Independent A CONSULTATION. Tho Family Doctor and tho Fash ion ablo Physician. I am a family doctor, with a suffi ciently arduous. If not over-lucrativo, practice, chiefly among the lower mid dle) cla3 whoso homes abound In & southeastern suburb of modern Bab ylon. Soma years ago, when I was moro of a strug-gler than I happily now am. I had by good fortune ob tained a foothold as medical advisor in tho household of a wealthy city stockholder, who dwelt in a spacious and luxurious mansion some throe miles fhrther out on the Surrey hills than tho extreme limits of my regular round of vi-it-s; and the ftMs 1 received for occasional calls to Mount Aureo when Mr. Midas Contango had a touch of hid chronic torraenter, the gout; or his somewhat sentimental spouse quite a grand damo. however, in her own esteem was suffering tho pen alties of systematic outrao on the digestive fit-up of her portly person, were so liboral in their extent as to form in the aggregate no inconsidera ble proportion of my modest income. Alter my connection at Mount Aureo had continued, to tho seeming satis faction of all concerned, for some two years, I began to receive more frequent summonses thitherward. The only daughter of the Contangos, Miss Muriel, a fine, tall, gracefully-formed damsel of seventeen, who might have stood for a sculptor's model, 90 per fect was her physique, had returned home for her Christmas vacation from her fashionablo Brighton boarding school troubled with a slight cough. In all respects save this t: itling laryn geal affection, she enjoyed the excel lent health of which both her parents had had possession in their earlier days, before the indulgences which follow in wealth's wake had made them profitable acquaintances of my own. It was clear enough, too, to mo that Miss Muriel Contango's throat trouble was purely local; nevertheless. It was causing serious alarm to the master and mistress' of Mount Aureo, who idolized their charming daughter. The dream of the Cantango exiatenco was to mate Miss Muriel to some scion of the aristocracy, their reputation for riches having obtained them entree to society to which, by birth and breeding, they were not entitled. Mr. and Mrs. Midas Contango had both begun to dread that Miss Muriel's indisposition would culminate in bron chitis or a deciino. The slightest cough, the least bronchus, raised the grim and terrible specter of phthisis, and tho beautiful young lady was held to be in imminent danger of an early grave. 1 had examined her chest with the most anxious and minute care, but c.-uld discover nothing to justify any fear or even doubt of the correctness of my diagnosis; jet, despite balsamic and sedatives, exposure, however little. In treacherous weather would cause hoarseness and a transitory cough. Indeed, these disagreeable symptoms often manifested themselves without any apparent cause, except, as I judged, tho inordinate precautions taken to avert them. The rooms at Mount Aureo were always too hot; Miss Muriel was overclothed. could not stir out for a constitutional in the garden without a respirato,r. or take a drive unless hidden in an envelopment of costly furs. WTien I ventured to hint lit thU. the invariable reply of the Contangos was: "Ah! doctor, if we did not take this care of Muriel, how leng would she bo with us? the dear child is to delicate." And nothing I cou!d say would alter their opinion. One day in the April succeeding, when Miss Muriel had been coddled up at heme for four months instead of being sent to Brighton to continue her studies, Mrs. Contango was more than usually concerned about her daugh ter's condition. The stockbroker and his good lady had over night held an anxious discussion. I had made my now usual though quite unnecessary daily visit to Mount Aureo, and Mrs. Midas Contango was, in her patroniz ing and yet solicitous manner, bowing mo out. I bad almost reached the door, hat in hand, when Mrs. Contan go said, with some effort: "Doctor, you know we have tho utmost confi dence in you; we carry out your in structions to the letter; but our dear child" Yes, madam; only you will persist in treating her. If I may be pardoned the simile, too much after the manner of a tropical orchid, instead of regard ing her as a beautiful plant of En glish growth." 