Garfield's Job on the Canal.

Edward H. Vries, the man who gave
Garfield his first job on the canal, is
now living in Akron, Ohio. He told to
James R. Garfield the other day the
story Of how he came to hire the
future president. This is Vries' story.
We were pulling through Ravenna,
Ohio, on the old Pennsylvania canal
when a lad accosted me and wanted
a job. Needing driver engaged him.
1t was Garfield, and under his arm he
carried his earthly possessions-a bun
die of clothing. He was a faithful,
willing worker. When we reached
Cleveland he hesitatingly asked me for
enough money to buy a book he had
seen. The title was "a Self-Made
Man." I advanced the price, holding
the amount out Of his wages. 1t was

An Old Bronze Cannon of Spanish
Make Going to Destruction !!

An Old Bronze Cannon of Spanish
Make Going to Destruction.
An old bronze cannon of Spanish
make lies on the beach at Alameda
Point, half sunken in the sand. The
tide buries it continually deeper, and:
soon, if left there to the effacement Of
the seas, it will be lost to sight and to
memory.
And yet this particular cannon, with
out doubt, was one Of the two. that
rang out across the bay the first ar
tillery salute that bay ever heard. This
salvo was fired in September, 1776,
precisely 119 years ago. 1t was to Gel
citrate the completion of Preside, on
which the soldiers of Moraga had been
working nearly a year. Just beyond
the point was anchored the ship San
Carlos-frst to enter between the pill
Jared gates Of San Francisco bay-and
her guns answered the uproar from
the land.
In the Preside there is now only one
piece of Spanish ordnance. Its COM
panion is across the bay in a wood
pile. where the high tide covers it.
When and how the gun was taken
from it's old stand is mater of spec
ulation. It is thought. however, that
several years ago Capt Zalinski, who
was then evolving designs for his
dynamite gun, had it taken from one
Of the forts to Alameda Point and used
it for experimental purposes. Guns
beside which it stood 100 years ago
now occupy places of honor 1t is for
gotten. The North Pacific Coast rail-
road runs within twenty feet of the
place where it lies, and the labor OF
transferring it to the place from which
1t was taken would be very slight

STARVING PARIS DOCTORS.

Not Enough Patients. and the Free
Hospitals Cut Into the Practice OF
Many Really Good Physicians.
A double suicide which shocked Paris
the other day, brought to the attention
Of the public the financial straits in
which, it is said, the majority of the
physicians Of that city live. DIR. Ar
maud de Langaird, an old physician
who had been decorated by the gov
eminent for brave conduct during the
cholera epidemic many years ago, COM
mitted suicide, with his wife, because
his practice had dwindled to the van
lshing point and starvation was star
ing him in the face.
In commenting upon the tragedy,
several newspapers asserted that in
Paris not more than one doctor out of
five is able to make more than the
barest living. Among the causes of
this poverty among physicians is the
restitution of most Of their patients.
Medical science has made such great
strides, too, that maladies of all sorts
are more quickly cured, and such pre-
cautions are taken to prevent the
spread Of contagious diseases that cpl
denies are becoming practically IN
known. The number Of doctors, on
the other hand, has rapidly increased.
Another reason why there is not prac-
tice enough to so around is that in
many of the hospitals people can be
treated for a very nominal figure.
Many of these hospitals have training
schools which are free, in which are
taught the rudiments of medicine and
surgery. These schools are largely at
tended, and many sick people are TAX
en- in hand at their own homes by
some member of the family who has
benefited by this Instruction.
