THE CROCUS’ SOLILOQUY.
1 wa'.ed ere bluebirds ’nan to trill—
When peony bulb* In slumber lay.
And wild winds whistled loud and shrill
Across the sunset bayl
I roee. tor then 1 longed to see
Again the friends I loved: but. oh.
My thorny neighbors hindered me;
That's why so frail I growl
Red roses my proud neighbors are.
And one old hypocritical plum!
They rake my breast anil is it fair
That they so uear should come?
But though they build their tangled bowers.
Not one of every prickly elf
Can catch a sunbeam for their flowers.
Ay. quicker than myself!
In early spring their stalks are bare.
And through them glance the sunbeams
bright;
By rising earliest my share
1 get of life and light!
1 love the world! tny friends I love!
But. oh 1 never wrong my neighbors!
On those who strive their worth to prove.
Fortune bestows her favors!
—Arthur E. Smith in Arkansaw Traveler.
A Jeweler’* Story.
A jeweler relates this surprising story:
•‘Some time ago Mr. A. came to my
place and bought a pair of djiupond ear-
drops for his daughter a girl of seven-
teen or eighteen who was attending
school. Her teacher was struck with
the gems and asked leave to borrow
them and take them home. This per-
mission was readily given. A few days
later I went into a lapidary’s shop that
1 was in the habit of visiting to get jobs
done once in a while and there 1 saw a
pair of earrings beside the cutting wheel.
‘Hello’ said I ‘where did these come
from?'
‘‘The lapidary said: ‘Oh that’s a job
that came in this morning from Fnnken-
stein down the street. He wants the
diamonds taken out and paste put in
their place.'
“ ‘Well.’ said 1 ‘you’d better save your
labor. Don’t do any work on those until
you hear from me.' 1 went to Mr. A.
brought him to see the earrings then we
went to Fun kenstein’s together and asked
how he came by them —for they were the
pair that I had sold a few days liefore.
He said that they had been brought to
him by Mrs. a school teacher who
had concluded to sell the stones and re
place them with imitations. We decided
to spare the woman and of course the
diamonds were returned but 1 nevei
learned how Funkenstein squared ac
counts with her.” —Brooklyn Eagle.
Latent Diphtheritic Germ*.
1 might mention many physicians'
families that have been desolated by
diphtheria contracted from them. The
occasional latency of diphtheria and the
necessity of a more frequent inspection
of the fauces of children who have been
exposed to the disease so as to be able
to detect and isolate these walking eases
was forcibly shown by the following in-
stance:
1 was once called to a boy with diph-
theria and it occurred to me to examine
his sister who had left the call at my
office. She was then in the street with
some playmates and was apparently as
well and cheerful as they were. On in-
specting her fauces a small but charac
teristic grayish white patch was ob
served over one tonsil. —Dr. J. Lewis
Smith in Babyhood.
Funny Speeches.
Grose relates that Caulfield meeting
Mr. Thomas Sandby. said: “My deal
Sandby. I'm glad to see you. Pray is it
you or your brother?” It was a Spaniard
who remarked ingeniously that an au-
thor should always write his own index
let who will write the book. Edgeworth
relates the story of an English shop-
keeper who did pretty well in the direc-
tion of the bull proper when to recom-
mend the durability of some fabric for
a lady's dress he said “Madam it will
wear forever and make you a petticoat
afterward.” This is quite equal to the
Irishman’s rope which bad only one end
because the other had been cut away.—

A Sufficient Epitaph
It were a pity that the good sayings
and witticisms of Lowell should be lost.
I send you one of which he was the
author at a medical dinner given in Lon-
don a few years ago. In his speech he
alluded to a distinguished surgeon whose
fame was so great that no marble monu-
ment was required to commemorate the
name. The doctor’s friends said Mr.
Lowell thought it sufficient to lay him
in the country churchyard with the sim-
ple and famous epitaph on his grave:
Si monumentum quwris circumspice.
(If you seek a monument look around).
—Cor. St. James' Gazette.
A Simple Cure for Consumption.
An American physician. Dr. Helmer
asserts tiiat a dose of peroxide of hydro-
gen twenty drops in water every day
will do more toward curing consumption
than anything previously used for that
purpose. He further states that sixty
drops will sterilize a quart of milk and
render it harmless to children. This is
applying peroxide of hydrogen to nobler
uses than bleaching hair for which pur-
pose it has been principally used. —New
York Recorder
The largest tuning fork ever tuanu
factored was made at Hanau for the
Physiological institute at Leipzig aud
weighs twenty-seven kilogrammes or a
little over seventy-two pounds aud gives
fourteen double oscillations a second.
