Printing by Dog Power.

Printing machines are usually driven
by steam or gas motors, but the machine
which prints certain newspaper in
America is run by dog power. A large
wheel about ten feet in diameter and
two in width is connected with the driv-
ing rigger of the machine by means of a
belt; strips of wood, for foothold, are
placed foot apart on the inside of the
wheel, where Joe, the journalistic
dog, walks his weary round, and thus
causes the wheel to revolve. Joe has run
the press for about five years, and has
faithfully earned his board and lodging,
but it is now about time for him to feel
i'll and "turn it up" being unable to con-
tinue turning it ound.-London Tit

Some Rare Old China Pitobers

The naval battles and heroes of the
war of 1919 furnished many subjects for
use in decorating pitchers, and some
bear inscriptions far from fattering to
English vanity. With the portraits of
Perry are the words of his famous dis
patch, 1--WE have met the enemy and
they are ours" With Lawrence, his
dying words, Don't give up the ship
With the likeness of Decatur, who cap
tured the Macedonian, Free Trade,
Sailors Rights.
Then quickly met our nations eyes
The nobcst sight In nature,
A first class frigate as prize
Brought back by brave Decatur.
With Commodore Bainbride, of the
Constitution (Old Ironsides), are his
words, "Avast, boys, she's struck" The
old ballad says:
On Brazils coast she ruled the roast
When cambridge was her captain
Neat hammocks gave, made of the wave,
Dead Brtons to be wrapped in.

Personal---very. Errors.

Most of the shortcomings of the old
method of historical writing resulted
from the fact that the world was looked
at from a statical point of view, or as if a
picture of the world were a series of de-
tached pictures of things at rest. The
human race and its terrestrial habitat
were tacitly assumed to have been al
ways very much the same as at present.
One age was treated much like another,
and when comparisons were made it was
after manner as different from the
modern comparative method as alchemy
was different from chemistry.
AS mems studies had not yet been
turned in such direction as to enable
them to appreciate the immensely of
the results that are wrought by the
cumulative action of minute causes,
they were disposed to attach too much
Importance to the catastrophe and mar
velous; and the agency of powerful in
dividuals-which upon any sound theory
must be regarded as of great Importance
they not only magnifed unduly but
rendered it unintelligible when they
sought to transform human heroes into
demi-gods.
1t thus appears that the way in which
our forefathers treated history was part
and parcel of the way in which they re-
garded the world. Whether in history
or in the physical sciences, they found
themselves confronted by seemingly
chaotic mass of facts with which they
could deal only in vague and cropping
manner and in small detached groups

DOCTORS AND cLERG4MEN.
The Former Much the shorter lived.
Their Arduous Work the Cause.

The deaths of several w,u.kuowl
medical practitioners lately at ages
but little beyond the middle period Of
life have given 2 shock 10 a good many
of their professional brethren. And
no wonder! One of the first things a
doctor naturally aims at is the preser
y0tiOn Of his own health and life. III
he cannot keep himself alive and well.
the prospect is certainly not very en-
couraging FOR his patients 1t is com
monty believed that doctors are a short
lived class, Is the popular belief well
founded? 1t is, according to the Lon
don Hospital, only too well founded.
In his Vital Statistics" DR.. Arthur
Newsholme informs us that of every
1000 clergymcn between the ages Of
40 and % only 1898 die annually. But
Of every 1000 doctors between the
ages OF 40 and 60 no fewer than 2S03
die every year That is to say, the
mortality of medical men is almost dou-
bic that Of clergymen. And the rate
is increasing Twenty years ago only
"A instead of 2S These are facts to
make us pause. They seem to throw
IN ugly doubt upon The competency
Of our professional skill. It may per,
haps be urged that clcrgymen are
financially more prosperous than medi.
cll men; but That would be quite falla.
cious, because Dr. Newsholmc includes
in his clerical class the ministers Of all
the nonconforming denominations; and,
class for class, there is no doubt that
medical men are much better off than
the body of clcrgymeu as thus con-
situated. What is the reason, then,
for this portentouS death roll? 1t is
to be found in the arduous nature of
The doctors daily work But then the
doctor knows the arduousness Of his
work, and if he had faith in physiology
he would comteract the effect Of that
arduousness by more holidays and by
combining with his fellow doctors to
diminish the killing strain. This is a
matter which is generally talked about
and then dropped
