An Eccentric Russian Doctor.

The famous Russian, the late DR..
Zaharin, was noted for his eccentric
methods. When summoned to attend
Gear Alexander III. in his last illness,
DR.. Zaharin required the same prep
aration for his visit to the palace as
to any of his patients houses. That is
to say, all dogs had to be kept out of
the way, all clocks stopped and every
door thrown wide open. He left his
furs in the hall, his overcoat in the
next room, his galoches in the third,
and, continuing, arrived at the bedside
in ordinary indoor costume He sat
down after walking every few yards
and every eight steps In going up
stairs. From the patients relatives
and every one else in the house he re-
quired absolute silence until he spoke
to them, when his questions had to be
answered by Yes or NO and moth
ing more.

The Mistake He Made.

He sauntered into the central police
station and approached the desk ser
geant. There was a careworn look on
his face. He stood there a moment
as If in reverie. Finally as tears
coursed down his cheeks he timidly
said:
Il want to give myself up"
'What have you done that you should
seek a felon's cell?. the sergeant
asked.
Il have long been a fugitive from
justice. The welfare of society de-
mands that should be punished
but what is it? What heinous Of
Tense have you committedY'

A Friend In q Fsu.

In one Of the worst London fogs,"
said an Englishman, IAN old friend of
mine tried to find his way from Ira
falgar square to the Savoy, where he
had an engagement to dine.
'"The sulphurous air made the eyes
smart and the head ache, and it
brought on terrific fits Of coughing
You could not literally see your hand
before your face There was a con-
tinual crashing in Of windows, bells
tangled, vehicles and foot passengers
colfided, and shrieks and oaths arose.
Threading his way in the midst of
this pandemonium through the Strand
as he supposed, from Landseer's lions
to the waiting dinner at the Savoy, my
old friend, to his great bewilderment,
soon found himself descending broad
stairway. He put his hand to the
balustrade. Yes, a broad and stately
stairway with a rail of carved stone.
Amazing!
Suddenly in his descent my friend
collided with some one ascending the
stairway.
"'Hellor he said.
"Helo" a gruff male voice replied
. "'Can you tell me- said my friend.
where / am going?'
Certainly said the other. IF you
keep straight on you will walk into

it,"
