A sSuIly'a Lesson.

A member of the Louisville bar
named Simmondson was in the habit
of intimidating the opposing wit
nesses, whom, when they came to be
crcss-examined, he harassed in every
imaginable manner. The last witness
he took in hand was tall, lank
farmer, with thoughtful eye. He
had watched the batting of his neigh
bors in dead silence, and took the
stand with perfect composure. Sim"
mondson evidently set him down as q
lout, and when the witness hesitated
over some question a moment he
roared: "What are y studying about?
'Fraid of telling lie, too, suppose?"
Without any apparent haste the
countryman picked up massive ink
stand and hurled 1t straight at Sim
mondson's head, catching him on the
bridge of the nose and knocking him
senseless. "That's what I was
a-studyin' about" he drawled, in the
moment of dead silence that followed
the act. Needless to say, tremendous
hubbub ensued, but everybody was
secretly pleased, and while the judge
fined the farmer heavily for contempt,
he subsequently remitted the SEN

HOW DOCTORS EARN BIG FEES.


One who Got $4,000 for Saving q Patients
Life by Giving Him a Good Dinner.
The doctor and some of the report.
ers were talking in the little room OPP

Bellevue hospital.

tor. mentioning the story OF large
bill reported to have been sent in by
q surgeon of the city, ''that this doc.
tor didn't feel satisfied with $4,000.
He thought he ought to have $4,000.
That's a rather fine distinction, per
haps, but it all depends on the sort OF
case which the surgeon treated. A
man with his skill and his standing
can charge almost anything he
pleases.
1.-THE way in which some physicians
earn large fees is curious. recall
one case of the sort-or at least
story of a case, for won't vouch for
The truth of it all. A man had been
suffering for some time with gastritis
and had been treated for more than
year by several physicians. The usual
treatment is to put the patient on a
milk diet. That usually does the
work, but this man kept growing
worse. He finally summoned DR.. b.,
one of the best known physicians in
the city. When DR.. B. learned the
history of the case he took one long
look at the man 8 face AMI reached for
his hat.
"'I need time to think this over,
he said. You meet me tomorrow at
Delmonico's and I'll prescribe treat
ment of some sort for you.'
''The patient appeared at the time
the doctor had set.
Come in and sit down. said the
physician. Il can talk to you while
1 am eating my dinner.
''Then the physician said something
in a low tone and when the waiter
came back he brought two orders of
oysters The patient looked sur
prised.
"'Now, said the doctor, you just
fall to and eat good meal. That's
all you want
cit turned out that the doctor was
right. The man who had been nearly
dead was soon in good health. Then
the physician sent in his bill. 1t was
for $4,000. When the man received it
he hurried around to the doctors Of

by thunder, said the man. DO
you think I'm made of money. 1 can
pay it all right, but now, honestly, doc.
tor, don't you think it's pretty larger
"'No, replied the physician. Your
life is worth more than $4,000, isn't
it? Well L saved your life. I can't
see that I'm asking too much.

The Dodger Nuisance.

The local newspapers are appre.
ciated and read in most of the families
to which they are sent, while the hand
bills which are pushed under every
door are read by very few. AS an
advertising medium these dodgers
are simply waste of paper and ink.
The housemaid's broom brushes them
out of the vestibule on to the side
walk, and the wind does the rest.
Timid horses are frightened, side
walks and streets are Uttered, and all
to no practical purpose. The ordi-
nance designed to prevent the whole
sale distribution of these flying leaf
lets is very proper one, and public

singular Appearance. Of Fish In Samoa.

singular Appearance Of Fish In Samoa.
One strange feature of this sea life
of the tropics is the regular recur-
renee of migratory swarms OF fish of
very small size, that return in huge
numbers year after year with such alb
solute regularity that the natives CAL
culate on the event on q certain day
in each year, and even within an
honr or two Of the day. One such
swarm of fish forms the occasion of
an annual holiday and feast at Sa-
moa. The fish is not unlike the
whitebait for which the English
Thames has so long been celebrated,
and each year it arrives at Samoa on
the same day in the month of October,
remains for day, or at the most two
days, and then disappears entirely
till the same day of the following
year. Why it comes, or whence, no
curious naturalist has yet discovered,
nor has anybody traced it's onward
course when it leaves the Samoan
group; but the fact is unquestionable
that suddenly, without notice, the still
waters of the lagoon which surrounds
each island within the fringing reef
become alive with millions of fishes,
passing through them for single day
and night, and them disappearing for
q year as though they had never
come.
A visit to Samoa enabled me to see
this strange phenomenon for myself,
and to witness the native feasts by
which it is celebrated year by year.

while rain or snow is drifting down

The house. 1t is good plan to poke
a broom or brush with very long han

will be little danger of its doing any
damage. The chimney ought to be
made smooth inside. SO that the SCOT

Feeding sitting Hens.

One of the reasons why it is hard
to make hens sit regularly in winter
is found in feeding them too often.
A hen called off from her nest three
or four times day is likely to make
some ventures of her own to get food
or drink. Until the hen is thorough
ly set on sitting. she should be fed
only once day, and that early in the
morning. If 1t is in close room,
where she cannot get out, the hen
will go back to the nest again and sit
contentedly She takes no exercise
and needs only food enough to sus-
tain life and heat.

geography aud Marriage.

1t is said q certain statistician states
that geographical distance is the rea-
son SO many men remain bachelors.
He says that the United States has
9, 200, 900 more unmarried men over
20 years of age than there are unmar-
ried women, SO that vast host OF
Americans must inevitably remain
bachelors. Women in England and
Canada are now considering the
ways and means of educating
women, not necessarily as wives, but
as competent helpmates to pioneers.
Thus wives, daughters and sisters
may all he able to take their places as
companions and helpmates to pioneers
in a new country. This idea is I'M
doubtedly good one, but it does not
get over the difficulties of the mar
riage question, for the English girl
who goes with her brother to settle
in some remote part OF Australia or
South Africa stands as much chance
of living and dying spinster as if
she had remained at home, where the
preponderance OF women over men
makes the problem of what to do with
the girls even harder one than what
is to be done with their brothers. In
the United States women are in an ex
actly opposite situation, inasmuch as
they are fewer than the men. In parts
of the east, however, women are
greatly in p"eponderance, as the men
have gone west to better their pros
poets.
