the bill, now before the legi L, ure in
this State, the following extract from
q communication in the st. Louis
Globe. Democrat may interest some Of
the UNION readers. Be it remembered
that the Missouri law makers are
ais wrestling with the quack prob.
Truthful college graduating papers
may tel us his record rs student in
the ANA Mater granting him his M.
d., but that gives society no assurance
Of his practical skill in curing the sick.
Let all stand severely on their own
personal merits, and let the people be
free to employ a doctor-with or
without sheepskins, as they do not
necessarily imply medical skill.
Our civilization is cursed with too
many ninnies in all the professions,
who boast of college diplomas, and
wear their titles with the ostentation
Of little strutting dooryard bantam.
We should honor diplomas only in the
ratio they assured us of excellence.
But the germ of true excellence and
eminence is in the man, not in a sheep
skin diploma hung in his office or
studio.
Professional titles are too cheap and
easily earned, and have ceased to be
the guaranty badges of worth. The
eminence has to be earned by the per-
severing diligence of him who has the
inherent God given germ of true great.
ness in his cast of being. We can
crowd through a college term com.
mon mediocres and title them NJ. D.
or Rev, but no lapidarian skill or ma
chinery can make piece of coarse
.shale or sandstone accept the high
polish Of a frst-quality diamond fit to
grace the coronet of empire. Neither
will college honors or diplomas make
a highsoaring eagle out of a conceit.

Well would it be for our civilized
communities did no persons enter the
Christian pulpit or the medical pro-
fession but such as were fully gifted
by God in their nature, in the very
holdings of their whole being, to reach
excellence and eminence in life labors
Of most extensive usefulness. For
he mere self-seeking mer cenary can
never fill the bill of the honorably

minister. The consciences of some
better suits the auctioneer than the

better than.it does the clinic or the
chamber of the sick.
Some Of the most skilled artists and
mechanics never served any regular
apprenticeship. Shall law deny us the
right to employ them unless they have
a diploma from some master or tutor!
Many most successful. useful practi-
TONERS in the healing art can not show

The Pleasures of Business.

No human mind is contented without
occupation. No human soul is satisfied
without an aim OF purpose in life. The
greatest success in life consists not in
the mere accumulation of riches, but in
being able to acquire wealth with dis
position to apply it in such manner
that it shall be comfort and blessing
to others-not in the mere giving away
of money, but in putting people in a
way to labor and help themselves. There
is no pleasure in oppression. There is
no JOY in grinding and exacting gold
from the poor; but there is a great deal
of genuine satisfaction in being able to
offer steady and honorable employment
to the many willing hands that have
nothing to do. One Of the greatest en-
joyments of the prosperous business man
consists in being able to comfortably
provide for the many employees in his
house or mandatory. In doing this
he is fulfilling his obligations to society !;
he becomes q useful and honored citi-
zen business to him is real pleasure !;
he enjoys his successes, when they are
fairly won, because he feels that he de-
serves them.
When business man has the right
kind of a purpose in life he enjoys his
occupation, be feels just and worthy
pride in his prosperity, he is pleased
with the respect and gratitude of those
whom he directs and controls in the
management of his affairs, and he feels
that in benefting himself he is confer
ing favor upon hers.-Crjterion.

A Remedy for Diphtheria.

The following letter from physician
in Washington contains prescription
which he says he has tried for diph-
liberia, and found never to fail. It may
prove useful to parents who have no
physician within immediate call, and is
worth the trial of the medical class:
From the reports of the bulletin of the Ma
tional Board of Health, and from what the
daily papers say, should think that your read
ers needed knowledge of some preventive
against the spread of diphtheria, which I send
you. have used it for over four years. with
uniform success, no case where it was used
ever contracting the disease, no matter what
the communication and contagion may have
been. believe that 1t will prevent the spread
of the disease, except where there is some very
virulent local poison even then it will modify
and weaken the intensity of the poison. If sue
cessful, will you be kind enough to send me
particulars:
Sub-sulph. of iron or Mousels salt of iron,
l drachm.
Water, 6 ounces, or ~ gilis.
Sugar, to suit the taste.
Mixed.
The dose varies with the age and the yiru-
lence of the contagion. For child from one
to five years, one-fourth of teaspoonful in
water, from one to six times each day from
five to fifteen, half teaspoonful from one to
six times each day from fifteen upward, one
teaspoonful from one to six times day.

