nothing ever happened to put US
apart upon public questions or in

Mr.. Bland was a singularly up
right man in all that he did and
said, both with those who were upon
his side and those who opposed him
His disposition was to hold back

the fight that he might beth give

OF his treatment Of his enemies, for
he did not cherish enmity. The
foes with whom re reckoned were
the enemies of the people, as it ap.

seasons, he said, "but in cold weather,
with no excuse for wash skirts, it was
cruel to ask that poor, Woodworking
girl to slave and toll over their wash

One day the paterfamilias, happening
to pass through the laundry, tore up
stairs, white with rage. to where his
daughters We're. "Well, girls" he
cried, this is too much. White petit
coats in winter are bad enough. but

The daughters investigated. Since
the last paternal outburst they had
given up white petticoats, either ruffied
or plain, and in either spring, summer,
autumn or winter. 1t was as they fear

his generals to submit to him plans of
campaign for a supposititious case. Hans
Joachim Won Ziethen the famous cav

lines, whose four terminals ended each
in a smaller blot. The king was furi-

"Why, your majesty, am the large

march upon me from the right or left,
from the front or rear. If he does, |
simply advance upon any of the four
lines and lick him where find him."
Frederick was satisfied.

"When was a medical student in
the University of Pennsylvania, " said
the doctor, 1.-THE boys celebrated an in

one of the professors in a unique way.
The news that the favorite professor
was happy father reached the students
on Thursday morning, and that after
noon and evening there were consulta-
tions held all over the university build
ings, and sundry dimes and quarters
were collected by two or three of the
students, who constituted a sort of

students in the amphitheater. The sub

Relation of the Sympathetic Nervous

time set for the lecture every man in
the class, which numbered about $50,
was in his place waiting for the fun to
begin and glancing now and then to-

promptly at 10 o'clock the door
opened and the favorite professor enter

the door behind him, then with self
conscious clearing of his throat turned
toward the class. At the first glance his
jaw fell. while every one of the $50
fiends in the seats above began to yell
at the top of his lungs. Spread out upon
the three long operating tables We're

were rattles by the dozen, Noah's arks,
dolls of all sizes, toy cooking stove,
baby carriage, an embroidered flannel
petticoat, nursing bottle lying in a
graduated glass, a pair of little blue kid
shoes and other things too numerous to
mention. After the first shock of sur
prise and embarrassment, the professor
was game. He thanked us, in a speech
peppered with five syllabled words, for
our thoughtfulness in thus providing
for the future needs of his offspring,
but he observed, after careful exami-

attention was drawn to the blackboard.
