will be seen that Sir Dyce Duckworth
condemned Sir w. b. Richardson, Sir
w. T. Stoker condemned Sir Dyce
Duckworth and both agreed in con-
demning DR.. Kingsbury. Having int
partially considered the conflicting
views as to medical etiquette with
which the court was thus favored, the
Jury came to the conclusion that DIR.
Kingsbury's professional character had
been unjustly aspersed and awarded
him $50 damages.
1t has always seemed to me that
there is a good deal of humbug about
the objections of the bigwigs of the
medical world to advertising. Nearly
all are guilty of the practice hem
selves In one way or another, and some
are as eager for a newspaper puff as the
v~eriest quack. What an interesting
revelation there would be, for instance,
if the editors of my daily contempora-
ries were to disclose the sources of the
paragraphs which appear whenever
some more or less distinguished per-
sonage is i'll, and the name of his doc
tor can be insidiously given the benc-
fit of a little publicity! But, somehow,
the heads of the profession have got
hold OF the idea that what may be right
and proper on their part may be wrong
and unprincipled on the part of hum
bier practitioners. The attacks which
are made upon the latter whenever
they are supposed to violate the propri-
cites of the profession by advertising
will. however, be somewhat risky after
this Manchester case.-London Truth

GLADSTONE SCORED LAST.

Two Tried to Down
Him, But He Fooled Them.
There is a story about Mr.. Gladstone
which is going the round of the London
clubs.
The G. o. NJ, as everyone knows. ia a
most voracious reader. There is hardly
a subject, from Egyptology TO Jap
anese music, about which he does not
know something. When he dimes out
he generally dominates the table to the
exclusion of every other speaker.
This is all very we'll for those who are
listeners, but people who like to talk
themselves find Mr. Gladstone and his
knowledge peculiarly exasperating. He
always knows more about everything
than they do themselves, and they
speedily find the only thingleftfo them
when he is present is to relapse into
silence.
\ short time ago Mr.. Gladstone was
one of a house party at Lord IS. In
the company were also two noted diners
out and conversationalists, who gencT-
ally took it,for granted, wherever they
went, that they would be called upon as
the entertainers of the party.
Imagine their disgust, then, when
they found that Mr.. Gladstone left them
never a chance to distinguish them
selves. On one and every topic they
found themselves beaten, and the old
gentleman had it all his own way on
every occasion.
They stood it for some time, and then
determined that flesh and blood could
tolerate this state of things no longer.
Usually rivals on this occasion, they
buried the Ratchet and determined on a
course of concerted action. They took
the Encyclopedias Britannica and ar
ranged to read up some out-of'the-way
subject about which h G.. o. NJ. would
be sure to know nothing. They care
fully read all that was to be known
about the matter-we will call it
Chinese metaphysics-and the next day
at dinner skillfully steered the CONVEX
sation into the desired channel.
And then they proceeded to exhibit
their abstruse learning. They disagreed
with each other, quoted ~contending au-
thorities, compared, criticised and
talked t. their hearts content. The
company sat open-mouthed at this dis
play of profundity. The G.. o. NJ. was
silent.
But when it was all over, and the con-
s~pirators were congratulating them
selves on having outwitted Mr.. Glad
stone for once, he turned to n of
them and quietly remarked:
"Ah, Mr.. -, 1 see you have been
reading an article in the Encyclopaedia
Britannica on this subject that I wrote"
The two gentlemen packed up their
belongings and left the next day.-N.

Founder of tho Red Cross Society.

DR.. Henri Dunant, who, jointly with
his friend and fellow citizen, Moynier,
chairman of the Society of Public Util-
ity at Geneva, founded the Red Cross
society, is living almost universally for
gotten in the hospice of Heiden, in the
Swiss canton of A%ppenzell. 1t was the
horror and disgust with which he con-
templated the terrible scenes that at
tended or Immediately followed the bat
tie of Solferino, June PA, 1859, that first
moved him to make an appeal to the
nations to take common action for the
protection OF the sick and wounded in
war. Baffled for n long time by oppo-
sition or Indifference, DIR. Dunant's eff
forts were at length rewarded by the
conclusion, in August, 1864, of the Gene
va convention and the institution of the
Red Cross society. 1t is not doubted
hat statues will be erected to Dunant
after his death, but can nothing be
done, ask his friends, to impart a little
more comfort into what still remains to
him of life? -Chicago Inter Ocean,

HATED TO HEAR COUGHING.
Unique Texas Character with Many
Equally Strange Fads-

Unique Texas Character with MANY
Equally Strange Fads.
There have been but few more
uniquef figures among the many that IA
given fame to Texas than the late Col.
II. NJ. Page, who added a most unPleas-
ant phase to the notoriety he had long
possessed by killing, a little more than
a year ago, his business associate, A.
B., Smith. They were both officers OF
the defunct Merchants national bank
and had, prior to the murder, been in
volved in a shooting ARRAY in the bank,
in which Page was slightly wounded
with a bullet from his own pistol, which
Smith took from him in the scuffie
There were no witnesses to the killing
of Smith, and Page was acquitted,
though the trial cos him a large sum of
money.
Not more than a year after the killing
of Smith, Page, stricken by paralysis,
followed his victim into the unknown
beyond. Col. Page had long been a
most extensive dealer in lumber, the
owner of mills, h purchaser of the
output of others and the seller at one
time of all the lumber made in a large
part of eastern Texas. He was a soil
tary, morose man, of violent passions
and with a mania on one subject.
His antipathy to expectoration,
coughing, or that peculiar sound made
by persons in clearing the throat called
hawking, vas so violent that it was a
mania. However innocent the offender,
nearly everyone so offending, unless
there was very plainly reason for dis
erection, was the victim of personal as
sault and much more frequently vi
Imperative abuse from Col. Page, who,
raging as a mailman, insisted that such
acts were intended al personal insults.
This infirmity, coupled, perchance, with
an unnatural disposition, made him Il
solitary man, and certainly one dreaded
by allswho had business with him.-St.
Louis Republic.

