When the eminent English advocate,
Sir Frank Lockwood, was a young
man, he was retained to defend a ruff
fan accused of a desperate crime.
There seemed little hope of saving the
prisoner, and Lockwood said to him:
Take my advice and plead guilty and
save the old man trouble. It's your
only chance of getting a light rem
tence." The prisoner looked him up
and down, and leaning over the bar of
the dock, said: you fuzzle-headed
beggar, what do you suppose l pay you
for? For me to do your work that you
can't do? Go back to your seat and
do what you're paid for!" Lockwood
went back and got the man acquitted.

Statistics show that the medical pro-
fession is more prone to suicide than
any other. During the last three years
the number of suicides occurring among
physici2ns In the United Kingdom has
been, respectively, 40, 40 and Al per
annum, an average of nearly one to
1000 or, as the death rate among ply
sicians. is about % to 1000, nearly
one-fftieth of all the deaths in the
profession have been by suicide.
1t has been suggested that an ex-
plantation of this tendency may be
found in the development of morbid
fancies in the mind Of a doctor, on ac-
count of his constant association with
the sick and dying, or because he has
the requisite knowledge of how to die
painlessly and conveniently.
medical journal desserts from all
these views, and holds that the leading
factor in the accessibility of the poison
drugs, which are almost invariably
used.
Suicide is largely a matter Of insane
impulse. Imagine a man fatigued in
body and depressed In splrlts-as a
doctor often is-swayed by an over
whelming conviction of theutter weari-
ness of life to the impulse of suicide.
If he had but to put on his hat and
walk to the chemists and tax his in
genuity for lie with which to explain
his desire for poison, he might post
pone the fatal act from mere inertia or
may meet friend or have his interest
in life aroused by one of a multitude OF
everyday occurances, or physical exer-
else may bring him to Ills senses
If, however, as is the case with al
most any doctor, he has simply to feel
in his pockets, or walk across his room
to get deadly poison the impulse may
be carried into execution before any
thing can happen to supplant It in
the brain

spoke for Twenty-sIx Hours.

The longest speech on record was
made by Mr.. de Cosmos in the legis-
lature of British Columbia when a
measure was pending to confiscate the
lands of settlers. He was in a hope
less minority, and the enemy expect
ed to rush the bill through at the end
of the session. 1t was 10 in the morn
ing; at noon the next day, if no action
were taken, the act of confiscation
would fail. De Cosmos arose, spoke
for twenty-six hours continuously, and
then with baked lips, bloodshot eyes,
and almost dead with fatigue, he won
the victory that nearly cost him his
life

The Country Postmaster.

A new postoffice was established in
a small village away out West, and
a native of the soil was appointed
postmaster. After a while complaints
were made that no mail was sent out
from the new Office, and an inspector
was sent to inquire into the matter. He
called upon the postmaster, and stat
ing the cause of his visit, asked why
no mail had been sent out. The post
master pointed to a big and nearly
empty mail bag hanging up in corner
and said: well, l amt sent 1t out

son, who are both slim or they would not fit into the space two feet wide Tn front of this seat is the roll Of blankets and tent upon which MT. Blandy sits to drive his six dogs. Un- der the seat telescope basket of clothes is carried and odd articles of all kinds are tucked into odd corners and crevfces.
 The Blandys always leave towns amid a roar of cheers and laughter. When they are about to start, MT. Blandy walks among his dogs, and stooping down, adjusts all their feet so as to prevent the entanglement of limbs in harness, quickly steps into the low wagon. seats himself on the bedding and tent, and, with lines in hand, he calls to the dogs, and they are off.
 There is nothing slow about these dogs-they trot off at good gait, rais- ing a big dust, and never walking ex- cent when climbing hills. When asked if he ever walks, MT. Blandy replied, ''Tt would take a professional runner to keep up with my dogs, but per- hans he finds the speed up hill some times convenient for his own walking and his dogs pulling. At any rate, all tha wonder stricken villagers give the RIandys a screaming send-off when they are favored with visit.

ward White Benson, late Archbishop of Canterbury, and widow of Count Louveau de Chavanne, who departed this life some six years since, after re- ducing to zero the comfortable fortune which she brought him at marriage. The Countess is a widow now and is paying a visit to San Francisco.
 A native of Brooklyn, New York, Ouirda Benson went to Paris when a child under the care of Mrs. Terrence, Commodore Vanderbilts daughter She was educated in one of the most ex- elusive schools of that city. Soon after her graduation she was married into the French nobility. Her experiences as the wife of this French nobleman with a talent for squandering money were such as to inspire her to write a book which is designed to be warning to her American sisters.
 The spirit of practical philanthropy which earned for her in France the decoration of the Fraternal Society of Retired Veterans of the Legion of Honor, bestowed upon her by President Henriot Berthier, Mayor of Neuilly, an- imates the American Countess still, and nearly every day has found her in at tendance at the hospital tents of Camp MeTTlCI, where lIlG SlCh SOlQteIS nave | learned to look eagerly for her coming
 The visit of la Comtesse to the coast is intended as a vacation from her lit erary work, and 1t is consequently a trif1e difficult to induce her to talk shop" Once persuaded, however, she gives the fortunate listener panoramic glimpSeS of certain phases of Conti
 mental life which are particularly in teresting because of the fact that she speaks not of what she thinks and sur mises, but of what she knows.
 When new Americans arrive in Paris" says the Countess, their names. places of residence on this side and their Parisan address are at once published in the American Register, newspaper which has very large local circulation, for reasons which you can readily see. These names and partic- ulars are easily obtained at the bank ing houses, where new corners general ly report themselves at once, and are invaluable to the class of people who make a speciality of being attentive, for a consideration, to wealthy and social ly ambitious strangers.
 Interpreters and guides flock to the recent arrivals, proffer their services and if engaged manage to learn every thing possible concerning their em- ployer's circumstances, home standing and society aspirations.
 This information has a distinct money value and Is made the most of, but some of the titled society mongers disdain such sources of knowledge and prefer to form their opinions and plan their campaigns from personal observa- ton and the prudent inquiries of their own servitors. These ladies and gen. tlemen frequent such places as the beautiful court and approaches to the Grand Hotel recognized fashionable rendezvous, and make acquaintance with the right kind of people for their purpose with consummate art and skill.

