Asiatic Doctors.

The first care of the Sart physician is
to study your general appearance and
ask you about your temperament. He
has learned in the Tukhpatul Auminiu,
the most common medical book here,
that you must belong to one of four
classes, and his treatment of your mall
ady is governed accordingly. When he
has combined your symptoms with your
temperament, he will pull a bag out of
his pocket, or unite the scarf which
serves him for a girdle, and open an as
sortment of drugs in twisted bits of
paper, perhaps tasting and smelling to
find the right ones, and having chosen
the proper medicine, will give you the
usual directions about doses and diet.
The medicaments employed by Central
Asiatic physicians are, in general, very
simple, being in most part vegetable
substances, but few animal matters and
minerals being used. They are usually
taken simply in the form of powders
and decoctions, and when a mixed
medicine is used the physician delivers
the substances to the patient and al
lows him to mix them for himself. This
not only saves the physician trouble,
but, in a certain way, soothes the sus-
picious feelings of the patient, who
might imagine, in case he did not i'm
mediately improve, that he had been
poisoned by the doctor.

Misspent Evenings.

The young men who spends an hour
of each evening lounging at the billiard
saloons OF on the street corners, wastes
in the curse of a year three hundred
and sixty-five precious hours, which, if
applied to study, would familiarize him
with the rudiments of almost any of the
familiar sciences. If in addition to
wasting an hour each evening he spends
ten cents for a cigar, which is usually
the case, the amount thus worse than
wasted would pay for ten of the lead
ing periodicals of the country. Young
men, think of these things. Think how
much time and money you are wasting,
and for what? The qualification afford
ed by the lounge on the corner or the
cigar is not only temporary but posi-
lively hurtful. You a not indulge in
them without seriously injuring your
selves. You acquire idle and wastefnl
habits, which will cling to you with
each succeeding year. You may in
after life shake them off, but the proba-
bilities are that the habits thus formed
in early life will remain with you to
your dying day. Be warned, then, in
time, and resolved that as the hour
spent in idleness is gone forever, you
will improve each passing one and there
by fit yourself for usefulness and hap
piness.

Fortune Of the Late Cardinal AntOnelli.

Cardinal Antonelli is by far the
the wealthiest, of all Italians. His for
tune is variously estimated at from 10,-
900, 600 or 35, 000, 900 francs, independ-
emily of his rare and priceless collec-
ton of works of art, ancient coins, an
cient statuary, and other articles of
Ueytu worth not less than 100000
The Cardinal possesses n of the finest
assortments of precious stones to be
found in Europe, and he can boast Of
diamonds of all shapes of the purest
water, Incompatible emeralds, pearl
and turquoises, the richest laces. and
the m%atchless marvels of the loom of
the last period. His business for many
years has been to transact all the tenn
poral affairs of the Papacy as Secretary
of State to the Pope, President of the
Council of Ministers, Project of the Sa-
cred Apostolic Palaces, of the Sacred
Congregation of Loretto and of the
Consulta. His work was quite as much
that of a banker as of a diplomatist.
He inhabits a noble palace on the sum-
NIT of the Quirinal Hill. Although re-
ceiving with other Cardinals a salary of
$4,000 per annum, he is provided with
so many wealthy benefices that he has
accumulated an immense fortune. He
has a chaplain and c~onfessor, a little
court of his own, a scarlet-trimmed
coach emblazoned with ecclesiastical
heraldry, and a guard wearing cooked
hats and Observation-Disclosures Post.

Gold Hunting In Georgia.

Northern readers may be surprised
to know that Georgia has a gold fever,
and that some of the mines are in very
profitable operation. The mines are in
the northern part of the State, chiefly
in the neighborhood of Dahlonega,
where there are sever stamp-mills in
operation with a total of Il stamps.
Some of these mills are reported to get
out $4,000 worth of gold per month,
and it is estimated that lot less than
$4,000 worth of gold reaches this city
every month. The little boys in and
about D~ahlonega, it is asserted, spend
their leisure hours in sitting the loose
soil in pailfuls of water, and make so
to 70 cents a day. A solid nugget of
gold as large as q peanut was picked
up by the street workers in Dahlonega
as they were grading the public road.
The vein of gold, which starting in
North Carolina runs through all this
section, dipping to the southwest and
touching Carroll County, is thought to
be exceedingly rich. Spectators from
Boston are in Georgia, developing mines
at Gainesville and at Or near AckWorth.
The latter section is said to promise
even richer results than have been de-
veloped at Dahlonega.