'Well, you may bo right, doctor; but we are so very anxious, Mr. Con tango and myself you see Muriel Is our only child, our sole hope. Now would you mind our asking the opinion of a famous specialist as to the case?" Nothing would be better or more proper. Tray, whom would you like, and whn may wo arrange, contingent on his being able to conic, tohavo him here"" Mrs. Midas Coctnngo mentioned tho fvf."n of a very fashionable and cx lretvo Lotu-on pfcyj-Uian with a con- sultative practice confined almost en tirely to the houses of those who had been presented at court. He was cer tainly not the man I should have chosen, for the faculty rather smiled at his pretensions to pre-eminent skill, and his reputation was far moro that of the drawing-room than professional. However, 1. a humble if conscientious practitioner, could not afford, had 1 so desired, to decline to meet him. and I . consented to facilitate arrangements for an Interview at the great man's convenience. The fashionable physician drew up in his imposing equipage at the door of Mount Aureo half an hour behind the time appointed, was introduced to his patient, making tho while profuse apologies for having been unavoidably detained by a critical case that of the Duke of Deer wood to whose house in Mayfair he had been summoned by the Duchess request to glvo his opinion as to the treatment adopted by the at tendant medical gentleman. What!" said the society exquisite for such the celebrity certainly was what!" exclaimed he. In grandilo quent tones, striking a theatrical atti tude, "is it that fine young lady we are to consult about? That superb girl, in such perfect condition! Come, madam, confess that you are only making fun of us." "Well." replied Mrs. Contango. Im pressed, aa she was meant to be, by the importance of the pompous per sonage who was addressing her. I admit appearances are in my daugh ter's favor, and I hope that you may be able to assure us that her condition is not serious; but she is always losing her voice always coughing and If we were not to take care" A flood of tears drowned the rest ot the sen tence. Hut," airily remarked the famous doctor, "my dear madam, why dis tress yourself? All may be well. Let me hear from this gentleman, your family attendant, the symptoms as he has interpreted them." I gave the history of the case in a few words. "Well, well; there tcans to ho noth ing serious; but we must examine the chest with the utmost exactness to de cide that," Pardon me," Interrupts mamma, "but will you allow me to remain in tho room?" "Of course, madam," responded the favorite of fortune. "You have a sacred right to stop here. Pray, sit down." And then he directed mo to commence tho examination. I per cussed with minute carefulness every part of the thorax, and, as before, could really find nothing abnormal. "There; you perceive that I have tested with exactness, and the reso nance Is everywhere perfect." I made tho remark as a mere matter of form, for I had not failed to note that the very superior West End practition er had not condescended to pay the slightest attention to my proceedings, but was talking In low tones to Mrs. Midas Contango all the ti "Ah, well, now it is my turn." said he, and. with the most delicately im pressive care placed Miss Muriel again in position; not. as I had done, with the arms crossed on the chest, hut stifily extended. In place of tell ing her to count "thirteen to sixteen," he gave her a book and directed her to read a dozen lines, and then to 6ing the gamut, an octave and a half. The mother was watching all this in ad miration and devouring every detail. "Ah! humph!" eaid the oracle; "it seems there is something but exr treraely difficult to differentiate. Let us hear what percussion yields." And his style was truly enchanting. Every tap with the fingers was given with a flourish and a graceful sweep worthy of the most expert professor of sleight-of-hand that ever entertained a Coun tess' guests. There was a moment of studied indecision, and then, with a covert smile, turning to me, he said: "There it is. Listen, my dear young friend," as he boat his digital drum now on this side, then on that, "Tick tack, tick-tack. Hark! do you hear it? There is a very appreciable dif ference in resonance; when I say ap preciable difference," I do not say an enormous difference no but there it Is!" "For my own part, sir," I returned. "I can not, with all deference, detect the slightest difference." Oh, very likely; but there, never theless, it