I A yoting- g-ontlctnan was invited to a party a.t a. private ltiuatic asylum, and, according to his wont, selected the prettiest girl in the room as his partner, and kept up a, very animated conversation with her. In the course of the evening he eaid to the doctor: "Do you know that girl in the white dress with blue spots is a very curious cas?? I've been talking to her, and I cannot for the Me and soul of me discover in what dilreotion her mental malady lies. Of course, I savr at once she was mad-saw it in the odd look of her eyes. She kept looking at me so strangely. I asked her if she did not think she was the Queen, or whether sbe had been robbed of a large fortune, or jilted by tibe Prince of WaJes, and in various ways tried to find oat the cause of her lunacy. But I couldn't. She was too artful." "Very likely," answered the doctor; "yon 800, she is not a. pa,tienlt-ebe is one of the housemaids." Meanwhile the pretty honseanaid went to her feUow-sarva-Txts, a.nd said: "Have you seen the new patient? He's been dancing with me--o. fine man and bronzed, but as mad as a March, hare. He asked me if I wasn't the Queen, if I hadn't been robbed of a large fortune, and whether the Prince of Wales didn't want to marry 1D. He is absolutely mad. What a, pity, and suoh a, fine young man."

ANOTHER COMPENSATION I POINT.
ANOTHER COMPENSATION I POINT. IDs Honour Jndgp Owen gave his decision at Abergavenny County-oourt on Monday in the compensation claim of Jesse Davies, aged 23, of Blaenavon, against the Blaenavon Com- pany (Limited) in respect of an injury received to his knee while in their employ. The case was heard at the last Blaenavon Connty-court. It then appeared that during the period of his incapacity, namely, from June 30 to August 29, 1906, the respondents paid applicant at the rate of 13e. 2d. a week, half of his former wages. On the latter date he had recovered from his accident, and resumed his old employment without any declaration of liability by his employers, there having been no county-court proceed- ings. He worked regularly until January 16, 1907, when his knee gave way, necessitating his again giving up his work. At the county-court Davies applied for a con- tinuance of the compensation. f Respondents opposed the application, on the ground that the applicant had resumed his former employment without having secured a declaration of liability. His Honour, now held that respondents had not proved their contention, and made an award for the applicant for payment of 13a. 2d. a week from January 30, deter- minable in the usual way, the respondents to' pay applicant's costs on Scale B."

Had the" Horrors." I MERTHYR MAN'S SUICIDE. I I An inquest was held at Merthyr on Mon- day on the body of James Lewis, aged 41, who lodged at 49, Grawen, Breoon-road. Mer- thyr, and who cut his throat on Thursday. It appeared that the deceased was a single man, employed as a labourer at the Cyfar-I thfa Works, and that since Whitsun Monday I he had been drinking heavily. On Wednes- day night he and his landlord, David Wil- liams, occupied the same bed. About half- past one o'clock on Thursday morning he awoke and drank a dose of medicine, and returning to bed he slept until shortly before three. He then sprang out of bed "like a madman," as Williams described to the jury, and rushed downstairs. He picked up a table knife and went out to the back of the house, and when his landlord, who followed, got to him it was found that he had cut his throat. He afterwards ran across the Brecon-road, but was fetched back, and in the passage br3 fell down. Police-constable Green was sent for, and alter the deceased had bee& seen by DT. Biddle, he was taken to the hos- pital. The Coroner suggested that the man must have had the "horrors," and this view was confirmed by Nurse Kemp, who said that he was in fact suffering from delirium tremens at the time of his admission The jury returned a verdict that the deceased died from a wound eelf inflicted whilst of unsound mind.

Defendant: Yes, sir. C&lotieTWooda:' And what are you now? Defendant: I am a. collier. Colonel Woods: And you could not keep way from his ground? Defendant: No, sir. The charm was too great for a bit of sport. (Laughter.) Colonel Woods said the bench was sorry to see a man having auoh a training as the defendant in the dock. The benoh oould not look over the case, and defendant would be fined 20s. and costs, with the option of fourteen days in prison.

