cracker box in the midst of them
Up comes the clown, riding on little
donkey that stops every fifty feet and
kicks up soemnly, while the crowds
roar with laughter. Up comes every
thing belonging to the circus that can
walk or be moved on wheels. Then
the last wagon swings round the cor
ner and the crowd flows into the street
behind it.
There is always the awful possibility
that father won't let you go to the cir
Gus. Once there was a small boy in
a country town who had got hold of
so cents and wanted TO go to the circus
so badly that he fairly ached all over.
But his father said: mo, | don't be-
lieve in going to too many circuses.
You're too small to go alone, and l
can't spare the time. You'll have to
stay at home"
The small boy, desperate with disap-
pointment, ran away and went to the
circus with another youth in similar
straits. They got their tickets went
in. looked at the animals, and then
took their seats in the circus tent Be
tween the acts they looked around
them. Presently the small boy, glanc-
ing up, saw his father sitting six rows
higher up At the same instant his
father saw him. Neither of them gave
any sign of recognition, and neither
referred to the subject afterwards.
Only by the fact that he was not taken
out into the wood shed after he got
home was the small boy certain that
he had not been mistaken.
As a rule you didn't stay to "the
grand vocal, instrumental, and terpsl-
chorean concert in the main canvas inn
medlately after the conclusion of the
performance" With the afternoon
concert over there was still the even
ing performance to look forward to.
Then the town relaxed back into its
normal condition

During all of March tie sun is COM

Brooding over the evil that you have
done will never correct that evil.
Rather will it make possible a repeti-
tion of the thing dwelt upon. Set your
mind the other way. Think honest,
pure, kind, courageous thoughts all the
time, and your mind will have no time
for their opposites. Success.

ENORMOUS FEES.
Royalty and Rich People Pay Dearly
for Medical Treatment.

Royalty and Rich People Pay Dearly
for Medical Treatment.
In the medical world some enormous
fees have been paid from time to time.
In 1862 the famous Hertfordshire ply
sician, Thomas Dimsdale, was sum-
moned to st. Petersburg to vaccinate
the Empress Catherine II. He was in
the city less than a week, but so sue
cessfully did he accomplish his task
that he was paid consideration of
$4,000, in addition to life pension of
$500 a year. Another costly vaccina-
ting operation was that performed a
few years ago by Dir. Butler upon six
Indian Rajahs, and from each of his
patients he received 10000 for less
than a days work.
When King Edward, or the Prince of
Wales, as he was then, lay at deaths
door with typhoid fever, the famous
William Jenner was called in for a
period Of four weeks, and in return he
was paid at the rate of 1880 a week
and given a baronetcy into the bargain.
Nor was it by any means unusual for
him to receive a fee of $500 for an
hours consultation with less celebrated
patients.
But royalty invariably pay their med
ical attendants highly. The late Sir
Morell Mackenzie journeyed to Berlin
to relieve the sufferings of the Emperor
Frederick during his last illness, and
secured a fee of 100000 while Prof
Zocherine, of Moscow who was called
to Livadia when the Gar Alexander
III. lay dying, was presented with a
check for f15.OO0, in addition to all ex.
penses, for two days attendance upon
his illustrious patient. DR.. Yowski, the
famous oculist, pocketed a fee of f700C
for attending the Shah's son at Teherau
some years ago, figure completely put
into the shade by that captured by an
English army surgeon, who paid occa
sional visits to the Rajah of Rampur
india, when that potentate was suffer
ing from an acute attack of rheuma
tism. The patient did not wait for him
to send in his bill, finding his treatment
beneficial and rewarding him with 9
draft for 10000
The highest medical fee ever paid
however, became the property of &
blind physician, Dr. Gale. of Bristol
who cured wealthy patient of a dis
eased knee by electric treatment anC
in return found his banking account
richer by 50,000.-Pearson's Weekly.

Round This Great
 Round World A~ Little Letters from Corre- spondents in Many Lands.
German Ceramic industry.

According 10 German journal, the German manufacturers of earthen- ware are contemplating an amalga- nation, at least as far as the sale of their wares is concerned. Although the output and sales of the manufac- lures of earthenware have increased, the net result has been rather unsat- isfactory during the past few years, owing to the fact that the selling prices have constantly receded, and in many cases have been less than the cost of production. Of course, there is difference between those factories producing higher grade ware and those manufacturing staple articles for the masses. The former are al- ways able to obtain relatively better prices for their goods, while the busi- ness of the latter remains very unsat- isfactory. Several years ago, about 90 earthenware manufacturers com bined to regulate the selling price of their products, but this com bination did not prove effective. On the con- trary, the result was the founding of a number of Independent companies which underbid the combination. In order to meet the prices of these out siders, the trust fac tories sorted their wares more carefully, and, evading the spirit of the agreement, though not the letter, sold large part of their product as refuse ware" at greatly reduced prices, hoping there- by to crush the competition from without. This, however, resulted in general cutting of prices, and to-day the competition between the compa- nies belonging to the trust is just as keen as between the trust and the in- dependent companies. The result is that a number of large companies have gone into the hands of receiver, others are liquidating voluntarily, and still others are continuing to oper- ate their works at a loss.
 On this account, it. is intended to form new com bination, in order that the capital invested in the various works may be made to pay at least reasonable interest. It is not intend- ed to force up the selling prices un- reasonably, but merely to prevent an evasion of the spirit of the combina- QOn.-Walter Schumann.

Kew Coal Fields in Belgium.


 \ year or more ago a new soft coal basin was discovered in tie province of LuNemburg, Belgium, north of the city of Liege. Since then extensive soundingsi have been made over a con siderable territory. The deposit un- derlies many square miles of the northern part of Belgium and the southern part of Holland. One of the veins, at depth of 1000 to 1,500 feet below the surface, is from 15 to F feet thick, and of a very fine quality of coal. It is estimated that this new coal field contains more than 500,000,- 900 tons of good grade of coal and extensive separations are being made to open up the mines. The govern ment proposes to enlarge the canals in that part of Belgium, dig new ones, and open new lines of railroads. The working of these mines will be more difficult and expensive than of the other mines of Belgium, because of their depth and the presence of more water; but it is thought that thislwill be more than nterbalanced by the thickness of the veins.-A. A. Winslow.
