THE DOCTOR’S STORY
TRAGIC HISTORY OF JOE, HIS MOTHER
ANO THE BABY.
An Early ProfeMlonal Experience That
Wn« Brought Back to a New York Phy.
•icten’s Mind by the Story of a Marder
In a Bowery Saloon.
“It’s a queer world,’’said a New
York physician as be Ijid the morning
paper aside.
“What prompted that original re
mark?” asked a visitor.
“ Well, I was just reading an account
of a stabbing affair, and it suddenly oc
curred to me that I had known the man
who did the killing. ” The doctor set
tled back in his chair, and the visitor
waited for the story. After a few mo
ments it came.
“When I first began to practice, I did
an immense amount of charity work.
Every fellow does that at the start for
experience, and later he keeps it np for
humanity’s sake. I had pretty good suc
cess with children and made quite a
name down in the tenement districts—
and incidentally spent most of my pocket
money on my patients. That was before
the day of free sterilized milk for sick
babies and dozens of institutions for the
relief of the poor.
“One summer a woman began bring
ing a sick baby to me. A small boy,
about 3 years old, always came with
them and seemed to be fairly strong and
wall, but the baby was a pitiful little
thing, with a thin, white face and big
blue eyes With a look of pain in them.
The woman seemed an ignorant, honest
soul and generally wore a thick, dark
veil to hide a black eye or great blue
bruise. It’s easy enough to figure out a
thing like that, you know, but she never
spoke of her husband or complained, so
I didn’t ask any questions. She brought
the baby often, and each time it looked
more waxen and scrawny, but I couldn’t
find out that the child had any disease,
and all the symptoms pointed to a lack
of nourishment.
“At last one morning I said to the
mother that I believed the baby was
starving, and that I didn’t intend to
allow her to leave the office until she
had told me the truth about the affair.
She looked stubborn for a moment and
wouldn’t answer, but then the tears be
gan to roll down her bruised, discolor
ed cheeks, and she confessed that she
didn’t have enough food to give the ba
by. She worked hard, but her husband
drank and took every cent she made
and beat her every day into the bar
gain. She was fond of the brute in
spite of all that and told me a long sto
ry about the heavenly nature the fel
low had before he began to drink.
‘ ‘Finally I told her I would give her
a quart of milk every day. I wouldn’t
give her the money because I didn’t
covet the privilege of buying bad whis
ky for the husband, but I would pay
the nearest milk depot to supply her
with a quart a day. That would feed
the baby and leave some for little
Joe, who didn’t look quite so well as
he did when the two first began calling
on me. After that I didn’t hear any
more about the case for a week or two.
Then my friends turned up again. The
baby looked worse than ever, and the
woman’s face vflte a patchwork in blue
and green, but little Joe was quite rosy.
I didn’t understand. The baby was in a
bad condition, and I did what I could
for it. After I left my office I went
down to the milk depot. The man said'
my woman had had her quart of milk
every day.
“I puzzled over the thing that night
The next morning the trio were at my
office. The baby’s blue eyelids were
closed, and I thought at first that it
was not breathing, but found a faint
flutter I couldn’t see any reason for
such a state of things, so once more I
led the woman into my private office
and shut the door. Then I said:
“ ‘Now, look here. There’s a mystery
about this, and you’ve got to tell me
what’s the matter. That baby’s starv
ing to death, and I want to know what
you’ve done with the milk. ’
“The Woman looked scared and turn
ed pale between bruises. Then she gave
a sort of wail and jumped up, still
holding the baby.
“ ‘No, the baby didn’t have the
milk I* she said in a frantic sort of way.
‘I gave it to little Joe. There wasn’t
enough to feed them both, and Joe be
gan to get sick, and I loved him better
than I did the baby. I ain’t had a crust
to eat myself, but I couldn’t let Joe die.
The baby’s only a girl, and if she does
live she’ll be unhappy like me, and I
don’t love her like Ido Joe. I thought'
both of them were going to die, and I
couldn’t live without Joe, so I gave
him the milk and just let the baby have
a little. Maybe you think I ain’t suffer
ed watching the baby, but I couldn’t
spare Joe. I couldn’t. Some day he’ll
be a man, and I’ll be proud of him. A
man can do anything, but a girl would
just do what I’ve done. Joe shan’t die.’
“She was screaming the words out
and seemed almost crazy. The thing
was awful. It made me feel heartsick.
“ ‘Why, you idiot,’ I said, ‘why
didn’t you tell me? I’d have looked out
for Joe too. ’
“Just then the baby opened its eyes—
great, uncanny, weird eyes in the tiny
face. It stared at me in a miserable way
that made my heart come into my
throat Then all the light died out of
the eyes, but they still stared.
