TOGETHER IN DEATH.

A dispatch from Scotland Neck, N.
c., says; There was rather a strange
occurrence a few days ago in the death
of Mr.. W. H. Hackney and wife, who
lived across the line in Edgecombe.
Mrs. Hackney, who had been in poor
health for some time, was at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Jones. Mr.
Hackney was at the home of another
daughter, Mrs. Hicks. Mrs. Hackney
died suddenly, and when a message
was sent Mr.. Hackney started with
his son-in-lay, Mr.. Hicks, to the scene
of his wife's death. Before they had
gone far Mr.. Hicks discovered that Mr..
Hackney was i'll. He turned back
with him, but before he reached home
Mr.. Hackney had died in the buggy.
All arrangements were made and the
dead mans body was carried over to
his daughters home, where his wife
had died few hours before, and the
man and wife were buried in one
grave. They were old. Mr.. Hackney
had been a successful farmer for the
most of his life and had said that he
did not wish to live after his wife
should die.

Woes of Nurse With the American
Army in Cuba.

An army nurse, but lately returned
from Cuba to Washington, declares
that never again will she go to q
country whose language she cannot
understand. 1t was before hostilities
had come to a definite end that she
was startled one day by the unexpected
visit OF her Cuban laun1ress. The
woman was intensely excited Anxi-

in her eyes. She gesticulated and she
talked. The nurse knew not word
of what she said, but the pantomime
filled her with terror. The Cuban'S
hands seemed to speak of an attack
on the hospital-of wounded men
butchered and nurses cut to ribbons.
The nurse was frantic. She must
know the worst. In the hospital was
an officer very i'll with typhoid fever.
She knew he understood Spanish. On

she disturb him, but this was obvious

the Cuban woman to the bedside, and

PATIENT NOT JUDGE.

A San Francisco medical journal
reports legal case that was recently
tried at Tacoma. Wash, in which the
question as to the liability of patients
for the fees of consulting physicians.
The action was to collect a consulta-
ton fee of $50 by DR.. McKone from a
patient named Cole. The defense was
that the plaintiff never employed DR..
Mckone. but that the latter was called
in without consulting him by the
family physician. DR.. Stratton. who
vas attending him for attack OF APP
pendicitis at the time, and for this rea-
son the attending physician was re-
sponsible for the bill.
The court held that in serious cases
the patient is not competent to Judge
of his own condition, and that the at
tending physician need not always in
form the patient of his intention to call
counsel, as the excitement pending
such consultation might be preiudi-
cial to the patients chances OF re-
coyery. A verdict was accordingly
entered for plaintiff.

in at the knees, with round thighs,

the leg OF a slave.
Except by grace of his natural mast
ers, slave he always has been and al
ways must be. He has the virtues Of
the slave and his vices-industry, fru-
gallty, quick initiative intelligence
and amazing verbal cleverness; dis
honesty, suspiciousness, lack of initia-

capacity for any sort of chivalry.
But his chief and marvellous trait is
his abundance. Calcutta and Ben

east side, the factory smoke, lying n
a sullen bank under the glowing
scarlet; on the west, the cornfield of
masts and the funnel smoke, and the
city smoke fouling the ineffable still
ness of Indian evening: free space
of blue overhead, so clear and soft
and pure that it seems no longer the.
canopy of the world, but the embosom-

gals crossing the bridge.
On one side going into Calcutta, on
the other coming out, an endless drove
of moving white-clothed people, never
varying in thickness, never varying in
pace, never sleeping, no interval, just
moving, moving, like an endless belt
running on awheel. Just population;
that is Bengal. Food for census, food