is. Now come, however; though having ascertained tho truth about the case my time is short, let me convince you. I will turn my back to the patient, and you 6hall again percuss. I will tell which side you are tapping upon by the variation in the sound." He turned round, and I percussed as equally as possible the two sides of the thorax. "You are on the left side." He was quite right! In a moment, however, my surprise was changed to admiration of the fashionable physician's smart audacity. His professional nay. I yet hope I may more truthfully write it unprofessional trick was obvious enough, but performed with such per fect aplomb that I was duped even whilst taking part in it, He had turned his back to the patient, to Mrs. Midas Contango and myself, but ho was looking into a large mirror above the console which faced him! What could 1 do? I was mute. The tables had indeed been so completely turned upon me that I had nothing to say. "Madam. I must not alarm you." observed the triumphant specialist to Mrs. Contango, who was in blissful ignoranceof the deception; "these del icate gradations in tone can only be at once detected after immense prac tice, only by those who examine a stream of patients; but there is some thing on tho left side of your daugh ter's chest nothing serious so little, indeed, that my young friend here has been unable to find it; but tbero it is. And now, the examination being com plete, permit us to consult as to the treatment, and then I must go, or I shall incur the displeasure of a noble but somewhat impatient patient of mine." When we were alone I again ex pressed my incredulity, delicately hinting at my observation of his ruse. Tut, tut! my (.ear young friend." said he. testily, "you have not yrt grasped the situation. Now, here you have a girl who coughs and has been hoarse for a long time then how the deuce can you get over the fact by telling the parents that there is no cause for it! Very likely there is nothing the matter with her; but why does she cough?" "That was exactly what her mother said to me." "There you are; and mamma was quite right; there must be some cause for it. We may not be able to lay our finger npon it, for we must examine and understand our patients thor oughly very often betore we can make out their ailments, and then one finds the mischief, because, you see, we are expected to discover it," "But 6tippose there really Is noth ing." . "Nonsense! There always ia But even if there were not, we are equally bound to find it; for if you tell these anxious people. 'I can discover noth ing wrong, they will naturally put it down to your ignorance, and send for somebody else who has knowledge enough of human nature or sufficient tavoir jaire not to be embarrassed with so small a difficulty. Now, do you see my meaning?" "Theoretically .there is nothing, practically there is," "You may put it so. If so it please you. But I assured you that there is and there is your vigilance and punctilious exactitude notwithstand ing a little convenient tlifferenco in resonance Tho mamma heard tho remark, as I intended her to do; 6he had not the remotest idea what it meant why should she have? but she is perfectly happy now that tho cause of her darling's cough has been discovered, because she thinks, the cause being known, the cure will fol low. The moro unintelligible the ex planation, the more convinced is she of its correctness. Ono may remedy, you know, a difference in resonan but how can you pretend to cure a per son whom you persistently declare to havo nothing the matter with her?" I began to understand. " "Now," continued this consummate reader of society's intelligence, "I ad mit that this Is not science " 'Nor what the schools and our academical training teach us," haz arded L "Quite so, my dear fellow; but ac cept for once the tuition of a man who has not altogether failed in his pro fession. What I have taken the trouble to demonstrate to you gratis is a good working rule smelling a little, perhaps, so to speak, of tho shop or of legal tape but if our patrons are satisfied, our patients made happy. our reputations ad vanced, can wo wisely permit so triv ial a matter as departure from slavish adherence to what is miscalled prin ciple to stand between us and success?" "Well." admitted L a littlo sadly, "perhaps you are right," "Of course I am. my dear young friend. ( am a cynic, but I succeed. I