II ii were to be considered which
branch of the fine arts 10 the most use
full to man, it would probably be found
that he could most easily dispense with
sculpture, and especially that branch
OF the art which portrays human and
animal figures. 1t is not too much tO
say that, saving, perhaps. q score Of
masterpieces, every human and eques.I
trian statue in the world might be dee
stroyed at q very small cost to the aes-
thetic sentiments Of humanity. Sculp-
ture lacks color, warmth and life. n
is luxury Of the rich as far - the
adornment Of the home Is concerned,
and it's public examples rarely afford
satisfaction to any but the amateur.
It has, therefore, very little interest
for the vast majority Of mankind. The
idols Of idolatrous peoples must Be ex-
cepted, but here the interest Is NOT
artistic bnt religious. In the extended
sense of the term, sculpture could be
less easily dispensed with. because il
would mean the abolition Of alfadorn-

EXTREMELY POLITE
Rarely Exhibited in This
Country.

Many of us have heard of that polite
Partisan cocher-driver-wh during
. long afternoon in which he drove an
American lady about the gay capital to
see the sights, responded qrite un-
ruffled and without as much as mus
Gle twitching, to her constantly re-
peated orders to cochon-pig-to drive
her here or there. Indeed, foreigners
receive our mistakes in their language
much more courteously than we re-
ceive theirs in ours. Two ladies in Italy,
we are told by correspondent of the
Companion, had this fact recently
''borne in upon them,' as the Friends
say, with especial directness.
In the morning their Italian teacher
made slip in her English, and in reply
to an inquiry concerning the oddly
twinkling fire embers in her little brass
stove, informed them that the fuel she
employed was "small wigs $
!; They laughed heartily at the mis-
take, and presently the lady herself
corrected it to twigs, and was amiable
enough to laugh also. But that same
day they went to see the homeless cats
of the city fed in the cloister of San
Gallo, and were not sure that they had
come at the right time. One of them
turned to the custode and inquired in
Italian, as she supposed: "When will
the cats eat?''' but what was really
asked was:
'When shall we eat the cats?'' 8.
'There is no systematic hour, sig
norina," he replied to this surprising
query, in a manner as politely matter
of-course. as if it were quite the Gus
tom there to serve kittens on toast to
foreign ladies! Not flicker. Of ex-
preston showed that he perceived the
mistake.
Such a steady countenance under
such circumstances, they agreed when
they discovered it themselves, was a
feat of courtesy very rarely exhibited
by an American.-Youth's Companion,

A CATS TREAcHERY.
Thomas Made Friends with His
Natural Enemy and Then
g8f, Dev0ured Him. s4A

A family leaving town for. the sum-
mcr left behind one Thomas, big cat,
who had reputation throughout the
street in which he lived rs q fighter
and q ratter.
j Provision was made for Thomas sub
sistence during the summer. with the
mi1kman, who each morning poured
into dish inside the area some milk.
Thomas, while vicious enough. to
other than intimate acquaintances,
was while at home Of q sociable DISPOSE
tion. Personally he missed a great deal
the family and the pet pug. with whom
he was on the best of terms.
At any rate on the family's return
the members were surprised when the
servant hurried upstairs and tod
them Tom was playing in a most friend
" manner in the area with an immense
rat. ~.
Everybody tiptoed down to look.
Sure enough Tom had made new
friend. His love of society had over
come his natural instinct, and he was
drinking his breakfast while the rat
was jumping around the saucer in the
most unconcerned manner.
But alas for the rats confidence in
feline nature! For few days allwent
well between the strange friends. They
were often seen together and were
always apparently on the best Of terms
One morning, however. Bridget coming
downstairs found the rats headless
body. Thomas whiskers were stained
with blood. s
Either the whilom friends had quar-
relied, or. relieved by the return OF tn,
family from the necessity Of taking NJ
with any acquaintance he could make
Thomas had decided to give up hi
friendship. Aud with that decisio,
| probably his normal instincts had re
sumcd their sway.G Golden Days.

WANTED TO MARRY HER.
4 Discharged Hospital PatIeal
Writes His Nurse an Unusual
4 Love Letter.

