Monthly Pains enred by Or. Miles Pain PUIa,
.Th Dgurkos sad Bloat Critical Datya Ia the
Ufa of tbe Poet, ';!'
v As it is always darkest before the
dawn, the year which was the most
critical in Burns' life and which was
destined to give birth to his better
.fortune opened writh peculiar and
unmitigated dreariness. The Kil
marnook edition of 1786 appeared
while the poet was '-skulking from
covert to oovert" to avoid the jail
with -whioh Jean- Armour's father
threatened him; its raison j d'etre
was the earning of sufficient money
to pay his passage to Jamaica. Hav
ing "pocketed, all expenses deduct
ed, nearly 20," Burns took fa final
farewell of his friends, He says:
V My chest -was on my way to
Greenock when' a letter from Dr.
Blacklook (of Edinburgh) to ai friend
of. mine overthrew all my sohemes
by opening up new prospectsf to my
poetio ambition."
His fame was,, in fact, spreading
rapidly i Farm laborers and servant
girls expended their hardly earned
wages on the purchase of hisjwems,
and the name of the "Ayrshire
Plowmanj began to be noised among
"members of wealthier and more cul
tivated circles. The first person to
extend to him the right hand of fel
lowship was Dugald ' Stewart ; the
second -was Mrs. Dunlop. f Their
friendship oamo with all the charm
of a novelty whioh is yet not Estrange,
, but supplies a long felt though in
definable need, while, in the latter
case, Burns' proud and independent
, spirit was gratified by thet knowl
edge that the obligation was not all
on bis side, but that Mrs.Dunlop
and her friends-had reasorftp he in
debted to his" poet's spells. J
After two winters spont in Edin
burgh, which seem to have given
the poet more disappointment -and
aisgust than gratification, Burns
married "his Jean" and settled at
Ellisland, an upland farm on the
Dalswinton estate, six miles from
Dumfries. To this Ellisland period
that is, from 1788 to! 1791-i-most of
the unpublished letters to Mrs. Dun
lop belong. They are chiefly inter
esting as indicating Burns' real
views on his excise post and his dis
taste to farming. There Wfere ? bad
times in the eighteenth as in the
nineteenth century? and in a letter
of Maroh 25, 1789, we hear Burns
raising the farmers' customary com
plaint: : 1 " " , ' j
S, "Madam, I had two plans of life
before mo the excise and farming. .
I thought by the glimmering of my
Own prudence the excise psvas my
most eligible scheme, but all my
great friends, and particularly you,
were decidedly, and therefore decid
ed me, for farming. My; master,
Mr. Miller, put of a real though
mistaken benevolence, sought me
industriously out to set me in this
farm, aahe said, to give me a lease
which would make me comfortable
and easy. I was a stranger to the
r country, the farm, the soil, and so;
ventured on a bargain that, instead
of being comfortable, is arid will bef
a very hard bargain, if at all prac
ticable. I am sorry to tell you this,
madam, but it is a damning truth."

