BARRY. Miss Abigail Burr was a little Drown t>ld maid, who lived in a little bro vn old bouse with her oat, Debby, ai d her woman ot-all-work, Prudence, sharp of tongue, long of visage, browner and older than the mistress herself. There ■was nothing of grace, nor beauty, nor <> sweetness, about Miss Abigail’- life; everything was dry, and hare', and husky, indeed, some .people wow so unchar table as to sa.y that her heart was like a very much dried-up fcf..tiel in a nutshell, and Would rattle if sh- were to be shaken hard enough. But I never quite believed that. I always i said there was a soft spot in i\liss JF AbigaTs heart, to be found when the time (kme to find it One spring twilight a boy ripened Miss Abigail’s garden gate and walked up the path between the rows o: straggling hlacs. He was not a boy who lived about Caperstown or he would not have dared venture, I am sura, for Prudence’s sake, besides hay ng noth- , lag to venture for. He was a a unkempt starved-looking little specimen of humanity. His coat was a wo Id too long and patched at the elbows; and his trousers were a world too sheet and patched at the knees. His hgt was guiltless of brim, and through a hole in | the crown bobbed a little tuft of hair • which had once been brown, bit; was now wofully faded. He went straight up to Miss Abigail’s porch steps. Miss j Abigail was sitting on the porch In her j high-backed rockmg-cha'r so intent on binding off her stocking-heel that she heard neither the cli k o the gate lat h nor the footsteps on tie hard-trodden path, and she did no’ look up unt 1 the boy’s figure interposed itself between her work and the fading unset light He doffed his tattered hat-crowa. ‘ If you please, ma' am. will you—may 1 have something to eat?" It was not at all a tramp’s manner of asking; there was a manliness in the voice wliich Miss Abigail cou d net help but notice. Perhaps that was the eason 1 she looked at the boy sharply for a moment before she answered. In that j moment Prudence, tall and ar gular. | stood in the door, with, a siiawl thrown over her head, and her right hand swathed with soft cotton •‘I’ll have to git Jonas Barrow s man to do the milkin’,’’ sa d she. *• I can’t. I’ve b rae I my hand that bad.” The boy looked up q ickly. •* Can’t I—co Id 1 milk for you? ” As I have int mated, Pruden e dd not like boys; an i that she sometimes expresse I her dislike in a very f ro b e manner m.jny of the village ur.-h ns ton d testi y. Now, she surveyed this boy,,standing by the porch steps, from his bare brown feet to his brown head, not forgetting the faded little tuft, in dumb astonishment •‘You might let him try, Pruden -e,” said Miss Ab gail, thinking rather dubiously of the, nervous, mouse co o ed Alderney in the yard. “ J chored on a farm all last summer,’’ explained the boy. eagerly, g ancing from mistress to maid. *‘l want some supper, and I’ll be g ad to-do sou ething 4o pay for it" “Well, you kin try it," sail Prudence, after a momentaiy deliberation. It’s tetter’n begging a favor, anyhow." She lea the way to the kitch n, and took a shining tin pail from the dresser. “Here’s the milk-pall,” she said to the boy, who stood waiting; “ an’ the Oow’s in the yard vouder. Pay-day comes wh n the work’s done.’’i And Pru ence smilfed grimly as she went abo t setting out ad inch c ; bread and butter and co’d meat She felt morally certain that the flighty Aiderney heifer, used only to woman-k nd would ' be mucWonore likely to spread a pair of bovine wings and fly a" av than allow herself to bo. milked by a boy. *■ He oan’t do it,” she said to Miss Abigail, who presently bro git her knittng work in the kitchen. “The he fer’ll send him skv-hisrh.”

