A JOKE ON A HUNGRY MAN.

joke now and then, and I heard. of ' a most
clever one he perpetrated on an eminent
drianatist a while ago. Mr. Stetson took
the literary - man to Lowell, where his cbm
pany was playing a piece that he wanted re- .
written. On the way down the • author re
marked that owing to a series of accidents
he had missed beat breakfact and lunch that
day and was nearly starved. " Well," said
Stetson, ?well have a royal dinner at Lair
d:L." So when 'they arrived he took the
author to the hotel, ran him up to the coun
ter and said, '" This is Mr, —, the eminent
dramatist, and he's hungry. Get up a fine
dinner for him!" Presently dinner was ea
nonnced and the two went in: They sat
down and the viands. were brought. The
author, hungry enough to eat shingle nails,
was abbut'to begin, but Mr. Stetson gazed
at the, collation
,and said :•,-"It won't do !
Take it away !" " Oh," cued the famished
man, "It's all right I" "It Isn'i," said Mr.
Stetson. "Do you think Mallow an emi
nent dramatist and my- guest to eat' that
stuff ? Take it away !" It was removed,.
and after . a long wait, during ; : which the
author went nearly wild with 'impatience,
more food was brought in. That, too, ex
cited Mr. Stetson's disgust. He would not
consent that his, guest should eat it,d the
author did not absolutely dare disob ey, and
was dragged away to anotherfhoteL 'There,
the sauce performance was ' ‘ gofilli through,
and the dramatist, tantalized by the sight of
Mood he could not devour, became so - - hun
gry... he wanted .to cry. ButStelaan was
Schmid that he sho4i have a repitst'4worthy
of an eminent dramatist, and used 4 'the
time seeking it till it became necessary to go
to the theatre.' The author protested that.
he' must have a bits of something, hut Stet
son dragged him away anstkeiikhini in the
theatre till the, performance was over.' By
that time the literary man's hunger had be
come frantic, and he swore he - must have
'food or perish. Stetson said he knew of a
good restaurant, and he took the wretched
man for a two mile walk, which, in the keen
night air, largely increased his appetite, and
when they reached the restaurant the hotr
was midnight and the place closed. So
_they had to walk back. They found a little
German saloon open, but' the food wasn't
good enough for aneminent dramatist, Mr.
Stetson thought; so the hapless wretch was
torn away. Finally the victim concluded
that he didn't wet any more food, but
would go to bed, and at last, about two' A.
M., Mr. Stetson. permitted him to do so, -
but kept coming into his room and watching
him, so he Lad to go to bed. But about
three o'clock, when the irrepressible had
consented to ttimself 'retire, the eminent
dramatist piled out of - bed, hastily dressed,
went down and aroused the night clerk and
persuaded him tck: hunt up,a lot of crackers
.and cheese, which were - devsured with an
eagerness almost amounting to frenzy, and
which positively bctired hotel attache.
• Throughout, the entire 'rformanee Mr.
Stetsoh appeared to be me ly actuated by a
desire to obtain food for • distinguished a
personage as his guest. —Boston Post. •
CONSUMPTION.
'.., It is said that 50,000 people die annually
-in the United States alone from this disease.
In some sections of the country one death
in every' three is from Consumption. This
can be, and should be avoided; our people
are too careless about an ordinary cough or
cold; and other symptoms of throat and
lung affections that lead to this disease.
You should arrest it while it is in the germ.
'Two or three doses of Dr. Bosanko's cough
.. Sid Lung Syrup will relieve an ordinary
cough or cold. It does not dry ; up a cough
`like many preparations on the market and
leave the disease behind it, but acts directly
on the throat and bronchial tubes, remov
ing all the phlegtn and morbid matter that
accumulates in the throat and lungs. It
allays all irritation, and renders the voice
clear and distinct. Sold by ,C. B. Porter's

