he didn't makeaiivirre.it fuss out lia.1

tin auction until it was understood
that the "roods eon Id not be delivered

w allied to arirue that the ca.-e was ex

pit tlx eii-ri. the thi uti was otstponed

vou. but in I he ctiil. Potter trot his way,
since il would stand to reason lie would
le safer if he st tick to all I he birds, and
that we owed him some consideration
for his spot tsman-like Ix-l.avior. And
l he (d.l -rent h man whose mui was a law
yer said he'd been thiiikinir the thinp
over and that it w as very doubtful if,
when a bird had been opened and the
diamond recovered, it oiiL'ht hot to be
handed back to the proper ow ner. I re-iiicmb.-r
I .- m'srcslcd it came under t lie
laws of the t rcas u re-t rov e--vv hich was
really the truth of the matter. There
was a hot a ri; tinieii t. ami we settled it
w as certainly foolish to kill the bird on
board the ship. Then the old irentle
man, f'oitifr at laisre through his lefral
talk, tried to make out the sale was a
lottery and illciral. and appealed to the
captain: but Potter said he sold the
birds as ost riches, lie didn't want to
s-. II any diamonds, he said, atnl didn't
ciTcr that as an inducement. The three
oirds he put up, to the best of his
know ledire and lielief. did not contain
a diamond. It. was in the one he kept
so he hoped.
"Prices ruled hipii next day all the
same The fact that now there were
four eliaiiecs instead of fixe of course
caused a lise. The blessed birds
avcraired two htimlicd and twenty-
sexen. and. oddly i it'll, this Padisha
didn't secure one of "cm not one. He
made loo much shindy, and when lie
nii.'ht to have been hiding he was talk
in ir a in lit liei's. a ml. beside s. Pol ter w as
i bit tl.iunoii him. I tt:e fell to a (pliet
little otViccr ( hap. another to the little

t he engineers. And t hen Pot tcr seemed
suddenly sorry for haxinirsold them,
ami said he'd I uutr aw ay a clear W l.lHltl,
and that very likely he'd draw a blank,
ami that he always had been a fool; but
when I went and had a bit of a talk to
him. willi tin- idea of frettiiiir him to
In -dire on his last chance. I found he'd
aiicady sold the bird he'd reserved to
a -litical chap that w as on Imard a
chap who'd been studying Indian mur
als and KM-ial ipiestions in his vacation.
That last was the X '.it'll bird. Well.they
landed three of the bless-.-d creatures
at Primlisi -thoutrh the oid "-cnllemaii
said it was a breach of the customs
r.irulations -and Potter and Padishah
lauded tix. The Hindoo M-eined half

ixin-r his luame and address to the
haps who'd boiiirht the birds, so that
they'd know where to send the dia
mond. None of them wanted his
name ami address ami none of
them would fxr their own. It
was a tine n.w, I can tell you on the
platform. They all went off byditTer
ciit trains. I came on to Sout hampton,
and there I saw the last of the birds,
as I came ashore; it was the. one the
engineers bought, and it was standing
up l i ar the 1 rid-re in a kind of crate,
and lookinir as leirtry and silly a settinir
for a aluable diainond as ever you saw
if it. was a settin-r fr a valuable dia
mond. "How did it end? Oh! like that.
Well - perhaps. Yes. there's one more
thinir that may throw lifrht. on it. A
week or so after landimr I was down
Pcirent street doinir a bit of shopping,
and who should I see arm-in-arm and
hav inir a purple t ime of it but Padishah

"Yes. I've thoiurht that. Only, you
see, there's no doubt the diamond was
real. And Padishah was an eminent
Hindoo. I've seen his name in the wi
pers -often. Hut whether the bird
swallowed the diamond certainly is an
other matter, a.s you say." San Fran

