Some Respects.

DR.. Adolf LOrenz. the Austrian sur
geon. returned to New York yesterday,
after a few days visit in Boston, where
he was the guest of the medical fra

terest. He went directly to the Murray
Hill hotel upon his arrival here, and
spent the greater part of the day in his
room, on account of the weather, going
out only at night for dinner at the house
of DR.. Wisner r. Townsend, 125 West
Fifty-eighth street, and for box party
at the Empire theater afterward-
Asked of his impressions of Boston,
DIR. Lorenz said that he thought it a
beautiful city, in some respects superior
to New York, although he added that
he still considered New York, all things
taken into consideration. the finest city
he had seen in this county.

said, with a number of their buildings

square in which it is situated. Harvard

also, in the brief time l was able to be
there and believe that the new Har-
ward medical school will be one of the
best of it's kind in the world. The thing,
however that most impressed me about
the city and its people was the intel

DR.. Lorenz was asked about his Eng
fish. which he speaks perfectly, and he
said that he had never spoken it be-
fore coming to America. He uses a
great many idioms. and upon being
asked how he acquired them Dr. Lorenz
said he had gotten them chiefly in the
theaters.

seeded raisins, one grated nutmeg, half

together and pack them in a stone jar,

Had Met His conqueror.

They told ne at Beebe's Corners of q
man who, they said, had killed dozens of
bears and wildcats and who was the
most coura8 eous man in all Tennessee.
That afternoon I reached his cabin as
journeyed along, and finding him sitting
on a log at the gate, | stopped for 4
chat l casually mentioned that 1 had
heard of his deeds of prowess and tried
to draw him out. but he shook his head
and replied:
Stranger, I jest took third wife to
my buslm about six weeks ago.
''WeI?"
WAL, I allus reckcned I had a power
full lot O. courage. but I've lately dfskiv-
cred it was all a mistake
But what can have happened to make
you think SOP
For answer he pointed toward the cabin
where he could see his wife standing in
the door. and I was about to say some
thing when shey lifted up her voice and
shouted:
''Yo' thar. Hank?"
Yves. Nancy" he answered as he
stood up.
WAL now. yo Jest hump yo'rself out
to the wood pile and split bout a cord
o wood or I'll tarn in and throw yo'
clean over the side of this ole mount

When the old hunter who had killed
scores of bears and rattlesnakes and
wildcats and looked upon pistols and
knives without losing his nerve skunk
for the wood pile without as much as a
backward glance, I knew why he doubted
his courage. He had found his boss at
last.

Frederick H. Grawert. who says he is

Grawert wound up a little spring in

He had a smaller model at hand, and
showed how it was operated in a bath

throat, was recently cured in a most
remarkable fashion. A tube was in

man could breathe, but symptoms Of
pneumonia appeared. So the doctors
placed a kettle of boiling water beside
the bed, q pipe from which conducted
hot yapor into the artificial windpipe.
so that as he breathe6 a steady Jet of
hot vapor passed into the injured mans
lungs. A tent was also placed over his
cot so that no chilling draft might play
upon him. This saved him from the
threatened pneumonia, and the man
was well again within three weeks.
