INDUSTRIAL CAREERS.
Let the Young Man, Above All, Consult
His Natural Bent.
From the Boston Herald.

| From the Boston Herald
The professions to-day are, indeed, over-crowd-
ed, and many of our young men are turning their
backs upon them for an industrial career. A
gentleman prominently connected with the In
stitute of Technology said: There is a general
belief that young man who enters this or a
similar school in preference to receiving class
lcal education, sacrifices, for the sake of prac-
tical knowledge, mental culture and develop
ment which he could only get through a CLASH
cal education. Now, in my mind, this is not at
all SO. 1 would send my child to an industrial
school in preference to Harvard or Yale, if my
sole object was that he should simply get the
best possible mental training, irrespective of
FNny use he might ever make of it. The fact is,
an industrial education calls out the powers quite
as much as any other kind of education. I do
not wish, since l have no incentive in the first
| place. and it would ill become me in the sec
ond to give any opinion to the desirability
! of a classical as compared with an industrial
| education. any more than have already given
| by saying that an industrial education gives as
high degree of mental discipline as can be
/ got anywhere. mean to say that it is not my
place to declare that young man will stand
better chance Of getting good living if he
leads an industrial career than he will If he
enters one of the learned professions. As
an attache of an industrial school, this would
be unbecoming in me, even if l felt qualified
to pass judgment upon this point, which do
not since it is not my place to keep posted on
the demand for young men in either of these
two branches.
IF were thinking of studying law would
not go to lawyer for advice, but to some man
with broad range of view, who could give me
unbiased and dispassionate advice, and for the
same reason l would recommend you, for in
formation regarding the success of our stu
dents, to the downtown engineers, architects,
electricians, &C., men who see more Of the
field than do, and who can speak more freely
than would be becoming in me, upon subjects
to which l have devoted my life. The main
| thing for young man deciding upon his ca
reer is to be careful and choose something for
which he has an aptitude. / would rather
son of mine would receive given amount of
education on the line of his tastes than that he
| should have five times the amount applied to a
| faculty which is almost dormant within him.
The thing for the young man to do is to de-
velop himself along the line of least resist
ance, as we say scientifically, and that is along
the line Of his tastes. II this be done his
| work will not be irksome to him. and work
which is irksome is seldom well DONE 1t will
be, rather, delight, and will cause him to fol-
low his pursuit with a persistency which will
| guarantee success"

Clean Hands,

According to the fearful experiments of Dr.
Foster, of the Italian Medical Gazefte there is
no such thing as the possibility of clean hands
on anybody. Washed with soap and with car
bolic acid, with any and all the disinfectants in
common use our hands will still remain scien-
tifcally unclean; that is to say, that prepare
ton called sterilized gelatine destitute Of liv-
ing organisms, on being touched by the fingers
thus washed and supposed to be clean, imme-
diately develops living organisms acquired
from the fingers. But if the hands are washed
in dilute solution of bichloride of mercury
or corrosive sublimate, one part to one thou
sand parts of water, perfect cleanliness is at
tanned, and no living organism will be developed
by the touch Of the fingers. 1t is pitiful to
think that we are really so palpably made of
the dust of the earth; but it seems that we
must endure it, since corrosive sublimate can
hardly be made the adjunct of our daily toilets,
and if it were, then the next time we shook
hands, or took up a book, or went into the
street we should but develop fresh crop of
heterogeneous. The fact is that these dis
coveries of science show us, if they do nothing
else, how fearfully and wonderfully we are
made, and if we regarded them seriously there
is nothing we could eat and nothing we could
do which would not make death seem to hang
imminent in the air. There is one refuge for
the unscientific, and that is in whistling the
whole matter down the wind, keeping clean to
the best of belief, and thus taking care of one 3
self, letting the heterogeneous take care Of
themselves.

