MAPS FOR DOCTORS.
How a Physician Must Now and
Then Dissembie His Opinion.

From the London Truth.
A doctor may very easily make fair
reputation and good deal of money
without much knowledge of medicine; for
this reason, that the science of medicine
is a closed book to the vulgar. When man
dies, none Of the friends (unless there
chance to be a Coroner's inquest) know
in the least degree what killed him. And
If you call in some great medical gun at
the last moment, the great medical gun
is sure (indeed, believe by the etiquette
of the profession he is bound) to tell you
that your doctor has "treated the case
most judiciously" On the other hand,
when a sick man gets we'll, no one knows
what cured him, and the doctor-who was,
perhaps, on the wrong tack throughout
gets all the credit. Thus, the best-in-
deed, almost the only-way in which
doctor can convince his patients that he is
wise and knowing in his profession Is by
showing them that he is clever and we'll
Informed man out of his profession. OF
his science as a doctor they are not In 8
position to judge; but, il he talks sensi-
bly, about subjects which they do not I'M
observation-disclosures and shares, and pic
lures, and last nights debate in Parlia-
ment, and has fair luck with his cases
then his patients will trust and swear by

ton of the injury which a doctor does

distrlct) came home one afternoon from
the Stock Exchange and found the lady in
a terrible state of excitement, piling the
fire with pill boxes, and throwing "the
mixture as before'' out of the window.
On investigation, it turned out that the
doctor had called. and in the course of
conversation had innocently and casual
ly inquired:
What is this habeas corpus, can you
tell me. Mrs. Blank. which they talk of
suspending in Ireland"
To lady who had grown up from child
hood with the habeas corpus perpetually
suspended over her like drawn sword,
the ignorance thus displayed was too
shocking. Not drop of thSt mans medi-
cines, she declared yehemently, should
ever pour down the throats of her chill
dren. This shows, think, that the SEN
sIble doctor will do we'll TO look into a
book occasionally, and to read the morn

Facts for Travellers,

An examination Of an article in Poor's
Manual on the railroads of the United
States will prove very instructive. 1t ap-
pears that the total length of railroad
tracks in this country up to Dec. 81, 1885,
was lbs, 1856. 70 miles. This would make a
railroad winding around the earth at the
equator five times, and leave enough
track for an extension to the centre OF the
earth. II pointed out into space 1t would
reacn more than half way to the moon.
The total liabilities OF all these roads
amount to only $S,073, 573, 1874, while their
assets are but S214, 261. 220 more than this.
The total train mileage of all roads re-
ported was but $50, 173, S65. The number
of passen gers carried was 35l, 427, 0SS,
which, if things were run according to
the views of the Socialists, would have
given every man, woman and child in the
United States six rides on the railroad
last year. The total mileage of these pas
sengers was 9,133,6 1856 miles, or an
average of only thirty miles each. Tons
moved were 49,, 040, 900, or tons moved one
mile. 40, 151, 1894, 569, or only the one hun
dred-thousandth part of the weight of the
earth, which is .sutat nearly 5000 triliion
tons. The earnings from the passengers
were only $500, $50, 9l1, which would aver
age less than soc. each or only &c. mile.
The number OF deadheads is not given, an
important omission. The net earnings of
the roads were only Sa66, 4S8. 1893, or about
81 600 to the mile of track,

From the Neto York Tribune.
Blind Tom, the colored pianist, is said
by his mother, Charity Virgins, to be of
weak mind, and she made an unsuccess-
full application to Justice Donohue yes
terday to have committees of his person
and estate appointed. The Judge held
that the court had no jurisdiction, and
that her application should be made TO a

taken action in regard to the case. In
her petition she says that Blind Tom was
born in lS49, in Georgia. She and his

father and mother agreed with Bethune
that he should have Tom for five years, at
the end of which he would attain hls ma

pianist and in 1876 he was brought TO this

A STRANGE SUICIDE.
A Young Man Hangs Himself in a
High Tree Top.
From the Chattanooga Times.

