One New Doctors Fees.

Blakely Hall, in his sketches of "Life
in New York City," published by the
Brooklyn Eagle, has the following about
DR.. William Fl. Hammond, the noted
physician, whose speciality is the treat
ment of nervous di,eases
"Every little while" DR. Hammond
said few days ago, 81 pick up a paper
in which there are some illusions to my
throne and the piles of $50 bills and
double eagles which lie upon my desk. l
am pictured sitting upon chair of regal
81 and finish, glancing sternly at the
covering patients who creep in timidly,
place $40 upol my desk like culprits and
humbly hurry out again All of which
is the result of newspaper story many
years old, which still drifts about the
public press. live down this street,
come with me and I'll show you the
throne, the money"
The throne" proved to be a high,
straight backed woodel chair, such as is
familiar in church furniture the world
over. On one corner of the desk there
was pile of bills, but there were more
tens than twelties.
All physicians VINO nave Speclal prac-
tice," DR.. Ha nmond said, "adopt this
method of payment. Patients come to
me from everywhere and never know
who they are CT where they come from
when they walk into my office. The fee
is twenty for the rst and ten for the
succeeding visits, which is somewhat diff
ferent from the regular $50 fee am ac-
cused of charging every time a patient
calls to see me on my throne"
The incomes of some of our leading
physicians are very large. There are a
dozen of them who make from thirty to
forty thousand dollars year. But on
the other hand there are a great many
thousand of their younger professional
brethren who are struggling hard to make
both ends meet.

In addition to the usual trotting and
running races, arrangements have been
made for various sports, including bal

When to Plant Currants.

The autumn of the year, then,
about November, is the best time
for planting out young currant and
gooscberry trees; and III the most
they should not be more than three
years from the cutting, or, if older
than this at the time of planting,
they should be cut back IA little to
strengthen the growth of the new
wood. But, to be more in order, it
is perhaps of the cutting them
selves that we should first speak.
In the wane of the year choose
some good straight young shoots,
healthy and well grown, of about Il
foot in length or a little over; and
from the part that you are about to
insert below the surface of the soil
cut carefully out all the eyes and
buds, as this will afterwards serve
to prevent suckers growing up and
detracting from the strength of
your young trees. AS for the soil,
the ordinary kitchen garden soil
that is uniformly trenched and
MANFRED will do admirably well for
your young cuttings. Take care to
plant them firmly in, but not i'll Il
too sunny situation. BY the end
of the following summer they will
have sent out some two or three
good shoots. BY the end of the
first year, that is to say about Nov
ember, prune the young shoots
slightly back, and in two years
time you will have IA fairly respect
able little shrub. DO not, however,
eventually retain more than four or
:fveshoots on the tree. Two years
growth you can remove your young
trees to the spot you have selected
for their final destination, though
they can stand where the cuttings
were put in for three years, if nee
essary; or indeed it is well to plant
them at the outset in the spot you
intend them to remain finally ill.,

partment of agriculture and allied inter.

HARVESTING BEANS.
How 20 stack this Important Crop to Best
Advantage.

How 20 stack this Important Crop to Best
Advantage.
No other crop grown requires more
care in the harvesting than beans. This
is on account of the great deterioration
in value by loss of color and staining by
rain and subsequent rotting of the pods
on the wet ground. This unfavorable
result more frequently happens with
beans grown as catch crop with corn
upon principle most Objectionable
practice in every way-because OF the
difficulty of drying them, to say moth
ing of the extra labor in harvesting
them. Beans are pulled and not cut,
the roots having but little hold on the
ground, and the only machine ever
adapted to the harvesting of beans, as
we believe, was made for pulling them
up by the roots and shaking the soil
from them. very much in the manner
done by hand.
When the beans are ripe they should
be gathered at once and stacked safely
out of danger from rain. Ii exposed
to rain they swell and dry and become
cracked or turn yellow and become up
merchantable. Perfectly white beans
may be left on the ground as they are
pulled, throwing two rows on each side
together, thus having four rows in one
long heap across the field, and as soon
as possible they should be removed to
stage above the barn floor, or to q
dry. airy upper floor of a well venti-
lated shed and stored until they are
thrashed Otherwise it is safe to stack
| them in the field.
The stacking is done around stout
stake driven firmly into the ground be-
tween two rows on each side of the
beans as they have been gathered as
above mentioned. The beans are laid
crosswise around the stake on four
sides. the pods being placed outside al
the corners and the roots together. a
here shown:
