N Broke Out on the Skin OF the Clam.
& Drinkerr
At st. Georges hospital, says the
London Graphic, the inaugural address
was delivered by DR.. George d. Pollock,
who, after %narrating the early history
of the institution, said it was rebuilt in
1884, when sanitary science was not so
we'll understood as it was today. The
defects of the building as originally
constructed, therefore, had been a
source of constant expense, and though
every effort had been made to secure
efficient sanitation, there were still
some drawbacks which he hoped might
be removed by the rebuilding and con-
siderable extension of the hospital in
the direction of Hyde Park place. The
lecturer proceeded to impress upon the
students the Importance of considering
temper and temperament in dealing
with patients, and strongly urged upon
them the necessity of having regard to
idiosyncracies.
A relative of his could not partake of
rice, one of the most innocent products
of the vegetable kingdom, without most
alarming symptoms. Some friends,
wishing to test the matter. had some
biscuits prepared with but a single
grain of rice in each one. His relative
partook of two or three of these bis
cults, and, becoming uncomfortable, left
the table, declaring that if he were not
morally certain that he had not par
taken Of rice he should say he had been
poisoned by it. He had heard of a, case
in which a man could not eat goose
berries without a certain rash mani
Testing itself, who, at a fashionable
party, soon after the champagne had
been handed round. pulled up his
sleeves and showed a friend that par
ticular rash appearing.
What applied to gooseberries applied
to drugs, and doctors should be careful
of prescribing those which the patient
said did not agree with him. Lord
Byron, in one of his conversations with
Lady Blessington, remarked that medi-
cal men did not attend sufficiently to
idiosyncracies, and thought that what
had cured one man would cure another
with a similar disease. Lord Byron was
an acute observer and judged rightly,
although he expressed himself in an ex-
aggerated manner in regard to lido
syncracies.

HAVE MINDS,
There Is Abundant Evidence That The
Can Think. rs

That the monkey possesses inteili-
gence to a considerable degree is prob
ably true,' said a hotel proprietor who
has a small menagerie on his prem
ises. Il believe, however, much of the
Intelligence with which hal animal is
credited is due to his love of mimicry.
The other day two young Nen with two
girls were at the monkeys cage feeding
him peanuts. One of the girls was
chewing gum and one of the men sug-
gested that she give the monkey some,
expecting that if he took it in his mouth
it would stick to his teeth and he would
make sorry work Of trying to chew it.
The girl at once parted with the sweet
morsel she was so industriously chew
ing, extending it toward the cage. The
monkey grabbed it instantly, and put
it into his mouth, but instead of chew
ing it or attempting to, began pulling
it out in small ribbons, as children are
frequently seen to do. When he had it
all out of his mouth he rolled it into a
compact ball between his hands, threw
it into his mouth and began the opera
ton again. He appeared to enjoy the
performance as much as his visitors.
That was imitation"
That's all right" rejoined another,
"but | had an experience with that same
monkey, wherein he displayed intelli-
gence. I was by the cage smoking one
day and I thought to annoy him by
blowing smoke in his face. was much
surprised to find that instead of being
annoyed he enjoyed it, as was evidenced
by his edging UP as neal me as possible
to receive the smoke in larger volumes.
Soon he began scratching himself at
the point where most Of the smoke
came against him. When l had smoked
enc side for a few minutes he would
turn squarely round to have the other
side treated in the same way. Then he
sat directly in front Of me and received
the smoke %squarely in the face and
neck. I don't know whether he held
his breath, but he did not cough, sneeze
or vince a particle. To complete the
job, he then sat with his back toward
me and it would have done you good to
have seen him scratch. 1t made me
think of the kickers of a hay-tedder in
motion. Now, that monkey knew,
through some sort of intelligence, that
nothing will send fees and other in
sects to the surface or stupefy them as
effectually as tobacco smoke.'-Utica

Public Lands in Oklahoma,

A careful investigation of the public
records discloses the fact that there are
yet several millions of acres of public
lands in Oklahoma yet subject to home
stead entry and settlement.
1t has generally been understood that
all the lands in Oklahoma fit for agri-
cultural purposes are already occupied,
but such is not the fact. Owing to the
method adopted for the opening of these
lands to settlement, in many cases as
high as five or six persons would settle
OH a single track on the day of the race,
and rather than stand the expense of a
contest, or run the risk of other trou-
BILE, would, unknown to each other,
abandon the land. Again, the main
race for lands at those openings was for
tracts near the cities or proposed town
sites and along the lines of railroads,
and thus many hundreds of almost
equally as good farms as are in Okla
homa were passed. over in the mao rush
for homes.
1t is true that a large portion Of the
yet unclaimed public lands are more fit
for stock-raising than for agricultural
purposes; yet there are still hundreds of
good homes awaiting the taking in that
country and undoubtedly a large num-
Der Of eastern people will take advan-
tage of the same the coming season.

