COMMUNICA TED.
Soochow China, March 21.
Editor Messenger:
Dr. Lnmbuth has gone on a
cjuntry trip for a week and left mo
in the sprouts as it were. I have
my hnnds pretty full. Am just in
from the dispensary where 1 have
been doctoring Chinese for the last
two or three hours. Hud forty
three patients te-day, and took in
1035 cash. It takes 11 cash to
make 1 cent. We charge them 10
cash a visit, sell them bottles for
15 cash, and enough cinchouidia
to break a chill for 40 cash. All
ether medicines free. We hate to
charge such enormous fees, but we
arc compelled to do it in self de
fence, for if we did not cnarge any
thing we would be literally over
whelmed by them.
We have some strange pa'ients.
Our latest is a man with horns or,
rather, with one horn, for though
he originally had two, he had pull
ed one oil’. They came out one on
each side of his face just in froi t
of his ears. The one we saw wa3 a
real horn obout half an inch in
length, rough, something like the
half of a right new finger-nail,
only darker, ft evidently '‘sprung
from the deeper strata of the mu
cous layer of the epidermis, and
consisted in a hyperplastic growth
of cells arranged upon one another
in an imbricated manner.” The
man had an ugly looking sore in
the place of the horn he had pulled
off, and he came for us *o treat
this sore, and no’, as we had sup
posi d, to get us to remove the re
maining horn. A good many of
our patients are afflicted with
phtheiriasis, or, in other words n:e
inhabitid. They sometimes, wbilo
waiting for their turn to come, get
out in th warm 3'trhsbine in front
of the dispensary door, j.iilT off
their civthes and pass the time
hunting and killing the natives! I
will simply remark here that a
Chinaman, in ordinary weather
can pull off half a dozen garments,
more or less, and still be pretty
well dressed so far as appearances
are concerned.
When a Chinaman is talking
abolil a disease it is hard to tell
weather he means himself or some
one else. One day a man ermefor
some medicine for the toothache,
and from the way he talked Dr-
Lambuth feit sure he wanted it lor
himself. The doctor wanted to
pull his tooth, and as several pa
tients had refused to have their
teeth extracted when they saw the
forceps, he determined to take this
feliow by surprise and pull bis
tooth before be knew it. Bo he got
bis forceps-and holding them be
hind him, he walked up to the man
and asked him which tooth was
giving the trouble. The mnn op
ened his mouth and pointed to a
jaw tooth, meaning that it was a
jaw tooth in the head of bis friend
was misbehaving itself. But the
doctor did not so understand it,
and furthermore, when he' looked
in the man’s mouth he saw a de
cayed tooth. Never suspecting for
a moment that this was any other
than the aching tooth, tie laid hold
on it w th his forceps and btgin
pulling just like be intended to
bring it out. The man jelled like
a tiger, and seizing the dictor’s
hand managed to keep him from
finishing the tooth, cryiog all tbe
time at the top of hia voice, “vezm
yno, vent gno. gno kup bang yeur,’’
not me, not ms, ils my friend. An
other roan came in some time ago
for a threat tremble. We examined
bis throat but could detect nothing
wrong with it. O, he said, we
might net bO able to 6<e anything,
but it was a wonderful throat for
all that. He was in the habit of
getting all sorts of things nut of it,
among others, a piece nf brass,
some silver, and a lot of old irons,
and only last week he brought ont
a real genuine bomfile fish! He
was a nice looking ol > man, to all j
app aracces perfectly sound, and j

when the pfople around began
laughing at him while he was de
scribing his symptoms to the Dr. I
grew quite indignant and felt like
giving them a few —I did not know
what he was saying.
But the man who canie to Dr.
Lambuth when be was out here
before, is ahead of anything we
have had yet. He said he was in
a very bad way arid yet he Could
hardly cunt himself sick. His
trouble was that he wanted to eat
and sleep too much. His arpetite
was enormous, he was about to eat
up everything he had. And as
for sleep he c uld not get enough
of it. In short, when he wasn’t in
the bed he wanted to be at the ta
ble, and when he wasn’t at the ta
ble he wanted to he in the bed.
He s lid his friends told him lie
was lazy and he reckoned it was so,
he was lazy, and if the Dr. would
only g.ve him some medicine to
cure him of it, he would be ever
lastingly ob iged to him, for he
was very miserable and did not
know what to do with himself.
If you and your readers are not
tired out already, I will cloFe this
letter with some Chinese ideas on
Hydrrphobia. When snakes go
into their winter quarters they
take a lump of mud iD their mouths
to amuse themselves and drive off
hunger during their long sleep.