But he could and he did. » on he appeared in the doorway, his pail brimmini; with snowy loam. “Well I ney'er ’’ ejaculated Prudenoe. “You d'dn’t think 1 eould?’’ said the "boy, smiling brightly. • No, I didn't/’ admitted P idence; and straightway, in her astonii-hment, she added to-his fare a segment jf rhubarb pie. • Wasn’t there a bit of cheese left from tea?” asked Miss Abigail. Prudence, thought there was, and while she was letch ng it fr m ;he cellar the boy gave h mself a wealthy " scrubbing at the pump, coming n from his ablutions fresh and ruddy a> a rose. He was very hungry; there ras no doiibk of that. He looked at Miss Abigail with a eprecating smih: as Prudence carried off the bread-plate for a third replenishing. •Tm pretty hurigrr.” said he ‘This Is the first bite I’ve had since Morning and it tastes good. ” To be sure it did. Miss Abigail thought of a little brother who died years and years be ore. ere hist tender feet began to feel the pricks in life’s path. How strange that the sight of this little vagran', satisfying his craving at her kitchen table, should bring to her remembrance the child rho baa so early ptit off the mortal for the immortal Presently, when the jot had finished his repast, he la d his 1- aife and fork across his ffiate with a me ;hodieal i precis on which it pleased Miss Abigail | to see and then he glanced from Prudence, standing near her wit i arms akimbo, to Miss Ab gail. “Thank you for my supper,” laid he. “May be I’d best be getting alo ig. Yon don’t wanta boy to work, do ye i.J” “A boy—to work!” echoed Prudence, i “Did I ever!” 4 “No, we don’t,” said Miss Abigail, ! shortly. And then—it 'was strange enough that she could not help hinking again of that frail little life wl ieh had blighted in the bud so long belti'e. “How far are you going?” sh i asked. “I don’t know, ma am.” And where have yon come from?” proceeded Miss Ab gad. “Trescott, ma’am.- Mothc ‘ died there three months ago.” The e was a pathetic quaver in hie voice. And then, with little que tioi Ing, he told his simple story. His ni me was Barry Olmstead, ana he was twe ve years old. He had Jiyed in Tr oeptt * j

long time—be and hie mother; they were very poor, but they had kept a little home together. His mother had taken in sewing, and he had worked for the neighboring fanners summers, and tone to school winters. And he had oen happv, for all they were so poor, until—mother d ud. " Then 1 stopped with Deacon Staples a spell; he said he wanted to trv me. lint they were going to bind me oat to him, and so I ran away," “ None to blame, nuther," interposed Prudence, with a great deal of emphasis. “Pve seen old Staples, down to Trescott. He’s that mean he’d skin a mouse for the h de and taller:” “I’ve been trying along for a chance to work,” continued the boy, smiling faintly. Ho was very near to tears now, but he h-.ld them back sturdily.’ “But there don’t anybody seem to want me.” Miss Abigail was moved more than she would have cared to own by this recital. Kven to her, who had lived tor self so long, there was something indescribably pitiful in the thought of this little wanderer battling alone with the Vror'd. buffeted by fortune, drifting here o;- there,' as chance might dictate. It had grown dark now—the lamps had long since been lighted; and there were mutterings of distant thunder in the air. “ It’s going to rain,” said Miss Abigail. ‘‘You ueedci’t go to-night; you may s.eep in the stable loft” Barry th nked her. The storm broke with great violence. And while Miss Abigail listened to the sh rp peals of thunder and the pouring of the rain against the windows she thought o the lonely little wayfarer in the stable loft w'th a new, strange throb of pity. Morning came, merry with bird song and glistening with myriads of rain drops. Prudence was up betimes. but, early as it was, she heard the sound of an ttx in the wood-shed; and when she opened the door Barry smiled at her from his post by the chop

