A Statue In Prison.

A certain noted artist long ago, hav-
ing made a faithful bust of a sitter,
found his work declined on account Of
its ugliness, the subject refusing to be.
lieve it was a good likeness.
every WELL" said the artist. "You
deny the likeness and refuse to take the
bust, and I accept the excuse"
He accordingly set up the bust in hi.
studio, surrounded by a small, card pa
per prison, gloomily painted over, on
which was inscribed, ':For Debt" The
portrait was so unmistakable that
everybody in town recognized it and
focked to the artists studio to enjoy
his ingenious revenge. Soon the subject
came. passionately complaining of the
ridicule to which he had been subjected.
"You, sir p said the sculptor. "Whc
knows this ugly bust to be yours? There
is no name upon it, and you have ut
terly denied it's resemblance. It is my
work, and I have a right to do as I will
with it."
"Oh, but I will pay you the price
and take it awayl"
"But it has become so valuable to me
by attracting the public that I cannot
part with it for less than twice my
original charge"
Swell, I will take it at that price"
And 80 the sculptor's debtor got himself
out Of prison. New York Times.

The Test of Perseverance.

Many girls are employed at the West
ern Union Telegraph company's main
office in filing dispatches and other
work requiring no great skill. Now,
although they get only the current
wages of workers in such employments,
there are always many applicants for
every vacancy. In view of this fact the
company has adopted an interesting
method of dealing with applications.
Every girl applying is questioned as to
her age, education and residence. Fur
thermore, her height is taken. The facts
as to the applicant r then filed for fu-
ture reference, and she is advised in
case she is really anxious for a place to
return at the end Of four months should
she not hear from the company before
that time. The reason for this advice
is that the list of applications is de-
stroyed every four months.
Many applicants never come a second
time. Some, however, come q second, q
third or ven a fourth time, and, al
though the officers Of the company hold
out no special hope to any applicant,
they do say that here, as elsewhere,
perseverance often succeeds. The re-
quirement that the applicant shall ap-
pear in person each time is an ingen-
ious ear of wedding out those appli-
cants that lack the perseverance, which,
other things being equal, is likely to
make a girl more useful to the COM
pany than a girl with less of that quail

Climate and CONSUMPTION,

am in favor of treating t%uberculous
patients near their homes and in the
same or nearly the same climate as that
in which they will have to live and
work after their restoration to health.
My reasons for advocating such princi-
pies are founded on the experiences of
all modern phthisio-therapeutists, who
have demonstrated that the hygienic
and dietetic treatment in special sani-
tariums is feasible and successful in
nearly all climates.
l know from personal observation
that cures of pulmonary tuberculosis
effected in n ordinary home climates,
which are IN the average not considered
as especially favorable to this class Of
sufferers, have been more lasting and
more assured than cures obtained in
more genial climes.
And, with all due Difference to the
opinions of others, I do not believe
there exists any climate which has a
special curative quality for any form Of
pulmonary tuberculosis. Climate can
only be considered as a more or less
valuable adjuvant in the treatment Of
consumption, but not a specific. IS. A.
