BEGAN AS DOCTORS.
Distinguished Men Who Forsook the
Life of a Physician.
From Parsons Weekly.

From Parsons Weekly.
Dostors are more than any other class Of
professional men apt suddenly to change
their professions and make regulations at
things quite distinct from medicine Their
profession compels them to be men of
great observation and knowledge of techni-
calities They do not dream at their work,
but understand 1t in all its details. Conse-
auently If they applied themselves to any
other work the chances are that their medi-
cal training would be of enormous advan-
tage to them.
Dr. Nansen's training as a doctor largely
contributed to his abilities as an explorer.
AS matter of fact. he was polar dis
coverer while engaged in practicing as a
doctor. Before he even thought of arctic
exploration Nansen had already added to
the knowledge OF our anatomy by discov
ering what is known as the polar cell' in
the spinal cord. Many of the famous scien-
tific discoverers, as well as hansen. have
been doctors first thought their discoveries
have been turned to use.
Sir Conan Doyle is. of course, a famous
case of doctor who has quick changed"
his profession as a result of accidental OBJ
servation. 1t Is notorious that his cOncep-
ton of Sherlock Holmes originated in his
watching the methods of an Edinburgh doc
tor in diagnosing his cases. Sherlock
Holmes and the authors subsequent career
were the result of Doyle's medical training.
However, the example of Sherlock Holmes
has suggested many things to doctors
themselves. More than one private detec-
tive in London at the present moment be-
gan life as a doctor. BY applying their
reasoning powers to the cases they have to
diagnose instead Of their medical knowl-
edge doctors have often been the means of
discovering strange secrets from their pa
TENTS A doctor is In fact. the most likely
person to become q, good detective.
A part from the medical profession there
are many more men who have suddenly
changed their vocation. A certain journal
ist was once interviewing a professional
bird suffer with a view to description of
his methods. Being reasoning man, 1t
occurred to him that the method adopted
by this man might be improved upon.
Under the guise of seeking further copy
he paid constant visits to this man, and
gradually learned the ms and outs of the
work He theh offered his services, after
a little practice, to a large provincial mu-
scum and took up the work of curator at a
good salary. seasfa
In the course Of time he not only stuffed
birds, but AMI elephant, constructed tab
leaux of animals, md generally made the
museum one of stheD most attractive in the
country, gaining for himself the fellowship
of the Royal Society result. The OBJ
vious conclusion Is: Keep your eyes open"
If in the course of your ordinary work you
notice anything about other peoples work
that you think you could do better, do not
allow your own profession to prevent you
using your discovery for all that 1t Is worth.

Our Debt to Asia.
Portland Oregonian.

From the Portland Oregonian.
1t is noteworthy that out Of Asia came
our alphabet and our Arabic numerals. The
compass We owe to the Chinese, who knew
tn magnetic needle as early as the second
century. A. D. Gunpowder originally came
on. of Asia. and so did the art Of printing
and the manufacture of paper. The Chi
nese invented movable types In the middle
of the eleventh century, $50 years before
Gutenberg. They also made silks long
before Europe. and porcelain that has
never been eQualed by Europe. Truly, Asia
is the cradle OIL the race. On the original
ideas of the Persians, the Arabians, the
Hindoos and the Chinese our modern society
has been built

The Cleaning of Cities.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The difference between street cleaning
and garbage removal work in New York
and in Chicago is all the difference between
a business and a bluff. The worst ct 1t is
that dollar for dollar New York undoubted-
'ly gets more good out of it's millions than
Chicago does out of its hundreds of thou
sands of expenditure. Bluffs are not good
economy. Major John MEG. Woodbury..
New York commissioner of street cleaning,
has told an audience at Handel Hall. where
he spoke under the auspices of the City
Club, how the New York system is ad-
ministered and how the refuse gathered
by it is disposed of so that almost every bit
of it becomes profitable in some way or
other to the city. You cannot clean
city by politics or by contract" he said.
What New York has done is only what
many English cities have done before it,
Take Liverpool for example. Its city en-
gineer has charge of the whole work of
scavenging. cleansing and refuse disposal
Part of the refuse is used as fuel for an
electric light plant, part of 1t Is made
into concrete slabs for paving foOtwalkS,
and part into fertilizers. In Manchester
the cleansing department disposes OF 400
600 tons of refuse year. 1t manufac-
lures manure. oil. soap, tallow and NOR
tar 1t uses 3,GS1 acres of land and 500
vans and carts and it employs 1000 men.
Glasgow has managed its own cleansing
department for thirty-five years. 1t ham
dies loo tons of refuse day. 1t owns
900 railway cars. 1t has dust Instructors
and dust utilizers. machines which burn
and machines which sift the refuse. 1t
sells it's products to farmers in half the
counties of Scotland. 1t possesses over
1000 acres of land and uses 10000, GOO gall
Ions of water in washing the streets. The
net cost of the department for 1902 was
under S4J0.OO0.
The best that Chicago has yet done has
been to send a committee of aldermen out
every year or two to inspect the street
cleaning and garbage disposal methods Of
other cities The committee reports are