Laughter Prolongs the Performance. I
"Why is the performance; so long;
tonight?" asked a lounger in the;
lobby, as . he glanced at his watch
and saw that the time was 11 o'clock.
"Have you put in Anything-new?"
-"No, but it's a warm house to-:
night." ; i . i
"What difference does that make?'
I haven't noticed many 'extra en
cores to night. " " ;. . t
"But there's more laughing to-'
night. The house laughs oftener
.than, usual and keeps it up longer?'
"Would that .make much differ
ence in the length of the perform-'
anoe?" . . '1 ' ' ,j
T" "Anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes.
An ordinary laugh at some joke on
the stage- lasts 2 or 3 seconds.
When the houset laughs for 6 sec
onds, it is a good, long laugh, and
10 seconds is alinost th6 limit. I
don't mean the applause to call some
one baok, but the laugh; sprinkled
thorugh the dialogue. A good na
tured and cordial audienoe will
laugh ' 6 seconds at every 'gag.'
Ten 'gags' will prolong the show a
minute, and when you figure that
three acts are well filled with funny
lines, you will understand .why the
show sometimes lasts until 11 o'clock
and on chilly evenings is over at
10:40 or 10 :45." Chicago Record. I
SIGHTING ATLANTIC LINERS.
. ' ; 1 i
How the Big; Steamers Are DiBtlngrnighed
"by the Fire Island Outlooks. ' : ' j
Six hours before- an Atlantic liner is
made fast to her moorings the news that
she bas passed Fire island is announced in
New York. Fire Island, the first land
sighted, by most ocean liners, lies about
40 miles from Castle Garden.! x
' The observatory ia 40 feet high and
stands nearly 200 feet from the beach. On
a small table In the top room is a telegraph
wire oonnectod directly with the Western
Union office in New York city.
.The superintendent identifies the steam
ers by their outlines and by other details
that his experience suggests, i The number
of timos that he has been able to read their
names may bo counted on one hand, and
so exclusively bas -his acquaintance of
snips been made at long range that be has
expressed doubts whether he would be able
to recognize thorn at close quarters. i
At night all steamers send np a signal
when opposite Fire island.; The Inman
signal is a red and two blue lights, fol
lowed by a rocket showing blue and red
stars. I The Cunarders bunk two roman
candles, throwing six blue balls. These
signals merely indicate the line to whioh
the vessels belong. To distinguish' the
particular steamer, therefore, the side and
stern lights need to be carefully observed.
By daytime oolorod flags are "used, but
as oolors cannot be detected beyond a few
miles they are not of muoh value. The
superintendent, therefore, depends almost
entirely on the outline of the: vessel, the
position of the funnel, cabins, lifeboats,
smoke, eto., and also upon jthe course of
the vessel. .' - ' . .. '
Stationed at one porthole bl the look
out room there lean observer who watches
for steamers of the White Star line, from
another the . Cunard, and so on. The
steamers of one line burn a: soft kind of
coal, and the smoke Is so peculiar that
their approaoh is known at the Island long
before their hulks appear upon the horizon,

- It Is a trnism to state that what women
have accomplished In fields hitherto occu
pied only by the other sex they have fought
hard and long-for, and success has- been
secured only by dint of great perseverance
and determination. . .
' That those who oome after them -will

The clearing away of the underbrush of
publlo opinion has followed close upon the
felling of the first mighty sentinels of the.
forest that-guarded the way to the regions
ofi knowledge and "avenues of opportu
nity, " and such obstacles as remain cannot
hinder progress. They amount only: to
wholesome opposition, making effort more
valuable. - ; !'' . :
-At the present time we are witnessing;
the admission of women to the bar and
the opening of the law classes to the gen
eral woman fpr general information
This, it must be acknowledged, is, a most
liberal acquiescence, and the grace of its
accomplishment is by no means Its leaf t
interesting side. It has been altogether ai
ohivalrio performance this admission of
women to the study -of law. in the uni-
Tersityof our own city as well as else
where. It has presented a marked contrast
to their slow' scaling- of the ramparts of
the medical laboratory. Yet the pursuit
of legal knowledge seems less characteris
tic of the womanly temperament than the
study of medicine, the one being: an: ac
quisition of dry theories and dusty facts,
the othor a development of her natural
capacity, and her retention within her
special realm of ministration- and service
to the suffering. T
The, history of somo of those pioneer
women physicians is replete with valiant
struggles against repeated dofeat and dis
couragements. That of Dr. Mary E. Green,
now of Charlotte. Mich., but formerly of
this city, exemplifies this statement. She
Is a woman whom New4 Yorkers may well
be proud to claim as a fellow citizen.
. ( In the face "of opposition, persecution
and ridicule in the early sixties she won
her victory in 1868 by graduating with dis
tinction from the Woman's Medical col
lege of Philadelphia. - Discouragement as
sailed her on nil Rides during her course of
Study. When she wished to bocorfw a
member of the New York Medical society,
that body fairly shouted with indignation
at the thought of admitting a woman to
their sacred conclaves. Again her deter
mination won, and though it took many
and stormy discussions, to win consent
she was finally honored by membership,
being the first woman in America to be
admitted to the society. So great an honor
was it considered -that the press of both
America' and Europe commented upon it
at the tinio. This extraordinary conces
sion provod merely a forerunner of many
others yet to come, as through her long
career of arduous effort she has repeatedly
received unusual honors from various as
sociations and institutions with which she
has been associated.
( After graduation in Philadelphia she
came to Now York, where she made rapid
headway in her profession. She received
the appointment to be visiting physician
at several charitable hospitals. Here, too,,'
Within a short timo sho became the wife
of a prominent lawyer. ' 4 ;
j From the beginning of her practice Dr.
Green has been deeply interested in dietet
ics, especially in diet kitchen work and
the introduction of a knowledge of whole
some food among the poorer classes.
I Through her personal efforts .the Westerns
Dispensary For Women and Children was
established. - She socurcd the financial aid
of sofiie of our most woalthy and influen
tial men, and from this starting hasde
veloped many diet kitchens, j cooking
schools and the like. - L
i Few women, if any other, have done as
much as Dr. Green to further the study
iand growth of knowledge of j dietetics
among all classes and especially the poor.
Though having many calls upon her to
lecturo in various ,and widely separated
places, besides the demands of a large
general practice, she is doing today a no
ble work among the poor of Michigan in
this matter of bettor diet and mare whole

