark, imprisoning ground
The seed lies waiting for its hour,
Within narrow cell fast bound.
Yet conscious of an inward power,
] know that ii must cherish there
Dim longings for the upper air
Dreams of a life more free and fair,
Foregleams Of leaf and flower.
And when at last the word goes forth,
And its frail coverings fall apart,
And rising upward from the earth
A new life thrills through every Fart,
The sun greets it with smile;
And the warm air of spring the while
Its unexpended leaves beguile
From out their beds to start.
Over its head a sheltering tent,
The blue sky bends by night and day;
While at its feet, in sweet content,
The brook goes singing on it's way,
And lifting up its head it gees
The lofty. over-arching trees,
And feels itself akin to these
With joyful ecstacy.
How like dream must seem the str.fs
And longing of its stay below!
How brief the struggle of that life.
Its days of waiting, long and slow
How strange the sweet and sudden bliss
That the dark way could lead to this
I think now can dimly guess;
But one day / shall know!
