Rival Schools.

Dr. Scudbery, of the United States navy, has had a dreadful quarrel with his beautiful and accomplished young wife at San Francisco, because in his absence abroad she studied medicine, became a homocopathist, and undertook to cure the community of its ills and her own husband’s bad temper by sugar-coated pills. On his return from a cruise the Doctor found his graduated wife in a homeopathic dispensary attending a patient. The Doctor said: “So the pellet-peddling ignoramuses have roped you in, have they?” She replied : “Don’t be rude, my dear,” and proceeded to administer her little white panaceas. “You’re a quack!” roared the husband. “ You’re a butcher!” screamed his wife. And the little pellets divided them forever.—Philadelphia Times.
