For ears he struggled along1 with limited means, triving with all his powers and at times despair ng of success, but at last established a living, uying business, and made the name "Dr. Ward's" household word in thousands of homes. Dur ngall these long years of toiling and waiting, •lr. Watkins little thought that men could be ound so lost to every principle of right and ustice as to undertake to despoil him of hisbus ness, and themselves to attempt to harvest the ruitsof his life-long labors. However, in this natter, he learned that he was mistaken. In arious parts of the country, sprang up bogus itcents offering medicines said to be Dr. Ward's or •just as good as Dr. Ward's," frequently leading aistomers into thinking they had the genuine vrticle. Therefore, in order to protect his busi ICSS and the public from being imposed upon, Mr. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the .vorid-wuie right to use his name as a trade nark for a full line of medicines, and caused the -ame to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office So. 23585.

HIS ATTEMPT TO DESCRIBE A RAM FIGHT IN RING VERNACULAR. The Bride Ventured a Suggestion Which Caught On—The Preacher Didn't Fnll^ Succeed I Appearing: Unsophisticated The Little Ram's Ring Tactics. A preacher told this story at a wed ding snpper on the South Side the othei evening: I was riding along a country roac near Bloomington," he said, "when] noticed a group of sheep in a pasture. There was a large open space in the midst«of the flock, and at either end ol the space stood a_ ram. In the center, but standing a little at one side, was third ram. The two rams had evident!} had a falling out about something, oi £lse they had come to settle in a friend ly contest which was the better ram. Bam No. 3 seemed to be acting as— judge, umpire—what do you call it! Referee? Yes, that's it, the third ran: was the referee. I don't know undei what rules the meeting took place. Ii may have been Queensberry or Rosebery. You see I am not up to these technical matters. When all the preliminaries had beer arranged and both contestants had beer cautioned apparently that there was tt be no 'fouling'—I think I hxvtr seer that word in the newspapers occasional ly, and therefore I suppose it is a cor rect word to use in this connection each backed off to the farthest limits oi the circle, which, by the way, was not a squared circle. The referee stepper out of the way, and the rams dashed to ward each other. When their head came together, there was a terrific crash, and the force of the concussion threw them as far apart as the length of thi table." All the guests looked the full lengtl of the table from the passion flowers ai one end to the brido's cake in the fai perspective, and then at the preacher ii: the middle distance, but nobody iu anything. "Then," continued the preacher, "they took their places, apparently none the worse for the encounter. Again, evi dently at a preconcerted signal from tin referee, they clashed together. This time the shock was even more terrific thar the first, and I noticed that as one ol them went back to his—ah, what dc they call it, corner?—he was a little un steady on his legs.'' "Groggy!" ventured the bride. I believe that is the technical term,'' replied the preacher, "although, as 1 have iatimated, I am not at all familial with sporting phraseology. When time was called for the third round—ahem— that is, I mean to say when the ramf had recovered strength for a third col lision— there was another rush, a crash, and one of the rams, the one you so aptly described as 'groggy' (with an acknowledgment to the bride) fell tc his knees. His adversary did not seen} inclined to follow up his advantage, bul possibly he may have been restrained by the rules of the meeting. At any rate, after contemplating his fallen foe grave ly for a moment he walked back to his place. The other ram, after resting briefly, struggled to his feet. The third ram—the one I have called the referee —looked at him rather inquiringly, as it seemed to me, but the warrior show ed no sign of recognition. He ambled to his side of the ring and faced about. A murmur of some sort seemed to go through the flock. The odds were ap parently 3 to 1 in favor of the other ram—that is to say, it seemed to be the general opinion that the ram with the weak knees had been outclassed, as the other one was decidedly the heavier of the two. "However, the smaller ram seemed to have wonderful recuperative powers. When the proper interval had elapsed, he came up smiling, as it were. I even thought I could see a twinkle in his eye, for I was quite close to the fence, and this thing took place only a little dis tance away. As the referee stepped back from the center of the ring, where he kept his position between the meetings, the other two rams drove at each other pellmell. At the very instant when their hard horns would have met, how ever, the smaller ram suddenly changed his course to the right, and the other went through the ranks like a catapult. "Just as he turned about, evidently boiling ever with indignation at the trick which had been played on him, the other one, with the added force given by a longer run from one side of the cir cle to a point several feet outside of it, where the larger ram's momentum had carried him, shot at him like a cannon ball, striking him full in the face and driving him several feet away, where he lay limp and helpless. The third ram, who was promptly on the spot, as I suppose every competent referee should be, nodded his head several times—in deed it looked to me as if he was count ing—and then the fallen ram failing to rise the whole flock marched away to ward a knoll in another part of the meadow with the victorious ram at the head. Presently the defeated ram got on his feet and made his way to a se cluded spot down by a little run, where I saw him reclining in the shade of a large willow tree as I rode away." "What an interesting study natural history is," said the bride's grandmoth er as she adjusted her glasses. "It is indeed," said the groom's fa ther, coughing behind his napkin.