It Conlt Not Happen Now.
Hr* country ways had turned to street,
And long ere we were born,
A lad and, lass would chance to meet,
And often she’d neglect her task,
The willows bowed to nudge the brook,
The cowslips nodded gay,
And he would look and she would look,
And both would look away.
Yet each—and this is so absurd—
Would dream about the other,
And she would never breathe a word
To that good dame, her mother.
Our girls are wiser now.
’Twas very quaint, ’twas very strange,
Extremely strange, you must allow.
Dear me! how modes and customs change;
It would not happen now.
Next day that idle, naughty lass
Would re-arrange her hair,
And ponder long before the glass
Which bow she ought to wear;
“Why do you blush like that!”
And seldom care to chat,
And make her mother frown, and ask,
"Why do you blush like that?”
And how she’d haunt with footsteps slow
That mead with cowslips yellow,
Down which she’d met a week ago t
That stupid, staring fellow.
Our girls aro wiser now.
Twas very quaint, ’twas very strange,
Extremely strange, you must allow.
Dear inel how modes and customs change!
It could not happen now.
And as for him, that foolish lad,
He’d hardly close an eye,
And look so woe-begone and sad,
He’d make his mother cry,
“He goes,” she’d S3y, “from bad to worse
My boy so blithe and brave.
Last night I found him writing verse
About a lonely grave!"
And, lol next day her nerves he’d shoi
With labgn and song, and caper;
And there!—she'd find a golden lock
Wrapped up in tissue paper.
Our boys ore wiser now.
"Twas very quaint, ’twas very strange.
Extreme/^ strange, you mtikt allow.
AN ENGAGING DOCTOR.
BY Cl.AHA AUGUSTA.
Mr. Charles Marion had ridden a
vicious Jiorse, against the express pro
hibition of everybody who knows any
thing about it, and a broken arm was
the consequence.
Squire Selwyn’s black horse, Thunder,
was well known in tho vicinity, and his
extraordinary faculty for multiplying
broken limbs and broken heads had
brought him into surh disreputo that
the squire was obligod to keep him be
cause nobody would purchase him.
Charlos was tho squire’s nephew—a
young man of twenty-five or six,
and quite as conceited as young men
usually are. He had come on from tho
city for a month’s vacation, and having
riddoa Thunder, and got his arm
broken, was safely housed away in tho
great cool spare chamber to await tho
coming of a physician.
“How very unfortunato it is,” said
Kate f?jlwyn, entering the chamber just
as Charles’ small stock of patience was
exhausted; “but Dr. Stono has gone
out of town for a week, aad loft Dr.
Forney to take his place.’ 1
“Send for Dr. Forney then,” ex
claimed Charles, impatiently.
“Ihavo already done so, but I expect
you will decapitate mo for it. You
know yon detest strong minded women,
and Dr. Forney •”
“Of course I do. A strong minded
v^orann ought to bo put in a straight
jacket, Hut what lias that got to do
with Dr. Forney?”
“Oh, hero sho is!” cried Kate, and
the door opened to amit a rather slight
young woman of about two and twonty.
She was rosy and pretty, with soft
loose curls of yellowish liuir, a pair of
vory mischievous brown eyes, and a sot
of teeth whito as pearls. Sho showed
thorn when sho smiled, aud Charles
said spitefully to himself that she smiled
for that exclusive purpose.
“A pationt for you, doctor,” said
Kate, indicating Charles with a nod.
“Good gracious! 1 ’ cried tho pntiont.
“You don't protond to say that this
young lady is a doctor?"
“Dr. Fornoy, Mr. Marvin,” said Kate,
gravely.
“I bog your pardon,” snid Charles, a
littlo haughtily, “I should prefer to
have my arm attended to by a—a gen
tleman.”
“Iam very sorry for your sake that I
am not a gentleman,” said Dr. Forney,
bowing. “I regret it extremoly; but I do
not see how I can help it.”
“No, no; of course not. But do you
think you have courngo enough to sot a
broken limb?”
“Try mo and then answer the ques
tion yoursolf.”
Without moro ado tho doctor pro
ceeded to business; and though Charles
was as nervous as any old woman, the
limb was skilfully set, and tho pationt
quieted down to sleep before Dr. Alico
Forney left him. "
Whou Charles awoke ho was prepared
to bo very much outraged.
“I doclaro it is abominable,” ho said
to Kate, “to think of that littlo bit of
pink and whito femininity being a doc
tor 1 Why, she looks as if sho was just
fit to sort worsted and work blue dogs
on yellow background. A woman with
a profession is simply disgusting. Aad
the idea of that girl going about and
setting broken limbs and giving physic!
Faugh!”
“She’s a pietty, genteel girl,” said
old Mrs. Sslwyn, warmly, “aad don’t
spend half her tiino in dawdling around
and curling her hair. Sho means to
make herself useful, sho says; and so
sho does. Sho gave mo something for
my nowrollogy that cured mo right up.”
“And sho is so gontlc, and has a kind
word for every one,” said Kate.
“I can’t help that,” replied Charles;
“she can’t be a true woman aud usurp
tho profession of a man. Goodnoss! I
wonder how a fellow would feel making
love to her!”
“Supposo you try it and find out?”
said [Cnf,o, v.-it'kvHy. "<
“Me? Humph! I wouldn’t mhrry
an nngd if she had a profession
Iloavon deliver mo from your strong-
minded women.”
But notwithstanding Charlos’ disgust
of professional females, ho flourished
finely under Dr. Forney’s caro. Tho
doctor camo every day, and her calls
wero very lengthy for professional
onos. Mr. Marion had so much to toll
about his slooploss nights, and hn
weary days, and the littlo twinges of
pain in his arm, and tho way hi3 head
felt, and so on and so forth, that Dr.
Fornoy's forenoons were generally half
absorbed in tkeso visits to her squeam
ish patient. «
One day tho doctor camo later than
usual, and seemed a littlo hurried in
her manner. Sho did not give Charles'
headache so much sympathy as usual,
and when ho began to talk about his
norves sho looked out of tho window
and apparently did not hoar him.
Charles felt wronged aud insulted.
What did ho pay a physician for but to
comfort him and givo him sympathy?
Especially when that physician was a
woman.
“You will bo well attended now,”
said tho doctor, rising to go. Dr.
Stone has returned and will seo you
before night.”
“llang Dr. Stono!” returned Charles,
irreverently.
"Oh, no! I thought that you had
moro confidence in men, as physician^,
than in women.”
“AVho told you so?”
“I had received that impression. And
I thought you would bo delighted that
ho had returned.”
“Well, I am not."
“Oh! Indeed?”
“No.”
“You will do well enough now, Mr.
Marion, under any circumstances.
Your arm is in a vory good condition,
and in a few days •”
“I tell you it aches horridly, and my
head, too. Seems a3 if you might have
some pity for me.”
“Of course I pity you very much; but
I cannot stay to toll you so now. I am
rather busy at this time. I have a great
many things to get ready, you know.”
“For what? Ready for what?”
gaspod Charlos. “Good hoavensl you
don't mean to say that you aro going to
bo married ? ’
Dr. Fornoy laughed.
“No. I am going west”
“For how long?”
“An indefinite period. For all my
life, if-1 nm pleased with the country.
You know I have my fortune to make,
and there is a very good opening in
Wisconsin.”
Something rose up in Charles Mar
ion’s throat and nearly suffocated him.
Ho put out his hand and drew Dr. For
noy to his side^ And the doctor looked
ombarrassed and blushed, just as any
other girl would have done under such
circumstances.
“Don’t go!” said Charles, eagerly.
“If it is an opening you are looking for,
there is one noaror homo!"
And he openod his arms, entirely for
getting that ono of them was unfit for
service.
‘ 'Mr. Marion I”
“Alice, Ilovoyou! There—it is out,
thank Heaven! I love you with my
whole soul!”
“Nonsense!” said Alice. “II .w a
fellow must feel making love to a fe
male doctor 1”
“You overheard my insane talk?
Well, never mind. I don’t caro a par
ticle. It will givo you a chance to ex
ercise your spirit of forgiveness. For,
Alice, my darling, you are going to for
give mo, and you are not going about
setting any moro broken bones, for
broken hearts aro worse than broken
bone’, and you will kill more than you
cure.”
Dr.Forncy succumbed to Mr.Marion’s
logic, and became his wife as soon as
he was able to be about his business.
Sho has not practiced any since her
marriage, and Charles has quite over
come his prejudico for women who fol
low professions.—[New York Weekly.

