Doctors or No Doctors.

Take haphazard a number Of people
Of both sexes and of all ages Divide
them into communities. Let the doc
tors of each nation have community to
themselves-this division would be in
dispensable because the difference which
exists between the treatment prescribed,
say, by French and by an English doc
cor, has to be experienced to be believed.
Let the allopathists, the homeopathists,
she hydropathists, the thousand and
one sets of medical faddists, all have a
community of their own. Give the nos
trum mongers free hands. Suffer the
faith healers to work, unimpeded, some
where, their own sweet will, and amid
the whole number of the communities
permit one to be set apart in which no
doctor Of any sort or kind, regular or
irregular, shall be allowed to place a
foot or have voice. If such a test were
feasible, wonder what the result would
be- Or, rather, 1 do not wonder
should like to have a wager depending
ON the issue.
would wager that, all things being
eQual-position, climate, circumstances,
constitution, ages-the physical history
of all those communities would be pretty
we'll Of muchness- They would all suf-
fer from the same diseases, would beat
them or be beaten by them, in much the
same way, and would die at about the
same age OF this am certain-and il
this believe that the physicians them
selves would be upon my side-that the
medically supervised communities would
be every whit as closely acquainted with
pain, disease and suffering before the
curtain finally fell as that one commu-

Decayed Wood Breeds ANITA.

An amateur gardener has had great
deal Of trouble, year after year, with a
certain bed in her flower garden. 1t was
30 infested by ants that nothing could
grow there, but was invariably devoured
by the insects She tried every vermin
destroyer known, with boiling water and
other preventives, all without success
At length she found that a portion Of the
outer boarding Of the shed which stood
near this bed was decayed and needed
renewal When thee boards were taken
away, they were found to be alive with
ants, which, being destroyed, disappear
ed from her flowers, and she has had no
more annoyance from them. Often ants
will get into the house closets and into
the food in the same way from some de-
cayed wood near at hand, in which they
nest. If their source is looked up when
they come they usually may be unearth-
ed and killed

Importance Of the Exchange Reader.

The man who reads the exchanges IT.
i very important man, and, let me say,
TOO, he Is a pretty highly paid man. lie
has TO read, we viii say, 5000 papers
regularly. All the newspapers in the
country come into the Office, and he does
not do anything else He sits at his desk
all day, and a pile of newspapers. or,
say, cord Of newspapers, is laid before
him every morning He starts to work
and turns them over and over to see
what is in them He has to know what
it is that should be taken from them
and put into his paper. What is the in
seresting story? 1t requires judgment to
know this. 1t requires knowledge and
experience as we'll as talent 1t also re
quires a sense of humor, because there
are a great many things that are really
important that may not seem so at the
first glance, and the newspaper reader
has got to judge about that. He must
always be on hand and spend a great
many hours at his desk, and he is pretty
tired when he gets through with his
day task. 1t is hard duty, but he has
lots of amusement, and, as / said, he is
very well paid. So he is happy. Charles

The above comedy company, corr

gave performance at the opera
house last evening, which delighted
al present. Many of the features
were excellent and elected round
after round OF applause. The banjo
song and dance by Smith and John
son has seldom been equaled in Pine
Blun. The Serpentinc dance by Mrs.
Ida Lee Wright, merited the ap-
plause she received. The slack wire

extremely good. And jas. White,

The People OF Seville.

The people were as gay as the town;
too gay, too commercial, too modern,
NJ. Maurice Barres thought Seville,
Spain. But, fortunately, / was quite
prosaic enough to delight at the time
in it's constant movement and noise and
life. The Sierpes during the day was
the center of their gayety - Seville's
Corso or Broadway or Piccadily. TWAS
here the hottest hours were spent. I'm
der it's awnings it was like pleasant
court; for, though peasants might pass
with their donkeys, no cart or carriage
could ever drive through. In the clubs
on each side, their facade nothing but
one open window, rows of chairs were
always turned toward the street, and
always held an audience as entertaining
as it was willing to be entertained. The
same people who in the evening filed
the Plaza Nueva, there to listen to the
music, sauntered in and out of tho
shops, where you could buy the latest
French novel or the photograph of the
favorite matador. But of this multi
tude of loungers, none seemed to have
anything to do except to become vio-
lcntly interested the minute j. tried to
sketch.-Elizabeth r. Pennell, in Gems

MEN WHO BUY NOT.
The Reason Newsdealers Use Rubber
Bands on Magazines for Sale.

The Reason Newsdealers Use Rubber
Bands on Magazines for Sale.
The man who gets up carly in the
morning SO he can have look at his
neighbours paper before the rightful
owner has chance to take it from his
doorstep does not stand very high in
the estimation of the newsdealer. This
is because he spoils trade.
There is another man, however, who
Is even more cordially detested by the
vender of periodicals. He IS the fellow
who never buys anything, but has the
habit of dipping intothe weekly papers
and magazines. The keeper of a news
stand makes a tempting display of his
stock, for he knows that strong pic
ture or even pretty cover often brings
him a stray customer, but he expects
the mere looker-on to be content with
this much, and he is likely to frown
upon the man who resorts to all kinds
of schemes in order to get a peep at the
inside pages.
The stands in the ferry houses and
railway stations suffer the most from
these penurious cranks, for there is
nothing else to attract their attention
while they are waiting for boat or
train. They run through the leaves OF
the latest books and magazines, and
have been known to draw the tacls out
of papers nailed up against the stand,
so that they could see what was on the
other side of the sheet. But it is not
what they could see and read for moth
ing that worries the newsdealer. Hc
would be willing to put up with that IL
1t did not injure his stock. Indeed, he
would much rather have a man take up
magazine bodily and carefully exam
inc every page than to have him grab IL
by one corner and bend all the leaves in
surreptitious attempt to see the pic
lures. He would also rather have you
ask him to hand you periodical than
to have you shove his stock all out of
line while trying to see half the page
that is hidden by pile of other papers.
So great has this nuisance become
that the newsdealers have had to adopt
schemes for their own protection. The
most successful, so far as preventing
the leaves from being turned, consists
of placing a rubber band around the
top and bottom of the magazine and
placing it on the top of each pile.-N.
