SCENE AT THE HOSPITAL.
Experience OF Man Who Said Doctors
Were Heartless.

An opinion was expressed by pro-
fessional man the other day that doc
tors were 4 heartless lot of people, and
the man who expressed it backed it
up, says the New York Sun, with an in
cident he had witnessed in n hospital.
\ patient was suffering from hy-
drophobia, and the professional man,
who was looking at the sufferer,
asked the doctor:
Does the sight of water throw him
into a spasm?"
You can see for yourself" replied
the doctor, and he produced a glass of
water, the sight of which brought on
a spasm horrible to witness.
Some time later, when the ward
where the sufferer was lying was Wis
tied by two physicians. one of them
asked the attending doctor:
What is his condition? Has he got
any chance of getting well?"
HE is very low" was the reply
Hes likely To die any minute. You'll
be at the autopsy tomorrow, won't
you?'
That shocked me-" said the profess
sional man. 1T was all right, 1 know.
The patient didn't understand, but the
idea was shocking 1t was cold-blood
Ell. 1t doesn't seem to me that a hui
man being should ever permit himself
to become so callous. But they do.
l want to say right now that if l am
ever sick L shall protest against going
to n hospital so long as there is breath
in my body. I'll die at home or in the
street, but no hospital ever gets me,
remember that"

SAVED THE OWNER TROUBLE.

High street went TO his place OF bust
hess at an unusually early hour one
morning; in fact. the sun had not Vet
risen when he turned the KEY in the

find a man trying TO open the door of
his safe. He stood and watched him
for some time, apparently deeply in
terested in the proceedings, says the
West Bedford Mass Windmill. when
finally the burglar swung open the
door OF the safe with a delighted
chuckle, but happening to turn he saw
that he was discovered. and became
very much alarmed He jumped up and
vas about to make his escape through
Il back window. when the merchant
called 10 him:
Don't be in n hurry, my friend;
come back and sit down awhile and

OUTGROwN FRIENDSHIPS.
Sad Changes In the sunny Fields of Com
radeship.


radeship.
Is there anything more distressing
in life than a friendship outgrown:
This doesn't mean one that has been
broken off through some difference of
opinion, some misunderstanding that
few words could have set right, or
an estrangement the result of IA hasty
temper that prompted ugly words and
untruthful, bitter sentiments; no,
friendship outgrown is the unhappy
product of too much worldlineses on
one side or the other. Perhaps educa
tion would be the better word, or
knowledge of the world a more comeiy
phrase, but whichever pleases most the
outcome of the same never varies.
Take two girls at school, says the
Philadelphia Times, chums they have
been through all the years of study
and fun they have passed together.
they separate at graduation swearing
eternal friendship, letters fly back and
forth for a time, and then one pays the
other visit. All, how many illusions
have been dispelled in that reunion?
Life has changed one, perhaps, from
the girl of a year ago into a woman,
while il has left the other where she
was. After the first good talk over old
times they cannot help seeing that
there is something different in the at
mosphere that was once SO thorough
ly congenial. The visit over. a few more
letters. then silence and another friend

change that has grown up on the sunny

by DIR. johnson in reference to Lord
Mansfield. An amusing little incident
is said to have given rise to the re-
mark.
Lord Mansfield. having received his
education entirely in England. always
considered himself an Englishman, but
the fact that he was born in Scotland
was once referred to with great effect.
Gen. Sabine, governor of Gibraltar at
the time, having failed in his attempts
to extort money from a Jew, sent him
back by force to Tetuan, in Morocco.
from whence he had come to Gibraltar
The Jew afterward went to England,
and sued the governor for damages
Lord Mansfield, who was then known
as Mr.. Murray, was counsel for the gov
ernor In the course of his defense be
fore the jury. he said:
True, the Jew was banished; but
where? Why, to the place of his Ma
tivity, Where is the cruelty, where the
hardship. where the injustice of Danish
ing a man to his own country"
Mr.. Novel;. counsel for the Jew, re-
torted: ''Since my learned friend thinks
so lightly of the matter. l ask him to
suppose the case his own; would he like
to be banished to his native land?'
The court rang with peals of laugh