—————— WHAT A LIVELY ROW! Woman who "Ran Like a Racehorse" A series of assault cases was heard at Llan- daff, on Monday. The parties chiefly interested *were Martha Jane Llewellyn, Elizabeth Llewellyn, and Bctc Hedges, who summoned each other for assault The trouble, it appeared, arose through one of the women going to the house of the other to get an explanation. Martha Llewellyn, stated that Hedges caught her by the "ha-ir of the bead and put her fist in my teeth." Another witness stated that Mrs. Llewellyn ran like a racehorse at Mrs. Hedges. I told her sho was on treapassing ground, and I chucked her out of the place ttiree times." Mrs. Hedges said those on the other side "came to me like a lot of lions," and the whole of the trouble arose through Martha Llewellyn smacking Mrs. Hedges's child. Martha Llewellyn etafted that she prevented Mrs. Hedges from- striking her little sister. when Mrs. Hedges said she would finish me before I went to my situation." The Bench marked a charge against Eliza- beth Llewellyn, the younger, of assaulting Mrs. Hedges's child as withdrawn," the latter teing considered as too young to give evidence. The others- were bound over in the •sum of Lio- to keep the peace.

The question of increased dust at the Llanhilleth colliery screen, due. to the new covering vhich had been erected, had been discussed with the management without result, and the matter was now referred to the executive council for submission to the Conciliation Board. No settlement had been arrived at of the various points in dispute at the Mon- mouthshire and Cwm Colliery, and the men had given notice to terminate contracts. Under the special circumstances the council ) decided to confirm the men's action in tender- ing notices.—It was decided to hold a show of cards throughout the district within the next forthight.

