TRICKS OF PHYSICIANS.
Hractice OF Completing Their Edu-

Always Profitable.

The best thing physician or sur
geon can do is to go off about elk
months every two or three years and
give patients a chance to miss him.
.Ihey will flock back to him in swarms
providing, of course, he has estab-
ished a reputation and gained their
complete confidence" So says,a lead
ing and eminently successful surgeon.
Here is physician living in a cit+
OF $4,000 inha bitants, with proctica
OF $4,000 year, of which he collect.
$4,000. 1.-THE most successful practi-
TONERS in my town." he says, "are
two young men who spent year each
in Vienna and Paris, apparently study
ing the latest methods and cures. All
that they knew they learned right in
New York, but the mere fact of their
having taken a. course or two in
Europe, or having pretended to, has
given them vogue which no one who
has never been abroad can appreciate.
A foreign reputation is worth $4,000
a year to a $4,000 DOCTOR"

An Aurora Oily Judge Who Has Ha<
large Experience i'm Tying Con-
! nubfal Kno4s.

As a modern Gretna Green Aurora
may not be as famous as St. Joseph,
Mich, but the fact remains that
Frederick Brown, a popular justice
of the peace in that city. recently
married his four hundredth couple,
and is now we'll started on his fifth
century, reports Chicago exchange.
Every clergyman in the city envies
Justice Brown his business. They re-
alize that he has the advantage over
them, for he is a. practicing attor-
ney, and when the marriage does not
turn out we'll he is ready to help in
the divorce court. !:
The judge is courtly gentleman
of the old school, to whom courtesy
comes as a part of his nature.
He performs the marriage cere-
mony with unconscious dignity, and
kisses the bride with all the unc-
ton and ardor which the occasion
warrants.
1t must not be thought, however,
that this man Of many marriages is
in the heyday of his youth, ready
perhaps to- himself lead a blushing
bride to the altar. Justice Brown
has been long years widower and
the SHOWS of ~ winters are visible
in his whitening hair | 4 $.zs $, # /
He was born in =. Hutchinson,
Summit county, o., and has
lived in Aurora 90 years. Be
fore moving to Aurora he was
postmaster at Pecatonica, Ill, and

war. 81 81! EFF y II sc 4:x {

Ink and Fish Trick.

This is really a first class delusion
You first bring before the spectators a
glass vase fut of Ink. You dip ladlt
into 1t and porr out some of the ink
upon a plate In order to convince the
audience that the substance In the vase
Is really ink You then throw a hand
kerchief over the vase and instantly
withdraw it, when the vase is found tc
be filled with pure water, in which q
couple of goldfish are swimming.
This apparent impossibility is per
formed as follows: To the interior OF
the vessel is fitted black silk lining
which adheres closely to the sides
when pressed and Which is drawn in
side the handkerchief during the per.
formance of the trick. The ladle has q
hollow handle with an'opening into the
bowl. In the handle is a spoonful or SC
Of Ink which runs into the bowl when
it is held downward during the act OF
dipping it'into the vase.
