Not long after Mark Twain moved
into his new residence in Hartford one
Sunday morning he was sitting on his
veranda enjoying his cigar and morning
paper Across the street neighbor was
similarly occupied. Mark started in his
moderate way and walked very leisurely
across the street. The neighbor, who
had never met Mark, much pleased at
tho prospect Of u neighborly call, met
him at the steps of his veranda, giving
him cordial welcome, insisting upon
his taking the easy chair, offering a
fresh cigar. etc. Mark sat down and
after thanking him for his welcome said
in his droll way: II did not come to
make n social call. came to say that
your chimney is on fire. New York

CHAPTER "

"Now, Ned, you are quite sure that
Bruce will come to no harm from this
experiment."
"Believe me, dear, when I tell You
that am certain of it."
Convinced by her husbands assur-
ance, Mrs. Gardner flung open the Ii
brary window and called i'll low voice:
Bruce, come here, Bruce. Ned, I'm
afraid somebody must have locked him
in the stable. and it's such cold, dark
night"
Come in, May, and I will go down."
said the doctor, rising from his chair at
the fireplace and joining his wife at the
window. ooh, never mind, dear; it's
only few steps" With wife 8 loving
care her fingers were busily turning up
his coat collar to protect him from the
chill night air. "That will do, thank
YOU"
"Oh. but wait moment, Ned, until
get a lamp to light you dowl. The
stairs are SO steep. Now, please, dom
move"
DR.. Gardner stepped out upon the ter
race and stamped his feet upon the flag
ged pavement until his wife returned,
and then, while she held up the light
he carefully felt his way down the
strcaky path thrown along the precip-
itous staircase which led into the gar
den. In a few seconds there came a soft
footed rush along the gravel, and q
large staghound bounded up to the win
dow and thrust his nose into the hand
Of his mistress with joyful caress
"Now, May, will you please hold his
head and try to keep him as quiet as
possible while pour the medicine down
his throat" said the doctor, approach
ing with small vial i'll his hand.
"Bc careful, Ned. You've split some
of it over my fingers. There, that will
do. Good old Bruce. Was it awfully
nasty? lie doesn't seem to like it, and,
oh, Ned, my fingers ore burning. See
how red they are. Is it caustic medi.
cine? Why, look how sulky Bruce looks.
He knows as we'll rs you do that we
have played q trick upon him."
"Ho'll get over it presently, dear.
Give him a lump of sugar, and thcn
wen turn him out. He'll b. all right
with his friend Tabby."
but l Thought, Edward, that you
wished to observe the effect Of the drug
upon him." mildly demonstrated Mrs.

taller NOR nousmoksr. Sir Isaac vas .
man with theories According to him,
the two great essentials for those who
would live long and be healthy are
plenty Of fresh air and plenty Of fruit.
His rule was never, if he could help it,
to spend less than two hours a day in
the open air When he entered his first
situation, he said to his employer that
he would be glad to have an hour daily
in the afternoon for walk. If granted,
he would not ask for any holiday, or
would make up otherwise for the time
so spent. This was agreed to. Sir Isaac
took his walk daily, and to this, he
used to say, he owed both health and
fortune.
But though in addition to fresh air
he believed in plenty Of fruit, Sir Isaac
was not vegetarian. 1t was not meat,
but bread, from which he abstained.
Like Wesley, whose Natural Philoso-
ply" he studied when boy, he saw in
farinaceous food thing to be avoided
by the elderly. II take for my break
fast, he said few years ago, "a baked
apple, an orange, 20 grapes and bis
cult made from bananas. My midday
meal consists of about three ounces of
beef or mutton, with now and again a
half cupful of soup. If I take little
fish, take so much less of meat. For
supper practically repeat my breakfast
menu" The orange was his favorite
fruit. Wine he eschewed, but on re-
turning from the house of commons to
Queen Anne's mansions he had tum-
bier of whisky and hot water before 60
ing to bed. He took no drink with his
food, and this obliged him to masticate

day, from which he used to say that he

THE END.
The Age of Trepsnning.

Tho curious custom of trepnning-
that is, Of renewing small pieces Of
bone from the living head-is very an
cient and widely spread In his recent

Tho method of trcpanning is very
fully described, and native doctor
showed DR.. MalLot skull with over
dozen circular holes, two Sits and a
large irregular oriiice, all Of which had
been pierced when the man was alive.
The skull though taken from grave,
was kept hidden, and it evidently was
used as all example by the local doctors
The enthusiastic French doctor says:
"Thc Chaouias respect their tombs and
OIL no pretext will rifle them. The love
of science alone can explain this prof
anation Oh the part of our trepanner
1t is the same sentiment which has led
to our possession of the specimen. DR..
Malbot describes how he acquired tho
specimen which is now in the Museum

tives have recourse to trepanning for
blows or wounds on the head. 1t does
not matter how long before the blow
may have been given, if only Il sick
person can remember that he has had
one. The operation is by no means So
we're one, as the people have most re-
