Too Many Professionals

The German government, which
is an exceedingly paternal one and
thinks it can regulate the affairs of
its subjects in matters pertaing both
to this world and to the next better
than they can manage them for
themselves, is troubled about tho
large number of doctors and the
steady increase in medical students.
1t thinks there are too many in pro-
portion to the population, and that
men who would make good farmers,
merchants or workmen, are turning
to pursuits which are already over
done. The same state of affairs
exists in this country. The doctors
complain that there are too many
in their business and they do not
see how to stop it, except to require
higher standard of excellence and
more years of study from the stu
dents of the future. 1t is hard to
bring this about, however, unless all
the medical colleges will lengthen
their course of instruction. Since
many of them are run quite as
much to make money as TO mako
doctors, and the one that did not
extend it's period of study would
be the favorite with the students,
it is not likely such a plan will be
adopted. The German authorities,
however, not having to depend on
voluntary effort, have refused to
allow the opening of any more
medical schools, and have even
shown an unwillingness to make

of the quadrangle, and noticed that
the officer with tho drawn saber

the line, composed of six men. In

Your Rights and tho Other xan'a

A man may say, Have not I a right

which fires the passion, and fits
him for any deed of crime-then
the law has right to interpose its

lEARx!ne TO SWIM.
Easy Enough whep You Know How
70 DO It

Professional swimmers, says q
writer in the Buffalo News, differ
very materially in their modes and
methods of teaching beginners,
though they all aim to accomplish
the same results-to have their pu-
pills learn as rapidly as possible and
be q credit to their instructor. A
swimming teacher says swimming
is as easy as rolling off u log when
one knows how. That is just where
the trouble lies; the idea should be
to first teach the pupil how, and
afterward, no doubt, he will find it
as easy as described. To teach him
to swim is what is desired, and to
tell him swimming is easy to learn
is all right, but that fact does not
make the accomplishment of the
art any easier. Hundreds of good
swimmers in the United States can
never remember having learned,
and they say it came natural to
them the first time they entered the
water, as if they were amphibious,
SO to speak, yet it seems strange
that hundreds of others say they
mastered the art after hard strug-
gle. Then they found out it was
very easy when they knew how.
Hundreds Of others who are still
trying to learn fear that they can
not accomplish the task.
Prof. John Robinson, one of the
greatest swimmers in the United
States, recently said to a Boston
Herald reporter:
1.-THE FIRST thing that should be
impressed upon the mind of be-
ginner before he starts out to learn
to swim is that he is lighter than
the water. and that with lungs in
flated and body below the water he
can't possibly sink, as it is perfectly
natural for him to float. Then,
again, he should have self-conf-
dence. When he finds that by fol-
lowing directions he can float, he
will readily see how little effort is
required on his part to enable him
to drive his body through the water.
After this he can eventually become
an expert if he has the proper re-
quisites and will train and practice.
This principle should be taught to
all beginners before they enter the
water"

Look Out for Nasal Obtructiona and
ENLARGED Tonsila

The best possible cure for pneu.
monia is the ounce of prevention.
Nasal obstruction and enlarged tom
sils should receive immediate atten-
ton and radical treatment when
necessary. The nose has within
its channels elements for clearing
the air of foreign particles and
warming it for the lungs. Any ma
sal occlusion compels the air to be
taken in by the mouth-a most
pernious habit that of necessity
affects the general health, causing
a narrowing of the chest, premature
decay of the teeth, and limits the
air supply and lung capacity.
Whoever breathes through the
mouth invites pneumonia. It is of
the greatest Importance that every
inch Of lung tissue should be in
perfect condition. The
sum of all the little spaces where
air meets the blood is equal to the
area of $50 square yards.
Each breath may be bringing in
from the external atmosphere all
manner of deleterious material,
seeking some weak spot to gain q
foothold. This weak spot cannot
exist without danger to health.
The entire blood current comes to
the lungs to obtain from the outside
world the life-giving principle. This
$50 square yards of tissue requires
. supply of pure oxygen over 900
times every hour. When children
play, race and romp the lungs are
illed in every part and this very
exercise Of filling them strengthens
their substance. Brisk walking,
with deep inspirations and tho
mouth closed, helps sweep out the
products of waste. Everything that
expands the chest, as tennis, bowl
ing, rowing, fencing, etc., is an an
tidote to possible pneumonia.-

