EEES OF SURGEONS.
SUMS HAVE BEEN PAID
BY GRATEFUL PATIENTS.
European Royalties Invariably Recon-
peusc Their Medical Attendants Highly
Quarter of Milton Dollars Is the
Record for One single Fco.

In the medical world some enormous
fees have been paid from time to time.
In 1862 the famous Hertfordshiie
physician Thomas Dimsdale, was sum
moned to st. Petersburg to vaccinate
the Empress Catherine IL. He was in
the city less than a week, but so sue
cessfully did he accomplish his task
that he was paid a consideration OF
G12,000 in addition to a life pension
of $500 a year. Another costly vac
cinating operation was that performed
a few years ago by DR.. 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 Jcnner was called in
for a period of four weeks, and in re-
turn he was paid at the rate of G2,oOO
a week and given 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
medical attendants highly The late
Sir Morell Mackenzie journeyed to
Berlin to relieve the sufferings Of the
Emperor Frederick during his last i'll
ness and secured a fee of 100000,
while Professor Zacherine of Moscow,
who was called to Livadia when the
Car Alexander III. lay dying, was
presented with check for G15,000, in
addition to all expenses, for a two
days attendance upon his illustrlous
patient.
| Dr. Yowski. the famous oculist,
/ pocketed fee of $1,000 for attend
ing the shahs son at Teheran some
years ago, a figure completely put
| into the shade by that captured by an
English army surgeon, who paid oc-
casional visits to the Rajah of Ram
\ pur, India, when that potentate was
suffering from an acute attack of rheu-
matism. The patient did not wait fer
! him TO send in his bill. for, finding his

with 10000.

Description of Lord Kitchener.

An English writer lately returned
from South Africa has published the
following description of Lord Kitch-
ener: Tall and well-proportioned
above, he falls away from his waist
downward. 1t is this lower weediness
which evidently troubles the man who
fashions his clothes. A round, red and
somewhat puffy face. Square head,
with staff cap set carelessly upon it..
Heavy mustaches covering somewhat
mobile mouth, at the moment inclined
to smile. Eyes just anyhsw; heavy
but not overpowering eyebrows. In
fact. a very ordinary face of a man
just past his prime. Hardly a figure
that you would have remarked If it
had not been for the gilt upon his hat
in fact, it was all a disappointing
discovery"

Alfred Nossig, the librettist of
"ManSru, Tin speaking of Mr. Pade-
rewski as a composer, says: "Pade-
rewski, unlike other virtuosos, is
called to higher productivity than
that OF mere Interpretation. His artis-
tic activities began with composition.
and the flavor of composition is the
chief charm in his playing. Known
principally as a song and symphony
composer, his piano pieces have al
ways been very popular. This class
1f composition, however, permits but
one-sided development of his gift.
His unusually good treatment of the
voice and excellent defamation in his
Mickiewitz songs the inexhaustible
invention of his variations; the deli
rious toAe effects in his 'Elegy'; the
grandeur of his tone painting in his
Concerto; the intricate but lucid con-
struction aG1 effective instrumental
lion of the 'Nantasie Polonaise' are
admired by all composers. Paderewski
has feit his need of living out his most
characteristic gift to its fullest extent;
Of sounding in mighty accord all the
strings of that musical instrument, his
soul. From that impulse has sprung
his last great work. Just as he achiev-
ed the heights of mastership through
the emotional and dramatic allure of
his playing so he will give of his best
as composer of music-drama."
