The Herald of Health contains, in its March
number, page of pointed talk, all about
the young doctors, some fifteen hundred Of
whom are now graduated each year from
the medical colleges of this country. The
editor says if we are to judge of the quail
fications OF this army by the specimens who
daily attend clinics at Bellevue Hospital
then we may well despair of the profession.
Sorting out dozen of the best Of them"
continues the writer, whose language is GER
tainly equal in plainness to that of Truth
full James, "sorting out dozen of the best
Of them, and the remainder are dirty. ill
hammered, rowdyish set Of fellows, who will
never do any good and may do q vast deal
Of HARM" To the end that this evil may be
reformed altogether it is said that not every
one who applies should be allowed to enter,
but only such as by nature seem fitted for
the work. A test scale as stringent as that
at West Point, modified to suit the exigen-
cies of the case, would, it is thought, weed
out much of the chat of medical colleges;
and there is surely as great need Of good
wheat here as in the military service. ee

Out in Chester county, North Carolina, q
clock peddler was tramping along, hot,
dusty and tired, when he came to meeting
house wherein snndry Friends were engaged
in silent devotion. The peripatetic trades
man thought he would walk in aud rest.
He took q seat upon bench, dOffed his
hat and placed his clocks upon the floor.
There was . painful stiffness in the meeting
house, which was broken by one Of the
clocks, which commenced striking fnriously.
The peddler was in an agony, but he hoped
every minute the clock would stop. Instead
of that it struck just four hundred and
thirty times by the actual count Of every
Friend in the meeting, for the best dis
ciplined Of them could not help numbering
the strokes. Then up rose one of the
Friends, at the end of the tour hundred and
thirtieth stroke, and said: q Friend, as it is
20 very late, perhaps thee had better pro-
coed ON thy journey, or thee will not reach
thy destination unless thee is as energetic
as thy vehement timepiece."

St. Jerome mentions q widow who mar
ried her twenty-third husband, who, in his
turn, had been married to twenty wives.
A woman named Elizabeth Mast, who died
at Florence, in 1889, had been married to
seven husbands, all Of whom she outlived.
She espoused the last at the mature age of
sixty. When on her deathbed she recalled
the good and bad points in each of her hus-
bands. and, having impartially weighed
fifth spouse as her favorite. and desired that
her remains might be inferred near his. The
death Of soldier is recorded in 1884, who
had had five wives, and his widow, aged
ninety, wept over the grave Of her fourth
husband. The writer who mentioned these
facts naively added: "The said soldier was
much attached to the marriage state"

An exchange says: 'Let it not be- for
gotten that to the Democratic party belongs
that class OF peOple~iR the South who still
hold that the wealthy alone should rule;
that labor is degrading: that public edu-
cation should not be furnished to the poor,
and that labcring man, be he white or
black, is only working machine. These
fight at every step the changed condition Of
things brought about by the late war, and

shall place again at the head the men who
initiated the rebellion and DESTROYED the
prosperity of the South in 1861. The rule

it means anarchy and reaction now" Who

The Supreme Court of fennsylvania has
recently made decision which should put
every man ON his guard as to the manner IN
which he fills mp printed note OF Gnec !.
The facts of the case were substantieIy =
follows: A owed b one hundred dollars,
for which he gave his note, payable IN -
ninety days. 4 printed form was used,
filline mn the blanks with the proper ngures
and dates, and A signing the note with y y
when it had been put in proper shape. p
subsequently,, without the knowIedge OF
consent Of x, wrote the words land MY, !"
after the words tone hundred" in the body
Of the note, and sold It to G. When the
note became due A refused to paw, ana
Mead that the insertion Of the words 'ana
1ifty" in the note was q forgery, fact tnat
was abundantly proven. Suit was orougns
by C against A, the maker OF the note. ana
although the forgery by b was admitted,
C recovered Judgment againt A for one
hundred dollars. An appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court, and there the Judgment
was affirmed. The court, however, said
that the Judgment ought to have been Tor
one hundred and fifty dollars, but ma smuch
"a the plaintiff below took no exception to
the Judgment as rendered, it could mot be
disturbed. At first sight the decision ap-
pears to be unjust, but the reasoning OF the
court appears to be conclusive AZ to the
necessity Of the rule laid down in order to
facilitate commercial transactions.

It struck two; Monsieur de Menneval
was announced. His majesty remained
snug, and slammed dead.
Monsieur de Menneval was at all points
cavalier who yielded nothing to his rival,
Monsieur de Beaugency. He was fair. He
had blue eye, q broad forehead, mouth
that wore a dreamy expression, and that
somewhat pensive air which became so well
the troubadOurs of France in the Olden time.
We can not say whether Monsieur de
Menneval had perpetratec verse, but he
loved the poets, the arts, the quiet of the
fields, the sunset, the rosy dawn, the
breezes signing through the foliage, the
low and mysterious tones of the harp
BOUNDING at eve from the bark shooting
things. in short. that harmonized with that
melOdi0us concert of the heart which passes
by the name of love.
He was timid, but he passionately loved
the beautiful widow; and his dearest dream
was of passing his whole life at her feet, in
well-chOsen retirement, far from those en-
vious loOkers-On whOlare ever ready to fling
their sarcasms on quiet happiness, and who
dissemble their envy under a cloak of
philosophic skepticism.
He trembled as he entered the mar
chioness' boudoir. He remained standing
before her, and blushed as he kissed her
hand. At length. encouraged by a smile,
embcldened by the solemnity of this COW
eted interview, he spoke to her Of his love
with poetic sympathy and an unpremedi-
tated warmth Of heart-the genuine enthu-
siasin of priest who has faith in the object
Of his alteration. y.
And rs he spoke, the marchiOness sighed
and said within herself:
sHe is right. Love is happiness. Love
ia to be two indeed, but one at the. same
time: and il free from those impOrtunate in
