A REMARKABLE DECISION.

The Necessity OF Physicians Keeping
Abreast of the Modern Methods of Prac-
tice.
A physician was recently brought to
task by German tribunal for neglect
ing to keep himself informed as to
modern methods of practice. A SER
want who received wound in the chest
in April last died from septicamia
under the care of this doctor, who, de-
spisng antiseptic dressings, treated his
patient according to ancient usages.
The Court held that every medical
practitioner should keep h mself in
formed on the accomplished progress
OF science, and have an exact knowl-
edge OF modern systems of treatment.
If these had been employed the pa
ent's life might have been saved.
hence the liability for negligence.
The Court of Appeal sustained the
Judgment. Some effort should be made
in this country to force physicians to
pass examinations every few years as
to see whether they have keptinformed
as to the more recent medical investi-
cations. including surgery. No pro-
vision is made in tn s country to pro-
tect the sick from be ng treated by in
competent or ill-informed doctors A
would-be physician in Europe must
undergo rigid examination before he
is allowed to practice, but diplomas in
the United States are no guarantee of
knowledge or skill in the treatment of
disease. and then thousands of our
older physicians in the rural d stricts
are unacquainted with the advanced
methods in modern medicine and sur
gerry due to discoveries made within
the last quarter Of century. Demon

ESQUiMAU CANDY.
The Far Northern Substitute for Civilized
Sweetmeats.

The Far Northern Substitute for Civilized
Sweetmeats.
It would seem very strange, and per-
haps not very pleasant, to my young
readers to hear a tallow candle or the
shin-bone of reindeer called candy.
And yet these things may really be con-
sidered as Esquimau candy, because
they would delight the children Of the
cold in precisely the way that box of
bon-bons would delight you.
There is certain kind of waterfowl
in Arctic countries known as the dove
kie. 1t is about the size of q duck, Is
quite black, has a prominent white
stripe on its wings, and its webbed feet
are of a brilliant red. When sitting in
rows on the edge of greenish rock, these
little red feet are very conspicuous.
Sometimes, when the men Lave killed a
number of dovekies, the Esquimau
women cut off the bright led feet, draw
out the bones, and, blowing into the
skins, distend them as much /, possible
so as to form pouches. When these
pouches are thoroughly dried they are
filed with reindeer tallow, and the
bright red packages, which l assure
you look much nicer than they taste,
are little Boreas' candy. In very cold
weather the Esquimau children eat
great quantities Of fat and blubber; and
this fatty food, which seems to us SO
uninviting, helps to keep them warm
and well.
The only other kind of candy that the
Esquimau children have is the marrow
from the long leg or shin-bone of the
slaughtered reindeer. OF this, also.
they are very fond. Whenever REIN
deer is killed and the meat has been
stripped from the bones of the legs,
these bones are placed on the floor of
the igloo and cracked with a hatchet until
the marrow is exposed. The bones are
then forced apart with tee hands, and
the marrow is dug out of the ends with
long, sharp and narrow spoon made
from a walrus' tusk. | have eaten
this reindeer marrow frozen and cooked;
and after one becomes accustomed to
eating frozen meat raw. it is really an
acceptable tid-bit; while cooked and
nicely served it would be deli
cacy anywhere. Lieutenant Frederick
Schs0atEa, IN ST. Nicholas.

MAKING VEAL.

One Feature of the Dairy That Is Not
Often ProftsbIy Worked.
There is one feature of the dairy that
is not often worked as proftably as it
should be, and that is making veal All
the bull calves and many of the heifers
can be turned to much profit if they
are handled skillfully. To make good
veal. the calf should not only be fat and
of proper age when killed, but the fat
should be put on under proper condi-
tons. If allowed too much exercise,
there will be not only much delay in
arriving at the proper condition, but
the flesh will not be as tender and juicy
as it should be. 1t matters not whether
the calf is raised on the dam or BY hand,
if the latter method is properly pursued
We get the following excellent plan from
an exchange: You want to take your
calf off the COW at three days old have
a muzzle made for it similar to the one
they sometimes have for dogs. Keep il
in clean, dry, airy but darkened
room, and feed it nothing but pure and
skinned milk, warm as if fresh from
the COW, twice or three times day;
give IL ali IL Gan tdhcs anu ~ VIII get
fat in six or eight weeks. The muzzle
is for the purpose of preventing it from
taking straw, hay. and other foreign
substances. The darkened room is a
great factor in this fattening process,
as it keeps the calf quiet and induces it
to sleep great deal, which greatly
hastens the fattening process. This
method is, of course, only for raising
calves for veal. If the object is to make
mixers of the calves, they need the
exercise and slow growth of slower
methods. Good veal is too much rare
object in the market, and calves prop
erly fattened should bring enough more
than ordinary calves to pay well for the
extra trouble, if it can be called trouble,
to keep them quiet in dark ROOM

BERT.S THREE WRONG STEPS.

