son Of n poor but intelligent village
pope, or priest. who titled his glebe to
feed and clo,he his large family Of
daughters and this only son, 10 whom
he still found time to impart the rudi-

sickly and lonesome boy, cut off fro.o
all playfellows by his ascetic Though

to manhood in bitter poverty, having
sometimes literally nowhere to lay his
head. Yet, in spite of all obstacles, he
became distinguished scholar. n versa

Unhappily for naval scieuce-happiiy
for all other interests-experience dur.
ing the 40 years of the life Of modern
warships has been rare and inconclusive.
The effect is that the opinion of naval
architects and naval officers is left halt
ing between experiment and experience.
And the very infrequency of actual
lighting at sea during period in which
the navies Of the world have been COM
pletely transformed is liable to lead TO
q one sided or vastly exaggerated esti-
mate of the historical data at our di,-
posal. There is tendency to exalt the
weapon which has proved its efficiency
most lately into the one ponderable
factor beside which all others NAV be
neglected.
The school Of experiment needs correc-
ton. but the school Of experience often
lacks balance. 1t is apt to forget that
the experience which it generalizes is
always fragmentary and often irrele-
want Thus, after the American civil
war, with its Merrimac and its Moni-
tor, armor became the one thing need
full. After LISA, because Tegethoff hap-
pened to sink the Re d'Italia, the ram
was to be the deciding factor in all fu-
ture combats. The engagements ON the
Danube and Black sea coast in 1877 ana
1878 brought about similar apctheosis
of the torpedo. And the China-Japa.
nese war is likely to SOW as confident a
conviction that the navy which has
quick firing artillery and high speed
has every necessary element of force to
secure an impregnable supremacy

1t is Of course impossible to state ex.
tctly what part noise in New York city
plays in the death rate and the sick
list. t-i every physician knows it must
be considerable. Often the physician
in his daily rounds finds it necessary
to prescribe perfect quiet" in order
That the Pickering spark of life re.
naming in the patient may be brough:
back to q healthy flame. yet in nine
cases out Of ten that perfect quiet hc
deems so important cannot be had
owing to the noise from the street Es-
pecially is this true in warm weather,
when windows must be kept open.
The makers Of unnecessary noise in
New York are not confined to any one
class. AL are more or less guilty, from
the church people to the organ grinder
and the street pcddler. Any one who
studies this subject and observes care
fully will be astonished and disgusted
ut the reckless disregard of each for the
health, peace and comfort of all others.
If you should go for a walk in Fifth
avenue on a fine afternoon and all sorts
and conditions of people were TO begin
to assault you with switches, you would
call the police. They would be prompt

What for? They have not killed you Ut
MANNED You or drawn any blood, ard
you are apparently none the worse for
these assaults. What they have done is
to irritate the nerve determinations of one
OF your five senses-viz-, that Of touch,
or the tactic sense, and through the
nerves of this sense they have made you
conscious Of painful sensations. This is
exactly the treatment you do receive
from these same people by their un-
necessary assaults on another sense
viz, that Of hearing. But should you
ask the authorities to interfere in this
case, you would likely be arrested your.

efearef in tnat particular block because
some peculiarity or influence presented
itself there. At first the tentacles Of
thought grasped nothing definitely, but
as the pain departed from the affected
loot, the powers Of vision took hold and
the result was q revelation.
As in many great discoveries and rev.
Citations, the cause Of the effect was very
simple-the sidewalk had been graded
from the house line to the curb for good
drainage. and as the incline was q few
degrees more there than in many places
1t was natural that any one walking
there should tend slightly toward the
curb The friction of the soles Of the
shoes on the sidewalk. being greater
than the friction of the feet on the in
ner eoles of the shoes. the weight of the
body caused the feet to slide sidewise
in the shoes. The effects on the feet
were different, and the painful effect in
one foot and then the other depended
ON the direction in which the sufferer
walked. When the right foot was
toward the curb, its small toe was
pressed against the leather and tortured,
while the left foot by maintaining a
level, the worn edge Of the left shoe be-
ing about equal to the degree Of the i'll
cline, had very light pressure on either
eide. Guided by the revelation, the suf-
ferer trod carefully thereafter and kept
clear of slanting sidewalks as frequent
ly as possible, bat in time he was COM
PEELED to acknowledge that the periods
of relief from pain were far apart, be-
cause the rule is that sidewalks should
slant toward the gutter, and the rule is
followed generally, and he realized that

Physicians who havo long list Of bills
owing to them by patients should take
q lesson from the new leaf some French
doctors have turned over. In the depart
ment of Herault the physicians are
joining in q pledge that they will not
attend any patients who arc able to pay
and will not do SO. To protect them
selves each doctor makes list Of his
own particular dcadbeat patients. The
lists are collected and printed i'll book
called the "Black Book. - All any ply
stefan has to do when he receives an un-
known case will be to consult his black
book and. dismiss the dishonest person
without treatment. Even when they take
refuge in charity dispensaries the names
Of the deadheats will still stand against
them, and their only recourse will be to
change their names. That cannot easily
be done in France, where the registra-
ton of vital statistics is more exact
than anywhere else in the world. On
the whole, it looks as if under this sys.
tenn physicians would not annually lose
from half to one-third Of the money
that is justly owing to them.
