A Diagnosis.
Prof. Koch, the famous Investigator
of sleeping sickness, said of an oldfashioned
doctor at a musical given by
Andrew Carnegie in his honor in Xew
York:
"Yes, Dr. Blank's methods were oldfashioned.
prosy, pompous, nonsensical.
You know, at Heidelburg they
teH n story about him?a story in illustration
of his way of working.
"A man, according to the story, fell
over a cliff in an automobile and a
steel bar eight feet long was run
through his body so that three feet of
the bar protruded from his stomach
and three feet from his back.
"Dr. Blank was sent for. He looked
at the spitted patient and said:
" 'Where is the complaint?'
" 'It is In my stomach sir,' was the
reply.
" 'How did it happen?"
"The man explained the accident in
detail.
"'Humph!' said Dr. Blank. 'As to
heredity, did any members of your
family ever suffer a similar accident?'
" 'Xo, sir, none,' the patient answered.
" 'Very good." said Dr. Blank. 'You
see. we require a knowledge of all
these details in order to form a correct
diagnosis. So far, so good.'
"He looked at the patient thoughtfully.
" 'You find some difficulty in lying
on your back?' he said.
" 'I can't lie on my back at all. sir.'
" 'And I suppose you are no easier
on the stomach?'
" 'Oh, no.'
" 'In short, said Dr. Blank, 'you are
most comfortable on your side?'
" 'Yes, sir. That is the only position,
to tell the truth, that I am able to
maintain.'
" 'Exactly,' said the doctor, in a triumphant
voice. 'We have now only to
settle upon the treatment. Here is the
case in a nutshell: Either we leave the
bar where it is, in which case inflammation
will set in and you will probably
die. or we extract it, an operation
that is likely to prove fatal. Your fate,
sir, is in your own hands. Please decide
which course you will adopt.' "?

Cruelty to Animals.
A well known lady in the north of
England was. until recently, in the
habit of indulging in long country
rambles, a magnificent bloodhound
being her sole companion, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. When cycling
became the rage Miss B? altered her
daily programme. The bloodhound
was left at home and a fine dachshund
now takes Its place.
The pair were passing through a
village near the lady's residence the
other day when a laborer turned to
a companion and remarked:
"If Aw wor proime minister for a
diiv Aw'd out a stop to this 'ere bicy
cling business."
"Why?" asked the other.
" 'Cos it owt to be stopped, if only
for the sake o' that 'ere dog as is
puffin' along behind there," rejoined
the laborer. "It ain't sport?it's just
cruelty to animals, that's what it is."
His companion scarcely agreed
with him. and expressed the opinion
that the dog in question "would be
none the worse for a little exercise."
"Exercise!" retorted the other,
scornfully: "d'ye call that exercise?
You niver saw that 'ere dog afore she
started bicycling, did you?"
"No. I can't say I did."
"Well." went on the laborer, "he
wor one o' the finest bloodhounds you
ever clapped eyes on?an' wot is 'e
now? His body's dwindled to nowt,
while 'is legs is worn clean doon to
the stumps. Aw tell yer it's cruelty
to hanimals."
As Little Sister Saw It.
It was big sister's wedding day.
and mother was in the kitchen helping
the cook, says the New York
Press. Little sister was there, too,
and added frayed nerves to the excitement
by demanding to know
every other minute what a marriage
was.
Finally mother became exasperated.
"If you speak again," she said. "I'll
show you what a marriage is." and
little sister sat down very meekly.
But little sister had caught the excitement
and could not keep quiet.
Just as mother and the cook were
busiest she asked her question again.
For a full minute the kitchen resounded
with wails and then mother placed
little sister on the chair again.
"Now." she said, "you know what
marriage is."
That night the clergyman stood
under the marriage bell in the parlor.
Into the room came big sister
on the arm of her father. Half way
up the stairs little sister watched
through the door and cried softly.
Finally she could stand it no longer.