“There was no use saying anything
more to the mother. She sat down and
looked at the baby in a quiet stunned
way. Then she reached out and put an
arm around little Joe and held him
tight I told her I would keep on pay
ing for the milk as long as she wanted
it and she and Joe and the baby went
home,
“I never saw them again. When I
went to the house, they had moved, and
no one seemed to know where they had
gone. Joe’s the fellow who has just
murdered a man in a Bowery saloon. I
wonder what the girl would have been?
It’s a queer world. ” —New YoriTSun.

JAPANESE MUSIC. J
There'* Art In It That Cannot *W
To one who never heard it it is impos
sible to give a definite idea of Japanese
music, and to one who hears it for the
first time it must either repel or strange
ly attract, for its fantastic intervals and
fractional tones demand a totally new
sense of musical appreciation and call
into being a new set of musical sensa
tions. It is as if a hitherto dosed door
between sense gnd spirit had been sud
denly thrown open. One feels that if
reincarnation be true, one might through
this door afone remember and recon
struct those vanished existences. Only
in the tones of their own unguisu, a
bird which has but three notes, have I
heard anything so occult.
Japanese music is like Japanese art,
which, with its unperceived spirit,
sense and symbolism, its strange method
of brush handling, might seem merely
grotesque at first, but which gradually
reveals to the initiated eye mysteries
within mysteries of artistic form and
perception, until presently one finds
oneself encompassed by a new art
world, where technic is subordinated
to feeling and whose finest effects are
obtained through the art of omission.
As, for instance, in the greatest paint
ings of Fujiyama, the sacred mountain
itself is discovered to be the bare,
white, unpainted silk, as if color and
line could be but the boundaries and
outer confines of pure isolated idea. So
In Japanese music, its methods are not
ours, its climaxes cdme in crashes of si
lence, in sustained and soundless pause,
the notes subordinated to a silent some
thing, an inner' sense, which, while re
straining or even repressing sound, is
the very ecstasy of musical sensation.
In vain we attempted to analyze this
subtle effect, to reduce it to the terms
of our musical consciousness. It defied
and eluded us as spirit must always defy
and elude sense, and we perforce con
tented ourselves with following the
strange, rounded, isolated notes, sus
taining ourselves breathlessly on its
wonderful pauses and yielding to the
irregular cadenced charm of the singer,
whose face, at first so unremarkable,
seemed to grow of a shining effulgence
as she thus interpreted to ns an un
known world.—Washington Star.
IN LEAGUE WITH MAGIC.
Some Heathens Who Did Good Missionary
Work at a Pump.
Lobengula, the late king of the Mata-'
bele of South Africa, was afraid of Rev.
E. Carnegie, an English missionary at
Hope Fountain, several miles from Bu
lawayo. The Matabele warriors, on the
other hand, looked with suspicion on
the missionary and all his works, but
they knew better than to molest the
friend of their king.
Time after time in passing the mis
sion house they noticed a force pump at
work, supplying water for the family
and for irrigating the garden. Not un
derstanding what it was for, their un
tutored minds concluded it was some
sort of magio. It .was “intagati, ”or
bewitched, and they watched to see
how it was managed that they might
turn the white man’s magio against
’himself.
One moonlight night a party of picked
warriors repaired to the bank of the
stream where the pump was. On try
ing it they were jubilant to find that
two men at either handle could do the
trick. Turn and turn about they kept
the pump going for two hours, deter
mined that the missionary should have
all the magic he wanted and a balance
in hand.
Then, exhausted, they went home
ward, ignorant of the fact that they
had filled the missionary’s tank to over
flowing. His good wife hoped that a
similar supply of “magio” might be
furnished every week. New York
Mail and Express.
Artificial Cream.
A cooking teacher tells of a manufac
tured cream that is worth knowing
about in emergencies, when the real
article is not to be had. It is made from
the whites of two eggs, beaten stiff,
w\th a tablespoonful of sugar and a tea
spoonful of cornstarch. Half a cup of
cold milk is added by degrees and all
beaten together very stiff. A cup of
milk is heated over the fire, with a
small butter ball melted in it. This is
allowed to come just to the boiling
point, when it is removed to a cooler
part of the stove and the beaten egg
mixture added. When it has all thick
,ened very slightly to about the consist
ency of thick cream, it is taken off and
strained and cooled. This may be used
as cream for serving with fresh or pre
served fruits, but it is needless to add
it will not whip.—New York Post.
Literature on a Ferryboat.
During the last seven days the follow
ing novels jwere read on a Hoboken fer
ryboat by shopgirls on their way to
work: “Poor, but Beautiful, ” “All For
Love of a Fair Face,” “When His Love
Grew Cold,” “Mrs. Hathaway’s Re
venge,” “The Story of a Blighted
Love,” “Risen; or, Back as From the
Dead.”—New York Commercial Ad

Britiah Navy Salute*.
