Examination Free to All.


Although the doctor is in many cases
and chemicals in making analyses, micro
scopic and other scientific examinations,
yet he makes no charges to anyone, believ-
ing 1t to be part Of the physicians duty
to ascertain the patients true condition
without expense to the sufferer. When
ever and wherever DR.. Humphrey decides
to locate a monthly visit crowds flock to
see him, and no wonder, for by the first ex-
animation, and often without asking
question, he tells the invalid what the
trouble is. and the prospect of q cure, and
most wonderful Of all he values his first
impression and first look at patient more
than all else, and DR.. Humphrey is never
mistaken in his diagnosis in any case.
The doctors methods differ markedly
from the general practitioner In all re-
spects. Following the plan of st. Georges
Hospital of London, he registers every
particular as to the patients physical con-
dition and mental state: The condition Of
each orann, location of any and all dis
eased parts, and whether sympathetic or
organic, together with the amount and
nature of the disease. In this way the en-
tire amount OF vital energies are readily
computed and the restoring power OF the
body measured against the force and en-
ergy and destructive capabilities of the dis
ease. Thus knowing the actual condition
OF the tissues and the effect or specific
medicines upon every structure Of the
body, unlike most doctors, he is enabled to
say positively whether any given case IL
durable or not, and can also give the ap-
proximate time and expense of treatment,
and would here point out the utter de-
fusion cherished by many patients that
they ought to get well In a few days or
weeks, Notwithstanding the fact that they
have suffered for years.

his brow is apt to be clouded and his
voice sullen as he says in one form or an
other, 1--WE must manage to spend less
money instead of launching out into new
clothes and servant and all that you
seem to require
Then come the babies, and then
then comes the sad "repenting at leis-
ure." 1t is not cheerful picture, and
we need not treat it in -Raphaelite
spirit, bringing out all its sordid features
and details, but allow me to say to all
whom it may concern that it is q picture
from life coming under my own observ-
alton not once alone. but many times,
and very likely to reproduce itself in the
experience Of any one who chooses to at
tempt 'love in cottage" on very linn
tied foundation.
Must we say, then, that poverty is also
inimical to love; that the goddess Po-
verta, celebrated by George Sand as one
of the most desirable of the Parnassian
royal family, is as little likely to abide
comfortably with Eros as is her brother
Plutus?
Well, yes, think so. In fact, were l
compelled to choose, should select the
loveless wealthy marriage to the loveless
poor marriage, for in the former case the
i'll mated couple can retreat to the ex-
treme limits of very long chain, and
all sorts Of servitors and middlemen and
distractions come in between and enable
the discordant couple to forget their dis
cordance in q multitude of other inter-
ests.
Marriage without love is very mis-
erable condition, but far more miserable
if, through poverty, the married pair
are forced into constant companionship
and the sight and sound Of each others
worries and complaints.
Happiness lies in the middle region,
sang the old Latin poet thousands OF
years ago, and nothing has been said
since to supersede his utterance. Moth
ing is 80 desirable in it's extreme as in
its juste milieu, and most certainly this
axiom applies to the substantial basis of
married life.
Two persons of sympathetic tastes,
temper, habits and aims, marrying upon
an income sufficient to crafty those

pursuits they have enjoyed before mar
riage, stand a far better chance for a
happy life than if they were enormously
wealthy or extremely poor. Especially
is this the case if the wife has a little
money Of her own, enough for her per-
sonal wants and to make little presents
to her husband as well as to other
friends. If she has nothing of her own,
it is safeguard to her future happi-
ness for her friends to insist upon her
future husbands making some small set
tlement upon her and her future chill
dren.
A man respects his wife good deal
more if he does not keep her petty purse,
and the wife loves the husband good
deal more if she does not have to ask for
and account for every penny she expends.