' Hints to Stout Women.
It has been discovered that a double
chin can be banished by correct breathing.
The woman with n short neck must holdJ
her head high, even stretching lior neck
until conscious of the tension of the' cords.
She should also practice dropping; her head
and letting it roll listlessly about. This
will givo a graceful polso to the head, and
the exercise of jmi'sclos will help consume
the extra amount of fat. . Lung exercises
in breathing are the best cure for excessive
stoutness. The best time for this la be
fore dressing in tho morning and after
undrossing at night. Five or ten min
utes' exercise every day will reduce the
flesh in a wonderfully short time. ,. Stand,
erect, with the head and chin well up,
and rise upon the toes at each inspiration,
holding the breath a moment, then expel
ling it forcibly and completely, coming
down upon the heels at the same time.
Another good breathing exoroiso is to' draw
in a full, deep breath. Retain the breath
while counting 15, and then slowly expel
it. Sometimes stout women 1 move the
arms gracefully, but the body has an utter
lack of liberty and free motion or 6upplo-
ness. : Drawing her corsets tighter never
did make a 6tout woman less stout in ap
pearance. Tho first care is not, to laoo too
tightly, tho second is to banish all idoas of
being stout from your mind, and let the
muscles have as freo play as, possible, j All
women can learn to uso their bodies grace
fully, even if there is a predisposition to
stoutness. Stout women are acknowledged
to be the lightest dancers, and there is no
- reason Why they Bhould not hoi graceful in
pose and motion. If a woman draws her

-Three .tbings, writes a naval oon. .
tribntor, there lare -whioh do more
than anything else to lighten the
burden of existence; snob . as it is .
borne by Jack Tar says the West-"
minster Gazette, j These, three are
grog, the hornpipe and a pet animal, '
and the pet animal l is the greatest
solace of the three. There is scarce
ly a vessel afloat, from one of our "
line of battleships down to a canal- ,
boat, that bas not a two or four foot- i
ed pet on board. Sailors proverbially
make pets of almost any animal '
they are sliipmates with elephants,
bears, . Bheop, goats,? monkeys, ga
, zelles and raocoons among the mam
malia, bantam cooks, parrots, cock
atoos, magpies and sea gulls among
bipeds, and even inhabitants of the
ocean, suoh as seals and turtle, have
been laid under contribution to pro
vide amusement for our bluejackets !
Ssi An elephant seems, "a large or
der!' as' a sailor's pet aboard ship,
but who of the senior naval'offioers
does not remember the vessel called
by the nickname of H. M. S. Me
nagerie, and the elephant on board
of that .paddle wheel frigate when
they., -were on the Indian j station.
The elephant was regularly stationed
and harnessed to the jib halyards,
and when the order , was given to .
"Make all plain sail,f - he made a tri

