Big Fees of Big Doctors.

All doctors do not get big fees, as
the following from the New Yor> Com
mercial Advertiser shows, but some
of the profession in New York city are
paid well:
There are at present, it is estimated.
almost 5000 physicians in this city,
or one for every 800 of its inhabit-
ants, which is certa My a bountiful
supply. If the satirical saw, "The
more doctors the more Illness" be
true, New York shout be over running
with patients. But it is not; indeed,
it is quite a healthful town. which
may account for the alleged fact That
the majority of our doctors hardly
carr q decent livelihood by theirprac-
tice, being often obliged to depend on
credit. Many are constantly forced
out of the profession in order to get a
living; but their places are regularly
and rapidly supplied. Nearly 5000
make, 1t is said, from ST, 500 to
$4,000 a year, and some 1900 make
from $4,000 to $4,000; only a few
hundreds reached the last figures, and
then they have passed middle age.
Forty or fifty perhaps have incomes
from $4,000 upward, and these are
SO constantly heard of that one might
infer that the amount is rather tae
rule than the rare reception. Most Oh
the physicians who are p~ecuniarhy
prosperous are what are called fash
ionable physicians-that is, they are
in attendance on richfamilies OF social
position. Not a few Of these get $780,
900 to $780, 900 a year, and occasional

aire whose life they have saved,
though it may not have been worth
saving. DR.. Jared Linsly. who was
with old Cornelius Vanderbilt during
his last illness, received $4,000 Tor
his service, and DR.. McLane, who
went abroad with William I'll Van
derbilt toward the close OF his life, and
was called in after the railway mag
nate had his last attack OF apoplexy,
is understood to have received some
thing like $4,000. AS doctors gem
orally charge their patients, in special
cases, what the patients are able to
pay, and as eften get nothing and
ask nothing from the poor, there is
no reason why the rich should not
compensate them handsomely, par
ticularly when they have the good
luck to produce q cure. Generally
| speaking, however, a physicians LIE
is very hard and trying.

Hobart Pasha.

Augustus Charles Hobart Hampden,
third son of the late Earl of Bncking-
hamshire, a lineal descendant OF John
Hampden, whose name he assumed,
was born on April 4, 1922. Heentered
the navy at an early age, and his first
experiences were of the rudest. The
description of the. midshipmen's birth
to which he was introduced might be
compared with those OF Midshipman
Easy" or sPete1 Simple and his cap
tain, though his cousin, is represented
as an odious tyrant. Some OF the
stories told of this maa are well-nigh
Incredible: "Ihave seem" says Hobart,
"a captain order his steward to be
logged almost to death because bis
pea-soup was not hot. 1 have seen
an officer from 90 to rs years of age
made to stand between twosguns, with
O sentry over him, for hours, because
he had neglected to- see and salute the
tyrant who had come on deck IN the
dark" Such tyranny rs by no mean
without o parallel, and, as Hobart
says he saw it, there IS no reason to
doubt the correctness Of the story.
| One more extraordinary is this: ION

FRIDAY, AUGUST G, 1886.
The NEW BAYARlAN KING.

King Otto of Bavaria resides, or
is kept rather, in the chateau of
Furstenried, about one hours ride
from Munich. The castle is wholly
isolated and situated in the heart of
the forest. 1t was convent in the
Thirteenth century and was pur-
chased by King Louis /. The gar
den and park are traversed by a
grand avenue shaded by elms and
surrounded by high wall. The
guards and servants are stationed in
little houses. Patrols of honor are
stationed at the entrance to the
castle since Otto's elevation to the
throne. The King has lucid mo-
ments, and then he devotes himself
mainly to reading the newspapers.
But these moments are of brief
duration. His Majesty smokes
cigarettes necessarily and often
takes promenade. He sometimes
takes notion to visit the Imperial
family of Austria, to which, in his
sane moments, he appears very de-
voted. He spends whole hours in
picking Strawberries and making
them into little pyramids in the
park. An alienist physician in
black coat and white cravat always
walks certain distance behind him,
and he is followed in turns by three
gendarmes.

W0RKlNc-WOMEN IN LONDON.

