Nevada Mine Sale SuIt.U

SUIT has been brought in the Utah

have been withheld through fraudu-
lent misrepresentation as the price
paid for mining and other property
IN lone. Nye county, purchased for
the Nevada mining company.
There we're two transactions alleged
as fraudulent in the complaint. The
first alleges that the company fur
nIshed Farnsworth 100000 to pur-
chase a stock Of merchandise and
other property at lone for which he
paid less than $4,000. The second
charge is that the defendent was in.

lone Gold Mining Company's prop
erty for which he paid only $4,000,
withholding the balance Of the money
advanced in both transactions.

Government Incomes from Lotteries.
Foreign governments make a nice
thing out Of this popular form OF
gambling. In Italy they have a vast
lottery business, which brings the Gov.
erment 10 sum Of nearly s125,OOO,Oo0
a year. In Prussia the profits of the
public lottery amount TO no less than
S21,250,O00. The Dutch Government
gets the nice little sum Of s25O,OOO
profit out Of It's lottery. Portugal
makes about $500 10 this way.
Denmark rakes in a profit Of $780,
600. And in Brazil, where the Gov.
eminent does not itself ran the lot
terry, but collects a tax on the re-.
eeipts Of private lotteries, the amount
realized Is sS50,oO0.

he has practiced as a general practi- tioner. Suppose a disease of the eye depends, as is frequently the case, upon another disease which has it's seat in the kidneys. When your oculist, who is merely an oculist, is called in, how can he cure the disease without being fa~ miliar with kidney troubles? Or, how can a surgeon operate on the stomach thoroughly unless he is conversant with the general laws of the stomach? It will be time enough for Dr. Young Man to think of becoming a specialist when he has built up good general practice.
 Now, as to the field of labor to be chosen. Large cities are poor places to start in, unless the young doctor has sufficient funds to keep him going dur ing the years of dreary waiting which must be his. Go to country town or small city, Dr. Young Man-that is my honest advice. There you will have a chance of getting noticed. Emergency cases are possible there. In big cities the hospital ambulance takes such cases from you, while the huge army or other practitioners prevent you from coming to the front.
 The life of a doctor in a country town is, to my mind, most enviable. He grows old with the old folk; he sees the young folk grow up around him. If he is the right sort of man everybody esteems and respects him. Of course, practice in a country town has it's linn itations Fame does not often come in the country doctors way, nor does his yearly income rise beyond a certain limit. But he is, or ought to be, very happy, the country, doctor

profession, your typical student will appreciate frank talk on tn, subject of getting on." First of all, he must not dream of beginning his medical studies until he has acquired a sound, classical (and, if possible, college) edu- cation. There is no such thing as in- spiration in medicine Hard work and Knowledge, together with the inborn vo- cation hitherto dwelt upon. are the phy- sician's stock in trade. Therefore, to the would-be student, I say: "Go first to college and build the foundation of your career. A college education, or at least an education under a first class private tutor, is indispensable"
 You may ask me: If this be so what is the poor boy to do? What is to become of Americas pride. the pro- verbal penniless lad who cannot af- ford college and yet wants to be suc- cessful physician" It may sound cruel, but my advice to that boy, if he wants to be happy, is to. give up all

main in home work but the experi- ence Of this one woman, whose eXperi- ence is not imaginary, is common. She was graduate of Vassar, cultured and refined by travel and intercourse with the best society.
 Her husband died and at 26 she stood alone with nothing but ideas.
 She decided she would stick to what she knew something about, "a lady could dignify any position etc.
 The first woman she applied to, in answer to an advertisement, told her fiatly, Your application is very suspi- cious; something must be wrong
 At last she got a situation as nur- sery governess to two little girls.
 You will, of course, not mind a cap and my second girl will be so much company for you" said the lady of the house.
 Well, she compromised by taking a position in a store and a good many of her ideas were turned topsy- -turvy
 1 have asked many ladies employ ing Chinese at wages ranging from $50 to $80 a month, whether they would not prefer a trained woman on the same footing as a trained nurse. In every case the answer has been that such a woman would be eagerly ac- cepted.
 One lady explained the situation in