have been, for instance, beseeched to meet you here to-day. And now for treatment," A little delicate counter-irritation was suggested and agreed on; then tho fashionable physician stepped into his elegant turn-out before the door of Mount Aureo, amid the profuse thanks of Mrs. Midas Contango, a hundred guineas richer for his half-hour's visit. As he shook hands with me, on Vhrowing himself back among the cushions of his brougham, the famous xpert smilingly whispered: "You are too modest, my ingenuous young Triend; you have already the science it medicine at your finger-ends; why not acquire the art also? Adieuf One rarely takes part in a consulta tion without loarning something; but I never obtained 6uch valuable practi cal know lodge from any meeting with a brother professional as I did in that inglorious scene in the drawing-room of Mount Aureo. in which I was so sadly let down, for a time at least, in the estimation of Mrs. Midas and Miss Muriel Contango. Miss Muriel subsequently recovered her temporarily defective resonance sufficiently to gladden tho hearts of her parents by making a marriage at their cost into a noble house. I still have tho pleasure of ranking her among my patients, but for no organic or other serious ailment; and I have it on excellent authority that her hus band. Viscount Barrenlands. would be extremely glad at times, when he bas been inordinately extravagant with, his unearned increment, if Lady Muriel's vigor of voice and physique were both a littlo less robust Cham bers Journal. No Musical Sense in Horses. An interesting report regarding the development of the musical sense in horses has just been made by a com mittee of German zoologists and bot anists. The report says: "Tho in vestigations as to tho musical sense of horses have shown that that sense is very poorly developed in these ani mals. It bas been proved beyond doubt that horses have no notion what ever of keeping time to music and that at circuses they do not dance accord ing to the tune, but that the musicians have to keep time according to the steps of the animals. Other investi gations show that horses do not un derstand military trumpet signals. It is only the 1 ider or tho animal's in stinct of imitation which induces horses to make the moves required by the signal, but no horse without a rider, however carefully trained, takes the slightest notice of a trumpet sig nal and the same observation has been made on a large number of cavalry horses without riders."

I clear the tray and put to rights" Tbe dining-room and kitchen; I then go la my room to sew, t And try and do some stitching. I wonder If there is on earth No respite from our labors. No time to go and Koslp some With pleasant, friendly neighbors? Betore I end th a piece of work And try to thin': a little, I throw It down and run and make A Bre and place the kettle. For men mutt eat and go, you know. But women can k-o never. Yes, men will come and men will go. Hut we work on forever, ever. We work oa forever. Mrs. T. O. Holt, In The Freeman. MISS NAOMI NUTTING. She Makes a Success of Minding' Her Own Business. "Me and Squire Bagshot, we're goin' into partnership together," said Miss Naomi Nutting. "Eh? What?" cried tho Widow Scarsby, hastily adjusting her ear trumpet, "You a-thinkin' o' gettin' married at this time o day?" Miss Naomi gave a sniff of exceed ing great derision. Who's talkin' o' gettin' married?" said she. "Not L Nor. I guess, the squire. We're outen our first child hood, and we ain't got to our second, I calculate. Not yet." The Widow Scarsby looked disap pointed. "Then," said she, "what do you mean?" "Why," explained Miss Naomi, the squire he's leased the old farm. I'd got to let it to somebody. What between the taxes and tho interest and the repairs and all. it was too much for a woman to look after. But tho cows and the poultry and all is to remain, and I'm to run the dairy and the egg business. Ten per cent, com mission I'm to havo. and tho use of the old house. And I've sot out a lot of now strawberry roots, and some of the offshoots of Hester Brine's sweet smellin English violets, and I'm go in to earn my own livin", if I bo a woman." "Vi-lets!" repeated Mrs. Scarsby, "and strawberries! John hain't no faith in that sort of thing." "It don't matter to me whether ho has or not," curtly observed Miss Nutting. "A woman uever yet mado farmin' pay." -Anyhow," said