When they come out in the spring
they throw this lump of mud
away ; dogs get it and eat it, and
then tbey go mad. As soon as a
mad-dog bites you, get somebody
to look in the top of your bead and
they will find a red hair which
must be pulled out and thrown
away. Then you must go to a drug
store and get seven big, long, black
worms, (rot a difficult thing to do
in a Chinese drug store, as their
stock consists mostly in worms,
snakes, lizards, terrapin shells, tiger
claws, lion teeth, elephant tusks
and such things) put’hem in a pot
of water, add rice flour, boil for two
hours, strain and drink. If this
does not physic you pretty strong
ly the whole thing must he repeat
ed next day. Then you must go way
off in the country and never hear
the sound of a gong. Having fol
lowed all these directions implicitly
you stand one eb’ance in eleven of
not having hydrophobia.

Taking’ Boarders.
‘lt was a scandle,’ the neighbors
said, that Miss Delia should be
obliged to take boarders, after all
the had been through; and heaven
knows boarders did not help a bo
dy to work out her salvation. And
so much money in the family, too,
taking it small and large. Wasn’t
her uncle Kbcn, over at Dov< r,
well-to-do, and not a chick of his
own to care for, except the boy he
had adopted, who was no credit to
to him? It was odd, now, that a
man with poor relations should
take a stranger when hi* oWn flesh
nnd blood was needy, hut somo
*ime6 it does seem as if folkes had
more feeling for others than for
their own kith and kin. Then
there were cuu.-ins in the city, who
were never worth a row of pins
to Delia, and there was her great
uncle John's widow n-larkin on
the continent, a gaining at B.tden-
Baden, and trving tbe waters of
every mineral spring in the three
kingdoms, for no disease under the
sun but old age. She had boon
known to say that her were
too rich already and probably slm
would endow some hospital with
her property.' Plainly, wealthy re
la’ives were ot no value to Miss
Delia, To be sure she had never
seen ter great aunt since she was a
child, when her uncle John had
brought her into their simple life
for a month’s visit, and her French
maid and drekses, her jewels and
fallals, which won the heart of her
namesake. Since then Jncle John’s
Widow had become sort of a gil
ded creature, always young and
beautiful; for though De ia had
received little gifts from time to
time across the seas for the last
fifteen years, she had neither
heard nor seen anything of the
being who hud inspired her youth
ful imagination, and "7as quite
uncertain if Eueh a person as Mr.
Uogersori was in the land of the
living. Dead or alive she seemed
to have made no material differ
ence to Delia’s humdrum life.
After nursing her father through a
long sicltnbss, Delia found that he
had left a heavy mortgage on the
homestead, and her mother and
herself on the birrh road to the
poor house, unless they would
bestir themselves. Asher mother
was already bedridden, the stirring
naturally fell upon Delia, and she
advertised for summer boarders.
‘Good board in the country to
the riverside, at seven dollars a
week. Large chambers, bread pi
azzas, fine views, herries and new
milk. One mile from the station.
Addross, Delia Rogerson,
Crafuborough. Maine.’
‘Cheap enough 1’ commented an
elderly lady who happened upon
it. ‘Delia Rogerson. An old ma d
I suppose, obliged to look out for
herself. I’ve a mind to try her
broad piazzas and new milk. If 1
don’t like it, there'll be no harm
done.’
And so Delia’s first boarder—an
old lady with false front hair, brown
wrinkled skin, faded eyes a black
alpaca gown and a hair trunk. De
lia made her as welcome as if she
had been a duchess; lighted a
wood fire in Mrs. Clement’s room
as tbnnight was damp, and brought
out her daintiest cup and saucer,
with the fadeless old rr-sei wreath
ing them. ‘Wonderfully kind,’re
flected Mrs. Clement, as she comb--
ed out her wisp of gray hair and
safely cod fined the false front to a
box, ‘Wonderful kindness for sev
en dollars a week ! 8- e’s new to
the trade. She’ll learn better Hu
man nature doesn't change with
latitudes. Bhe’ll find itdmsn’t pay
to consider the comfort of a pover
ty-stricken old oreature.’ But in
spite of her worldly wisdom Mr*.
Clement was forced to confess that
Delia had begun as she rneaut to
hold out, although other boarders
Came to demand her attention and
to multiply her cars*. The fret and
joy of conflicting temperaments un
der roof Was a new experience to
Delia. When Mrs. Gresome com
plained of the mosquitoes, with an
air as if Miss Rogerson were res
ponsible for their creation; of tbe
flies, as if they were new arquain
tanccs; of went of appetite as
though she had agreed to supply it, j
ak-fift wfih’ berries and new milk ;
ol tlie weather, as if she had p'edg
ed herself there would be no sud
den changes to annoy her boarders;
of the shabby hou-eand antiquated
furniture, 'too old for comfort and
not old enough for f shion'—then
Delia doubted if inking boarder*
whs her mission. ‘What makes you
keep us, my detr?’ asked Mrs.
