THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1891.
CHANGE OF PUBLICATION DAY.

Until further notice THE NEWS will be published every Thursday instead of every Wednesday.
 We have long contemplated change of publication day. All on the staff of THE NEWS would prefer to publish the paper on Friday, but for the present at least it will be issued on Thursday as our subscribers might possibly object to radical change at once, whereas If we approach the goal by degrees they will acquiesce. We can mention many reasons why it is desirable, yes almost imperative, to change the date of publi- cation but we will name only three.
 FIRST. The majority of the cores pondence does not reach us uotil Mon day afternoon and evening, consequent ly 1t Is impossible to publish THE NEWS on Wednesday morning without work ing Monday and Tuesday evenings until midnight or later.
 SECOND. Our advertisers frequently want changes Monday or Tuesday and it IS almost impossible to accommodate them and publish THE NEWS on We'd nesday morning.
 THIRD. We can obtain later and better summary of state and miscella- neous news for Thursday than for We'd nesdsy.
 Nearly all the weekly papers in Con- necticut are published on Friday, and unquestionably that is the most con- venient day and better for all concerned. THE NEWS was launched on Friday July IA, 1871 and was published on Friday until January 1878 when the publication day was changed to Thurs day. A few months later Gn October 1s7S) the publication day was changed to Wednesdays change which at first was considered an evidence of enterprise but which has worked to the disadvan- tage of all concerned; a change which brought sleepless nights and impaired health to the many different persons who have worked in THE NEWS office since 1878.

Two Doctors,

Almost every one has made his jest
about the proueness of doctors to dis
agree, the one prescribing exactly an
opposite course from that ordered
by another; but not every one has
had an opportunity to conduct such
an experiment as was made by the
late Baron Lntz, formerly prime min
lister of Bavaria.
The baron was once severely wound
ed in battle in both legs. The wonnd
in one leg was much like that in the
other. It struck him that here as a
chance to study the ways of the sur.
gical profession and beguile the long
hours of his convalescence. He ac.
cordingly called in one doctor and
gave him charge of his right leg, but
told him nothing about the wound ir
the other, and then called in another
surgeon for his left leg, keeping him
similarly in ignorance about the
wounded right leg.
The doctors adopted a very diff
ferent method of treatment, botI
wounds healed about the same time
When the baron's legs were quite vel
he derived a great deal of amusement
from getting the doctors together anC
nystifying them with questions about
the way each had treated "his leg. -

Giving Him HELL"

1t was in one of the smaller of the
New England colleges that on one oc-
casion the students of q graduating
class showed their fondness for a fa-
vorite professor by the gift of g. hand
some edition of Dore's illustrated Gin
ferno," says the Boston Courier, The
gift was surprise, but there were, of
course, a number of persons IN the
secret, and among them brother of
the professors wife. He chanced to
meet his sister on the morning when
the book was to be presented, the oc-
casion being the last recitation which
the class were to haveto theprofessor.
ooh Kate" he said, with great af-
fectation of concern, ''do you know
what is going on?"
"Going on?" she echoed. "Not l
know of nothing in particular
What is it?"
"Do you think you could keep your
husband home from recitation this
morning."
keep him at home? Why should I
keep him at home?"
Il don't want to frighten you," the
other said, with sinister air, ''but
the truth is"
1.-The truth is what?" she demanded.
"What in the world is the matter?"
"Well, if you must know" he said,
"the boys are just going to give him
hell this morning."
The professors wife was so alarmed
by his words and manner that she for
got to reprove him for his apparent
profanity.
"Why 1 thought the students liked
him
Her brother shook his head gloomily
"You will find it as I say" he OBJ
served, and turned away. "I don't
think there is anything you can do,
he called back over his shoulder.
The lady flew home in panic, and
not long after she reached it her hus
band arrived, bringing with him "Hell'
elegantly bound. What the feelings o.
the lady toward her brother were may
be imagined by anyone who has beer
similarly placed.
