Mr.. Armour and the Boo:black.

A 'bootblack walked into the office
of Mr.. Armour. He had none of his
outfit with him but the bootblack was
stamped in his face. and all over him.
He went to the gate where guard
stands between his post and the great
est packer in the world.
''W'ere's de ole man?" asked the ur-
chin.
The guard told the boy to get out.
You tell de ole man dat want to

The Giant Spider of Ceylon.

Far up IN the mountains of Ceylon
there is gigantic spider which spins a
bright yellow web, each thread being
almost as large and strong as the but
tonhole tw ist'' of embroidery floss sold
at penny spool at the stores. The
net which this creature forms from
these webs is often five to eight feet
across. This net is swung on main
stays or guys, Ehich are from ten to
twenty feet in length and strong
enough to cali the pedestrian to halt
as suddenly IS if he had encountered
a low-hanging clothesline. These vel
low webs are, collected by the natives
and woven into pretty mats, scree rs,

BRASS MULE MEDICINE.
A Chinese Cure That is Simpler
Than Patent Drugs.

A Chinese Cure That Is Simpler
Than Patent Drugs.
A traveller recently returned Pekin
says that he saw there a peculiar
method of cure. In temple outside
one of the city gates is to be found
brass mule of life size supposed to
have wonderful healing proper
ties. Patients suffering from every
imaginable disease seek this temple to
obtain cure.
The method pursued is as follows:
Suppose yoh suffer from sciatia, you go
with all speed to this famous temple,
and having discovered the particular
part of the brass mule corresponding
to the painful region of your own body,
YOU must rub the animal a certain
number of times and then with the
same hand shampoo your own dis
abled member, and then-well the
pain goes.
The special feature of this method of
cure is its delightful simplicity. Is
your tooth aching? just scrub the
mules teeth then afterward your own,
and VOLTA! the cure is complete. Have
you an ulcer of the cornea? Pass the
tips of your fingers to and fro over the
particular eyeball of the mule, ard
then with well-regulated pressure rub
repeatedly the afflicted eye.
The mule has unhappily lost his
sight during the many years he has
been engaged in his benevolent work,
the eyeballs we are told ara told hav-
ing been gradually worn away, as the
result of constant friction, until now
you have only the empty orbits to op-
crate on.
The animal is patched in all direc-
tions with fresh pieces of brass put on
to cover holes produced by the con-
stant friction of eager patients, and a
new, perfectly whole mule stands
ready at hand, awaiting the
day when his old colleague, having
fallen to pieces in the temple. shall
give him an opportunity of likewise
benefitting posterity.

TESTING THE COINS.
Aseertalning the Average Meta
of a Silver Dollar.


- of a Silver Dollar.
From every fresh lot OF silver dollars
made few are sent TO the governments
assayer Mt Washington for testing,
says the Washington Star. Weighing
is but matter of scales, but it is
decreed that the dollar, for Instance,
must be exactly nine-tenths silver, the
remaining tenth being copper. and a
variation of not more than IL grains
in the quantity of the noble metal is
allowed. First. the silver dollar has
to be rolled out thin in a machine,
because when the coin is made the
silver in it has tendency to go toward
the middle, so that the metal ON
the outside is not so fine as within.
But the assayer must discover the
average fineness of the piece In order
to ascertain just how much silver there
is altogether in it. and he does this in
very curious way.
He passes the thin strip of metal
into which the dollar has been rolled
through little contrivance operated
by crank that is turned by the hand.
The strip comes out punched as full Of
holes as it can be, while hun dreds Of
small circular disks about the size OF
gold quarter fall out of the holes
thus made into tiny box below. Next
the disks are taxen out of the drawer
and mixed up; few of them are taken
from the lot and they, representing the
average of silver, are subjected to
! chemical analysis.

he would have fought ten men as soon

Bill held up his right hand and three
reports followed each other like the
ticking of clock. Each fingcr was
shot off at the first joint.
'That'll do." said the man, as he
lowered his weapon. You can't pull
trigger with nothing on that hand and

