Owen O'Connor and thu Count Johannes
regarding the cause of the terrible MOI
tally in the last act of Hamlet" and
do not want at this date to get into a
long wordy war with Euripides or his
folks, who might be sensitive.
In conclusion, Mr.. Gurley, let me say
that am ready at any time to write out
thesis or an exhaustive treatise on al
most anything for those who do not feel
like it. All ask is that you will make
allowances for the fact that my opinions
when 1900 miles from my library are
purely off hand and may err at times.
You are right in attributing the
Queens death to weakness. Weakness
and lack of strength together carry off
many of our best queens, think.
Regarding the madness of Hamlet, |
agree with Mr.. O'Connor that it was
only temporary, and in Mr.. O'Connor's
own conception of the part l think it
was caused especially in Peoria by the
fact that 81 great coarse boys brought in
pair of frozen rabbits apiece and threw
them with unerring skill at a soliloquy
which Hamlet was trying to free himself
Of. If that would not make Hamlet
[ say, without my library l am not sure
of anything.
Speaking of being entertained while
travelling and lecturing over the coun-
try" remarked Bret Harte to me a few
weeks ago, Il do not murlnur or repine
because this matter is not always man
aged successfully, but remember some
cases when | look over my glorious past
where should have known better than
to accept from strangers the hospitali-
ties which really gave me pang.
"Once I received letter from man
who had been constant reader and
who wanted me to make his house my
home, and all that sort of thing-no airs,
no scallops, but just a glad contrast to
hotel life. l was to be at his town in a
few days, and so in an unguarded mo-
ment l accepted. l used to accept ev-
erything in those days-everything that
was not tied down too hard
"Well the man met me at the depot,
and we walked through keen frosty air
to his house in Muggins' addition. l
was tired and wanted to lie down and be
at rest, for | had sat up all day in a hot
coach, and every nerve in me tingled,
but people began to drop in to greet me
and dine at the house, so | could not do
so. My room was very neat, but the
shams hurt my ears, so that l could not
get to sleep till it was time to go down
to dinner.
1.-THE first course was to be stewed
oysters, so l was told by one of the chill
dren when first came. 1t turned out to
be true. The host dished them out with
teacup into deep quart bowls, and trying
to keep up a run of persifage while serv-
ing the thing he ran out of stew before
he had gone half way round So he at
tackled his wife for more stew, but there
was no more.
"'All right he said, just give me
back your bowls, and We'll have new
deal Those We're his very words. We
gave him back our cooling stew, and he
poured the whole thing back again. Then
we had a new deal.
Il never saw such Il cheerful ass as
that man in my life. His carving was
just as bright and unconventional. oh,

1t is the common belief that surgeon
must possess what is spoken of as an ex-
traordinary good nerve, and you may per-
haps doubt if you possess this. At the
same time you must bear in mind that in
the case Of II surgeon the GOODNESS or calm
ness which is so admirable and necessary in
an operation does not imply the possession
of any remarkable personal quality, but it
Is the simplest result of IA complete knowl-
edge of what he is doing 1t is rather the
natural outcome of his accurate familiarity
of anatomy and his daily habit.
A trooper would require very fine nerve
to 20 to masthead, or II sailor to ride an
unmanageable horse across IL country, but
a sailors confidence aloft is due more to a
matter of habit than to any particular
amount of courage. In saying this, do
not wish to depreciate the calmness of the
surgeon in the face Of difficulties, but
may tell you quite plainly that If you
haven't enough courage to be surgeon
should be very much ashamed of you, and
you would turn out to be II very poor crea-
ture, whatever occupation you might fol-
low. Still this fact remains, and you may
perhaps be interested to hear that l. who
have known many good surgeons, have
never seen one who has not possessed avery
nne courage. Surgeon In Longman's

AT dinner some time ago jolly old
astronomer related the following stor'
about departed friend, Mr.. f.:
Mr.. F. was such a good natured man
that the approach Of death itself could
not disturb his peace of mind and ap-
probation of humor. He lay dying, and
his poor wife was nearly worn out with
anxious watching. She was so tired that
by mistake she gave her husband instead
of the doctors medicine dose from the
castor oil bottle. When she discovered
her mistake, she was almost frantic. She
summoned the doctor ut once and await
ed his coming with fearful eyes and bit
ter self reproach. The doctor came and
assured her that no particular harm
could have been done; that her hus
band was dying, and medicine could not
save him now. Still the poor woman
wept and grieved.
The doctor tried to comfort her, but to
no purpose. If she had only given the
medicine and not the oil, perhaps her
dear husband might have got better
She had killed her dear husband-killed

argue, when the dying man spoke up
