Reginald Royce had duly qualified to
practice in the noble science of healing.
A rude French savant once set floating
the famous but quite unjustifed dictdm
that this is the science of pouring drugs
of which its professors know very little
into bodies of which they know nothing
at ALL But Royce had taken his studies
very seriously. He was resolved to know
all there was to be known of it. Academi-
cally he had done we'll enough; he had
acquired the right of adding after the last
letter of his surname string of other
letters, all capitals, of which nj. r. c. s.,
L. r. c. P. were only the first flight. AT
the hospital, where he invariably worked
hard in spite of a more than moderate
proficiency in the art of football, he vas

he would get on. Il must" said Royce

turn; whether to gain a little experience
by seeking employment as assistant to
some oVerwOrked general practitioner or
look out for odd jobs as locum tenens for
SICK or holiday making medicos or spend
his capital in the purchase of a practice
which might prove to be worthless when
acquired. Royce had already stood at the
door, ready to step out into the great
world, for six months and had begun
to feel that matters grew serious and he

Sir Bruce, Springing-after the well

Royce readily acceded to this, feeling
that he could scarcely be in safer hands.

IN success. In the case of State Board

ern Reporter, 339, the court holds that in
determining the fair cash value of the
capital stock Of corporations the proper
rule to be followed shall be to add to the
market or cash value of the shares of
stock the market or cash value of the
debt of the corporation, excluding indebt-
edness for current expenses, and that the
board shall take the aggregate amount
so ascertained as the fair cash value of
the capital stock, and tax the corporation
accordingly. 1t is said that this decision
will result in adding thousands to the
city revenues. No doubt an attempt will
be made to enforce this rule for taxing
corporate interests in other states.

Home Remedies.

The following simple remedies are
given for the benefit of those who
have formed the habit of taking pat
ent medicines. Everybody is advised
to give these remedies fair trial;
they surely can do no good and may
do some harm:
TO Cure Toothache-When tooth
begins to jump tie same down by
means OF stout rope, so that jumping
is impossible. If tooth continues to
ache so to some dentist who has a
pull.
To Cure Insomnia-Shut your eyes
and count gray sheep, which you must
imagine you see jumping over pair
of bars. Count from sheep No. 1 up
to sheep No. 57,432. By that time it
will be daylight and you will be
obliged to get up.
To Relieve Distress After Eating
Stop eating.
To Remove a Wart-Try filing 1t
off and if the wart does not succumb
to this use stump puller. If this
fails try saying words over it, but
don't swear so hard that the neigh.
bors will hear you.-Ohio State Jour.
nal.
