Hints for Women Doctors.

A well-known physician in New
York city. who during a small lifetime
of work has accumulated a fortune,
attributes her success to "sick-room
manners" Her advice to young doc
tors is to maintain a cheerful and
sunny disposition. hearty manner,
and bright. interesting conversation
when in the sick room. Also, that be-
fore she leaves she must not fail to
return to the subject of the patients
illness. People who are half sick
and there are more of them than of
any other kind-are morbidly sensitive
about the condition of their ailment.
and the popularity of the physician de-
Ponds greatly on her manner. Another
successful physician claims that an
important phase of the doctors sick
room conduct is never to be in a hur-
~. No matter how great the provo
cation might be to hurry, she must
never appear to do so. The tihiest
appearance of neglect or indifference
will ruffie the patients temper, sa9
the physician is likely to lose.

ought Art students STUDY ANATOMY?

Nature says the youthful impression

that his contempt for the subject is re-

There is a story from Buffalo County
going the rounds that illustrates the
resources OF a Nebraska farm. A farm
er up there from Missouri goo discour-
aged because he didn't get rich the first
year, and as there was a mortgage Of
500 on his farm, was about ready to
jump the whole business, but deter
mined to make one more effort and
sowed eighty acres in wheat. 1t hap
pened to be poor year for wheat and
the stand was not very good. Conclud-
ing that it wasn't worth harvesting he
pulled up his stakes and moseyed back
to Missouri, leaving the farm to fight
the mortgage all by itself. The farm
was equal to the occasion.
The wheat ripened, fell down and de-
posted the seed in the soil again. Next
spring the wheat began to grow lus-
tily. Some of the neighbors were hon.
est enough to write about it down to
the fugitive in Missouri, and he got in
terested enough to come back and take
a look. Then he stopped and harvested
his voluntary crop. He sold it for
enough to pay off the mortgage and
the rest of his debts and had tidy lit
tie surplus over, with which he moved
his family back and now declares there
is no state like Nebraska.-Lincoln

SHAFTER'S CHICKEN.
A LIVING REMINDER OF A DEED
OF MERCY.
story of the Days of Starvation In
CUBA Little Boy Who Was Picked
Up by Brooke When Almost Dead

In Gen. Skaters quarters at Ssn
Spanish" pullet which, if it had the
power of speech, could tell a thrilling
and pathetic story. Early in July,
1898, when the American army in Cuba
was supplying food to the starving
reconcentrados in Ell Caney, a terrific
storm wrought such havoc to the roads
that 1t became impossible to convey
further supplies to the town. Gen.
Shafter therefore issued an order that
all who were able might walk to his
camp, six miles away, and draw ra-
tons. The order set in motion one of
the saddest professions that ever fol-
lowed in the wake of war. Ragged,
hungry, weak, emaciated, a line Of
specters daily wound its awful length
through swamp and mud and jungle
toward the blessed food. Lieut..
Brooke and an interpreter were return
ing TO camp from FL Caney one day,
when they saw little band of the
reconcentrados ahead of them. Be-
year-old boy. He was evidently sick
and weary unto death, but still he tot
tered persistently on At length, his
last ounce of strength gone, he fell,
snd lay there in the mud, unable to
Use. His father and mother glanced
sack at him stolidly, and went on.
Their own strength would be hardly
sufficient to carry them to camp, and
suffering had dulled their sensibilities.
# he could not keep up he must die
where he fell. Lieut. Brooke dropped
from his horse, picked the little fell
low up, and galloped into camp with
him. There he fed him till he could
eat no more. wrapped him in warm
blankets, and left him to the long
dreamless sleep of exhausted child
hood An old Cuban woman washed
his little cotton shirt and trousers,
and after few days rest, he was sent
back to El Caney with a generous sup
ply of provisions. Two days later the
little fellow, still weak and pale, again
appeared in camp. Going straight to
Lieut.. Brooke. he took a small chicken
from inside his little shirt, and with
tears in his eyes, presented it. 1t was
the only thing he could give him, he
said, to show his appreciation of the
senor's kindness. He had walked all
the way from FL Caney through the
deep mud, and after he had made his
humble present, he walked back.
Lieut.. Brooke took the chicken to Gen.
Shafter and told its story. The gen.
eral tethered it to his tent-pole. When
he entered Santiago, he took the bird
with him. There her nightly roost
was a gilded chandelier in the gov
errors palace. When the army moved
out to camp again, the chicken went,