The number of women earning
their own living, and often assist
ing to keep the family, in London is
increasing every day. Hundreds
are employed in the Postoffice, in
some of the insurance companies as
cashiers and bookkeepers, in trac-
ing engineers plans, in type-writ-
ing, in telephone work and cigarette
making-all employments of compa-
ratively recent date, for it is not so
many years ago since the trial of
female clerks in the clearing house
of the Postoffice was thought Won
derful innovation, and one which
many wise heads predicted much
evil of. There are besides, of course,
the very large number of working
women in the more ordinary sense
the dressmakers, milliners and shop
assistants. Among the latter, per-
haps, it is we'll that we know little
of how they live. One thing is not
half enough known about them, and
that is the large number of girls and
women employed in London at a
rate of payment which is quite in
adequate for them to live upon,
however, careful they may be. They
are generally machinists or dress
makers, or milliners' assistants,
sometimes attendants in second-rate
shops. 1t is common thing for
these women to be paid IS ($2) a
week, or less-they think themselves
well off when they earn 9s ($2.25)
and the work is not constant; be-
cause, when times are bad or the
slack season sets in they are turned
off. They will 60 day after day to
some OF the shops where their work
is known and sit in the waiting
room Oh the chance of an odd hand
being wanted. If these earnings are
only part of the households means
it is well enough; the girls work
pays the rent if it does not always
keep her, and she is not without
food or shelter during the time the
work fails. But it is wholly different
with the young woman who has no
home but that she pays for. If she
is. quiet and respectable she gen.
orally lodges with some fellow
worker older than herself who has
furniture. She pays rs or rs Cd
week for bed in the same room
and for her share of the firing and
light. She buys her own food and
cooks it herself. Six shillings for
seven days is not very much, every
one will allow; but when we show
that the recipient is expected to
dress well-that is, respectfully
and find herself in boots; that in
going out in all weathers her clothes
wear out more quickly, no one need
be surprised that her wages alone
cannot keep her and dress her,

A TOTAL ABSTINENCE COLONY IN
SOUTH AFRICA.

A very interesting experiment in
emigration which owes its origin to
Arnold White, is just now being at
tempted. Eighty Immigrants, all
abstainers, are being sent out to
Kaffraria. Each of the number is
to have 12O acres of land and other
helps, and the little band has been
selected with the greatest care. If
one of the most beautiful and richly
gifted portions of South Africa be
any aid to the success of this en-
terprise, the prospects of the expedi-
ton are virtually assured. Kaffra-
ria is beyond question the most
favored spot in our vast South Afri-
can dependencies. 1t abounds in
wood, grass and water, and is emil
nently adapted for the raising of
stock, as well as agriculture. Fruits
of all kinds florish in its congenial
climate. The previous history of
aided emigration to South Africa,
brief though it is, augurs well for
the success of the present scheme.
In 1920 large number of settlers,
principally Scotch, were dispatched
by Government to Algoa Bay, then
but a sandy and deserted beach.
These settlers quickly spread over
the eastern province of the Cape
colony, and have transformed it
into the most enterprising and most
successful portion of the colony.

Burdette's Fatherly Advice.

Yes, my son, the lamb gambols on
the green, know, and so you weakly
justify yourself when you gamble on
the red. But observe, my son, the
lamb gambols only when it is very
young, when it is an awkward, long
legged. idiotic-looking eternally bla-a-
ting lamb. When it has more sense it
ceases to gambol. And take its whole
life, if it is not butchered to make it
boardcr's holiday in the midst of its
gambols it is shorn about as often rs a
gambols. That's you, my boy. Get
through with it before it gets through
with you. All me, every time look at
the lamb am maddcned by the thought
that he will never be safe until he is too
tough for chops, and wears his horns
in spiral bang that makes him too
callous to be fit playmate for the chill
dren and too unsympathetic to be en-
joyed of the dogs. Oh, that's why
you re living so fast, eh? Because you
want to be old? Well. yes; only you
dom want to do ali your living with
your mouth and stomach. Give your
brains a little chance.-Brooklyn Eagle.

STRANGE FOOD.
What q New York Chef Knows About Dog
Steak and Rat on Toast.

What New York Chef Knows About Dog
Steak and Rat on Toast.
Travellers often come back and tell
US of having eaten and rclished snakes
and other reptiles not appreciated when
placed on the home dinner table. Per-
sons who have been confined within
the walls of besieged cities tell US of
horse flesh and rats as eatables. Won
dering how some of those articles were
prepared, a reporter dropped into the
st. James hotel recently to talk with
John Roth, 1.-The celebrated chef, and
learn from him some of these myster-
les. He was found in his kitchen study
ing deeply the dishes that were being
prepared for that nights dinner.
''Some people eat strange food, don't
they?" asked the scribe.
Indeed they do" said Roth, land I
like to try any new edible myself, some
times. A little while ago had nice
young dog. Somehow or other the dog
broke its leg, and so killed it. 1t was
so nice and fat thought 1 would see
how it would taste cooked, so l pre-
pared the dog like anyone would pre-
pare joint of pork, roasted it, and
served it with the same sort of dressing
one would put with pork, and to a
stranger the joint had all the appear
ance of pork, and it tasted delicious.
1t was very sweet and tender"
"How do the regular dishes in this
country compare with the French
dishes?"
There are many more varieties in
this country than in France, and we
can make a more varied menu here.
Green turtle over there is very ex-
pensive luxury, ana terrapin is very
seldom heard of. Many of the fish
eaten ever here are never seen there,
and then game is more plentiful here.
They have only one kind of wild duck,
and have not the canvas-back or NAL
lard at all. cartridges and quail are
much smaller there than here"
''Did you ever cook any snakes?"
II never did, but have met people
who have told me that some kinds of
snakes are Very good, and why should
they not be? Eels are only snakes, you
know. and they are eaten in all sorts of
styles"
RATS are spoken well of by some
people; did you ever cook them?''
RATS are very nice when they are
young. During the French and Ger
man war, while the Germans were sur
rounding Paris, they were eaten by
the bcsieged in very large quantities.
A good way to prepare them is to skin
them and clean them, then cut them
up and then make fricasee of them
just as you would of a chicken. Horse
flesh is now very popular in France,
and there are regular horse butchers in
Paris. Horse flesh is a little coarse
and strongly favored. 1t is cooked in
the same way that joint of beef is. l
believe there is a law prohibiting the
sale of horse beef. People used to be
disguised at the idea of eating frogs,
but now frogs legs are considered a
great delicacy and are in great demand
everywhere. Y. Mall and Express.

