The Iowa Medical Journal publishes
the following comparison between editors
and doctors, which it claims to have
clipped from an unknown exchange:
"The doctor from Algona sAid that
newspapers are run for revenue only.
What in thunder do doctors run for,
anyway? Do they run for gloryY One
good healthy doctors bill would run
this Office for six months.
San editor works half day for So,
with an investment of $1,000; a doctor
looks wise and works 10 minutes for
500, with an investment of three cents
for capnip and nil box that costs Sl37.
"A doctor goes TO college for two or
three years and gets a diploma and a
string of words the devil himself cannot
pronounce, cultivates look of gravity
that he palms off for wisdom, gets a box
of pills, cayuse and a meat saw and
sticks out his shingle full hedged doc
tor. He will then doctor you until you
die at a stipulated price per visit, and
puts them in as thick as you pocketbook
will permit.
Gan editor never gets his education
finished. He learns as long as he lives,
and studies all his life. lie eats bran
mash and liver; he takes his pay in tur-
nips aud hay, and keeps the doctor in
town by refraining from printing the
truth about him.
"If we didn't get some glory out of it
we would agree to take one of his pills
after first saying our prayers. If the
editor makes mistake he has to apollo
gize for it. But if the doctor makes a
mistake he buries it.
IF we make one there is lawsuit,
tall swearing and smell of sulphur, but
| if the doctor makes one there is funeral,
cut flowers and smell of varnish. The
doctor can use word foot long, but if
the editor uses it he has to spell it.
IF the doctor goes to see another
mans wife he will charge the man for
the visit. If the editor calls on another
mans wife he gets charge of buckshot.
! Any medical college can make doctor.
You can't make an editor. He has to
! be born one.
"The editor works to keep from starv-
ing, while the doctor works to ward of
the govt. The editor helps men to live
better, and the doctor assists them to
die easy.
"The doctor pulls sick mans leg, the
editor is glad if he collects his bills at
all. Revenue only? We are living for
fun and to spite the doctors"

A Legend of the salty Sea.

There are hundreds of queer myths
and traditions given to account for the
fact that the sea is salt. The Arabs
say that when the first pair sinned they
were living in a beautiful garden on
tract of land joined to mainland by a
narrow neck or isthmus. When it be-
came known TO the Holy One that his
people had sinned, he went to the gar
den for the purpose of driving them out
and across the narrow neck of land
into the patch of thOrns and brambles
would be the consequence OF their hei-
nous crime they had prepared to leave
their beautiful garden and had actually
gone so far as to send the children and
goats across into the thicket
When the Holy One appeared on the
scene, the first pair started to run, but
the woman looked back For this the
man cursed her and for such a crime
was almost Immediately turned into a
block of salt Compare with Genesis xix,
26. The woman, more forgiving than
her husband, stopped to pick up the
shapeleSs mass of salt. when imme-
diately the narrow neck of land began
to crack and break. AS she touched
what had once been her companion she,
too, was turned to salt just as the neck
of the land sank and the waters rush
ed through. From that day to this. the
Arabs say, all the waters Of the ocean
have rushed through that narrow chan
mel at least once a year, constantly
wearing away the salt of what was
once our first parents, yet the bulk of
the two salty objects is not diminished
in the least

Keep the Balance Up.

1t has been truthfully said that
any disturbance of the even balance
of health causes serious trouble. No
body can be too careful to keep this
balance up. When people begin to lose
appetite, or to get tired easily, the least
imprudence brings on sickness, weakness
or debility. The system needs a tonic,
Graves it, and should not be denied it
and the best tonic of which we have any
knowledge is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What
this medicine has done in keeping healthy
people healthy, in keeping up the even
balance of health, gives it the same dis
tinction as preventative that it enjoys
as cure. Its early use has illustrated
the old saying that a stitch in time saves
nine. Take Hoods for appetite, strength
and endurance.

The Manufacture of Plate Glass.

The casting table Of plate glass fac
tory is about 20 feet long, 10 feet wide
and inches thick. Strips of iron on
each side afford Il bearing for the roll
ers and determine the thickness of the
plate TO be cast The molten glass is
poured on the table, and the roller
passing from end to end spreads the
glass to a uniform thickness. The
glass. after cooling rapidly, is transfer
red to the annealing oven, where it re-
mains several days. When taken out,
it is very rough and uneven and in that

purposes where strength is desired
rather than transparency. The greater
part Of the glass, however, is ground,
smoothed and polished.
