Reason for Protesting.

There is a story told of q young ply
sician Of this city who was connected
At ono time with the emergency hos
pital which has caused many smile
at his expense. He had not long been
stationed at the hospital when woman
was brought in suffering from a severe
scalp wound. The blood was yelling
put in great jets and was fast dyeing
her golden curls rusty rcd, and the
doctor was engaged in hastily clipping
her hair, when his patient exclaimed.
'Oh. doctor. don't!'' Thinking nc
might have hurt her, he said. '.Oh.
never mind; that's all right" mo
It's not" responded the lady with some
warmth, "foryou are cutting my wig"
And SO he was.

Not the Same Travellers.

Madam Talleyrand was n striking
example Of the time-wOrn theory that
brilliant men usually marry womeD
of little intellect.
The diplomatists wife was very
beautiful, but so utterly ignorant that
she frequently made the most absurd
mistakes. One day Talleyrand Invited
the famous traveller, Demon, to dine at
his house, Before dinner he whis
pered to his wife:
MY dear, Monsieur Demon Is n ia
nous person. and 1 wish you to be es-
pec,ally polite to him. He may be use
full to me at court, SO ask him about his
travels and make yourself agreeable.
His wonderful voyages will interest
you"
Madam Talleyrapd did her best to
please her husband, and during dinner
devoted herself to the distinguished
guest, who was sadly puzzled by her
singular questions. The amiablc lady,
whose reading about travels and trav-
elers had been confined exclusively TO
"Robinson CrusOe," had conceived the
Idea that her guest was that hero, and
much to the astOnishment of the COM
pany, asked him Mt last ''hOw he had
left his faithful Friday"
Demon. although naturally embar
rassed for his hostess, was neverthe-
less so amazed that he could scarcely
hide his amusement.
The story Of Madam Talleyrand's
blunder was known all over Paris, and
became the subject Of great derision.
Even Talleyrands diplomacy could not
conceal his DAertification at this unpar
nlleled display Of ignorance.

As n matter of fact, the whole com
