CITY AND COUNTRY DOCTORS.

What are the inducements to the study
of medicine? Let Us consider the financial
aspect of the question first The easiest
and quickest way to IA competence is to
locate at some country Corners out Of
reach of competition, and where a living
may be expected almost from the start.
The first year. receipts will be from $500.
to $500 there will be no increase for a
year or two but then comes the ambition
and, although the physician is practically
assured of as good living as most of his
neighbors, he is isolated from his natural
companions and doomed to a hard routine
of long drives over rough roads, often at
night, and particularly at the very season
when the weather is most nclement
"Doctoring" may pay better than pitching
hay, and if the country practitioners re-
presented simply the uneducated young
men who study medicine for what it is
worth, y our sympathies would he due not
to the doctor, but to his patients Tn
happily the former, and fortunately for
the latter so many good men are forced by
circumstances to practice in the country
that the standing of country doctors is far
higher then their meager recompense would
indicate.
There are also undesirable quarters in
most cities which afford paying practice
almost from the beginning, but it is diff
cult for physician thus located either to
grow into better practice or to sav9
enough to make fresh start. While the
country doctor may console himself with
the thought that without himself, or some
one in his place, much suffering would re
suit, the city resident is as needless as he
is is unfortunate for his patients could
easily send for one or many practitioners
within few blocks. No better advice can
be given to a young physician then Go
cate where you are willing to live"
Such choice of residence, however, in

English Officers In Foreign Service to Pro-
tcct Themselves.
In discussing the modern use of
armor by officers and men in the for
eign little wars" of to-day, an English
accoutrement maker, as reported by
London Tid-Bits, says: II give you nv
assurance that an immense number of
the officers of our army and navy who
go on foreign service, especially when
one of our little wars is expected, pro-
vide themselves with certain easily
recognized projections.
These, mind you, are well-known
articles of trade to the service. The
commonest and most usual type of these
projections consists of fine but beauti-
fully tempered single chains, inclosed in
in soft leather, which run along the
shoulders. down the outer side Of the
arms and over certain parts Of the
body. These can either be sewn into a
particular tunic or they can be adjusted
separately and put on like harness.
The most valuable of all chains, in con-
nection with accoutrements, are those
which guard the head, and in cases
where the regulation cap or helmet is
not sufficiently protected in this way,
specially made chains are sewn inside
the same and covered by the lining"

AT today's session of the probate
court. when the case Of the estate OF
Jane Wheatley comes up, there viii be
some startling evidence, perhaps. Mrs.
Wheatley died some months ago. and
recently Ellen Cook. one of the di-
rect heirs of the property, filed an ap-
plicatiOn for the appointment of sam
uel B. Westerield as administrator.
The hearing on the petition came on
yesterday and it was developed that
at some time In her life the deceased
was supposed to have made a will. 1t
appears that Mrs Dr. Murphy took
what purported to be a will. but which
was not signed to the office of A. V
Taylor for his opinion on the same
After this the petitioner in this mat
ter claims to have discovered in an old
Bible what purpOrted to be pieces of a
will. She pasted them together and
made complete document which
was also delivered to Taylor but has
been mislaid somewhere. At today's
hearing all these matters will come
up and viii be passed upon.
The property Of the deceased in this
city does not amount to a great deal.
but now comes the intelligence that
tHeTe IS some estate IN England which
may amount to considerable, and this
matter will be inquired into carefully.
Mrs Daily, one of the heirs. has sent
here a power of attorney from Aus
tralia. as to her interests. and it is
anticipated some Information from
that quarter may be anticipated soon.
Other orders in probate yesterday
were as follows:
In the estate and guardianship OF
Lauretta Frost. minor a hearing on
the order to show cause why order of
sale of real estate should not he
made, came on regularly and the
proof of publication and of posting no.

W. Carrigan. deceased, was continued
until today
An additional bond in the sum Of
S1,S00 was approved in the estate and
guardianship of William r. Collett, Al
minor.
The final account and distribution in
the estate of Thomas Goodman. de-
ceased, was allowed and approved.
An order of sale of personal prop
erty. as prayed for in the estate Of
