Der. the medical student was registered
with a 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.
He attended rarely three, sometimes
two, often only one, course of 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 usually
large. He made careful notes OF many
views" regarding disease and its ma
ture, and usually stepped out upon the
arena with a general idea that disease
was a thing" which got into the
bodies of certain unfortunate people,
and which he was to drive out II 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,

phabetical index of remedies and a
calm abiding of the consequences. IL

BABooNs IN SOUTH AFRICA.

While poison is most effectively used
on South African farmsagainst burrOw
ing creatures of the jackal kind, ba-
boons are best dealt with in open war
fare with the rife, and large baboon
hunting parties are often formed
among neighboring farmers. A short
description of one of these baboon
hunts may be of interest to readers in
the mother country, and will give them
an idea of some of the outdoor exper-
fences of their colonial cousins in farm
ing districts between Cape Town and
the Vaal river The special character
Of baboon hunting is derived from the
fact that balloons are generally found
in large troops, numbering up to eighty
or a hundred or more. In some of
the karroo farms of the Sneeuwberg
and Compass Berg ranges in the Mid
land districts of the colony. for in

DRAMATIC CLUE PLAY.

One Of the prettiest and most sue
cessful plays of the Wilmington Dra-
matte Club was 1.-The SNOWFALL" given
at the Opera House last night. The au-
dience was large and fashionable, and
frequently applauded the efforts of the
clever amateur actors. THE Snow
ball" is one of Grundy's funniest come
dies, and every role was exceptionally
well rendered, particularly in view of
the fact that the cast had been re-
hearsing only since last Monday. Miss
Eleanor G. Walton was first cast for
the role of Mrs. Featherstone, and be-
cause of her illness the play was post
poned. Her recovery being slower than
was anticipated, on Monday Miss May
Candy, who is also president of the
club, took the part. Miss Elizabeth
Candy took Miss Canby's former role,
and Miss Louise Elliott accepted Miss
Elizabeth Canby's part.
The play went off without a single
hitch. George II. Hoffecker never be-
fore appeared to such good advantage
as Felix FeatherHone and l.. Scott
Townsend made a decided hit as your
uncle John" His makeup was excel
lent. Robert Pennington made his
debut as Harry Prendergast, and in
such a manner as would have brought
credit to many who tread the profes-
SIGNAL boards. Rodgers Wilson had
the minor role of a butler and played
it acceptably.
Miss May Candy is easily one Of the
best amateur actresses in the city. AL
ways letter-perfect, and self-possessed
she enters wholly into q role and acts
1t with a spirit and intelligent percep-
tion seldom seen outside professional
circles. Last night she was at her bes
as Mrs. Featherstone. Miss Elizabeth
Candy made her first appearance las
night as Penelope, in a manner credit
able TO herself and highly pleasing t
the audience. In the second act he
work was particularly good. Mis-
Louise Elliott is a favorite with tn
Dramatic Club audience, and though
her rart last night did not give full
scope TO her powers, she made a grea
deal more of the part than most could
The play last night closed the pres
ent club season. The officers are