Vitliout ii.teviidiiiAr to le so, people
are extremely inconsiderate to their
physiciiuis, and uiiw ittingly cause them
H great deal of trouble end wearins.
At a son xxhat infoimal meeting uf
doctors and nurses, he'd not long since,
for the purj-ose of discussinif the rela
tions iH'twrrn the two, some very in
teresting facta were brought out and
talked over with that clearness of per
ception am! directness that eharaetr
ize persons v hose long familiarity with
il.cir bushiest- reiidei s them experUi.
"In the court of my duties as nurse,"
said a young woman who has made a
name for herself, "I have oLaserved that
ima-riitat ion ami upprvhensioii have a
great deal to do with sending- for doe
tots at unseasonable hours. As a iiile
the sufferer might just a well wait uu
til morning or send In-fore it is
late into the night. Hut fidjreiy and con
se.juenliai folk neein to think that it
adds to their iniortaiice and the grav
ity of the situation if they rouse tle
house at a time when everylxxly is or
ought to lie asleep and send &om serv
ant or nml-er of the family ot hitste
fi-r medical aid."
Wheu eople are ailing they get tired
and nervous and fret ful and out of joint
wit'i everyliody and everything. They
are to a certain extent entertained and
moused or at least occupied during the
day. Their thoughts are distracted in
spite of themselves, and they have le-ss
nervous force to expend upon them
selves. When night comes and the
house is quiet they tire left more to
themselves, and their thoughts and
fancies run riot. They magnify their
ills, and dwell upon their pains and
give free rein to their fears.
We all know that by indulging-ourselves
we get into apprehensive states
and fancy all sorts of dreadful things
when once we give way to our feelings.
And it is especially so w ith sick m r
sons. They liegin to think and to worry
and wonder if they are really grow ing
worse, anil, if there is an extra twinge of
pain or a little faint nes or undue nerv
ousness, they lose their heads at once,
am! everyliody is roused to minister to
what is really nothing- more nor less
than the legitimate result of too much
self-examination and too close atten
tion to symptoms tliat would not I at
HI alarming if they were not dwelt
upon.
Of course there are acute attacks of
various diseases that demand instant
attention, but when the doctor has
made one call he is usually quite well
qualified to state w he thi r or not there
are conditions that are likely to aj-ise

FURNISH COLLAR BUTTONS.
Nudrra l.aiindrlea Da. mane the Street
Venilor'a llualnra.
MiMlern" mel hodti in at least oik line
of business have struck a blithering
sw ipe at the sidewalk merchant w ho u
tiently stands for hours on a downtown
corner trying- to sell collar and shirt
buttons. Nobody ever tliinksof buying
any buttons from the luckless man. be
cause everyone who iatroiiizcs u laun
dry fTf ts buttons for nothing, and in
the course of a few mouths lays them
up by the gross, suvs the Chicago Chron
icle. Some time ago when a shirt came from
the laundry it had tieside the grease
from the ironing- machine and the ink
from the marker's-table, two pins thrust
deserately through the stretclied linen
holding the bosom and back of the gar
ment in place. There are no more pins
sent home with shirts. Some bright
laundry man started a new era by fur
nishing small metal buttons, which are
slipped into all the button holes of the
shirt, causing it to hold its slfcUe per
fectly. The other laundry men were not
slow to follow, and now half the men
i-n the street wear these, little charity
buttons for shirt studs. They are made
of lead or some similar soft metal and
evidently do not cost much, for shirts
are done up cheaper and done up more,
by the way, than they were when the
humble but serviceable pins were used.
So therefore the patient street sales
man finds a slow market with a down
ward tendency for his collar buttons.