cook was afraid to kill the animal lest
the mutton might be favored with to-
bacco. Another case mentioned was
that of kitten, five months DID, which
had liking for Salads. Cucumbers
dressed with vinegar were consumed
with avidity, even though hot with Cay
enne pepper. 1t has eaten boiled beef
with mustard, and its mother was once
seen to eat slice of cucumber which
had upon it salt, pepper and vinegar.
IT is still prevalent belief in certain
places of England, that the bride, in
removing her bridal robe and chaplet at
the completion of the marriage cere-
monies, must take special care to throw
away every pin worn on this eventful
day. Evil fortune, it is affirmed, will
sooner or later inevitably overtake the
bride who keeps even one pin used in
the marriage toilette. Woe also to the
bridesmaids if they retain any of them,
as their chances of marriage will thereby
be materially lessened, and anyhow they
must give up all hope of being welded
before the following Whitsuntide. On
the other hand, in Sussex q bride on
her return home from church is often at
once robbed of all the pins about her
dress by her single friends present, from
the belief that whoever possesses one
of them will be married in the course of
year. Much excitement and amuse-
ment are occasionally caused by the
youthful competitors for this supposed
charm; and the bride herself is not in
frequently the victim of rather rough
treatment.

Life in GERMANY.

With an outlay which seems miserably
small to the American, Germans con-
trive to lead a merry life. Fine music
and drama at cheap prices, the love of
outdoor life and the multitude of holi-
days which allow him to crafty it, a
passionate fondness for singing, an
abundance of beer, cheap wines and CT
CARS, will atone, in the German mind,
for great many other deficiencies. AS
to books, there is no country where they
are cheaper or more abundant. Ten
thousand new titles are printed every
year. In Prussia, compulsory education
secures a good average culture. The
new empire is far ahead of us, not
only in the organization of its army,
but in the organization of its civil ser
vice and the conditions of tenure of Of
flee. Its schools are in many respects
superior to ours. We have borrowed its
kindergartens and might borrow with
advantage some features of its university
life. We have adopted its postal-cards.
The money-order system is very con-
venient, the money being brought to
your door. And do we not owe an i'm
mense debt to German learning? As to
music and art, we must stand with our
hats off, With all it's sauerkraut, sausage
and beer, there is q charm about
German home-life that cannot be ig-
nored. There is a sweetness of affec-
ton in the family circle, fidelity to
friends, stability of character and a
homely righteousness which the most
obstinate prejudice can hardly resist.
It is frank and innocent life, always
open to inspection.

Poets Laureate.

Concerning the institution of Poet
Laureate, Disraei remarks ("Curiosi-
ties of Literature') that "the custom of
browning poets is as ancient as poetry
itself. Frederick the Second crowned
the King of Verses at Ancona in 1920.
Petrarch received the laurel crown ct
Rome on Easter day, in 1341. Maxi
milan I. founded a poetical college at
Vienna, in 1904. In England the
Kings versiier existed as early as 1851.
Gulielmus Peregrinus and Robert Bac-
ton acted as royal poets to Richard the
First and Edward the Second respective
ly. Chaucer assumed the title of Poet
Laureate about 1869. The title of
Kings Poet Laureate first occurs in the
reign of Edward the Fourth, when John
Key held the Office. The first patent
was granted in 1880. The ode per-
formed at the court on New Years day
was discontinued in 1870. Since the
appointment of S. Daniel, in 1899, the
Office has, except in the case of Dryden,
been held for'life. 1t is passing strange
to find the names of Dryden and Nahum
Tate occurring in the same list. Mr..
Tennyson was appointed Poet Laureate
in 1850 on the death of Wordsworth.