Many people believe that diamond can be

but wouldn't advise them to try the expert

had passed through the great fire at Chicago
They were covered with white film and looked
like pieces of alum. After passing through the

as new, but still fancied that there was a GER
tain loss of luster and feel sure that second
heating would have made this still more plainly
perceptible. How high a heat will rubies and

was obliged To be very careful in heating
and in letting the stones cool, as any sudden
variation in temperature will split them in a
moment. Topaz have destroyed entirely by
heat, and rubies are also easily ruined by high
temperature. Heated white hot and plunged
into water any of the latter stones will split
into thousand fragments; so be careful if you
make any experiments. Pearls should not be
heated either, as the result will resemble oyster
shells more than anything else.

Kamschatkan Sledge Dogs.

From Forest ana Strealns
Kamschatkan dogs are probably the most
sagacious of all feral types, and are employed
and trainedin the most careful manner for the
multitudinous services required of them.
Soon after birth they are placed with their
dam in deep pit, that they may see neither
man nor beast, and after having been weaned
are condemned to solitary confinement for six
months, at the end of which time they are put
to a sledge with other dogs, and being ex-
tremely shy and frightened withal, they run
as fast as they can until they become blown
and cowed. After this trial trip they are re-
manded to their pit where they remain, off and
on, until they are thoroughly tired and sledge-
broken. The severe education sours their
temper amazingly and makes them anything
but companionable. Drivers are frequently
obliged to stun them by blow on the nose be-
fore embarrassing them on account of their
savage nature. Besides drawing sledges they
tow boats up rivers in summer and keep their
masters warm in winter nights. They are re-
markable weather prophets, and discount the
Signal Service Bureau, for if, when resting on
journey they dig holes in the snow, there is
certain to be a storm. They are Of husky type,
shaggy, with erect curling bushy tails and not
very sharp noses and ears. They live exclusively
on fish, which they catch for themselves. In
winter their ration comprises forty frozen her
rings per day.

Physicians Fees,

'There are very few big fees made by physi-
clans, unless to those of great reputa ton, :"
said prominent doctor of the regular school
to New York Graphic reporter "Now, in
New York, DR.. Fordyce Barker gets 900 a
year from Mrs. Aston, and there are several
other physicians who get equally large fees
from single individuals. In Chicago there are
only about half a dozen doctors who make
more than $50 900 annually, and this money is
for this, except that Chicago has not outgrown
Its rural ways. The New York doctors are not
more learned than members of the craft in
Chicago, but they get the money just the same.
There is reason in claim of larger fees in our
day and age: No physician can now hope for
honorable distinction without having passed
through long course of training, which is
always growing more expensive. A student
has postgraduate experience that is very try
ing. He must have hospital training as an
inferno, and ought also to visit Europe to COM
plete his education.
'Oh, yes, he has to pass through his starva-
ton year, like all the rest of us. 1t is well
enough to speak OF q young medical students
trials in facetious way, but there is nothing
funny about it. The young lawyer can live in
porous member of the profession. His life is
barren of interest while he is passing through
his novitiate, but cannot be compared with the
poverty of a struggling young doctor. The
medical man must have an Office Of his own
where he can receive his patients. and he must
be alone. The lawyer can have a private con-
versation with his first client on a street
corner, but the doctor must have a place he
calls his Office. There have been rapid strides
In medicine during the last five years, and
more is demanded of the student with each
new discovery"
do physicians receive a percentage from
druggists on their prescriptions?'
THAT practice has been virtually done away
with, although it does exist in remote parts Of
the city. A physician sends his prescriptions
to certain drug store, but gets no percentage
on the sale Of medicine. The druggist usually
acknowledges the compliment and often sends
the doctor patient. In the outskirts of the
city where physicians are called upon to attend
poor people, they often share with the druggist,
which is the only fee they get. Another in
stance where the druggist divides with the
doctor is where some misery patient who is
abundantly able to pay the fee, pleads extreme
poverty. Then the doctor rises to the occa-
sion, and in writing the prescription inserts a
cryptogram that is understood by the druggist,
and the miser pays his doctor bill without
knowing it."
