The experience of any one OF education
and learning extending over q long period OF
time must necessarily be valuable, and
while no two experiences in this world are
alike. there is such a similarity between
them as TO render one which Is rich In valu-

A representative OF this paper lille

York hotel. met q gentleman whom he had
known years before in the city of Detroit.
but whom he had not seen before for a num-
Der OF years When the knight OF the quill
had last seen this gentleman, he was giving
his entire time and attention 70 an extensive
medical practice, and was Pm the crest OF the
wave OF popularity From Detroit he re-
moved TO New YORK where he could ind a
more extensive ield for his talents and ex-
p~erience. Although several years had passed
the doctors physical condition had evident-
~ been very much improved. for he was
looking much better than when the man OF
news had last seen him. After some general
talk, the doctor fell into an easy train OF con-
versation and uttered some truth 30 scien-
