Beating Many Railroads.

II once rode from Denver to New York

Schuyler. "By the terms of the wager /
was to ride first class, to be put off no
train and to pay for less than one mile In
three. / won easily. l would board a
train at the end of division with ticket
good for fifteen or twenty miles. Before
riding out my ticket / would manage to
ask the conductor several questions about
the town at the other end of his division,
our time of arrival there, etc. Iwould then
don smoking cap and go forward to the
smoker and take my ease. Frequently
the conductor would pay no further atten-
tion to me and would go through nicely.
Sometimes conductor would come along
looking for checks. l would name the
town at the end of his division. That gen.
orally satisfied him.
"If he insisted on seeing my check
would tell him my hat was in the next car.
Only one came to report that my tile con,
tained no check. was trifle indignant
at being so frequently disturbed, looked
through my pockets, went back and stared
at my hat, and then rendered him fare,
which he declined to take. OF course

Authors, knowledge of Medicine.


We laughed when Mark Twain proposed
to deliver course of lectures upon chem
istry before the Royal society, adding that
he was sin position to do this with
greater freedom, because he knew nothing
whatever about the science" but the pub
lie do not laugh at, but take in all serious
ness, the medical incidents and opinions
scattered up and down the pages of the
|. novels and poems which so commonly deal
with medical matters. One of the strange
medical things in "Monte Christo' is the
way in which the old revolutionist, Noir-
tier, manages to live on, paralyzed in every
part of his body except his eyelids, which
he winks freely. Yet the old fellow reasons
acutely and finds no difficulty whatever in
swallowing food and drink.
Dumas seemed absolutely unaware that
such a paralytic condition as he describes
in Noirtier's case involved Of necessity
brain damage of the most serious kind.
Elsewhere Dumas made aguillotined head
speak and weep. In one of his tales in the
volume Lies mile ct un Fantomes" there
is a story Of man engaged in making ex.
periments on heads fresh from the guillo.
tine in the Reign of Terror.
Then there was Krook, the Lord Chan
cellor in "Bleak House." who went off
the earthly stage by spontaneous COM
bustion. Dickens might well be excused
for falling into an error which was at that
time commonly believed in by people who
ought to know better. Bulwer Lytton
went in for medical marvels in "Zanoni,' ~
but as he was a student of mystic lore, and
actually learned magic from a professed
thaumaturgist, the Able Constant, his
wonders were attributable not so much tc
his ignorance of medical science as to his
belief in the elixir of life and the transmu
tation of metals.-British Medical Journal

The Baby ana Its mamma.

About the first thing the man with a
travelling case and dropping mustache
noticed upon entering the train was the
pretty young woman with baby sitting
by herself in the forward end of the car.
The man looked exceedingly affable as he
slid into the seat Immediately behind the
pretty woman, and within the space Of a
minute and a half he had made friends
with the baby by means Of series of
wild pantomimic demonstrations. "A-gool
a-goo!" The man with the dropping mus
tache thrust his head forward ostenta-
tiously and emitted a sound resembling
the gurgle of water running from a jug.
The infant was visibly pleased. "Whose
baby is oof" The man was clearly work
ing the child only as means to an end.
He glanced furtively now and then at the
pretty woman. She looked steadily from
the window. "Does 90 love 90 mammaT
The man thrust his finger playfully among
the baby's ribs and was rewarded with a
delighted screech. "Pretty baby Pretty

The man thrust his head forward with
still greater ostentation and opened his
eyes very wide. The woman gazed alb
stractedly at the landscape. Pardon me,

of the seat with respectful mien. II am

woman turned her head at last. "Indeeds''
she remarked ''Ah, yes" The man with
the droopingl. .,tache sighed "And this

the chin. "Of yours is the sweetest A
look of Mortified astonishment invested the
