A Young Doctors Dread.

In conversation with doctor he
said to me: do you wish to know
the greatest source Of worriment to .
young practitioner 1t is that he will
be called to save poisoned person.
There are SO many sorts Of poison. the
symptoms are so intricate, and the an
t.dotes so varied, that it is almost i'm
possible to keep them in ones head by
merely theoretical learning. Actual
experience impresses knowledge on q
doctor, and an old man has accumu-
lated stock in that way, but the
youngsters don't have it within sudden
reach. In the ordinary routine of
practice we can delay treatment long
enough to look into a textbook or to
consult with some kind old chap In the
profession; but when we are hastily
summoned to the side of patient with
poison in his stomach, the nature Of
which can only be determined by symp-
toms, and whose life can ouly be saved
by quick dosing with the right drug.
the responsibility is something fright.
full. What do doP ! carry in IN in
ner pocket thin book containing o
summary Of poisons, symptoms and
ant dotcs. That is common practice
with young doctors. and few old
ones, too" The liability to summons
as witness in court after attending to
poisoning case makes physicians I'D.
ditionally alert and anxious. That
lends terror to the risk of mistakes,
and the remark of my friend was
doubtless sincere: I'D rather hire o
substitute at five times the fec am 60
ing 10 get every time I'm called to Q
poisoned patient ~ Utica Observer.

+" Mother Goose"

All may not know that Mother Goose
was a real person. But 1t Is said she
was born in Charlestown, Mass, in
1000, and married wioower by the
name of Goose, who had ten children.
Six other goslings were added to the
flock, and one Of these married Thomas
Fleet, n printer by trade. In course Of
time Grandmother Goose went to live
with this son-in-law, and from morning
till night she made up the now familiar
rhymes and sang to his children, much
to their delight. but to the annoyance
of everybody else. Finally Mr.. Fleet
conceived the idea Of printing her dit
ties. and the book was issued IN 17l9,
with this title. Mother Goosc's Melodies
and Rhymes for the Nursery. So the
annoyance to the old lady's grown-up
friends has turned out to be Joy to
thousands Of children for more than =
century and half. - Conqregofionoiist.