Under Wajer Few AtywtM.
Tho question has often been asked,
liow long is it possible for a man to re
main under water? and in order to
answer it M. Licossagnc, a well known
European scientist, has been making
some close olservations. His chief sub
ject was a celebrated diver, wlin, it was
alleged, could remain under water for
four minutes and fourteen seconds,
which it must be confessed, is a great
advauce in duration over the period
commonly bolieved to prove fatal to a
completely immersed person. The
study of this man revealed certain in
teresting anti important points. In tho
first place, ho expelled all the air from
his lungs—that is, all tho air which
breathing can expel from tho lungs, for
there always remains in tho lung3 an
amount over and abovo that which can
be exhaled in tho deepest expiration—
then ho filled his lungs as ccmplctely
as possible and dived. While in the
water he swallowed about a litro of tho
fluid. On emerging from tho water it h
said ho “snorted” frequently, while his
face was congested, his heart-beats
slow and fceblo and bis eyes flushed.
Women as Poultry-Keepers.
There is profit for woman in poultry-
keeping, and moro of them should give
it their attention. Fannie Field, the
noted AYestera poultry writer aud
authority, tells of a farmer's wife sho
knows of who keeps 100 liens, and
makes a net profit on them of §207 cash
every year. Sho says this is not an ex
ceptional case; that there are liuudreds
of women who have clone as well, many
who liavo dono better, and thousands
who aro making money in the poultry
business; in fact, about every woman
who is in tho business at all maker,
money out of it.—[Now York AVitacss.
Can Taint AVitli Both Bands at Once.
James McCloskcy, a Now York paint
er, claims that ho can paint with his
left hand quito as well as with his right,
and that he can tioish a job in half tho
timo taken by most men simply because
ho can paint with both hands at once,
lie knocked an employor down the
other day becauso ho refused to pay him
double wages for a job which had boon
done with both hand’. Tho magistrate
beforo whom lio was taken did not
know just what to do under tho circum
stances, but finally agreed to lot Me-

A Toothpick Factory.
A toothpick factory, ttys the Timber
ing!, it ono of tho flourishing wood
working establishments at Harbor
Springs, Mich., and it is ono of the
largest factoriss of the kind in the
country. White birch is exclusively
usqd in tho manufacture of the tooth
picks, and about 7.500 000 of the handy
little splintora are turned out daily.
The logs are sawed up into bolts each
twenty-eight inches in length, thon
thoroughly steamed and cut up into
veneer. The veneer is cut into long
ribboni three inches, in width, and
these ribbons, eight or ten of them at a
time, are run through tho toothpick
machinery, coming out at the other oad,
the perfect pieces falling into one bas
ket, tho broken pieces and refuse fall
ing into anothor. The picks are packed
into boxos, 1500 in a box, by girls,
mostly comely-locking young squaws,
and are then packed into cases, and
finally into big boxes, ready for ship
ment to all parts of tho world. The
white birch toothpicks aro very neat
and clean in appearance, sweot to tho
taste, and there is a wide market for
them. Tho goods se’.t at the factory
at $1.90 a ca-o of 150.000 picks, or 100
small boxes, each containing 1500, and
the small boxos retail at 5 cents each,
or 300 picks for 1 cent, at which rato
almost everybody can afford to take a
fresh toothpick after each meal.
FEABLS OF THOUGHT.
Remora# of conicience is like aa oM

No blessing cqutls the possession of
a stout heart.
Difficulties sre overcome by diligence
and assiduity.
Timidity is a stumbling block and
turns the feet to ruin.
The way to do good is to be good.
Thero must be light, thon it will shine.
Death is as the foreshadowing ©8
life. We dip that wo may die no more.
If you cast away ono cross you wiH.
doubtless find another, and oerhapa a
heavier one.
Our character is but the stamp'on ora 1
souls of tho freo choice of good and

