The story of a Physician Who Was the
Victim to Circumstances.

The Story of a Physician Who Was the
Victim to Circumst.
When the doctors. in a jovial mood,
get together they invariably tell stories
if they have any time on their hands
Half dozen Rochester physicians were
feeling particularly happy and exultant
q few days ago. They had passed
delightful hour in making an examina-
ton of the body Of a man killed in an
accident. and were well pleased with
each other and the gentleman who had
furnished them with their scientific
amusement. When they were through
their work they adjourned 20 the Office
OF one OF their number and began tell
ing experiences and "reminiscences
They told Of exciting amputations and
exhilarating operations until it came
the turn OF the oldest man present to
speak. Then such tale was unfoIded
as brought tears 70 the eyes of many
present.

SALT-WORKS IN CHINA.
Primitive Methods Employed by the
Workmen.

Sz-chuan is noted. and when the in

THE KING AND THE HUSSAR
Frederiok's Objection to the Attention O,
a Servant to a Tradesman's Daughter.

Frederick's Objection to the Attention O,
a Servant to Trademarks Daughter.
King Frederick ii. had very decided
objection to any of his servants Guilt
waiting the society of the softer sex.
One day he got to hear that Hussar
Dresser, who had charge of the petty
cash, paid regular visits to a trades
mans daughter in Potsdam, especially
at the hours when concerts We're given
at the palace of Sanssouci, or when the
king was asleep. Frederick sent for
Dresser, babe him sit down at the
writing desk and dictated to him the
following letter, as he paced up and
down the room:
My sweet. the king begrudges me
every hour that / spend in your agree
able company. To shorten my absence
in the future. and to prevent their be-
ing noticed and envied by the old
growler, / would ask You to engage a
room in the Brandenb burg suburb. not
far from this place. We shall thus be
able to see each other more convenient
" than in the town. True till death,
your affectionate Dresser"
With trembling hand, and the per-
SEPARATION beading on his manly brow,
the man wrote down the above lines.
'-Finished?" inquired the king.
Yes" said Dresser.
Then fold up the letter and seal it."
This done. Frederick dictated the cor
rect address of the young lady, sent
for a courier. and gave him the let
ter for delivery. The remedy had
its desired effect for a time, but
afterward Dresser was found to be
guilty of grave misdemeanors, and Sc
we're measures had to be taken with
him Yet even then Frederick would
not deliver him to justice, but decided
to reduce him to the ranks.
An officer conveyed the intelligence
to Dresser in his lodgings at the palace.
Dresser started at the news, but seem
ing to recover himself, he begged per-
to go and fetch something out
of his bedroom. A minute later there
was the report of a pistol Dresser had
blown out his brains When the king
heard of this he remarked: II did not

That Is but half the process
When the reservoir is filed the water
is either carried away in fat-boats or
buckets on men $ shoulders to the place
where it is evaporated and the salt
finally secured. There are two methods
One in which soft coal Is used. and an
other in which the heat is supplied by
natural gas. which abounds in certain
places The gas is conveyed to the
desired spot by means of BAN boo pipes
fitted together as well as the Chinese
know how. and then bound round
with braided straw. The fac
tory IS a roughly built shed having par
allel rows Of cast iron pans beneath
which.the gas is burning and the evapor-
alton constantly going on day and night
For lights during the night shifts, there
are naked gas lights Of sufficient guam

Of inability TO control the gas The

The early mornings and evenings are
cool and misty, and we find a demi-
season costume most useful at this
time. The leading textiles that ap-
pear in tailor gowns for this purpose
are cheviots, ladies' cloth, rough sur
faced camefs hair fabrics and light
weight Harris homespun. A pretty early
autumn costume is of biscuit-colored
cloth with brown velvet applique en-
broidery. edged with brown and gold
braid The front breadth is edged
with the velvet There is vest of the
brown, and the collar and cuffs are of
the same. An Argyll coat. long in the
skirt and fitting tightly to the figure,
is worn with this costume. Gowns for
autumn are as abundantly trimmed as
those worn during the summer season;
but there are fewer changes in gar
nitures than in materials, which must,