Miss Nutting. "I mean to have a try at it. My ex penses won't be much, that's one comfort," "Bettor give up the notion," said Mrs. Scarsby, slowly shaking her head. Not if I know it," said Naomi. "I'm pretty certain I ean make good butter, and I always took natural to hens and chickens. And I know I can market them strawberries at tho sum mer hotels on Cherry brook, and En glish violets bring fifty cents a dozen at tho New York . florists in January and February." "You're runnin' a great risk!" sighed Mrs. Scarsby, in genuine Job's comforter accents. "There's alwaj the poor-house left if I don't succeed," sarcastically re marked Naomi. And Mrs. Scarsby went away to tell her news throughout the whole neigh borhood. "Upon my word." said Mrs. Dr. Plumb, "the woman has pluck! But of course she won't succeed; women never do." "I nover was so flat in all my life," said Mrs. Scarsby, "as when I heard Naomi say she was goin' into partner ship with Squire Bagshot. I s' posed, of course, she was goin to marry him." "Well, I don't know why slio shouldn't," said Mrs. Plumb. "The squire ain't young, but he's a likely man enough." "He marry Naomi Nutting!" said Mrs. Scarsby. "A poverty-stricken old maid, with one foot in tho poor house!" "Fools used to say your John was partial to her," shrewdly observed Mrs. Plumb. "That's all a mistake," said Mrs. Scarsby. And 6he took herself and her ear trumpet off to the next house, while Elite Price, Mrs. Plumb's bound girl, who had been listening through the dumb-waiter, breathlessly scampered to the grocery for the ounce of pow dered cinnamon, which she had been told half an hour ago to bring, and there Informed Mrs. Peppersauce as a profound seeret that Miss Naomi Nut ting and Squire Bagshot were about to be married. "I don't believe it," said Mrs. Tcp persauee. 'I heard it with my own ears!" said Ellie. glowing all over with the impor tance of her news. - "An old maid like that!" said Mrs. Peppersauce, scornfully. She ain't thirty yet," said Ellie. I heard missis tell Mrs- Scarsby so." Ill news, they say, spreads fast; to does good news. Which of these heads Sitiiro Bagshot' a engagement caiuo under is hard to fcpocity, but certain it is that tho morsel of osaip spread like wildfire through Cherry village. "Me engaged to Naomi Nutting," said the squire. "Well, it's tho first I've heerd of it," "Naomi Nutting going to marry that old widower!" said John Scarsby. "What nonsense! You told me your self, mother, that she denied it up and down." "Yes," said Mrs. Scarsby, a little doubtfully, "but that's what they al ways do. It would be a great thing for Naomi Nutting." "I'll never believe it," said John. The old love affair between him sr.d Naomi Nutting was dead and gone long ago. but something in the preva lent atmosphere seemed to fan tho faint spark of its ashes into new life. John Scarsby remembered how black and bright her eyes once were, and what a trim little figure she had While the squire, meditating on the perfect, dazzling cleanliness of Naomi's dairy, and the efficiency with which she had set out tho violet roots and the straw berry creepers, said to him seU: "I don't know but that I might do worse. To be sure, she's a poor, soli tary, friendless creetur. without any property, except that old mortgage ridden farm. But I can't got no liirJ girl short of eleven dollars n. month, and it is sort o' lor.eoino sett in' on tho stoop of evenin's all alone. She's been brought up economical, too, and won't want to spend any more money than she can help. That's a great thing," And the squire brushed his lank hair more carefully than ever over the glossy dome of his bald cranium, and considered seriously tho propriety of dyinsr his grizzy be.-ird. "Mother," iiiidJohn Scarsby, that day. "it isn't right for yon to" do nil the housework by yourself. It's too much for you." "La, John. I do hope you ain't thinkin of hirin' a help!" exclaimed Mrs. Scarsby, in dismay. "Of ail tho shiftless, idle, wasteful things" "We've got to do something, moth er," said John. "I can't let you work yourself out," It was all true. John Scarsby had said the samo thing time and u.iin to his mother; but he said it now with genuine earnestness, looking at her as he did 60, and secretly wondering 1 how he should break to her the tid 'l ings of an impending daughter-in-law. rttiu xaoiiii iuuing, 01 ail persons, the woman whom