And yet. if you depended upon much of the

something practical, i* a fitful and fantastic

street and turned around on the park
side of Park row at one o’clock yesterday
afternoon. He spread consternation
among the women and children whom
he met, and even the men did not feel
entirely liappy until after he hod passed
by, for even the most obtuse could see
that he was b-a-a-d all the way through.
A blue shirt with a huge rolling collar
covered his big chest, the bottoms of ins
trousers were stuck , m . the , tops of im
heavy cowhide boots, a slouch hat with
a gray «>rd und tassels was upon Ins
head, mid he snapped his fingers reck-
les-sly as he sauntered.
Anybody could see that he waa a hard-
hearted wretch, for this fact was written
in his cold gray eyes, in liis long black
moustache, aud in the wide belt that
held his trousers about his waist. Taken
altogether steeped he looked like a man who was

his appearance on suoh a and bright Easter

tattered hat held out to passers-by. The
hard-hearted villain eyed the cripple
with a venomous stare, causing the lat¬
ter to shrink partly into the gutter.
“Plough me with a 44-calibre bullet if
this ain’t tough,” said the ruffian, as he
thrust his hands into his pockets and
raised his shoulders until they were on
a level with his ears. “Aiu’t yer got no

cuffs than pettin’, is there ?”
The deadly ruffian’s voice had some¬
how softened, and there was a moisture
in his eyes that was unaccountable in so
black a villain.
“I ain’t over rich myself,” said the
desperado, “but if I war I’d help you

and misgivings.—IV. Y. Sun.

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE.
Muiy times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
soother from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion or prostration, nnoiher with pain here or there, and in
this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which ho prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are ail only symptoms caused suffering by eeme
womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The
