L **?** * " Jimmy Bockerty sat in the Imperial Third Avenue Beer Talace, blandly ' " philosophical. His legs were graceful[ - ly crossed. One arm was thrown over i the back of his chair. With his other hand he lovingly and reflectively caressed his flowing beard. Occasionally Jimmy referred to a paper in his band. He read with close interest a fully detailed account of a newly discovered malady with which a royal personage had been afflicted. At these times Jimmy's face became sufb fncofl TiTitVi ?i cmiln of olfich Tncmicli f ness. At length he gave a well-sustained chuckle of finality and picked ' up his hat. "There's easy money and bed and board in this thing," said he, "and I think that young Dr. Beebe is the man for the trick." Now Jimmy had always been proud of his ingenuity, but he really surprised himself at the fluency of his pantomime as he described his symptoms to Beebe a few minutes later. Beebe sat there, full flushed with the dignity of his first patient, an eager expression on his face, making copious notes. "And I feel a dreadful tightness here," said Jimmy graphically, "and a frnimr rlrnirn hprp" hp pnn tinned. "Glorious!" murmured Beebe. Ho could restrain his rapidly increasing enthusiasm no longer. "My good man!'' said he, "do you know what ails you?" "Sure," said Jimmy, comfortably. f- Beebe fell back with a puzzled gesture. Jimmy took the paper from his pocket and pointed out the article that had interested him in the Beer Palace. "That's what I've got" he announced, proudly tapping the paper. "Only I've got it in an aggravated wM form." He hitched up his chair and prepared himself for confidential ' speech. "Now that disease is rare," he AAnfUiiAfl wl+h n refill mnrtnln Hnn I of his voice; "it is likewise mysterious. Royalty has just had it, and it's bound to be fashionable." He fixed Beebe with a benevolent eye. "Young man," said he, "do you know that if you could cure me of this mysterious malady it would make your reputation?" "Ob, I can cure you," said Beebe, with all the confidence of a single man, "that Is, if yon really have it," he continued, doubtfully. "Yes, sir, it would make your reputation." declaimed Jimmy with robust emphasis. His voice suddenly sank to a whisper, "and it will cost you $100," he added. Beebe showed Jimmy the door with labored politeness. "You pet out of here." he tooted like a foghorn. Jimmy looked at him more in sorrow than in anger. "By the way, you might leave your nddress," said Beebe, carefully avoiding Jimmy's eye. Beebe. it may be remarked, had emulated the foghorn perhaps because he fplt himself drifting. It is possible (that it was for the same good reason that he deemed it wise to throw out a little anehoV to windward. *?** ?* In the sickroom a porteneous quiet prevailed. The blinds were drawn. An | occasional clink of a inedkine bottle |v was th-e only sound that broke the op. pressfve silcnce. A trained nurse in a ^ cool blue dress crossed the room. Her feet fell silently on the carpeted floor. Iu the next room a consultation was Ik ng held. William Boolio, M. D., Tras there. Drs. AVillet and Stcnton Avere ? ui.

