Fox Outwits the Hounds

Many persons are infatuated with
fox hunting and often Reynard fools
the hunters in a clever manner. A
well-known fox hunter tells the fol-
lowing story of the cuteness of the
willy chicken thief:
A fox had been started, and thirty
five hounds and six riders were in
lively pursuit. The trail LED among
fields and over hills for several miles,
and then took the hounds to the turn
pike There, in the middle of the pike
the scent was lost. The dogs maneu-
vered. and beat about here, there and
everywhere. but the trail could not be
found. A teamster. on his way 10
town with a load of hay. had passed
the spot where the trail was lost in the
pike only minute before the hounds
burst on the road in full cry. The
teamster stopped on seeing the pack
and the riders following them to watch
the result of the maneuvering.
(which way did he go?" asked the
hunters.
"Dunnol" shouted the teamster
didn't see him"
Then the teamster drove on, and thu
unters gave UP the chase, declaring
hat there had never been such an in
xplicable loss of a fOx's trail.
After going a mile or two, the team
ster stopped his horse to talk with al
acquaintance he met on the road, ant
as they were talking, a fox jumped ou
lof the hay at the rear end of tn
wagon and trotted leisurely away q

lteamster. and he told his friend abou

RIVAL MEDICAL soAooLs

For something like a hundred years
there has been division in the ranks
of medical practitioners that for vir-
ulence has scarcely ever been ecualed.
AT the medical schools learned profess
sors have taken especial pains to i'm
press upon the students, not only the
virtues of their own system, but the
erroneous and pernicious doctrines of
their opponents. A great deal of time
and learning have been expended in
the negative work OF denouncing those
of the contrary beliefs, and points of
difference have been unduly magni-
fed.
1t is no wonder that the laity are
often puzzled, and vibrate between the
two schools, often satisfied with

that the practice Of medicine is a stu
lpendous hoax, when homeopaths use
their scientific knowledge to destroy a
belief In allOpathy, and the allOpaths
return the compliment. Then, too, the
public generally cannot understand
why gentlemen Of the profession deny
all professional recognition to others
leQually learned but who represent a
different system. IL is very common
for one physician to refuse to take
lanother into consultation because he
has a brand that differs from mis- own.
It occurs to us that during this wran-
gle lasting for century, the innocent
public must have suffered in many in
! lstances. In a discussion Of the items
p of difference, like theological wrangles,
/ the point at issue is not always clearly

We should rejoice that the misun-
derstandings which have prevailed for
some time between the Street and
Sewer Commission and the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company, have been
brushed aside, We have felt for some
weeks THAT little earnest effort with
an perversity eliminated, would solve
THE problem, and such has proved to
be the case. The company has gotten
substantially all that it asked for, and
the peoples interests are safeguarded.
The project contemplates two elevated
tracks through the city to accommo-
date fast traffic, a new passenger sta
tion more conveniently located, and
the construction of immense carshops.
It means for us increased convenience
for travel. a large amount of money
put in circulation in the immediate fu-
ure. and the permanent employment
of something like Thousand extra per
sons The cause Of our advocacy of the
measure giving the company the de-
sired permission is obvious.

They visited the Y NJ. c. A. and in

school, each would have been Obliged
by a code of professional ethics TO re-
fuse to serve with the other There
are two ways of breaking down this
prejudice; the first is for a physician
to be Independent enough TO recognize
any brother practitioner of good stand
ing as an equal; and the other is for
the laity to insist ON that recogni-
tion.
The profession at large needs all the
science and all the wisdom that amy
school has developed, and those who
entrist their lives TO members of the
profession are entitled to ali the skill
that either or allo OF the schools can
afford. AS clergymen in wrangling over
.creeds sometimes lose souls, so physi-
Clans in defending fne-spun theories,
often lose patients. Two opposing
schools OF medicine do not necessarily
mean that one is composed of error; IT
means. rather, that no one has abso-
lutte truth, but there is yet certain
amount Of cropping in the dark. Az
medical science progresses. and as men
become more open to the impor-
tumings OF the truth, the breach Will
narrow. as it is narrowing at the pres
ent day. The students of all our lead
Ing medical schools today receive Drac-
tically the same training in all save
two or three minor branches. and the
points of difference are rapidly disap-
pearing. To denounce either of the
great systems Of medicine is no longer
a sign OF professional erudition, but
rather is an indication Of narrowness.
