 EnL Candy

The time is luckily gone when a woman had to have two pounds of cam dy to tide her over Sunday, and she is Astter looking today for the exercise of eommon sense. 4 plain-spoken physician said to his anaemic patient; If you could see the inside of your stomach after eating candy you would never touch another bit!'' Just after a hearty dinner is the best time for candy. Then the appetite for it is abated, and the small amount taken mixes with the other food Sugar nuts, chocolate and pure fruit syrups are all well enough in their places, and that is after. not before, the eyen- ing or midday meal.

 Dublin Saturday Herald: A deteet- i've on duty at the Louvre had his at tention called by one of the assistants to the extraordinary attitude of seY- en ladies who wandered about from one counter to another without buying anything. After watching these ladies for some time, the detective called up 8 colleague, and the two together took all seven into custody. On being searched they were found to have se- creted stuffs and small objects of value under their dresses and were imme- diately marched off to the police com missary.

Torpedo boats having cleared the way, winds and weather being propitious, and no stupid Albion on hand to repel, it is believed that the thing might have chances of success.

EARNED BY DOCTORS.

The large personal estate, some s1.- S75.000, left by the late Sir William Jenner of London, makes it interesting to recall the big fortunes left by other fashionable and successful medicos of recent times in England.
 Dr. Thomas Armitage left over sf.- 100000, but the bulk of this was cer- tainly not professional earnings: Dr. Paul of CamberweB amassed over s500,000, but he owned ore, if not two, lucrative private lunatic asylums. The next largest personally to Sir ". Jenner's was that of Sir William Gull. He died in 1890, leaving S1.720.- 110 behind him. This, of course. was the result of professional fees. a large proportion of which for long series of years had been exeellently invested. Theh comes the late Sir Andrew Clark though there is a large falling off in the amount, $1,034, ,465. Sir An drew sank good round sum in real estate. Another big fortune was Sir Oscar Clayton s, about $735 900, and yet another of quite recent date, Sir Rich ard Quain's, about $585, 900.
 Sir William Bowman, the oeulist, Sir 4 Prescott HeWett, Sir George Paget and Sir Risdon Bennett left substantial for . tunes, but all were well under the $500,000 mark. There has been specul- lation as to what incomes some of \ these successful doctors earned; $I5,0o0 or $20.000 year is q big income for a professional man, but at one time Sir William GulFs professional fees most certainly averaged $I.808 a week, if not more, while Sir Andrew Clarks talk ings ak the zenith of his career must have Amounted to an average of over $1,500 for every six working days # There are prizes in the medical pro- fessiCn without doubt

Thousands have tried from time imme. morial to discover some cfficacious remedy for wrinkles and other imperfections oi the complexion, but none had yet sue Ceeded until the Misses Bell, the now fam Dus Complexion Specialists, of IS Fifth Avenue, New York City, offered the pub fic 5l1eir wonderful Complexion Tonic. The reason oc many failed to make this discovery before is plain, because they have not followed the right principle.

DISCUSSION OF THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION
BY PLYMOUTH CHURCH PUT OVER
IyNTII, THURSDAY NEXT

As had been expected. an acrimonious discussion
arose at Plymouth Church last night when Thomas
G.. Sherman, representing the ant-expansion ele
ment of the church. had encounter in diplomacy
and dialogue with ex-Congressman Stephen V.
White. representing the people in the church who
do not believe that Plymouth should undertake to
criticse or seem to dictate to those who are con-
Quoting the National policy in the Philippines
Only peremptory motion to adjourn saved some
of the debaters from saying what they might have
regretted
Mr.. Sherman won a point when he secured the
passage OF a motion appointing next Thursday
evening special night or which meeting will
be held. The meeting is nominally for the purpose
of deciding whether or not Plymouth Church will
discuss the Philippine question, but there is no
doubt that the anti-expansonists will be able TO
say all the sharp things they have to say about
the policy OF the Administration.
Mr. Sherman lost in falling TO secure the
ceptance of his monthly report. which sharply
criticises the administration and pledges Plymouth
to hold special meeting for the discussion OF the
Philippine question.
After the prayer-meeting Henry L. Pratt. the
Moderator of the business meeting. announced
that Il had been suggested that the discussion be
adjourned until Monday night. Mr.. White an
opportunity and moved an adjournment. No date
was specified. and some did not see that If the
motion were carried the whole dispute would have
been thrown out. Mr.. Sherman realized the stu
alton evidently He could not debate motion TO
adjourn, but rose TO a point Of order and asked
that Mr. Cady. whose remarks at n previous meet
ing had been cut short by an adjournment, be al
lowed to complete his talk. Mr. White withdrew
his motion 1t turned out that Mr.. Cady was not
present and Mr. Sherman Immediately moved TO
