Miss Isadora Cameron appeared at the Union
Square Theatre, New York, Monday evening,
in the new dramatization of "Blsak House,"
assuming the character of "Hortense'', the
French maid. The New York critics speak in
high praise or the Characterization, the World
saying, "Miss Cameron's Hortense was fine
piece of acting She comprehends the French
womans malicious character and gives unre-
strained expression to her feelings; if only she
had learned to pronounce English words as a
Frenchwoman would pronounce them she
would make model Hortense" The Post
says, "Miss Isadora Cameron gave an imper-

Cumberland County vi edicul Society.

The regular monthly meeting was held yes
terday morning in the Medical school rooms.
The attendance was larger than usual, the
attraction being biographical sketch of the
late Dr. Alexander Ramsay, by DR.. Geo. P.
Bradley, U. S. N, who prepared the paper at
the request of the Society. In the absence Of
DR.. Bradley, the paper was read by the Presi-
dent, DR.. Gerrish, who also exhibited many
beautiful anatomical drawings, made by Ram
say, and numerous other articles of interest
which belonged to him. The reading was
listened to with the closest attention, and at its
close Judge Howard, who had known the sub
jsct of the memoir, and was present by invita-
ton, RECALLED the assembly with some most perth
nent and racy "reminiscences and anecdotes. The
Society formally extended its thanks to DR..
Bradley, and voted to present the sketch to the
Maine Medical Association at its next meeting
with view to its publication in the trans.
actions.
DR.. Ramsay came to this coantry in 1901,
having already made a great reputation in
Edinburgh as a superior teacher of anatomy.
He settled in Fryeburg in this state, and there
had his headquarters most Of the time until
his death in 1924. He rarely practiced his
profession, devoting himself almost entirely to
the work of teaching, in which he was sur
passingly successful. Only few of his pupils
survive, but.they all speak of him with unfai-
ing reverence and affection, and consider their
pupilage under him as the most instructive of
their lives. He was connected at various times
with colleges in New York, Brunswick, Hano-
yer and Fairfield, founded an anatomical Insti-
tute in Fryeburg, and gave scientific lectures in
very many cities and towns of the United
States and Canada. His knowledge of anat-
omy and his skill in dissection were truly
marvellous, and he was an artist of great
merit, engraving as well as drawing the plates
with which he illustrated his superb work on
anatomy, only one fasciculus of which he was
able to publish. His ideas of medical practice
were immensely in advance of his time; be
never bled, his treatment being supportive |
instead of depletive. Though his specially |
was anatomy, he seemed familiar with all de- |
partments of knowledge, the versatility and
grasp of his intellect being almost incredible. |
He was singular compound of contradictory
qualities. While the great aim of his life was
to 'corroborate faith by facts" to overthrow
"French principles of materialism, to impaIt |
to others the truths Of religion, he was pro |
ficient at profanity ard was addicted to drink. |
He was at once lavish and saving, disinterested |
and egotistic, charitable and ntolerant, philan-
thropic and ferociously ill-tempered. Alto |
gether he was one of the most remarkable and |
learned men the profession of medicine in |
Maine has ever embraced, and the Cumberland |
County Society has done itself honor in this |
effort to perpetuate his remembrance.

4 Terrible Warming.

The following sad case is held UP
as a solemn example of the mourn
full results sure to follow undue en-
terprise, and attedant upon all
ill-adjudged attempts to let the
wourl known of ones existence
Some time ago, two young me-
chanics in a Maryland town entered
into a co-partnership as wheel
wrights and carriage builders.
Both gentlemen were possessed of
shrewdness and industry, and were
getting along in a very happy and
contented way until they detern-
ined to venture upon a rash under
taking. Up to that time they had
been able to take things easy. They
had been coming to their shop in
the morning just when they fcl.
like it, and quitting in the evening
Just when they pleased. There
was no hurry, no rush, no worry.
Things went on in q smooth, sober
and comfortable manner. But, as
was minated above, they one day
decided upon change of tactics.
They concluded to insert a conspic-
nous advertisement in the local
paper. Then, with q recklessness
that was truly astonishing, they
managed to get themselves fire.
qneutly mentioned in the local col
umns of the newspapers. They
might have known that every body
would read these notices, but, with
singular fatality, they continued
the same desperate management
until they got themselves in a most
awkward fix. The first intimation
they bad of coming trouble was
when they realized that additional
help must be employed. They en-
ployed additional help, but still
their veXations were not over. Only
last week they discovered that their
ba62&gny mh2|&r,s WlH moy hfn WHEY
men, and will have Just about lin
ished to-day another shop in the
rear somewhat larger than the or
igiual one. Strange infatuation
Both these cleveryoung men might
have been enjoying a nap this very
afternoon If it had not been for
their unguardcd conduct. But
there is no further rest for them
except on Sundays and few short
hours after tea each day. We can
not say where it will all end. De-
lnded creatures We warn them
in time. II they don't mind, they
will be compelled to employ still
other assistants, and make still
other additions to their shop. But
advice seems to be thrown away on
such vonturesome people. At all
events, they should consider the
example they are setting. They |
should remember that other me-
chGnics and business men may go
and DO likewise. Then what q
calamity will they have to contcm-
plate. y town that was once quiet
and sedate, rendered busting and |
noisy with the hum of business,
the buzz of factories, and the rush
of accelerated commerce. We turn
from the picture with fear and |
trembling.

4 Short Rule for Frctters.

A friend has been visiting us
who was q fretter. She fretter
when it rained, and fretted when it
shone. She fretted when friends
canes to see her, and fretted when
they did not. 1t is deadful to be
a fretter. A fretter is troublesome
to herself and to her friends. We,
to be sure, have our trials but
fretting does not help us to bear or
get rid Of them. We have lately
come across n short rule for fretters,
which they shall have. Here it is.
Never fret about what you can help,
because, if you can help it, do so.
Say this when you get up in the
morning, say it at night; and not
only say, but do d.; ami that will be,
DO not fret at ala fine doing.
The only right way of getting
along is not to wish ourselves
somebody else and fret ourselves
because we are not, but contented-
ly bear our lot, and be satisfied
with what God has given us.
