MEDICAL SCIENCE IN CHINA.

of the Methods OF Other Nations.
From the New Yors Sun.
At meeting of the New York Academy
of Anthropology, at 9 University place, last
evening paper on the Medical and Sur
gcal Science Of China" was read. 1t had
been sent on by Dr. E. P. Thwing, the vice
president of the society. who is now con-
nected with hospital in China.
The paper declared that exact science does
not exist in China, while theories and super
stitions abound. Scientific study is fet-
tered by language chat is the most vague
and tedious of all tongues. 1t is impossible
for the Chinaman to study any other Lam
guage through the medium of his own.
The terminology of chemistry, for instance,
cannot be reproduced in Chinese. Medical
literature, such as it is, is very copious
DIR. Thwing expressed his amazement at the
industry of Chinese scholars in collecting
data with respect to the human frame and
medical materials. He had found one
treatise on materia medica which consisted
of forty volumes, in which 756 authorities
were quoted, and another of sixty volumes
with l, 7l5 engravings. Not a square inch

which is pierced with holes indicating the
location of 40 pulses. According to the
character Of these different pulses the coz
diton of the body is determined The land
is overridden with quacks. Anybody can
be a doctor, but there is prescribed course
of study for regulars" A law prescribes
death to any irregular doctor whose patient
dies, but this is dead letter. The race
increases in numbers, and shows no
sign of decay in spite of the physicians and
their methods. There is no surgery, for the
Chinese believe that dismem oerment here
causes a permanent Disagreement in the
after life. During the past half century
considerable confidence in the foreign
science has been created by the pioneer
work of European and American physi-
clans. There is an unlimited field for
women physicians, for Chinese women will
suffer infinite pain before submitting to
treatment by man. There are now sixty
mission hospitals aud eighty foreign ply
sicians in the country.
Following the essay Mr.. j. Stewart Hap
per, who was born in China, made a long
and earnest defence of the Chinese. saying
that the remarkable endurance OF the en-
pire was due mainly to good government.

BUFFALO, April borrower Cleveland,
ESQ.,, was on May 10, 1879, appointed ref
cree by supreme court justice in the suit
of William Baynes against the trustees of
the Buffalo state asylum for the insane.
Mr.. Baynes was contractor on the build
ing, and after he had begun work the plans
were changed, involving much additional
labor and expense. The claim was disal-
lowed by the asylum authorities. IL
amounted TO nearly $4,000. After vain
efforts to effect a settlement Contractor
Baynes brought suit TO mandamus the board
to pay him. Mr.. Cleveland was appointed
referee to take testimony. The hearings
have dragged along ever since, the suit
slowly progressing from time to time,
while the referee became mayor, then gov
ernor, and afterward President. Since Mr.
Cleveland's retirement from the white house
most of the testimony has been taken, the
hearings having been held in Mr.. Cleve-
lands Office in New York. Mr.. Baynes
feared 60 press the matter, because he
thought it might prejudice the referee
against him, and, although be needed the
money, was obliged TO wait for the tardy
Justice which he finally got, in part at
least, for Referee Cleveland allowed only
90. 1858 "a, including interest, as the amount
due Mr. Cleveland put his fee at 5000.
Justice Lewis yesterday CONFIRMED the
report and mandamused the asylum people
to pay Mr.. Baynes

