A Woman Veterinary.

One of the best veterinary surgeons IL
New Orleans Is said TO be Mrs. Everett,
the wife of boss drayman of that city.
She began by treating her husbands
horses during an influenza epidemic.
She had long been sllilful nurse, and
noticing that mules and horses suffered
just as people do, concluded to doctor
them in the same way. The warm
blankets and hot applications, both
external and internal, were wonderfully
effective, so that finally the appreciat-
i've animals would actually open their
mouths to take the remedies. After the
animals had all recovered, Mrs. Everett,
gratified and encouraged by her sue
cess, studied every book she could find
on diseases of horses and mules and
their surgical treatment until she could
set broken leg, extract nail from
the hoof treat cholera, influenza and
lockjaw for which last disease she is
said to have an unfailing cure. She
even compounds her own prescriptions
if necessity demands. Her husband is
now rich man, and Mrs. Everett takes
no pay for her services, but does this
beautiful work out of sheer love for an
imals. Public Opinion.

A Fortune for IL Snowdrirt.

"The most artistic swindlc known tc
the history of the Colorado mining in
dustry occurred three years ago this
winter at Georgetown" said an Old
miner recently. Georgetown is up in
the mountains and in the center of
very rich mining country. In the win
ter snow drifts hundreds of feet deep
among the mountains and packs down
very hard. Two old miners ran tun-
mel into the snow at the base of
mountain distance of three hundred
feet, timbered it up nicely, plastcrcd it
with mud, and at the far end piled q
quantity of very rich quartz. Then
they went down to Denver and became
acquainted with couple of wealthy
Englishmen who had just come over to
look for au investment for their spare
cash that would pay big divvy. They
took them to Georgetown and showed
them their tunnel and the Ell Dorado
at the end of it. The tunnel, had ii
been really into the Rocky mountain,
would have represented thousands of
dollars. The Englishmen were charmed
with it and the prospect. They bought
up the claim. for eighty thousand dol.
lars spot cash, and went cast to con-
tract for quartz mill machinery. When
they returned in the spring there was
nothing left of the tunnel but the
woodwork and a wagon load of quartz
at the end. 1t was the most ridiculous
sell ever known, and the most success.

her work at the prescription desk of.
the drug store in which she is employed
is proving an unqualified success. Miss
Mahegin has the same hours, the same

ceives for the same services, and, ac-
cording to her employer, is the best as
sistant he has ever had. The principal
objection to the work is the long hours,
from eight in the worning till ten or
eleven at night, with but one afternoon
each week and every alternate Sunday
off duty; but Miss Mahegin finds the
work so interesting on account of the
great variety connected with it that the

LITERARY VAGABONOS.
rramps of the Pen Who Could Not Ar
ford to. Ride.

1Oru To- hlue'
The literary tramp is no new thing.
Thousands of years ago blind one sang
of the beauty of Helen and the valor OF
Achilles, Nearer our own days palm
ers, with scrip and scallop shell, told
tales for bread as they tramped on to-
ward the Holy Land, or home from it.
Troubadours sang as they strolled from
castle to castle, and became the fathers
of literature. Then literature ceased
to go on foot. When it could not ride,
as Chaucer did, it stayed at home. Bad
roads. sparse habitations, above all, the
growth of cities did away with literary
vagabondage. Literature almost for
got nature in time, and the tramp took
to -garrets rather than to highways and
wbtc idyls in bed to keep warm. Only
within the last hundred years has
literature again found feet, and the
pleasant spectacle of its makers tramp
ing alone or in couples again become
prominent
Almost the first of literary tramps,
If indeed they come within the de.
scription at all, were Shelley and Mary
Goodwin. They have left little trace OF
their adventures, yet that they could
walk, or thought they could, is evident
in their plan to go on foot from Paris
to Lausanne. We catch a glimpse of
them trudging with Jane CIairmont
through the dust and grumbling bit
tcrly at the evil fare and housing at ths
vagabondage, the two women ridins
by turns on their donkey till a sprained
ankle prompted Shelley himself to ride,
and they had to buy "a chariot" The
poorest of tramps they must have been,
for not love OF nature, but scarcity OF
gold, put them on their feet. What the
natives of the country thought of them
no man may say, for the girls trudged
in black silk gowns and We're of the
hated nation. Doubtless also they
trudged along in the kid slippers and
silk stockings, and the corded and iron
Aushed stays that were of that day.

AN IDEAL DUDE.
The Restoration Beau at the Height OF
His Ambition.


The history OF an ordinary day OF
restoration beau was Something like
this: From about ten till twelve he re-
ceived visitors in his sleeping chamber,
where he lay in state with his periwig
thiclsly powdered lying beside him on
the coverlet Near at hand, on his
dressing table, the curious visitor might
have noticed some little volumes of
amasory verse, a canister Of Lisbon or
Spanish snUf, n smelling bottle, and
perhaps few fashionable trinkets.
AS soon as he deemed proper the
beau arose, and with incredible diff
Guilty proceeded to put on ali his
charms. To perfume his garments; TO
soak his hands in washes for the
sake of producing whiteness and
delicacy; to tinge 'his checks with car
minative in order to give them that
gentle blush which nature had denied
them; to arrange number of patches
upon his face so as to produce the ef-
feet of moles and dimples; to dip his
pocket handkerchief in rose water, and
to powder his linen so as to Danish
from ii the smell of soap; to consume a
Il quarter of an hour in the attempt to
fasten his cravat, as long again in the
endeavor to adjust his wig and to
cock" his hat, as long again in the
optemplation of his charms in the
looking-glass, and as long again in the
practice of such smiles as would dis
play to the best advantage the ivory
whiteness OF his teeth-thcse were the
processes through which he who de-
sired to figure as a beau of the first
magnitude was compelled in that age
to pass.
The character of the beau, so far as
his outward and personal appearance
was concerned, was now complete; and
as in those days fashionable gentlemen
used their legs to a much less extent
than they do now, our imaginary beau
would have directed his valet TO order
sedan chair without delay. Into this
he stepped and was borne to the fash
| ionable haunt-to the Mall in st. James
park, or perhaps to the more ccremoni-
Gus parade in Hyde park, where, like a
butterfly, he delighted TO fntter in the