 through the snow to a safe, warm place and horses would give out on you. And didn't we travel 210 miles on the rail- road? Horses couldn't walk ties and carry you over long trestles mile and thFee-quarters in length as our dogs did! l wouldn't take fifty horses for one of our dogs. Would I, Bruce?" and she patted great shaggy, yellow dog on the head. And, indeed, they are regular Klon- dikers, these cross-bred Newfoundland and St Bernard dogs, and they would have taken trip to the icy north if the Blandys had not changed their minds and decided to remain in Cali fornia for time.
 :. Neither the little wagon six feet long and two feet wide in the wagon bed, nor the well-kept dogs, which could not be bought at any price from their owners, nor the cheerful faces and manners of the Blandy family give evidence of the long, tedious travel they have had.

They always sleep under the stars, unless compelled by the weather to raise a tent Mrs. Blandy thinks that she would suffocate if she had to sleep in house again She Is a young woman, the picture of health and contentment, badly sunburned, but with handsome blue eyes, an intel ligent and interesting face, and strong personal magnetism.
 They seem brimming over with their travels, anxious to relate their eXperi- ences, and proud of the success they have met thus far. In cities they earn as much as $5 a day, and while in some of the Northern towns their income was $160 a month from advertising alone.
 They made the distance from Man hatta on the eastern side of the Rock ies, to Butte on the western Side-S6 miles-in two days. The road here is steep but exceptionally broad and well built. Three stages cross in twenty four hours and people think nothing of going from one town to the other in a single day. The Rockies in this sec tion of country are not at all as people think they are.
 The plans of MT. and Mrs. Blandy are very extravagant. They expect to spend year or two in California, re- turn to the East by a new route. travel through Massachusetts, Ohio and other States, where their relatives live and in the dim, dim future they look for a voyage across the ocean, and journey through Europe with the dog team.

THE MAN WHO COOKS THE GRUB

We have read In song and story
 Of .'the man behind the gun,' He Is given all the glory
 Of the battles that are won; They are filling up the papers
 With his apotheosis, And they tell about his caperS
 While the shells above him hiss, But behind the grimy gunner,
 Steadfast through the wild hubbub, Stands greater god of battles
 Iris the man who cooks the grub. When the sky is rent with thunder ', And the shell screams through the air When some fort is rent asunder
 And Destruction revels there, When the men in line go rushing
 On to glory or to woe With the maddened charges crushing
 Heroes who are lying low, There is one but for whose laborS
 There could be no wild hubbub, And the greatest god of battles
 Is the man who cooks the grub. What of ships with armor plating
 What of castles on the heights? What of anxious captains waiting
 While the careful gunner sights? What of all the long-range rifles?
 What of men with valiant hearts? These were but impotent trff1es,
 But inconsequential parts Of the whole, without the fellow
 Who must SCOUT. scrape and scrub For the greatest god of battles
 Is the, man who cooks the grub.

 Warts can be transferred from one to another by the following methods, among others:
 Put into a red calico bag hearts" from grains of corn; run down the road; throw away the bag, not look ing where it falls; run home again, and if any one picks up the bag your warts will go away.
 Rub the warts with seven pebbles; wrap the pebbles in paper and throw them away; if the parcel Is picked up the warts will go away.
 If you see any one asleep in church say to yourself, When you awake take these warts.
 If you have a wart and see man riding on horseback in the rain, or, as another version runs riding on gray horse. say, Take these along" rub the wart and it will leave you.
 At Delphos, Kans., lives a young man who gallantly procured his sweetheart's warts by purchase.
 Steal a dishcloth, rub the. Wart with it and then bury the cloth under the caves of the house. If you tell no one and no one finds out your theft your Wart will go away.
 Write on the stove with a piece of chalk the number of your warts. When the number has burned off the stove your warts will be gone.
 In order to cure the toothache cut your finger nails on Friday. Another sure cure is to wash behind your ears every morning.
 The skin of an eel, if worn about the leg, will cure rheumatism.
 Carry a potato in one's pocket to cure rheumatism.
 The skin of black cat worn in ones clothing will cure rheumatism.

not only Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, she is also Empress of India, reigning over more Moslems than the Grand Turk, and more Africans and Asiatics than any other civilized mon arch. Abdication would be misunder- stood by some and resented by all of them: Death they know; living ruler they understand. What is abdication to the border tribes of the Hindoo- Koosh, to the lake-dwelle- of Nyassa- land Uganda, or the fierce tribesmen of the Soudan? From an imperial stand point a scepter dropped from the hand of the Great White Queen can be borne aloft in her lifetime by no sue cessor. In many parts of the world the British raj Is personified in the little lady who, sixty years ago, said to those who told her that she was a Queen, "I will be good" In some parts of India she is actually worshiped as a goddess In her lifetime the native races of the empire will either look to their Queen as the ruler or they will assume that something has happened that saps and neutralizes British power. These imperial considerations as to the effect on Asiatics and Africans were also in the minds of the Min isters when they unanimously re- fused to advise the Queen to rest from the crushing burden of the crown. From "If the Queen Had Abdicated," :" in Harpers' Magazine.
