Tho Free Medical Dispensary.

The free dispensary system is, nine parts
oct of ten, an unmitigated nuisance. 1t Is
degrading to every patron who resorts
thither to avoid payment of reasonable fees,
and it is downright robbery of those mem
hers Of the profession who are compelled to
begin practice in the poorer quarters and the
sparsely settled districts Of great city. The
patient who resorts to free dispensary, at
tracted by the name Of some prominent ply
slcian or surgeon, learns too late that the
great man" is seldom seen in the clinic
room, that he never comes except to use this
clinical material" as illustrations of his lect-
ures and that the bulk Of the practice is left
to the experimentation of students not yet
physicians, or to the care of men just out of
school who happen TO have secured the favor
of tho great man" II the worthless char
acter of the medical attendance at some of
these places were generally known there
would be fewer patients taking such risks,
and self respect would be preserved, where
now, in many instances, the first step toward
the aEnshouse is taken by patronizing a free

cines which more than cover the value Of
any real service that may be received from

A RaIl at DeImonico's.

You must understand that tho balls given
by 'soclety people" at Delmonicos are by 70
means public It is true that 700 persons
were gathered this time, but the semblances
Of a private mansion were carefully main
tanned. The smaller rooms were furnished
like parlors, and tho decorations of the en-
tire big building from which ordinary Gus
toners were excluded at midnight, even the
bar room being sacred to the nights occu-
pancy) were such as might reasonably have
been seen in Vanderbilt or an Astor resi-
dence.
Two monkeyish pages in livery met you at
the portal and conducted you to the dressing
room. Then, after you had laid aside your
wraps third midget turnkey showed you
the way to an anteroom, into the presence of
being before whom you instinctively felt
like bowling down in humble reverence. He
was six feet high by about three feet wide,
and his coverings were many hues of velvet
and silk This was the genuine London
butler. Nothing SO fine had ever been
brought to town since Anglomania began
The page took you up close enough to his
awful form to permit you to realize what a
pigmy you were, physically, to him; and as
to mental giantry, his majestic bearing and
OdSS VOICE were eEblerCe.
What is the name?" he' asked "Mary
Jane Smith," you replied, trying to hide
your fright. Then he escorted you to the
further end Of the room, where stood three
dignified nlatrons, Mrs. Adrian Iselin, Mrs
W. Bayard Cutting and Mrs. B. K. Stevens.
These were the acting hostesses, in further
ance of the home idea of the ball
''Miss Mary Jane Smith and Mr.. John
Henry Jones" roared the butler.
You and your companion bowed to the
three in row natrons, who returned your
salutation-and thus you were received"
The ceremony meant that you were members
of good society" accepted as such at this
beautiful ball. That is to say, you were
accredited as ono Of the tip top 700 New

GIRLS EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
1Iie Varied Influences Which Increase Tn.

due Sensibility-Family Discipline.
1t is precisely in that natural aptitude for
emotion, in that type Of mind which is ex-
quisitely sensitive TO impressions and gen.
erously swayed by sympathetic feeling, that
one OF the great dangers to the perfection of
womanhood, physical and mental, may be
said to reside. Many and varied influences
tend to increase this emotional excitability
until it often becomes fixed habit of mind;
an undue sensibility of the supreme centers
to emotional ideas is created, which can only
be maintained at the expense of sound health
of body and of mind First among these are
certain home influences that are brought to
bear upon little girl from her earliest child
hood. which foster in her Self-consciousness
and introspection.
She is generally permitted narrower limits,
within which she can play, can dress, can
succeed, than are allowed to her brother,
even when her physique is equally able She
is housed more closely, her out of door sports
are fewer and less interesting, and her dress
is too often a limitation to her freedom.
Such restrictions of her liberty, and constant
reference to the fact that her sex denies her
this or that employment or pleasure, tend to
make child elf-conscious and emotionally

tai commotion and unrest harmful 70 chill
dren who require an even atmosphere for
the mind as well as for the body. There are
often undue claims made upon little children
for the demonstration of their affections, and
this is especially true Of girls.
In a paper on Emotional Productivity
Among Children, read before a dental So
ciety some years ago by DR.. c. F. Taylor it
was argued that stimulation Of the emotions
among children conduced not only to dis
eases of the spine, but elso to dental carries.
DR.. Taylor says: "In my large practice
among children, am certain that scores are
literally killed by the excessive amount of
emotional excitement which they are forced
to endure All this hugging and kissing and
talking to them is to excite responses of the
same emotional nature in the child for the
pleasure and qualification Of the parents and
friends" And again he says: II believe that
three-ffths of the spinal diseases which oc-
cur in children are directly traceable to men
tai overaction. And this because large
proportion Of these cases get well without
other treatment than withdrawal from the
exciting cause of emotional disturbances

Fond glance and touch and speech, quick blood

And Beauty's thrall and strange bewilderings

The rose thorn gives; and then the utter gain,
Worth all my sorest striving to attain,
OF the dear bliss long sought possession brings

Big Schooner.

