A DYING TRADE.
Influences which Threaten to Revolutionize the
Medical Profession.

Another thing that must hurt the
doctors trade here is the passing of
the family physician. Specialists
abound in New York, but family physi-
clans are vanishing fast and promise
presently to be as rare as hairy 'ele-
plants. When you have family ply
stefan, and like him, you call him in
whenever there is anything the mat
ter, and even If there is not much for
him to do, you have the fun of advising
with him and being assured But when
you go to one wise man for Group, to
another for govt, to another for dys-
pepsia, to another for headache, and to
half a dozen others for ailments too
intimate to be set down, it's different
matter. You don't go to a specialist
until you are sure there Is something
the matter. You have to wait until
the symptoms get some development
before you know which specialist to go
to, and often enough, while you are
waiting to find out, the whole disease
peters out and mends itself.
In old times in New York when there
were family physicians when you sus-
pected you were going to be i'll, but
were not sure. the family physician got
the benefit of the doubt, but the speci
alist does not. Every one who has
had experience knows that this is true.
To call in a familiar friend is one
thing; to call in a Distinguished, but
unfamiliar gentleman is another. The
things that cause us most anxiety are
things that never happen. The illnesses
that brought physicians large part
perhaps the most-of their pecuniary
reward were illnesses that didn't real
ly materialize. The family physician
got the benefit of the Wis medicatrix
naturae. He got there in time to stand
by and see it work. 1t was his friend
and ally. The specialist benefits by
It in less measure, for he is less
promptly summoned, and 1t is liable to
finish up the job before he gets there.
There seems to be some reason to
anticipate when New York families
will contract with syndicate of physi-
cians-comprising complete set of the
necessary specialization the super
vision Of the family health at fixed
annual price.-Harper's Weekly.

Buying By Sample.

A certain gentleman in this town is
the proud possessor of remarkably
red nose. The term proud is used
advisedly, as the owner is continually
relating stories having a bearing on
the brilliant hue of his nasal treasure.
The following is one of them: He
was in Exeter one afternoon, and hav-
ing completed his business, was anus
ing himself by an inspection of the
shop windows.
While admiring some ties In GER
tain window, and considering whether
he should speculate or not, little girl
came out of the establishment, and
finally caught him by the sleeve.
please will you come into the shop
with me, only for minute?" she ask
ed.
Certainly" answered the gentleman,
following her at once. Arrived at the
counter, the little one astonished
everybody by remarking: "Theer,
miss, muvver wants a ribbon the same
color as this gentlemans nose"

Saved by an Alligator.

William Simpson, who lives at Pine
Castle, Fla, near Lake Marie, has a
small boy named Rob, who tanned an
alligator and loved him dearly as If
he had been goat. The gator was
called Pete, and proudly sported cop
per ring in his head, as civilized ga
tor who knows tricks should.
One day Pete disappeared, and he
stayed away for three years. In the
meantime Rob received many spank
ing because he was continually playing
with alligators and getting all sorts Of
scratches and bites in consequence.
Now comes the queer part of the
story, that recalls the interposition of
fairy godmothers. Rob was making
overtures to big alligator one day,
and the saurian came at him with his
large, open countenance, and the little
boy began to say his prayers.
Just in the nick of time another ga
tor appeared, and the first gator had
a fight on his hands. When the fight
was over Rob discovered that his alli-
gator ally was the long-lost Pete,
grown. indeed, but still wearing his
stamped copper ring.
This time Pete stayed. and people

about on his back. Chicago News.

MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE.
Converting Cans Of Water Into Solid
Blocks.