Just as the ceremony was about to
begin a form came Hying down the
stairs and little sister burst into the
mom.
"Oh, Milly. Milly," she cried, convulsively.
"don't get married or you'll
get an awful spanking!"

British cousins?" inquired E. Black

A Kind Ji ihje.?A New England

court down east as well known in the

him from doing his duty as a judge.
On one occasion a man who had
been convicted of stealing a quantity

court for sentence. He seemed very
sad and hopeless, and it was observed
that the court was not entirely unsym

LANCASTER.
News, June 17: The Ebenezer Presbyterian
church. Rock Hill, has extended
a call to the Rev. J. T. Dendy
of Kershaw An unknown person
attempted to break into the residence
of Mr. J. K. Harris, in the
Heath Springs section, Sunday night
about 11 o'clock. Mr. Harris was not
at home, having come to town to attend
court, he being a grand juror.
The party first tried a window, and
then the hall door, but ran off when
Mrs. Harris went to the door. She
secured a gun and fired at the scoundrel
without effect Thad McCreary,
a negro who escaped from the
Chester jail on the 20th of last October,
was captured in this county Friday
by Deputy Sheriff I. T. Hunter,
near Stoneboro, and has been returned
to Chester. The sheriff of that
county had offered a reward of $25
for his arrest. The negro has been
working on Mr. Fraser McGill's farm
since last December and has conducted
himself well. He is said to have a
good crop and is a splendid hand to
work. The charge in Chester against
him is that of robbing the store of
Mr. Joe Jordan at Baseomville. The
negro claims that he was paid $6 by
a white man to burn the store, with
the understanding that he could take
out of the building before burning it
what goods he wanted by way of further
compensation for the job. But
when he got into the store, says the
negro, he saw so many nice things
that his heart failed him Court
convened here Monday morning,
Judge Gage presiding. When the
clerk called the roll of the grand and
petit jurors every man answered to
his name, making a most remarkable
record, as the judge remarked at the
time' His honor's charge to the grand
jury was both forceful and impressive.
He began by commenting on the
prevalence of crime in this country?
not only in Lancaster county, but
elsewhere as well. He said he had
examined the calendars here and
found that in the past ten years forty-six
homicide cases have been tried
in this county. He made a similar
investigation as to Fairfield during
the recent term of court held by him
at Winnsboro, finding that county's record
of homicide cases in the same
period of time to be forty-five. He
has not yet held court at Chester and
York, but hopes to find better records
in those counties. White men do not
steal in this country because they dare
not, and white women are virtuous
because the men demand it, and yet
human life is taken. No law, said
the judge, is "worth a fig" unless supported
by a sound, wholesome public
sentiment. If the homes and the
churches were to do their full duty,
there would be no use for court houses,
which are monuments to a people's
shame and not to their integrity. The
duties of jurors in relation to the suppression
of crime and the maintenance
of law and order were emphasized.
RUINED BY "SURE THING."
One of the Worst Possibilities of Ruin
For Thousands Today.
A "sure thing," an "inside tip" has
ruined more men than almost anything
else. A splendid man committed suicide
in New York not long ago because
he lost everything on an "inside tip,"
for which he drew sixteen thousand
dollars from the savings banks?every
dollar he had in the world.
It had taken him many years of
careful economy and self-sacrifice to
accumulate his little fortune; but it
was all lost in one foolish investment.
He thought he was going to make a
big fortune: but instead of that, the
stock h? bought went down, his margins
were completely wiped out. and
he found himself penniless.
The recent financial panic brought
to light many good illustrations of the
possibility of being ruined by a "sure
thing." Scores of people who went
down, lost their money on what they
were led to believe were perfectly solid
investments that were "sure to win."
Thousands of clerks, and many other
people, with their small savings,
like a flock of sheep, followed the inside
tip of some financier who is be
lieved to know what is going to happen,
and were ruined. The truth is,
even the most level-headed business
men and the most astute financiers do
not know what is going to happen, as
is shown by the fact that many of
them were caught and seriously crippled
in the late panic.