—Chi •ago Tribune. A Irish Student's Reply. An Irish student, who some years ago attended the university of Edinburgh, called upon one of the most celebrated teachers of the German flute, desiring to know on what terms he would give him a few lessons. The flute player in formed him that he generally .charged 3 guineas for the first month and 1 guinea for the second. "Then, by my soul," replied the cunning Hibernian, "I'll come in the second month." The Wonders Tha May Seen Therein Through a Microscope. To the ordinary^mortal a drop of wa ter is what the primrose was to Peter Bell, a drop of water and nothing more, but to the student of nature, armed with a high power microscope, it imme diately becomes a world teeming with living creatures, the most minute repre sentatives of animal life. These thoughts were suggested by reading Professor Grace's description of a battle he once witnessed while examining a collection Of rotifers, which were amassed in a single drop of fresh water. Among oth ers, Mr. Grace noticed a fine specimen of infusorian, which was swimming back and forth among the rotifers, as if intent on mischief. On the following day it was noticed that the rotifer col ony had lost several of its members, and that the infusorian's form had rounded out until he resembled a miniature St. Louis bartender. Mr. Grace now re solved to watch thj mfusorian's move ments and ascertain if possible the modus operandi whereby the capture of such expert swimmers as the rotifers are known to be was effected. A few minutes' wait sufficed. Soon it was noticed that the infusorian was slowly and continuously working his way around the foot of a rotifer, which was resting on the glass slide. Around and around he went as slyly as a mouse in an oats bin, and when he had finished it was noticed that the rotifer's foot was firmly cemented to the glass. The infusorian, seeming to know his victim was secure, began to goad the tethered creature and torment it in all the ways that devilish ingenuity could suggest. He would jump upon its back and bite it in several places with lightninglike rapidity and then spring off and seize a leg and pull it almost, from its socket. Mr. Grace says that he watched this unequal combat for nearly a half hour, when it was noticed that the rotifer was dying from exhaustion. Noting the death of his victim, the in fusorian proceeded to devour his prey, as he doubtless had done the others that were missing. Mr. Grace next examined a small body of water, consisting of four drops, in which there were several infusoria and rotifers. The former proved the enemies of the latter, just as in the sin gle drop previously examined. It was also noticed that the infusorian, having devoured a victim, would almost imme diately divide into two or four new ani mals, each of which would quickly swim away in search of prey, just as its parent had done before.—St. Louis Re public. BISMARCK'S BIG HEAD. Measurements Showing That the Space For Brains I I Is Extraordinary. Bismarck's head, says a correspond ent of L'Anthropologie, has been care fully measured according to the rules of anthropometrics by the sculptor Schaph of Berlin, who made the statue of Bis marck set up at Cologne. The measure ments prove that Bismarck has a head of extraordinarily large size. Measured horizontally from the frontal bone to the occiput the head is 212 millimeters, or more than 8.35}^ inches. The dis tance from temple to temple is 170 mil limeters, or a trifle over 6.69 inches. Bismarck's cranium has a capacity of 1,965 cubic centimeters, and his brain should weigh 1,867 grams. These figures become especially sig nificant when compared with the meas urements of other heads. Of 2,500 heads measured at Baden Baden only one ex ceeded 200 millimeters horizontally from front to back, and that one meas ured 206 millimeters, or six millimeters less than Bismarck's. The mean meas urements of 30 members of the Natural Science society at Carlsruhe were 195 millimeters from front to back by 155 millimeters from temple to temple. The biggest of these heads measured 205 by 162 millimeters. The cubic measure ment of 245 German heads was nearly 500 cubic centimeters under Bismarck's, while the estimated weight of Bis marck's brain is 35 per cent above that of the average adult European brain. In fact, Bismarck is a man not only of blood and iron, but as well of brains. He Kne Her Perfectly. The outspoken ways and caustic say ings of Dr. Jephson of Leamington, cel ebrated in the forties and fifties, have furnished the kernel of many anecdotes. One day he was called on by one whom Brantome would havj called "une grande dame de par la monde," the Marchioness of Having listened to a description of her malady, the ora cle pronounced judgment: "An egg and a cup of tea for break fast, then walk for two hours a slice of cold beef and half a glass of madeira for luncheon, then walk Ugain for two hours fish, except salmon, and a cutlet or wing of fowl for dinner, with a sin gle glass of madeira or claret to bed at 10 and rise at G, etc. No carriage exer cise, please." "But, doctor," she exclaimed at last, thinking he was mistaken in his visitor, "pray, do you know who I am? Do you know—ahem!—my position?'' "Perfectly, madame," was the reply. I am prescribing for an old woman with a deranged stomach."