The London Medical Press and Circu-

spondent contributes to lay contem-
porary some remarks upon his profession,
which, although in some respects con-
tanning good deal Of truth, are mover
theless confessedly amusing. His main
object in view is to show that he has
made gross mistake in joining the
ranks Of medicine, instead Of investing
his money, which had been spent upon
his education, in some business concern
He describes himself as failure, and
this after having worked exceedingly
hard at his profession. -.
'"The cause of his failure he attrib-
utes to the absence of two things, which
are chiefly essential to success in the
medical profession. These, he asserts,
are, in the first place, money, and, in
the second, bald head. 1 have no
money, and my hair is inconveniently
thick. Incipient badness gives the ap-
pearance of high and dome-like fore
head and inspires the ladies with con-
fidence. The fortunate possessor of this
beautiful feature is pronounced very
clever which settles the matter. Be-
sides, it is almost indispensable for.
good bedside manner All my medical
friends who are getting on we'll have
either money or bald heads; most of
them have both.

vantage of a young practi toner to ex-
h1bit a modern antique appearance, and

L. IT,
There is real commercial value in a
bald head, and this value Is by no means
confined to the medical profession.
Whatever advantages, however, it may
confer on business young man. to
medical man fair estimate under IA
Vorable circumstances would be, at the
lowest, five hundred a year. The as
sumption Of age and ripe philosophy
which man can safely indulge in whose
hair follicles upon the top of his head
have in early manhood undergone proc
ess of fatty degeneration, leaving a
white expanse of rejecting integument,
Is matter of common observation. The
public are impressed by the appearance
Of things under these circumstances; a
bald head will carry conviction to their
minds when. nothing else will, saving,
perhaps, flowing beard. -.
Given the lower animals are not in
sensible to its attractions. 1t is recorded
that an ostrich once sat down upon the
bald head of an Englishman, under the
impression that it was an egg which re-
quired Matching. The circumstances
were favorable to this slight error of
Judgment, and the sagacfous bird must
be acquitted of having purposely at
tempted to play practical joke. But
in this matter, as in all things else in
life, appearances are every thing. No
one knows better the value of bald
head than he who possesses tat all
events in medicine; but how strangely
oaptious is nature, for while one man,
greatly to his worldly prosperity, con-
veniently finds his head becoming bald,
another has to seek consolation where
he can under the depressing circum-
stances Of knowing that his head is the
only place upon which he can not get
hair to grow"

Copper JeMeIrr Of the AborIgines

The Indian women of the southern
Atlantic coast, Captain John Smiti
said, had copper pendants, and the
Mangoaks beautified '1heir houseI
with great plates thereof" The Vir
ginia Indians valued copper, and has.
custom of throwing pieces in ih
river when passing their buryina
grounds. A common ornament of the
person was ga broad piece of copper

cords of the early settlers of New Eng

foot, which he gave me; the same wal
very handsome and very pure; givins
me to understand that he had guam
tity of it where he had taken this

invariably refer to its use as for or.

As if not satisfied with the harm il
can do alone, the orca secures the aid
of two or three of its fellows, and then
the little pack of monsters starts on an
expedition. Everything is game to
them. If school of dolphins come
in sight, away 20 tic fleece sea-wolves
in hot chase. The frightened dolphins
dash madly through the waves, urged
to their swiftesl speed by terror; but
grimly the ravenous pursuers close up

Perhaps a great Greenland whale
may cross the path of the marauders.
Huge as it is the largest of created
beings-it has no terrors for the blood
thirsty pack. They dart about the
giant with lig thing velocity; now in
front, now underneath, now on the
sides; until the bcwildercd monster,
with lash Of his ponderous tail, turn
his mighty head downward and seeks
the oceans bed.
Vain effort! Ills tormentOrs follow
him apparently with ferocious glee.
Up, mp again, rage and agony lending

reached and all that bulk of flesh
shoots out of water and then falls
with ponderous crash, dashing the
boiling waves asunder. Still the agile
foes are there. They leap over his
head, high in the air, and dive under
him. They rush at him, here, there,
and everywhere. He opens his huge
mouth to engulf them. They only
mock at the danger, and soon wound
ed in hundred places, weakened and
powerless, the whale succumbs.-LSt

