A Country Doctors Big Fee.

In the summer of 1875, writes @. B.
Mason, l was sojourning with friend
for few weeks in a little fishing viii
lage on the coast of Maine. One night
my friend was seized with sudden and
painful illness which necessitated my
summoning the only doctor in the viii
lage, who lived on a farm a mile dis
tant from our hotel and who combined
agriculture with the practice of medicine.
l aroused the sleeping physician with
some difficulty and stated my errand,
but despite my opportunities he fatty
refused to leave his home, as it was
against an infexible rule to leave his
house at night, no matter urgent the
call. However, he generously consented
to compound mixture, with which l
hastened back to the hotel, where /
found my friend racked with pain and
pleading for medical assistance. l
again traversed the road to the doc
tors house and thundered at the door,
determined to force or bribe the pill
compounder from his domlcile. When
the identity of the intruder was dis

became irate and somewhat abusive. In
vain 1 urged the necessity of the visit
and pleaded the cause of humanity.
Finally 1 offered any fee, in or out of
reason he might demand. This gra1u.
ally softened him. and looking at me
critically to see the full effect OF his
words, he said: "Young man, if l go up
there with you it will cost you a pretty
penny" Appre hensive of mammoth
fee beyond the resources of a compare
lively slender purse, queried somewhat
timidly, "What would you charged" to
which, with the same quizzical look
fixed on his face, the answer slowly
came: "If 1 go up there tonight it will
cost you S1.5O"
Joyously consenting to the condition,
while ooncealing my amusement, has
tened home, and by recital of the
story put the sufferer in such good hu.
NOR that the doctor, on his arrival,
found the patient so far on the road to
recovery that two visits completed the
restoration. Subsequently 1 learned
that the fees charged the villagers dur
ing the doctors exclusive practice among
them of four decades had been fifty
cents for calls made after midnight and
but half that sum for visits in the day
time.-Detroit Free Press.

Dug Up a Colonial Ship.

Maybe it is $50 years since the old ship
whose remains have just been uncovered
in Front street, New York City, sailed
the seas. She was ninety -footer and a
three master, and she may have been a
ship-of-war, for an old bayonet was
found on her, as we'll as a seven-pound
cannon ball. The finders were workmen
engaged under Superintendent J. A.
Heary in excavating for the Front street
power-house of the Broadway cable
road. One day the Italian cellar-dig-
gers reported to Superintendent Heary
that they had struck solid timber and
could go no further. Trenches were
sunk along the mass and it proved to be
the hull of an old sailing vessel, buried
almost twenty feet below the level of the
street. The oak ribs were as solid as if
they had just been turned out Of ship.
yard. The ribs were eight by ten inches
and fastened together with wooden pins.
There was not ali iron nail found about
the vessel.
An old salt said that he had always
known of a tradition that an English
vessel had been sunk by the colonists in
New York harbor about the time of the
tea riots in Boston. He was convinced
now that the tradition was founded in
fact and this was the ship. Old maps
of the city show that just where the
vessel was found was at one time dock
fenced in by a breakwater. The old hulk
may be that Of the ship Judith, Nan

Mulberries.

The mulberry has been a neglected tree
ever since the passing of the "AIulticau-
hs craze" of the thirties, although it
possesses decided value in ornamental
planting, and some OF the varieties, Pro-
fessor L. H. Bailey tells, are useful for
lodges, shelter belts and small timber.
Tle fruit has merit for dessert, is easily
grown and is produced more or less
continuously throughout period of two
to four months of every year. In a
bulletin issued from the Cornell Uni.
versity Station at Ithaca, N. Y, Profess
sor Bailey names sixteen varieties as fruit
bearing kinds, the new American being
recommended for the Northern States.
Black Persian is occasionally grown in
the South and on the Pacific Coast
Hicks is heavy bearer of indifferent
fruit, but valuable for poultry. Stubs
is a profuse bearer of large fruit, of ex-
cellent quality.
The Russian type is valuable for orna-
mental hedges, especially in the prairie
States, for planting sparingly as single
specimens or in groups and for small
timber. The mulberry is easily grown
upon ordinary soils. It is often tender
in the North during the first two or three
years.
The mulberry is propagated by cut
tings of the mature wood of the roots,
by root and crown grating, and by bud
ding with dormant buds in the SPRING

Isle of Wight Samphire.

