CHOOSING A DOCTOR.

A medical authority who may be pre-
sumcd to understand the true inward
ness of the profession has lately pub
lished some advice about the selection
of family physician, declaring such a
choice to be very important matter,
often undertaken in the most haphazard
way.
The following "dont's" are given:
Don't choose an Incorporate physician;
don't choose one who has not the re-
spect of his colleagues; don't tolerate
one who is constantly singing mud at
his brethren; don't believe the claims
of one who has to hire hall or COL
umn in newspaper that the world
may learn of his triumphs; don't choose
the man who is professional.
In choosing specialist or consultant
it is well to be guided by the advice
ofLJthe family physician, who, if be be
honorable and broad7minded, will cheer
fully acquiesce in your desire to have
the assistance of some one of his col
leagues. If he becomes offended or as
sumes an injured air at the hint that
he is not the only member of his pro-
fession the sooner his vanity receives
a few hard knocks the better.

Another Naples fish story follows:
Mrs. Hugh Mcdonald was fishing for
sharks. She had a bite. On pulling in,
the head of shark that had been at
least four feet long was found. Some
shark had bitten the first capture in
two. Later the big fellow was hooked
by Mrs. Mcdonald and was pulled in.
The second shark was more than Is

IRON AND STEEL.


The first successful furnace for smelt-
ing iron ore with anthracite coal was
built in Pennsylvania in 1888.
Swedish iron has wide reputation
in the arts. The best, it is said, is OBJ
tanned from the mine Of Dannemora.
Iron is not the only metal which can
be welded, but no metal possesses this
property in SO high degree.
1t is said by an historical authority
that the average life of an iron rail is
l6 years; that of a steel one, 40 years.
Many doctors believe that iron, med
ically considered, is sort of food and
is given with best effect at meal times.
The tonnage of the iron and steel
ships built in the United States was
greatest in 1891, when Il was 105,61s
