May Doctors Advertise :

The so called medical "code ethics"
says they may not, but we have yet to
find .he doctor who can give a plausible
reason why they may not; further we
have yet to find a doctor who does not
advertise. There are many ways of ad.
vertising besides paying for space in the
legitimate newspapers-ways that are
less expensive, and we might add at the
same time, less reputable. Some doctors
advertise themselves by their positions
AS college professors, many seek other
public positions for the same purpose
some keep q number of horses, with
which they dash around the squares and
up and down the avenues several times q

ways by which the "ethical" physician
brings himself into public notice, which,
when viewed in the light of common
sense, are not more honest, and Ger.
tainly not more honorable (since they
partake so much OF deceit) than a
straightforward announcement in the
newspapers. The advertising columns
of the papers are intended to supply the
wants of those who have special informa-
ton to convey to the public, and it is
more business like for good physicians to
make their resources known through
this legitimate medium. by paying for
the space they occupy, than to resort to
all manner of petty trickery to make
themselves notorious. st. Louis Star

TRACES OF MENTAL ANGUISH. The
guardsmen returned from Egypt, who
now walk the streets of London, have a
wild look abou. the eyes and marked
unquict about the brow. The trace Of
severe privation is left in their dried and
shrunked forms. but the trace of mental
anguish is visible enough in the dis
turbed glsnces they cast around. The
same expression was noticeable in the
faces Of the men returned from Zulu

And this blessed night, long ages ago
A babe was born, whose infant cries
Brought guiding star in eastern skies
And Joy supreme to comfort human woe,
That Christmas night
With beasts of burden and in manger born,
The Sun of God beheld the light
And wise men led by star at night,
VIII frankincense bless'd His natal morn
That Christmas night
And He, who humbly came all men to save,
Will guide the outcast in her flight,
And shape her course to peace and light,
And lead her weary footsteps to the grave,
This Christmas night
And We who revel in the joys of home,
And feign would follow Him who leads,
Find in your midst heart that bleeds,
And bid it TO your festive table come,
This Christmas night
For there are lives that are uubless'd with
peace,
Storm-tossd and laden down with woe;
Whose weary plodding thr' ugh the snow
Need kindly help until their journey cease
This Christmas night
Remember what He sad, "Whate'er We do,
To the humblest of NV creatures
Love suffus'd his God like features
"Whate'er your acts to them I'll judge ye
through"
This Christmas night!
But not your love on Christmas night alone
Is needed for your suffering kind
All nights are His, whose loving mind
Bore human pangs to human sins atone.
This Christmas night
No sparrow's fall escapes his watchful eye,
No homeless one who roams the street
Shall find His saving care less sweet
Because in binding snow they walk or lie

Heroism of southern women,

From the Detroit Free press.l
History will never detail the self-sac-
riiGe and heroic courage of southern
women. No matter as to tue right or
wrong of the cause-they believed it
was right. The blow fell upon the
family household early and with full
force. In Virginia seven out of ten
families were without men folks at home
within three months from the first bat
tie. Father and sons went together.
The wife and mother gave all she had,
and then turned to face further ankle
ties. There were thousands Of women
III the Old Dominion who had never
laced their shoes or combed their hair.
The slave was on hand TO obey every
nod. These women sent their husbands
and sons to the front, and they fac d
the question Of food supply. Ia many
cases the slaves ran away. When this
occurred the women went into the fields
and put In such crops as they could.
Where the slaves remained the mistress
was forced TO act as her own manager
and overseer, and assume all response
bilitY. There are plenty OF federal
troopers still living who found educated
and cultured southern women welding
hoes and holding plows IN the eornfelJ
within Fix months Of the opening OF the
war.
1t waS the southern women more
than the provost uarshals who checked
desertion and made su b offsnses odIous.
The confederate who lett the front with
ont leave found DO welcome outside Cf
his own family. He who came home by
authority, and with a wound to attest his
bravery in action was q hero until duty
compelled his return.
No man ever saw a night 80 wild that
a southern woman would not face it to
carry news to confederate soldiers.
Every woman was scont aud a spy. If
he mother could not go the daughter
was sent. IL there was no daughter a
dlspatch or message was hurried of by a
negro or a signal was made. They came
to accurately estimate the strength Of
marching columns, TO identify one make
of guns from another IN the batteries,
and where scouts and spies could not 60
the women could. II was the women
who saved Mosby again and again. 1t
was a woman who told General jackson
lhe exact strength Of the federal force at
Port Royal before he fell upon 1t n car
rying out hjs valley campaign. 1t was
a woman who told Early just how
Sheridan's army was distributed at
Cedar Creek, aid there was scarcely a
battle on Virginia soil with which
women had not something to do as the
bearer Of information. Once enlisted III
the cause they did not know what de-
spair vas. They sent their bedding to
the hospitals, their provisions to the
army, and their jsVelry to the buyer of
confederate arms in Europe. When the
confederate government could not fur
nish rations, the conf derate womer did.
I have asked hundreds of confederate
soldiers how they made start after the
war, aud IN nearly every instance the an.

SAD END OF A ROMANCE.
A Promised Bride Finds Her Lover in a
Murderer's Cell.

Sr. LOUIS, November 90. - Fred
Spilker, the German saloonkeeper who
shot his partner last week, has been
visited by his fance who arrived in this
country only to find her lover occupying
murderer's cell. Spilker was born in
Minden, Westphalia. where he went to
school and was raised with Kornhardt,
the man he killed. The girl was to be-
come his wife when he came to this
country, and it was understood that
the separation of the lovers was
only to be for few months.
When Spilker went into busi-
ness and everything looked prosperous
he wrote to the girl to come to st. Louis
Her near relatives had died in the mean
time, and gathering together everything
she had, 5000 marks in all, she left for
this country and arrived safely in New
York. Spilker lived over the saloon,
and it was intended that they should get
married at once. A very affecting scene
occurred at the Jail when the girl met
her lover in bis cell. They have decided
to pool their financial issues, and make
a strong fight in the criminal court.