X11000 P IGGERIES.
X11000 P IGGERIES. THE SCHEME ADOPTED. I As chairman of the mental hospital com- mittee, Mr. F. J. Veall brought before the l Cardiff Council on Monday the estimated cost of farm buildings in connection with the new mental hospital at Whitchuroli, the most interesting item in which was that of LI,000 in reepect of piggeries to accommodate 80 pigs. Two other items of £1,(}50 and £ 1,950 for stabling, cart-e'heds, coachhouse, cow- sheds, root stores, &c., made a total of £ 4,000. Mr. Veall compared himself to counsel in a criminal case pleading on behalf of a prisoner who had already been tried and found guilty by outside gossip. Muoh had been said by people who had little knowledge of the facts and less knowledge than members of the committee who had been considering the subject for yea.rs. Before the committee advisea the corporation they had had informa- tion from 40 other asylums in the country, and in every case they kept pigs. Dr. Goodall was of opinion that they should have 30 cows, 80 pigs, aaid the necessary horses to carry out the farm work. The plans whioh had been prepared ,weré based upon the experience of a large number of superintendents of other asylums. Mr. Veall appealed to his colleagues not to be led away by wha.t they rerad and I tXuvr in the newspapers or heard outside. Mr. Morgan Thomas, in seconding, paid a tribute to the chairman of the committee. If ever there waa a, chairman who had taken trouble to effect economies it was Mr. Veall. i In addition to this, Alderman David Jones had gone into quantities and all the deta.ils, and he waa quite prepared to be led by those two gentlemen. The building of the asylum and its accessaries was practically the buHd- m? of a vi&,ge where 800 people were to be kept. Mr. W. JenMns said a pig was a pig, and b? could not &00 tha.t there wa? any necessity l for spending £ 12 10s. to accommodate every pig decently. In his opinion, the whole thing was a marvellous expreseion of extravagance. He moved that the total cost- of the farm buildings be reduced by £ 1,000. Mr. F. G. L. Davis seconded. Alderman Carey supported the amendment, oti the ground that some of the leading agri- culturists of the difftrict had given the opinion that the proposed outlay on piggeries was extravagant. Mr. F. J. Gaskell said that the original plana of the architects hard never been returned for revision, notwithstanding the way in which the extravagance of the whole matter of piggeries had been shown in the papers and elsewhere. The Chairman said that the committee were never of the opinion that the plana were extravagant, and he expected that the gentlemam who wrote the very funny articles in the "Western Ma.il "-funny in the writer's own opi-nion-bad never seen the plane or details. In reply to Mr. W. Jenkins, he wished to say that the building would not cost ZEIZ 10s. per pig, but C5, which included.the proportion of the enclosed yard attached, which was necessary owing to the character of the inmates who would be em- ployed in looking after the pigs. Names were recorded in the voting, and Mr. Jenkins's amendment was lost by sixteen votes to six. Another amendment by Dr. Smith, that the matter he referred to the committee, was also lost by fourteen votes to six, and the minutes with rega.rd to tht matter were then adopted. The voting was as follows:— For the piggeries LI,000 estimate: The Lord Mayor, Aldermen David Jones, Edward Thomas, and Robert Hughes, and Messrs. F. J. Vea.ll, Morgan Thomas, John Mander, J. Stan field, H. C. Vivian, A. J. Stone, James Taylor. J. Cantillon, Jabez Jones, and H. K. Thompson. Against: Aldermen Carey and Mildon, Messrs. F. G. L. Davis, W. Jenkins, and F. H. ] Gaakell, -and Dr. Smith. It will be Been by this voting that only one- ha.lf of the metiibers were present when the division took place. FURNISHING OF THE HOSPITAL TO COST £ 20,000. An extraordinary repo<rt was contained in the minutes c.f the mental hospital com- mittee. It was to the effect that the com- mittee be authorised to accept te-ndern for the various items of furniture for the new mental hospital at Whitchurch without awaiting the sanction of the council. Alderman Carey gave the council a timely warning that the cost of furnishing the insti- tution would amount to the huge sum of about £ 20,000. He strongly objected to any committee accepting a tender of such magni- tude without every member of the corpora- tion being given the right to discuss or criticise it. Mr. F. J. Veall said the object was to get all the tenders in without delay, so that the Local Government Board could hold their inquiry at once into the loan of £ 25,000 rather than that it should be postponed until after the Long Vacation. After discussion Mr. Veall accepted the suggestion that when the committee was pre- pared to recommend a tender a special meet- j ing of the council should be held to consider it in order to obviate delay, t _————
URBAlT POWERS FOR THE GELLIGAER…
URBAlT POWERS FOR THE GELLIGAER AREA. LOOAL GOVERNMENT BOARD I IGNORANT OF RHIGOS. The bid which the pa-risli of Gelligaocr is making for urban powers appears to be bearing fruit. It will be recollected that as a result of an inquiry into the position the Glamorgan County Council Committee recom- mended that the parish should be converted into an urban district, provided something could be done with Khigos, which is a. remote little parish atttaebed to the Gelligaer Rural District. The committee suggested that on this matter the Local Government Board should be aaked for advice, and this was done, the board now replying that they were -not sufficiently aware of the position of Rhigoe to be able to express an opinion, buT, they are disposed to think tha-t the difficulty might be overcome by joining Rh"i gos tc), Neoth, u, change which would not interfere with the Poor-law arrangement. Mr. P. T. James oommunioated this to the Gelligaer District Council (Mr. J. Aureldue presiding) on Monday, amd also stated tliat he had informed Councillor William Davies, of Rhigos. A public meeting had, however, been held in Rhigos, when it was decided to petition the county council to grant Rhigos a separate oouncil. To this the clerk saw no objection. It was then decided by the council to join in the petition for Rhigos to be made a scpara,te district.

