TVs Eci tfaat Never Hatch.
Ixiqkin* tar beyond the pment,
With the whole world in his scops;
He is grasping at to-morrow,
that phantom none can catch;
Ibday is lost He's waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
Thaw's an eld raatv over yonder,
With a worn and weary face, ,
With searching, anxious features.
And weak uncertain pace.
He is living in the future,
With no desire h catch
The golden now. He's waiting
For the eggs that .never hatch.
There's a world sf men and women.
With their life’s work yet undone, t
Who are sitting standing, moving,
Beneath the same great sun;
Ever eager for the future.
But not content ta snatch
The Present. They ore waiting
For the eggs that never hatch.
THE SURGEON'S STORY.
I opened the window .of my office and
looked out upon the distant lightning, at
Its awful, red rehearsal in the inky west.
JHeither rumbling thunder nor furious
iiash of wind nor volleys of hail proclaim
ed the advance of the marvelous midsum
jaertempest. It came on silently, and
flhe lightning blades were doing their
deadly work with the flash and silence
of steel.
The area of the storm covered less than
a mile, and--the altitude of the cloud
could not have been more than half of
that distance. Once overhead the
'mighty cloud came to an ominous pause
before pouring forth its varied forms of
vengeance. Then the bolts began to rush
' through the air with the sibilant noise of
•ley-rockets, and the attendant peals
seemed to paralyze the very pulse and
Jorevef silence the heart of the listener.
One bolt descended close by, plowing in
Ha vivid progress oblong gulfs in an ap
ple orchard, as if digging graves for its
prospective victims; and during all this
glare and din my night bell rang furious
ly
“What 1" thought L “A summons on
each a night as this! Surely it must be
an argent case that could not wait until
this most phenomenal of thunder tempests
had passed over.”
As I left the rear office I could but ob
serve the play of the blue lightniugs
under the thresholds of the doors, like a
viper writhing in flames of blue vitriol,
i So deafening ware the wild demon
strations J nature that the messenger
could ljardly make himself understood,
I learned .at length that the house of
'Judgyflur.a'.kyT been struck and
flfts BtaucUy ild been
dangerously prostrated by the shock.
I remembered Miss glanchoHungpr-
whom I had at .wvera[jßclftl
gatherings, as being very Beautiful and
amiable and a beaming Star in_socicty.
> I found UtTUUconscious. with
te UPI &^ r J rst
’''•feoffee fc' was uisugurcment. But she
sttlhed too superlatively lovely for the
blasting touch of lightning; but she was
safe from this dread physical evil. The
blinding flash and terrific thunder peal
had overpowered her to unconsciousness.
In his excitement the messenger had
made an erroneous statement. Not the
house but a stately elm had been struck
and cleft in twain. Miss Blanche had
just opened the door to observe the dire
ful aspect of the hour when the bolt de
scended and she fell senseless in the hall
way.
• , The scene at the bedside was a strange
sadly impressive one. At jts foot sat
tljo venerable*.TUa~. Hungerfonf. Ex
treme age had impaired hiT*sTn?tf jivldjant
faculties, and he was now nearly aft im
becile. At his ado stood Mrs,
1W; a tall, sevefejiaced'woman, i
somber, green goggles, while from her
neck hung an ostentatious medal, indi
'cating her membership of some reform.,
association, w- rf '
- wTjjys~?i!?ycalidll this remarkable woman
made upon me is lifelong and unfading.
The combination of artificial green eyes,
a perfectly erect and inflexible attitude,
'a narrow head, with aquiline nose, and a
certain indescribable air of eager watch
fulness called to my mind * a hen eagle,
•met on a crag, and I could compare her
to nothing else. ,
I was astonished to see in the mother
of the beautiful Blanche such an austere
and unattractive person, but my astonish
ment subsided when I learned that she
was my fair patient’s stepmother, the
judge's second wife.
After performing other duties of my
profession I raised the suffering young
lady’s head and proceeded to the use of
restoratives.
Soon the beautiful patient opened her
eyes ■woudcringly, murmured “Thank
yon!” and then I suffered her noble head
to return to the pillow.
“Do you feel pain anywhere?” was
whispered.