There are vast multitudes of people
living in this country today in poverty,
many of them homeless and even
without the ordinary necessities, not
to speak of the comforts of life, just
because they could not resist the
temptation to gamble, to risk enough
to make them comfortable in some getrich-quiek
scheme, which they were
told was a "sure-thing."?Orison Swett
Marden, in Success Magazine.
LONDON FOGS.
Some Record-Breakers In London's
History.
This morning we experienced a
slight touch of the fog for which London
has been noted for centuries. It
is difficult to discover from historical
records when the lirst great fog settied
down upon London, but it is very
certain that in no other town in Europe
do the same conditions prevail today.
Paris has at times its hours of
atmospheric gloom, but with us it is
an . Egyptian darkness that can be
felt. So far back as the reign of Queen
Elizabeth the annoyance caused by
coal smoke was recognized in London.
In those days all the large manufactories,
such as existed, were in the
heart of the city. As they grew In
number, therefore, the smoke nuisance
must have increased. Very little,
however, seems to have been done
toward the abatement of the evil until
1661. These were the days of
Evelyn. He has much to say in his
diary on the subject; London to him
is a city than which no finer exists,
but he adds, "If she was to be relieved
from that which renders her
less healthy, really offends her, and
which darkens and eclipses all her
other attributes," then "that hellish
and dismal cloud of sea-coale" must
be removed. To Evelyn the sickness
of the inhabitants, lung complaints,
catarrhs, coughs, all owe their origin
to London fog. He speaks of the sun
being eclipsed, of the great inconveniences
caused by the smoke and of the
traveller "at many miles distance,"
who "sooner smells than sees the city
to which he repairs." The strange
thing is that Pepys never so much as
mentions a fog in London. Evelyn,
however, not only deplored their existence,
but he wrote a treatise on fogs
under the title of "Fumifugeum,"
which he tells us he dedicated to his
majesty, (Charles II.), "who was
pleased that I should publish it by his
special command, being much gratified
with it." The upshot of it all was
that by an act of parliament "Diers,
sope and salt boilers, lime burners and
the like" were removed outside the
city. We are not told whether the
remedy cured the complaint. It probably
lessened the evil for a time, but
as London grew and trade increased
the smoke nuisance must have been
continually recurring.
In 1785 James Watt, the inventor
of the steam engine brought out a
smoke-abating machine, and fifteen
years later one, Cotter patented a
smokeless grate. But still the fogs
smothered London until at last, in
1819, parliament took up the matter
and appointed a committee of inquiry.
This was followed by two
others In 1843 and 1845, out of which
an act of parliament was'evolved imposing
certain restrictions as regards
the smoke factories, but none In the
case of private dwellings. Twentyseven
years have now come and gone
since the Smoke Abatement Exhibition
took place in South Kensington.
The movement was started by the
National Health society, but beyond
attracting a great deal of interest and
the patronage of the board of trade,
little good resulted, and today the
London fogs are as celebrated as ever.
According to an old paper called the
Mirror of the Months, there is an
amusing account of London fogs,
which the author speaks of as "far
famed." He says that Novembe* is
the great month for such delicacies,
and adds that it is like "breathing
water and the fishes too; it is also
meat and drink, something between
egg flip and omelette souffle," but
much more "digestible than either,"
and it wraps you, he continues, all
round like a cloak, a patent waterproof,
one which no rain ever penetrated.
These were, no'doubt, fogs of
the ordinary winter type. But there
have been great fogs, fogs that were
remembered and talked about for
years after. Such a one was that
which took place on the 27th of December,
IS 13. This was in the days
of the regent, afterward George IV.
The accounts of this celebrated fog
are meagre, but those that exist are
sufficiently authentic and fully bear
out the assertion that it was the most
alarming that ever hung over London.