New York, April 12.-Everybody has
heard of the enterprising Mr.. Lowenstein
who had his name changed to Livingstone
and blossomed in society as a member of
one of the oldest families of New York; but
few people, not lawyers, have any idea of
the number of names which are annually
changed by the Legislature or the courts.
Iu the year 1889, which is a fair sample,
considerably over 100 names were changed
in New York alone. A family of Clausnitz-
gers became by decree Adams, no less than
twelve Cohens became Clarks and five
Gambitskys are now happy in the more
manageable title of Bernhard. A
case of similar import is that of
the Dzialynskis who certainly made
an i'm provement when they adopted
Lewis for conve nience. Frederick Herman
Hunaeus gained a doubtful advantage by
seeking legal authorization of the change Of
his last name to Hungus. but Halver Rueued
became first pronounceable to yankees as
Henry Rudh. Henry Charles Ebbske
wanted to do as other folks do and he is now
called Smith. Sven Svenson took the same
name: the Smiths would be booming indeed
but Ann c. Smith had dropped Smith aud
taken the name of Cary instead. Tie
Sablodowsky family are hereafter TO
Herman Koch and William Kanpfer-
schmidt are anglicised as Cook and Copper
smith. One cannot but think that William
Turner Harvard's uncle had gone back on
him and that William Edison Howard,
which is the new name Of the same gentle
man, has hopes of another. Messrs. Kiln
kowstein, Kadaus5y and Pinkusky have
made il easier for their correspondents, who
hereafter will only write to them as King,
Kadane and Pinkus, and Sidney Witkowsky
conforms to phonetics as Sidney White.
| John Baptiste Teador Barnard Tondury
| shakes Off more than half his head and
emerges as Bernard Teador. The change
| from heydt to Hoyt and Schulmeyer to
| Sherman shows how our German element is
| becoming absorbed.
Most of the names are changed for bust
ness reasons or for convenience or are
merely anglicised or translated, but few
| of the metamorphoses suggest a suspicion
| that the owners of plebeian names thirs ed
| for something which sounded better and
asked the courts to help them. This may
be doing an injustice to Miss or Madame
| Phelan, now known as de la Men, TO the
Messrs. Merphy, now Dominick, TO Mr..
flnkiSSCelu. now MdluTeNOt 10
Mr.. Allshesky now Sherwood
| to Senator Ernesto Agra
monte y Smoni, who has added Ignacio to
his former title. and to Nine. Katzenback,
wqo. as Mrs Gusts, might now be taken
for a relative of Martha Washington. On
the other hand, George We're Hoblrt-Phil-
pott has cut off couple of links of his long
name and is known as plain Hobart. In
general the courts by acceding to the re-
quests of those who want tneir names
changed-such requests are always granted
have promoted economy IN time, ink and
paper.

A DOG THAT WEARS "PANrIEs."

A little yellow terrier often attracts at

account for the notice it receives. 1t is

is her invention.

her knees smote together and she struck an
attitude with one hand clutching the piano

RUSSELL HARRrsoN's srENoenAranR.


RUSSELL HARRIsoN's sTENoGRAPHER.
The necessity for stenographers and type
writers has grown TO such an extent within
the past few years that it has opened up q
new field of labor for both men and women.
and yet there are more incompetent stenogra-
pliers and type-writers in New York to-day
than would be needed to defend the city
from an army of invasion. In common
with all other literary workers, the
writer has found IS per cent. Of the
men and women who reply to adver-
tisements- for stenographers and type
writers know nothing of current events,
hardly know how TO spell aud are deficient
in grammar and general knowledge. Miss
Mary F. Seymour, who is at the head of
one of the largest schools and typewriting
establishments In New York city, an ex-
cee1ingly bright woman, by the way, said
the other day that the possibilities for
women in this new field are practically I'M
Limited. Then she went on to add that there
was work enough for all who were compe-
tent to do good work. but there was no
place for either men or women who were
not experts, and, what is more TO the point,
she added, there was an abundance of re-
Enumeration for such talent. 1t is said,
however, that the strain put upon the best
operators breaks them down in about two
years.
Nevertheless, there is plenty of talent,
such es it is, as reference to the adver-
Using columns of the daily papers viii
show. Here is one that attracted some at
tention:
VOUNG LADY STENOGRAPHER AND
l. type writer; absolutely expert; four years;
formerly stenographer to Russell Il. Harrison
This created some amusement among
Russell Harrison's friends, for while no one
doubts that he is clever enough young
fellow, it rather puzzled them to know how
he could possibly get SIG worth of type
writing done in week, unless he used most
of his tune in writing letters to his father
advising how he should run the government.
Young Mr.. Harrison is devoting his time
to work. He is not q literary man in any
sense, nor is he as much of a hustler as
when he came TO New York year ago.
The club men and others who know him
never tire of joking him about his din
ner at Windsor Castle last summer, and, az
he is extremely sensitive, it has proved
quite annoying to him. One of his friends
who saw the advertisement above quoted
thought it would be good joke to have
couple OF hundred letters written, asking
him all about the young lady, how she
worked, why she left him and what she
found to occupy her time. Then twenty
five OF thirty of them called at various
times during the day to make inquiries
about her. and by nightfall the young
Hoosier came to the conclusion that his
friends were guying him and he paid for
the wine.
But to return to the subject: there is some
talk OF organizing a big type writing school
where young women will be thoroughly
trained and given diplomas when they have
become experts. 1t may interest some to
know that the pay for male expert is from
SIS to $35 per week and from 81 TO $25 for
women.