The pupil sings her lesson, with pi- ano accompaniment, learns how to put the clothes to soak, to care for stains, how to rub and rinse and make starch. Besides these material directions, the ethical part of washing, rather new idea, is given and the pupil is taught to respect her work and herself, be- cause it is work that is worth doing and she knows how to do 1t well and will do it conscientiously.
 Then in the lesson she learns the story of cloth; how it grows in the South and how beautiful the cotton fields are, and then, later, how the dar- kies help pick it and carry it in baskets on their heads.
 Then the story of the mills and shops and the story of the coal which makes her fire and the starch and the wool in the blankets and the hemp in the clothesline It is very intelligent lit- tie girl who hangs her clothes up to dry with her thoughts broadened to take in all her fellow workers who have helped to prepare what she uses.
 Then there is an active game with clotheslines, where they hang them up high to dry the clothes" and, finally, take them in at night"

thoughts of medicine. Of course one such lad in Q thousand mas the real grit in him, calculated to overcome all obstacles. If he really wants to be 8 doctor he will do it in the long run; but take my word for it, he will go through college first, if he has to work his way. Such a boy reminds one of Wendell Holmes simile of the horse with the star in his forehead. The other horses make all the running at the out set of the race; but look out for the horse with the star on his forehead-he is going to pass the winning post first, in the long run.
 When your student has taken his de- gree in arts (and in science, too, of pos- sible), he is ready to take up medicine but not before. No man who jumps out of a high school straight into a medical college can hope to amount to much. It is just as well to frankly ad- init right here that some capital is necessary to study properly. Medicine is the most. absorbing of professions

He must keep fully abreast of the rapid tide of medical improvement, or else drop hopelessly and almost uselessly behind. From the day that I graduated I have never ceased to study, and l shall never cease to study until the end. If your young man does not like the prospect of lifelong labor, let him not hope to become successful physician.
 The first question Dr. Young Man asks himself is very often this: Shall I devote myself to general practice or start to win fame as a specialist" By all means be a general practitioner, Dr. Young Manl You will never amount to much as a specialist unless you do. Go- ing out of college into special branch of medicine is like beginning to build
 a pyramid at the apex. The doctor of the future is going to be an all around" physician; and you can take my word for it that the very best spe- cialists are those that are forced by cir cumstances into their particular line of work. No surgeon can succeed unless

this wise:
 There are great doings in my kitchen. We are only two in the fam fly, but there is a big fire all day. Lee seems always very busy and quite un- able to understand two words in Eng fish when I go to the kitchen to make any suggestions, so I just keep out"
 Lee does all the marketing. too, and any one can see that a competent wo- man could earn the same wages, do the work better and make a big saving in the monthly bill for food and fuel.
 Such woman's work would not be one-half so hard, as a nurses, nor as heavy as shop work, and she would have a ''home,'' for a woman would be accepted at what she is. Being we'll paid and having her own hours off duty she would be no more in an inferior po- sition than the cashier of bank.
 In the West Oakland school there are now about eighty children with ten times as many eager to enter. In classes of eleven they learn to make a fire. scrub floor, clean and sweep, make beds, set a table and do every thing up to the cooking stage of educa- tion.

anywhere else in the world. The de- tails of the four years course may be picked up in any college catalogue; and such a. course, under the costly con- ditions now obtaining. will cost (ex- elusive of personal expenses) from $40O to $450 per year.
 The degree of M. D. thus fairly won. A year or more spent by way of post graduate course, and in the hospitals, must follow. Every conscientious physician procures hospital diploma before going out into the world; and he learns more in that last year than he has done in all his previous term of study The contagious diseases hos pitals, too, must be familiar ground to him.
 Equipped thus thoroughly for prac- tical start in life let Dr. Young Man lay not aside his books. Until death beck ons him away, he must read and study. All the new books, all the medical pc riodicals, all the latest instruments and contriyances must be fapiliay to him.
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-08

and no medical neophyte can afford to be hampered by pecuniary considera- tions. He should be able to remain in college until he is 20 or 21, and then to give his whole working time to his four or five years of medical preparation.
 Let him not think of eking out his sub sistence by writing or other forms of outside labor. Even should be obtain a degree under such conditions, he can not be a competent doctor Medicine is a jealous sweetheart-it allows of no rival
 Here, then, we have Mr. Typical Young Man, bachelor of arts, well grounded in classics and science, con- versant with French and German (this is a great desideratum), and about to enter upon medicine proper. His first step must be to join good medical col lege. He can get as good an education here in America as he can in Europe, in- deed the clinical advantages are actu- ally better in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston than they, are

 with courage and enthusiasm. But let us begin at the beginning. let us take the would-be medical stu- dent. standing on the threshold of his career. The question you ask me is, "How is this young man going to suc ceed as <. practitioner of the science of medicineY
 In the first place, your typical young man must consider whether or not he is suited for the medical profession at all Does he experience a vocation, an abso- lute call toward the life of Lhysician? Does he look upon medicine as some thing far more than mere money making pursuit? Is he content to de- vote his whole mind to the study of medical science and it's developments, to study morning, noon and night, and to continue unnceasingly to study until death shall summon him to his reward? Unless your young man can answer these questions in the affirmative he had better give up all thoughts of be- coming a doctor and look out for some more suitable walk in life.
 Supposing, however. that a strong natural inclination toward medicine ac- tuates him, and that he is ,pable of graspinE the true scope of that grand