A salute in the British navy between
two ships of equal rank is made by fir
ing an equal number of guns. If the
vessels are of unequal rank, the superior
fires the fewer rounds. A royal salute
consists of (1) in firing 21 great guns,
(2) in the officers lowering their sword
points and (8) in dipping the colors.
Phillips Brooks once said that “the
shortness of life is bound up with its
fullness. It is to him who is most ac
tive, always thinking, feeling, working,
caring for people, that life seems short.
Strip a life empty and it will seem long
enough.”
The finest complexions in the world
are said to be in the Bermudas. This is
accounted for by the fact that the in
habitants live chiefly on onions.
Z ff.LUI- Sea ? i| |--
In the latter part of the mesozoic age
there was a great inland ocean, spread- I
ing over a large part of the present con
tinent. The lands then above water I
were covered with a flora peculiar to I
the times and were inhabited by some I
of the animals which later distinguish- I
ed the cenosoic age. , In the seaa were
reptiles, fishes and turtles ot gigantic
proportions, armed for offense or de- I
feuse. There were also oysterliko bi
valves, with enormous shells, throe or
four feet in diameter, the meat of which
would have fed many people.
In time this grout ocean, swarming
with vigorous lifo, disappeared. Moun
tain ranges and plains gradually arose,
casting forth the waters and leaving the
monsters to die and bleach in tertiary
anna As the waters remaining divided
into smaller tracts they gradually lost
their saline stability. The stronger mon
sters gorged on the v eaker tribes until
they, too, stranded on rising sand bars
or lost vitality end. perished as the wa
ters freshened. In imagination we can
picture the strongest, bereft of their
food supply at hu>t and floundering in
the shallow pools until all remaining
mired or starved. It would be interest
ing to know how much of the great
cretaceous ocean forms a part if any of
the vast oceans of today.—Popular
Science.
Surgery on Snake*.
Snakes in captivity, it seems, some
times find difficulty in getting rid of
the skin which is shed every year, and
an Australian diamond snake in the
Bombay museum appeared likely to
succumb. It was quite blind and re
fused all food.
A European, sympathizer therefore
pressed the native snake keeper into
service to hold the snake, and himself
with a pair of sharp pointed scissors
performed the delicate and risky opera
tion of clipping away the membrane
which adhered to the eyes.
J. M. Phipson, editor of The Journal
of the Bombay Natural History society,
performed a far more dangerous opera
tion a couple of years ago. His patient
was a large hamadryad, or king cobra,
the moat vicious and poisonous of all
Indian snakes, and a most powerful
creature to boot. Mr. Phipson gripped
the king cobra round the neck, and a
native literally held on for his life fur
ther down, and when the reptile’s
straggles were over a third man, armed
with a surgeon’s scalpel, removed eight
layers of membrane from each eye.—
Sketch.
Gladstone** Eloquence.
His persuasive witchery of eloquence
will be poorly understood by generations
to come, says The Atlantic. It is not
found in the word, the phrase, the argu
ment or the thought. It came for ths
most part from the spirit that warmed
the breath of the man, sounded in his
voice, looked out of his eyes. It was
personal to him, and largely part of the
moral qualities that seemed to be his
greater distinction. No man of his day
has had such power of persuasion as he.
It may not be too bold to say that no
man of any time has surpassed him in
that power. Yet he was never logically
strong. His argumentative writings, the
most carefully and deliberately com
posed, show defects of reasoning that
are marked. From controversy with an
antagonist like Professor Huxley he was
sure to come with wounds. Yet his
masterful influence over minds of every
class is a certain fact It was once said
by somebody that “Gladstone could per
suade anybody to anything—himself
included,” and the epigram carries no
doubt a significant truth.
Prtuare of the Sea.
There are spots in the ocean where
the water is five miles deep If it if
true that the pressure of the water on
any body in the water is one pound to
the square inch for every twp feet of
the depth, anything at the bottom of
one of the “five mile holes” would have
a pressure about it of 18,200 feet to ev
ery square inch. There is nothing of
human manufacture that would resist
such a pressure. That it exists there is
no doubt It is known that the pressure
on a well corked glass bottle at the
depth of 800 feet is so great that the
water will force its way through the
pores of the glass. It is also said that
pieces of wood have been weighted and
sunk in the sea to such a depth that the
tissues have become so condensed that
the wood has lost its buoyancy and
would never float again. It could not
be even made to burn when dry.—Chi
cago Chronicle.
An Arizona Hair Cut.
“Doesn’t it disturb you when they
have a shooting scrape next door?” ask
ed the tenderfoot who was undergoing
an Arizona hair cut.
“Disturb nothin!” answered the bar
ber. “It gener’ly makes it easier. ”
At this juncture the shooting began
at Red Mike’s saloon next door. The
tenderfoot’s hair rose on end, and the
barber trimmed it as expeditiously as if
he were shearing a hedgehog.—Chicago
