ord, heart diseases We're cause Of
great worry and fright to the laity as
well as to the profession, but now they

proper therapeutics until the end of the

difficulty from the diseased organ. In

case which was under the care of his
grandfather from 1880 to 1856, his

AN EARLY CALL.
Mark Twain's Story About His Alb

sentminded Brother.
One bitter December night Orion
mark. Twain's brother) sat up reading
until o'clock in the morning and then,
without looking at a clock, sailed forth
to call on a young lady. He hammered
and hammered at the door; couldn't
get any response; didn't understand it.
Anybody else would have regarded
that as an Indication of some kind or
other and would have drawn infer
ences and gone home, but Orion didn't
draw differences. He merely hammered
and hammered, and finally the father
of the girl appeared at the door in a
dressing gown. He had a candle in
his hand, and the dressing gown was
expression of welcome, which was SO
thick and so large that It extended all
down his front to his instep and nearly
obIiterated the dressing gown But
Orion didn't notice that this was an
unpleasant expression. He merely
walked in The old gentleman took
him into the parlor, set the candle on
a table and stood. Orion made the
usual remarks about the weather and
sat down-sat down and talked and
talked and went on talking, that old
man looking at him vindictively and
waiting for his chance. waiting treach-
erously and Indignantly for his chance.
Orion had not asked for the young
lady. 1t was not customary. It was
understood that young fellow came
to see the girl of the house, not the
founder Of it. At last Orion got up
and made some remark to the effect
that probably the young lady was
busy and he would go now and call
again That was the old mans chance,
and he said with fervency, "Why, good
land, aren't you going to stop to break

An Honest Quaker.

A sheriff was once asked to execute
a writ against a Quaker. On arriving
at his house he saw the Quaker's wife,
who in reply to the inquiry whether
her husband was at home said he was,
at the same time requesting him to be
seated, and her husband would speed
" see him The officer waited pa
tiently for some time, when, the fair
Quakeress coming into the room, he
reminded her of her promise that he
might see her husband Nay, friend,
I promised that he would see thee.
He has seen thee. He did not like thy
looks. Therefore he avoided thee and
hath departed from the house by an
other path. y

SCOTCH TERMS.
The Word "clan" and the Relation Of
CIansmen and Chief.

The Word "CIan" and the Relation Of
cIansmen and Chief.
Every body knows that the word
''mac'' pronounced in Gaelic machk}
means son, so that, for example. Mac
Donald literally means the son of Don
aid. But it is not generally known
that when a woman is spoken of the
highlanders substitute for mac the
feminine mich" which means daugh-
ter; that the yocatiye Of mac is
"Yichk'' 1--WE spell phonetically), which
always replaces mac when a person
Is addressed, and that the nominative
plural is michk (sons) or claun (chil
dren). Sir Walter SCOTS ignorance Of
Gaelic frequently led him into error
upon these points, both in his poetry
and in his novels.
The meaning of the Gaelic word clan,
as just stated, is children, and the ODE
dience which clansmen owed to their
chief was considered by them rather
as the affectionate obedience due by
children to q father than as that due
by subjects to ruler. They believed
themselves 10 De dlI DlOOu ielduOuS
descended from common ancestor, Of
which their chief was the living repre-
sentative. The clansman who hesitat-
ed to save his chiefs life at the ex-
pense Of his own was regarded as a
coward who fed from his fathers side
in the hour of peril. On the other
hand, the chief was expected at all
times to acknowledge the meanest Of
his clan as his relation and to shake
hands with him wherever they might
happen to meet. Subordinate to the
chief and generally related to him
were the chieftains and tacksmen.-

The Temperance of Miss Willard.

hospitality and the nota bles who loved

leave out Of the next edition certain
poems. But NO was the only answer.
It was art and must never be disturb
ed. Miss Willard was also a guest,
and Walt was rude to her; said he
hated crusading temperance fanatic,
especially a woman. She was perfectly
unrutfied, and he left the room, but
before long he returned and apologized
in the sweetest way. Upstairs Frances