Helping to Hang Hinsslf

In . handsome mansion situated
in lonely part of England there
resided, . few years ago, = maiden
lady Of considerable wealth. One
morning she was discovered foully
murdered. Her man servant, named
Lee, was suspected, arrested, con-
victed on circumstantlal evidence,
and sentenced to be hanged. So
conclusive seemed the evidence
against the prisoner that no attempt
whatever was made on the part of
the public to induce the Home Sec-
retary to exercise executive Glenn
ency. The day of execution hav-
ing arrived, the prisoner was led
forth to suffer the extreme penalty.
The rope to be used, the texture of
which was hemp, had been, as is
customary in such cases, tested with
the aid of sand bags, and was not
found wanting. The bolt was drawn
and the prisoner was given a drop
of eight feet. The rope broke. The
prisoner walked, unaided, up the
steps leading to the scaffold, and
after the rope had been fixed and
the moose adjusted, the bolt was
drawn for the second time. The
rope broke again.
Leo w.s by this time considerably
stunned. However, after the lapse
of q few moments, he again ascend
ed the steps, anaided, and after do

Romance Of the South Sea Islanda

A romantic story comes to Wash.
ington from Tahiti, in the South Sea
Islands, in which the United States
consul and native princess figure
as the principals. The consul is
Jacob L. Doty, a young man about
twenty-five who was appointed to
his present position about a year
ago. Young Doty served for some
years as page in the Senate, and
when he asked for place in the
consular service all the members of
the body, republicans and demo-
Gratis alike, gave him a cordial in
dorsement. Shortly after his arri-
val in Tahita, Mr.. Doty, who is a
bright, handsome young man, made
the acquaintance of the Princess
Palona. The Princess is beauti-
full and accomplished lady, about
eighteen years old, and perfect
blonde. She is the daughter of
Lord and Lady Darcy, her mother.
Lady Darcy, being native prin-
cess, and her father an English no.
bleman of distinguished ancestry.
Princess Palona has had all the ad-
vantage of a continental education
in France snd Germany as we'll as
England. She is the possessor of
immense wealth, being in her own
right the largest property owner on
the Island, with vast cocoa planta-
ton, and pearl fisheries valued at
millions of dollars, and further re-
ceives large annuity from France
under treaty stipulations. AS may
naturally be supposed the Princess
has not lacked suitors for her hand,
but she threw them all over for
the young American, and in a re-
cent letter from Mr.. Doty to his
mother in this city the announce
ment is made of their betrothal.
Lord Darcy, it is said, desired that
his daughter should marry in her
own station, but like sensible man
waived his objections when he saw
what directions matters were tax
taking. The fact is, the young man
can boast q lineage quite as long as
his prospective father-in-law. He
is q great grandson of Lord Mel
bourne, who was half . century ago
Queen Victoria'e prime minister.
He is also related to the Wallaces
and McPhersons and other families
of note in Great Britain.-Boston

Iaias the Kitchen Stove.

We have made . discovery lately
which, it seems now, we ought to
have made sooner, that the top oi
the average kitchen stove is too lit
tie elevated above the floor, and
that there is in consequence a good
deal of backache and other discom-
fort inflicted upon the cook because
80 much of her work has to be done
in a stopping posture. Rather we
should say, perhaps, that we have
discovered . remedy for a trouble
which We have borne for years, and
which We hasten to make known to
others in the hope Of lessening
their troubles.
Our remedy is simply lifting the
stove upon = platform which will
raise it to such a height that it will
bring tho cooking utensils, when 0 n
the stove, within easy reach to one
standing in an erect or nearly erect
posture. In our case this required
: platform about nine inches in
depth, and to save the trouble and
expense Of procuring a carpenter to
build it we secured an empty pack
ing box of the requisite size from
the grocer at q cost Of only ten
cents. Brushed over with some
staining material corresponding
with the color of the floor, our plat
form looked neat and as though an
established part of the room.
The only additional expense in
Cured was that of adjusting the
stove pipe to the now conditions.
The top of the stove is now as high
as the kitchen table, or q little
higher, and the cook and every one
who has OCCASION to- use the stove
are delighted with the change and
the greatly lightened labor.-Hail