Our samphire gatherer in the Isle OF
Wight, after ascending to a point at
which his form was hardly discernible
among the giant fragments of rocks, cast
a great armtul of pale green aromatic
cliff herbs into the boat-samphire and
sea poppy and wild mignonette. OF
these the samphire is the strangest, with
its thick, leshy leaves like EGGPLANT, its
salt and pungent scent aud taste, and
pale, uncanny- looking flower.
To gather it in any quantity it would
be necessary to scale the most dangerous
parts of the cliff, and it was while seek
ing this and sea fowls eggs that a crags-
man was engaged when his death oc.
CURED. 1t was his practice to go alone
on his perilous expeditions, and the ex-
act manner of his death will never be
known. It is more usual for two or
three rock climbers to work together. A
crowbar is planted in the turf above and
two ropes are used. One goes round the
body and the other is held in the hand.
The first is wrapped around the crow
bar, so as to be let out at pleasurei the
second is fixed TO it by moose, and
when the cragsman wishes to reascend
he shakes this second rope as a signal
and the men on the top OF the clitT haul
at the waist rope, while he assists by
climbing up the second hand over hand.
The greatest risk is run when the
climber throws Off his waist rope and

Doctor Nausen's late Lecture be,ore
the British Geographical Society con-
tanned many ingenious devices suggested
for the benefit OF future arctic explor-
ers. So many of these devices are de-
pendent upon a supply of electricity,
that the outfit of the coming successful
explorer will not be considered complete
without its dynamo. Doctor Nansen's
proposed method of generating cleo
tricity is TO some extent original, even
if it be somewhat deficient in the quality
of reliability. He proposes to have a
wind mill on deck to drive the dynamo,
and, when the wind fails, to have the
men operate a "walkmill" by shifts,
which would afford them such exercise
as would be involved in heaving an
anchor. The generation of electricity
for lighting the darkness of the long
arctic night is good idea, and, if it
prove a success, why not suspend an
imaginary arc lamp upon the hypotheti-
cal North Pole and thereby establish a
station from which to signal the people

A noteworthy example of the vast
agricultural resources of our country is
found IN the official report of the cereal
harvest for the year 1892. The yield of
three cereals-wheat, corn and oats
reached the enormous aggregate of
2,341, 450, 900 bushels. Assuming that
the population of the United States is
$4,000, 900, those three crops would give
an average of over thirty-six bushels to
every man, woman and child in the
whole country.

The hospital work of our flower ms.
sions has always been recognized as most
benefcent and helpful, observes the
New York Press. In London, musicians
have formed an association known as
"The Guild of St. Cecilia, to cheer and
beguile the patients in the hospitals of
that great city with good music. There
is in this a suggestion for the young
people in the conservatories of New
York. Physicians and nurses agree that
music is the most valuable agency for
healing in the influence it has over the
minds OF the sick and suffering.

Saws the Atlanta Constitution ;

Says the Atlanta Constitution: A
story from San Domingo rivals in dram.
attic interest anything that has ever been
told of tho worlds most famous tyrants.
The President, Henreaux, had his
brother-in-law arrested on a charge of
conspiracy. The prisoner remained in
confinement for some time, when the
President one day went to the prison to
see him. Henreaux ordered fine dinner
aud during the meal was so cordial that
the unsuspecting victim felt confident OF
his speedy release. At the close of the
dinner the President assumed serious
look, and asked his relative in solemn
tones if he was prepared to die. The
alleged conspirator could not believe
that he was in any danger, but his every
confidence was changed to surprise and
terror a few minutes later whena file OF
soldiers appeared and escorted him to
the prison yard, where he was promptly
shot. The despot who could plan such
a horror must have a nature akin to that

This story is told by the New York

barber shop:
Some years ago Edward L. Carey and

get shaved. One asked the other how
much he would pay for the privilege of
getting first chance. The bidding began
at 81 and before it stopped the price was
raised to $l3, which Edward L. Carey