Artificial cold or ice may be most
readily produced by the evaporation of
a more or les volatile liquid. In the
first machines constructed this liquid
was water. One tenth of the amount
of water used was converted into ice,
but as it was necessary to maintain a
vacuum in the apparatus, it's perfect
working was difficult problem. A
more readily volatile liquid, therefore,
had to be substituted, such as liquified
sulphurous acid and liquified ammonia.
Being gaseous at ordinary tempera-
lures, they are very suitable substan-
ces for the purpose. The ammonia ice
machine is the one in most general use
in fact, it finds exclusive application in
this city. This liquefied ammonia is
allowed to expand in coils of pipe
which are placed in tanks filled with
brine. The temperature of the brine Is
thus reduced to point below the freeZ-
ing point of water, that is, to 14-1S
degrees Fair.
In this refrigerated brine are placed
galvanized iron tanks having the shape
of the large cakes of ice which one Is
accustomed to see in the wagons that
pass through our city streets. After
a period of 1880 hours this can of
water is converted into solid ice. The
can is hoisted out of the brine, warmed
with hot water, which allows the cake
to slip out upon chute that runs into
the storage rooms. The gaseous am
monia in the pipes can be used over
and over again, a large compression
engine being a part Of the plant, which
reduces the expense of the process.
From this description it should be
plain that there can be no faint of am
monia to give a taste to the ice.
The plants usually employ distilled
or artesian water, so that the ice is
OF the best quality. All the i'm
purities are collected in the white
streak found in the centre of each
cake. The pure water separates from
the impure and freezes first. Even
ten years ago the demand for ice was
supplied from natural sources, the has
vest from our own Pennsylvania riv-
ers, which was stored every winter
in great houses on the shores of the
streams, being supplemented by ship
mnts throughout the summer from
Maine. There are now in Philadel-
phia sixteen ice-making plants, some
of which yield over 100 tons per day
each, and the artificial product Tor
several years has been a serious COM
petitor of the natural article.-The
Manufactures.

| army OF kOoeuts.
"An incident which came under my
own personal observation is not with
out interest" writes Ernest lngersoll
in the New York Evening Post.
while was waiting for train at
a small station on branch line of the
Southwestern railway, a clergyman.
with very long hair and beard, who
was walking up and down the platform,
| stopped for a moment and raised the
end OF canvass which served as a
cover for a large quantity of wheat
which was waiting shipment. In an
instant mass of mice sprang at him.
and his beard. hair and cloak were lit
orally alive with them. To brush them
OF was a matter of some time, and
when my fellow-traveler at length
thought himself free, he was dismayed
to find a mouse in each of his trousers
| pockets"
The cause of these pestiferous irrup-
lions of mice seem substantially the
same in all cases. The destruction OF
hawks, owls, snakes, ETC., allows the
little rodents, naturally exceedingly
prolific, to multiply unduly. Then
comes a very favorable winter, as the
unusual season of 1923 in Russia,
when all conditions are favorable for
their life and increase, and vast and
sudden augmentation Of their numbers
follows There is then not enough food
in the woods, and they spread to neigh
boring clearings and cultivated lands
If, as happened in 1893 in Russia, they
find everywhere an extraordinary
amount of stacked and stored grain,
new generations rapidly follow, thrive
upon the ready food, and an enormous
and apparently sudden increase occurs,
which overlooking, spread in all direc-
tons.
Their disappearance after season or
two is no more mysterious, when studi
ed. Mechanical means of repression
are of little use, and one of the peculi-
arities Of the Russian plague was that
the dogs and cats would not help the
farmers by eating the pests. All rO-
dents, and mice in particular, are, how
ever infested with parasites, internal

flourish most when the animals are
most numerous and gregarious. The
consequence is that, aided by epidemic
diseases, the parasites soon conquer
and destroy all but few of the strong
est, and the hordes literally die out.
1t is said that after the Novia Scotia
episode related above, winrows of them
were to be seen on the sea and river
beaches, where the mice had rushed in
and drowned; and elsewhere the air
was sometimes tainted with the mass
of tiny corpses in the field. In Rus
STA, however, great deal was done
to expediate this result by feeding
them bacillic cultures producing ty-
phoid disease fatal to the mice. I'm
mense numbers were no doubt killed
by this means At any rate the mice
were not sufficiently numerous to be
troublesome during 1894, and since
then have disappeared.

Snakes Do Not Bite.

