Patience and Practice

A clever young physician here, who,
like so many of his brethren every
where, has had weary time trying to
build UP practice. nevertheless meets
his hard fortune with smiling gayety.
Like Warren Hastings, his motto is
"Nitor in adversum." In company with
a friend, he had occasion the other day
to go into the Hibernia bank. where.
owing to the throng OF customers. he
could not get his business transacted
at once. After considerable delay, his

the idea that If properly arranged and

Wear Mem. Gloves.

The latest masculine wrinkle which
girls affect Is masculine gloves. not
gloves made In mannish style and
fitting the feminine hand, hit gloves
that are cut on masculine lines, de-
signed for masculine wearing. and but
toned with the single button that holds
together the abbreviated kid wrist. This
gloves are short and square and made
OF heavy dogskin and stitched marked
ly In white. The fingers are big and
clumsy. and the entire glove Is almost
twice the size which the girl ordina-
rily affects. The bigger the glove the
more stylish the result. The mascu-
line glove is entirely in keeping with
the stubby, ugly masculine shoe.

accession as he had lived before, shut

from Munich. OF late years his malady
has taken the form OF stupor, though
there are still occasional outbreaks OF
violence. There has never been any
hope for his recovery. and It is really
a lamentable fact that his physical
health is excellent. He occupies n
suite OF rooms on tho ground OF the
palace. the doors being always left
open during the daytime. as closed
doors and windows excite his rage.
Once he broke all the front windows
OF his apartments and since then the
glass has been protected by wire. Moth

Turkers Ire nk od Ny Dogs.

The wild turkey in the 0zarks is now hunted with 2 slow tracking dog, and whole focks are often killed in this way. Till the trained dog was en- ployed to follow ur the wary bird this game fowl could beGle the most skill. ful hunter Now when a flock of tur- keys is found the sportsman has little difficulty. A good dog will follow a turkey track that is three or four hours old, and set the birds when overtaken, just as the pointec does the quail. After the turkey had been chased awhile it hides in tree or under q log. and stays there until the hunter, guided by his dog, comes within close range
 It IS astonishing what fine instinct a good turkey dog will develop after 3 few months of training in the woods. He will follow aeck of turkeys for hours just ahead of the hunter. and in dicate by unmistaTahIe signs when the game is near. Aft;r T turkey has re- ceivea a fatal shot may fy for a half a mile CT more. ; trained dog will go straight to q wounded or dead turkey with the same precision with waich he tracks the game.

Curious Fishing.

The natives of Kottiar are in the habit of digging every year, in the summer the dry banks of the Vergel river for fish, which they dig out by hundreds, just as they would potatoes The mud Jumps are broken open and the fish, perhaps eight or ten inches long, will always be found alive, and often frisky, as if just removed from its supposedly native element t-the water. Tn the dry bed Of several Affi- can rivers q similar practice is often pursued. 4 kind of mud fish buries itself whilst the bottom is still moist, and remains there all the summer, waking up when the rains commence again.