Tried to Hang Herself. I BARRY WOMAN AND HER DAUGHTER I Elizabeth Moist, a married woman, of 12, Llewellyn-street, Cadoxton-Barry, quarrelled with her daughter in the morning, and in a fit of temper went out into the yard. Shortly afterwards the woman was found hanging by a rope in an outhouse. She was almost black in the face and unconscious. On being cut down the woman was attended by Dr. E. J. H. Budge, who, with difficulty, rstored her to consciousness. When the woman had sufficiently recovered, Police- constable Knott arreated her on a charge of attempting to commit suicide. Prisoner, a woman of diminutive appear- ance, wa3 placed in the dock at Barry Police-court on Monday charged with attempting to take her own life. William Moist, son of the prisoner, gave evidence in support of the charge. I Ar. J. W. Morris (the justices'-clerk): Have you any idea why your mother did this?— No, sir. II Has she been in very low spiritg ?—Witness hung his head, and did not reply. The Clerk endeavoured for some time to get the son to answer, and, after a good deal of I' persuasion, he said, "It is the daughter," at the same time sobbing pitifully. 'Dr. Rees: In what way?-She answers my mother back. You mean to say that they have many quarrels?- Yes. Mr. Jose: Is there anything else?-No. The Clerk: Has your mother ever threatened to do this before?—No. How old is this daughter?—Nineteen. Dr. Rees: Is she in court?—No, sir. Asked if she had anything to say, prisoner replied, "I am very sorry; I did not intend to do any-harm. I did it just to frighten my daughter." Dr. Budge said he saw the woman about eleven o'clock on Sunday morning, wthen she was in a semi-conscious stafe. She would not give him the reason for her rash act. Prisoner's husband was called, and asked by Dr. Rees what he knew about the matter. He replied, "I got a daughter and she is very wild. I can't do anything with her. She tries to master her mother." Dr. Rees: Is she cruel?—No, but very cheeky. Have you or any of your sons been cruel to her?-No, she's a good wife to me. Is she temperate?—Oh, yes. Mr. Jose: Was there a disturbance at your house between one and two o'clock on Sunday morning?—No, not in our house. The woman was remanded in custody for a week.
"NO FELONIOUS INTENT."
"NO FELONIOUS INTENT." Robert Griffiths was charged at Cardiff on Monday with stealing a stool, the property of Messrs.

How,ell and Co.'s employes stated that he placed the stool in the door- way along with other goods. It disappeared, and subsequently witness saw the prisoner in St. Mary-street with the stool in his hand. He asked him for it, but he took no notice. Cross-examined, witness said the prisoner was certainly under the influence of drink and possibly might not have understood the meaning of his question. Mr. Sydney Jenkins contended that the evidence disclosed no felonious intent. It was a drunken freak. The prisoner was discharged,

Ex-Inspector Groves. I COMMITTEE'S PRIVATE INQUIRY I A special meeting of the Monmouthshire Standing Joint Committee was held on Mon- day at Newport to consider the ciroumstanoes connected with the resignation of ex- Inspector Groves, of Abercarn. At the outlet the Chairman (Sir Henry Mather Jackson) and the chief-constable were not present. Mr. William Thomas, vice- chairman, was, therefore, voted to the chair. He stated that it was a very important meet- ing, and wished the feeling of the members should be expressed as to whether represen- tatives of the press ought to retire. (Voices: "No, no.") Alderman Bowen said it was entirely a matter for the members' decision- They were not living in Russia, and no public servant ought to be dismissed without a hearing unless there were some very good reasons j for the action other than that which had I already been published. The Clerk read a resolution from the Aber- carn Chamber of Trade expressing regret at the resignation of Inspector Groves, and a petition from the urban district signed by 4,210 persons was also placed before the com- mitt&e. Later on the Chairman (Sir Henry Mather Jackson) and tha chief-constable entered the room and apologised for their absence, which was due to the lateness of their train. The Chairman strongly urged upon the members the desirability of holding the 1 inquiry in private, as a number of names would have to be mentioned of persons who had given information, and these it would not be proper to make public. He proposed that the inquiry should be in camera, but that the result be communi- cated to the press afterwards. This was agreed to nem. con. The following resolution was communi- cated to the press, which was said to have been passed unanimously:- I That, after hearing the chief-constable, this committee entirely approves of his action with regard to Inspector Groves.

His deficiency amounted to £ 1,372. He had given an engine and a mortar-mill to Gregor Brothers, Aber- dare. A balance-sheet had been prepared on the death of his father, in order to see what was due to his stepmother. The flguref showing an excess of liabilities over assets were the result of pure guesswork. The examination was again adjourned.

WHIPPED TO A GALLOP. Edward Bown-s, of 20, Victoria-avenue, was charged at Newport on Monday with driving a horse and wagonette furiously on Caerleon- road on Thursday afternoon, after the Prince of Wales had left the town. The evidence of Police-constable Hensley and Police-constable Mounders, who were on duty regulating the street traffic, was that instead of keeping line he whipped his horse into a gallop to pass another trap and dodged in front of a tramcar. The Bench fined him 10s.

