 The young man on the opposite side i, of the table studied the bill of fare for some time, while the waiter stood on one leg with his ear held out for the . order, and then he said: ''I want some of that hominy and side order of maple sirup, little of the spinach, some sweet corn, and a cup of choco- ylate." The waiter slowly moved his lips in amazement, says the Chicago Record, and had the order repeated. He smiled and started away, and the young man looked after him frown- ing:
 ''Confound these waiters," he said, 'I suppose they expect every man to order something conventional, like steak and coffee or liver and bacon"
 "You did put in queer order," was suggested.
 ''Oh, don't know. It may turn out to be a good combination. I'm experi- menting all the time"
 Experimenting"
 ''Yes; try new combinations. How did people ever find out that jelly and roast duck go together? How did they ever get on to spring lamb and mint sauce, pie and cheese, steak and mush- rooms, and so on? Why, by trying new combinations. I order whatever strikes my fancy, and in that way get some good combinations"
 "What are some you have discov- ered?"
 Scrambled eggs and cranberry sauce Is one. Cold pigs feet and lemon ice is another. Did you ever dip slices of banana into hot bouillon? Of course not. There are no fixed rules about things-you must experiment..

FORTUNES OF MEDICAL MEN.
Eminent English Physicians Who Have
 Died Leaving Millions Behind.

Eminent English Physicians Who Have
 Died Leaving Millions Behind.
 Some great men have died leaving large fortunes behind, and others have died poor, says the British Medical Journal. The will of Sir William Gull, which was sworn under e344,000 is generally quoted as the largest amount left by member of the medical pro fession. This, however, was exceeded by Dr. Blundell, who died in 1877 and left fortune of e350,000. Among other wills of six figures may be mentioned Sir Erasmus Wilson, e264, ,000; Sir An drew Clark, e204, ,oO0; Sir Oscar Clayton, e146,000; Sir George Burrows, e104, ,628; Sir William Bowman, e103, ,948, and Sir Charles Locock, e100,000.
 Of the fortunes made by members of the medical profession very little has been left institutions connected with that body. A notable exception to this stands out in the munificent be- quest of Sir Erasmus Wilson to the Royal college of surgeons, by which that corporation received e20o,000. In addition to this bequest, Sir Erasmus
 
 and charities connected with the mcdi- cal profession. The name of John Radcliffe, too, must not be overlooked in this connection. The Radcliffe in frmary has been erected by the trus- tees of the will. In addition to these, the Radcliffe library, now housed in the university museum, which is one of the finest scientific libraries in the world, is entirely supported by the Radcliffe trustees. Another exception to this rule is the will of the late Mr. Brickwell, of Tottenham, who died during 1893, and who left the residue of his estate to the Society for the Re- lief of the Widows and Orphans of Medical Men. The ability to leave these large legacies comes to but few, and the main body of practitioners will agree with Socrates that Ia physician is ruler of bodies, and not maker of money"

Brady, his manager, has spared neither pains nor expense to secure new specialties for the comedy, and that the opening night will be successful one goes without say ing.
 Manager O'Brien is constantly adding to his already large list of first class attrac- tions for the coming season, and it is safe to predict the most successful and brilliant season ever knownIatthat wef1- known play house. 1-~~
 ~ Work of repairing the interior of the opera house is constantly going on, and when the doors are thrown open on the night of the 29th of August many pleasing changes will be noted.

 In the election of M. Casimir- Perier to the presidency of the French republic there occurred an incident of remarkable inter- est and one apt to be overlooked in the many thrilling scenes connected with the event. When urged by friends to stand for election Casimir Perier hesitated, fear ing defeat. and almost declined to allow his name to be presented for the office. At this juncture his friends remembered the powerful influence his mother wielded over him, so they summoned her to take tened attentively to the arguments, for and against, and then in the following words advised her son to yield to the desire of his friends and political followers:
 History Is in my mind, and, inspired by my affection for you, declare that your grandfather, if he were here, would tell you that in the circumstances it is your duty to stand and accept the mission which may be confided to you by congress. '
 M. Casimir- Perier accepted his mother's decision, went before the cham Der of depu- ties and became president Of France. Mother and son are alike worthy of each other, and both deserve the glory and fame that have come to them.

A JEWISH WARNING AGAINST THE
 A. P. A.

American Hebrew.
 The obnoxious American Protective as- sociation, the orga nization which is seek ing by concerted action among protestant Christians to disfranchise and ostracise all Catholics, seems to be thriving apace. Even in the large cities, where the spirit of charity and tolerance and patriotism might be thought to subordinate the sway of bigotry the protestant press and pulpit seem to hesitate, either tacitly forbearing or boldly supporting the benig hted tenets of the American Protective association and but sparsely coming out with any de- gree of courage or emphasis in opposition to them. Sooner or later our protestant friends-those who are influential in protestant circles-will be compelled to de- clare themselves either on one side or the other. Before long the conflict will be definitely drawn on the lines of protestant ism versus American citizenship. That has very ugly look in politics and the only way to avoid it is for influential protestants to use their power to crush out this outrageous attempt to inject religion as a factor in our political life.