The Jackson and Sharp Company have
contracted with Captain Amos Birdsell, of
Toms River, N. J., for the building of a new
schooner. which will be the largest wooden
vessel ever built in this state. Her dimen-
sions will be 2I2 feet long over all, 10 feet
width of beam and u feet depth of hold.
She will haye a carrying capacity of 1900
tons. Her masts, four in number, will be os
feet long, 2S inches diameter at the deck and
26 inches at the head. They will be of Ore
gon pine, brought arouud Cape Horn in
ships. It will require 100000 feet Of timber
to build this schooner. She will be ten feet
longer and will carry 500 tons more cargo
than the largest vessel ever built by this
firm. The modsl is being prepared and the
vessel will be built on the stocks now Occur
pied by the big four-master building for
Captain Longstreet, which will be launched
this month.

OUR streets and cutters, (and it is
with mixed feelings of shame and iu-
dignation that we speak of them), are
in the worst condition they have been
in for many years past. At the Pres
byterian church the stone guttering
has been loose and out of place since
last spring, and it is now dangerous
TO the limbs of horses. Then the loose
stones have obstructed the flow of wa
ter in that gutter until it now runs in
a torrent during rain storms, to the
north side of front street and finds vent
into the MIspillion via Walnut street.
This causes the inlets there to overflow,
which floats off the culyert covers at
the Dorsey House, and last week al
most flooded the Dorsey House block
of stores. Nearly every gutter is clog
ged with sand, and the road and street
centers, both North and South, are
water courses. To particularize would
be tedious and only a repetition ofwhat
everybody with eyes to see can note
for themselves. Taxes are raised to
keep streets in repair and the work
should be done. If the amount is in
sufficient more should be raised, and
have someone whose duty it should be
to attend to the work. We have one
of the best street lighting systems in
use we have an efficient chief of
police; now let us have the streets put
in thorough repair for the winter,

MILTON.

For the past several days the evaporators
have been running Oh short time. The
peaches are smaller. fewer, and ofa more in
ferior quality than heretofore and the pack
this year will not be as large as formerly.
Such, however as it has been. has conferred
blessing on the laboring portion of the
community.
! Basiness in town is beginning to brighten.
Captain VIM NJ Iank, a few days ago,
closed a contract with c. c. Davidson, for
building a schooner of the following dimen-
sions I5of. keel; 80 #, beam and J. 3 #. hole.
She will carry four masts and is six feet
longer than any vessel ever built at this
place, the present barge excepted. She will
be owned by Philadelphia parties to the
great discredit of the moneyed people of Mil
ton who are always glad when contract Of
this kind is secured in the town, but who do
not propose to put their money into any
thing where they cannot reap all the profits.
Captain Iank deserves great credit from the
mechanics Of Milton for bringing this con-
tract to town, as he could to better advan
tage to himself and more convenience TO the
owners have carried st to another point but
his love for his own native heath and its iu-
habitants, we presume, have decided him to
bring it here, where it is needed, Now let
US see how many will thank him for it.
Schooners E. c. IRWIN and James Ponder
will be brought here during the coming
winter for general repairs. With the above
mentioned business, which will naturally
engender more, we must consider the future
of Milton as bright.
It is thought the barge at present upon the
stocks will be launched about the last of Oc-
tober when the keel of Captain I,ank S YES
sci will be laid.
The new building of William Coulter in
North Milton is about completed, and that
of William Starkey, in South Milton, is en-
closed and ready for the plasterer.
Pine piling continues to arrive in quanti-
ties notwithstanding the rainy weather, as
Ricards, of Greenwood, loses no time. The
only complaint of the people is, the teams
cut the cutters badly in turning the corners
of the streets, the piling being long and
heavy.

she is under obligation, and that ari-