ping-mock. t “ I don’t think I paid enough for my supper—I eat such a lot,” he^said, “so I’ve split some ktudlings and I’ll milk for you this morning if you want me to. ” Prudence brought the milk-pail without a word. But when she had prepared Miss Abiga l's morning mea', she made read v a good, subs' antial breakfast, for Barry, a so. When he had eaten it he took up his hat crown. “ Go out the way you come in.” said Prudence, “’r else vou’ll bring bad luck.” "Barry gave a little inoredulous laugh, but he went 'out to the porch, ivfss Ab gail was there taking dee > breaths, of the fresh air, and she bade him a kind “ Good morning” as he went off the step and down the path again betw en the li aos, exuberant in growth but meager in bloom. ‘‘I wonder wh. my lilacs do not flower more freely.” This Miss Abigail said to Prudence, who had followed to the door. "1 dunno,” answered Prudence. Barry he rd, and turned ‘ I guess it’8 because you leave the old blossoms on,” he sad, hesitatingly. “Mother u ed to say I must pick the blossoms off one year, if l wanted any next.” And then he went out of the gate, closing it ca efully behind him. and along the moist, brown highway. ‘ That is a very uncommon b«y.” sa d Miss Abigail, looking ■ after him with serious eyes. “Yes,” assented Prudence, “he’s a clever ’nough little ohap—for a boy.” “To think of his knowing about the lilacs," continued Miss Abigail, meditatively. “ I must out off all the flowers this spring.” * “ An’ he got as good a mess o’ milk from the heifer as I eould ha’ done myself with a well hand,” Prudence went on. “Yes. he would have been handy about milking and getting the wood for you.” said Miss Abigail. “ An’ bringin’ the letters from the post-oboe.” proceeded Pruden e. “Its a good piece o er to the village in muddy walkin’.” “ So it is,” said Miss Abigail. She ga ed reflectively along the road which wound serpentine, to the little hamlet a mile away. Barry was climbing the hill, a n ere, pitiful, lonely speck in the distance, as he was a mete ins gnificant atom-in the gfeat body of humanity. Miss ' bigail’s eyes Ailed.. •We might have kept him,” she said. “ Tain’t too late yit!” put in Prudence. The two women looked into each others eyes. “If you eould make him hear,” began M ss Ab ga l. For answer Prudenee strode to the road, and sent a long, quavering cry after Barry. “ B-o-o-y!” But the little figure they were watohing plodded steaa ly on. “Gimme the o t! tin horn out’er the kitchen, Miss Abigail;” called Prudence, excitedly. “ikuick" Miss Abigail, staid spinster that she was, without a thought of the ludicronsness of the proceeding, ran to the kiitchen, snatched the horn from its nail, and ran out with it to Prudence. And Prudence put it to her lips and blew a blast so long, so loud, that it star: led the birds into silence, and set the echoes ringing from hillside to hillside.

•• He c’n hear that if he o’n hear anything.” she muttered. He did. He stopped. Prudence flourished the horn in frantic excitement There was a moment of suspense; and then Prudence turned to Miss Abigail, standing by the gate. “ e’sa-comiir back,’’ she said. When Barry, breathless with the haste he had made reached (he cottage, Miss Abigail was waiting on the porch. • We made up onr minds to keep you, 1 said she, **so long as you don’t give too much trouble.” “O, thank you. ma am!” cried Barry. “Indeed. I’ll try to please you.” I am sure he has succeeded; for the lilacs have been in bloom three times since that morning, and he is with Miss Abigail yet, growing tall and strong and manly as i he years go by. He t 111 the bit of a farm, which had so long lain unimproved and in winter attends school at the village where he is in e ;- cellent repute. He is, withal, so faithful and helpful and kind that Prudence is fain to apothegmatke the horn after this fashion: “ Harnsome is as harnsome does; an* you’re deservin’ of a bed o’ velvet old horn, for the good deed you done that day.”—Ada Carletan Stoddard, in Good Cheer. —The methods of “General” Pooth of the Salvation army, are illustrated by the following performance, whioh took place recently at Plymouth. I ng and •• A rouyh ooking bulky man stepped forward in a dilapidated jersev and* trousers to correspond, and related the bles ings he had experienced as a result; of his conversion. Suddenly, before the and ence, the man loosened two or three strings, kicked off the jersey and trousers, and stooi I confessed in the smart uniform of the amy— trim, orderly and respectable. There was at first a murmur of surprise, and then a chorus of • hallelujahs’ from all parts of the meeting.” —Speaking the other day of “Hickon” Jackson, General Sherman s id: “When I first came to Washington City a< a boy I went up to a sort of paling find hedge in the rear of the Wfc te House and peeped through, with a good deal of awe, to see General Jackson taking his walk, with a staff in his hand, in the grounds, and I can recall yet his very lean slender figure, bony chest, and long face and big, bread-brimmed hat ns bn walked up and dovra.”

