The Rag Doctor of Berlin.

The Berliners are greatly exercised over
the person of an American whom they
contemptuously nickname "the Rag Doc
tor" but whom they envy most cordially.
According to Berlin reports, this individ
ual is neither more nor less than an Amer
lean physician to whom the government
at Washington has intrusted the import
ant charge of overseeing the disinfectiOn
of all the rags exported from Europe (D
to the United States His stamp alone
will allow them 70 land on American soil.
According to the same rumor, he is be-
lieved to receive the round salary of 80, 900
from his government, besides a fee of 65
pfennigs from the exporter of every bale
of rags he inspects, the daily number Of
which is computed at about 4OOl This
and the salary together would give the
rag doctor" an annual income almost
equal to that of the president 1t seems
remarkable that thus far little or nothing
has been heard of anxious competitors for
SO snug a berth.-Foreign Letter.

The Penalty Of Position.

The pictorial treasures of the great Eng
lish houses are accessible to the public,
but once passed through n stately castle
in which l was a stranger, and determined
never to repeat the experience, for the
housekeeper took me into rooms where
the work baskets of the ladic.r still Uttered
the tables; the very books they had been
reading were left Gnclosed, and l saw
their rustling garments leaving by one
door as l entered at another. The thought
that | had driven the family from their
own occupations or amusementS marred
all the pleasure l received. 1t happened
few days afterward that / was invited
to the same house, and l told the ladies
how guilty felt for my intrusion. But
they forgave me
For the high English are very generous
about their works of art, their parks,
their mansions, their historical collec-
tions. Nearly all give them up on one
day of the week u the world. They call
it a "show day;" the house is "show
house" and the annoyance of the eXhibi-
ton must b very considerable. But they
take this as the do the publicity of all
their life, their exposure to observation
and criticism-as the penalty of their posi-
ton. They expect to be conspicuous, to
have their houses examined, their private
history known. Their lineage is set down
in the peerage, and the age of every great
lady is declared in the books for all the
world to read. Not a few recognize that
they have obligations because of their
rank and theiI grandeur. Not only are
they willing that their pictures and
statuary shall be seen, but the poor often
have n day in the week when they may
hold picnics in the park. Even the queen,
with all her love of seclusion, allows
Winds or castle to be inspected when she
is not there and privileged strangers may
visit her private apartments, a stretch Of
good nature which not many democrats
would emulate.-Adam Badeau's Letter.

How Peppermint IL Raised.

Along the banks of Ganargua river,
which flows through the southern portion
of Wayne county, may be seen at this
season Of the year large fields of green
colored plants about eight inches in hight
extending over an extensive area. To a
botanist mentha peperita is the name by
which 1t is known, but to the world in
general 1t is peppermint In this compare
lively small area seven eighthS Of all the
peppermint in the world Is raised. The
low. mucky land, is plowed In the spring.
1t is then laid off in burrows eighteen
inches apart, and sets, portions of old
plants, are planted closely together in the
row. This is done early in April. The
roots are transplanted every other year.
1t takes about eight square rods of roots
as they lie upon the ground to plant an
acre. The roots that are planted this
after the crop is gathered, will be trans
planted In every other row for next years
crop. The first years crop Is always the
best, because the plant is then the freest
from weeds. Usually they are allowed to
run only two years, after which the
ground is plowed under When the plants
have grown to about two and one-half
feet in hight they ripen.
The harvest begins usually in the last
of August. 1t is cut like clover, with .
cradle. and raked into cocks, when it is
allowed to wilt a little before it is taken
to the distillery. The process of distilla-
ton continues to the last Of October The
plant is brought from the fields in large
wagons and tightly packed in steam
tight watts. The steam is let into the bot
tom of the vat, and the oil from the
plants thus volitalized. The oily vapor
and steam pass through condensing
worm into a receiver, where the oil, be-
ing lighter than water, is dipped off and is
then put in tin cans holding twenty
pounds and taken to the refinery, where
it is refined and put into twenty-one ounce
bottles in a case, labeled and shipped to
all parts of the civilized world.-Cor. Buff

Trial by Ordeal in Russia.

A curious survival of ordeal supersti-
ton still prevails to n very large extent in
southern Russia When a theft is COM
mitted in a household tho servants are
summoned together and a sorceress is sent
for. Should no confession be made by the
guilty party the sorceress rolls up as
many little balls of bread as there are
suspected persons present. She then
takes one of these balls, and addressing
the nearest servant, uses this formula:
"If you have committed the theft the ball
will sink to the bottom of the vase, but il
you are innocent il will float on the
water" The accuracy Of this trial, how
is seldom tested, as the guilty person in
variably confesses before his turn arrives
to undergo the ordeal-Cham bers' Jour

Preventing the Escape Of Criminals.

The difficulty of preventing the escape
of criminals has at all times grieved the
friends Of justice, but the most radical So
luton of the problem has probably been
devised in Gazi, a seaport town claimed
by both the Emir of Belang and the sui
tan of Zanzibar. According to q CORES
pondent the municipal authorities, who
enjoy local autonomy, have for years
saved the expense of burglar-proof jails
by hamstringing their malefactors and
teaching them to earn a living by some
sedentary occupation. Besides being use
full, the consequent lameness prevents a
relapse. or at least the flight of a sus-
pected backsl kslider-EXchange.

DIR. Msrell Mackenzie, in his last book,
"The Hygiene of the Vocal Organs" tells
us that the speaking voice usually begins
to lose power and volume at between 50
and GO years of age. There is a curious
corroboration Of DIR. Mackenzie in Mr..
John Bright's collected speeches; for in
the course of his great speech delivered
in the rotunda at Dublin on Nov. ., 1856,
when Mr.. Bright was 55 years old, he
said: Il am very sorry that my voice is
not what it was; and when think Of the
work that is to be done, sometimes feel
it is q pity we grow old SO fast"
