Have You Investigated?
The Standing ofthe Doc
tor Or Doctors You
Employ.
Be Careful of Medical Institutes
Especially Those whose Proprietor
Dares Not Publish His Own
Name

On Saturday October 2, the Copper
Country Evening NEWS published re-
print OF the st. Louis Republic headed,
Trade in bogus diplomas; boguscolleges
grant fraudulent medical certificates;
hundreds posing as physicians who are
not entitled to practice, nearly all hold.
ing these diplomas are ignorant OF the
rudiments OF medicine
The article further goes on to state
that there are two of these bogus col (
leges now domiciled in Illinois. Up TO a |
few months ago there was another hold |
ing charter from the State OF Wiscon-
sin, but in consequences OF the removal oil
its headquarters to illinois the charter
has been forfeited at the instigation OF
the State officials.
Long before the above article appeared
in the local papers have we warned the
people OF the copper country OF the IN
scrupulous men who are rracticing med
icine; there are thousands of them scat
tered throughout this country, who make
living by praying upon the sick and
afflicted; we have long warned the people
to be careful whom they employ as their
physician, as he may be one who has
either bought or stolen piece OF paper,
and after filing in his name, calls tia
diploma.
in every walk of life, in every trade
and in every profession we find some
who are an honor to.their fellow work
ers while others are a disgrace. But in
no other instance can one 30 hoodwink
the public az in the medical profession.
Before entrusting your medical adviser
with your money, health or secrets, be
sure that he il Il physician or il connect
ed with reputable medical institute;
avoid all medical institutes whose propri
etor dares not use his own name and
never having graduated from medical
college, ia obliged to hide his identity by
advertising the name OF some one as
chief consulting ply stefan Of his institute.
The people OF the copper country have
been feeced so often by these sharks, that
we deem it our duty to caution them to
be on their guard.
Be careful to whom you entrust your
lives; investigate the standing and rep
utation OF the head of the concern or in.
stitute with whom you do business; we
want to be investigated; the.head OF our
concern is graduate from one Of the
leading medical colleges OF New York; ht
is registered at Houghton and in almost

The Age Of Needles.

There is reason to believe that needles
were known to the ancient Romans and
by them used from very early date. The
Hebrew, Chinese and Hindoo records fur
nish abundant evidences that they also
were familiar with this useful implement.
1t is not remarkable that none has been
discovered. as the quality of steel of which
they are made will not resist the coroding
influence of the atmosphere. The Moors
taught the SPaniards how to make needles,
and to Spain England owes her knowledge
of this important bit Of handicraft. For
many years, however, the manufacture OF
needles in England was in the hands OF
foreigners, who guarded the secrets of their
trade with the most jealous care. 1t was
not until the year 1860 that this industry
became of any great commercial impor'
lance in England. New York Ledger.

THE IVORY PLANT.
Some Interesting Facts About This Useful
South American Tree.


The ivory plant is found in South Amer
lea. 1t produces the nuts known as mar
fl vegetal, or vegetable ivory 1t belongs
TO the palm family, has graceful crown of
long, pinnate leaves of pale green color,
and beautiful, fragrant flowers Some OF
the ivory plant flowers do not have both
stamens and pistils, but, like our willows.
one plant bears only staminal flowers
while another bears only pistillate ones
They have the same general appearance,
however and differ only in the form and
the arrangement of the flowers.
One plant produces great number of
staminal flowers on a cylindrical axis and
the other produces a few pistillate ones
that spring from the end of the stalk The
fruit is produced from the pistillate flow
ers and consists of six or seven drupes
forming large clusters. Each drupe has
six or seven compartments and each COM
partment contains from six 70 nine seeds.
In commercial parlance, the seeds are
known as vegetable ivory, and out OF
them are fashioned knobs reels toys and
many other things, both useful and orna-
mental.
Many of the ivory buttons and fancy
boxes in daily use which are supposed TO
be made from the tusks of the elephant
are the product of the ivory plant. At
first the seeds contain clear, insipid
fluid After a time this fluid becomes
sweet and of milky appearance, and then
changes by degrees until it becomes as
hard as ivory.
1t is singular fact that this hard,
ivorylike mass returns to its former soft
state in the process of termination, ano
the young plant is for some time depend
ent upon it for sustenance. If the seed b'
taken out of the ground after the plant
has appeared, in it may be found a sub
stance, half pulp and half milk, on which
the plant lives until it is old enough t.
| obtain nourishment for itself.
| The full grown plant has stemless ap
pearance, because the foliage and the frui
are too heavy for the comparatively slen
der trunk, and the plant is thus pulle'
down to the ground, where it lies like
large exposed root.-Philadelphia Times.

Lord Wolseley, commander In chief OF
the British army, says:
"In future it would be madness and
crime. to order any man to carry colors

der him to be assassinated. The Germans
carry the poles on which the colors used to

conditions of fighting, was invaluable In

THE Willy PRESS AGENT.
Sources Whence He Draws Strange Stories
of His Stars.

Two well dressed men stood in the lobby
of an up town hotel last evening and dis
cussed the tricks i'm their avocation. Both
were press agents for shows. The taller
one was Charlie Dow, a distant relative of
the noted preacher Neal Dow. Chewing
the end of his cigar and leaning heavily
on his gold headed cane, Mr.. Dow made
few remarks little more coherent than
those attributed to Mr.. Jingle of Pickwick
fame.
"You see, it is no easy job to write jokes
and pathetic stories every day about the
star" he said 1--WE tried it season after
season, and 1 tell you it makes the imag-
ination tired. Do you know keene, the
tragedian?"
Edmund Kean died nearly a hundred
years ago, he was reminded.
''Oh, / mean Tom Keene, the one and
only Thomas who is a square man and a
good tragedian. Do you know he is full
of fun and very democratic. Well, used
to try and get good stories from him every
day, but he never cared two straws about
giving them Best story L ever got from
him was merely by accident We were all

The coming season will be lively
one for Washington society. The time
consumed in entertaining public men at
the capital has been increased yearly
until it is no small part of the work OF a
cabinet officer or congressman to meet
his social engagements. The reason for
the Washington social organization is
easily understood. 1t is part of the
duty of the foreign ministers to pro-
mote friendship and increase trade with
the people to which they ore accredited.
