ANCIENT MEDICAL METHODS
The Manner of Doctors Consultations In

 Coming to Mondeville's exposition of the method of holding q discussion, we find his description almost story of what might take place today. First. s he says. we should inquire into the nature of the disease, examining care. fully and feeling; because the diagnosis l. made by touching with the hand and observing with the eye. All the consult ants engage in turn in the examination Then, if the cass demands 1t, they make q new examination all together, point ing out to one another the symptoms of disease and the special or remarkable features either in the patient or the dis ease. Then one of them the highest in rank, says to the patient, Sir, We per ceive very clearly what is the matter with you, and you ought to have full confidence in us and be glad that there are so many of HIS here and such doctors enough for king-and to believe that the youngest of us Is competent to pre- scribe and carry 0h your treatment and bring 1t Co a good result.

 When all the questions called for by the case have been asked, the con snltants retire to another room, where they will he alone, for i'll all consulta- tions the masters dispute with one an- other ill order the better to discuss the truth, and sometimes they come to pass ill tue heat of discussion which would cause strangers witnessing their proceeding 10 suppose there were discord and strife among them.

Aioanrt's Method.

Mozart < method of composition was such as could only have been pursued by child of genius. He would rise carly, eat a hearty breakfast and then stroll for several hours in forest near his home. where, inspired by natures beauties heavenly melodies came troop ing through his brain. Repairing to his cottage, he would summon his wife, a very witty woman, and bid her tell him stories He would then mount bis high stool and proceed to commit these inspirations to paper, his wife telling him jokes and funny stories while he wrote These he enjoyed immensely, frequently interrupting her with hearty bursts of laughter and sometimes even falling from the stool and rolling on the floor. But amid all this hilality and uproar the flow of music which was to move the world went steadily on. His productions were wrought without the least thought or study, hut came almost nnbidden direct from heaven. Like Shakespeare, he was purely the creature of inspiration, genius of the highest order. -C C. Hieatt i'll Housekeeper

EancN Jackets.

A topic that Is perennially interesting cannot be considered hackneyed; there fore a discourse concerning fancy jackets needs no apologies. It is on the books of fashion that we are to hear consider able about them for some time to come
 Motley is the only wear, says Shakes peale. The greatly varied fabrics intro- duced and the diversity shown ill their application render the word motley" as applied to the bolero, the Russian, French guard and similar fancy jackets entirely appropriate, or it least not in- apt. Just now, though looking quite chic and smart, these little garments for street wear, as has before been observed. appear quite insuficient as a substitute for heavy winter coat or cape. Being chamois lined, they ae, however, some what more protective than they look.
 Thc velvet blouses that fashion still affects cannot exactly lc called street wraps, but when becoming they are lca1ly Il letter though Il less novel choice than the bolero jacket Dark hped velvet blouseS are still worn witt handsome cloth skirts with both house and street costumes. Their simple, sc were style remains unchanged, elabora- fion being exercised in the ease of blouses of broeade. satin or similar light textiles. Modified mutton leg sleeves costly buttons and very narrow fur roll on the faring collar and cuffs form the sole decoration and frequently the shoWy buttons are omitted On theatel blonses of russian red. green, brown or black velvet q more ornate style is ob- Rervable. Tudor or Queen Bess ruffs are employed with additions of creamy lace plaitines or luches of mOusscline de soie, some of these having tiny clusters of perfumed violets in the heart of each full plait-New York Post.

 Besides considerable number Of large water power Installations Switzer- land Is full of small power plants, nearly every town in that land of mountains and waterfalls being wei supplied with power from the white coal, , as the melting snow on the mountain sides has well been called.