Mrs. Senr.sby al ways designated as 'that poor forlorn maid."' John was a bravo man, but. there are more kinds of courage than one. j Mrs. Scarsby cried over tbe butter- J beans she was cutting up for dinner. "I won't have a help in. the house," thought she. "If John really w ants a woman around, why can't he get married? And I don't know no smart er girl than Naomi Nutting. I've a great mind to go over and seo if she can't break that ero contract with Squire Bagshot- I wish 1 dared to speak right out to John about it. He used to like Naomi, but men are queer." Naomi had just come in from weed ing her late-onion patch tho next even ing, when the squire arrived, all 111 his best "Gocd evening, squire," said Miss Nutting. ";it down till I light tho lamp." Don't light it." said the sqt.ire. sheepishly. 'I'm partial to the twi lihu" "I ain't," said NaomL "I mostly like to seo what l'iu doing. You've come about business. I suppose?" Ahem yes," admitted the squire. Although he had told himself all day long that Naomi Nutting wo-.ilii certainly jump at his ofler, he couhl not subdue a certain nervousness at the last moment. "Very important busicesf,!"' lat-tat-tat-t-t-t! came a knock on the panels of the lilac-shaped front door. John Scarsby. arriving cloo on tho heels of the squire, had perceived the necessity for immediate action. lie was flushed, nml breathed hard with rapid walking, but he had screwed his courage up. "Naomi." said he. "can I speak to you for ono minute?'' Naomi, holding the lamp in ouo hand, stared hard at him. "I'm engaired just now," said she. "Engaged?" "Squiro Bagshot is here." "I won't keep you long." said John. "I only want one word." "Any thing happened?" questioned Naomi. "No, but " John drew a quick breath of vexation and embarrass ment. "Will you hear lus out, Naomi?'1 Tho squire, in the front room, cleared his throiit loudly ns Naomi conducted John into tho back kitchen. "Now. then." said the. "What is it?" Did ever lover woo maiden before untler such discouragingcircumstauces as these? John fixed his eyes on tho copper boiler, and blurted out his tender confession at once. It v.-as an awkward proceeding, but it was inevitable. "Naomi.'" said he, "I want a wife. Will you have me?" "No, thankee, John," said Miss Nuttiug. John stared at .her, and uttered a gasp. "What did you sav?" stammered he "I said no!" "I'm too late, am 1?" he utterc.l. despairingly. "Well, yes, you are." "Hadn't you belter think it ove ?" "Weil, it wouldn't bo 110 use." Jehu went away completely d'.-ti-founded, and Naomi went back to the squire. "What business could that joung mnn possible havo with you, Naomi?'' asked the squire, a little fretfully. 4. I'. v. as i'livatc," said Naouii, com posedly. "Naomi." said Mr. Bagshot, plung ing headlong into the subject, "I'm thinking of getting married.""' v "Arc your" said Naomi, somewhat amazed. Tin tired of livin' solitary and alone, and I don't know of nobody 1 like Wtter than you," added Squiro Bagshot. "Much obliged to you. Pin suro," said Naomi. "Do you think you could learn to love me?'' said the squire, his hard features galvanized into unwonted' tenderness. "1 duimo whether 1 could or not," said Naomi. "lut 1 don't mean to try." "Eh?" jerked out tho squire. "I'm engaged already," explained NaomL 'To that shiftless young Scnr-bv?'' "Ho ain't particularly shiftievs a-. I know of," ob.-eived Naoini. "But it ain't to him. us it happon?." "If you're 1'CL.lly engaged," said tho squire, of whoso character delicacy was by no merins a prominent lrr.it, "uhnt c u earth aro you rnr.ni::g the dairy business for?" "To earn money, to be sure," said Naomi. "I'm to marry a rich :nan, and I don't eho j-o to go to hi;u empty handed, or without a decent wardrobe, such as other women have." "Who is it?" still further dcmcnd'v.l the sijuire. "Well, I don't mind telling you. since you ask ine up and down," said N:ie;!.i. "Him that owns the new Mountain iron woi ks, Joseph Alden." The squire made a little gurgling sound, as if ho were ineffectually trying to swallow somcthir.r. Joseph AMen, tho handsome, niiddle-aed Engli-hmnn, tho best match in Cherry County, engaged to Naomi Nutting, whom he Squire Baushot had mentally characterized as "a poor, solitary, friendlefs creetur!" "Well," said he, heavily rising, "I s'pose I'd better go." "I don't know as you'll gain p.ny thing by staying," Naomi coolly re marked.
