COurtship i'm II assia.

From MOSCOW Letter
Should a boy or man see q girl or woman he
admires, he makes post-haste to an ambassador,
employs him, and marriage negotiations begin. II
is the business Of the ncgotiator to represent TO
the parents and the girl the good qualities OF the
young man; to show his ability, his grace, fne ap-
pearance and business worth to their best advan-
tage He generally pleads his case well Seldom
the personal qualities suit the parents nrst and
the girl lattery, the offer Is accepted II Is then
the business OF the ambassador TO eetch forth the
Young man. They kIs,, nix the date, and partake
OF q betrothal supper, the only persons present
being the family OF the young lady, the young man
and his negctator. NO announcement or the
match is made. Not until the wedding knot is
tied does the glib ambassador get his pay It then
depends upon the station "a The parties 10 the
match the sternness and intricacy OF the case and
the nberality Of the client Sometimes both par
ties make him presents and he fares well. Usually
he profits to about the same extent as the prose-
cutting lawyer In the United States when he gets q
divorce proceeding through.

The Quail.Easing n urnbug.

From the New Orleans Times. Democrat.
A leading New York physician, well-known not
only as an able surgeon, but an advanced scientist
ridcues the idea that 1t is at all difficult for any
one to eat single or more quail FOR any given
number OF days. He says that game OF any kind
may be eaten as a steady diet Just as well ss can
eef or pork. He cites the fact that sailors eat
salt pork-a pouni day for thousand days
and what, he adds, is worse than sailors pork?
During his active connection with the army IL the
West, many years ago, he ate prairie chicken
every day for months, and was glad to get IL, and
subsequently ate sage-hens for long time, and
dill not get sick or become nauseated. He con-
clu1es by saying that the mental disturbance
caused by the fear OF not being able TO eat quail
day for q given time, on wager, Is all that
there is in the prevailing idea In not being able TO
do il.

New Way to Mend Broken fsfbs.
Il,


A young woman physician who practices In
Englewood tells OF queer case In surgery which
she heard OF few weeks ago. or rather a case OF
most unusual surgical treatment for a common In
jury. A young man had suffered a fall from the
cars, and on examination IL was found that two
OF his ribs had been broken. The doctor who was
called to the Casa man doctor, by the way-told
the patients mother to make a big bowl OF mush
aud milk, and TO coax the wound man TO eat as
much OF II as he could possibly hold. THIS was
done, and then the doctor told fhe wondering
mother TO bring him one OF her old corSets, the
largest one she mad. The good woman blushingly
obeyed and stood by with buigiag eyes and
watched the doctor put the corset on his patient
and draw the strings comfort bly, tight. Keep
the boy filled with mush and milk all night II pos
sible," was the Doctors Injunction, as he packed
up his traps to. go away; land be sure that the
corset-strlngs don't get any looser than they are
now. III come again In the morning" The next
day the ingenious medical man declared that the
broken ribs would soon be knitted well together
again, and that they were growing as nice and
straight as you please. 1.-THE mush and milk on
the inside and the corset on the outside Is what
did the business" he said.

THE COLUMBUS POsr.OFFIcE.
Charges that ID Ii BADLY Managed and
n Reform Demanded.

Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
COLUMBUs, OHIO, Jan. 4.-The incompetent and
bad management OF the Columbus post-office,
that has been well known here for more than q
year past, has attracted the attention OF the press
In different parts OF the state There is demand
made for a most thorough overhauling Of
the Office and the dismissal Of the oflc1als now In
charge. To-day all the Cincinnati newspapers
make a vigorous demand for a change and in
vestigation. The governors message was posted
In this city on sunday afternoon at O'Clock and
special delivery stamps attached to insure prompt
delivery. The Cincinnati papers did not receive
the message until O'Clock Tuesday morning. The
stamp marks show that each package was mailed
at p. IN. j ,nuary i, and received in Cincinnati
a. m. January g. This carelessness completely
demoralizes the newspapers and after midnight
Monday night the telegraph could not handle the
Iu text OF the message To citizens Of Columbus the
failure OF the Cincinnati papers to receive their
mail excites no surprise or comment, as thousands
OF instances OF similar service could be reported
during the past year.

Had a Right 10 Advertise.
THE REvOKISG OF A PHYSICIANS CERTIFICATE DE


CLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Several months ago a certain doctor went to
Chicago and began the practice of medicine. He
advertised extensively the cure OF a special class
Of diseases, when the state board OF health inter-
fered and revoked the doctors certificate. He
then began an action against the state board in
the Circuit Court. Tuesday Judge Waterman de-
cded the case and declared the action OF the state
board OF health unconstitutional He said: 1.-THE
right OF party charged with O punishable Of
tense TO notice Of hearing is elementary, and one
OF the nrSt rules necessary TO the administration
OF justice. The defendant had perfect constitu-
t!onal right TO advertise In the newspapers, and
he cannot be deprived OF II by any rule or regu-
lation or the state board OF health This assOcia-
ton, II its action was TO be held legal In this case
could summary try and punish for an alleged Of
tense brother practitioner without any notice
whatever. Such a proceeding partakes OF the ma
ture OF the star chamber, whose DEGREES led to a
revolution and the death OF King OF England on
the scaffold. Such an institution as the state
board OF health must not be tolerated 10 exercise
such power In free country, and its acts must
In this case be declared UNCONSTITUTIONAL"

Quininc and the Opium Habit.

tics and tonics, especially In low-lying and mala-
rial districts where people are addicted to the use
OF opium order to relieve the fever depression.
The prevalence OF the opium-craving in many
parts Of tie world is due, says Mr.. Ferguson, to
the people being subject to q low type OF fever.
This is largely the case In China. In England 1t
has been shown that the consumption Of opium,
chiefly In the form OF laudanum, is very large In
The fen districts and nlong the lower banks Of the
Thames especially about Gravesend. A Lincolnshire
village druggist stated some years ago In letter
published in the newspapers. that he sold about
two gallons OF laudanum per month retail, besides
sixteen or twenty ounces OF opium Itself. mostly
to women or the poorer classes, VINO must pinch
themselves seriously in many ways to purchase
the luxury. Many, he said, consume An ounce OF
opium week, some considerably more. The main
cause OF this craving, according to Mr. Ferguson.
is that the people live In low and malartal local.

craving andactS as a substitute for laudanum.