Parents sometimes complain that
their boys and girls would rather
spend their evenings anywhere else
than At home, and want advice as to
the best method Of curing such an evil.
When we read such q complaint, it al
ways occurs to US that the chief trouble
may lie in the fact that they do not
make home @ pleasant place for their
children. Is it cheerful at the hearth
and at the table? Does the father
strive to make home bright and happy,
or is he silent, moody and unsociable?
Are his children furnished with proper
supply of books. papers, magazines,
and such other means Of amusement
and improvement as their natures re-
quire? Does the mother make friends
and confidantes of her daughters, or
does she merely dole out to them food
and clothing? Do the parents, in
short, sympathize in the joys and griefs,
the hopes and fears Of their children,
or do they ignore all that is most
essential to the happiness and genial
culture of childhood? Whenever par
ents find that their offsprings are be-
ginning to prefer any other place be.

these questions, and they may discover

A good story was told by q Boston
man who was in Antwerp while the
preparations were in progress for the
exposition. Representatives Of all ma
tions were there preparing exhibits
from their respective countries. In the
evening, says the Washington Star, all
the visitors were in the habit of gath
ering in a large hall on the grounds to
listen to the band play Out of COM
pliment to the visitors the national
airs of the different countries were
played, and received an ovation from
the group of that nationality in the
hall. The night that our Boston friend
attended the band performance this
playing of national airs was on the
programme. All were played, but not
q thing that could be twisted into an
air for the bird of freedom. A delega-
ton Of the Americans went up to the
leader and told him that they felt
sighted that their country had not
been recognized. With profuse apol-
oRies the leader said it was clearly an
oversight, and promised to give them
the American air at once. He distrib-
uted the music, and, waving his baton,
the band broke loose, not with any ia
miliar patriotic air, but 1.-THE Man

Pyeng Yang, city in Corea, was
founded three thousand and sixteen
years ago. 1t is known as the well-less
city. Within its walls is not a single
we'll, and all the water Of the city is
carried up by watermen from the river
which washes its southern wall. Ira
dition shows that this has always been
so, for it is said that when a Chinese
general besieged it two thousand years
ago, believing that he could compel its
inhabitants to capitulate by cutting of
their water supply, he was led to give
up the attempt because the soldiers on
the walls took fish scales and went
through the motions of the baths, and
the scales, glittering in the sun, looked

MAKING THE BEST OF 1T.
An Invalitlcd Fishcrman's Ingenious De
vice for 'ntinuing His Sport

An Invnlidcd Fishcrman's Ingenious De-
vice for 'ntinuing His Sport
A cheerful example of ingenuity in
":naking the best of it" is to be seen at
an apartment house on Spruce street.
1t takes the form of a long, light fish
ing rod fixed to one of the window
frames of room on the third story in
such way that the line depending
from it bangles over the sidewalk a
triflc less than seven feet from the
ground, says the New York Sun
At the hook end of the line there Is
fixed light wire basket and at the
butt end of the pole there sits an in
valid, chained to his chair by paralysis
of the legs. In his active days the in
valid was a great fisherman, and, as his
wife is old and feeble, too, it has been
the old fishcrmans fancy to rig up this
pole and set it for bites. They come in
the shape of the morning and evening
papers, his mail, messages from old
cronies who know his within, and small
parcels from the neighboring trades
men, who also know his fancy.
When the old Waltonian is wheeled
in his chair to the window in the morn

basket to see if there is any bite.
There nearly always is, and then the
window is opened, no matter what the
weather may be, the line is wound in
on the reel until it reaches the end ring
on the pole, and then the fish" is dex-
terously landed.
Sometimes, so the neighbors say, the
old fisherman makes believe to play
with the catch; and when, one day, a
friend loaded down the basket with
a shad that really required good deal
of skill to haul in, the invalid fisherman
was SO overjoyed when he did land il
that he could do nothing but smile fol-
the rest of the day. The cold spell ha.
bothered him a little, but when las
seen, during the recent high cold winds
he had a heavy fur cap pulled down ovel
his ears, q wooden comforter wount
around his neck, fur gauntlets on hi.
hands, and was hauling in package o.
tobacco and a letter with all the con
centrated interest of a true angler hav
ing 1t out with gamy fish.
