They are ( juick at imitation and have a talent for making up games in which they cleverly burlesque their eldera. A few days ago their inamma found hoy were playing "doctor." The youngest child was the patient, with head wrapped in a towel, and the ildor the physician, with a silk hat ind a cane The mother, unseen by the little ones, listened at the doorway. "I feels awful had," said the patient. "We'll fix all that," aaid the doctor briskly. "Lemine see your tongue." Out came the tiny red indicator. "Huxnl Hum! Coated," said the Joctor, looking very gravo indeed. Then, without a word of warning, the skilled physician hauled off and gave the patient a smart slup in the region of the ribs. "Ouch!" cried the sufferer. "Feel any pain there!" inquired the doctor. "Yes," said the patient. "1 thought so," said the healer. "How's the other side?" "It's all right," said the patient, sugjng away. Thereupon the doctor produced ?> small bottle filled with what locked like either breud or mud pills and placed it on the table. "Take one of these pellets," tho physician said, "dissolved in water, jvery 17 minutes alter-mit-ly." "How long mus' 1 take 'em?'* groaned the patient. "Till you die," said the doctor.

Near the boulevard, upon the Bite of the house 2UG Eighty-fourth street and the lot adjoining on the east, stood until a few years ago a large old fashioned frame dwelling in which Poe wrote that chapter of accumulated horrors, "The Facts In the Case of M. Valdemar." one ol the best examples of tiction which has the semblance of literal fact. Ilore, too. according to metropolitan belief, be composod tbo deathless poem which gave him his highest renown. It is noteworthy that, while several localities are now claiming the honor of haviDg been Poe's home when ho wrote "The Raven," Dr. Woods is producing specious reasons for his belief that Poe did not write it at all. The house stood high upon the rocks in the midst of a pleasing rural lundscapeand was occupied by the parents of Commissioner Brennan, with whom the poet and his family boarded. His room was a large, square apartment on tho second floor, whoso front windows looked across tho lordly Hudson to the heights of the Palisades, and here his desk was so placed that his eyes rested upon that inspiring view whenever he lifted them from hie page. This chamber was thereafter oalled the "Raven" room, and the belief of tbo Brennans and their neighbors that tho great poem was here comnosed is alleged to have been founded upon the statements oi Poe und Mrs. C'lomm.?Theodore F.

Owing to the largj mortality amons: monkevH duo to phthisis, it \ is woll known that, so far as lung troubles uro concerned, these animals are much like human beings, j j Jt is the general l>ehef, however, J . that the diseuse is contracted b7 j ' confinement and unnatural condii tions. Dr. Hubbard Windsor Mitchell reI cently prepared a pajier on phthisis | as it affected the wild baboons of i west Africa and some of our domes! tic animals. Of his African expe-1j I rience Dr. Mitchell says: i i "Some years ago, while I was vis- ' i iting west Africa, I spent consider- ! ! able time on the Kongo river, and : in the wild and unknown regions j bordering the south bank of that great etream I saw large numbers of baboons. "On several occasions, while we | were hunting for deer and other < game, a group of baboons would be j seen hovering over one of their number who appeared to bo unable to move. It was easy to approach , him, as he was too feeble to escape. ] His companions scampered away : j and watched me at a short distance, , with amusing curiosity. Inquiring j of the natives what the trouble waa, j I found that the baboons were frequently taken ill with some chest trouble which was similar to thut 1 from which the natives themselves 1 suffered. This I learned afterward | was phthisis, which is not uncomI mon among the blacks in the lower Kongo district. "In the wild and almost uninhabited country about 150 miles north of Cape Town, in South Africa, the common baboon is very numerous. An English officer who lived in that region told me the natives frequent- ' ly contracted phthisis on their visits | * to Uape l'own, ana it seomoa prooable that the sputum of this people, being carelessly voided in their gardens and about their houses, waa comiuunicnted to the baboons in some of their marauding expeditions. It was not an uncommon sight to see a sick baboon present- ! ing tho same symptoms as the na- 1 tives when suffering from phthisis. "I soon had an opportunity to verify this fact. One day, while! hunting in the adjacent hills, I came 1 across a baboon lying on the ground ' who was extremely emaciated and 1 bad a severe and violent cough. At ! that time the existence of the tuber- ! ole bacillus was not known, but I I felt sure that the animal was suffer- 1 ino from nulmonnrv tuberculosis." 1 Dr. Mitchell acids some of tbo re- j '< suite of his investigations among i our domestic animals and those used ! 1 for food. He says: "Tho common ox is frequently 1 < afflicted with pulmonary tuhercu- j I losis; so much so, in fact, as to j 1 make necessary a rigid surveillance j ' of our great abattoirs by competent j and authorized inspectors. Undoubt- 1 edly these animals contract the dis- | ease from their long and close proximity to man. < "The dog and tho cat are both extremely liable to pulmonary tuberculosis, and this would soem almost . a forogono fact from their intimate association with man. "The duck, the goose and the domestic fowl raroly, but occasionally, contract this disease. It is not im- s probable that other animals fall vie- e j tims to tuberculosis, but they do not j ^ 1 specially interest us. It is those ani- ( i ! mala with which we deal daily, arid {] ' whoso flesh and milk we consume as ] articles of food, that interest us most closely." Yoiin!i men. f have a preftv ^ line of neckwear.
