There are any number of good stories
floating about town which emanated
from the smart throng that for the past
three weeks has strolled about Copley
hall; but none is told with greater zest
than one heard one afternoon in front
of Justus Susterman's fascinating por-
trait of the young and handsome Duke
of Monmouth, lent by Mrs. Gardner,
which hung half way down the outer
wall of the large hall, and to which
many a Boston belle lost her heart.
It appears that Mrs. Gardner bought
this painting in Venice in an old pic
ture shop. giving the dealers orders not

ORIGIN or THE ROSE.
Queen of Flowers Is of Ancient Lineage
and Disting uished History.

Queen of Flowers Is of Ancient Lineage
and Distinguished History.
Some indication of the origin of the
rose, both in time and in country Is
probably given in it's name. This I'M
doubtedly comes to us through the
Latin from the Green ''rodop," a word
which is now agreed to be, in the wider
sense, oriental, not Greek. But to which
of the two great families of language
1t belongs Is less certain. Heyn main
tains 1t to be Iranian-that is of the
Aryan family-of the older tongue of
Persia and Bactria; and Persia might
unquestionably put forward strong
claims to be the true native country
OF the rose. But Professor Skeat, who
has the majority of modern authorities
on his side, declares it to be pure
Semitic Word-the Arabic ward" a
towering shrub, thus denoting the
flower of flower par excellence. 1t is
worth noticing that the Persian word
'guP' similarly meant at first only a
perfumed flower, but has come to be
used of the rose alone. Tut rosa flos
forum, sic est domnus ista domorum"
is the emphatic way in which the in
at York claims it as being the very
flower of architecture.
But theories, however, of the name
agree with all other indications that we
can trace in placing the original home
of the rose, much as that Of our earliest
forefathers, on the central or western
central district of Asia; but, instead
of spreading only in western direc-
ton, the rose took, apparently, more
catholic view of the earth, and expand
ed impartially east and west, without
showing any reluctance about longi-
tude, while disliking the more violent
changes Of temperature implied by ex-
tension of latitude. 1t has been found
by travellers as far south as Abyssinia
in one hemisphere and Mexico in the
other; but it never seems, voluntarily,
to come very near to the equator.
Northward, however, nothing seems to
stop it, since it has conquered Iceland,
Greenland and Kamtchatka.

ton that in some parts the natives are

The occurrences Of ice in the COM
paratively low ATTITUDES of Cape Horn
and the Falkland islands is easily ex-
planned, say the "Pall Mall Gazette"
The ice has originally formed part of
the great barrier which, with very few
breaks, surrounds the vast Antarctic
continent, rising to an average heighth
of from 1850 feet to 200 feet above, and
sinking from 1000 to 1,400 feet below
the level of the sea, and having, more
over, a thickness of something like
1000 feet or 1.500 feet. 1t is a solid per-
pendicular wall of ice, formed by the
descent over the low lands into the sea
of the ice and snow which forms on the
mountains inland, and when the fore
fronts are pushed into the depths of
about 300 or 400 fathoms large stretches
are broken off and float away north
ward with the current. When they
start on their aimless career they may
be miles in extent, and though, as a
rule, they break up by collision and
and erosion, it is not at all unusual
to encounter an island miles long in the
nefghborhood of the extreme ice limit
For instance, the Coldinghame in this
region passed about 200 bergs, one of
which was ten miles long. The Guilty

as they collide or are melted away at
the base by the action of the water,
they turn over and show to the wander

which simply beggar all description.
Naturally, as they travel further north,
they become smaller and still more
strangely shaped and ultimately melt

Then suddenly the firing ceased. The
soldier begged for grace and promised
to go wherever he was sent. Still the
captain continued the drill. When he
thought the lesson had been learned,
or perhaps, when his arm grew too
painful, he dismissed the soldier and

Everybody in England is talking
about the Kitson- Playfair case, and
talk about it in this country has good
start The case concerns the obligation
of physician to keep to himself GER
tain things that he may discover in his
practice AS a result of attending Mrs
Kitson, his sister law, during illness
DR.. Piayfair warned his wife not to as
sociate with her, and also induced Sir
James Kitson to cut off her annuity of
81, 500 a year. DR.. Playfair pleaded that
he had right to warn his family
against association with people of bad
character, but the judge-the well
known Justice Northumberland him
severely, the jury gave Mrs. Kitson
100000 damages, and the London pa
pers very generally say, served him
right" On the other hand number
of prominent physicians, including Sir
John Williams, physician to the royal
family, testified that it was within the
discretion of any physician to disclose
patients secret, if he deemed it his
duty for the protection of his wife or
family or the prevention of crime-a
contention which Justice Hawkins, in
charging the jury, characterized as
simply monstrous."
The astonishing thing about this case
is that there could be two opinions
about the action of DR.. Playfair. If
people cannot be safe with their physi
clans an honorable profession has been
sadly misunderstood. Fortunately they
can be, in most cases, and such case
as that under consideration will only
serve to make them safer. DR.. Playfair

journals of his own country, and he

Record says he did wrong. The Boston

nection it makes some interesting OBJ
servations in regard to the manner in
which the privileged communications
between a physician and his patient are
treated in our own country. So far as
our laws on the subject are concerned,
it is observed that there is an utter and
pernicious absence of uniformity in the
various States. In Massachusetts the
doctor is not protected by the court in
his refusal to reveal d professional Sc
cret. He may preserve his professional
honor untarnished and go to Jail for it.
In New York, on the other hand, and in
Michigan the doctor is not only protect
ed by the court in his refusal to betray
a professional secret, but punished if
he answers a question involving such
betrayal.
There should, of course, be uniform
ity of law concerning this important
matter, but law or no law, physicians
shouldn't betray their patients. Fortu-
nately, they don't very often.