crawls or flies, but has some superior

Formidable Spiders.
An enormous spider was louad cling
ing to a door curtain, and when alarmed
emitted a grating souad, whether
with its mm|^ffiles or with its feet
ac- dtf
move from tho spot wMYo it was until
it was killed with the blow of a slick.
It is quite two inches in length and
half an inch in breadth, and the two
sogments of the body are equal in size.
It is distinctly shert-legged for a spider,
but the eight legs are viry strong and
hoavy. The body, too, ii covered with
fine, short hair, and is all of a dark
brown color. The two fangs are like a
sparrow’s claws and exceedingly sharp,
and if stretched out straight would,
with the floshy part, measure nearly
half aa inch each. I find ^difficult to
convey an adequate impression of th)
terrible and formidable appearance of
the monster. The common large run
ning spider, to be found in every house
in Calcutta, unhesitatingly tackles and
destroys the largest cockroach. Judged
by ihnt standard that spider ought to
make its prey of u sraal. bird or mouse.
How to Cook Dried Fruits.
If ycu will consider that dried fruit
is fresh fruit, with tho water dried cur
of it and more or le.s dirt gathered
upon its surface, two things will occur
to ycu to do, to make it become some
thing like fresh fruit. First wa-h it
thorou ghly, using, il necessary, several
changes of water, but be sure to get th •
fruit cloan. Thau put it to soak in
clean water, completely covering the
fruit, and aa i:.ch of depth above it.
Soak at least 12 hours, and if the fruit
does not plump cut very full, keep
it in until it will swell no more. Don’t
change the water in soaking, aud cook
in tho water the fruit was soaked in.
Boil gontly for twenty minutes, then
sot on back of stove to simmer until
tho fruit is dono and tender, usiug
sugar in cooking according to taste.
Mixed apricots, peaches aud prune’,
with a few plum, to lead spiciness,
d make a delicious dish.

Poisoned by Wool.
Frederick Neinhauser, who was em
ployed by Peter AA’olI & Sons as a sor
ter of hair in their establishment i»
Philadelphia, has died from what isr©
prominent physicians, who were called
in »t tho lost pronounced. 1*

that he contracted ■‘"tbp disca-e front
handling hair from on animal that hat^
died of anthrax.
Tho poisou had been apparently ab
sorbed into tho man’s system through
n slight scratch m tho neck. Dr. Fcr-
gusou, who attended him, says that he
nevr saw a caso of tho kind before.
I but when ho first read about it years
I before, he had concluded that as h«
j was practising in a manufacturing dis-
j trict, he might have such a caso some
j time, and so ha l uever forgotten ita
! description. The disease, be said, was
j fatal in most case9 unless taken at the
very outset, and he quoted to his visi-
I tor a number of authorities on the 3ub-
! j° ct -.
| This disease lias created more talk in
j England than it has m this country.
I In the London Liucet of lS'?! there is a
! report made by John Spenr to the Local
i Government 1> ard on tho so-called
i wool-sorters’ disease in Brsdfird. In
one case he s-.ys that 11 men sorted Ci2
bales in 12 days. Seven of these men
I suffered from the disease, three of theta
' dying. Mr. Spear points out that unless
! the first washing of the supposed nox
ious wool is thorough it will not be ef-
: lective. Additional precautions con
sist in the freo ventilation of the sort
ing room’, separation from the store
rocm aud improved measures for dis
posing of the dust, r.s well ns increased
attention to cleanliness or. the part of
the men.
Odd Numbers,
General llcvcy. Governor-elect of
Indiana, is a linn believer, asserrs the
Chicago Herald, in the efficacy of odd
numbers. His campaign was conduct
ed on tho theory that throe is decided
ly lucky, ilo permitted but three ©J
! tho gas jets over tho tablo in bis com
mittee-room to bo lightod at once, and
turned out a lourth ono on several oc
casions when ho came in and found
that liis clerks had lighted more than
! tho regulation number. He employed,
three dorks in his room at the Denison,
seut out his campaign documents three
times a day, made but three engage
ments for speaking in any ono week,
and when about leaving tho city invari
ably had the “cal.” at the clork’s desk
fixed for un odd hour, irrespective ©f
the timo at when tho train loft the city.
It is related of hint that, ia his canvas
of tho First District ia 1SS0, ha visited
each country three times, made three
speeches in each and confined his labor*
to three weeks in each month.