The Coffee of Bolivia,

The agricultural industries of Bo-
liyia comprise but three articles of
consequence, viz: coffee, chincona
bark and cocoa. The best coffee comes
from tho valley of the Yungas.
Though very small white bean, il
possesses a peculiarly delicate flavor,
and commands higher price in the
market than any other. he narrow
valley, however, produces t2, 900 AFRO
bas year (25 pounds to the arroba),
or about one-foulth of Bolivia's sup
ply. The province of Mapiri pro-
suces three times as much, but its
coffee brings less money, being of in
ferior quality.
The average value of Yungas' yearly
crop is 100000 pesos aurana, or so, 600
bolivianas, the dollars of the country.
A boliviana, by the way, is worth
twenty-five cents less than the "sol"
(do!lar) of Peru; and the Bolivian
peso is worth % cents less than the
boliviana, while every American dol
lar in gold or paper commands $3.50
in Bolivian currency. To transport
the Yungas coffee over the mountains
to La Paz costs the producer about
two bolivianas and forty cents per
sassi'i ----~y--. -. - -.
I The average price Of coffee at la
Paz is "a bo.ivianas per hundred
weight, while from the coast to Europe.
all the way round by sailing vessel, it
is only one boliyiana. Luckily there
is no export duty u coffee, though at
present barely enough is grown for
home consumption. Doubtless the out
put viii soon be greatly increased, as
many of the largest chincona planters
are now planting coffee instead of the
quina tree, since the latter has become
literally a "drug on the rfiarke >

Cabral did not suspect that a Spanish
navigator Pinzom had "anncxod"
the vast territory TO the crown of Cas-
tile three months before. A contro-
vcrsy arose between Spain and Portu-
gal in regard TO the possession of
Brazil. which was amicably settled,
Portugal retaining possession of the
country from the mouth of the river
Amazon to that of the Rio de Ia Plata.
So it was that Portugal became pos
scssed of vast territory in South
America. 1t is said that King EN-
manuel sent three small vessels to
South America in 1901, under the com
mand of Americus Vespucius. which
touched Brazil at latitude 5 degrees
south, and returned to Lisbon af er a
voyage of sixteen months. Grave
doubts have been expressed, and even
denials of the truth of the narrative of
the alleged voyage given by Vespucius;
and negative testimony discovered by
erudite investigators attest the reason
ableness of the doubts.-[Nlail and

The Chinese Dcyotce in a Foreign Land.

Every Chinaman in Chicago conducts
his religious services in his own pc
culiar way. In many a h:tle room,
back of basement laundry, one may
find the sacred images, and on The hol-
days and feast days little tapers will
be lighted about them, the sacred pea
nat oil will be burned as incense, and
other vile-smelling stuff will be ignited
as a proof of Johns devotion to the
teachings of Confucius. The Chinese
religious customs are apparently as
meaningless as the incantations of a
Choctaw medicine-man, but they are
held in awful reverence by the Ori-
entails, and no persuasion can induce
one of them 10 explain their signifi-
cance. No Chinese church has been
established in Chicago and probably
none will be, for every almond-eyed
laundryman in the city still claims a
residence across the ocean, and is only
waiting until he can get enough money
to 90 back and surprise the natives Of
the fowery kingdom. n Chicago News.

The Accidental Discovery Of Brazil.

In the year 1900, King Emmanuel
of Portugal placed Pedro Alvarez
Cabral, an eminent navigator, in COM
mand of squadron of thirteen vessels,
to be sent to the East Indies by way
of the Cape of Good Hope, which had
then been recently discovered. Cabral
sailed from Lisbon. In order to avoid
the calms of the coast of Guinea, the
ships sailed far westward so far that
they were carried by ocean currents
and driven by the trade winds to the
western verge of the Atlantic Ocean,
in the equatorial region. In April
Cabral came in sight of land at latitude
10 degrees south.
He landed; set up a cross; took