Point, thence to Governors Island,
and now she struts and scratches and
cackles contentedly in San Francisco,
living reminder of deed of mercy,
pathetic acknowledgment, and the
gratitude with which at least one little
reconcentrado will always recall los
Americanos.

ii the manager for any other reason
does not desire to put it on the stage,
the money paid is forfeited after a GER

reverts to the author But If the man
ager decides to produce the piece the
author receives a percentage of the
gross receipts, usually five per cent,
payable weekly, after the amount pre-
viously advanced has been deducted.
Ordinarily it increases with the
amount of money taken in. More than
one native drama has earned one hun

Sometime ago a brakeman on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad used his
brains and saved passenger train
from running into two derailed cars.
The Company sent him a check for
$50 and posted a bulletin compliment
ing him for his quickness of thought.
A few days later, Engineer John Hag-
erty was oiling his engine at Connells-
vile, while waiting for the passengers
to alight. He heard another train
coming and believed that it was not
under proper control. He sprang into
his cab, opened the throttle and start
ed his train. The other engine struck
the rear car but it was not hard blow
and Hagerty's promptness saved ten
or a dozen lives. The Company has
ordered a handsome gold watch, suit
ably inscribed, and gold chain for
Engineer Hagerty as reward for his
devotion to duty and using his
brains" in time of emergency.

In Europe they enjoy parcels post

treaty with Germany, however, is GER
tain to be the opening wedge which
will inevitably result in a domestic
parcels post, in spite of the opposition
of the express companies By the new
arrangement with Germany packages
of merchandise weighing as much as
eleven pounds will be transported be-
tween any American and German post
offices at twelve cents a pound When
people generally realize this, they will
with good reason demand that the
present domestic limit of four pounds
be made equal to, if not greater than
the limit on similar foreign-bound mat

rate of sixteen cents a pound, we pay

Diamond Cutters.

Antwerp correspondent Chicago Rec
ord The diamond cutters of Antwerp
are in state bordering on panic, ow-
ing to the diamond trade crisis result
ing from the war in the Transvaal. The
Amsterdam diamond syndicate has al
ready doubled the market price, mer-
chants in rough diamonds have stopped
buying, and soon there will be no stock
on hand for the cutters, so that the
men will have no work until the war
closes. Coming on the top of the re-
cent labor conflicts in the diamond
cutting trade in both Amsterdam and
Antwerp, the situation is looked upon
as grave. The majority of the diamond
cutters spend their money as fast as
they earn it. and if the war lasts all
winter there will be terrible suffering
among the 1900 or 1000 cutters of
Antwerp.

VELOCITY OF FALLING.
In a Vacuum All Fall Alike, Not Sc In
the Atmosphere.

the Atmosphere.
The old-time query as to which OF
the two, pound of lead or pound OF
feathers, dropped from the same
height at the same time, would first
reach the ground. seems ever new.
Someone propounded it to the wise
man of the Scientific American recent
ly, using instead of lead and feathers
an ounce and ton of iron. And this
is how the wise man responded: This
matter was put to the test Of expert
ment by Calico at the Leaning Tower
of Pisa in the seventeenth century,
with two balls of lead, weighing one
and ten pounds respectively. The fol-
lowers of Aristotle had taught for GEN.
turtles that the balls would fall in pro-
portion to their weights, the heavier
one falling the faster. Calico point
ed out the fact that the lighter one
would reach the ground first, because
the air would resist the fall of that oil
of the smaller. He had previously
demonstrated the law of falling bodies
that the velocity under the action Of
gravity is independent of the mass OF
the body. Experiment confirmed his
position. The small ball reached the
earth first In a vacuum all bodies
fall with the same velocity through
any distance. AS a practical state
ment, it may be taken as true that
small dense bodies will conform to the
theoretical laws, falling any distance
less than 200 feet, in the atmosphere.
But with an ounce and a ton there
would be a perceptible difference. The
ounce ball would fall the faster. Facts
like this are nowadays demonstrated
by even elementary students in almost
every class in physics in the country"

courage to come down stairs and at

wife. Times and again when the head
of the house has been driven to the
head of the stairs by his wife he has
only come down few steps, and then
crouched still for few minutes. Then
he has returned to his bedroom, tell
ing his wife there is no one there.