The common error, which is almost
universal, is that snakes bite. Snakes
do not bite! Their jaws are connect
ed only by cartilage. are not hinged.
and cannot be brought together with
any force The poisonous snake strikes
from it's coil, throws it's head and body
forward, and strikes or hooks its fangs
into the object aimed at. The entire
work is done with the upper jaw, the
lower jaw having nothing to do with
it. The serpent does not swallow its
creature it devours. 1t is enabled to
do so by the elasticity of the skin and
the extraordinarily loose condition of
the teeth-bearing bones Of its fangs.
Az for a snake depositing a thick
slime all over its prey before swallow
ms it, it is mistake. The tongue does
not carry moisture enough to do this,
but when once inside the animal there
Is an abundance of saliva. The tongue
is looked upon as a sting, and the COM
mon expression Is: Look out for it's
sting!"
The tongue Is mobile, extensile or
gan of both touch and taste. So far
from being a sting, the delicate imple-
ment Is of the greatest use, and ex-
presses fear, anger or pleasure; also
when testing any objects of food. This
we have often proved whenever diff
ferent kind of food was given. There
is no doubt but that the tongue of a
snake is very important to it's owner.
as the slightest injury. even to it's tips,
generally results in the snakes death.

Women In Ancient Egypt.

Women always stood on level with
nen in ancient Egypt, unlike the Gus
tom of other Eastern countries. They
were allowed to rule as queens as early
as the second dynasty. Their palaces
were of brick, adorned with gorgeously
painted walls, rich carpets. rugs of fur,
ivory and ebony chairs and touches.
Till the end of the eighteenth dynasty
there was little change in feminine
attire, which consisted of a fine and
often transparent linen garment ex-
tending from shoulder to ankle, sup
ported by straps over the shoulders
Colored robes were not frequently worn
gay plumage was left to men. Women
were content with blackening eye
brows. letting their hair down and
decking themselves with innumerable
rings. chains and brace.ets

ly, the lie Complies, whose members

Almost all of them become blind, for
they inherit tendency to develop
at an early age the malady called
| "glaucoma," the symptoms of which
are increased fluid pressure within the
| eyeball, a gradual diminution of its
transparency, and the ultimate destruc-
ton of the optic nerve There Is a
story that four generations ago one OF
the lie Complies was cursed by woman
when he had offended. but however,
that may be, there is no question that
the disease has been common in the
family for many years, and still con-
tinues to manifest itself in many in
| stances. At present there Is young
woman of this fated blood in the Pres
byterian Hospital at Baltimore, who is
suffering from the ancestral malady,
and several of her relatives have pre-
viously been admitted to the same in
stitution. One of them was operated
upon there successfully thirteen years
ago, and at that time DR.. Herbert Har-
Ian, the surgeon who performed the
operation, and who has the present
case in charge. said that he traced
blindness in the family back through
five generations. The lie Complies all
have black eyes.
Samuel l.. Gracey. United States con-
sui at Fuchau, China, tells of several
tricks in the trade of that country
which are worthy the attention of
American exporters. He says that
many European merchants have built
up good business catering to the su-
perstition of the natives, while others
have prevented the sale of their own
goods by unconsciously marking them
with labels and trademarks, which in
color or design are offensive to
the Chinese or in some way suggest
evil influences. He says, for example,
that the ordinary tiger, as represented
in modern pictures, does not meet
with favor. Chinese art is peculiar,
and they want tiger of unreasonable
length of body, bigness of head and
curves of tail, that stands in impossi-
BILE attitudes. The grotesque and the
hideous always please the oriental
mind, and dragon is the most attrac-
tive trademark that can be adopted.
But there are different kinds of drag
ons, and the Chinese dragon differs
from the japanese dragon in its shape
and contortions 1t must be remember
ed too. that royal dragon has five
claws, while the ordinary beast has
only four. A box of merchandise bear
ing five-clawed dragons on it's label
will sell rapidly while others with only
four claws will rot upon the shelves.
There are other peculiarities of the
same sort which Mr.. Gracey describes
at length and he sends lists and speci-
mems to the department of state that
the Indians would call good medicine.