How the First Led to tho Second. aud
They to the Third.
"Here, Bert" said mamma one day;
''here are six almonds for you and six
for little sister Louise" She put his
sis almonds in one pocket, and Louise's
in another. Now" she said. ''before
you eat yours. go and find Louise, and
give her her six; then you may eat them
together. +"
Yes, ma am, said Bert, trotting of
on two happy bare feet. out into grand
fathers big county yard. He meant
to mind mamma, but, as You will see,
like many another child who did not
mean to do wrong. he did not mean it
quite hard enough.
For when, after looking only little
while for Louise, he could not find her,
he concluded to rest himself in his hunt
by eating just one of his almonds; no.
two So he sat down on the root OF
an oak and took two out of his pocket

SlA Jay Stttbtito atouho hihi'
This was the first of the three wrong
steps that l set out to tell you abont;
for the little boy was disobeying mann
ma by eating almonds before he found
Louise; that was bad enough. but the
great trouble about wrong steps is that
you can hardly ever take one at a time,
they do follow one another 50 fast.
The best way Is never to take the first
one. Then you will never take the
second.
Bert hunted little while longer for
Louise, but I'm afraid 1t was a very
easy Hunt; for she was only down in the
orchard, sitting In the crotch of the
June apple-tree, reading the book which
she had got the week before at the Sun
day-school library.
II wonder if mamma didn't give
Louise more than six Bert said to
himself after awhile; and then he took
his second wrong step, by handling and
coveting what didn't belong TO him; for
he took Louise's almonds out and began
to count them over and play with them;
then he thought he'd crack them for
her, and may be he'd find double one.
All! the third wrong step, the worst

fore he knew it Louise almonds were
gone. You may be sure he fei. very
unhappy about it, and he got more and
more miserable as he saw Lcuise's little
pink sun~bonnet coming towards him
from the orchard, II he only could
have undone what he had done a little
before. how happy he would have been.
But that could not be; and he waited
silently till Louise spoke to him.
"Why, Bert" she said. noticing at
once the litter of hulls; didn't mamma
send me anyp I'll run and get mine."
Bert let her go; he fe too much
ashamed to tell about it. But Of course
he had to tell at last, foolish little boy!
Mamma was very angry. but more dis
tressed than angry, and Bert was not
allowed to have any dessert for dinner,
or any molasses for breakfast, or any
preserves for supper, or any candy or
nuts, FIR two whole weeks.
Those two weeks seemed long to the
little boy; but hope he had time, as
the days went by, to think over those
three wrong steps, and to see what
pity it was that he took the first one

Famous Drug Which Is One of the Most
Highly Priced of the Productions OF
COrea.
A Parliamentary paper contains the
account of journey made by the Con.
sul-General of Great Brita in Corea.
Some interesting information is given
with regard to the product on of the
famous drug ginseng, so priced as a
tonic by the Chinese. 1t is grown from
seed which is sown in March. The
seedlings are planted out in beds raised
foot above the level of the surround.
ing soil. bordered with upright states,
aud covered in from sun and rain by
sheds of reeds, well closed in except
toward the north side, where they are
left to open. In the first or second
year the ginseng plant is only two or
three inches high, and has only two
leaves. 1t is transplanted frequently
during this per cd. In the fourth year
the stem is about six inches high, with
four horizontal leaves stand ng out
from it at r ght angles and in the fifth
year strong, healthy plant has
reached maturity, though it is
more usual not 20 lake
it up until it has reached the sixth sea-
son. Ordinary ginseng is prepared by
simply drying the root in the sun or
over charcoal fire. To make red or
clarified ginseng, the root is placed in
wicker baskets, which are put in large
earthenware vessel with closely fit
ting cover, and pierced at the bottom
with holes. 1t is then placed over
boiling water, and steamed for about
four hours.
Ginseng was for centuries regarded
as a very elixir of life all over the East;
and especially in China and Japan.
Its properties were supposed to be mi
raculous. but they were generally sup
posed to be confined to the Corean GIN
seng. But its enormous price put it
out of the reach of the poorer classes.
The wild ginseng of Corea has frequent
ly fetched twenty times its weight in
silver in China. The export from Corea
is a strict monopoly, which affords a
considerable revenue, and is said to be
the Kings personal perquisite. Death
is the punishment for smuggling it out
of the country. The total export is
only about $4,000 pounds avoirdupois.

Float my fancies forth with thee
On the sea the white ships go,
Noiseless, winged, to and fro:

Happy fancies they, to know

Ships that sail, and seas that lie

Judge Wayne. The other Justices
ranged them selves on either side, in
order of seniority, and the formal proc
lamation was made: "Oyez! Court. y
The members of the bar, who had
risen, bowed respectfully and the court
returned the salutation. Judge Wayne
then handed to the new Chief-Justice
the prescribed oath of Office. which he
read impressivefy, and as he concluded;
he added, raising his right hand: so

Christian bodies in this
Already there are three
Joss houses in Honolulu. Who shall
say, in view Of passing events, that al
tars to strange gods will not be raised
in what are now Christian churches,
and the smoke of their incense ascend
in buildings rendered sacred by dedi-
cation to the worship of God? This
is far from being improbable, seeing
that a missionary church building in
Lahaina, Maui, is now occupied as a
lodging house and gambling den by
Chinese Iaborers working for Mr.. w.
Y. Homer, the planter for the Pioneer
Mill there. Chinese are now in pos
session of churches in San Francis, D,
abandoned at their approach; they
will certainly enter into possession of
abandoned churches in Honolulu
when the time for their occupation
arrives. And that time is not far
distant unless the drift of immigra-
ton changes wholly. We seek TO
build up a Christian State, not to
establish a Chinese labor colony for
the enrichment of handful of men.
