Doctors and Nurses.

WRITER in the Science Of HedlM says:
The relative Importance of doctors and
nurses is a coming question of vital inn
portance, one that must soon be tried be-
fore the bar of public opinion. Long
ago had strong conviction in my own
mind that doctors not only frequently,
but in majority of cases, get credit or
blame that really belongs to nurses, or
those who control the surroundings of
patients; that conviction grows stronger
as years pass and | see more of life and
death. Lately catch myself wondering
whether doctors do or do not see how much
more depends on constant, intelligent,
faithful care in the management of pa
tients than on the action OF any medicine
they can prescribe; but, judging from
appearances, | should say they really do
believe in the eminent efficiency of
medicine. However, my present inten-
lion Is not to discuss the curative power
OF drugs, but to talk about the value and
care of nursing; and strongly suspect
that most honest doctors would, if they
stood long enough behind the scenes. get
their eyes opened and their faith in their
prescriptions modified, perhaps increased,
possibly diminished One thing is
pretty sure, they would learn that

knew how irregularly his medicines are
administered, how often they are thrown
away, and how still more frequently they

matters are quite as likely TO go her way
as the doctors. All, the doctors NAV

deigning to admit one virtue in them and
accord them one credit, VIZ, that of be-
ing useful automatons to carry out their
wise behests and administer their medi-
cines; but it would be well fortheir own
regulations, not TO mention the public
good, if the NJ. DIS were TO acknowledge

Justice In Turkey.
The constantinople correspondent Of

The Constantinople correspondent Of
the Providence Journdi says:
The legal science does not flourish in
Turkey. Some of your readers will per
haps want 30 remove there when they are
informed that there is no such thing
Known as writ Of execution upon attach
meat Tor contempt, or subpoena 10 con

cations look ont for their respective coun-
trymen, but the Turks must look out for
themselves. There are several local courts
for the decision Of controversies arising
between Turkish subjects, but the Judges
are men who might as well be toll gather

changed with every change il The Minis

court the most bucksheesl' gets the most
OF the kind of justice he wants, There is
one court which will receive in evidence
only written documents, another which
will recognize nothing in writing, but de
cidcs only on parol testimony. According
ly the strongest party moves his case into
the court which will best suit his purpose
DIR. Washburn told me that some five
years ago proceedings were commenced
against Roberts College by an adjoin-
ing landed proprietor, who claimed that
his Iand was encroached upon. The
title 10 the college territory IS registered
in the name of Turkish subject and con
sequently the local court had no iurisdic-
ton. All the Judges appeared on the
premises, and squatting down upon the
ground proceeded, with the aid of pipes
and coffee, to hear the case. The defense
partook more of the treatment adopted
by the medical than by the legal profess
sion ltwas 70 apply counter irritant.
A friendly Turk appeared as soon as the
plaintiff stated his claim against the col
lego, and set up. for himself claim to
the land in dispute. This proceeding
forthwith made him party 10 the cause,
and thereupen the college claimed that
this new controversy ought to he settled
before its property should be put in jeop-
ardy The court saw the wisdom Of this
reasoning and the two Turks have since
that time been fairly at work with a pros
peCt of arriving mt u conclusion some time
during the next Hegira.
The criminal law does not regard of
lenses as committed against the State, but
against the individual injured or his family.
The system of punishment is that which
belongs 10 the Eer tdii0Bis, and in case of a
murder, even, the eXecutioner, before talk
ing the life of the criminal, is obliged to call
aloud three times upon the next OF kin to
say if they will condone the crime for
money If they assent, the life of the
criminal is spared"

dreadful fate of his comrades, is in no
physical respect the worse for his perilous

model of a tiying-machine which really

me. 1t looked not unlike dragon-fiy on
an exaggerated scale. The motive power
appeared TO be a thick cord formed of
loose, separate tilaments of india rubber,
which cord is to be wound up or relaxed
at pleasure by means of key, and which
thus moves the wings of the machine. The