ADAM FANNY MOOD Nervousness, Neuralgia, Headaches, Influenza— Madam Fanny Moody's name is so familiar that the popular I prima donna's cordial appreciation of the benefits she has derived from Phosferine will be of great value and interest to all our readers. I Madam Fanny Moody agrees with the great Caruso, Mile. Ghita Corri, and other well known singers, that the voice will always be in first class condition when the nerve system is kept up to its full strength with Phosferine. Even the most experienced men and women I have a foreboding of failure, or doubt their own powers at odd moments, and the feeling arises from an exhaustion of nerve force. In such circumstances a course of Phosferine is invaluable, and the most convincing proof of its efficacy is the fact of its being used by nearly all the well known celebrities throughout the world. Madam Fanny Moody found Phosferine a positive safeguard against nervous break- down, and as a preventive of neuralgia, headaches, chills and influenza, she says it is simply invaluable. A certain preventive. Madame Fanny Moody Manners writes" Phosferine in my opinion cannot be praised too highly, I have used it and can vouch for the extraordinary restorative properties it possesses. I have proved it invaluable for dispelling Nervousness, Neuralgia and Headaches, and it is also an excellent preventive against chills and influenza. One can keep one's voice in first class condition by a judicious use of Phosferine previous to fulfilling an engagement. Arduous work and incessant study entailed a severe tax upon my energies, and I have found nothing restores the balance as readily as Phosferine. We artistes do not by any means escape the effects of ths -1 strenuous life," and for such your admirable tonic Phosferine is price. less. From my own experience I have confidence in recommending it to my friends as being the most unfailing safeguard against that dreaded twentieth century complaint Nervous Breakdown."