HOMEMADE RUGS.

HSw to Make at Home Articles Which Ran
from the Orient.
With regard to home employments.
l can mention one which l think might
prove remunerative. At the present
time the fashion for mats and rugs
runs high. Rugs are put here, there
and eyerywhere-in drawing-rooms, in
halls, in bedrooms, to say nothing of
the places they have always held at the
entrance of rooms and in front of the
fireplace. The rugs which are pre-emi-
nently in favor are from Eastern lands
Persia, Turkey, India, Palestine; car
pets and rugs from these countries
have just now displayed the produc-
tons of Western countries. A German
firm has introduced plan for initial
ing Oriental rugs, and Smyrna rugs
can now easily be made in English
homes.
The handiwork is accomplished by
knitting short pieces of thick wool
closely together with soft cotton; the
wool and the cotton are specialties in
troduced by Manchester firm. A book
has been issued by them which con-
tains twenty-five colored designs, such
as are seen in the veritable Smyrna
rugs. With one of these before her,
the knitter has no difficulty in prOduc-
ing the propey effect and an Eastern
appearance. There is also book con-
tanning specimens of the different col
Ors of the woods; due regard has here
also been paid to the Eastern class of
dyes, SO that in appearance, in pattern,
in color and general style, and, I am
assured, in durability also, the resem-
blance between rugs brought from afar
and those made at home is close and
unmistakable.
The work is not heavy, as the rug is
made in strips, which are afterward
sewed together. Its manufacture is
rendered easy by all the convenient
provisions made for its execution;
boxes are sold which contain a speci-
men of work, pair of knitting nee
dies, staff by which to measure the
lengths of wool, paper pattern of the
design, a ball of cotton and quantity
of woods the different colOrs required
for that design.-Casselrs Family Mag

SKULLS OF DOGS.

"A Collection In the National Museum
and Learned Lecture Thereon.
: A blcached and ghastly object was
being handled recently by Mr.. Fred
erick A. Lucas, the PSYCHOLOGIST at the
National Museum here He had taken
! it from 4 coflin-like box, and explained
| to two or three persons that it was the
skull of an EsGuimaux sledge dog.
: This skull" said Mr. Lucas, ..bears
! out the stories of the rough treatment
which these dogs receive. See there, :"
pointing to spot over the eye %here
! a portion of the bone had been broken
of, sit took heavy blow to do that;
and look at this leg" continued the
bone man, taking several long bones
; from tie box and deity putting them
: together. ''You see that leg was
broken and was never allowed to heal
perfectly. That dog had to limp along
very painfully after he was injured. See
how this joint was deformed and how
: it must have creaked." he continued.
working one of the bones against the
other like pump-handle, to show the
defect in the joint.
Mr.. Lucas stopped in front of case
wherein were displayed series OF
skulls arranged in a row for compare
son. The labels showed that two
skulls in the upper row beginning on
the right were those of Indian dogs;
next to them was that of an Egyptian.
,mummiiied dog, and then in order the
skulls of Newfoundland. of n COM
mon dog, hairless Chinese dog, a
Laverock setter. Saint Bernard, a
bulldog and an English pug. In an
other row below was series of skulls
of wild dogs-wolves, coyotes and
foxes.
This series will show" said Mr.
Lucas, ..the effect of domestication. the
development of the Uranium under
domestication. The skull of the Indian
dog there, you see, ,iiffers very little
from that of the wolf below it. You
see it has very little forehead and a
very large jaw. AS you go along
now" he continued, '.you find the
facial angle increases. the forehead is
developed at the expense of the jaw,
which becomes shorter. This collection
gives merely an outline. There are
many intermediate steps. Dogs are clas-
sified into mastiffs. hounds, spaniels and
wolf dogs. The wolf dogs. such as
these" continued eir. Lucas, pointing
to the Indian dogs and the Egyptian
dogs, care nearest the original stock.
In fact, it is very difficult sometimes to
distinguish the skull IF a wolf from that
of an Indian dog. Yes, the teeth are
the same. and you will notice all along
the line there is similarity in the
teeth. Wien you reach the pug at the
end, the teeth are crowded and the in
cisors lap over. Then the teeth of the
pug are not SO large or strong. 1t has
been raised on soft food. and has not