Brother Gardner’s Idea of Charity. “ Las’ fall,” said Brother Gardner, as he gaaed down upon Elder Toots in a paralysing way, **I made some remarks upon the subjlek of charity. It seems dat my posishun Was misunderstood, an' dis evenin’ I hope to make it plain. “ De Good Book speaks of oharity a thousand times, an’ a big sheer of de nle believe dat de word as used in ibte means dat we mus’ open onr parses to de poo’! In de fust plaoe, I airnes'.ly believe dat de charity of do Biole means lookin’ lightly upon de faults of our feller-men. It means dat we must oberlook, excuse an’ forgive. Charity covereth a multitude of sins! Does dat mean a loaf of bread passed outer de kitchen doah to a beggar, or does it mean dat he who oberlooks de faults of others shall have some of his own condoned? I hold to de latter. “ But let us admit datde oharity of de Bible means aidin’ de poo’. If I aim ten shillings a day an’ work in cold an’ heat an’ rain—if my wife economizes an’ I am keerful—if we go slow an' dress widin our means an’ manage to lay up a few dollars, what man or woman on airth has de right to tell us dat I mus’ pass any part of my savin’s out to people who am poo* frew their own fault? Whar’ I have worked they have loafed. Whar’ I have pinched dey have squandered. Whar’ lhave denied myBelf dey have cut loose wid a free hand. ”Dar’ am not an able bodied' man in Americar who can’t aim sufficient to board, clothe and school a family of six and send his wife to church on Sundays. Dar’ am not a widder in dis kentry who can't airn at least a dollar a day at some occupashun. Dar’ am not an orfan who has de shadow of a right to ask any man fur a nickel.

» “Our public chanties am so many frauds upon tax-payers. I defy de most ardent philanthropist in dis kentry to show me one case whar’ a oity poo' fund dealt out to paupers has lifted any-body-above axin' agin. De city which raises de moas' money has de moas’ paupers. Figgers prove it, an’ yet philanthropists won't admit dat* it proves anything. “Let me start out to morrow an’ han’ five dollars each to one hundred solicitors of charity an' how many would have a dollar left by night. At least half would spend a portion for beer, whisky or tobacco, and not twenty of de lot would buy wood, flour or clothing. “He who gives to a tramp encourages loaferism, thieving an’ a dozen crimes.’’ “He who gives to man or woman able to walk de streets am a supporter of vice an’ idleness.” “Dat’s whar’ I stan’ on de one side of de question of charity, an’ each passin’ day turns up somethin’ to convince me dat I am correct. But now whom I do feel fur, an’ to whom kin I give? If I assist an able-bodied man to aim his own bread, dat am charity. If I kin prevail upon a father who am wastin’ his money in drink or at cards to put it Into his family, dat am charity. If my poo’ nay bur loses his horse I have a five dollar bill fur him. If he loses a child I have ten. If he breaks a leg or an arm I’ll sheer my meat an’ taters an’ wood wid him 'until he kin work agin. If a father falls sick an’ has nuflin ahead my kind o’ charity chips in fur a shake-purse to pull him frew. If a stranger comes among us an’ am ill' let us make him well. If fire or flood devastate a section, let us send relief. If a widder am left helpless let us fill her coal-bin an’ flour-bar’l. “ Injtwenty vears America has raised up a class numberin’ tens of thousands who shirk work, who make salooifs pay, who have doubled the number, of police and jails an’ prisons—who steal, mb and ravish—who infest street corners an’ prowl frew alleys—who add nothing except to illiteracy an’ vice, an’ she has raised ’em up by her system of mistaken charity. Philanthropists may squirm an’ women make wry faces, but de preachins of de one an’ de sympathies of de odder have made Ue word charity synonymous wid Vice and Wickedness.

Organist of St Paul’s Cathedral, London, than whom there could uot be higher authority in regard to organs, organ mus e, etc., has shown his appreciation of Arneri an instruments by preparing an instruction book especially for the Mason o. Hamlin organs.* It has already been published in London, but will be immediately republished in this country by Messrs. Ditson * Co. Messrs. Mason v Hamlin have also received very rec>ntly two noteworthy oomplments for their organs from 1 ondon. One is in the sale of an organ to Her Ma esty Queen Victoria; the other is the announcement that one of them will be used in. Westminster Abbey on the l()th, 12th and 18th of this monlh, with full orchestra and cjiorus, in the production of Gounod’s “Hedemption,” under the direction of the Organist Of Wes minster, Dr. Kridge. The same organs were used last week in the pro luction of the same work by the Philharmonic Society of Brooklyn, N. Y., under the direction of Theodore Thomas, and will be similarly used next week in the production of the same work by the Cecilia Society of Philadelphia, under Mr. Thomas’ direction.—Boston Journal.

