gram which should have appeared in
connection with the first explanation
published for the benefit of those who
may not have read the first article.
We print in full as follows:
Bring up your chairs and try a
game of Waterloo" Cut out the dia-
gram published below and paste it
firmly to a stiff piece of cardboard
or play on it as it is. The game, which
has been invented for our boys and
girls, is exceedingly simple, but when
you have learned it you will find it
much more interesting than backgam-
mon or checkers. If any of you are
to give an evening entertainment and
don't know just how to amuse your
friends, try Waterloo" 1t may also
be played progressively, two at each
board To play the game cut from
cardboard twelve small squares, six
white and six colored. The player US
ing the white pieces, or men. places
them on one of the end rows, as l, .. 8.
4, and G. The opponents men are
placed on 3S. 80, 40, Al, AZ and 49, Call
these two rows the camp rows. The
object of the game is for each player
to try to get all his men into his op-
ronent's camp row. The one who first
does this wins. Observe the follow
ing rules: Move only one space at
time g. e., from one circle to arother).
except in case of a jump. Always
move forward. never backward, on
either the diagonal or the straight
lines. Thus, a man on circle in pass
ing to the opposite camp row may move
to or 8, but not back from s or 9 to
4. Having reached 8, the next move
may be either 13, IA or II. Jumps are
made as in checkers, except tnat the
pieces jumped are not taken from
the board When possible, two or more
pieces may be jumped at the same
time, as in checkers. No jump can be
made around an angle, as from IA to
21-the pieces jumped must lie in a
straight line. A player must Jump
when there is a chance. A study of
this game will bring out some very in
teresting problems. The game was

In vain the little boy awaited the ma

inquisitive mind, for the marketman
revolved the quid of thought in his
brain; eyed chicken and turkey and
juicy sides of beef; lifted an orange
and fondled it and said: 81 can tell
you all about it. They come this way.
Nov, this is singular" said he. "a
man came in here the other day and
told me all about navel oranges. His
brother is California orange grower

Angelina is little Italian girl who
attends school which she and her
friends call "a pooE school, The
teacher is dear sweet lady, who is
very kind to the children under her
care. The room where she teaches is
so dark, so overcrowded, tha: she says
she cannot teach much, but she means
the children shall learn to be kind to
each other That is a very good kind
of learning. Angelina is very bright.
She makes you think of bird, she is
SO quick in her movements She is in
school before the teacher every morn

er comes in the room Angelina raises
her hand and begins: Teacher, Tony,
CT Maria, or Mary"-whoever it may
be-''touched the crayon, or knocked
Johnny's hat on the floor" or some 9TH
er tale. All through the day Angelina's
hand is raised with some tale about the
other children. The other morning
when Angelina began, the teacher in
terrupted her and said: Il want YOU
to stop telling on the other children.
If you do anything wrong tell on your
self, put l will not hear another word
from you about the Others" Angelina
looked surprised. About eleven o'clock
Angelina raised her hand The mo-
ment the teacher looked at her she
said: I've just been talking to Vic

mained in at recess without a murmur.

EARLY MEDICAL EDUCATION.
What Wonder the Physicians Were Not

What Wonder the Physicians Were Not
| Skilled?
In the old days, which many OF our
still active practitioners well remem-
Der, the medical student was registered
with practicing physician, who more
or less intelligently directed his read
ing and sometimes took him on his
rounds as a sort of private assistant,
giving him fitful glimpses of patients,
says the Columbia University Bulletin.
two, often only one, course of lectures
In medical school, hearing the same
lectures over again each year. The only
thing which he ever learned actually
to do with his fingers in the medical
school was to dissect the dead subject,
and here his experience was not usual
ly large. He made careful notes of
many views" regarding disease and its
nature, and usually stepped out upon
the arena with a general idea that dis
ease was a thing" which got into the
bodies of certain unfortunate people,
and which he was to drive out, If he
could, with some one or more of his
preceptor's prescriptions, which he had
carefully copied in small compass ready
for emergencies.
When he had discovered the proper
name to attach to his patients malady
the rest was largely matter of an al
phabetical index of remedies and a calm
abiding of the consequences. 1t should
not be imagined that the practitioners
of medicine in the old days were nee
essarily lacking in wide views, prac-
tical knowledge and great skill. But
when this was the case it was usually
owing to training which they had
secured after and not before they be-
came doctors of medicine.
The medical college consisted OF a
group of medical men, who obtained a
charter, hired a building, partitioned off
among themselves the subjects which
were deemed essential-anatomy, phys
iology and possibly chemistry, materia
medica pathology, and the practice of
medicine, obstetrics and surgery. Each
day the students sat upon hard benches,
taking notes for dear life, while the
subject matter of these themes was let
loose upon them in swift succession,
for better or worse, through five long
hours. Perhaps there was a clinic in
the afternoon, perhaps not. There were
no laboratories for practical work, eli
ther of chemistry, physiology or histol-
ogy, and Independent subjects were un-
known. A great many lectures, little
dissecting, few clinics, possibly some
quizzes, final examination, and the
degree of M. D. was won.