PERSONAL AND IMPERSONAl.

MIR. .Gladstone's voice shows nc
his eyes when the old man is talking
he feels hat he is being addressed by
n man in the prime of life.
Queen Victoria has just been pre-
scented with n fine collection of blue
and white water lilies which were sent
her from New South Wales. The lilies
were frozen in ice, and when received
were in perfect condition,
There was II good deal of sound hui
man nature in the unexpected reply
of the dying old woman to her min
listers leading question; Here at the
end ola long life, which of the Lords
mercies are you most thankful for?"
Her eyes frightened as she answered:
my victuals."
Lord Houghton's sister was often
annoyed at her brothers indiscriminate
hospitality. DO you remember, my
dear" he asked her at dinner one day,
whether that famous ~scopndrel y.
was hanged OF acquitted?" "He must
have been hanged, or you would ave
had him to Inner long ago." replied
the lady.
Prof. Heinrich Fellmath, of Mu-
mich, has started the hobby of collect

n monthly bulletin, "Trambilletsport,"
the object of which is to give pictures
of tickets used for street car fare in

Miss Mamie Dickens, the eldest
daughter of the great novelist, makes
her home at quaint old Dunton rcctory,

The love of flowers, which with her

in that beautiful country. Her real
life work consists in ministering to the
poor and sick and needy.
President Kruger, of the South

ETIQUETTE AMONG PHYSICIANS.
Anomalous and Absurd Requirements of
the Medical Code of Ethics.

the Medical COd of Ethics.
The anomalies, absurdities and mys-
teries of medical professional etiquette
with regard to advertising are strik-
ingly and amusingly illustrated by an
action which was tried at Manchester
assiZes the other day Damages for
libel were claimed by DR.. Kingsbury,
of Blackpool, against a medical jour
nal which had charged him with con-
duct wholly incompatible with the
honor and dignity of the profession"
and held him up to medical reproba-
ton" for allowing himself to be al
vertised as the physician of two hydro
pathic establishments. For the plain
tiff several medical witnesses ev-
pressed the opinion that he n done
nothing unprofessional. For the de-
Tense several other members of the
profession took the opposite view, and
it was in the cross-eXamination of two
of these gentlemen that the fun came
in.
The first of them was Sir Dyce Duck
worth. The plaintiffs counsel put to
him the fact that Sir B. w. Richardson
was advertised as consulting physi-
clan of an institution in Leicestershire.
Sir Dyce disapproved of this. It was
then pointed out that the witness own
name, and his private address, APP
peared on the widely circulated pros
pectus of an insurance company to
which he was consulting physician. To
that Sir Dyce could see NJ objection.
The next witness was Sir w. T. Stoker.

FUN FOR THE CHILDREN.

How to Make Them Merry at a Party Ar
ranged Entirely for Themselves.
Rightly managed children's parties
are never a mistake. But let them be
parties for real children-not for mani
kins, aping the airs and graces of grown
men and The best hours are
from twelve to four, with lunch at one,
or from two to six, with supper at half
past five.
The refreshments should be plain and
judiciously chosen. 1t is a poor compli-
ment to the mother to invite her child
to a party and let it so overeat itself
with food not appropriate to it that
the physician must be summoned the
next day. A very pretty menu for chill
dren, either for lunch or supper, is
boulion, thinly-sliced cold turkey or
chicken, the white meat only; delicate
ham sandwiches, tiny biscuits, thin
bread and butter, cocoa, cake, ice cream
and fruit.
Children never tire of peanut hunts
with prizes for the fortunate finder of
the largest number, o of the donkey
tackled to the wall and sadly minus a
tail waiting for the midgets to pin one
on in just the right spot. The last state
of that donkey is often worse than the
first, for when the bandages are taken
off, much TO the merriment of the chill
dren, he is discovered bristling with
tails pinned to his eyes, his nose, his
feet, his ears-everywhere, in short, ex-
cept where the caudal ~appendage
rightly belongs.
Newer, and therefore desirable, is Aunt
Sally smoking her pipe. This is
dummy dressed to represent an old
colored woman smoking her pipe, ,shrdl
colored woman with a pipe in her
mouth. The children are furnished
with small rubber balls and have three
shots at the pipe.
A large brown paper bag ornamented
with a covering of colored tissue paper,
or with figures cut from colored papers
and pasted on is filled with peanuts and
small articles, such as single candies
wrapped in motto papers, English wal
nuts wrapped in %tinfoil, and anything
that looks bright and pretty and is not
heavy. This is hen tied to the gas
fixtures, almost, but not quite beyond
the reach of the children, who are
with sticks and canes and they
must try to break it. The breaking of
the bag is a signal for a grand scramble,
which the party breaks up.-St.
Paul Globe.