To-day's Short Story.
To-day's Short Story. A WONDERFUL CURE Now, I am going to teU you just what my husband said to me this morning, doctor, word for word," and the invalid, Mrs. Stephens, lay back oa the sofa, pillow the very picture of misery. The family physi- cian, who was called on an average to the Stephens' mansion 360 times a year, drew a chair close to the couch and waited patiently for his patient to open her book of com- plaints. Last night, you see, doctor, I had an ill turn, and he wanted to come for you, but then I got so he dared to leave me, and con- cluded that we'd better let you sleep." "Much obliged to him," said the doctor with sarcastic emphasis on the personal pronoun. Last night was the first undisturbed night's rest I have enjoyed for a week." Mrs. Stephens continued: "The spell is the same as I had the last time you were sent for, doctor-" "A slight nervous attack," broke in the physician, "nothing more." Well, it don't make any dinerence what you call it, it was mighty hard to bear; but let me tell you what my husband said, first, doctor, before we go into the symptons. When he was going down to breakfast, he says to me, Kate, whait shall I send you up?' "Says I, I don't want anything in this world but a strong cup of tea. Tell Brddget to send it up in the little teapot.' I saw, doctor, that he didn't move after I said this, so I turned and looked up at him, and such a picture of rage and disgust I never saw in my life. Finally, says he, 'Tea! tea' tea! It is nothing but tea from morning till night, Kate; you are the colour of a Chinaman now. Why don't you order a good beefsteak and a cup of chooolate? That would be a sensible breakfast.' "'But, John,' says I, 'you forget that I am sick, and have no appetite.' "I was ready to cry, but I was deter- mined that he should not have the satiefac- tion of seeing the tears fall." "'Forget!' says he, 'forget! I wish to Heaven I could forget. It's nothing but eigb and groan from one year's end to the other. I am out of patience with you. When we lived in a part of a, house, and you did your own housework, you were as well and happy as anybody, and no man had a pleasanteT little home than Joihn Stephens, but. what have I now to leave or come back to?' And this, doctor, is what he ended up with: — Kate, says he, 'you are nothing more nor less than a drunkard, and in the eight of God more culpable than most of the men who stagger through the streets, because the majority, of them, poor scamps have some sort of an excuse for their conduct, and you haven't the slightest. You have a luxurious home, a husband doing his level beet to make you happy—everything under the light of the sun to please you, and yet you will persist in guzzling tea, and making me as miserable a "wretch aa walks on earth.' Yes, doctor, guzzling was the word he used—boo! hoo! hoo! Oh, dear me! to think I should ever have liv-,i to have heard such dreadful language out of my husband's mouth!" Pretty plain talk!" interrupted the doctor, with a shrug of his broad eboutdens. "Oh, yes," sobbed the victim; "and so awfully coarse and unkind. If I had had a, spell and died there before his very face, I don't believe he would have cared the snap of his fingers. I tell you, Dr. Ellis, there is such a thing as a man's getting hardened." Evidently," replied the physician, with a laconicism absolutely painful. But my husband had nothing in the world to trouble him but just my poor health, and I am sure I can't help that." This remark was more in answer to her com,paiiion's tone and manner than the one etngle word that "had accidentally escaped his lips, and this the doctor felt. "Anybody would think, by the way he goes on," continued the irate woman, "that I enjoyed myself with spasms and pains and fainting fits. Anybody would think it was a pleasure to me to feel every time I see a. funeral procession as if the hearse was going to stop at our door next. Oh, yee! Such a life is enjoyable; very, indeed." Dr. Ellis took no notice of these last words. The man's eyes grew luminous, and his whole face declared that he considered him- self master of the situation; and if Mrs. Stephens had not been so entirely taken up with her own ailments, mental and physical, that honest countenance would have betrayed him. You say," he began, setting himself in the large easy chair, and assuming a strictly professional air, that your husband has nothing to trouble him but your health; how do you know this, Mrs. Stephens?" "How? Way, how do I know anything? By the evidence of my senses. Don't I know that John Step-hens has a splendid business that looks after itself, a magnificent iucamew and money enough to live on the bare interest, as well as a family need to live, if he never enters his office again while he has breath." "But money isn't everything, Mrs. Stephens," proceeded the pthysician with calmness. How about health, madam ?" Health ?" repeated the lady, with a smile she intended to be aaLreastic to the last degree. Health? Dr. Ellis Why, there is not a healthier or sounder man than my husband in the United States. He eats more in one meal than I do in three months." "There is nothing the matter with your husband's stomach, Mrs. Stephens!" 11 Dr. Ellis shaded his face with his hand and waited further developments. Mrs. Bteph-enh mistook the alttempt for forced concealment of emotion, and immediately assuming a sitting posture, brushed her eyes, and looked, piercingly into er companion's face. Why do you aiceent the word 'stomach so strongly, Dr. Ellis I" she inquired in anxious tones. Mrs. Stephens was forgetting herself, and this the doctor hailed as an excellent omen. Only that I might make you understand I tha,t a man's digestion could be most unex- ceptionable, and yet be far from sound in other directions." Tlhen you mean to tell me that my hus- band. is siok?" "I do." Perhaps you will go still further, and eay dangerous?" If you desire it." "Oh, Dr. Ellis, how cold and unfeelin.g ycu are! I should tthink you ought to know by this time and just here Mrs. Stephens broke down entirely, and sobbed as if her heart would break. "Ought to know what, Mrs. SbephSds?" inquired the doctor, with nnoauHed for deliberation. You ought to- know-to know-that my— -my-hatband's health is of a good deal more consequence than my own. "Ah, indeed," interrupted the physician, with an elevation of the bushy eyebrows, immensely suggestive of a contrary opinion, as well as several very excellent reasons for said opinions. Dr. Ellis, will you be kind enough, to tell Die what is. the matter with my husband?" ALrs. Stephens, was now on her feet—tears all wiped away, ctfls flaistaiig wrtlo. rc8Onttui bpdrit, an-d only the little quiver of her lip to show how deep a wound the kind heart in her bosom had sustained. There eihe stood, reproachful, determined, womanly. "Mrs. Stephens," said he, "you have no cause to be alarmed. If I can only get your co-operation in this business, I feel certain I shall be able to make a sound man of your husband in a few months, at the longest; but as true as I sit 'before you I cannot, do this s»loti6. Why, have I not been informed of this before?" broke in 'Mrs. Stephens, imperiously. Who was there to inform you, ma4dam! Your husband does not know his condition, and I should really like to know when you have been sufficiently calm to hear all that was necessary for you to know." But, Dr. Ellis, I should think that you ought to understand that my own health and comfort are nothing compared to my husband's." Mrs. Stephens was weeping a/gain. There is no sacrifice that I would not make for him." Curious creatures!" muttered the doctor, "delightful bundles of contradictions. How the mischief should I know, Mrs. Stephens, how much you oared for your husband? I am sure you have spent the Last hour complaining about him. Is thatt the way women generally testify their reigsurd for their husbands?" Oh, don't, Dr. Ellis, please, don't," pleaded the terrified woman. I will never complain again-n,Dv,er-it you will only let me know what I can do for him. Do you know, doctor, I "had begun to think lately that something must be amiss with him; he was growing eo irritable. Poor dear! How wicked and thoughtless I have been." "This. then, is the trouble. I shall take it for granted, madam, that you know some- thing about physiology, and can follow me without difficulty." "Oh—yes, for mercy's sake, go on." Very well, I and the pericardium "The pericardium?" repea-ted MTS. Stephens. You know what that is, I suppose?" Evidently Mrs. Stephens's anatomical know- ledge was limited. She shook her bead im despair. Something about tihe heart, is it not?" pbe asked at length. Yes; the pericardium is the membranous sac that holds the heart. Well, sometimes the sa-It isao matter about particulars Mrs. Stephens," said Dr. Ellis, suddenly ooming to a standstill. It is enough, though, for me to say that we are both possibly anxious that this heart abould remain where it belongs. Mr. Stephens must be amused. He wants the opera, the lecture, the social circle, entertain- ing books, a happy home, music. You play and sing do you not, Mrs. Stephens?" Oh, yes, I used to," and Mrs. Stephens's tones were so pitiful now that the big Dr. Ellis reaPy and truly was obliged to wipe both his eyes- and his roee. Before he was

