Lawyers and Doctors in England.

A curioue phase of professional life
in England is the arbitrary classifca.
ton of men engaged in the same pro-
fession. A barrister must be a gen.
tlemen, a solicitor may be but an at
torney can't be. An attorney cannot
communicate directly with barrister
he must do so only through a solic-
itor. The barristers who are in real :
ity entirely dependent upon the at
torneys, consider it wholly unpardon-
able for one of their number to make
any social or professional advance to-
ward an attorney. The attorneys re-
venge themselves by the most shame
less firtations with half dozen bar
risters, and then Withdrawing with
the utmost GOODNESS and leaving them
conspicuously in the lurca. One Of
the most amusing things in the world
is to see an attorney with green bag
enter room full of barristers; the
effort to appear unconcerned is very
much like that Of row of yonng Ia
dies when a gentlemen appears who
evidently means to ask one of them to
dance. The etiqnet of the medical
profession in England is even more
unique. There are two distinct sec.
tions-the general practitioners and
the consulting physicians and sur
geons. The former charge very small
fees. supply their own medicines, and
RE called MIR. Nearly all the abctle-
cary shops are conducted By this class
of doctors. The consulting physicians
or surgeons are called Drs., and the
invariable rule is that the regulation
fee--ope guinea, shall be paid by the
patient as soon as the visit or consul
tation is over. This comes particu-
'arly hard in the naa1ades imagiaires,
who Of course require the services of
tue best doctors, and are compelled to
pay tremendously for their whistle.
Many persons offer pound note or
sovereign as the fee, which is one shil-
ling less. THIS the doctors character
ze by a forcible vulgarism. "Giving
the goose without tue gihlets."

LEARN A LITTLE EVERY DAY.

Little rills make wider streamlets.
Streamlets swell the rivers flow:
Rivers join the mountain pillows,
Onward, onward, as they gol
Life is made Of smallest fragments,
Shade and sunshine, work aud play
So may we, with greatest profit,
Learn little every day.
Tiny seeds make boundless harvests,
Drops of rain compose the showers
Seconds make the flying minutes,
And the minutes make the hours!
Let us hasten, then, and catch them
AS they pass us OH the way;
And with honest, true endeavor
Learn a little every day.
Let us read some striking passage,
Gull verse from every page;
Here a line and there sentence.
'Gainst the lonely time Of agei
At our work or by the wayside,
While the sunshine's making hay;
Thus we may by help of study
Learn little every day.

represent another mood. On the

in addressing his better half, 1t

reserved tone in many households.

Growth of American Cities.

The new census furnishes 8 table showing the population in such cities of the United States as have over 40, 900 inhabitants, which may prove pregnant of instruction from several points of view. The number of such cities is now forty-fve. Fourteen cities have been added to the list since the census of 1870. Between the last census and the present the population of Minneap- oils nearly quadrupled, advancing from 13,066 to 46,837. St. Paul, the mercan- tile neighbor of that great manufactur-
 ing point, within the same period dou- bled it's population, from 2O,O3O to Al, 473. Camden, N. J., kept even pace with St. Paul, increasing from 2O,O45 to Al ,659. Cambridge, Mass; Hart ford, Conn.,, and Scranton, Pa, just stepped over the line, increasing the number of their inhabitants only by the good, old-fashioned method.
 Of the larger nun icipalities, Chica- go's rate of increase has been the most rapid, being from 29s, 977 to 5O3, 1855, or seventy-fve per cent. Brooklyn's rate. in spite of New York's elevated railway development, is the next most notable, being from s96, O99 to 566, ,663, or about forty, five per cent. Boston's increase from 25O, ,526 to 362,s ,s39, Baltimore's from 267, 354 to 332, 313, Philadelphia's from 674, ,O02 to S47, ITO, and New York's from 942, ,291 to 1,2O6, ,299 are among the high ratios. Among the very high est ratios are those of the comparative ly small cities, Milwaukee and Detroit, the formers being somewhat over, and the latter's little under fifty per cent. The one has advanced within ten years from 71, 40 to 115, ,587, and the other from 79, 577 to 116, ,34O inhabitants.