Good Enough. A wagon containing a calf in a cage Was on the market: yesterday morning with a farmer’s wife in charge, and a butcher with an eye to veal stepped up and inquired: « “Madam, is that calf for sale? ” “Yes, sir.” “Is he a Durham?” “He may be.” “Isn’t an Ayrshire, is he?” “Like enough.” “Don’t you know his breed?” he asked in a surprised voice. *^No,I don’t.” “'1'ben how do you expect to sell him?” “All 1 know about that calf is that hin father booked a justice of the peace to death and his mother chased a female lecturer two miles, and if that ain’t breed enough to ask four dollars on you needn't take him!” The butcher said the breed was tdl right.—Detroit Free Pr&s. —One of the customers of a Boston restaurant suspected that the waiter who habitually served him made a practice of drinking whatever remained of the bottle of “stout” that invariably accompanied his mid day meal. He disliked the practice and thought to correct it; so he purpose^ left his glass one-quarter fu]l of the brown beverage and then poured in as much Worcestershire sauce. The fact that immediately after the customer’s departure, the waiter was taken violently ill confirmed the suspicion. The waiter was cured of his bad manners, but rhe customer is now a customer of another restaurant. —Boston Post. —Benjamin Franklin's old “bull’s-eye” watch is owned by a man in Lancaster, Pa. Large offers have been refused for this watch, including one of 91,000 per annum for ten years, from a New York watch company, simply for the loan of the watch during that period to display in the w*"dow of their offioe on Bioaaway.—Pittsburgh Post. —Sergeant Ballantyine didn’t escape the interviewer in America. At the Savage Club in London the other might he spoke of this American nroduet and said that “if the Angel Gabriel should come down they would m him, interview him and describe Us horn fo the papers.” j

Stray Freight. “How does your company keep track j of, traoe up and find, and" resiore lost lreight?” asked a representative of the free Press yesterday of a man employed in the lost freight department of one of the railroads in thisotty. “I should like much to give you a# item, but it would be as much" as my situation is worth to tell of our methods. They are very strict in their orders •gainst giving reporters items.” “The work must be very intricate and difficult.” ‘•It is, remarkably so.” “How far away from the shipping or rsceiving point has lost freight at last been recovered?” “Thousands of miles. For instance, last September a package was shipped from Grand Rapids to Detroit, and was lost en route. Yesterday wo received notice that it had been found at Boston and would be sent here immediately.” “How can such errors occur?" ‘‘Many ways. The marking may be indistinct and incomplete, shipping bills are often iuoorrect: and now, for instance, I spent nearly four weeks last August looking for a case of shoes to at last learn they had never been shipped from the factory." ‘•Don’t you ever find mistakes the ol;h|r way? That is, don’t you find freight on ha,nd not down on the shipping bills?” “Yes. I have just such a case before me. A barrel of goods has been received at Adrian, the address of the consignee being all right, but nothing to indicate who sent it. We must find out who sent it, and the letters “C. K. B., Detroit," being on the barrel we have inquired of C. K. Burnham & Co., but they know nothing of it.” “ How do you trace all these facts so accurately?” “ By our receipts, our shipping bills and all of our cartage and warehouse records. Each station agent and warehouse man must be ready to at once give an account of every article which he has received or sent away.” “ Suppose a thing is stolen en route, how do you locate the 3cene of the robbery?” “There are a great many ways in which we learn the truth. As for example, notice was received at this office the other day from a firm in Peoria, 111., stilting that they had received a case'of shoes which had been broken open and four pairs of shoes taken out. Each railroad company has a leaden seal which must be broken before apackage can be - opened, and by tracing the seals we found that the breaking open of the box took place either before it reached she depot in this city or after it was taken away from the depot at Peoria. By further tracing it was at last learned that the shoes were stolen by a truckman at Peoria.”