—Nineteenth Century. The Poitou Jack. From the day he is born to the day of his death no brush or comb is ever al lowed to be used on him, and as, from the unnatural condition in which he is kept, he is prevented in a great measure from shedding his coat the functions of the skin become suspended, and the ani mal gradually assumes year after year an accumulation of coats, all matted together with stable filth, till at length they almost trail on the ground When he has assumed this extraordinary and bearlike appearance, he is pointed to with no little pride by his owner and is termed bourailloux, or sometimes guen illoux. Such is ignorance and prejudice. —From "Horses,Asses, Zebras, Mules," by W. R. Tegetmeier. Work Easily Prosecuted in the Tumult of a Thunderstorm. ''Speaking of cinches," said there tired burglar, "the easiest, softest, smoothest snap I ever struck was in a house in a small town in Rhode Island There was a thunderstorm coming up as I went along toward this house, and just as I got there it began to sprinkle. By the time I'd got inside it was com ing down pretty hard, and I was glad to be under shelter, for I hadn't brought any umbrella with me. I hadn't had any supper either, and when I got into the dining room I thought I'd get some thing to eat. The sideboard was locked and the key carried up stairs, but a lit tle jimmy opened the door as easy as a knife would open a pie. I set out a lit tle snack on the table and sat down and ate it comfortably, with the rain pour ing down outside. If there's anything I like, it's to hear a storm a-raging outside when you're settled down all snug and comfortable within. "But here was something I hadn't counted on. The thunder was roaring and plunging like a dozen earthquakes busting down through the sky, and it kept the house in a tremble all the time. I knew nobody could sleep in that thun der. They'd be sure to be all awake, but here I was, and I hated to lose a night, and after I'd waited a little and the storm didn't show any signs of let ting up I thought I'd go ahead an see anyhow. The very first room I looked into up stairs settled the whole busi ness. "Over in one corner jjE this room, be yond a bed, I saw a woman standing in front of an open closet door. Two chil dren hopped out of the bed, and the mother pushed them into the closet, and then crowded in herself and pulled the door shut tight. It was all very simple. Husband away, no help two children sleeping in another room, woke up by thunder, come into their mother's room, all scared mother puts children in closet and gets in herself, as lots of folks do in thunderstorms. And then I walk over and turn the key in the lock, and there you are. No danger of their com ing out till the storm is over anyway, but just as well to be sure about it, and then I just quietly go through the house. It isn't big, and it doesn't take long, and I come back before the storm is over and unlock the closet door again and skip, and that's all there is to it."—New York Sun. THEY DEVELOPED YOUNG. Two Famous Poets, Oliver Wendell Holmes and William Cullen Bryant. Oliver Wendell Holmes received the degree of doctor of medicine in 1836, being then 27 years old, and in that year he also published his first volume of poems. Nothing of Dr. Holmes' has been more popular than "The Last Leaf," contained in .this early collec tion, and none has more richly deserved to please by its rhythmic beauty and by its exquisite blending of humor and pathos so sympathetically intertwined that we feel the lonely sadness of the old man even while we are smiling at the quaintness so feelingly portrayed. Dr. Holmes was like Bryant, who composed "Thanatopsis" and the "Lines to a Waterfowl" long before he was 20, in that he early attained full development as a poet. Although each of them wrote many verses in later life, nothing of theirs excelled these poems of their youth. In their maturity they did not lose power, but neither did they deepen nor broaden, and "Thanatopsis" on the one side and "The Last Leaf" on the other are as strong and characteris tic as anything either poet was ever to write throughout along life. What Bry ant was, what Holmes was, in this, his first volume of poems, each was to the end of his career. To neither of them was literature a livelihod. Bryant was first a lawyer and then a journalist. Holmes was first a practicing physician and then a teacher of medicine. He won three prizes for dissertations upon medical themes, and these essays were published together in 1838. In 1839 he was ap pointed professor of anatomy and phys iology at Dartmouth, and the next year he married Miss Amelia Lee Jackson. Shortly afterward he resigned the posi tion at Dartmouth and resumed practice in Boston. He worked hard in his pro fession and contributed freely to its lit erature, and in 1847 he went back to Harvard, having been appointed pro fessor of anatomy and physiology, a position which he was to hold with great distinction for 35 years.—St. Nicholas. Domestic Architecture I Chicago. The inhabitants of Chicago are the least curious and observing people in the world. According to their own news papers, they permitted one H. H. Holmes to construct in their city a house so ex traordinary, so full of hidden doors and secret passages and acid proof vats that it would have attracted thousands of curious visitors had it been built any where else. But the guileless Chicago ans suspect nothing. Neither the man who issued the building permit nor the men who did the building saw anything unusual about the house. What is the matter? Is all Chicago blind, or are acid proof vats and secret passages part and parcel of the ordinary Chicago dwelling? Perhaps there is an interest ing chapter to be written about domestic architecture in Chicago. Milwaukee Sentinel. Suiting the Action.
