TIP FROM VETERAN DOCTOR.
Simple Rule that Helped Him to Ac.

Simple Rule that Helped Him to Ac.
quire a Lucrative Position.
A physician of long standing in this
city, who has a practice that many of
his colleagues might envy-and many
in all probability do-recently gave
this advice to a young doctor who was
just starting out in his profession. The
older man is type of the kind of doc
tor that is said to be going out of style
the family physician. Whether he
is destined to disappear or not, this
kind of a physician followed a highly
profitable kind of career while it last
ed. Many young men used to regard
this sort of practice as that to which
they all aspired.
81 have always made it a rule said
this experienced man of medicine ito
close every visit to a patient with a
question or a comment on his or her
physical condition. 1t is all very we'll
to discuss various questions with ones
patients, talk about all kinds of sub
jects and interest them in any way
possible. But the final remark must
be connected with the patients criti-
cal condition. Tell him not to forget
to take a certain medicine regularly
or tell her that you have never had a
case that was just like hers-but in all
cases talk last about the illness of the
person you have come to see. I learn
ed that when l was young man from
the most popular physician Of his time.
/ always felt indebted to him, for it
was not long before [ realized the
truth of the theory that nothing leaves
such a favorable impression on a pa.
tent as to emphasize the Importance
of his malady.'-New York Sun.

FLAGS AT THE CAPITOL.
When and How the National Emb1ems
Are Put at Ha1f-Mast.


The flying of flags over the capitol
at half-mast is regulated by the strict
est rules. Whenever these flags are
seen floating down the staff is a sure
indication thai Vice President, Sena-
tor or Representative is lying dead, or
that the action is taken in response to
a presidential proclamation ordering
flags on public buildings at half-mast
in respect to the memory OF some
prominent official of the government
who has passed away.
When the sergeant-at-arms Of the
Senate or House of representatives
learns of the death of member Of
either of those bodies they at once or
der that the flags over the Senate
chamber and Hall of Representatives
be half-masted. This is often dope be-

At first there seems to be nothing re-
markable about this old house at Rou-
en-, for to this day houses are built
with towers and cupolas. But here
we have complete three-story house,
containing several bedrooms, strad-
ding the ridge Ola siX-story house OF
much greater age. Most Of the old
French cities were laid out on very
narrow scale, with high buildings
crowded together and separated by ex-
tremely narrow sterets. In spite or
the extensive destruction of the older
parts of Paris in the last half century,
there are still on the left bank of the
Seine streets in which three men can
not walk abreast without brushing
against the walls of the houses. In
the course of time building sites III
these old cities became almost price
less-in fact, unattainable. The only
place where new houses could be put
was on top of the old ones. Nowadays
in similar conditions the roofs would
be raised or removed, and the old walls
carried up few stories; but this meth
cd did not seem to commend itself to
these old French builders, who prefer
red to plant the new construction on
the roof of the old one.

GETTING BOARD IN BOSTON.
The Applicant Must Pass Most Rigid
Examination.

Until one has tried, the difficulties
Of obtaining a boarding place in some
Of the very beautiful, but conservative
suburbs of Boston are not realized.
You can pass civil service examlna-
ton or obtain life insurance policy
more easily. A young Boston news
paper man, who had decided to eN-
change the excitements of the city for
the quiet simplicity of the country,
sailed forth bravely one day recently,
but returned to town wondering IL he
looked like a second-story burglar or
a sneak thief, owing to the rigid cross
questioning he had received from sun
dry timid house holders. When he
started out he was well armed with
references of the most excellent char
acter, but when he returned he found
that he had been compelled to tell the
entire story of his life, and even then
the matter had not been settled. One
gray-bearded gentleman, living in
beautiful old-fashioned house not far
from Roxbury, proved to be the prize
inQuisitor of the lot. He placed the
applicant on the rack for an hour and
a half, firing questions at him with
Maxim-gun rapidity. When the late
Ii Hung Chang was in this country
he was noted for the strangely per-
sonal questions he asked all the people
he met. The aged Roxbury gentleman
was able to beat Earl Ii at his own
game. He started out with queries
as to the applicants business, his age,
his family, the time he had lived In
Boston and whether he was likely to
be out nights. The old gentleman
wanted to know if the applicant had
any friends, and, if so, who were they.
The question, however, which appear
ed to be the most vital, was on the
matter Of being out nights. The ap-
plicant finally, with tears in his eyes,
confessed that it was quite likely that
some nights he would be out until mid
night or later, at work. WALL
drawled the aged Roxbury resident, at
the conclusion of his protracted inter
view, 81 guess if you can't get in by
8 o'clock at the latest you can't come

