"Oh," was the response, N want to
find out whom the doctors select to at
tend them; that man shall be my physi-
cian."
But shun the man who habitually
speaks i'll of his professional brethren; he
is not a generous man, probably not a
just one. Shun also the man who has n
sure cure for every i'll, and is always ready
to promise that he can help you; who
boasts of his wonderful cures, and never
OWES n failure; who is always talking
about his cures, and telling what a heavy
business he does. His stock in trade il
bluff and brag. And shun the positive
man, who has a ready answer to every
question, who can tell exactly what the
matter is, how it was caused, and what
the result will be. He knows too much
to be honest. Medicine is not a positive
science, and where there are so many ele-

1.-THE coin collecting craze begins in
curious ways said B. III. Collins, of the
treasury department. The foremost col,
lector of the United States, who died re-
Gently, became a collector through an
accidental desire to possess a big cent of
the year of his birth, 1899. His collection
WAS sole after his death at auction. 1t
brought $40, 600, and it would today real
ize double that sum. The cost of rare
coins increases year by year, and the in
crease in values during the past five years
has been over 200 per cent. Coins must
not only be rare, but they must be in good
condition, and the best are hRrd to obtain.
A perfect coin of some dates are as rare
as a Maud s., a ~peachblow vase or a Koh-
moor diamond"
"What are the leading s~pecialties of tho
United States collectorsi"
"Three-fourth of the collectors of this
country collect United States and colonial
coins, and the others collect miscellaneous
coins, ancient and modern, foreign and
United States. Some collect only certain
series, some only gold coins, some silver
and some only copper. My speciality is
copper cents. Its coins are the rarest to
be found in perfect condition, and the val
ues of copper coins are more certain. 1t
is very hard to find fine specimens. The
cents and half cents have circulated to
such IN extent that they have become
worn, ~disflgured, black and smooth, and
rare cents in good condition are thus very
costly.-Washington Cor. New York

Tho London Police Force.

The London police force, like all the in
stitutions of that vast metropolis, is ar
ranged upon a gigantic plan. The super
i~ntendents, inspectors, sergeants and
constables make up an army 10, 800 strong
"a truly formidable force, but none too
large when it is considered that the me-
tropolitan police district extends over a
radius Of fifteen miles from Charing
Cross, exclusive of the city Of London and
its liberties, and embraces an area of 699
square miles, of a ratable value of $685.
800, 900 per year. Over such an area as
this, including as it does a population of
$500, 900 persons, there is of course a vast
amount Of work to be done; and it must
be borne In mind hat the duties of the
London police are not limited to tho
taking into custody Of criminals
and disordenly persons and the
watching of property, but include
such duties as the carrying out of the
smoke abatement acts, the inspection Of
common lodging houses, regulation of
street traffic, and at certain times the
onerous duty of taking up stray dogs-sn
of which duties are anything but light in
a town like London; nor are they likely
to become less arduous, seeing that dur
ing the year 1886 10, 252 new houses were
built within the police district, making
twenty-nine miles of new streets .-Cham-

Prudence May Be overdone.

I have always thought prudence was
rather of an over rated virtue. The soul
that is always poking about for a safe
path is like a blind man feeling his way
with a cane. The man who is always
looking for a soft place to fall on before
he leaps, is like a bird that never tries its
wings for fear of a tumble. He misses
the exhilaration of the upper air, the rush
ing wind and the unobstructed sunshine.
The narrow little one idea pessimist who
is afraid to commit himself to fresh and
untried opportunities, is like the
greenhorn in the Nineteenth century
who is too timid to ride In a steam car,
but is content to plod forever in the high
way dust. It's not worth while to be
always on the alert for mishaps. The
Lord has given us eyes and brains, and a
modicum of common sense; let us use
these faculties to keep ourselves growing
and advancing, without constantly stop
ping to think of miscalculations. Time
enough when the wreck befalls us to man
the lifeboats. He who attempts to sail
forever on a raft will make slow progress.
1 would rather take my chances for an
occasional smashup in a fast express than
ride up to London in a wheelbarrow.-

The Bohemian Dvorak relates in an au-
tobiographical sketch that in his country
every child must study music. 1.-The law
enacting this is old; it was once repealed,
but is in force again. Herein 1 consider
lies one great secret of the natural talent
for music in my country. Our national
tunes and chorals came, rs it were, from
the very heart of the people, and beautiful
things they were. l intend some day
writing an o~ratorio into which l shall
introduce some of these chorals. The
Slavs all love music. They may work all
day in the fields, but they aro always sing
ing, and the true musical spirit burns
bright within them, low they owe the
dance, tool On Sunday, when church is
over, they begin their music and dancing,
and often keep 1t up without cessation till
early In the following morning. Each
village has its band of eight or ten
musicians Home journal.

