THE COUNTRY PHYSICIAN.
and That When the Roads Are Worst.

"Of all the men l meet on my rounds of the state there is none for whom I have as great respect as have for the country doctor" said the Southdown drummer the other day, according to the Chicago Inter Ocean. "The city physician is often pretty hard working man if he has much of a practice, but he knows few of the trials that the country doctor faces the year round. The coun- try doctor is the modern mar tyr, and take it all through he is the best read and most aggres- sive citizen of his community.
 "The country phsician who is we'll established usually has q practice that covers territory of at least hundred square miles. There is hardly week in the year that he does not have patients at the extreme opposite boundary lines of his territory. I know one old doctor down the state who drives an average dis. tance of 20 miles a day every day in the year. Of course there are days when he does not drive five miles a day, but there are other times when he drives 30 or 40 miles a day.
 "The worst side of country practice, these doctors say, is that the greater part of the sick ness comes during the worst kind of weather. When the roads are good and the weather is fine peo pie are not so apt to be sick, but when winter comes on and the roads are rough or muddy the country doctor is the man who has to be out and going.
 "The mud roads of Illinois have shipped ten years off the lives of the majority of the doc tors. One physician told me he was the first man of his family name to become gray, and he laid the blame to exposure.
 "The country doctor is not merely a physician. He is a sort of family counselor, nurse, spirit ual and legal adviser. heard of a physician down in the southern part of the state who conducted sort of vest-pocket bank and loaned money and discounted notes for nearly every farmer within the range of his practice.
 "Yes, sir, I always take off my hat to the country doctor wher- ever 1 meet him."

THE COASTER SUBSIDED.
Drummer Dragged of Getting a Big Order, Then Was Cleverly Ex-
 posed by Joker.

The habitues of a certain sub urban hostelry had long been weary of the boastful chatter of an intermittent guest of the com mercial fraternity, and it was with rare satisfaction that they recently saw him annihilated, so to speak, says the New York Times.
 "Had a splendid day." he opened up as usual; "spent an hour in old Simons' store over in Rye and came out with a $2,0OO order"
 He produced a notebook in sub. stantiation, as Old Simons'" atti- tude toward gentlemen of his ilk was we'll known, and the incredul- ity of his audience was not masked. The notebook was hand ed around for inspection and halt ed with a gray-haired stranger over in the corner.
 "Oh, yet-the entry's all right enough" he said, mildly, "but- it's very strange"
 "What's strangew demanded the commercial man of might.
 "Why, how it got there. Ihave no recollection of giving any such order, and if you will kindly tell me which of my employees author ized it you will be conferring a fa- vor upon me. You evidently don't recognize me as MT. Simons, of the Rye firm, but"
 But the erstwhile boaster had wilted out of sight. His quondam victims roared with delight.
 q say, that's richw exclaimed one of them; "it's worth $50 to see you take him down like that, MT. Simonsw
 "I didn't say I was MT. Simons, sir," returned the meek-looking stranger; "in fact, I don't know the gentleman-any more than the young man himself didw

SCIENTIFIC BILL OF FARE.
A Good, Wholesome Meal Need Cost No More Than 22 Cents
 An Experiment.

To live luxuriously on 66 cents a day has been made easy by the department of domestic science at Teachers college, Columbia uni versity. Meals at P cents apiece have been prepared, and, what is more to the point, eaten with ap- parent relish by unbiased per sons, says the New York Sun.
 In.addition, the chemh4l constit. uents in the food havV VSeen care fully weighed and measured, and it has been discovered that enough proteids, fats and carbo- hydrates exist in the 22-cent meal to support men working with the customary expenditure of force. At least, the textbooks say that the quantities are all right.
 The manner in which the discov- cry was made is somewhat as fol lows: Dean Russell planned a luncheon to some friends, and thought it would be a clever idea to have the meal prepared by the department of domestic science. The teachers laid out the plan of battle and the students did the cooking.
 The luncheon was served to six persons. The total cost of materi. als was $202, from which was de. ducted the value of the food not actually consumed. This brought the total cost down to SIPS for the six persons.
 This was the menu:

RUSSIAN SQUADRON ESCAPES
VlADlVOSTOCk FLEET ELUDES
JAPANESE ADMIRAL.
The Two Fleets Came Within Ten
Miles of Each Other During the Day
But During the Night Russians Got
Away-Japanese Lost 5000 Men in
Two Days Engagement.

Toxic, July 4.-The Vladivostock
mura's squadron eastward of the ISL
and of Tsu Friday night in the dark
ness. A drizzling rain and fog favored
the Russian vessels.
The two squadrons met early in the
evening, the Russians being north OF
Xxi island and the Japanese south of
Tsu island. They were 10 miles apart
The Russians bolted to the northeast
when they were discovered by Vice
Admiral Kamimura. The latter chased
them at full speed. The Japanese tor
pedo boats steamed ahead and entered
within the range of Russian guns. The
Russian vessels vigorously shelled the
Japanese torpedo boats. This firing
confirms the cannonading on Xxi island
and gave the impression that an en-
gagement was in progress.
Vice Admiral Kamimura was only
eight or nine miles in the rear, when
the Russian vessels extinguished their
lights and disappeared in the darkness.
At that time the Japanese torpedo
boats were pressing the Russians, who
had been using their searchhghts The
torpedo boats failed to get close
enough to the Russian boats to dis
charge torpedoes.
| Japanese Lose Heavily.
| Liaoyang, July 4.-The recent sue
cesses of the Russians at Dalin and in
Major General Mishtchenko's engage
ments with the Japanese have engen-
dered much better feeling here. II
is reported that in the fighting of
June 26 and 81. the Japanese lost
5000 men, and that their losses in the
operations against Mishtchenko we're
1900.
A striking feature Of the last en-
gagement at Dalin, as we'll as in the
fight with General Mishtchenkos force,
was that the Japanese tried the bayo-
net charge, to which they had not been
previously partial. Their lines went
to the charge with loud cries of "Aiyar,
aiyar," but almost to a man were
moved down by the Russian rife.
One Of the Japanese prisoners cap
tured by General Mishtchenko states
that the provisions of the Japanese are
running out and that the troops are
badly fed. For two days prior to his
capture, the prisoner said, the Japan
ese had eaten nothing, and this state
ment is confirmed by Chinese. The
Japanese commissary is entirely sup
piled from japan and consequently is
dependent upon sea communication,
and the effect of the loss of any boats
in the recent storm is beginning to be
severely felt.