C eraent, after a day when every
thing and everybedy had seemed to
go wrong. ‘Why di in't you never
marry? You hud a lover I dare
say.’
“Yes, a long time ago.”
“Fell me about him—it?"
‘There isn't much to tc 1. He
asked me to marry him. He was
going to Austra'ia. I couldn't
lca7e father and mother you know
(‘hey were both fo-ble), and he
cculdn’t stay here. Thai’s all.’
‘And you—you —’
‘Now all men besides aro to me
like shadows.’
‘And you have never heard of
him since?’
'Yes. He wrote; bit where’s tho
use? It could never oome to any
thing. It was better for him to
forget me and marry. I was a
millet: ne about his neck. I didn't
answer his letter,’
‘And supposing he should re
turn some day would you marry
him?’
.‘I dare s'fi'y,’ laughed Delia, gen
tly, as if the idea was familiar, ‘let
the neighbors laUgh ever so wisely.
I’ve thought of It, sometimes, sit
ting alone, when tho world was
barren and commonplace. One
must have recreation of some kind,
you. know. Everybody requires i
little romance, a little poetry, to
flavor everyday thinking and do
ing. I’m sTraitf you think me n
silly old maid, Mrs. Clement.’
‘No. The heart never grows old-
The skin shrivels, the color departs,
tbecy*s fade, the ihatures grow
pinched; but the soul is hair of
eternal youth—it is' as beautiful at
fourscore as at sweet sixteen and
twenty.’ Time .makes amends for
the ravages of ifce body by d< vel*
oping the spirit. You didn't tell
me your lover’s name. Perhaps
you would rather do^.’
‘Hi* name was Stephen Lang
don. Sometimes Capt. Seymour
run* against him in Melbourne and
brings me word how he looks and
what he is doing; though I nover
ask, and Stephen neyer asks for
me, that I enu hear.’
Delia’s summer boarders were
not a success, to be sure. If th -y
took no mon4y nut of her pocket,
they put none in. She was übliged
to eke out her support by copying
for Lawyer Dunmore and embroid
ering for Mrs. Judge Doir. One
by one her boirJers dropped away
like autumn leaves; all butold Mrs.
Clem4flrt.
‘I believe I’ll stop on,’ she said
‘l’m get iog too old Iff move
often. Perhaps you take winter
boarders at reduced rates, eh?’
‘By no means. But when one’s
purse is low ’
‘Yes, I know. Do stay at your
own urice. I can’t spare you.’ She
had grown strch a fondness for the
old lady that to have refused her
at her own terms would have
*eemed Hkc turning her own
mother out of doors, heßides one
mouth more w- uld not signify.
But she found it hard to make
both ends meet, and often wont to
bed hung'jr that her mother and
Mrs. C ement might enj jy enough,
without there appearing to le 'just
afpa.iern.’ At Christmas, howev
er, came n ray of sunshine for
Delia, hi the shape of a hundred
dollar bill from an unknown fraud.
‘lt can’t bu meant for me,’ she
cried.
‘lt’s directed to Delia Rogerson,’
said her mother; ‘and there’s no
body else of that name, now tfiat
your Aunt Delia is dead.’
‘We are not sure she is dead,’ ob
jected Deli*.
‘Don't you know whether your
aunt is dead or alive?’ asked Mrs.
Clement, rr. a shocking tone.
‘lt isn’t our fault. She is very
rich and lives abroad. I was nam
ed after her. I rued to look in tbe
glass and try to believe that 1
would inheiit l.er beauty with tie
name, though she Was only our
gnat ud.'le’s wist
NO. 44.
’She ought to be doing something
for jou.’
‘How can she, if elie is dead ? I
don’t blame her any way. Her
money i* her own to use according
to her pfoneuro. Unci’John made
it bunaoll and gave it ’o her.’
‘But if she should come back to
you, hav.ng run through with it,
you’d divide your last crust with
her, I’ll bu bound
‘I suppose I should,’replied De
lia.
The wilder, wore away as wiutc s
will, and the rairnc’es of Spring
began in tbe fields and wayside;
and Delia's boarders returned with
the June roses, and dropped away
again with the fa ling leaves, but
still Mrs. Clements stayed on and
on. Just now ehe had been some
weeks in arrears with her reduced
board. No money had be>n forth
coming for some time, ar.d she was
growing more fie hie daily, need
ing the luxurie.'. of an invalid and
the attention of a nurse, both of
which Delia bestow-d upon bar,
without tuking thought of the m< r
row.
’I must hear of my man’ of busi
ness to-:hurr«w, Delia: I’m knts
dtep in dtbi to you,’ she began otu
night.
‘Don’t mention it t’ cried Delia,
I’d rather never see a cent of it
than have you take it to heart.