OTcu, lnlclllSent anu earnest young
women are going into trained nursing
than into any other business
to which the, sex has turned it's atten.
ton. It would be mean and also untrue
to even intimate that they were taking
up nursing in the hope of getting hus-
band. AS mattar of fact, many OF
them take up the work for the very rea-
son that they wish to walk softly" all
the rest of their lives. And yet, curious
ly enough, no class Of women receive so
many proposals Of marriage. There are
several reasons for this. In the first
place, many Of these nurses are attrac.
tive enough to please any man, no mat.
ter how fastidious in the matter Of re-
fnement, education and physical beau.
ty. Then, too, the nurses costume il,
the perfection of neatness and cleanli.
ness, and much more becoming to many
women than their ordinary dress. But
the secret probably lies in the circum.
stances. We all know that propinquity
has much to answer for, and it is espe-
cially powerful at q time when man in.
stinctiyely yearns for sympathy and
tenderness.
To many sick man his kindly, light.
footed, good-looking nurse, in her spot
less costume, is no doubt a revelation.
To others, for thousand and one rea-
sons, she may appear veritable angel.
Here is case in point. A young wild
over from the country was ina Chicago
hospital. He was rough, uneducated
and uncouth, but he was genuine after
his kind. He fell violently in love with
his nurse, and, though he said nothing
to her except with his eyes and prob
ably resolved never to break his silence,
week after he was discharged he wrote
her this letter: @
dear miss-i sot down to tell you that i've

. An English physician claims to hase
discovered new and efficacioNx cure
for persons afflicted with nervous Or
mental maladies. If such persons hes
says, can only procure pleasant dreams
they will soon regain their health, and
his aim is. therefore, to fNrnish them
with delightful dreams.
For this purpose he uses q soft
leather cap, which covers the patient's
head and ears and leaves only the face
uncovered. Beside the ears are placed
two metal plates, which are Joined bys
a rubber tube to Q phonograph. The.
patient rests on divan in dark room,
and in front of him is sort Of mAgic
lantern, from which are projected at
brief intervals various enjoyable pic
lures. In this way, il is claimed. The
eyes of the sick person are deli i&hted,s !
while at the same time his ears are
soothed by the vibrations of the phono-
graph. .ssE .sss
Az result, WEAKNESS comeA upon
him, and is soon followed by slumber,,
and it is while he is dozing IN this man-
Incr that happy dreams are evoked,
thanks to the phonograph and the
stereopticon. After this light slumher
comes deep sleep, which, we are fas-i
sured, is always most beneficial.
Several tests of this kind have been.
made with success, and it is~ rid that
not only are tired nerves reffealaed by,
this method, but that the patients body
also rapidly increases in weight. That
pleasant sounds and sights are sooth.

for q long time, but that pleasant
dreams have tendency to make per-

HE MUST LIVE.
\ Patient Who Was bound to Last
Long Enough to Draw His
sE Pension.

It would be in vain to attempt to
describe the sympathy for the poor and
suffering which William Stokes could
throw into his voice, says his biogra-
pher. One of the stories he used to tell
is of peculiar interest, not only for its
revelation of human kindness, but as a
proof of the power of the will in pro-
longing life. -
: An old pensioner was patient of
Stokes in the Meath hospital. His life
was despaired Of, and in fact his death
was hourly expected. One morning.
having the patients to. care for, and
believing that the pensioner was un-
conscious and past help, DIR. Stokes
passed his bed without stopping. The
patient was greatly distressed and cried
out: - y
.Don't pass me by, docther; you
must keep me alive for four days."
..We will keep you as long as we can,
my poor fellow answered Stokes;
.sbut why for four days particularly ?'
q Because" was the reply, "my pen
sion will be due then, and want the
money for my wife and children, Don't
give me anything to make me sleep, for
if I sleep I shall die.'
On the third day after this, to the
amazement of Stokes and the others,
the patient was still breathing. On
the morning of the fourth day he was
alive and conscious, and on entering
the ward, Stokes saw him holding in
his hand the certificate which required
signature. As the doctor drew near the
dying man gasped:
"sign, sign!" Il
The doctor quickly complied, and the
man sank back exhausted, and within
few minutes crossed his hands over
his breast and said: The Lord have
mercy on my SOUL" and quietly
breathed his last.-Youth's Companion