“ out supposing a freight-loaded car, standing on a side track, is broken into at night?” “ well, that is the easiest kind of shortage to trace. We have just succeeded, in conjunction with all the other roads in this city, in discovering a large leakage in the vicinity of the Detroit & Milwaukee & Grand Trunk Railroad Junction, and while we know that the thieves live in the northeastern part of the city we have not yet located them peijionilly." "Perhaps if your employers were a little less secret about this kind of work there would be less of it to do.” “ Perhaps so.”—Detroit Free Press. The Age of The Cat. A, member of the Hartford County bar, relating some reminiscences of the court in limes gone by, told of a case wherein one of the famous advocates of that time had badgered and crowded a witness until he lost his temper. The witness incidentally said something about a cat, and the crafty lawyer seized upon this as a means of still further worrying the witness. “ How old was the eat?” asked the attorney. i -4 “I don’t know,” rwas the answer. "How old do you think she was?*' "It was a Tom-cat.” "I didn’ t ask about the sex of the -sat, I asked how old it was.” “Yon asked how old she was.” "Well, how old was that cat?” “I told vou I didn’t know.” "Well, liow old do you think?” “O. I can 't tell,” "You can tell how old you think she wasi.” , "1 tell you, I don't know.” ".Slow,” said the attorney, "I want & plain answer to a plain question. How old do you think that cat wa3?” The witness looked straight at the attorney, whose shining bald head was the most prominent feature of his figure, and calmly said, “O, I can’t guess how old the cat was, but she was old enough to lie bald-headed.” The lawyer’s ruddy face assumed a deeper hue, the spectators and members of the bar tittered, and even the stern features of the court relaxed into a smile at the answer which ended that line of cross-questioning.—Hurl ford Times.

A Draft on the Imagination. “My father,” said Gilhooly, solemnly*, “was more sensitive to colds than anybody I ever knew. The slightest exposure gave him a cold.” “That most have been very disagree“Indeed, it was. He never could sit near a draft for a minute without catching cold. I remember on one occasion j he was sitting in the Office of a friend, when all at once my father began to sneeze. He insisted that there was a draft in the room. Every effort was made to discover where the draft was, but in vain. The doors and windows were closed, and there was no fireplace, but my father kept on-sneezing, and insisting there must be a draft in the room, and so there was.” “Where was it?” - “In an envelope on the table, and it was only a little draft for three dollars and forty cents.”—Texas Siftings.

The driver put the brake down hard, but the rear pi tiorm had almost reached the opposite Ade of the crossing before the car came to a stand-still.

Wfcat a Lady of Great Prominence Has to Say About Her Sex. (Boston Globe) On a recent trip by a representative ot this paper to the city of Haverh.ll, Mass., a most important incident occurred, which can not fall to be of the greatest interest to all, especially toour lady readers. The newspaper man met a laiy a t.ritle past middle age with luxurious white hair that contrasted strikingly with piercing black eyes. She possessed a straight, full habit, womanly, but commanding, combined with manners wholly lady-like* and yet pronounced. Any acute judge of human u-ture could see at once that he was in the presence of au unusual person ge—one destined to accornp. .ah more than most of her sex, and to ex-n ap. influence far reaching in Us power. lh s iady was Mrs. M. W. Wing .te. Almost from childhood she has taken a special interest in the bodily troubles of her sex and has probably bee , more suecesslul iu relleviug sufleriug and saving lives th m any other woman in America. Indeed, she seems to have been to women what Florence Nightengale and Dorothy Dix were to the sufleriug soldiers. The inst hces of women who were in the gre.test agony an 1 apparently beyond the reaoh of human aid. that she has restored to health and happiness, are almost innumerab.e, «nd it was only natural that the scribe should become' specially interested and wish to converse with her more in detail.

