but he didn't settle. Did he pay you
anything?'
You bet he did,
''Well, dang his miserable carcass.

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
yant who received wound in the chest
in April last died from septicamia
under the care of this doctor, who. de-
spising 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
tents 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 lnveStl-
cations. including surgery. No pro-
vision is made in this country to pro-
tect the sick from being treated by in
competent or ill-informed doctors.
wouid-be physician in Europe must
undergo a rigid examination before he
is allowed to practice. but diplomas in
the United States are no guarantee OF
or skill in the treatment OF
disease. and then thousands of our
older physicians in the rural districts
are unacauainted with the advanced
methods in modern medicine and sur
pery due to discoveries made within
the last quarter of .. century.-Demor-
est's lNonthlu.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
embarrassment n st q Distin gushing Char.
acteristic al the Costa Ricans.

Embarrassment n st q Distinguishing Char
acteristic al the Costa Ricans.
No Costa Rican lady or gentleman is
ever embarrassed. They always know
how to do and say the proper thing
and while their courtesy and good
manners are said to be only SKIN deep
they are the most charming of com.
panions, the most generous of hosts,
and the most polite of gentlemen. Nc
laborer ever passes lady in the street
without lifting his hat and he always
touches that always dirty and gener.
ally dilapidated portion of his apparel
when gentleman passes him. If a
lady approaches group of men dig
glng cellar, repairing the street, OF
what not, even though some of them
may be half naked, they always salute
her respectfully, and in the rural ois.
tricts no one ever meets you without
saying MAY God prosper the object OF
your Journey" or MAY heaven smile
upon your Grand" or something in
Spanish like that. The same man will
swindle you out of your eye teeth if he
gets chance, and if you ask him how
far it is to the next place he will un-
doubtedly tell you a falsehood. He
doesn't care a copper whether you ever
reach the end of your journey: and has
no more regard for your welfare than
the flea in the grass, but he recognizes
beautiful custom and says. ''God be
good to you," as if he meant
it for blessing. And this
pOliteness permeates all classes
and castles. If you enter store with a
lady every man there will salute you
and remove his hat out of respect to
her. On the streets the people will
stand aside to let you pass. and it is
necessary to do so. for the sidewalks are
often less than two feet wide. If you
60 into a hotel office. barber shop,
restaurant or any other public place
everybody present will salute YOU with
'.Buenos Deos," or some other friendly
welcome. While there is not particle
of sincerity about all this; while the
object and end of life in the Spanish
mode of ethics is to get along with as
little work and as much swindling as
possible, they are certainly to be
praised for cheating you in the most
polite and agreeable manner possible
A Spanish highwayman does not swear
at you and command YOU to give him
your money or your life; he makes a
profound bow, places his hand upon his
heart, assures you that he is devoutly
grateful that you are looking so we'll.
and regrets that he is compelled by
pressing necessities to request that you
will loan him whatever valuables you
have upon your person. Then thank
ing you for your promptness and
courtesy in sparing him the painful
duty of shooting you through the head,
he will mount his horse and ride off
with prayer that the Almighty will
protect you from the perils of your
iourney.-B0stOaa Herald

LONDON FIRE DISTRICTS.
The Arrangements in England's Chic
City for Distinguishing Fires.

The Arrangements in Engiand's Chic
City for Distinguishing Fires.
London is divided for fire purposes
into four districts, each garrisoned
with 40 or 140 men-a force strong
enough to deal with the individual dis
trct fires. They are the A, compris.
ing Westminster, Kensington, BAYS
water, and writing roughly. the whole
of the West End; the b, the center,
including the city; the c, the East
End, and the ID, the whole of the
south side of the river, in which the
headquarters, in the Southwark Bridge
Road, are situated. Over each of
these districts there is Superin-
tendent connected with headquarters
by telegraph, and in most cases by
telephone, and himself connected with
all the stations over which he has
superintendent, for the discipline
and efficiency of which he is di-
rectly responsible to his chief. No
station, with one exception, is tele-
graphically connected with another;
every order passes from or through the
Superintendent, even if sent by the
chief. The one exception is in favor of
the two nearest stations of two dis
tIiCO-. TOI tllt SGdGiOH
est in District A is connected with the
nearest station in District B, and the
nearest in District D, but the connec-
ton is never made use of unless there
occurs fire on some point between, in
which case both stations communicate
and turn out. The connection is, of
course, also employed if there be a
break down of communication, such as
frequently occurs, between the Office of
the Superintendent of the district
where the station is situated and
headquarters. This system OF
communication by telegraph and tele-
phone, now rapidly approaching COM
pletion, is, as far at any rate as the
telephone is concerned, the growth of
only the last few years. for it was in the
early part of 1880 that the Edison Com
pany gratuitously established tele-
phonic communication between the b,
C., and d districts and headquarters.
The omission of the A district (the
West End) was caused by the necessity
of laying underground wires. an ex-
pense the company could hardly be ex-
pected to bear. The telephone now in
use is the Gower-Bell, for the postal
authorities, from whom the brigade
rent them, do not appear to favor the
Edison, Notwithstanding that those who
have had experience of both describe
the latter as the better or,shilI
Magazine.
