The Physician's Hint

One day, Nine Meissonier, the wife
of the noted French artist, sent for the
family physician, and he hurried to
the house. thinking some illness had
overtaken the artist. 1t was not the
master of the house, however; it was
only the lap dog. The doctor pocketed
his pride and most sealously attended
the patient, who soon recovered. At
the end of the year he sent in his
bill, but among the items there was
none for attendance OF dog. Nine.
Meissonier noticed the omission. and
called the physicians attention to 1t.
You must charge for that, also, said
She Il insist upon It." by no means"
was the reply. Il am not veterinary
surgeon. 1 was very glad to do the
dog a service, but really l can't be
paid for It," But insist upon 1t,
said the lady. well them" returned
the doctor, "as the hinges Of my gate
are somewhat rusty, M. Meissonier
may bring his brush and paint them
for me-" But a. every grain OF paint
from Meissonier's brush was worth
more than its weight in gold. the hint
was probably not taken.

Does Electricity KIN Trees9

New Haven Comm Special to Phil
adelphia Inquirer: Indignant citizens
who desire to save the noble elms that
are the pride of New Haven have
threatened to bring suit against the
trolley car companies of the city for
alleged damages to the trees The as
sertion is made that the trolley wires
charged with electricity are in some
streets held in place by connecting
wires fastened to the trees. and that
charges of electric fluid are sent into
the trees. which are thus killed. The
trolley companies have sought to stave
off damage suits by an offer to test
the scientific correctness of these as
sertions. Permission has been obtained
from the department OF public works
and police supervision assured for the
interesting experiment within the
week of charging the big tree in front
of City Hall with the full voltage of
the trolley system. If the tree dies
a score of suits will be filed by prop
erty owners, who have been compelled
to cut down trees. some Of them $50
years old since the trolley ran through
the avenues.

Smoothing the Way.

The Duke of Cambridge is a brave
soldier and kind-hearted gentleman.
but he is not scholar. He has been
rec ntly in Rome. and one of is ex-
periences there is told in the ] london
Chronicle as specially characteristic OF
all persons concerned. On the occasion
of a visit to the Vatican. the duke,
hearing from a friend that it was
proper to talk Latin there, rather nerv-
ously brushed up few phases and
passwords. The Vatican, on its part
hearing that the duke spoke nothing
but English, was equally punctilious.
All guards who could speak English
were ordered to the front The cham
berlains of English nationality or
speech were required to attend, and
the pope himself practiced the English
sentences he had learned from an Eng
lish resident in Brussels fifty years
ago. The gallant duke, when he ar
rived at the outer portals OF the Vati-
can, was addressed by guard. who
said, This way, your Royal High
ness" The duke started with relief
he was rid, for a moment. of his
Latin. The same experience met him
at each turn, and in the ante-rooms 1t
was repeated. Reaching at last the
doors of the pope's private apartment,
the duke was met by monsignor,
whose mother was English and whose
own accent is native. who offered to
take His Royal Highness hat Pres
emily the pope, evidently priding him
self on the vernacular. asked his Wis
itor to seat down. We'll, I'll be
hanged" blurted out the astounded
duke.-Youths' Companion.