How to Make Mischief.

Keep your eye on your neighbors.
Take care of them. Do not let them
stir without watching. They may do
something if you do not. To be sure you
never knew them to do any thing very
bad, but it may be on your own ac-
count they have not. Perhaps if it had
not been for your kind care they might
have disgraced themselves long ago.
Therefore do not relax any effort to
keep them where they ought to be.
Never miHd your own business-that
will take care of itself. There is a man
passing along-he is looking over the
fence-be suspicious of him; perhaps
he contemplates stealing n of these
fine nights; there is no knowing what
queer fancies may have got into his
head. If you find any symptoms of
any one passing out of the path of du-
ty, tell every one else what you see,
and be particular to see a great many.
1t s a good way to circulate such
things, though it may not benefit your
self, or any n particularly. Do keep
yourself a-going-silence is a dreadful
thing; it is said there was silence in
heaven for the space of half an hour;
do not let any such thing occur on
earth; it would be too much for this
mundane sphere, and, besides, you
would not be fulfilling your mission of
being a very "dirty dog"

Critical Periods Of Life.

From some elaborate tables drawn up
by DR.. Farr it would seem, as far as a
be made out, there are certain very crit
ical periods in our career. A baby, for
instance, has a very small chance in
deed of growing up. But, on the other
hand, the period between the tenth and
fifteenth years inclusively is that in
which the death average is the smallest.
At about 35 we must begin to take care
of ourselves. At this period constitu-
tional changes set in; u hair and
teeth begin to fail US; u digestion is
no longer what it used to be; we lose
the vigor of youth and neglect outdoor
exercise; above all, the cares of life be-
gin to make themselves p~erceptibly felt.
1t is at this time hat deaths from sui
eide take a marked place in the returns
of mortality, and there is also consider
able reason to believe that habits of in
temperance are apt to suddenly develop
themselves. The picture, however, has
its sunshiny side. It would take of
course a protested actuary to deduce
from DIR. Farr's tables their exact result.
1t appears, however, that if 8 man tides
over his fiftieth year he may make toll
erably certain of living to seventy;
while if he reaches his seventy-ifthyear
there is very strong presumption that
he will either turn his ninetieth birth
day or very near it. A still more inter-
esting question is opened by the series
of tables which show the average NOR
tality in different professions and pur-
suits. Gamekeepers are for obvious
reasons the healthiest class of our whole
population; clergymen and agricultural
laborers come next, and are followed
by barristers; solicitors and business
men are less fortunate; while at the
IRENE end of the scale come unhealthy
pursuits, such as printing and fle-grind-
ing.-PreSbyteriGn Banner.

Bread for the Effete Desp0tisms.

There are now AS wheat vessels en-
route to Europe from this port, all
cleared since July 1. This is a much
larger fleet than was ever known to be
en- route for Europe from the Pacific
States at this season of the year. The
wheat fleet in port comprises 70 vessels,
representing $4,000 tons of tonnage,
with a carrying capacity of 10000
tons, or 2,SOO,OO0 centals of wheat, all
of which must be loaded by the first of
January. There are also II ships and
barks in port awaiting charter, most of
which are suitable to carry wheat.
These vessels represent 10000 tons of
tonnage, and there are 20, 900 ions more

Duck Hunters Hiring Whole Lakes,

During the last two years, says the
Sacramento Record Union, professional
duck-hunters have hired the lakes in
the vicinity of Sacramento for the hunt
ing season and prevented amateurs
from shooting thereon. In some in
stances they made money by the trans
action, but as a general thing did not.
The result promises to be that the COM
petition for the possession of the best
shooting-grounds will cause the rem to
become SO high that the hunters will
not have as large incomes as they did
before they began renting. The anna
teur shooters of the city are considering
the d~esirability of forming clubs for the
renting of lakes next year-the larger
the club the greater the acres of prop
erty leased-and, as they have consid-
cradle feeling owe what they style the
.~'freeze-out" policy of the profession
ais, it is probable that, if the organiza-
ton of clubs is carried into effect, those
that shoot for the market will have a
brisk competition in the bidding for
possession of lakes.
