DR.. ". W. Keen, of Philadelphia. the
surgeon who wrote recently to Senator
Gallinger a striking open letter in de-
tense of v%ivisection. has tha hobby OF
collecting anecdotes Of physicians.
These anecdotes he preserves IN scrap
books and In costly extra-illustrated
volumes. and sometimes he reads Sc
lections from them at medical festivals.

dotes," said DR.. Keen recently. "sug-
gest that the physician Is a murderer.
All such stories are rs old as the hills

your modern writer puts them In new

their new clothes: as CHASTITY as though
you should array q corpse In fancy

Majesty forthwith. and has helped to
run the empire ever since. 1t can be
said without e~xaggeratiOn that no one
item OF the business of King OF Eng.
land gets SO much attention daily rs
the care OF Jack. His food and exer-
else are personally supervised hy his
royal comrade. and the general ques-
ton OF his health and conduct are a
matter Of personal concern to the King.

The Germ OF Useful Inventions.

Once In London I was astonished to
see a man. after writing something
with q lead.pencrl. search through his
pockets for a piece Of India rubber
with which to erase an error. He had
lost It and could only smudge the paper
by marking out what he had written.
1 said to him: "Why don't you attach
the rubber to the pencil? Then you
couldn't lose it." He jumped ut my
suggestion, took out q patent for the
rubber attachment to pencils and made
money.
When Rowland Hill, the great Eng.
lish postal reformer. introduced penny
postage into England he found 1t nee
essary to employ many girls to clip
off the stamps from great sheets. l
took a sheet Of paper to him and
showed him how easy 1t would be by
p%erforation to tear of the stamps as
needed. He adopted my idea: and nov
a single machine does the whole work.
I noticed one day In England q lot
Of "Hunkeys" rushing up to the car.
riases Of titled ladies and busying
themselves adjusting steps. which
were separate from the carriage and
had been taken along with great incon-
v~enience. I said to myself. why not
have the steps attached? and I spoke
about the idea to others. 1t was taken
mp and carried out. Now every car.
riase has steps attached as a part Of
the structure.
In 1850 I was with James McHenry
in Liverpool. and in trying to pour
some ink from q bottle into the ink
well the bottle was upset and the ink
spilled all over the desk. This was
because too much ink came from the
mouth. "Give the bottle a nose like q
milk pitcher ! said; then you can
pour the ink into the well easily"

and patented 1t and made a fortune
