"I've seen him when there was a pot of fifty or more lumps of sugar we al-- aj-- s played for sugar when Ruby wiis in it bluff the entire gang and rake in the (stakes when it proved ho had noth-ing better than a pair of twos. No, he couldn't talk; but he'd wag his head if ho wanted to pass, and his eyo Htood him in good stead when it catno to any-thing ebo. Wonderful eye had Ruby, and I don't suppose we would have killed him if wo hadn't caught him one day, after ho had won nearly all tho sugar in the outfit, scratching his ear and pulling out an extra ace from one of tin) big wrinkle in his neek. Alan, poor Ruby! IIn was a thoroughbred, but too smart for this country, and we had part of him for dinner that day." Forest and Stream. nruin'a Poker ItlufT. George Colo, of Fairhaven, Wiush., rho has had charge of a Port Townsnud Southern party of engineers for soino t:mo past, was in the city the other day, and talked freely of the experiences tha "boys' had had with big game in that wild region. One of the stories which he relates is aa follows: "During the summer we hnd a pet bear one that we caught when it was only a few weeks old, and kept tnitil it rot to be a nuisance. We had trained it down to a fine point. Yon have heard f the educated hog that could read? Well, Ruby couldn't do that ex;;tly, but lie could jday cards, and when it "came me leet slipping around at eaon step whea we see cart bouses in like predicament wa ore led to ask how many of these and the like ailments are caused by the injudicious use of the whip. 'A spirited horse, driven In either trap or cart by an ignorant groom, is rising a hill. j Without a word of wnrning the whip de-- sceuds, a savage lash, and the poor horse suddenly Bprings forward. If we ask com-mon sense how often this can occur with out inflicting material injury the answer cannot lie far to seek. We all know that there are some horses so sensitive that if the driver or rider, in a careless moment, allows simply the weight of the lash to fall upon them it is followed by a spring and a wrench, and these cannot continue without injury, especially when there is a load be-hind. "Coupled with the above, the foolish idea of inherent vice in a horse, and that it is to be beaten out in the bieaking. we feel that, taken over the kingdom, fully one-hal- f of the utility of our horses is destroyed. With sensible treatment horses might retain use and vigorous work to nearly double theatte they do now. What, then, must lie the natural loss" Would it inft be well for owners of horses to use moro effort than is done at present to inculcate among those having charge of their animals a more sensible view of their duties. A large pro-portion of accidents with horses are the di-rect outcome of brutal treatment." Tie:.tniut of HurM'S.

Sickness Should Ho PnnlNhsille by Law. He Advorutes That Them Be No Private 1'rHf'titinnrrn, hut an Organized Medical Police A IlHillral Men. "Sickness is a crime and should bs made punishable by law." This remark emanated from one of th most eminent ami highly respected phy-- sicians in the city. "No physician, however far advanced in his profession he may be, can con-scientiously say that ho is infallibly with the cases he is called on to treat," continued the doctor. "My opinion is, as much as I love my profes-sion, that the sooner tho present class of doctors is wiped out the better. I be-lieve that the government should have complete charge of caring for the sick tjironghnut the country, and that the most inh,"rabh( pauper should have the sumo treatment and show for his life that tho millionaire has. I believe that if such was tho case sicknesscould be re-duced bmieh a minimum that the legis-lature could conscientiously construct a law making it a crime to bo sick. Epi- - uriiiii n C ui.t, I rill ill nil' I ill! sicKiii sM s result, from abuses of the hu-man system und nt glcr. "My suggestion would be to have tho government select, certain physicians and educate them up to the very best stand-ard possible to be obtained in medicine. Let expense be u secondary considera-tion, if it cost a million dollars to reach this end let it 1m sjient. After these physicians have attained their education cause a medical department to lie estab-lished on the same general plan w the police department is run. ins t SlvI K PLAN. "Have a chief of physicians, inspector of physicians, captains of physicians, sergeants and patrolmen, the same as the police department has. Let this city, for instance, be divided into pre-cincts and mid let the pa- - ,h,,,,i, . .itu .,...,, c ,,,,n, .....i ....... . J ,M1J , ItllU where sickness is found let reports ho lii.ide and the proper medical remedies applied. Let every person, rich or poor, receive the s'lme proper treatment. "Let a;arie: of tho of'uc-r- s be of si.cii a tai..l:i! 1 a.i I liio ruics govern-ing ;h Oepartuu-ii- t lie so si riot that it woiiU be lolly for a subordinate to at-tempt discrimination between the rich and poor. Make it a crime punishable by imprisonment for a person to attempt to employ a physician not appointed in