Caring an In sane Patient.

A patient entered the consulting mom walking backward, muter the delusion that bis bead bad got A twist round and that bis face turned the wrong way. Instead of laughing at him, as I expected, the doctor entered into thj; case with the greatest gravity, tapping his patient's head ail over, looking into bis throat and ears and sympathizing with him. The patient was at once won over and priced the utmost confidence in the doctor's assurance that a complete cure would be effected in a few days, voluutariiy exercising the greatest care in carrying out the medical directions, which consisted iu elaborate nothings to-keep the patient occupied. A day or two afterward the doctof met him with feigned surprise and congratulated him. “On whatV” asked the patient. ‘ Judge for yourself,” replied the doctor, handing him a mirror. The man surveyed bis corrugated countenance intently for a few seconds, when with the dawn of conviction there stole B grin into his stern features. Thanking the doctor, lie skipped out of the room In a frenzy of delight.—London Tit-Bits.

Marvel of Memory.

A postal clerk in a civil service examination did not make a single error in properly 80fting 42,000 test postal cards, each representing a post office In a certain'territory assigned. This was done at the rate of thirty-three ami one-ha if cards a minute. -“V.ax more noteworthy," thinks American Medicine, “is the memory of an expert piano player, who will play an entire season's concerts without a note of printed music before him. His memory is so perfect that hundreds of thousands of notes must be at the orderly and instant disposal of the will, and this is combined with a multiplicity of synchronous recollections of timbre, tempo, expression, etc. The mystery is at present past the hinting of any explanation, and this fact is as beautiful as it Is-appalling. It shows us how far we are from any real science of psychology"

Legend, About the Moon.

"In Ceylon,” says a historian, “it is ■aid, that as Sakyamuni was one day wandering half starred In the forest a pious hare met him and offered itself to be slain and cooked for dinner, whereupon the holy Buddha set it on high In the moon that future generations of men might see it and marvel at Its piety." In the Samoan islands these dark patches are supposed to be portions of a woman’s figure. A certain woman was once hammering something with a mallet when the moon arose, looking so much like a breadfruit that the woman asked it to come down and allow her child to eat off a piece of It, but the moon, enraged at the insult, gobbled up woman, mallet and child, and there in the moon’s belly yon may still behold them.

English Street Names.

The English towus have more distinctive and interesting names for their streets than American towns, in most of which many streets are simply numbered. London’s Cheapside and Aldwych are more than matched by oddities many times stranger. Bootham is a street in York and Botchergate in Carlisle. Norwich is assertive of class distinctions in its Gentleman’s walk, and Shrewsbury may stand almost at the head of a' list of peculiarities with Its street labeled Dogpole, which may or may not be related to Newcastle’s Dogleap Stairs; but, then, Newcastle has Pudding what may that signify? _

The First Glass Caps.

The, first glass cups were made ,at Alexandria. Some were colored like Bohemian glass and decorated with glass pastes, imitating precious stones and cameos. Some were opaline, others clear as crystal and still others formed of opaque layers welded together like the famous Portland vase. In which the white upper layer had been cut away like that of a cameo, leaving a blue ground around the figures. .

Anticipated Him.

“I ran across a remarkable Jeu d’esprit tbe other day," said the casual acquaintance who Is ambitions to be entertaining. “I’m sorry.” said Mr. Cumrox, “but my wife has just returned from Europe with a whole lot of art treasures, and I shouldn't have any place to hang It even if I bought it/'—Washington Star.

Thinks Well of Himself.

•isn’t it strange,” remarked Mra Billina to her husband, “that I can hever get a good bargain In shoes?” “You did once,” said her husband. “When was that?” “When you got me.”—Chicago Rec-ord-Herald.
