Another Is the construction of fish

THE STAFF OF OFFICE.

sNSNS~eN~GN-~~~O~N~~
A gold-headed cane used to be con-
sidered a necessary part Of the physl-
clans outfit, as indispensable to the
profession as the medicine bag or the
general air of wisdom. In the rooms
Of the London College of Physicians
there Is preserved a gold-topped staff,
which Is famous as having been car
red by succession of prominent doc
tors whose lives extended over period
Of nearly century and a half. DR..
William Macmichael has published an
account of 1t in quaint little book In
which the story Of the various owners
and their characteristics is told.
The cane originally belonged to the
great DR.. Radcliffe Of the seventeenth
century. The doctor himself, rather
quick as to temper was once treated
to a biting bit of repartee. Radcliffe's
garden adjoined the grounds Of Sir
Godfrey Kneller, the Kings chief paint
er. A door In the wall made easy COM
munication between his majesty's doc
tor and the artist. Some of the doc
tors workmen, however, Uttered up
the artists beautiful flower beds and
reused his anger. He sent word to his
neighbor that If the thing continued he
would have the door bricked up.
"Slr Godfrey can do what he pleases
with that door so long as he doesn't
paint It'll" retorted DIR. Radcliffe.
did my good friend say thatT re-
marked Sir Godfrey, when the slap at
his profession was repeated to him.
well, go tell him that I'll take any
thing from him but physic."
The cane passed in succession from
DR.. Radcliffe's hands to those Of Mead,
Askew; Pitcairn and BaillIe, all famous
in their day and generation. OF Bail
lie the following incident Is told:
. He was a gentle and patient physl-
clan by nature, but his immense prac.
tice and crowded hours sometimes made
him hasty with the importunate.
At one time, after listening to long
story of her ailments from a lady WHO
was so little Ill that she Intended to
go to the opera that night, the doctor
left the room with sigh of relief. He
had just got downstairs when he was
called back.

few oysters"
"Yes, madam" roared the doctor,

In a religious rite Dressed In q red
robe, which was burned Immediately
afterward, he held a cocoanut In his
hand during the reading of the shas-
tras, or sacred book of the Hindoos.
What would happen If the red robe
were not burned, or If he held an or
ange instead of cocoanut In his hands,
the western mind cannot fathom, but
very likely the gods would be offended
and disasters would come to him and
his people. The Jam drove In a silver
carriage, surrounded by a bright retI-
nue., from his palace to the palace of
installation, passing under a unique
arch, fashioned after two elephants
with trunks extended upward and join
ed. The throne upon which he sat
should have made him proud Of his
hereditary privilege as a ruler. 1t was
Of solid gold, with a canopy of gold
embroidery and with gold embroidered
carpet covering generous expanse of
floor. Here with his courtiers around
him the Jam was officially invested
with the right to use or abuse his peo-
pie at will, after which he returned In
state to his palace.
The new Jam is young man of lib
eral education, which he acquired at
Trinity College, England. While In
England he became an expert crlcketer
and for four years was the champion
batsman of the country. Much of his
time is still devoted to the game which
he has introduced into his kingdom.

WELCOME STEAMER BASKETS.

Fortunate Recipients Can Scarcely
Wait for the BOnt to Leave Dock.
The steamer basket has grown to be
as exciting an institution as the Christ
mas stocking, says the Boston Herald.
Such nice things are tucked In" In the
fruit line, with boxes Of choice confec-
lions and sweets, and the whole COW
cred with flowers gayly tied with rib
bons that a departing passenger can
scarcely wait for the boat to leave its
dock before beginning its exploration.
Among the welcome sweets are SOCIAL
lime mints" and candled ginger, which
are considered delightful In case of sea
sickness.
A young woman, who had Just re-
turned from a two months motor trip
abroad, tells me that the contents of a
steamer basket sent her for a ''bon voy-
age" lasted the greater part of the tour,
and was a constant source Of excite
ment to herself and the rest of the par.
ty. Every day a new trihe Of some sort
came to light in 1t. and, as they laugh
Ingly pretended" they were shipwreck-
ed, these 'nibbles" were doled out as
If the most precious Of rations.
Finally the very last package was
reached. The willow basket had been
entirely emptied. only the ribbons re-
malning; then solemn services were
held, like council cannibalIstic," to
determine who should be cooked to
save the others lives" as 1t were. But,
alas, when that package was opened,
1t held nothing good to eati 1t had,
contrary, only another mouth to feed"

Threefold Cord


John Hammond and his wife had
lived together Eve long years, and were
StraAgers yet. How them came togeth-
eE people could never understand any
more than they understood what you
and l saw In our respective Darby or
Joan. 1t was one OF those marriages
which are seldom satisfactory, simply
because the husband and wife are In
some respects as like as two peas, and
In others far as the poles asunder.
Iron sharponeth iron, we are told,
and Johns raSping remarks, which did
not mean all thOy suggested, had the ef
feet of causing his wife to resist with
all her strength what sounded like pre-
enptory commands. They were not In
tended a. such, but he was too proud
to explain; the woman capable Of see.

only the worst.
Both were tust--neither had develop

and her own standpoint, and found tho
other wanting. Both were honorable,
proud, strong-wilied, and self-contain,

Mrs. Hammond loved certain OF her
neighbors, and delighted In society. Her
husband was stuaiously inclined loved
reading by his Preside, and did not care
FOR what he termed frivolity. She was

up and coiled plainly on her head.
We have flower show in our town
once year. The first day lie the heat,
OF course, and, the prices excluding the
poorer kind of people, only the upper sort
are there. There was a rumor that titled
visitors were staying with the Casely's,
and that probably they would visit the
show in the afternoon; wherefore you
may be sure that Mrs. Yeames and her
'superiah" set were all there in full
feather.
About three o'clock l saw Miss Dali
rymple come In with Laure; che never
missed any occasion of giving pleasure to
the child, or of taking it herself for that
matter. She was plainly dressed; but,
to my mind, there was no more elegant
young lady there. Mrs. Yeames with
three of her finest friends stopped them,
and with the most distant patronizing in.
clinatiOn of their heads to Miss Dalrym-
pie, bent down to kiss Laurie, and ask
after her poor, dear papa. Then Mrs.
1eames, taking the child's hand, led her
to a bank of cut flowers, asking her
whether she could spell the labels at
tached
In the midst of this instructive display
of her own requirements, there was a fut-
ter amongst the visitors, and word was
whispered that Mrs. Casely had arrived
and had brought Lord Dunover with her.
And there, sure enough, was Mrs. Casely
with tall, white-haired, aristocratic old
gentleman, coming right down upon the
little party. There was not time, to get
away from little Laure and that horrid
nurse Gertrude, when Mrs. Casely met
them and introduced his lordship. Dun
over bowed stifly, but suddenly catching
sight of Miss Dalrymple, his face became
illumined with a smile of heartfelt pleas
ure, and exclaiming, what, Gertie, my
dear, you here!" he took her by both
hands and kissed her pretty lips. Then
turning to Mrs. Casely, he said:
Mrs. Casely, let me introduce you to
my Mecca little democrat who almost
shakes my class prejudice, for she prefers
independence as hospital nurse to shar.
ing the fallen fortunes of her family"
Then 1t was known that Miss Dalrym
pie was actually the niece Of an earl.
And she and Laurie spent q week at
Casey Manor, where Mrs. Yeames and
her ''superiah" set had never been allow.
ed to stay longer than half an hour.