thedepartniont. Have it so systematized that a jiersoii colli I not bo taken down siek without the fact becoming immedi-ately known to ti.e department and the disease checked in its incipiency. "For instance, supiose a patrolman should discover a peculiar disease in a tenement houso district. Let him ad-minister to the inin"diat relief of the patient and report the case to his cnt-tai- n. The latter reports it to the chief and the chief sends one of his staff of ex-pert physicians to diagnose the case and then apply the proper remedies. "There is no reason why people should be sick, and when it is discovered that the same persons have become sick sev-eral times with the samediseu.se through their own carelessness they should be arrested mid imprisoned as criminals. CKIMINAL MAM'RACTICE. "As strange and preposterous as it mnj-- seem, according to years of observa-tion and careful calculation and compar-ison with other countries, there are in the United States more than a million cases of criminal malpractice annually under the present system of doctoring. This is one of the principal evils that would bo checked should the government es-tablish such a department as I have de-scribed. "It would lie only a comparatively short tinio when we would have the healthiest city in tho world, and it would ultimately result in establishi ig a condition of affairs wdiere sickness, ex-cept in a natural way, would lx) entirely eliminated. "Why, just take tho report of the mortality in this state. It shows a death rate of 2i!J persons a day, or an annual rate of 1(1 persons to every 1,000 inhabitants. Nearly one-thir- d of these deaths occurred under tho age of 5 years from diseases that with proper and im-mediate attention could have lieen cured. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping cough, measles, diarrheal diseases and typhoid fever were the principal causes j of death. Under the svstem I have de-- scribed patrolmen could have discovered these cases in time to have checked the diseases and saved the persons' lives. "It is tho only way by which epi-demics of infections diseases can lie suc-cessfully eradicated, and the sooner tho government sees the necessity of estab-lishing such a department and over-throwing tho present swtem of doctor-ing the sick tho better it will be for tho nation."'

At o Time Ho Wan Aboard if The "rilc.t letter" Tun Did the MUclilef It Was a Well Wr'Atnn Let-ter, but It Miscarried. The officers of the mess wore Bitting around the wardroom table. It was just after dinner. They wore telling stories of slupwrock and disaster. Eivh one, it appeared, had had a more terrifying ox- - periuuee than tho one who spoko iniuio- - diatejy before him. All had spun their yarn but ono. Ho smoked reflectively In silence for a few minutes. Then ho said: "Vell, gentlemen, you have all had many unpleasant, sonic frightful, experi-ences. Tho story I urn ubout to relate to jou", however, will prove, as you will all admit when you hear it, far moro terri-ble than uny yet told. Tho events hap-pened a number of years ago, but they Lave cast a gloom over my wholo life." Tlioofficcr stopped und pulled upon his cigar in silence for a while. Tho oth-ers settled into attitudes of attention. The olllcer went on: "Soino hero are young in tho service, mid will not remember when it was the invariable custom for a man-- o war to take a pilot aboard upon leaving port. At this time I was on tho Pacific Nation. Our homo port was Sail Francisco, so I hired a house there mid settled my wife in it. At that period tho 'pilot lettur' was an institution among tho officers of thojihip. After wo weighed anchor and began steaming down tho bay all hands would hurry to their rooms and writo farewell letters to their wives, sweet-hearts and mothers. TUB LK.TTKH. "These letters were taken ashore by the pilot when ho left us outride. Ono day we were ordered to tho South Pacific for a loivg cruise. I bid farewell to my i weeping wife, who was suro sho would never see lno again, and promised her most faithfully 1 would send her a long j.'ilot letter. That was at night, and wo expected to weigh anchor the next morn-ing. I sHnt the night aboard, and got tip early. I had soino time on my hands. That letter was a burden on i:iy mind, bo I concluded to write it then and pet it iiit of tho way. I did so. 1 wroto at length, for my heart was full. To bo euro, we did not expect to weigh anchor for several hours, but as 1 wanted to bo r.'ulbtie, I described how wo did it, and then proceeded to describe our ncne cut through tho Golden Gate. 1 bad gone out many times before, and knew tho whole scene perfectly. 