“How ions nave yon been engaged in the practice of medicine, Mrs. Wingate!” “For more th.n twenty-five years.” “A long time certainly. How did you happen to enter the field at that early day when women in the professions were specially frowned down upon?” “1 thini* I must have inherited a taste from my t.ther, Vroiessor J. C. Wood, of flarv rd College. He was eminent in the profession, a hard worker and equally earnest injils recitations. He bunted considers ly, and I reremember when only nine years old 1 used to dissect tbe birds aud animals he had killed. I felt Inf .United wrth medical scieuc-, even then, aud the Infatuation has continued up to the present time.” “And did you begin your studies so early in life!” “I can hardly say when I began, for I can not remember when 1 did not read medic.d literature. Youwould scarcely Lelieve It, but I was a slender girl and did not weigh over 120 p umis, but 1 used to sit up night after night until two o’clock in the ornmg poem* over my studies aud never dreaming of the fl.ght of time. It seemed as though calls for a y attendance on the sick always came uusol cited. 1 certainly can not fix the d te when 1 first began practicing. O* course most of triy patients were women, and" tie natural sympathy I felt for mv sex has increased Ouriug all these years where 1 have been brought so closely in contact with t. em and have learned to anticipate tneir needs and sympathize with their sufferings. After the opening of the Boston Medical College 1 ai>pe red before the faculty, passed examination >nd received a dip oiua. J fed practiced for years previous to that time but thought >t deist ruble to receive another diploma, which I did without any effort." “Your experience with the many and serious diseases of women havi g been so extensive must a so bn vain biet Cab you give me some facts regard! g them?” “I find th t woman seems born to suffering, and where she avoids It, It is by reason of some care on her part or owing to Some special renewing power. It is true some women go through life without unusual suffering, hut they are noue the less in danger, for there are critical periods all along their pathway when the utmost precaution la requ red. The innumerable complaints called fema'e weaknesses; the irregularities of life and changes of tbe system all indcaie the perils which hang over every woman’s career, and which, unless attended to, may result disastrously.” “But is there no way by which these terrible troubles can be avoided 1” “That has been the problem for years. Tee habits of life aud the demands of fashion are clearly at war with the health of women. I have been, perhaps, unusually successful in my treutmsut of their troubles, hut there have been many casea that seemed specially stubborn. I recall one in particul ir. 1 had exhausted all the usual expedients and the results were not satisfactory. I became worried over the case and really did not know what to do, tut finally thought I would try something out of tbe usual line. I had heard a certain remedy recommended very highly and so I procured some and made a chemical analysis of It I found it was perfectly pure, and that the Ingredients were unusually valuable. So I began giving It to my patient, changing it, however, into a bottle of my own. To my great joy It seemed to have an almost immediate effect and a com dete cure was the result Since then I have used it constantly in my practice and have cured every form of feinile weakness, ss well as displacements, dropsical tumors, cellu dropsy and all such troubles. I have also used it with the best of results in cases of preguancy and gestation. Indeed I have found it of untold value and benefit

•• t:ave you auy oDjection to giving me the name o' this remedy of which you.speak?” “None whatever. It is Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure.” “Why, that is a proprietary medicine I” “Certainly, but what of that4 I have but one end iu view in the treatment o my Ktients, nauielv—their restoration to health. the accomplishment of this end I prescr.l e what I believe to be beneficial, no matter what the professional co sequen es may he.” “I notice in the New York papers that Doctors tiamtrond, .4$rnew and other prominent physicians are taking a similar stund, Mrs. Wingate.” “Yes, and ail independent thinkers in the profession are bound to do so. I am. however, on the best of terms with my profession11 brethren as you can see,” and the lady produced a be ut.ful gold me lal mounted in the form of a badge which had been presented her by the medical s- c.ety, known as the Ensign of toe Humble Family, of which she is a prominent member. A ter examining it closely, the reporter remarked th t the medical nfession e\i eitly were proud of whit she do ie, as 6he might well be in the possession of such a medal. “I am proud of that” she replied, “and I was sIbo pleased a short ti > e since to receive an offer at a larae salary to take the professorship in the new medical college at Walla Walla, on the Pacific coast. I do- not know how they heard of me out there, but I was obliged to decline their offer.” “And so, in your experience with the diseases of women, you h .ve found bucccss, and that Warner’s Safe Cure has been a most efficient renielv!” “Yes, I have had unusual soccers and the remedy of which you speak has been proven of great benefit. There a c, however, some base imitations of it to be found iu the market; these are had and s.rould he avoided, but the genu ne remedy is one of the very, best.” “ And has not the practice of your profession injured your health 1” « “No, 1 am better now than ever before in my life. I fro*.- my limbs last Wiuter. while riding one cold night to see a patient, and was obliged to remain indoors for over two month* Otherwise I am heathy, as you can are by look ng at me.” “ And may I publish this interview, Mrs. Wingate?” 0 “Yes. If what I have told you should he the means of assisting any Women who may be suffering, I aha 1 be perfectly willing to have It published.” “Could ye lind me the loan of a pipe ao'd tobackyl" said Pat; “I have a match.” Personal!