FKOM TaIE GRAVE.
BV ASS A SHIELDS.
I have never told this story before,
but, knowing- I ha.ve not many days
K-ft of this earth's weary pilgrimure,
I write out the expeirieitH-t; that has
made me a jw or man. and a lonely one,
though, I Itriuubly trust, not a useless
one.
Nearly 25 years ago I settled in
tirestuuu, a villagw then, and taking its
name, from the founder, who was also
my- uncle-, Peter Ure&ham. He had
written to me, when I graduated from
the medical college, where he had paid
all my e-XpeiitM as a student, that he
woiiki give me a. cottage in the viilar-."
and $50o in money, but after tliat I must
make my own, way.
The offer was a gvuerous continu
a nee of k iud nesa show n to me from lv -hood,
when 1 was left an orJuin and
Ienniless. I gladly accepted it, and
went at once to (iresham. w here my
only rival was a practitioner nearly so
years old, Lrr. Farnell, who occupied
a cottage directly opposite to mine.
He'uig in easy circumstances and very
feeble. Dr. Faruell was more than will
ing to send me -atients. until, gradual
ly, I found heluid tru is f erred the whole
pnu tii-e of tiro vilhtge to my care.
He took froau the first a friendly in:
terest in my welfax-e, and gave me much
useful advice and information, his long
experience rendering all he imparted
of great value to a young physician.
Scarcely an evening passed but found
me at his cottage, to discuss the cases
of the day, in ea4.i1 and all of w hich he
took keen professional interest.
Hut, before I liad been, a year in
Cresham, I found my professional talks
formed but a secondary interest in
my visits to Or. Famell's cottage.
When these were over, and t tie aged
doctor dozod in Ida chair, or nodded
over a. book, iAonie Farnell, his grand
daughter and ho use ke-ej xt, would touch
the piano keys to aoi-om jiany her sweet,
clear voice in my favorite songs, or
would talk to me in her womanly way
of tine atients, wlio were all friends
of Iter ow n, many of them her pension
ers. Let me try, looking through the
clouds that rolled soon between us, to
picture Leonie Farnell as she was in
that first year-of my love for her. My
love, I say, for it sprang into my heart
strong and undying- tbe first time her
soft, brown eyes met mine in shy greet
ing. She was pretty, but no wonder of
beauty, her great charm lying- in Iter
grace of movements, her low, sweet
voic-e and a gentle, refined modesty.
She had lieen carefully educated, but
had no brilliant accomplishments, un
less a gift of inaking home au altoget It
er charming pbce may rank in that cat
egory. Orphaned in infancy, she. had
been the darling of her grandfather's
heart, but, dearly as he loved her. he
was never averse to my suit. He res-1
my heart's secret even before I guessed
its depth, and in his quiet way favored
the friendship' between Leonie and mv
fcclf. A year, the one bright year in my
tiolitaxy life, passed away, and 1 pre
pared to speak to Ionie of my love.
1 had waited until I felt secure of im
position at (iresham, and I ho-d to
waken some warmer token of love mi
Leonie's part. For even then I guessed
dimly, what I know, and soon knew cer
tainly, that I had won only a calm, sis
terly affection in return for the absorb
ing devotion of tuy heart.
1 have said nothing yet of my inter
course with, my Uncle tireshaau. the
grandee of the little village, whose
large, handsome house was the center
ot attraction to all strangers, and whi-se
iiM-ome was supposed to lie something
of almost fabulous extent, and really
was that of a very wealthy man.
During that first bright year of my
life in the village he had -started, my
intercourse with my uncle was as pleas
ant us all otbt-r parts of my life, and
1 was a freqtaent and welcome visitor
at his house- ,
Hut in one brief sentence I may re
cord the event that wrought a chaiige
in all my love, my friendships, tuy
welcome at (iresham Place. My cousin,
Sidney, Uncle tiresluuu'a only child,
-une home from Euroiie, where he had
been traveling for five years.
From that time 1 marked a change
in my reception at the house, where
1 hail been assured of moist cordial Wel-i-.iiiic,
and my visits soon became those
exacted by my gratitude only. It hurt
i ire cruelly to see that my uncle's affec
tion was being won from me, but there
was a far more bitter cup soon to be
placed at my reluctant lips.
Sidney came to Dr. Farnell's as a
guest sure of a welcome, to renew a
friendship only interrupted since loy
hood by his travels. And the first time
I saw him with Iyeoiue I knew why my
love had failed to meet its return. A
childish friendship hael grown by that
long teparation into a life love. The
eyes that had ever met tniue with tie
frankness of friendship di oopnil shyly
beneath 'Sidney's gaze, while the cheek
that hud never changed color for me.
fuslied at his coming, even before he
spoke.
Yet I would not quite despair until
meeting them together, on a hazy June
evening, walking slow ly, as lovers wall..
I heard a soft, sighing voice wh'sper:
"I have always loved you, Sidney!"
In their happiness they never guessed
my presence, and I shrank lutck In hind
a friendly tree till they passed me by,
and were lost to my sight.
Tlien I threw myself into my profes
sional duties, trying so to feedany starv
ing heart, studying diligently, and giv
ing every case in my care ardent inter
ests Dr. Farnell gurssed all my misery,
and, when, I came more and more sel
dom to his' cottage, he crossed the road
frequently to visit me. Once only hei
spoke. "I am sorry Leone loves Syd
ney." he said, after telling- me of their
engagement, "for he is a man I never
liked nor trusted. Itut a woman's heart
is wayward and mast follow its own
will. There is no reason not one to
set against her love, so 1 must bear my
disappointment as best I may."
Aisi 1 knew my kind old friend meant
that he had hoped tny love would win
Leonie's heart.
While August was burning up the
vegetation with a long drought, we had
several cases of malignant fever in the
village, and one morning I was shocked
at receiving a note from my uncle, say
ing Sidney had. the 1 mptoins.

I hurried to the house, and inv uncle
led me directly to the sick room. Hutas

"Wluit brings you hen-? Where is Dr
Farnell r
"Dr. Farnell (Vies not practice," I re
plied. "He will com. tome! lie must! I
will not trust my life, in the hands of
my heir and my rival in love!"
I started I iack as if he hail struck me
a blow. Hef, re heaven, I could swear
that my -osihle heirship had never
crossed my mind, and 1 hail never
thought to try to win Ieonie. once I
knew her love was given eh-ewhere. 1
could not speak, but I -sent Dr. Farnell
to my cousin.
In one short week the villagv church

Two hours lief ore the time set for tin
funeral I went to my uncle, and.
though he had clung to me in those bit
ter days of mourning, I asked for the
first time to see my cousin.
I have often questioned the fatality

IW-ad! His words came back to me as
I look i-d at him. I was my uncle's heir.
I might yet hoj-e in tlie future to win
Leonie.
Suddenly thi' blood rushed to my
heart, almost suffocat ing me: my hands
f.-rew cold, my legs shook under me. My
eyes-, fixed upon Sidney Ires ham's face,
grew dim, ami I should have fallen had

For. with my professional instincts

loosely matted together at the roots,
vxh-ch li.aki- a sort of cup or tia-sjii. to

catch all floating vegetables or animal

ami after aw Idle birds may drop plant