NEW CORK DOC T ORS.
Apropos of doctors, a curious case was de:
sided a few davit ago, remarks a writer' in
the Buffalo Cimrier,, A
.doctor, who was
also a ilruggigt, sold his practice to 'another
ioctor, retaining his drug store and stipn
. -biting in th( sale that the other doctor
•,,should send all prescriptiots to him. This
the latter failed t 4), do, and a suit for brawl
of contract kiliosredl- - The court, held Met_
the contrtOeivas good in:law and should be
fulfilled., The purpose 0 the contract was
of course _to have the dOctor play into the
"hands of the druggist bisending him plenty
of prescriptions. I snpjose it is - rpretty well
known that a great many doctors and drug.
gists hive partnerships c?f that kind, though
not on the,same terms. Fully two-thirds of
the doctors in New York are supplied with
prescription papers by .11rug,gists. The ad
dress dt the druggists its printed on each
paper, and in most cases the person receiv
ing the prescription is told to take it to that
address. The compe4tion of the doctors
for this little kindness tit, the druggists is a
commission on the cost of the medicine pro
s_ scribed. There are doctors who do not
stoop to anything of this kind, but they are
a small .minority. Anther, ciistoni 'among
doctors is to farm out t t iieir' practice. This
does not o/cur until a li t llysician has built up
a lug.: practice. BeAhen lets in a younger
' dcictor, turning over - such cases as he ,
cannot conveniently attend to aid taking
part of the fee for hiss nic-e. My author-*
ity for this is a physician who has beet over
-the whole ground himi•elf. But there are
good things to be said for the doctors as well
as thinpitt the other sort. They give more ,
service without pay than any other profes.
eland k
class. There are physicians in - New
_York whose Igratuitons practice represents
4=1500 tol $3,000 a year. It is not un
common for a doctor to give one-third of his
time to patients too poor to pay/ him any
thing. As, a rule, the doctoni who do this'
are well eii'itablished and have a good income,
but some also do ii:whe have veiyilittle cash
surplus at ttte end Of the year. if

Till SHAH AS AN ART' CRITIC;

A yontig•prench painter was showingtlit r
Shah of Persia - his picture of Herodias
bringing in the head of John the "Baptist.
The Shah asked him how .many mittutati
were supposed to have passed since the heat .
was cut off. 4,` Two minutes," said thi
painter. The Shah then told him that; the
lipiT ought to be wide cipiin and, of an, ashy,
white. As the artist was unwilling to be'
:onvinced, the - Shah chipped his hands, ad
a slave'appearing, drew his swrird, and wit
one tremendous- sw'pep i severed his hea
from' his body. He then pulled out hi'
watch and two minutes After stooped down
picked,up_ the Weeding head,' and, walkin
to the picture, held the real head by the sided
of the painted one, and said to die, French!'
man : " Monsieur, you can . see for your.
self that the lips ought to bp , ashy white
- and wide apart, and you will to believe
the Shrdi in fatule." Then he tossed away
the head and calmly walked out, leaving the
painter more dead than alive to' take him.
self and his unfortunate. picture back to hie

own apartments. The shock was so severe
to the painter's nerve that ho became - hys:
terical and remained so for months, iinablt
to do any work. The Shah conferred deco ;
rations and- titles upon him, which cost
nothing, and, giving him just enough mon
ey to take him home, allowed him to leave
Persia, and he now occupies a studio in the

there are rich families in this city that use no

for the best article. There is not only a
fashion in teas, butAlw in the style of get

The most astonished 'man in California at
the present time is probably James H. Budd,
IL C. of San Joaquin.. To say . that Mr.
Budd never . ed the, the people of the
Second Congressional district would 'elect
him to the place so _bong disgraced by
Horace F. Page . is to is . press 4 mild opinion
of the situation. At ilia convention which
nominated him some one said: "Who shall
we put up this time!" Lambs for the
daughter were not numerous. Hold on a
minute," dually Said a delegate ; " Dave
Terry has got a man; PS go and get -him."
He disappeared, but returned iota moment
with Budd. Mr.'; Budd did not like the
idea, but the httlelnot of delegates wither._
ed around him and one ofy, them said:
" Why, take it, Tyin it won't hurt you.
We all have to get ' beat at first." The
others echoed: ;'Yes, take it." and Mr.
Build, with his hands in his pockets and his
hat rakishly tipped to one side, mounted the
'platform. ",Of course I can't beat Frank
Page," he " but ru give him as lively
a rattle as I can, you bet."—Son Francisco