1t is stated by Dr. Alfred Hitler IL
an article in The Fortnightly Review
that the deaths from consumption
throughout Europe are estimated at
more than q million annually. In Eng
land and Wales alone mo- han 60,OOo
people die of the disease every year,
and this annual mortality exceeds by
10000 all the ravages Of the BLACK
Death" during the time Of the Great
Plague which is so terribly celebrated
in English history. tuberculosis Is In
fact the Plague of to-day, and the doc
tor speaks of it as "classic" disease
along with the leprosy of the middle
ages and the smallpox of the time be-
fore Jenner. 1t is thus ranked as one
of three great scourges of the race, but
the very classification is a source OF
encouragement. Leprosy has practl-
cally disappeared from Europe owing
to improved conditions Of living and
the incidental assistance rendered by
the isolated Ieper houses. Smallpox,
most contagious of diseases, has be-
come but the shadow of its former self
owing to vaccination. Were vaccina-
ton and revaccination practiced with
the persistence and regularity which
nearly a century's experience has
shown to be desirable, it is probable
that it would be practically extinguish-
ed" So, too, tuberculosis may yield to
sanitation and other branches of medi-
cal science, and the method Of proven
ton is exceedingly simple. Taking the
figure of seed, soil and plant to repre-
sent the disease germ, mankind and
the disease the writer diferentlates as
follows: I'm leprosy, the mere sowing
of the seed, the exposure to contaglon,
has rarely any result except under
most favorable conditions Of soil. In
tuberculosis the exposure to infection
is usually but by no means so certain
" as in the case Of leprosy, without
result except where predisposing con-
ditions exist, that is in favorable con-
ditions Of soil. In smallpox almost any
unprotected, unvaccinated person ex-
posed to infection runs the greatest
risk Of contracting the disease" Like
leprosy tuberculosis has been affected
by the improved conditions Of life, the
British death rate having declined from
$500 in the million in 1888 to 1905
in 1896, but though the soil IS more
resistant the seed is found every
where, and prevention can be secured
only through it's control. That means
the control of the expectoration Of in
fected persons which contain the tu-
bercle bacilli, and though the task
seems a large one the cooperation Of
the patients and the public would make
it easy. The patients themselves might
solve the difficulty by regulating ex-
pectorations, and their ignorance and
careIessness might be corrected by no
LITIGATION of the disease to the health
authorities, which is made compulsory
in Norway. With public educated to
the necessities Of the case and proper
treatment of patients in Sanatoria DR..
Hitler thinks that not only the pre-
vention but the absolute suppression OF
tuberculosis would be possible.

In a smaH way to the man who moved
from New Hampshire to North Da>
kota. We should despise the New
EnglGnder who should put behind him
the tender memories of his boyhood

Therefore we cannot blame, but we
ought to applaud, the European who
has a warm place in his heart for the
country Of his birth, the customs OF
his youth, and the people who speak
his native language. He is all the bet
ter for cherishing such sentiments, and
as those sentiments do not exclude true
loyalty to the country of his adoption,
he may be, and if his love for the old
home is Of the right quality, he Is,

Working ones way through college is
to be commended; yet it is possible that
some persons desiring to appear as
"self-m&de" do an injustice to the
parental aid which was actually theirs.

Moody, whose parents were known to
be New England farmers of slender
means, was recently asked if he had
worked his way through college,"
NO" was the prompt reply. MY pa
rents sent me to school and through

gratifying to the father, who at the
age Of 81, watches his sons career with
interest, must be such an acknowledg-
ment!

The appropriateness of Indian corn
as a national emblem is urged by mem
bers Of various women's clubs who
think that the country should have a
botanical symbol, so that Uncle Sam
may wear a posy in his bonnet and at
the world, as the first Plantagenet did
with his sprig of broom. But If corn
should be selected it would be neces
sary to decide what kind. We certain
ly should not want it to be popcorn,
which goes off with bang when heat
ed. Some quieter and more dignitied
grade would be more suitable.

No broad-minded observer will over
hook the significance of the interest
with which the people of German birth
or descent regarded the recent visit of
Prince Henry. They have made their
home here, yet they still look back
with fondness to the fatherIand. The
sentiment is altogether admirable and
praiseworthy. 1t assumes an obJec-
tionable form only when the foreign
born citizens become clannish, when
they set themselves in groups apart
from the general body of the people
among whom they live, and transfer
the politics of the old country to the
new. The love for the land Of their
nativity which persists in the breasts
of the foreign-born does not differ from
the sentiment that has made success
full the reunions in various parts of the
country in Old Home Week. Migration