She turned her eyes in the direction of
her left shoulder.
I raised the sleeve of her robe, aud lo!
there on that alabaster arm, near the
shoulder, was thu perfect iiupriut of a
tree.
The "lightning dish had photographed
upon her fair skin the stricken elm in
miniature!
1 left further instructions us to the care
iff the charming young patient, and then,
in the face of the fecblo rcmon.tnuioo of
Judge litmgerford, I took my departure.
1m due time I hoard of Blanche llun
grrfnrd'a complete convalescence, and 1
must confess the agreeable tidings gave
me ptruKiin that was not altogether of a
|iruffwsioual character. Site win such a
*w*>ct | tali' ut, and 1 had never forgotten
the look of gratitude site gave nil when
she wl|i|K'rad "Thank jiai!” And what
it Nturti di lighting to a mail’s heart titan
• jpwttifui i* pi civil li'gu s beautiful
ardently desired—*. city practice. I be
came associated with the distinguished
and beloved Dr. ‘Burtholomew, and upon
his decease I succeeded to his large and
lucrative medical -Clientage.
Upon several occasions I had conferred
•with my esteemed professional brethren
upon the subject of lightning photogra
phy, and, mentioning no names, out of
delicate motives, I. cited the case of a
handsome young woman who was pros
trated by the electric fluid. The lolt
blasted a contiguous .elm tree, and the
tree was perfectly and artistically photo
graphed upon her arm. I found that
eases wen*not unfreqwent where inani
mate objects had been photographed by
lightning upon animate ones. One sur
geon vouched for a case where a black,
oak, .thunder-riven, was photographed
upon the flank of a white horse.
Musing upon this subject one cold win
ter evening, I was summoned to the door
by the captain of the police precinct.
Hit business was thrilling and altogether
too sorrowful. The fast express, behind
time aad running a mile a minute, had
been derailed by a displaced switch on
the outskirts of the city.
The destruction and mutilation had
been frightful. The St. Mary’s hospital
was filled with the wounded, and the of
ficers of the police were expeditiously
summoning a corps of city surgeons.
The scene at the hospital was indescrib
able—and, indeed, if describable, there
would be but little profit in the portrayal
of such misery. An eager crowd, many
of whom had friends in the ill-fated train,
had assembled. Prudence compelled the
closing of the doors against them, but
their anxious, tragic faces were visible at
the windows, looking as if the catastro
phe had imparted a common expression
to them all. Nurses and stewards were
hurrying here and there with subdued
footfalls. Now, there is no preference
among surgeons at such a time. Go to
work at once and render assistance to the
nearest case at hand is the rule.
I heard a low moan at my feet. It
came from the lips of a woman. I look
ed upon the cot. Such a lovely, but
pain-vexed, countenance! It was a case
of fractured arm—a compound fracture—
and the attendant fever had already set
in. The wounded member of that grace
ful body must be set at once. I examin
ed the broken arm. Stars of fate! Near
the shoulder was a miniature tree. My
beautiful patient was again Blanche Hun
gerford.
I need not tell you with what consum
mate tenderness I handled that shapely
arm; but I could not avert the delirium
that followed the fever. Sad as it was to
see her delirious, I could not suppress a
thrill of joy when she more than once
pronounced my name. In ten days the
fever tide slowly turned and death had
■ ,tbn beautiful from\ the worms of
the dust. *" '•*—
whispered words, as of old,
-^nhygu
I nave uefotoasked this question:
‘ “What is more delighting to a man’s
heart than a grateful expression from a
beautiful woman?”
I now answer it. A grateful expres
sion from a beautiful womdK, mingled
with a look of love. And I read—
Love in her luminous eyes!
When Blanche was nearly recovered I
said to her:
“My darling, lightning and calamity
brought us together. Let love and sun
shine prevent our parting.”
And she only murmured, in the dear,
old way, “Thank you!” and then I felt
her fair, white arms twining about my
neck.

Treatment of Kroit-ftittea ftaane >nt
Tee*.