The first merino sheep that ever left
the shores of Spain for the United States,
or for any other foreign port, came from
there to Boston in 1896. For hundreds
of years the Spanish government had pro-
hibited the expectation of merinos under
heavy penalties, as it knew the great
value of that product of its mountains,
and did not intend to share its benefits
and profits with any other country, and
thus the sheep had remained confined to
those mountains, the MY of the world.
The law was still in force in 1896, but the
Hon. William Porter, of Massachusetts,
was in Spain in that year, and by some
means managed to obtain three merinos,
which he brought safely home. Strange
and u-naccountable as it may seem, these
three valuable sheep, the first to leave
their native hills, and to obtain which
many governments would nav paid al
most any price, fell into the possession of
n man who appreciated the ownership SO
lightly that he slaughtered them, and sold
their mutton at the regular market price.
That man was Andrew Craigie, of Cam
bridge. He knew what he had lone in
after years, when, to obtain a merino ram
for breeding purposes, he paid the sum of
81, 900 cash.
In 1902 Col. David Humphreys was
United States minister to Spain. He was
extremely popular at the Spanish court.
In that year he relinquished his office and
returned home. The Spanish government
rendered him a valuable gift in gold. Col.
Humphreys declined it, but said there was
something he would highly prize. He
was asked to name it. He replied: Zone
hundred merino sheep" The request
was unexpected. The law stood in the
way of its being granted. The govern
e got over the difficulty in some way,
and 100 sheep were among the cargo of
the vessel that landed the ex-minister in
Boston. Seventy of them survived the
passage, and from that original stock,
which were placed on the Humphreys
farm at Derby, Conn, the present royal
breed of Vermont merinos sprang.-New
York Sun Interview.

are reproduced in this country
directly from Photographic plates, and so
cheaply as to sell for one half the price of
reprints by the usual type methods-the
Encyclopedia Britannica, of which seven
teen volumes have been issued, being the
most important work thus far photo
graphically reproduced. BY chanc it was
discovered that the gelatine plate, from
which the electrotype is made in this pro-
cess, could be printed from directly, Civ
ing n larger number of good copies than
the hardest electrotype. The New York
Evening Post now say the most recent
development in this direction, and one
which has scarcely been foreseen until
very recently, is the proposed use of the
gelatine process of printing for newspaper
work.
A western inventor has been engaged
for some time in an experiment, which
aims at nothing less than the entire elm
ination of the compOsitor for book work
and even newspaper work. The process
is virtually that already followed by the
fri 8 which reproduce English works by
photography, but instead of photographing
a printed page, 1t is now proposed to
photograph from type written pages, and
reducing the plate at the same time to the
size of ordinary print to place the result
ing gelatine plate upon a printing press
and use 1t instead of the electrotype made
from the metal types. The late Col.
Richard Howe, the veteran press inventor,
in reviewing the development of the print
Ing press during his lifetime, said: 81
have some idea that the next jump will
be in the direction of photographing the
newspaper upon the sheet of paper as it
flies through the press. don't know
how such a thing can be done, but with
the instantaneous process of lightning
photographs some genius will use it for
the newspapers" He did not live to see
any experiment made in the direction of
actural photography of newspapers, but
there seems to have been something al
most prophetic in his suggestion of pho

The mistake is frequently made OF ad-
vising subjects of heart disease to keep
absolutely quiet. This is all wrong.
Exercise in moderation is beneficial, and
protracts the course OF the disease. The
muscular substance of the heart, like all
other muscles, needs exercise, and must
have 1t, otherwise 1t cannot keep up its
nutrition to the highest point possible.
Indeed, Professor Oertel goes so far rs to
recommend mountain climbing as the best
form Of exercise for these cases. 1t may
be that this is going a little too far, but
there can be no question as to the benefits
to be had from moderate exercise in this
class of cases. -GlObe-Dcmocrat.

The chicken feathers are first plucked
at line months old, and look only fit to be
made into busting brushes. In the second
year they are a little like the ostrich
feathers of commerce, but stiff and mar
row, and 1t is not till the third year that
they AVE attained their full width and
softness. During the first two years the
male and female birds are alike; but at
each melting the male becomes darker,
until the plumage is all black, except the
wings and tail, which are white. In each
wing there are twenty-four long feathers.
During the breeding season the bill of the
male bird, the large scales on the fore
part of the leg, and sometimes the skin of
the head and neck, assume n deep rose
color, After a good rain ostriches begin
to make nests, At this time the male be-
comes savage and their booming is heard
In all directions. The bird nHates its

"What drug has the largest sale of any
in this country" repeated a wholesale
drug dealer in response to a reporters in
quiry. "Quinine without any question.
1t seems to have been provided as the
great specific of nature. Even to the ply
stefan who over and over again has wit
messed its mastery it is little less han
miraculous how the shaking ague will
yield to its control unless there are special
complications, or unless a habit of malar-
ial subsection has been established. 1t
has even extended its domain far beyond
this. In other forms of fever and in GER
tain conditions of innervation or want of
general tonicity, it is largely available,
although needing TO be used with discern
ment. There probably never was a time
in which the use of some form of Peruvian
bark, under the name of cinchona, gum
ida, etc, has been SO extensive as at
present"
'Is it not used to excess7'
Undoubtedly, and surely it should not
be used at random, and the medical adj
wiser may need often to be consulted as
to indications and CONGRATULATIONS for
its use. But it can safely be aid that it
is less abused thar most medicines, and
that we may easily rank 1t as among the
most valuable of American discoveries.
While there is no such danger of acquir-
ing a quinine habit as a morphine habit,
the abuse OF the drug is not uncommon"
