How the Famous Surgeon Velpeau
Treated a Free Patient.

The famous surgeon Velpeau was
visited one day at his house during the
consultation hour by a marquis re-
nowned for his clOseness. Velpeau in
formed the marquis that an operation
was urgent and that the fee would
amount to 1000 francs. At this the
marquis made a wry face and left. A
fortnight later DR.. Velpeau, while max
ing his rounds in the Hospital de la
Charlie, had his attention attracted
by a face that seemed familiar to him.
In answer to his inquiry it was stated
that the patient was a footman of a
nObleman in the Faubourg st. Ger
main. The surgeon found that his
case resembled in every particular the
somewhat unusual one for which the
marquis had consulted him fortnight
previously. He refrained, however
from making any comments.
Three weeks after the operation,
when the patient was about to be dis
charged, DIR. Velpeau called him aside
and exclaimed: Monsieur, l am ex-
tremely flattered and pleased to have
been able to cure you. There is, how
ever, a small formality with which
you will have to comply before 1 can
sign your exeat-that is, you will have
to sign a check for 1000 francs in be-
half OF the public charity bureau OF
your metropolitan district" The pa
TENTS face became livid. you can do
what you like about it,. continued the
doctor, but il you refuse all Paris
will know tomorrow that the Marquis
de d. adopted the disguise of foot
man in order to secure free treatment
at this hospital and to usurp the place
which belongs by right to pauper."
OF course the marquis paid. =.

PRESSED TO DEATH.
Fearful Punishment That Obtained
Under Old English Law.

Under the old English law II a pris-
oner stood mute and failed to plead 10
the indictment a jury was impaneled
70 determine whether his conduct came
from obstlnacy or from a natural inn
pediment. According to Blackstone, II
the prisoner was found to be obsti-
natelv mute and the indictment was
for high treason it was settled that
his silence was equivalent TO a conVlc-
ton and that judgment and execution
should follow. This same rule applied
to petit larceny and misdemeanors' but
upon appeal or indictments for other
felonies or petit treason, according 10
the ancient law, the prisoner was not
deemed convicted; but, because OF his
obstinacy. he received 1.-THE terrible
sentence of penance or peine" and was
pressed to death.
Blackstone thus describes TINS pun
ishment: THAT the prisoner be re-
manded to the prison from whence ne
came and put in a low, dark chamberY
and there be laid on his back on the
bare floor, naked unless decency Tor
bids: that there be placed upon his
body as great weight Of iron as he
could bear and more; that he should
have no sustenance, save only on the
first day three morsels of the worst
bread. and on the second day three
drafts of standing water that should
be nearest the prison door, and in his
situation this should be alternately
his daily diet till he died or (as an
GENTLY the judgment RAM till he an
swered."
During the trials for witchcraft In
New England a respectable citizen be-
ing so accused, knowing that by rea-
son of the excitement of the times a
plea Of not guilty and trial would re-
suit in a conviction with confscation
of property, and the same judgment
would follow a plea of guilty, refused
TO plead, thereby preventing a conyic-
ton and enabling his family to retain
his property. The court ordered that
he be pressed because of his obstinacy.
The order was carried out and the
victim died.-Chicago News.

WISDOM OF ANIMALS.
The Ape of Apuleius-A Dog Actor.
Wise Dogs and Elephants.

wise Dogs anu EAcphaht5s
Apuleius says that in the spring
fetes of Isis, the forerunners of the
Roman carnival he saw monkey
with straw hat and Phrygian tunic.
But monkeys do not seem to have
been popular in Rome. The cleverest
Of all the animal performers were Of
course the dogs, and one Snowman
had the ingenious idea of making a
dog act a part in a comedy. The eff
fects of Il drug were tried on him, the
plot turning on the suspicion that the
drug was poisonous, while, in fact, it
was only a narcotic. The dog took
the piece of bread dipped in the liquid,
swallowed it and began to reel and
stagger till he finally fell on the
ground.
At the right moment he began to
move very slightly as if waking out
of a deep sleep Then he raised his
head, looked around, jumped up and
ran joyously TO the proper person.
The remark that animals do not grow
wiser with age is contradicted by the
habit Of elephants, noticed even in
ancient times, of making the young
ones cross ford first The officer who
superintendent the embarkation of the
elephants sent from India to Abys-
sinia for use in Lord Napier's cam
paign tells how one old elephant vol
unteered to drive all the others on
board His services were invaluable,
but when they had all embarked and
he was invited to follow them he firm
ly declined and had to be left on shore.
/ myself have noticed the acquired
caution of the older dogs Of CONSTANT
nople, which left untouched the crusts
/ threw them, while the young ones
ate them ravenously. A Greek native
told me that this was because Euro
peans were in the cruel habit of throw
ing poisoned bread to the street dogs;
hence the old ones, having seen the
bad effects on their companions, re-
fused to eat bread thrown by Europe
ans, though they took it readily from
any Turkish beggar who shared his
scanty fare with them.-Contempora
