London ns It Was.

Haydn's "Dlctlonary of Dates" makes the statement that the old name of the city Of London was written Lynden or Llyndln. meaning "the city on the lake" An old tradition gives us to understand that London was founded by Brute, descendant Of .Encas and called New Troy or Troy novant uutn the time Of Lud, who sur

A USE OF BOOKS.
Expands Ones Outlook and Develops
New Afinities and Interests

Expands One's Outlook ana Develops
New Af6nities and interests.
One of the chief uses Of books is
found in their power Of expanding
the mental horizon and bringing one
into relation with vast range Of in
terests that without them would be
closed to us. A few personsmay learn
directly from Stanley or Nansen about
his experiences or observations on his
famous journeys, but in his books,
what he saw and felt and thought is
the property of us all. We plunge
with one into the Dark Continent;
We sail with the other into the frozen
seas. The book serves the mind as the
telescope does the eye. 1t may plaus-
IDLY be said that the newspaper brings
before us the story of the days as they
pass, but it does not bring us into re-
lation with the forces and tendencies
and records Of the past without which
the present cannot be understood.
knowledge is not wisdom, butitis the
raw material Of wisdom. And beyond
this, who can estimate the refining

HOW DOCTOR BECAME KNOWN.
Painted His House an Outlandish ColoI
for Advertising Purposes.

A West side physician has hitupon
novel way Of attracting attention to
his Office and setting the tongues of
gossips a-wagging Recently he had
his house-a frame structure-paint-
ed most outIandish color. The shade
of the paint on the building proper
is bad enough, but the border and
the color with which he had the veran-
da decorated are infinitely worse.
The other day neighborihg drug

were commenting on the appearance
of his house, asked the doctor why be
had chosen so odd a color.

Noses Any Shape You Like.

The latest development in surgery
is the molding of noses in paraf1in,
which is now being practiced in vi
emma. In the deformity known as
saddle nose the most remarkable re-
suits are said to be obtained. The
process consists in the subcutaneous
injection of paraffiq, which before il
completely sets is nodded into the de-
sired shape. A warmed syringe is
charged with the melted compound
and the needle is inserted between
the eyebrows, just above the root of
he nose. Then the compound is in
jected into the subcutaneous tissue as
he needle is slowly Withdrawn.

The stage line between Atohison
and Placeryille, Cal, which ran daily
coaches for about live years in 1860
65, was the finest ever known in the
stage coach business, says the Atchi-
son tKan) Globe. In equipment no
similar line could equalit Itwas the
greatest stage line on the globe, carry
ing passengers, mail and express.
In 1S64-'65 it cost more for meals
between Atchison and Denver than
the railroad fare now costs, with meals
added. The run from Atchison to
Denver is now made in somethinglik
10 hours, as against six days in the
stage coach days. At one time fare
from Atchison to Denver was $175;
the railroad fare at present is SIS.
The quickest time ever made by stage
between Atchison and Denver was
four and a half days Ben Holiday,
owner of the line, travelled by special
coaches from Placervile, Cal, to At
Gibson, 1000 miles, in ~ days and
two hours, beating the regular daily
schedule five days. This feat cost
Holiday 100000, but it was great
advertisement for his line. The
stages, when crowded, carried IS pas
sengers, besides great quantities Of
mail and express.
One of the coaches used on the
Atchison -Bacerville line is now in
the Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington. After leaving Atcbison it
was operated on the Deadwood line,
and was several times captured by
Indians and outlaws. Once when cap

CHINESE DOCTORS.

ia New York.
Pills as large as walnutsand the bit-
terest of medicines in pin and quart
doses are regularly prescribed and
taken in Chinatown without serious
loss OF life, says the New York World
There are a score of native Chinese
doctors practising in New York who
dose their patients in this manner
These so-called physicians are liteI
ally thousands Of years behind the
medical times, yet by their country
men they are preferred to American
doctors. Not one of them can speak
English, or has seen the inside Of a
medical college.
The proportion of native Chinese
doctors to the Chinese population is
very large. The Chinese section Of
the city is also plentifuliy supplied
with Chinese drug stores, where the
outlandish herbs, drugs and medi-
cines of the country are temptingly
displayed. Neither the Chinese doc
tors nor their apothecaries are licensed
by the County Medical society, nor
havethey the power to issue death GER
tihcates.
When a Chinese doctorloses hispa
tientit becomes coroners case. The
Celestials, however, manage these
things very cleverly. When they find
that their patients are likely to die
they quickly tell them SO, and advise
them to call in an American physician,
so that the death and burial may be
regular.
The Chinese physician is self-ap-
pointed. Even in his native country

ations or take any degree.
He gains his medical knowledge.
such as it is. by reading the Chinese
books of medicine and sometimes by
practising under an older physician.
As might be expected, hisndeas and
methods are startling as compared to
those with which we are familiar.
He neverta the pulse or the tenn.
perature Of his patient. He knows
nothing about surgery, and
is deeply prejqdiced against the use
Of the knife.
He cures, or pretends to cure, by adj
ministering concoctions Of herbs.
When the case is very seriuos, as, for
instance, when a man is badly man
gled, the doctor merely increases the
size of the dose.
There are but two forms Of treat
ment, accoring to this ancient system
Of medicine. The commonest pre-
scription is the Chinese pill, and sell
dom more than one of these is pre-
scribed at a time.
These pills are frequently an men
in diameter, and are pretty certain
either to kill or cure. The pills are
covered with a coating of wax, and are
soft and spongy.
1t is, Of course, impossible to swal-
low such an object whole, and the pills
are slowly eaten In some cases the
medicine is mixed with sugar or some
Gavoring, which makes them fairly
palatable
The average liquid dose is from a
pint to a quart. and is drunk from a
