Tho Tricks of Young Doctors.

"Some Of the devices resorted 10 by
young disciples of Eseulapius to give
the public high estimation Of the vol
ume and responsibility of their practice
are amusing to those persons who are
aware of the real number Of calls they
have to make" This remark was made
by gentleman who is q close observ-
er, and who has frequent reason to call
at the offices of numerous physicians.
Tell me some Of them"
We'll, there is one that is particu-
larly noticeable, and when tell it to
you keep your eyes open and see If |
am not correct. Most all physicians
have a slate. One of the first things a
young physician does is to get slate.
He persuades himself he cannot get
along without one, SO he gets one, gem
orally a large one. Some Of them
grow discouraged at the paucity Of the
messages and fill their own slate, which
generally hangs at the front door, with
Imaginary calls for the doctor to
please come and hurry TO see one Of
his imaginary patients. Others will
not go thus far, but will allow every
call to remain there until the slate is
finally pretty well filed with genuine
calls, but some of them ancient. ~

A Great DrinkeP.

1t is a general idea that the nations
of the East are singularly temperate as
compared with those of the West.
This is not exactly so, as many travel
ers well know. A native historian
thus describes little wine party that
was given by great Eastern Emperor
of the sixteenth century:
The Amir said to the Abd-u-Razzak;
Shall we dlink little wine?' Ac-
cordingly much wine was brought into
the garden. and fifty goblets placed
in the middle of n small tent. The
Amir said: Let us drink fair measure
and fill the cups evenly, in order that
there may be no unfairness.' They be-
gan to get jolly. Bull Haesan drank
five goblets; his head was affected al
the sixth; he lost his senses at the sew
enth, when the servants carried him
off. Bu-ala, the physician, dropped
his head at the fifth cup and was car
ried off. Khalil Daud drank 10, julia
9, and both were borne away. Bu-
Main drank II and ran off; when the
Khwaja had drank u cups he made
his obeisance and said to the Amir, II
you give your slave any more he viii
lose his respect TO your Majesty as well
as his own wits The Amir laughed
and went on drinking. He drank q
gobletS; he then rose and called for a
basin Of water and his praying-carpet,
washed his face, and recited the mid
day prayers as well as the afternoon
ones, and he so acquitted himself that
you would not have thought that be
had drunk a single cup; he then re-
turned to the palace on an elephant. =

A Letter from Oregon.

PORTLAND, OREGON, May II, 1888.
My residence of few months in
Portland has been one of constant de-
light and surprise. Coming, as | did,
from the regions of midwinter into the
balmy air of spring, almost at a bound,
as it were, | was so forcibly reminded
of the contrast between the Pacific
coast and the entire region from the
Rocky mountains to the Atlantic, that
| am not likely ever to forget it. For
weeks, even months, reveed in delight
full spring weather, and with the tele
graph daily informing me of cold bliz-
yards, of snow and ice, in my former
home, l watched the opening of bud
and flower, saw the fruit trees burst
into their bloom of white and red,
and heard the cheerful voices of early
summer birds, as they hoped from
branch to branch of the profusion of
shade trees which line the streets of
this beautiful city. Already (the second
week in May) spring is past and sum-
mer is upon us. The lillacs have long
since disappeared, and the beautiful
snowbalis, whose masses of white have
appeared to my eyes for admiration
from hundreds of well-kept lawns, have
given way to roses, And such roses!
The yards of the rich and poor alike
are mass of bloom; carnation, yellow,
pink, cardinal, flesh, saffron and all
the glorious hues assumed by that
queen of flowers, greet me at every
turn. The love of flowers, evidenced
BY their profusion and the attention
given them, speaks of culture and refine
ment, and in my most pleasant inter
course with the people of Portland
ave found them all that their beautiful
yards has led me to believe. | assure
you, it was novel experience for me
to see lawn mowers in active operation

pride and one of the chief glories o