V had aieepted with alacrity Roche's invitation to help hiui out with this case, for the ailment happened to he that new European malady, and the thing promised to become fashionable after the Easter festivities. The doctors entered the room. The nurse immediately held up a warning linger. In silence the group tiptoed over to the bed. The patient was asleep, his beautiful flowing beard resting peacefully upon the pillow. His temperature, respiration and pulse were rapidly ascertained. Drs. Willet and Stenton looked with a certain veiled admiration at Beebe upon findi ing that the figures agreed with that risiug young physician's prognostications. "He is yielding to the treatment," they whispered as the nurse accompanied them out of the room. Beebe ! soon returned alone, happily rubbing | bis bands. The patient sat up in bis bed and lie. too, began happily rubbing bis bands. "I say. Doc," remarked the patient cheerfully, "you're making such a great success that I'm going to raise my price to $2r>0." "You agreed to $100," objected Beebe. "Not a cent less than $250 or I wont respond to your blamed old treatment," ultimated the patient reealc-itrantly. He suddenly subsided as the nur& entered the room and began bathing his brow. The patient fluffed out his board with both hands and winked flirtatiously up at the nurse. I The nurse winked flirtatiously back again. The patient, as it will have been obwas .Tiimiiv Bockertv. and it tickled him immeasurably to think that the nurse mistook his wink for delirium and winked back merely to soothe him. Jimmy awoke the next morning with a vague feeling that all was not quite as it should be. He felt aged and querulous. His organs were playing discords, so speaking. His feet seemed to be a thousand miles away and after Jimmy had followed them all that distance they appeared to be somebody else's feet. His pulse was feverish. His pyes bulged from his head. "Poor old chap," said Beebe solicitously, feeling his pulse. "Here's u complication, to be sure!" Beebe's startled face as he said this was a pretty thing to see. "What's tie matter?" asked Jimmy weakly. From Beebe's tone he was "1 fn fon 1 fiftrrv for ancauj wvfeiUMiu0 wv himself. "I'd hate to alarm you," began Beebe, "and it wouldn't do you any good to know," he continued after a weighty pause. Beebe stepped "back and gave the nurse certain whispered instructions. Jimmy faintly caught something about deadening the pain. He also heard an order for a barber to shave the patient's head and beard. Jimmy feebly called Beebe to the bed. "I say, Beebe," he whispered, "you remember what I said yesterday about wanting $250 before I'd let you cure me?" He paused for breath and weakly wetted his lips. "Well, now, that's all vight," he went on. "You get me out of this safe, and sound and we'll call it square, see?" He fell back upon his pillow and began feebly moaning. In a few moments he called Beebe to the bed again. "And I say, Beebe," he whispered, "just don't let them shave my beard, will you?" "With a strong effort he controlled his rising emotion. "I'd almost rather die than have it shaved," he gulped. "Honest, I would." ******* There are times when that famous young physician,William Eeebe, M. D., looks back upon the case that brought him into prominence. Beebe smiles when he remembers how the patient responded to his treatment. There are times when Jimmy Bockerty thinks with a shudder of that awful time when he nearly lost hi? beard.?New York Evening Sun. Monthly Crop Reports. The monthly estimates of crop conditions issued by the Department of Agriculture, while recognized by those most interested as being reliable, do not meet with much popular favor or appreciation. When a new census is to be taken, and the Government corps of statistic collectors is increased to the number of about 50,000 people, and the whole country awaits spellbound for the result of their compilations, and the figures issued from Washington ax-e accepted on every hand as ne::r correct as it is possible for human agency to make them. As a matter of fact, the Government's crop reports are apt to be much more reliable and accurate. In the first place, the data are gathered bv no less than 250,000 ob' servers, or five times as many as comprise the Census Bureau corps, and they are, moreover, all experienced and iraiufj oustrvers, iiinaicni caucus iu their several lines of industry. These observers voluntarily give the Government the benefit of their judgment on local conditions. It is remarkable that the work of this great army of figure gatherers should be so little appre? dated. Studying Liquid Drop*. The formation of liquid drops has been investigated by MM. Ledue and Saeerdote. and the result published in Comptes Rendus. This Is an experimental investigation of the relationship between the radius of the tube and the weight of the drop emitted. It is found that Tate's law, viz.. for the same liquid the weight of the drop is proportional to the radius of the orifice, is satisfied for radii from 0.5 to 1.5 centimetres. but that it becomes less and less true as this range is departed from on either side. For orifices greater than two centimetres the weight of tho drop is practically constant. Tate's law is theoretically derived from the supposition that the surface tension is the only molecular force acting: but it is pointed out that cohesion pi ays J large part in the phenomenon. A..? ?

Linen of Grace and Beauty. The present day Empire gowns require great artistic skill to produce j without obtaining a hardness or stiff effect, which was quite unknown to the soft supple flowing garments worn in the days of Josephine's court. The fair Josephine de Beauharnais, as immortalized at Versailles by David, certainly bequeathed to the world of fashion a gown which is in every wny seductive to feminine charms, while it is admirably adapted for the robe d'interieur, the toilette de bnl, or the robe de diner. The Empire gown certainly ranks to-day as a picturesque example of the refined and artistic taste of the gracious wife of Napoleon the First. It is an inheritance which all fashionable women of to-day strive to possess, for a perfectly attired worn ?? 1 ?

Lines of grace and linos of beauty are the primary considerations of the well appearing woman of to-day. Everything else must be subservient to these j two factors. The most supple and I clinging materials, with harmonious j trimmings, are sought for. No style I introduced seems to fit the manner of ! dress more than the fringe which was j brought out in the early autumn. It ! was a little stiff and ragged then, but i that now brought forth ty the maker cannot lie improved upon. It is satiny, soft, and while It possesos enough body, seems to shape itself in just the curvcs and draperings desired. Many of the ! handsomest new gowns are garnished . with it. One, a wedding dress to be sent to England, was in wood brown cloth, the entire front being of wide brown fringe. The three rows were so I arranged that they came to a point ! in front, and the einpieeeineut or yoke about the hips was of narrow bias bauds of taffeta,brought together with herrinbone stitch. The back of the skirt was sunpleated. and fell very full aud gracefully. The corsage, made with wide ceinture of brown taffeta, was sunpleated, and over the shoulders @1 j k \ ^TEST I 5RK u was a pointed collar, finished off in wide fringe.

Uolng Smoke I'rofltmbl/. To put smoke to profitable use has ?en. the aim of Tobiansky, the Belian engineer. In his process the smoke forced by a fan into a filtering iwer charged -with coke or other porjs absorbent, sprinkled with naphtha r alcohol, and the soot is retained by le coke, while the filtered gases, lixed -with vapor from the naphtha or Icohol, are collected in a gasometer, ) be fed to Welsbach burners, stoves * gas engines. This gaseous mixture, hich has been named pyrogas, burns ith a bright flame and an entire ab?nce of smoke. The value of pyrogas ren makes it profitable to burn fuel f low grade for its smoke alone, and is computed that plants of small >st will enable cities to derive a marial income from the conversion of leir garbage into purified smoke for ght and power. Large factories and nail establishments :n Belgium are inking experiments, both in saving nd in producing smoke for its comustible gas. Discovery or an Altec Mine.