Dr. Lapatiu, in the proceedings of the
Caucasian Medical Society, advises that
fingers and toes which have been slightly
frost-bitten, and which subsequently
suffer from burning, itching, and prick
ing sensations, should be painted, at first
once, and afterward twice a day, with a
mixture of dilute nitric acid and pepper
mint water in equal proportions. After
:this application has been made for three
or four days, the skin becomes darkened
and the epidermis is shed, healthy skin
appearing under it. The cure is ef
fected in from teg to fourteen days. The
author has found this plan very effectual
among soldiers, who were unable to wear
their boots in consequence of having had
frozen feet. They were, in this way,
soon rendered capable of returning to
duty. —British Medical Journal.
Css Ought to Know Vourself.
If you will persist in burning for a
long time a kerosene oil lamp, or filling
your bed-room with heated gas, you need
not prepare to retire with very strong
hopes of getting a good night’s rest. If
you will allow a vase of flowers to remain
there over one day without changing the
water, or, if you will have any
work in your room, instead of using a
portable washstand, basin and pitcher, it
is all to no purpose that you insist that
you are very prudent in regard to your
health. As to the question “How much
outside air shall I let into my room?” we
have nothing to say. If you are an in
valid, your doctor must tell you; if you
are well, and enjoy a sound mind, you
can judge for yourself. You know, oi
ought to know, how much you can bear.
Only see to it that the air is fresh; that
what you admit is an improvement on
what you send out.— Qood Housekeeping.
A Stimulant and a ZVarcotlc.
What meaning should we attach to
the words stimulant and narcotic? A
’stimulant may be defined as that which
ministers to healthy activities, support
ing the processes of life in health and
restoring them in disease. A stimulant
acts chiefly in removing or counteracting
depressing influences—it may be pain,
fatigue, or a morbid sensibility. Tim's
mustard, applied externally in inflamma
tion, is at times a true stimulant, and
tends to restore healthy vital action by
freeing the circulation and the nerves
from the depressing influences of pain.
A cup of te i, also, is in its place a true
stimulant, r&toriug the natural tone of
the central nervous system. On the
other hand, a narcotic is a substance
which by poisoning the nervous system
produces gradual vital
actions. Under~nareGtics,' intelligence,
volition, reason, consciousness, even life
itself are lost; and these are the out
ward and, v isi{|le'sigi?so?*if process tak
ing place witiiih the nervous system,
where the powers of life are stubbornly
fighting against a poison, and yielding
as it were inch by inch to its invasion.
Stimulation, then, is a healthy pro
cess, while narcosis, the condition in
duceij by narcotics, is essentially an un
healthy state, being a paralysis of na
tural activities, more or less. —Nineteenth
Century. ■

A Glimpse of Shanghai.
The conservatism of the Chinese char-;
acter and the extremest point of provin
cialism is instanced in the story told of
the residents within the walls of the na
tive city of, Shanghai, writes the Shang
hai correspondent of the St. *Louis Qlobe-
Democrat. The city has three gates—
the north, south, and west ones—and
many of the people living at the south
gate have never been as far as the north
gate and could not understand the dialect
of the inhabitants there if they did go.
One nation could not cliff or more from
another than the Chinese from the Japan
ese if they lived 20,000 nines apart in
stead of only 200 miles, a(d one Is all
wrong if he thinks that having seen Jap
anese cities he can know what a Chinese
one will be like. While the Japanese are
- ,-Sr -c
tiio cleanest people on the face of the
earth and far ahead of the English for
eternally bathing and scrubbing them
selves, the Chinese arc the vdry dirtiest.
The trim, exquisite little toj houses of
the Japanese along wide streets arc t_hy
greatest contrast to the filthy abodes of
the with them dirt floors, mud
and bamboo-woven walls, ;pd streets
often less than five feet wide; from wall
to wall. Overhead is a forest of gilt let
ters, gorgeously colored sigm and ban
ners that fairly hide the sky. The nar
row streets, with shop fronts all open
above a low counter, sewn like passages
in some fantastic exhibition hall with
booths or “spaces” close together. Mere
crevices in the walls correspond to alleys,
and looking up them or down the tunnel
of a street before one it is eafy to realize
what is meant by “swarms oi people” or
“masses of human beings.” j.ll through
old Shanghai the people arc packed as if
at a mass-meeting, aud one h;(B to dodge
into shops or flatten himself against a
