Sendinn for the Doctor.

When a child is sent to summon
physician, the experienced person
gives him written message to de-
liver at the door. 1t requires but a
few seconds to write the. note, and it
is safer and better to do so. Children
have been known to summon ply
stefan, who, upon arriving at the
house, found that it was a childish
Joke. Then again, timid child is
apt to stand around the door, not
daring to go inside, if he is obliged
to speak his message, while merely
presenting a note requires no special
effort in the way of courage. If the
physician is not at home, the note
can be left on the table, or tucked
underneath the door, when a child
might not be able to reach the slate
that is usually hung outside for calls.
In the note it is possible to tell in a
few words, which of the family is
i'll, and what the symptoms may be,
which it is desirable for a country
doctor to know, so that he may not
find at the end of long trip that he
lacks some special medicine or in
strument that is necessary, and be
obliged either to go for it himself or
to send someone to bring it.-Mary
Taylor Ross, in Good Housekeeping.

The Little Blind Girl Did Not Think
of Being Unhappy.
A personal experience of Governor
Odell of New York, recorded in the
Tribune, illustrates anew how often
the soul encompassed by infirmity
knows the compensating secret Of hap
piness. Governor Odell was inspecting
the state institution for the blind at
Batavia. AS he was walking through
one of the buildings he noticed a gold
en-haired child standing at a window.
She had her back to him. The Gov
ernor walked over to the window, and
said:
Chow do you do, my little lady?"
The child turned to him with
smile. She was exceedingly beautiful,
but her eyes were sightless.
care you Governor Odell?" she said.
The Governor said that he was. "Oh,
1 have been waiting to see you," she
said. II heard you were coming"
The Governor then took her on his
lap and asked her name.
"My name is Ruth"
81 have a little girl at home just
about as big as you, but her name is
EStelle."
They talked freely after that. The
little girl told her story without signs
or bitterness. She was unable to go
home for a vacation, because it was
necessary for her to remain for treat
ment. 1t was a disappointment, but
she smiled brightly as she said that
seeing the Governor partly made
up" Finally, when it came time for
him to go, the Governor said:
SIS there any message I can take
back to my little girl from you"
> eyes, oh, yes, you can give her my
love-"
as that all?' asked the Governor.
NO." said the child, clasping the
Governors neck and kissing him. Say
I sent her a kiss"
The next day, when the Governor
was in Buffalo, he bought the biggest
doll he could find and sent it to Ruth.
A few days later he got letter Of
thanks. 81 can feel it's eyes shut when
I put it TO bed at night" she wrote,
"and iii the morning can feel them
open. l have named my dolly Estelle,
and 1 pray every night that your little
girl may never be blind"

Newspaper in the Far North.

There is only one newspaper which
is published In the arctic circle, and
that is the Nourlanaste, or Eastern
Star, which is issued once a week at
Sigerfjord, In the extreme north Of
Norway. 1t is written in the Lap Ian
guage and is a very small paper, con-
sisting Of only four pages. Its con-
tents are chiefly short articles on re-
ligious subjects and items Of local
news. The popularity Of the little
paper is that it has no advertisements,
probably because the wants Of its
readers are few and easily satisfied.

Sunday morning an accidental ex-
plosion of giant powder occurred in
a wood choppers camp south Of Ber
lin. A couple of Spaniards, in tent
among five others, were cutting a
stick of giant in two, when it explo-
ded, SCATTERING both haunds of one
man, blowing of almost the entire
left side of the face, including the
cheek bone, besides serious injury to
various other parts of the body. An
other man had his left hand torn TO
shreds and his entire body frightfully
mangled. The injuries to two others
were OF a less serious nature. The
two men we're brought to Berlin and
placed under the care of DR.. Mann,
who amputated both arms of the
man who had both hands injured,
and dressed and attended the other
wounds on this man and the other
one. The number and character of
the wounds made the surgeons work
long and difficult. The man whose
arms were amputated died Sunday
night and was buried at Midas on
Tuesday. The other man was not
expected to live when the last news
was received from Berlin. -Reveille,
