A Warning to Doctors.

The Chinese authorities of Shanghai
recently issued q quaint decree respect
ing the neglect of physicians to attend
at once on their patients, and the high
fees which they charge. They give
notice that it is the duty of all physicians
to use their knowledge for the benefit
of the people; when people are sick
they must be ready to attend upon them
whenever they are sent for, without re-
garding the hour of the night or day, o
the state of the weather. When people
are ill they long for the presence of the
doctor as the grain of seed longs for the
rains. Instead of doing this, however,
the physicians now think that they pos
sess great skill, and not only charge
high fees, but insist on being paid full
hire for their chair coolies, and they do
not care what becomes of the patient s o
that they get their fees. If these
were only charged to the wealthy
it would not so much matter; but the
poor have too pay them also. An evil
practice (the decree goes On) also exists
by which doctors will not visit their
patients before two o'clock in the after
noon. Some will even smoke opium
and drink tea until late in the evening.
These are abuses. the magistrates say,
which they will on no account permit.
Doctors must attend their patients at all
times. They must, if necessary, visit
them several times daily; they must
think more of them and less of their fees.
Notice, therefore, is given to all officials
and people that a physician who does
not attend when he is called must only
receive half his fees and half his chair
hire. IF you physicians delay your
visits you show your wickness, and sin
against yourselves" The decree is 8
model one for a paternal Government;
argument. entreaty, objurgation. ex-
position. threats, are all mingled in due
proportion Mature.

Spirited SparrOWs.

Attention was attracted the other day

hanging on the fence of Washington

blage gathered to witness a desperate
conflict between two sparrows. The
venOmOus little rascals were intent on
business and seemed to be aware that
their "mill'' was attracting unusual
notice. They hammered away at each
other with a vim and vigOr which would
have done credit to Paddy Ryan and
Sullivan. Each took his punishment
with little complaint, except now and
then a sharp squeak would announce q
telling blow on the part Of one or the
other of the contestants. They backed
and filed and came to the "scratch'
after the most approved prize ring fash
ion, and struck out in full accord with
bird science. After about fifty rounds
were fought with a give and AXE that
showed the pluck of the belligerents.
they became exhausted and laid down
on their sides about ten inches apart and
painted like distressed hounds. The
blood flowed so freely from the heads OF
each it was difficult TO tell which was
entitled to the honor of having drawn
the ..rubv'' first. After about a minutes
rest they called ..time" themselves and
flew at each other again with the ferocity
of bulldogs; they pulled and hauled and
pecked. aiming at each others eyes.
which were blood-red with rage. until.
too exhausted to stand, they lay down
on their sides. and in that position shook
each other like terriers. At this junct-
ure q small boy entered the ring, and
the gladiators, too weak to escape, were
carried off into hopeless captivity.
