Although medicine is a small sni-

Although medicine is a small sci
cnce, yet it concerns the lives of
men. The Tso Chuan says: "Un-
less a doctor belongs to the third
generation of doctors in his own
family we should not take his medi-
cine" Fan Wenkung in his youth
had an ambition to help the world,
and often remarked: IF [ cannot
be good statesman 1 will be a good
physician" Su Hsuankung in his old
age studied the healing art, and when
he saw good prescription copied it
with his own hand, saying: 'This
is also way to give life to men,"
In the Hau dynasty we had Chang
Yui, Chang Chung-ching and Hua
TO, in the Chin dynasty Ko Hung,
in the Tang dynasty Sun Ssumao.
All these were famous physicians,
and left some writings behind them.
Alas! how the present race of doc
tors has degenerated. How many of
them trade on the ignorance of their
patients quite forgetting that though
they may deceive men they cannot
escape the eye of the gods.
Tseng Kuofan heard that in the
west all physicians must pass a
stringent examination in the science
and art of medicine before they are
allowed to practice. Hence their doc
tors rarely suffered death under the
hands of doctors. This is the very
antipodes of the entire absence of
law and control of physicians in
China, where anybody with or with
out smattering about pulses, ETC.,
can hang out his single and begin
practice. Individual governors have
tried occasionally to examine physi-
clans. But the government should
take it in hand. At present the num-
Der of Chinese who have confidence
in western medicine is small, but in
creasing, especially among intelli
gent men. Although hospitals can
not suddenly be called into being, vet
beginning should be made by com
pelling aspirants in the medical art
to pass regular examinations, and
Dnly on receiving diplomas to begin
operations.

A Perilous Ride.

One night last week William
Gibson, colored, decided to steal a
ride from Baltimore to Philadelphia

Better Than Pills,

The question has been asked, Gin what
way are Chamberlain Stomach & Liver
Tablets superior to pills" Our answer
is: They are easier and more pleasant to
take, more mild and gentle in effect and
more reliable, as they can always be de-
pended upon. Then they cleanse and
invigorate the stomach and leave the
bowels in natural condition, while pills
are more harsh in effect and their use is
often followed by constipation. For sale

When a Man Falls Down.

of human nature. No matter how much
the fall Injuries a man physically, it
seems as nothing to the damage to his
self-esteem if perchance his misfortune
happens to be witnessed by some one
else. The first thing the unfortunate
does after picking himself up is to look
all about him with an idiotic smile Oh
his face, just as if he took the whole
thing as joke. but anxious to see ii
any one has seen his tumble.
If there happens to be scnle one near
by who has witnessed the fall the Smile
Vanishes, and there is Il display Of tenn
per that is lu;licrous. 1t is his hat that
suffers. 1t is pounded instead of brush
ed as if that hat was responsible for
the humiliation, or as if he could get
square with the hat by ''roughhouse'
sort of brushing. II, however, no one is
in sight, and no face is seen at win,
dow, the unfortunate goes his way af-
ter few preliminary limps, as if the
thing was a matter of-course incident,
that must be taken good naturedly in

of lifetime. The result is about the

this, two of the passengers in the held

The trial of Black Bart for highway

One of the Sins that Destroy Home
Comfort.

One of the Sins that Destroy Home
Comfort.
There is one exceedingly disagree
able habit into which some people fall
without seeming to notice it. This is
nagging. They cannot say what they
have to say and then let it alone. but
keep pecking and pecking at it on ev-
cry occasion and if occasions do not
arise naturally, they make them. In
this nagging, sarcasm, or irony, bear
a leading part. A thing may be said
once or twice as pleasant raillery, in
a genial humor, but when repeated
over and over it ceases to be fun. 1t
then cuts. Sarcasm is two-edged
tool; it cuts and wounds the one at
whom it is aimed, and it irritateS and
roughens the one who uses it. 1t is
a dangerous tool for one to use who
wishes to be either kind or just. 1t
comes easily to the lips and the in
tellect takes a certain kind of delight
in aptness, ingenuity or sharpness. Its
use grows On one. At least the habit
becomes so habitual that it Is used
unconsciously. However good-natured
one seems to take it, it is almost GER
tain to leave a sting; there is wound
that hurts. Struggle against it as one
will, there will often be an impression
carried that some part of it is meant in
earnest.
Too often do all Of us wound the
feelings of others by carelessness in
speech. We cannot too carefully
guard ourselves against the nagging
habit. 1t rasps and wears out the
best of dispositions. Let us endeavor
ever to make our speech kindly, even
when obliged to find fault. "a blow
with a word strikes deeper than
blow with a sword We shall never
err by speaking too kindly. These
naggers are often kind at heart and
would not willingly wound another.
They have formed the habit uncon-
sciously and are not aware of how
frequently they indulge in that kind
of talk. 1t does not occur to them
that any one may take further mean
ing than they have meant, or that any
part of it will be taken seriously. 1t
is unavoidable, however, that this is

The nagging habit Is the real reason
A MEETING WITH BLACK BART.

The nagging habit is the real reason
why some women find it difficult to re-
tain servants. 1t is for the sharpness
Of their tongues that some really ex-
cellent people are avoided and disliked
in society. People dread the tongue
lashings that slip so easily from the
lips and without real malice, but they,
nevertheless, cut deep. Let US put a
guard on ourselves and see that this
habit Of sarcastic speech and nagging
is not ours. The Chinese have say
ing that "a mans conversation is the
mirror of his thoughts" There is a
truth in it. If we habitually talk in
certain way, we grow to be that way
in racter.-Milwaukee Journal.
