stranger instance is related by an Afri-

the animal collectors of Hamburg. He
was out one afternoon with some of the
natives, preparing q bait in a rocky
ravine.

reason why I was not carried off at

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 OPP
portunity to conduct such an expert
ment as was made by the late Baron
Lutz, formerly Prime Minister of Ba-
varia.
The baron was once severely wounded
in battle in both legs. The wound in
one leg was much like that in the other.
1t struck him that here was chance to
study the ways of the surgical profess
sion and beguile the long hours of his
convalescence. He accordingly called
in one doctor, and gave him charge OF
his right leg, but told him nothing
about the wound in the other, and then
called in another surgeon for his left
leg, keeping him similarly in Ignorance
about the wounded right leg.
The doctors adopted very different
mode of treatment, but both wounds
healed at about the same time. When
the baron's legs were quite well, he de
rived a great deal of amusement from
getting the doctors together and mysti
flying them with questions about the
way each had treated "his leg"

I make the foregoing statements

A tired-Iooking man, with a deep
band of Grape On his hat came into &
newspaper Office.

%My cousin Jim is dead" said the
tired man, with a deep rooted sigh;
my only cousin, whom I loved as a
brother-or more.
@That's too bad"
isn't it. though? And II have
written few verses of poetry on him,
or rather about him; aud didn't know
but what you might be inclined to print
them"
The editor found upon inspection$hat
the poetry was not so bad as it might
be-in fact, for obituary poetry it was
rather a superior article. So he said /:
Il think we can find room for this.
"Ah, if you only will My poor, poor
cousin II this tribute to his memory"
Here he either got stuck in his SEN
tence or broke down from emotion and
gave way to tears. Then he put on his
hat, stood on one foot and then on the
other, and finally said:
%Oh, er-do 1 get my check now, or
wait till publication
What check?"
1.-THE check for my poetry, Of course.
Do you expect q man to sit up till 3
o'clock in the morning writing poetry
for the fun of the thing?"
The tribute to Cousin Jim has not
appeared yet.

How Edison Lives.

He spends whole days and nights in
his laboratory, eating little, musing,
living in his head. These long sessions
of abstraction must make a tremendous
draught upon his strength. A friend
called on him the other day and stayed
with him in the laboratory until four q.
m. Edison was busy constructing
something, and talked unreservedlY.
~Are you not going home tonight 2"
the friend asked.
%No; I shall curl up on one Of the
benches so as to be ready for work in
the morning"
Sometimes a workman, coming IN at
seven, finds the great man stretched out
on his bench sleeping peacefully as a
child, renewing the forces exhausted by
long vigils. In such case the work
man always takes another bench; Edi-
son is never awakened by any one. He
is careless about his food A visitor
one day saw him eating some red her

The shamrock sleeps amid the grass
All closed the day books pages
Soft roses hide their pouttng lips.

For the harp OF Ireland's ringing.

Where seagulls fan the dim light;

And bells in tune for vesper chime
Have caught that music only,

And left the midnight lonely.
