AS AN ARMY RATION.

''Take it altogether" said the old SOL
der, 81 think liked beans the best of the
army ratons. Hard bread, of course, was
essential, and we expected to get anyway,
but am speaking now of the comparative
luxuries on the army bill OF fare. | should
prefer corned beef if that issued in the army
had been uniformly of desirable quality
But often it was Of hardness more like
that of quartz and of saltiness past belief
by those who have never tried it.
''Salt pork-well, fat salt pork, even of
the best quality, is not desirable as a steady
diet of food, and we got more salt pork
than any other meat, and it was most
always not of the best In fact, no old
soldier will ever forget the salt pork of the
army. But his recolections of it will not
be surrounded by an aurora borealis of de-
light.
''Not everybody liked beans but accord
ing to my notion they were the best of the
army rations, all things considered II we
had piece of pork to put in the kettle, so
much the better. But we had salt anyway,
and bean soup, with hard bread to break
into it, and cup of coffee made meal
that had decided elements Of hopefuness
in it.
at is true that sometimes when we had
beans day after day for days together some
of the men would get tired of them. But
you would grow tired of ortolans wouldn't

EARLY DOCTORS.

During the last century in America the
medical education of a young student was
generally what he picked up by serving as
an appretce to some noted practitioner
with many mental affairs, says the Ameri-
can Magazine. He ground the powders
mixed the pills, rode with the doctor on his
rounds, held the basin when the patient
was bled, helped to adjust the plasters, sew
wounds and run with walls of medicine
from one end of town to the other. 1t was
white day when such a young man en-
joyed the rare good fortune of dissecting a
half putrid arm. So great, indeed, was
the difficulty OF obtaining anatomical sub
jects that the medical school of Harvard
College made a single body do duty for
whole year.
Under such circumstances, the doctors
knowledge was practical, and derived from
personal experience rather than from books.
The advantages of study were sparngly en-
ioyed. Few physicians boosted of library
of fifty volumes.
His apprenticeship ended the student
returned to his native town to assume the
practice of medicine. At that period, with
the exception of the minister and the Judge,
the doctor was the most important person.
age in his community. His genial face,
his engaging manners, the sincerity with
which he inquired after the carpenters
family of the poorest laborer, made him
the favoIite for miles around. He knew
the names and personal history of the occu-
pants of every house he passed. The farm
ers' lads pulled off their hats to him, and
the girls dropped courtesies as he passed.

A business man accustomed to hard work

the average worker. A successful Chicagoan

A BUSINESS-LIKE PROPOSAL.

\ good story is told of an English minis

We may call him Smith, and he was Il
bachelor. lie resisted many persuasions to

of ripe years, was strongly recommended
to him, and his friends again urged that he
had better get married. representing that
the lady named would not refuse to accept
him, Notwithstanding his eccentricities

On that day he appeared at the door of

A newly married man of my acquaintance
who evidently needs discipline, thus dis
courses: "a woman is handy thing to
have about the house. She does not cost
any more to keep than you'll give her, and
she'll take great interest in you. If you go
out at night, she'll be awake when You get
home, and then she'll tell YOU all about
yourself, and more, too. OF course she
will know where you have been, and what
kept you out late, and after telling her, she
won't believe you, but you mustn't mind
that, and if after going to bed, she says she
hasn't closed her eyes for the night, and
then keeps up her conversation two hours

miles in the darkest night over the worst
of roads, in a pelting storm, to administer
child in fit.
The drugs were slowed away on the
shelves of the village store, among heaps Of
shoes, Rohan hats, packages of seeds and
tlitches of bacon.
The physician was compelled to COM
pound his own drugs, make his own tine
lures and put up his own prescriptions.
His saddle bag was the only drug store
within forty miles. Each spring the blood
must be purified, the kidneys excited, and
the damsel who tainted profusely bled.

barb and molasses taken daily. 1t was safe
to say that more medicine was taken every
year by the we'll than is now taken by the
sick in the same time.
Water was denied the patient tormented
with fever. In its stead was given a small
quantity of clam juice. Mercury was taken
until the lips turned blue and the gums
fell away from the teeth.
The writer has a vivid recollection, when
about years old, in raging fever, plead
ing for water, the nurse handed the pitcher
and the child satisfied her burning thirst.
Her brother, overhearing what was going
on, rushed into the room, exclaiming: "You
will kill her." But it was too late.