He went out and away. and Bill sent

believed he jumped off House cliff into

ECONOMY in the matter OF safe

is asserted that a wreck which oc-
curred recently on a road leading out
Of Chicago was directly due to the

In the face of the fact that the road
was carrying 100, 900 passengers a

The wreck due to this economy will
probably cost the company anywhere

loss and damage suits, to say nothing
of the bad reputation which the
wreck gives the road. which will lose

HUMAN JUDGMENT
Displayed by a Deer in Saving Her
Fawn.

Displayed by Deer in Saving Her
Brute instinct has formed the theme
of many ar article, and wonderful in
stances have been given of the exercise
of almost human Judgment by animals,
but the following, which came under
our own observation, is just a shade
over any thing we ever read: Last Sum
day c. Sweeters and the writer were
driving up the Water canyon, and as we
turned a bend we saw a doe and a
young fawn drinking from the stone
ditch. At our approach the animals
were startled, and in attempting to
turn and run the poor little fawn lost
its balance and fell into the ditch. AS
many of our readers know, the water
runs very swiftly and in great volume
up there. and, OF course, the fawn was
carried down stream. The mother deer
seemed to lose all fear of us, and ran
along the edge of the ditch trying to
reach her offspring with her head
Suddenly she ran ahead of the float
ing fawn for some little distance. She
plunged into the ditch with her head
down stream and he~ headquarters to-
ward the fawn. She braced her fore
feet firmly in the crcvices of the rocks
to resist the rush of waters. In a
second the fawn was washed up on its
mothers back. and it instinctively
clasped her neck with it's fore legs. The
doe then sprang from the ditch with
the fawn on her back. She lay down
and the baby dear rolled to the ground
in an utterly exhausted condition. Mr..
Sweeters and myself were now not
more than thirty feet from the actors
in this animal tragedy, but the mother,
seemingly unconscious of our presence,
licked and fondled her offspring for a
few minutes until it se to its Feet, and
the doe and fawn then trotted off up
the mountain side.
If there is anybody who doesn't be-
lieve Mr.. Sweeters when he tells this

so as to acquire a substantial ground
work for their future studies. The
didactic instruction is illustrated by
plates. casts, models, anatomical and
pathological specimens and materia
medica and pharmaceutical prepara-
tions. The advanced students assist
in operations and have the fullest op-
portunlties for the examination of pa
tients. The Thomas Wilson Sanitari-
um for children has for the past five
years appointed graduate OF this
college to the position of resident ply
sician. By a recent action of the
faculty a certain number of senior
students are elected to be hospital
students" by which they have special
facilities for clinical observations and
study from constant attendance While
many of the students enter the college
with a desire to earn a livelihood by
the practice of medicine. not few
study from genuine love for the
science and make no practical use of
this knowledge. Others study from
philanthropic motives to become ply
sician missionaries in foreign lands.
There are two of the latter class at
present in the college.
While to the United States belongs
the distinction of having established
tie first medical school in the world
for the exclusive education of women,
Baltimore can claim the honor of
being the first and only Southern city

undoubted advantages offered for the
study in this city there are compare

a not very common sight to see a
bright young woman trudging ener-
eetically along with her medicine case

in her stylish-looking buggy. There
are altogether not more than thirteen
regular female doctors in the City
Physicians Directory, although there
are many nurses who have made a
partial study OF medical science and
who practice medicine to some extent.

ANOTHER complaint crossing the
Atlantic is to the effect that the hotel
companies in London are groanin 2
because of the dull season, which is
largely due to the fact of Americans
patronizing their own country this
year. Americans are a species of
milch COW for Europe's maintenance,
and it is no wonder if things collapse
without the rich nourishments they
always afford. 1t is well, however,
for them to remain home now and
then, just TO let this truth come to
the surface and illumine the situ-
alton.
