Love and the Doctor,

1t would be we'll if in negotiations
with a view to matrimony the doctor
were TO be called in as an accessory to
the god of Love, who is proverbially
blind and therefore regardless of con-
sequences. The family doctor can do
much to prevent unwholesome mar
riages, and we look with much greater
confidence to the fruits of his teaching
and persuasion than to legislative en-
actments.-British Medical Journal.

Don't Play Hymns at Sea.

Any woman who takes a sea voyage
should be careful not to play or sing
hymns aboard ship except at the regu-
lar Sunday morning service. Sailors
think singing hymns at any other time
Is bound to bring bad luck. 1t is as
bad, they say. as having a parson
aboard, which is reckoned sure sign
that the ship will go to "Davy Jones'
locker"
