Dr. p. was not really a surly man,
but the hurry of his large and ard
uous practice made him appear 50
sometimes. Directly opposite his
Office lived Mr. Bradley, who's wife
was an invcterate and loud-voiced
scold. She h al never had occasion
for the Doctors services except for
one thing, anl that was to set her
dislOcated jaw several times. 1t had
been first injured in an 'cidcnt some
years before, and had never fully re-
covered; any unusual strain was liar
bic to throw it out Of joint aga n.
One morning, as he was preparing
in haste for long round OF profes-
sional calls, his ears were assailcd by
the din Of Mrs. Brad!ey's scolding.
She was giving her husband a violent
curtain lecture, and no doubt the
Doctor was ncttlcd 10y the sound.
Il hope she won't put her Jaw out
of joint with her clack, and come
over here to have it set" muttercd
he to himself.
But the next moment in she came,
holding her chin in one hand, and
with the other pointing into her open
mouth, which She could not shut, and
mumbIing, "Ah, ah, ah."
ayes, yes, [ know" exploded the
Doctor; you've got your jaw out IA
scoldiug your husband. | cXpe ted
it, | expected 1t. Well, sit down
here, and I'll put it down in q wink"
showing a chair towarl her as he
spoke.
She hc .an to sit down, but, lust Is
she WAS almost seated, tho Doctor
discovered that the chair did not
face the light as he wished, aud gave
it a Slight turn. Somehow. between
them the chair was so misplaced
that >ht missed it, and sat down with
a trem, ndous tIlump On the floor
1t is an Ill miSkap that brings nobody
good The force OF her collision with
the lICor did 4 heater job 10 setting
her Jaw than the Doctor could have
done.
Yet, all the Bmc, M,s. Bradley did
not like such style OF surgery.
Scramhllng to her feet, she squared
off, with battle in her attitude aud
fire in her eyes, to give the Doctor a
lingual thrashii (. But she had met
more than her match. The Doctor
ung open the door, and seizing her
10y the arm, marched her out aud
down the steps, eXclaiming:
go right home and stop SCOlding
forever, for I'll never ct your jaw
again.
Home she went, and 1t Is said she
never scoldcd any more. The Incl
dent is suggestive to doctors and
suOlds.

The late Doctor Agnew, of Phila-
delphia, said that catarrhal affections
were almost unknown among the
Quakeresses whom he attended, and he
ascribed it to the fact that the Quaker
bonnet protects the back of the head
and the nape of the neck from cold air.
He might have gone further aud added
that the Quaker women have come
nearer than any others of their sex to
discovering the perpetual bloom of
youth. One meets in and about Phila-
delphia scores of Quakeresses who re-
tain in old age fresh, unwrinkled faces,
clear eyes, and erect figures. The
peace and health of their spirits seem
to conform face and figure.

In the great momentum of the wo-
man movement, which gains new re-
cruits every day, the Chicago Herald
protests that one is inclined to over
look the fact that woman was power
morally, socially and intellectually in
the Fifteenth Century rs well as the
nineteenth that the doors of univers-
tiles were open to her not only to study
but to teach within their sacred pre-
cincts. In the University of Salamanca
she has had place, and when isabella
of Spain desired to acquire the Latin
tongue it was to woman she turned
for tutor. In Italy, even in tine
Thirteenth Century, noble Florentine
lady won the palm of oratory in pub
lie contest in Florence with learned
doctors from all over the world.

It is said that the Austrian authOrl-
ties are very much concerned about
the constant heavy immigration from
their territories, and are doing all they
can to check it by publishing harrow
ino accounts of the miseries undergone
by their emigrants in foreign countries.
They have lately published state
ment to the effect that Austrian emf
grants in Brazil have appealed to their
consul at Rio de Janeiro to request
the Brazilian Government to give
them work or assistance. AS the re-
suit of this intervention, up to the
first harvest, they ware provided with
fifteen days work per month, at
nominal daily wOges of two forms
eighty-four kreutzers, or about Sl.lo'
This, however, explains the New
Orleans Picayune, was not paid IN
ready money, but in paper, which
shopkeepers would only accept at such
a heavy discount that the unfortunate
laborers were barely able to secure the
necessaries of life. The present
Brazilian Government, moreover,
have not kept the promise made by
their predecessors to assign land to
settlers and advance money for Its
cultivation. Consequently, the i'm
migrants have been reduced to destl-
tuition through the increase IN the
price of provisions, the bad harvest
the cessation of work on the roahs
and the stoppage of cultivation.

The Jacksonville Timcs-U tells
of a Florida town situated in "a solid
tomato farm" Of 1000 acres, and pre-
diets that in time the farm will spread
to- 10, 600 acres. The land is pccuiarIy
adapted to the production of that veg
etable, and the growers expect TO re-
alizc large profits. Referring to this
the Macon Telegraph says "thc utiIiza-
ton of peculiar advantages of soil and
climate, Abandonment of the alI-cotton
practice, where possible, and diversl-
fication of crops will bring about a
great change for the bcttcr in tho
South. If the experience Of the last
three years has had the effect of open
ing the eyes of Southern farmers to
this fact, the losses and suffering of
those years We're not all in vain. We
believe the signs of II better lime are
plainly visible, and that Southern ag-
riculturc has seen its worst days"

Upward of thirty years ago, when
David Maydole was roadside black
smith at Norwich, New York, six
carpenters came to tie village from
the next county to work on new
church. One Of thelA, having left
his hammer behind, came to the
blacksmith's to get one made, there
Icing none which gave satisfa ;tlon in
the village store.
Make me good onr--as good as
you know how" said the carpenter.
"But," said the young blacksmith,
who had already considered hammers,
and mad arrived at somc notion Of
what hammer ought to be, and had
a proper contempt for cheapness in
all its forms, perhaps you don't want
to pay for as good hammer as | can
make"
"Yes, | do; ] want good hammer. 4"
So David Maydo'e laade good
hammer that perfectly satisfied the
carpenter.
The next day the mans five com

"An encouraging feature of the latest

By a simple invention, just adopted,
every lighthouse on the coast is to
identify itself hereafter by flashing out
its humber. This will relieve mariners
from the necessity of remembering
many combinations of colors and also
from uncertainty in ascertaining
whether light seen dimly through the
fog is white or red. The wonder is,
observes the New Orleans Picayune,
that such useful and simple device
was not adopted long ago.

Thought Ii Was Fart of the Initiation.
The members OF the Independent
Order Of Enthusiastic Good Fellows
were operating on Mr.. TimberwhCel,
a few weeks ago, putting him through
the operations supposed to be neces-
sary to convert the ordinary citizen
into an Enthusiastic Good Fellow.
They were almost through with the
initiation when some kind OF an eX-
plOsion in the store over which the
hall was situated blew the building
into the middle of the street and in
terfered with the ceremonies.

Gated the people from the debris.
Fortunately no one was hurt very
much, but after census had been
taken Mr.. Timberwheel was found tC
be missing. A search was instituted,
and before long he was found in an
adjoining yard, where the force OF
the explosion had landed him. He
sat in lodge-room chair and his eyes
were still blindfolded.
"Why on earth didn't you take that
thing of your eyes and get out Of the
chair when the explosion occurred?'
asked one Of the Enthusiastic Good
Fellows.
Explosion" echoed Timberwheel.
"Why, l thought that was part Of the