For two weeks the whole city
was in total darkness, a darkness
mai is uescriDea as Deing ien. ine
mails were delayed, coaches on the
high roads were overturned, people
were lost for days, business was at a
standstill. There was not a breath of
wind to carry away the smoke which
increased in density every hour. The
oldest citizen had never heard of
anything to compare with it. Added
to the confusion caused by the total
darkness, murders, robberies and
street brawls were incessant, few dared
to walk the streets for fear of being
assaulted, and the terrible silence
that settled down over all was only
broken by the curses of the hackney
coachmen as they collided in the
narrow roads or the shrieks of some
wretched viptim who was being murdered
for his purse. The cold was intense,
so much so that many of those
who had lost their way in the fog
were frozen to death. After this terrible
state of affairs had lasted close
upon a fortnight the fog lifted and
then came such a fall of snow as had
never been known within the memory
of man.?London Globe.
LORD CHESTERFIELD.
Who Tried to Make His Son a Model
Man.
Every one has heard of the celebrated
"Letters of Lord Chesterfield
to His Son"; how many people nowadays
read them? And yet had they
not been written we doubt whether
the author would be remembered today
at all. Nevertheless, in his day
he was one of the most striking characters
in England. Horn in London
in 1694, his father. Philip Stanhope,
left him to his own resources. Fortunately
his maternal grandmother
Interested herself in his welfare, and
watched over his youthful days.
There is little to tell of the first years
of his life. Beyond acquiring, as
Lord Chesterfield himself tells us, a
veneration for Latin and an interest
in mathematics, he derived little benefit
from his stay at the university.
Within eighteen months, therefore
he left, and made a tour in Flanders,
where he found himself launched in
the world of fashion. Yet despite his
gallantries and gambling, which were
the talk of The Hague, he found time
for reading, and developed an ambi
lioil l<> finer me niiusr 01 eimiiiihhis.
His ambitions were not long delayed.
In 1 7 1 f?. before he had attained the
legal age. he was elected as Whig
member for the St. German's division
of Cornwall. A few months afterward.
on taking his seat, after
making a violent speech, in which he
described as "traitors" the promoters
of the peace of Utrecht, he was warned
that If he attempted to record his
vote his election would be annulled.
Thereupon the young member at
once retired to France.
In 1726 his father died, and he
took his seat in the house of lords,
which he used to talk of as a "hospital
for incurables." But Stanhope
was in the rudest of political health,
and from henceforth attacked Walpole
and his party with the greatest
violence. Owing to the insistence of
i George II.. with whom he had always
been on the most intimate terms, he
was appointed ambassador at The
Hague a few years later, where, according
to Horace Walpole, "he
courted the good opinion of the Dutch
people by losing immense sums of
money." But in addition to gambling.
Stanhope fell deeply in love with
a beautiful young lady by name Bouchet;
it was her son to whom the famous
letters were written. In 1732,
owing to ill health, he relinquished
his diplomatic career and returned to
England and the house of lords. For
the next sixteen years his whole life
was given up to politics. In 1 744 he
was appointed lord lieutenant of Ireland.
but owing to ill health was
j compelled to resign a few months afIterward.
Later he was made secre
tary of state, and When, owing to
differences of opinion with his colleagues,
he resigned his office, he comforted
himself by gambling heavily at
White's. When the days of the
American war were drawing near,
Chesterfield, with Lord Chatham,
condemned with all the energy at his
command the attempt to tax the colonies.
"For my part," he says, "I
never saw a froward child mended
by whipping, and I would not have
the mother country become a stepmother."
From this time onward
(1748) until his death, twenty-five
years later, politics had little attraction
for him.
Having settled down to a quiet life
he turned his attention toward architecture
and literature. In his enthusiasm
for the first he built Chesterfield
House, and also spent large
sums of money in enlarging a villa
which he owned at Blackheath. As
regards literature, he was a constant
contributor to the World newspaper,
and in addition to corresponcMng with
the leaders of intellectual society in
Paris wrote many books. But apart
from writing himself, he was a great
patron of literature, though his kindness
often involved him in serious
difficulties. Such was the case with
the bricklayer poet, Jones, and Faulkner,
the Dublin bookseller, both of
whom he spoiled. The former finally
borrowed large sums of money
from his patron's butler and was cast
off. The odd thing is that he should
have been so indifferent to the genius
of Dr. Johnson, for beyond sending
him ?10 he seems to have taken
little or no interest in the production
of the celebrated dictionary.
