I believe the oddest incident of my career occurred inâ€" But hold, on second thought I don’t care to give any names or dates. The facts, if you like, were these: I was called by messenger to :1 cheap boarding house one evening to at- tend a man who was said to hare been hurt in a fight. I found a young fellow of. 25 or thereabout half dazed, with a bloody contusion on one of his cheeks and a badly broken nose. The bridge was smashed almost flat with the face, and I saw, at once that the case would need very careful handling to prevent great disfigurement. Not to bother you with technical details, I confined myself that night to a superficial. dressing and deferred further proceedings until next day. “W'hen I called the following morning, the young man had quite recovered his senses, and, although his clothes were shabby and all his surroundings poor and mean. it was evident from his hands, talk and bearing that he had never done any hard work and was a person of edu- cation and refinement. I took him for the black sheep of some good family, but made no comments and explained briefly that I would try to restore his nose as far as possible by performing a slight op- eration and inserting an artificial sup- port. “To my astonishment he objected flat- ly and insisted on letting it heal exactly as it was. ‘But you will be frightfully disfigured,’ I protested. ‘I doubt if. your best friends would recognize you.’ Strange to say, that assurance seemed to render him only the firmer, and I was compelled to let him have his way. It was nearly three weeks before he was well, and, as I anticipated, he looked exactly like some battered bruiser of the prize ring. “I never saw the man again, but six months later I was shown the photo- graph of a handsome young chap' who was badly wanted for a big embezzle- ment. I put my finger over the nose and recognized my late patient. He had walked aboard ship right under the eyes of detectives and sailed for the Argentine Republic. They had his photograph, but never dreamed of connecting it with the caved in countenance of that particular passenger.” ‘iI geon. never a scm'tainetl. ” “Didâ€" he get somebody to break his nose on purpose?” asked the reporter. American Men Do Not Salute Each Other as Do Foreigners. “\Yulking up Fifteenth street recent- ly,” said a “'ushingtoniau who has trav- eled extensively. “I observed an official remove his hat to two gentlemen, who re- tumed the salutation in the same man- ner. They were members of the diplo- matic corps. “As we all know. the American style of salutntion when two or more gentle- men meet is an inclination of the head or a wave of the hand. The 'hat is doffed t0 the gentler sex only. On the conti- nent, it would be an insult for a gentle- man to pass an acquaintance without re- moving the hat. If they are friends the salutation is even more formal and in- cludes a shake of the hand and the ex- change of a few complimentary remarks. “The French are accounted the most punctilious and ceremonious of people. I think the Belgians are even more so. Their customs are French. however. They have a language of their own, but the names of the streets in Brussels are in both French and ‘Belge’ on the same signhonrd. “I spent a week in the Belgium capital. where a member of the American lega- tion piloted me about. I made the ac- quaintance of many Belgian gentlemen. and the salutation hetWeen my diplomat- ic friend and those he met was something like this: “‘Ah, count, I am delighted to greet you.’ “A cordial smile, :1 ceremonious lifting of the hat, a hearty shake of the 1mm] and an inclination of the body in a polite bow. “ ‘My friend, Mr. â€"â€" of VVashing- ton.’ Same formula on my part and that of the count. “ ‘My dear Colonel â€", the pleasure is wholly mine. I am rejoiced to see you. I trust you are Very well.’ Same for- mula. “After an interchange of mutually complimentary remarks the ceremonies attending the introduction were repeated as we respectively said ‘au revoir’ and re- placvd um- silk hats for the last time upon our heads. It was a novelty at first. but when I repeated it 18 times an hour “My friend explained to me that con- tinental gentlemen of high social posi- tion were not pressed by political and financial affairs as are Americans in sim- ilar walks of life, and the hurry and haste ve display are unknown to them.” -Washington, Star.

Lament-ms Is Best Disc-n. ed by Moving: in a. Circle. As it has been the rule in this coun- try, at horse shows and elsewhere, to try a horse for lameness by walkâ€" ing and trotting the animal in a straight line, to and fro, usually a. hard. pavement, and with a lead hal- ter or bridle only, the recently ex- pressed views of Prof. Zorn, direc- tor of the veterinary clinical school of Leipzig, are pertinent and instruc- tive. He strongly recommends that the horse should not be walked along a straight line, but chiefly in a cir- cle; then the higher and lower parts of the limbs outside and inside the circle are equally weighted. For ex- ample, if, during this ring exercise, the halting of the lOV-JUI‘ leg increases onnagcount of, the greater weight, the One question was, “Describe a thor- mometer and its notation.” It brought forth this answer: “A ther- mometer has two good pointsâ€"the boil- ing point and the freezing point.

(hoof, coronet or pastern); on the contrary, if the halting of the out- side legar increases, the seat of the ail- ment is in the higher region (shoulâ€" der, haunch); a greater amount of strength is required to remove the limb, and one can understand that the extension and supporting of the foot is more difficult. After having examined the horse in motion, you must explore the limb with the hand in order to assure yourself, if you do not perceive any sign of heat, whe- ther or not there are traces of wounds or contusion, invisible swell- ing, whether or not the pressure of the fingers causr‘s abnormal pain. Inflammation of the lymphatic ves- sels in the vicinity of the extremi- ties under the hock, ringr bones, etc., may also cause halting. Under the influence of persistent halting it may happen that certain muscles, particu- larly thOSe behind the hock, will de- crease in volume, because atrophied. This atrophy of the muscles is caus- ed not merelyâ€"as many believeâ€"by complete paralysis of the shoulder and hock, but particularly, and in most cases, it is due to anklylosis of these joints. In this exploration of the halting limb with the hand an excellent sign is given by the pulsa- tion of the artery situated on the in- terior of the canon in the hind limb. If the pulse is feeble and little perâ€" ceptible, the cause of lameness is in the top part of the limb: if strong 'and slightly perceptible. the seat of the ailment, is in the lo-Wer part. and generally in the hoof. llm‘SeS with a haltinn‘ fnor place it, down reluct- antly; the pain they manifest is sometimes greater while resting on the toe. and sometimes while on the heel, according: as the suffering part is front or back of the hoof.
