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 vertiser. 1 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 Tribune.' ■■■ .’''y '‘ , Ha Has N**n Thera.