One of the cleverest and yet most
simple btlnco games ever accomplished
was worked by Nadir Shah, q robber,
who became king of Persia, and sub
sequently conquered great part Of
India about century and half ago.
During his progress through the lat
ter country he defeated the Tartar
King of Delhi, and after appropriat-
ing everything in sight, he graciously
offered to reinstate the falling monarch
as his representative and yassal.
The king accepted with alacrity, and
the two swore eternal friendship, and
service and protection respectively.
An elaborate ceremony was arranged
to celebrate the event, and the Tartar
chief made his appearance at the pro-
per time, dressed in all the magnifi-
cence he could muster, but there was
that about him which made the con-
queror start, for, blazing in his tur-
ban was diamond such as Persian
eyes had never looked upon before.
It was in fact no less than the famous
Koh-i-noor, or mountain of light.
Nadir Shah was overcome with NOR
tifcation and regret that he should
have left such gem in the kings pos
session, but he could not consistently
plumber the man he had just promised
to protect.
At last an idea struck him. There
was an ancient and oriental custom of
exchanging turbans as token Of
amity.
Nadir at once put it into practice.
He removed his own handsome head
gear, and rendered it to the other. The
Tartar could not refuse this mark of
condescension, and SO he accepted
Nadir's turban, handed over his own,
and the mountain of light passed away
from Delhi forever. Detroit Free

A UNIQUE Musical Bedstead

A Bombay man has constructed q
bedstead priced at 10, 900 rubees, and
the Ironmonger appends the des-
cription as follows: ssIt has at it's four
corners four full-sized gaudily- dressed
Grecian damsels, those at the head
holding banjos, while those on the
right and left foot hold fans. Beneath
the cot is musical box, which ex-
tends the whole length of the cot.
and is capable Of playing twelve
different charming airs The music
begins the moment the least pressure
has been brought to bear from the
top, which is created by one sleeping
or sitting, and ceases the moment the
individual rises. While the music is
in progress the lady banjoists at the
head manipulate the strings with their
fingers and move their heads, while
the two Grecian damsels at the bottom
fan the sleeper to sleep. There is a
button at the foot of the cot which.
after little pressure, brings about q
cessation of the music, if such be the
desire of the occupant. /"

Old New England Almanacs.

The oldest almanac in New England
is still published annually by David
A. Daboll, rural astronomer and
farmer of the rocky country town
of Groton, in New London
county, Conn, and is entitled
"Daboll's Almanac and Farmers
Friend" This exceedingly quaint
calendar was begun in 1888 and mas
been published each year since. A re-
cent investigation shows that it was
established in that year by Lemnel
Warren and printed by John
Trumbull eat the printing office
near the courthouse, Norwich.
For several years thereafter
it appeared as Bickerstaff's New
England Almanak," though in 1893
it's title was changed to that OF "New
England Almanac and Ladies' Diary"
The name of s. John Weatherwise zap
peared on its title page as being
the author and compiler of
it, and in 1903, besides its astron-
omical and weather news, it
had an affecting account of the
death of Miss Polly and Hannah
Watts, and other reading, 50 curious,
useful and entertaining. The work
did not come into the hands of the
Dabon family until in 1903, when
Nathan Daboll, author of Daboll's
Arithmetic, which was the standard
mathematical textbook in New Eng
land for half century, bought it and
continued to publish it until the time
of his death. After his death his sons
continued to issue it. The publication
still retains in large degree its an
tique and curious character. 1t still has
it's odd wise saws !" and Yankee pre-
dictions about the weather, as for in
stance: Expect a cold storm OF
snow or rain about this time" Then
there are such remarks as g Dog-days
begin, Dog-days end, Moon
runs high " and "Moon runs low .
William Harvey, of Plainfeld, has
probably the only complete file of the
almanac from 1888 to- 1925.
Another old almanac that is still
running is the Old Farmers Alman-
ac, which was established by Robert
B. Thomas at Worcester, Mass, in
1898, and is still published at that
town New York Tribune.