In the last ten years of his life he
suffered much from rheumatism and
gout, and, what was a still greater
trouble to him, he became practically
stone deaf. Such infirmities withdrew
him, as they increased, more and
more from the world. But he never
lost cheerfulness of temperament, despite
the fact that "he was hobbling
on to his journey's end," as he tells
us. It was during these days that he
experienced the great grief of his life.
His son, by Miss Bouchet, had for
years been his one care and all absorbing
interest. When the boy was
but 5 years old the father began the
series of the celebrated letters, which
continued until his son died. Every
day, no matter how pressing affairs
of state, the youth received a budget
of instructions as to how to become a
reputable man of the world. Chesterfield,
as he informed a friend, tried to
make him, as near perfection as possible."
In short, young Philip was
his father's idol. One can imagine,
therefore, the terrible grief and blank
Lord Chesterfield must have felt
i when in 1768 the long correspondence
was closed by death. Rut there was
. more than this to make him miserable;
his agony of mind was increased
, a hundredfold by the revelation that
the son whom he had endowed with
his life's interest and affection had
been secretly married for years, and
! that to a woman of little social respectability.
But the end was drawing near. In
the autumn of 1772 he had a serious
relapse, from which he never really
; recovered. It is said that as he was
on the point of dying his great friend
Dayrolies entered the room, and that
[ Chesterfield with his last breath begged
him to "take a chair." According
to Lord Hervey, he was a "stunted
giant," with "a broad-featured, ugly
face, with black teeth." But Dr.
Johnson, Horace Walpole and this
very Lord Hervey were the bitterest
enemies of his life; thus none of them
spared him when he died, which he
did in the seventy-ninth year of his
' age, on March 24. 1773.?London

ODD PORTENTS AND SIGNS.
' Superstitions That Have Long Been
Prevalent Among Negroes.
Among the colored people of the
south every common event has its
accompanying sign or superstition.
Whether these all date back to the
African savage ancestors of the race
is doubtful, as very many of them are
similar to those current among English,
Scotch and Irish peasants. It is
probable that in acquiring the English
language the newly imported negroes
imbibed the superstitions in
vogue among the white people of the
south at that time.
Signs of weather are many, as is
natural, and some of them are very
curious. If a cat sneezes or if she
washes her head behind her ear it
will rain. If she rubs against objects
in' is esneciallv friskv it forebodes
wind.
In the winter if a cow lows in the
' evening it will snow before morning.
If a cow stops in walking and shakes
her foot there is bad weather behind
i her. When the cattle are driven to
1 pasture, if the hull goes first it will
> rain.
If a dog eats grass in the morning
or if he digs a hole in the ground it
is a sign of bad weather. Pigs are
believed to be able to "see the wind."
If they run about and squeal without
apparent cause it is a sign of cold
, and stormy weather.
Money carried for three days in a
man's shoe may safely be wagered.
It is sure to win.
The locust tree is especially liable
to a stroke of lightning. Some say
Judas hanged himself on that tree.
Others suppose the crown of thorns
to have been made from it.
It is terribly unlucky to burn for
firewood a tree which has been struck
by lightning. This is sure to bring
misfortune upon the household.
Shoes have many portents connected
with them. If a heel is lost from
the shoe is forebodes a death in the
family "before the year is out." If
before they are worn you will "surely
step into trouble with them on your
feet."
New shoes must never be placed on
a shelf higher than the owner's head,
as it brings bad luck, and one shoe
should never be polished without the
other for fear of a bad accident or
perhaps sudden death.?Baltimore
