THE DOCTORS, BILLS.

But two bills We're passed affecting the medical
profession. The bill in which they were most in
terested, that making state board Of medical ex-
aminers and hcensers, was permitted to die with
many olher bills on the second reading calendar.
The bills which passed have become laws by the
approval of the governor One of them regulates
the practice Of veterinary surgery. II provides
that every person practclng veterinary medicine
or surgery shall be a graduate of legally char
tered college or university, but practitioners of
five years standing at the time of the passage of
this act are permitted TO register.
The other relates to pharmacists. number of
persons actually engaged in the retail drug bust
ness at the date of the approval of the act of May
81 1851 failed to apply for registration witilia the
period of ninety days provided for that purpose
This act is supplement to the law of l6si and
gives those who failed to register in 1887 privilege
of making application for registration at any time
within ninety days from April 26.

NO LIQUOR BILLS.
The legislature did not pass bill touching tho
saloon. The Brooks bill which has Worked so
satisfactorily during tho past year, viii remain in
force two years more, at least unless II Is knocked
out by prohibition.
The reason the Brooks law was not amended
this session was not because there was no at
tempt to do So but because the republican party
set It's face against IT, Early in the session
number Of bills supplementary 10 the Brooks law
were presented In the house and sent 20 the why's
and means committee. Senator Cooper was also
talking about improving high license He went
80 far as to prepare an elaborate bfll supplement-
ary to the Brooks law. The Republican leaders
consulted, and determined that It was not wise
to change the Brooks law this year, 80 Senator
Cooper abandoned his bill for the time. OF the
number Of bills on the question that went 10 the
ways md means committee only two were re-
ported favorably, and they did not come out OF
committee until the session was half over.
Oneo these was the Qngley bill relative 90 the
revocation OF licenses, The other was Mr. Nc
Donald's bill regulating the fees by making fees
for cities of the third class $500 .
Mr. Fow had bin providing for tile transfer Of
licenses In case OF death which was negativod by
the committee but Mr., Fow persusded the house
10 place II the calendar. The C(hgiey bin and
the Fow bill were the only two that got through
the house. Mr.. McDonald's bill was never reached
ON third reading. Mr. Brooks foughtHdl or these
measures
When the Fow bill went over to the senote Mr..
Cooper offered amendments 20 Il, incorporating
the Sinas he had set forth early In the session,
namely, one saloon for ev,ty 500 Inhabitants OF
any county, bnndsmen % lc secured in any part
of the cousty; no minor of either sis permitted
to sell or give away liquor, allowing trust conpa-
MES to become security ard compensating consta.
bes for their duty
This delayed tlie bin in the senate until the last
night of the session. The Quigley bill was kept
back until the same time and theIiboth Were lost
by very close votes The Quigley bill needed but
one vote 10 pass il and IL would have had just
enough but for the fact that Journal Clerk Smiley
lid not hear Gen. Goblin vote.
The senate passed bill prohibiting the sale of
liquor on Decoration day, but it was defeated in
the house ON final passage
An Allegheny member offered a bill to repeal
tie law Of 1885 which prohibits the sale Of liquor
ON Sunday but hts bill never saw daylight

BREAD AND FRUIT
A Strictly Vegetable Diet Preferable to
Animal Food.

A Strictly Vegetable Diet Preferable TO
Animal Food.
The food which is most enjoyed, writes a
physician in L0ngmdn's Magazine, is the
food we call bread and fruit. In my long
medical career, extending over forty years,
/ have rarely known an instance in which
child has not preferred fruit to animal
food. l have been many times called upon
to treat children for stomachic disorders
induced by pressing upon them animal
to the exclusion of fruit diet, and have
seen the best results occur from the prac-
tice Of reverting to the use of fruit in the
dietary. | say 1t without the least preju-
dice, as a lesson learned from simple ex-
Terienee, that the most natural diet for
the young, after the natural milk diet, is
fruit and wholemeal bread, with milk and
water for drink. The desire for this same
mode of sustenance is often continued into
after years, as if the resort to flesh were a
forced and artificial feeding, which re-
quired long and persistent habit to estab-
lish as permaneucy, as part of the sys-
tenn of everyday life.
How strongly this preference taste for
fruit over animal food prevails is shown
by the simple fact of the retention of those
foods in the mouth Fruit is retained to
be tasted and relished. Animal food, to
use a common phrase, is ''boIted." There
IS natural desire to retain the delicious
fruit for full mastication; there is no such
desire, except in the trained gourmand,
for the retention of animal substance.
One further fact which l have observed
and that too often % discard it-as a
fact of great moment, is that when a per-
son of mature years has, for time, given
up voluntarily the use of animal food in
favor Of vegetable, the sense of repugnance
to animal food is soon so markedly devel-
oped that a return to it is overcome with
the utmost difficulty Neither is this a
mere fancy or fad peculiar TO sensitive men
or over-sentimental women. | have been
surprised to see it manifested in men who
are the very reverse Of sentimental and
who were, in fact, quite ashamed to admit
themselves guilty of any such weakness.
have heard those who have gone over from
mixed diet of animal and vegetable food
to pure vegetable diet speak of feeling
low under the new system, and declare
that they must needs give it up in conse-
quence; but | have found even these
without exception) declare that they in
hnitely preferred the simpler, purer, and,
as it seemed to them, more natural food
plucked from the prime source of food, I'M
tainted by its passage through another ami

REsTING-PLACE OF A POET.

Nesting amid the trees on the gentle
slope of a neighboring hill is the village
cemetery of Resign, l.. l. In this home
of the departed are two graves, side by
side, which resting-place contain the dust
of one of the worlds greatest poets, Will
lam Cullen Bryant, and of his faithful
companion in life. The site of this last
resting place of the dead was selected by
the poet editor who now sleeps within its
confines, and who at the time uttered a
wish-granted half century later-in the
following words:
gazed upon the glorious sky
And the green mountain round,
