A "I‘rx(;tfi Moment. called to see the Crown Prince Fred- erick in 1887 before Sir Morrell Mac- kenzie had reached San Remo. The prince, evidently suspecting the worst, turned to Schroetter after the examina- tion and said, “I request the truth as to my ailment.” Schroetter hesitated and made an effort to direct the con- versation in another direction, but Frederick insisted. “1 am a soldier,” he sald, “and can look death in. the eye. I ask you now plainly, to the point, Is my complaint cancer?” Schroetter could hardly contain himself, and years after the scene when he re- called it he spoke of it as the most painful in his life. He conducted the crown prince to a chair and asked him to be seated. Then he said, “Your im- perial highness, you are suffering from a serious complaint, and it is possible that it may develop into carcinoma, but that cannot be determined posi- tively at this moment.” Frederick be- came deathly pale, but never for a moment lost his self control and smiled grimly when he thanked the physician for his honesty. Coming to an Understanding. In the amiable way of villagers they were discussing the matrimonial af- fairs of a couple who, though recently wed, had begun to find the yoke of Hymen a burden. “’Tis all along o' these hasty mar- rlages,” opined one caustic old gentle- man, who had been much to the fore| In the discussion. “They did not un- derstand each other. They’d nobbut knowed each other for a matter o’ sev- en year.” “Well, that seems long enough,” sald an interested lady listener. “Long eno’! Bah! Yere wrong! ‘When a body’s coortin’ he canna be too careful. Why, my coortship lasted a matter o’ nineteen year!” “You certainly were careful,” agreed the lady listener. “And did you find your plan successful when you mar- ried?” “Ye jump to conclusions,” said the old man impatiently. “I understood her then, so I didna marry her!”—St. James’ Gazette. Poor Comfort, Apropos of the pretensions of those who might be counted as In soclety, Mrs. Bloomfield Moore in her book on “Sensible Etiquette” tells the follow- Ing story: A snobbish young man and his sister after their return home from an even- ing party were criticising the company, quite unaware that their sensible old uncle was lying awake In his chamber and could hear every word from where they stood in the corridor. “Why, even the Grinders were there, and you know their father was a gro- cer. I was never in such a mixed com- pany,” said the sister. “And we will never be again if I can help it,” answered the brother. The uncle called out: “Children, what do you think your grandfather was? He was a bootmaker, and some people say not a very honest one either. Now go to bed.” Cramp Rings. Formerly it was customary for kings of England on Good Friday to hallow certain rings, the wearing of which prevented cramp or epllepsy. They were made from the metal of decayed coffins and consecrated with an elab- orate ceremony, some detalls of which are still preserved. They were “highly recommended by the medical profes- slon” about 1557, for Andrew Boorde in his “Breviary of Health,” speaking of cramp says, “The kynge's majes- ite hath a great helpe In this matter in hallowing crampe ringes with- out money or petitlon.” Occasionally cramp rings played a persuasive part in diplomacy. Lord Berners, our am- bassador at the court of Charles V., wrote in 1508 “to my lorde cardinall’s grace” for some “crampe ryngs,” with trust to “bestowe them well, by God’s @race.”—Westminster Gazette. David B. Hill pleads that his health will not permit him to campaign for Bryan. If Mr. Hill is still a Democrat, he should know that the time for a Democrat to be sick is the day after the election.
