Tn the Case of Royal Patients They ar
 Sometimes Enormous.

 sore of the fees paid by royalty have baen eminently befitting the giver and taker The late physician to the prince of Wales received for four weeks at tendance at Sandringham, during the illness of his distinguished patient from +vnhoid fever, not only the usual title of baronet, but a fee of fl0,0U. Sir Morell Mackenzie is reported to have received more than twice this amount for his treatment of the late Emperor Frederick of Germany. Dominale, a nrominent practitioner of London in 1762 was called thence to St. Peters, burg to vaccinate the Empress Gather inc IT., for which he received not only the equivalent of $50,000, but an extra s1O.OOO for travelling expenses, the title of baron, and life pension of s250O yearly. His royal highness the Nawab of Rampur, India, recently paid an English army surgeon f50,00O for a three months occasional attendance in an ordinary attack of rheumatism. The late Sir Andrew Clark, Gladstone's physician, often charged $1,o0O for run ming down from London to Liverpool, and the late Sir William Gull, com- manded equally high rates for similar services. A Russian surgeon charged a wealthy noble of Odessa s6,oOO for opening an abcess of the hip, the time occupied being about ten minutes. And better still, while on the same visit, he took a chance shot at another patient in the shape of a similarly simple opera tion, for which he received nearly $1,5O0 more, certainly enough extra to pay the fee of the railroad porter on his home ward journey.
 But in all this it is not so much the doing as the knowing how to do 1t.

THE TELEPHONE DOCTOR.
He Is an Indispensable Adjunct to the
Large City Systems.

In telephone plant for a big city
like Chicago there are cables contain
ing upwards of thirty thousand miles
of copper wire.
Complete records are kept of the po-
sition of every wire and the men in
charge can pick ont at once the line of
any subscriber whenever it is necessary
to inspect it or work ON it. When a
line gets into trouble it can be tested
in both directions from the switch
board and out toward the subscribers
station.
AT every exchange there is an official
called the wire chief, whose special
duty is to overlook the making of con-
nections between the subscribers line
and the switch board, to inspect the
wires and to test them electrically in
order to determine the position of any
defect that may occur in subscribers
line or instruments. The wire CHEZ
sits at special desk from which wires
run to various parts of the system and
he is provided with electrical instru-
ments with which to make tests on
lines that develop trouble He is
the ambulance surgeon of the tele-
phone plant and his wires give him the
advantage of being truly Ubiquitous
He receives complaints and reports of
trouble" and enters on special slips
every trouble" rcpor ted or discovered.
These slips are handed to trouble
men, who search out the cause and,
finding it, apply the proper remedy;
they then enter an account of what
they found and what they did on the
slip and return it. In this way a close
and comprehensive check is kept on
the operation of the telephone plant,
which. on account of its complexity
and of the numbe~ of small parts that
go to make it up, is peculiarly liable to
trifiing but troublesome detects. Re-
turns are made up periodically from
the trouble slips ana these form a
continuous record of the efficiency both
of the plant and of those Immediately
in charge of it.-Chicego News.

On each of the vessels of the lines
mentioned large Staterooms have been
set aside and fitted out for the use of
postal clerks. Big racks of pigeon
holes stand up against the walls. and
the mail pouches hang from stands in

offices the clerks work from eight to

brown bread and dry them in slow

Place them in mortar and pound

them and let them soak for about

carefully, is very acceptable to invalids
who are tired of ordinary drinks. such