aware, the lachrymal dtict had got the upper hand. f Well, try it again; get a teacher and go to practising." But how am I going to manage my spasms?" sobbed the lady. Well, perhaps between us both—you us'ng your will power, and t-binkilig of ycur husband, going out with him, taking care of him, and I doing my best in my way-we may be able to subdue them; but you must remember this, madam—do not let Mr. Stephens havo the fahitcst suspicion that you think anything is the matter with him; and above all, do not treat him like an invalid. Jast amuse him, and all that, you know, just as you used to when you were first married." Another series of sobs from Mrs. Stephens. The doctor arose to go. His patient had entirely forgotten that he had left no prescription. 1 "About tea, doctor?" she asked as he prepared to leave. Do you think it very hurtful?" "As an occasional tonic I ha-ve no objection to tea, but as a beverage, madam, it is an invention of the Devil. Good morning." John Stephens sought hia home that evening with a heavy heart. His wife he thought a, confirmed invailid, or hypochondriac—it mattered little which, one was as bad as t,he other. His remon-strances were of no avail. He was doubtful even whether his wife loved him. He opened the door with his latch key. This had become habitual; seldom did the gentleman show himself to his beloved wife until after the dining bell toad summoned the family to the dir. ing-rrxxm. A strain of music m'et his ear and trans- fued,him to the threshold. Abt's beautiful song was rendered, and his wife was the musician. He was just-in time to hear— The eyes that cannot weep Are t:he saddest eyes of all. For a full year this charming voice had be,e-n as silent as the gTave. Company, perhaps, he muttered. Curiosity overcame him. He opened the parlour door and peeped in. There was Mrs. John Stephens beeomtagliy attired, all a-Ione, as enthusiastic Qver the fine rendition of a piece of music as he had ever seen her. What does this mean, Kate?" he asked, with outstretched arms. "That I have given up tea, and am going to try hard to be well. I guess my voice will ccrmo back, John." "I guess so," he replied, folding her tight to his heart. Three months after this the cure was &o radical that Dr. Ellis made a clean breast of the whole thing, and there is no word or set -of words thait can provoke so hearty a. laugh in the happy ibcme of the Stephens's as t-lids uliym ologte ally scientific one—— Pericardium.