1 depicted it in graphic colors. ' I told of tho beauties of the city, growing smaller and smaller and finally disappearing; of the harbor fortilica-tiou- s as they loomed up by turns and by turns fa. led away; of the glo-rious effect of tho late afternoon sun upon the receding California!! shores; of my feelings as 1 rellecled that 1 might never see those lessening shi res or my dear wife again. It was un affecting letter, mid (you will pardon the vanity) a well written ono. It bore upon it tho etamp of sincerity. Finally 1 told her that the pilot was now about to leave us alone upon tho bottomless deep, and that I must (dose. 1 ended with something incoherent, nud signed my name hur-riedly. Thou I directed and stamped it and dropped it into the ship's letter box for tho pilot to take ashore when he loft us in tho evenimr. HOW THE I.ETTKB MISCARRIKD. "Well, the pilot came aboard about 9 o'clock, and we began to weigh anchor, Of course everything was confusion there. About 11 o'clock it was suddenly discovered that there was trouble with the steering gear which had been over- - looked. 1 was detailed to direct the repairing. About noon I reported to the captain that the difficulty of getting at the trouble was such that we would not be able to start before night. It appeared afterward that the captain immediately sent the pilot off, deciding not to start before morning. About sundown I everything as ship shaie, and that we were ready for an early start. The captain was pleased, and readily granted the request made by half a dozen of us to go ashore overnight. We were rowed ashore, a jolly crowd, and as I hurried home I pictured to myself my wife's glad surpriso. "But I cannot descrilie to yon the ex-- 1 tent of my wifo's surprise when sho saw rue. It surprised me, and her curious tearing for the next two hours, some titiioa luf.rTV it1m.Mf 4rt flic Tn.iltit t9 a teria, and then apparently depressed and even sad puzzled me very niucli. After supper she settled down in a calm mood, which, however, seemed only a covering for suppressed feelings of some sort. I stretched myself at ease on the lounge, nd she seated herself heside me. Pres-ently, without warning, she began to read to me aloud. At the end of the first sentence I bounced up as if 1 had been slapped in the face. "At the end of the second sentence I reached out for the paper she was read-ing. But she made a gesture of com-mand, and actually compelled me to sit still and listen to every word of that wretched pilot letter which I had writ-to- n her that morning. Ves, notwith-standing our decision to reinniu at anchor overnight, that wretched pilot had actually brought my letter ashore ut tooon and mailed it. I have wished many times since that I had choked him the next morning." Xew York Sua Eiiitlmid' Fruits in thtt Middle Age. It is a curious fact that in tho Middle Agon England wan horticult.iirally much behind the conliiient of Europe. In Chaucer's time the English larder was very iiiongerly up;lied with vegetables, and but indiib'tvnlly with fruits. Onions, leeks, neltles, peas and mustard were the oidy articles that then ligured in tho short catalogue of Ei.glihh vegetable KMpplies. There is no trace of tho exist-ence of eabhago in England at this Til 11,.. t,, i, rv ,.,., ,ii, of orchards there is no allusion to plums, only once to damsons. The peara were poor, but the apples were good. It isipies-tionuhl- e. whether cherries, raspberries and strawberries bad crossed the Chan-nel. The cherry gardens of Kent were first planted by a servant of Henry VIII. I!o-I'o-the close of the .Sixteenth century, the turnip had reached England; so had the cauliflower anil the quince, for both aw mentioned by (ierardo in his "Her-bal." Carrots, when (ierardo wrote, were still a foreign vegetable, though their naturalization in England was in.it far olT. In 1IJ12 wo hear of tho peach, tho almond mid tho filbert among the products of an English orchard, and in lii-- 0 the apricot was transplanted from Morocco. New York Ledger. The I'ulo.

The arterial current conveys ma-terial for nutriment, heat and force to all the tissues; the venous current receives the dead waste of th4 tisnues und conveys it to the different eliminating organs. The propulsive action of the hpart is due to its successive contractions. These con-tractions occur about seventy times a min-ute in a healthy male adult, more frequent in wonieu, and much moro frequently ia infants and children, beiug at birth from one hundred and thirty to one hundred aud forty, gradually sinking to about one hundred at the sixth year, and to ninety or eixhty-tiv- at the tenth. The arteries are unliko the veins in that they shure in the beating of the heart; but the heating of the heart is readily per-ceived only where an urtery pauses over a bone near tho surface, or when some of a part causes an enlarge-ment, of an artery aud an unusual seiisl- - nvenessoi uie accompanying nerves, ia its iionnai condition the pulse is most con-veniently felt at the wrist. The blood is tho natural stimulus of the heart, and when the poison of disease changes the character of the blood the ac-- m of the, t is correspondingly affect-ed. It is f b--o affected by organic disorders of the heart and arteries, by general weak-ness, hy nervous excitements, by the state of the stomach and by stimulants or de-pressants of various kinds. Hence, as the heart beats ami the arterial beats accord, the character of the pulse is of great serv-ice in determining the patient's physicial condition.