From the Chattanooga Times.
The Inhabitants OF the little village OF
Bridgeport, on the line Of the Nashville
and Chattanooga Nrallroad, twenty-five
miles from this city, were thrown into
great state OF excitement yesterday after
noon by the discovery of the dead body OF
well known young man named Allln
Holly, hanging in the top OF tree.
The suicide was a very singular one,
and the motive which prompted the young
man to take his own life 10 shrouded IN
mystery. Holly's home is In Texas, but
he came to South Pittsburg two months
since on visit to relatives. TWO weeks
after his arrival his elder brother, L. w.
Holly, who lives near Bridgeport, was
taken dangerously i'll with fever, and the
young man went to his bedside and re
manned with him until he was GONZALES
cent. Five weeks ago last Saturday night
young Holly bid his brother and family
cheerful good night and went to his
room. He was never again seen alive.
The next morning he was gone and the
family supposed he had returned to south
Pittsburg until the awful discovery was
made yesterday. Holly undoubtedly hung
himself the night he disappeared, as the
rope he used was missing the following
day from his brothers. house. He went
about three hundred yards from his broth
er's house and climbed to the top OF tall
beech tree, covered with thick foliage. On
a stout limb he fastened the rope, and
then tied 1t securely around his neck.
When he swung off the limb he fell about
fifteen feet. as was indicated by the
length of the rope, and his neck was
broken by the fall.
Yesterday afternoon a young man
named Thomas, while out squirrel hunt
ing saw the body hanging In the tree.
He gave an alarm and In a short time the
body was cut down. 1t presented most
revolving and sickening spectacle. The
body had been han cling for five weeks and
was in a greatly advanced state Of de-
composition, while his eyes had been
picked out and the flesh torn from the
face and neck by the buzzards. The re-
mains Of the unfortunate man were con-
veyed to his brothers. residence, and will
be buried to-day. Holly was 20 years OF
age and leaves wife and two children in

FORMS OF VERTIGO.
Symptoms which Scare Persons
Badly-Not Often Dangerous.
From The YOUTHS Oompanion.

From the Youths Companion
Vertigo is from a Latin word that
means to turn. 1t denotes an ailment
characterized by a sudden feeling of dir
illness, and at times by actual falling.
Sometimes surrounding objects seem to
the person attacked to whirl around, or
the floor or ground to rise up. The fact
that vertigo is often one OF the earlier
symptoms ofapopleXy frequently fills the
person with terror. lest that deadly dis
ease may be impending. But in the ma
iority OF cases it has no such signifi-
canoe, not even as indicating tendency.
One form of vertigo, a very persist
menJ form, is due to irritation of certain
nerves within the inmost chamber of the
ear, the so-called labyrinth. This was
what Dean Swift suffered from so long,
and, to the physicians OF his day, so un-
accOuntably. One Of It's symptoms is
temporary deafness. This distinguishes
1t from all other forms.
Another form connects itself mainly
with the eye. OF this kind is the feeling
OF giddiress which some people have
when, being on train at rest. another
train slowly passing deceives them into
the idea that 1t Is their own train which
has begun 10 move. The giddinessoccrrs
at themoment when the false and true
sensations become confessed together.
In the case OF the near-sighted the in
ternal muscles OF the eye, often being I'M
duly strained in their efforts to converge
The eyes sufficiently for the sight of near
objects. suddenly give way, when the eye-
balls turn out and the letters run into
each other. This is accompanied with a
feeling OF giddiness, eyeache, headache
and sometimes nausea.
A third form connects itself with some
slight disorder of the stomach. and occurs
most often when the stomach is empty.
There is sudden swimming in the head,
objects seem TO revolye and the person
totters and perhaps falls.
A fourth form is purely of nervous ori-
gin, and is due to nervous exhaustion. 1t
may be caused by intellectual overstrain,
long-continued anxiety, physical ex-
cesses, or the immoderate use Of tobacco,
alcohol or tea. Elevated positions may
bring on an attack. 1t rarely results in
actual falling, but oftener in the feeling
OF being about TO fall.

The Tavares. Apopka and Gulf.

The construction of the Tavares, Apop-
ka and Gulf railroad, commencing at
Tavares and ending at Marco, on the
Gulf, seventy miles nearer Key West than
any other railroad terminus, is making
rapid progress. Track laying has begun,
and the cutters are getting out nearly a
mile OF ties per day. The road will be
completed. at this rate, to Kissimmee by
Jan. /. The route thence is down the
'Kissimmee valley, past multitude of
1akes, touching Lake Okeee hobee at Fort
Center, thence along the Caloosahatchee
river to Fort Myers-the head of naviga-
ton for sea-going vessels, and then, turn
ing southwark, stretches along the Gulf
coast 100 or 100 miles 70 Marco. The en-
.terprise Is backed by powerful railway
syndicate, and will in time BIZ consum-
mated. The recently projected Tavares
and Palatka railroad is link IN the same
great chain, which will find one of it's
termini here at the head of ocean naviga-
lion on one side OF the peninsula, and
on the other, at Marco, on the Gulf of
MEXICO.