You aro welcome to stay and (hare
pot luck wi'h us; you are such
ioarvpany for mother and for me.’
‘Thank you my dear. I've grown
as fond of you as if you were my
own fl-ah and blood. There, turn
down the light, please. Draw the
curtain, dear, add put another stick
on the fire please. It grows chil
ly, doesn’t it? You might kiss
mo just once if you wouldn’t mind.
It’s a hundred yenrs or sosineeany
one kissed me.’
And noxi morning when Delia
carried up Mrs. Ciemsnt’n breakfast
her boarder lay cold and still upon
the pillows.
The first shock over Delia wrole
to the lnwyer of whom she had
heard Mrs. Clement spenk a* hav
i ig charge of her affairs, begging
him to notify that lady’s relatives,
if she had any. In reply Mr. Wil
lis wrote: ‘The lute Mrs Clement
appear* to have no near relatives.
Borne distant cousins, who have an
übundanct of this world's goods,
yei served her shabbily when she
tbrir tes.ed genero ity.as she tried
vours, are all that remain of her
f mily. In the meantime I end se
you a copy of her last will and tes.-
timent, to peruse at your leisure.’
‘What interest does he think I
take in Mrs. Clement's will,’ Delia
thought; but she read, neverthe
less.
Being of round mind, this 16th
day of Juno, 18—, I, Delia Roger
soq Clement, do here by leave
one hundred dollars to each of my
cousins and bequeath the resid ie of
my property, viz: Thirty thousand
dollars invested in the Ingot Min
ing Company, fifty thousand dol
lars in tbe United States bonds,
twenty thousand in the Fortune
Flannel Mills, and my jewels, to
the beloved niece of my first bus
hand, John Rogerson, Delia Rogfi- j
sm, nf Croftsbcrovgh, M vine.
F->r I was a strung'r, nnd ye
took me in; hungry, and you fed j
me; sick, and jo ministered unto
me.’
‘Goodness alive!'cried ‘he neigh
bors, wbsn the facts reached their
ears. ‘What a profiubl) thing it
ii to take boirdern! Evorbody in
town will be trying it. Os course
Steve Langdon will come and m ir
ry her, if she were forty old maids
You may s'iek a pin in there!’
Doiia did not open her house to
boarders the next season. She
found enough to do in looking iff
ter her money and spending it; in
replying to letters from indigent
people, who seemed to increase
alarmingly; in receiving old friends
who suddenly bad time to remem
ber her existence. And, sur-i
enough, amoDg the feet, appeared
Sieve Langdon, and all the vidtfjge |
said, ‘I told you so.’
‘lt’s net my fault you and I are
(ingle, Delia,’ he said.
‘And we are too Old tothink of
it now, Steve.’
‘Hon genet!’ It's ntfver too late ,
to mend, l’ui not riOh, Deli*, bat (
I have enough for two and to
a are.'
*1 wouldn’t bo contented out to
diive in na y ourrixgu ami haves r
vnots under me now,’ laughed
Deli*.
‘lndee. t’ Then perhaps you have
n hotter match in view. Captain
Bt.yir.our asked mo. by the way, if
I had come to in’erfere with
‘Sq-ire Join s' interests.’
’Ye*, ’Squire Jones proposed to
me last week.’
'Now, see here, D» Im. H •»ri I
come all the way from Melbourne
on n f ml's i trend? There [ was
growing used to misery and lone
liness, when the mail brings in a
letter i i a strong- hand, which tells

'l’m glad that you did.'
In order that I may congratul its
'Square Jonekt'
‘Bih* I haven’t accepted him.
In faot I've refused him—be

‘Because you will merry yonr
old love, like the lass in the song,
Delia?’
In Croftsborough people are not
yot tired of telling how a woman
made mone/ by taking boarders.
WoidbiiCwe’rkTot Mem
The well-known saying, ‘A man
must ask his wife’s p< rmission to
become rich,’ might, very properly,
be so enlarged as to include every
object of Lis ambition. A popular'
lectori r on religious and scientific
•uhj< cts, in this country, speak's of
his wife as his admirable and in
dispensable help-meet, and lores
to tell of the watch and care she
takes of him, her ‘big boy.’ She
looks after his correspondence,
guards his hohrs of study, and ex
ercises n gentle supervision of all
his interests in away that is all
the more effective for being quiet
and unobtrusive.
Mr. Emerson owes much to the
fuilhftilncjs of his daughter Ellen,
of whom some one rays that she
'haa the face of a saint and the
garb of if Quakeress.’ He neyer
appears in public without her. For
he is seventy-seven years old, and
his memory plays him such tricks
as would put him into confusion,
wore his dau jSi&r not his other
and more retentive memory. He
finds it difficult to grurp a new
name nr to recall technical words.
‘What Is your brother’s profession*

ing to mention his son's business
