A CHARITY PATIENT.
The Price He Had to Pay For Expert
Surgical Treatment.

The famous surgeon Nelpeau was
visited one day at his house during
the consultation hour by a marquis
renowned for his closeness. Velpeau
! Informed the marquis that an opera
( ton was urgent and that the fee would
! amount to 1000 francs. At this the
marquis made Il wry face and left. a
fortnight later Dr. Yelpeau, while MAX
ing his rounds in the Hopital de Ia
Charlie, had his attention attracted
by 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 a fortnight
previously. He RETAINED, however,
from making any comments. Three
weeks after the operation, when the
patient was about to be discharged.
DR.. Velpeau called him aside and ex-
claimed: Monsieur. | am extremely
hattered and pleased to have been able
to cure YOU. There is, however. a
small formality with which you will
have to comply before | can sign your
exeat-that is. YOU will have to sign
a check for 10000 francs in behalf of
the public charity bureau of your met
ropolitan district" The patients face /
became livid. you can do what Won
like about it" continued the doctor.
but if you refuse all Paris will know
tomorrow that the Marquis de D.
adopted the disguise of a footman in
'rder to secure free treatment at this
hospital and to usurp the place which
belongs by right to a pauper." OF

the skin.
The cost per cake is 10c and the
soap can be had at most general
stores. druggists and grocers.
Those whose compilations are rough
and dry should use some such soap
or skin food for a month or so till the
pores are thoroughly clenased and the
natural oils are stimulated into taking
care of the skin themselves.
Olive oil alone is a good thing TO
use for these troubles.
The only objection being its prohib-
tive cost.
In soap like Palmolive these OILS
are used in such quantities and nle
cost of the oils in bulk is so much less
than the cost in bottles, that SUI

you have to be examined by the doctor,

four months you are sent to sea as an
ordinary seaman. There are always
a bunch of them and you don't feel
lonesome for your old friends. AS
soon as you are aboard you have lot
of work getting next to things and your
work. At $50 you get up, lash up
you hammock, stow it away and get
your early coffee and smoke. At 6
you turn to by the boatsYains pipes,
start scrubbing down deck Then the
gunner's mates start to clean up their
guns, the coal passers hoist UP the
ashes. At 7 all knock off and 7:30