Admiral Sir O. W- - told me
that when ho commanded an Indian
troopship a full grown tiger was em
barked for passage to England as a
present from some Indian prince to.
tho queen." It was a magnifloent
animal, and for J m any years after-1
ward was exhibited at tho zoological
gardens. . One morning, about 5:80,
the captain was awakened by a mes
senger, who said, "Please sir, the
tiger bas broken loosel" His reply
was, "Lock my cabin door, and call
me whenjbo's inj his cage again." It
appears that in cleaning the cage,
the men being then; washing decks,
the door of the1 cage had been un
fastened and the beast had escaped,
causing a regular stampede, the
bluejackets forward running up the
rigging and the soldiers taking to
the hammock nettings and the hurri
cane deck. The tiger ran aft; the
men had not heard of its escape and
wero throwing; buckets of water
about. (The scene appeared to puzzle
the tiger." At any rate, an old quarter
master ' realized the situation, and
taking lip's lantern flashed it fnlljih
tho face 6f the (tiger. He then took
the animal by the scruff of the neck,
ran it forward to its cage and, slam-'
med and fastened the door in a jiffy.
1 Here is another anecdote of a real
pet, this tinad in! the same ship.
There are several officers now alive
who can vouch for the truth of this
story. The first lieutenant had a
very jolly little monkey, quite a
general favorite. One evening, just
before dinner, on a guest night, the
ship being in harbor, the first lieu
tenant went into his cabin with the
monkey, and, opening a box of,very
choice Havana cigars rather hastily,
by accident smashed two of them
the parts of whioh he threw over
board out of Jhis cabin port. Then,
filling his cigar case, as dinner was
already on the table, he left the box
on the table and hurried to mess. '
It had beeni the custom for his
monkey to follow him and wait by
the table for a morsel of food now
and again. This evening, after some
little time had elapsed, and the
monkey, did not appear, his owner,
excusing himself for a minute, ran
back to his oabin to see what his pet
was doing, knowing besides, having
a strong imitative trait of character,
it was generally up to some mischief
or other. Alasl, he was too latei The
monkey had only too well imitated
his master, for as the first lieutenant
entered the cabin, he was just in
time to seejihe last of his cherished
weeds taken out of the box and
thrown out of the port overboard. '

Bitter Jerrold. '. . .
Among the sayings attributed to
Douglas Jerrold is a very fitter one
he applied to Mark Lemon, then edi
tor of Punoh. j Lemon was deeply at
tached to Dickens and showed it in
a very open fashion, which perhaps
aroused the great satirist's jealousy.
At all events, as Jerrold was walk
ing out one day with Lemon and an
other friend, and Dickens with sev
eral more behind them, Lemon sud
denly dropped away and turned
baok. "What has beoome of .Punch?"
asked Jerrold 's companion. , "Did
you not hear Dickens whistle?" was
the oynical reply, j "Dickens pays the
dog tax for Lemon." ; .

A. Clever Banker. ,
An amusing anecdote is told of the late
Jonathan Backhouse, banker. - On being
pressed by a bumptious bagman, who did
not know him, to bet as to the amount of
money' that they could respectively pro
duce Mr. Backhouse, after a great deal of
banter, said he did not bet, but, to show
his indifference to money, offered to put a
5 note in the fire if the commercial would
do the same. : 1 : .
Thereupon Mr. Backhouse took out a
5 note and put it into the fire. The
commercial, not wishing to be behind, did
the same. Mr. Backhouse offered to re
peat the process, but the commercial, con
siderably cowed, ' declined. Then Mr
Backhouse quietly thanked him for hav--lng
burned one of bis (Mr. Backhouse's)
bank notes for which he had received 5,
while the notehe (Mr. Backhouse) had
burned was on his own bank and had only
cost him the paper.--Strand Magazine.
