L
tan and His People, says that n Turk
isli physician was called TO visit man
who was very i'll of typhus fever The
doctor considered the case hopeless,
but prescribed for the patient and took
his leave. The next day, in passing
by, he inquired of servant ut the door
| IL his master was dead.
"Dead!' was the reply; ''no, he is
much better"
The doctor FASTENED up stairs to OBJ.
tain the solution of the miracle.
"Why," said the convalescent, 81
was consumed with thirst, and l drank
"A pailful of the juice of picked cab
bage."
Wonderfully quoth the doctor; and
on. came the tablets, on which he made
this inscription: Cured of typhus
fever, Mehemed Agha, an upholsterer,
by drinking pailful of picked cabbage
juice"
Soon after, the doctor was called to
another patient, yaghlikgee, or dealer
in embroidered handkerchiefs, who
was suffering from the same malady.
He forthwith prescribed "a pailful OF
picked cabbage juice"
On calling the next day to congratu-
late his patient on his recovery, he was
astonished to be told that the man was
dead.
In his bewilderment at these phe-
nomena, he came to the safe con-
clusion, and duly noted it in his memo
randa, that although in cases of
typhus fever picked cabbage juice is
an efficient remedy, it is not to be used
unless the patient be by profession an
upholsterer
why Not?
An English gentleman and his wife
who were visiting friends in Scotland
were taken to see an interesting mon
astery not far from Cluny, their friends
estate. In that part of the country a
man is known by the name of his es-
tate. When they were asked to write
in the monastery visitors book, the
Englishman noticed that his host, Mr..
MacPhearson, wrote "Cluny and Mrs
Mac Phearson."
Not to be outdone, the Englishman
promptly wrote, "26 Lennox Gardens.
Pont street, and Mrs. Lockwood"
Another story is told of Mr.. Lock-
wood, in which his part is not, one
must conclude, rs innocent as it looks.
He is evidently fond OF n joke.
lie often visits extremely wealthy
and hospitable friends in the country
These friends have a room ready for
him whenever he cares to occupy it.
The house is seven miles from a rail
way station or telegraph Office. He
once telegraphed them from London:
''May stay over Sunday?'
His host paid ten or twelve shillings
to the messenger, and replied: "Of
course. but don't telegraph"
TO this Lockwood innocently replied
by telegraph-"Why not?"
