A Lesson in Law,

young lawyer who has been practicing at
the bar for may be three or four years received
one Christmas present which he did not appre-
ciate, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. 1t was
nice enough present, but-well, the whole story
had better be told.
On Christmas morning q messenger bow
brought to the young attorneys house pack
age done up in brown paper and tied with very
MISUNDERSTANDING string. He carried the
package into the dining room, where his wife
sat at breakfast, and she Of course started up
full Of excitement and curiosity. In fact
it was she who took the bread knife and
cut the string. Her hands removed the brown
paper and uncovered the inner skin Of white
paper sealed with red wax. A card, q plain
visiting card, lay there. The young LAWYER saw
it, and heaven preserve US blushed. The card
bore the name Of a client of his whose case he
defeat.
What does he mean by sending me q pres
ent?' he asked. 1.-THE last time he was in nv
Office felt inclined to pitch him out of the
window"
Perhaps he wants to make MP at Christmas
time, dear, his gentler half suggested, as she
proceeded to rip up the white paper with q
SILVER hair PIN. In few seconds a couple of
volumes covered in law-sheep were revealed.
The attorney took one of the books up and read
the title: ''Blackstone's Commentaries, vol -
the other book was vol. ii.
what in thunder does he mean by sending
me this!" he asked fiercely.
Il am sure / don't know, dear" said she
meekly.
There was IN uncomfortable silence for sew
eral minutes Then the attorney said with con-
siderable more emphasis than can be repro
duced in words: "Now know what that =

would teach me the rudiments of law. if he had

Hot w alter.

Headache almost always yields to
the simultaneous application Of hot
water to the feet and back of the
neck.
A towel folJ d, dipped in hot water,
wrung out rapidly and applied to the
stomach, acts like magic in cases Of
collie.
There is nothing that 50 promptly
cuts short congestion OF the lungs,
sore throat and rheumatism, as hot
water when applied promptly and
thoroughly.
A towel folded several times, and
dipped in hot water and quickly
wrung out and applied over the tooth
ache or neuralgia will generally afford
prompt relief.
A strip of flannel, or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water
and wrung out, and then applied
around the neck of child that has
the Group, will sometimes bring re-
lief in ten minutes.
Hot water taken freshly half an
hour before bedtime is helpful in con
stipation.
