Catherine de Medici,s Doctor.

Pharnelius, like many other physi-
clans, was much addicted to philosophy
and mathematics, but having taken to
medicine he speedily attained a great
practice. Henry II as dauphin and aft
erward as king was his constant friend.
Among the most grateful of his patients
was Catherine de Medici, who believed
that his skill had saved her from state
of childlessness, and who gave him on
the birth of her firstborn SIC, 900, order
ing that like sum should be paid to him
at the birth of each succeeding son or
daughter. think that Cardano liked
Pharnelius better than he liked Sylvius.
He says he was pale, lean man of about
so, who loved his study and was full of
domestic affection. He was the profess
or Of medicine in the university and
the first court physician, but he must
have puzzled Cassanate greatly, for he
had an undisguised contempt for court
society.-Blackwood's Magazine.
The Kneipp Fad.
You cannot be half day in Germany
without discovering that "Kneipp" has
there become great power. Half the
population talk ."Kneipp"-they walk
''Kneipp," dress "Kneipp," bathe
''Kneipp," feed "Kneipp," and the more
nimble among them even dance
'Kneipp." Ladies invite their friends
as matter of course-just as naturally
as here they would to partake of a cup
Of tea-to divest themselves of their shoes
and stockings and indulge in a walk in
the river or in some near pond. People
whose sleep is troubled, as matter of
course, supplement their habitual might
cap" with .Kneipp" footbath-aH cold
out of which they draw up their feet
and calves, all moist and dripping, into
the sheets which we benighted islanders
assiduously study to keep dry.
If you may believe the new god of
healing and his votaries. there is no COM
plaint which "Kneipp" will not cure
from simple dyspepsia up to cholera and
even lunacy. And it is all, or most Of
it, accomplished by water-a merciful
dispensation of Providence it may seem,
under the peculiar circumstances her
aiding an era of universal cleanliness
