The Doctor Knew Best,

A Pennsylvania farmer named Hans
was subject to some kind Of fits which
rendered him totally unconscious for
hours at a time and on several occa-
sions convinced his good wife that she
was a widow. 1t was pretty generally
known that she was by no means
averse to the widowed state, for she
and the doughty Hans did not live in
peace and amity.
One day Hans was stricken as usual.
The good wife applied the usual RENE
dies, but this time they failed to revive
the unconscious man. A doctor was
called, and after thorough examina-
ton he shook his head and said SOL
EMMY:
dot iss III bed. Hiss iss todt (dea0."
The widow pretended to be overcome
with grief, and, leaning over the pros
trate form of her husband, she walled:
"Oh, mein Hans iss todtl Mein Hans
iss todtr'
But Hans, reviving suddenly, ex-
claimed:
"Nein, nein! Ich ben nit todt"
Hans" said his wife reprovingly,
lie still. Der doctor knows best"

A Heroic Physician.

A deadly plague was raging in the
city of Marseilles. The doctors could
do nothing, for very little was known
of the disease, owing to the danger sur
rounding any inquiry into 1t. In a
council among themselves they came to
the conclusion that the corpse of vic
tim must be dissected, but it would be
death to the operator. Upon this being
decided a celebrated physician, one OF
their number, arose and declared that
for the safety of his country he would
give himself up to the task, He then
Immediately left the room, made his
will and arranged his affairs. At day
break on the following morning he en-
tered the house where man had just
died of the plague. Here he made a
complete examination of the body, per
formed the necessary operations and
wrote down all he observed. When
this was completed he left the house.
threw the notes he had made into vine
gar that they might not carry Infection
and retired to lonely spot. There ne
died within twelve hours.

Seeing the Wind.

This is the way to see the wind:
Take a polished metal surface Of
TIVE feet or more with straight
edge. A large handsaw will an.
swer the purpose. A windy day is
needed for the experiment, OF
course-whether hot or cold, clear
or cloudy, makes no difference, only
let it not be murky or rainy wealth
er. Stand the metal surface on end,
inclining the top away from the
wind about AZ degrees, so that tie
wind, striking the surface, glances
UP and flows over the upper end.
Now sight carefully along the w
per edge for several moments at a
well defined object beyond, and you
will see the wind pouring over the
edge in graceful curves. If the OBJ
servation is made carefully the ex-
pertinent hardly ever will fail. The
result is even better if the sun is
obscure.
