The Hot Water Cure.

DR. William Osler is always ex-
ceedingly precise in his directions to
patients, according to the Womans
Home Companion He relates an
experience which a brother practi-
toner once had which illustrates the
dangers Of lack Of precision;
A young man one day visited this
doctor, and described a commonamal-
ady that had bcfallen him.
The thing for you to do" the
physician said, is to drink hot wa
ter an hour before breakfast every
morning"
The patient took his leave, and in
a week returned
well, how are you feeling?' the
physician asked.
Worse, doctor; worse, if any
thing" was the reply.
"Ah Did you follow my advice
and drink hot water an hour before
breakfast"
q did my best, sir" said the young
man, but I couldn't keep it up more
than ten minutes at a stretch.

A Real Farewell.

to have real significance. Madame
Helena Modjeska/is now in the midst
Of a tour that is a farewell i'll the
most unqualified sense of the word.
Never after this season will she APP
pear on the public stage in America
She has given her word to her man
ager, Mr. Jules hurry, and all who
are acquainted with this great az
tress know that her word is as good
as her bond The frequency with
which such faith has been violated
by actresses and singers, some OF
them having a dozen farewells, has
made Madam Modjeska all the more
careful that hers will be kept to the
letter Her final appearance here on
March 10th will be made the occa-
sion of a grand testimonial Of es-
TEEN by the many admirers who will
bid her an affectionate and sorrow
full adieu

Significance of the Tramp.


Respectable masculine dress, all
over Christendom, has fallen to such
a deadly level OF unpicturesque mon
otony that the genus hobo, otherwise
known as the tramp, is about the
only person who now wears anything
interesting or distinctive An Amer
lean tramp does not dress like an
English tramp, and both are different
from the French tramp And as for
the Spanish tramp, he is the most
picturesque "caballero' that ever de-
signed to go on foot, perpetuating
in his person and his tattered adorn-
ments something of the nobility of
mein Of both the middle ages ana
ancient Rome. So common is the
! recognition of the tramp's right to
be considered the living custodian Of
! the graces of the past that stage in
all countries makes a speciality of
presenting him just as he IS, or IN a
pleasing exaggeration Of his most es-
sential characteristics.
Some one may indeed ask if we
ever saw the stage tramp on the pub
lie highway 1t would be necessary
to make reply that the most exag-
gerated form of the tattered tramp
is indeed seldom seen on the roads.
Clothes are too easily come by in
this free-handed country to make il
necessary for any vagabond to GO
absolutely in shreds, as the stage
tramp often makes himself up. Nor
is it true that the average tramp car
ries with him a tomato can fastened
to string. That is a stage refine,
ment. But if you want to find really
distinctive garb, You had better visi

Widowed raggedness has not alto

The tramp is picturesque and ma
, tional because he cannot help it. Hi
