las ultlmas Sc requiere mas amplia base

ran no sirven para NADIA. ST las reformas de

The Clerk Paid 1t.

During Andrew Jackson's presidency
a certain clerk i'll the treasury depart
ment showed a marked Discrimination
to paying his board bill. He had signed
notes, but his landlady could collect nc
money. In despair she went to the
White House to see jackson. She told
her story, and he requested her to get
the clerks note for the account. She
obeyed and carried the note to Andrew
Jackson, who, after glancing over it,
affixed his signature to the back. Now,
madam" said he, put that in the
bank, and we shall see which of rs shall
have to pay you the money" The note
was duly deposited and was paid by the
clerk, who afterward apologized TO
Jackson and promised to mend his ways

of the business done half a century ago.
Assuredly the leech has seen his best
days With the old regime, when cup,
ping and bleeding were the sheet an
chors of surgery, the leech all but disap-
peared. So constant was his employ
ment in medieval times that his name
furnished a synonym for the medical
profession, and the doctor came to be
known impolitely as "the leech," per-
haps a subtle allusion to the rapacity for
fees which characterized the profession
in those times.

The indicative leeCh is now practi-
cally thing of the past The falling
off in the demand for leechcs by the
medical profession is quite astonishing,
as may be jrdged from the fact that in
the year 49,, the two largest hospitals
in London called for about 80, 900 #
them, whereas now these institution"
order only so or 100 leeches at irregular
and infrequent intervals.
We are informed by well known leecb
importers that the trade in leeches has
been subject to such fierce competition
that the price has been brought down
almost to nil. The quotation for sin
gle hundred leeches at the present mo-
ment is fixed at rate which is little
more than half what the great hospitals
paid for their enormous leech supplies
in 1916.
At that time the importation OF
leeches was carried on by means of sail
ing boats plying to and from Smyrna;
but, owing to the difficulties of transfer
and the irregular arrival of the boats,
many attempts were made to conserve
and breed leeches in England. One en-.
terprising man established three ponds

CHlVALRY AND MATRIMONY.
Time Honored Notions of Olden Days
Which Don't Stand the Test.

We all want TO consider the days of
chivalry as the golden days-never to
be recalled-fOr wOmankind. This is by
implication rank injustice to our own
time.
With all its fine expressions of ardent
devotion to the fair sex and the multi
tude Of its exquisite pretensiOns, chival-
~ was the degradation Of the highest
and tenderest human instincts-the YER
liable curse of the course of true love.
Such statement presents itself TO the
romantic believer as a terrible counter
blast, but it is true, nevertheless. The
records of the treasury and the law
courts of those days, in furnishing the
experience of popular life deeply marked
by the worst shades of modern short
comings, provide the fullest proof.
Chivalry did not make marriages, at
least in the sense of those born of loves
young dream; it entirely ignored ; j
sexual affections and sold its victims
with ruthless indifference to all mutu-
ality.
There were not two parties TO its bar
gains. There was only one, who was al
ways the third of the group and the one
interested, not in satisfying the yeaIn-
ings of the impassioned, but in pecun-
iary sense of their value He was the
vender and might be either king or
baron. But whichever he was, he was
the incarnation Of INSCRIPTIONS power.
The matrimonial transactions of Chiv-
airy were mercenary. To them there
were no contracting parties" in the
shape of whispering lovers, ardent
SWANS and coy maidens. On the othel
hand, there was but sullen indifference
or hating compliance. Chivalry canted
about its faith in women and the purity
of its own motives, because it could not
sing Of love. 1t may be said that it SO
canted because it knew it must cant.
1t knew that its marriages had not
been made i'll heaven and of ethereal
sentiment. They were coarsely bargain
ed for, either in the king S exchequer OF
in the open market place. Chivalry knew
itself as a social falsity and the parent
of lust. As a consequence the Clover
orders" have had to give us the nomen-
clature of our love affairs. Chaucer, the
very mirror of the era of chivalry, has
typifed lust with his master hand,
but he has no picture of the gratified
tenderness of longing youth. In his sur
roundings it was not suffered TO exist.
These surroundings had no terms to
enumerate the ardent SWANS and coy
maidens of rusticity. But if the arts
tocracy can produce no one instance Of
the coy maiden, and the rustic swc,--
heart remains to mock the dubio,.
fancee, it has a wealth of the arts of
diplomacy, and an inexhaustible list of
the terms of intrigue. Chivalry gave cx-
preston to the word "maitresse, which
may have and had the funniest of mean

TEMPTATIONS HARD TO RESIST.
Dreadful Things Some Girls Would 'Just
Love" to DO.

Dreadful Things Some Girls Would "Just
Love" to DO.
1t was the soothing hour, when, after q
cup of tea, the merest of feminine ac-
quaintances become friends and confide
their inmost emotions to each other. They
had met at the house of a mutual friend
and now sat discussing matters dear to the
feminine heart.
It was the girl who is always carefully
cheperoned who turned the conversation
away from the newest sleeves by saying,
with a conscious air:
"I suppose we all have q longing to do
some one thing which must always, as
long as we live, remain impossible"
II suppose so,' sighed the hostess, "else
we'd never attempt to act in private the
atricals.'
THAT Is not exactly what I mean,
though acknowledge the wisdom Of your
remark. / mean something which con-
ventionality will never allow one to at
tempt. For instance, one of the cleverest
men I ever knew confided to me not long
ago that he felt he could never reach the
highest pinnacle of human happiness un-
til he had made pie.
"I confess" said the girl who earns her
own living, "that have such ho,eless
desire myself You'd never guess nat 1t
Is, SO I'll tell you. l want to wal : alone
up through Lincoln park some moonlight
night after every body is asleep To tell the
truth, am afraid that, thinking of it so
much, may start out In my sleep some
night to do It, In consequence / always
lock my door before l go to bed and hide
the key. 1t Is rather troublesome, too,
when Nell has been to the theater," she
added thoughtfully, "for I always forget
where I've hidden 1t on being reused from
heavy Sleep"
"That is just it," said the girl who Is
always carefully chaperoned, land the 9th

only confess it."

"But he need never know"
"Oh, yes, he would, dear. The fact is
that I'd have to tell him myself II she told
me anything remarkable" n.
"Still there Is always the hope that you
may be awfully Ill some time. and you
might coax him into giving his consent
when there is no prospect of your ever be-
ing able to do It, said the girl who Is al
ways carefully chaperoned. "As for me,
there is absolutely no hope that can ever