troops begin operations. about September 8.
The idea Is to assign the guardsmen ana
regulars to two camps each under the COM
mand OF a regular army officer, probably
a brfgadier general, though the commands
have not yet been assigned. The camps
will be at the extreme ends of the fighting
ground and viii remain hostile to one an
other during the campaign.
Gen. Corbin and his staff will be occupied
until September preparing strategic prob
lens to be worked out in the field. The
troops will assume positions to carry out
these problems and board of umpires VIII
decide which side has earned the advantage.

of the department of the east. is reported
as having said that the details of the field
operations have not yet been arranged. BUT
that the work would be laid out to approx
mate as nearly as possible the experience IS
of actual warfare. He said the sanitary
conditions of the Manassas camps were
about perfect and the water supply ex-
cellent.
District May Not Participate.
Gen. Harries is in receipt of a commune
cation from Gen. Corbin suggesting that
347 men of the District National Guard
be designated to participate in the maneu-
vers near Manassas. 1t is understood that
the suggestion does not meet with favor
at local militia headquarters. The pres
ent purpose is to take the brigade to an
independent camp the two middle weeks
of August, and it is not thought to be
feasible under the circumstances to have
a force of BAT guardsmen participate in the
Manassas maneuvers, beginning about Seq

Joint Maneuvers at Manassas.

A new plan is being perfected for the pro-
posed joint maneuvers of regular troops and
National Guardsmen next September uo and
down the battlefields of the first and sec
ond Manassas engagements in Virginia. 1t
is announced from New York that General
Corbin has written to the governors of the
twenty-one states comprising the Atlantic
division and of Texas inviting them to send
"A portion of their organized militia to make
up a force of 1900 guardsmeu to partici-
pate with 10000 regulars in the maneuvers.
The quota from each state will be in
proportion to it's military strength. 1t is ex-
planned. For instance. the District of Co
lumbia is called upon for only one battalion,
and New York will probably send a whole
brigade. though the exact number has not
yet been fixed. The law passed last year
authorizes the Secretary of War to provide

RED-LleHr WOMAN WINS.
Creature or Red-Light District Wins
over the Public Schools.

Wardner Idaho, Saturday, Jan,
3O.-Such excitement as was in evi.
dence at Wardner this week has not
been seen in that camp for many a
day. It is the direct result of a piano
voting contest for the most popular
person or organization, and termi.
mated Monday. The instrument was
won by Lillian Lewis, otherwise
known as Lillian Ford, who is the pro
prietress OF the largest disorderly
house in Wardner She won by a
majority Of 10000 over the public
schools.
The only other contestant was the
lodge Of the ladies' Of the Maccabees,
but this order withdrew from the
race after the entry of the Lewis wo-
man.
The Lewis woman was the dark
horse in tho contest. The first votes
cast for her appeared January 16,
when more than 10000 votes had been
deposited in her favor. She continued
an undesirable but strong candidate
for the prize. At this tiIae tho schools
were credited with 10000 votes. and
strong efforts were then made by the
schools to overthrow'the woman.
Since she would not withdraw, and
since the schools had advanced so
far in the contest, 1t was resolved to
fight to the bitter end, and the unpre.
cedented spectacle was presented of
the public schools and the prophet.
ross of a disorderly house contesting
for a prize.
The contest was advertised TO close
this week, and then votes in large
numbers were brought forth. The
judges counted the small pasteboard
slips from 1 o'clock in the afternoon
until 7 o'clock in the evening.
The ballot box would not contain
the immense number OF votes, and
Lillian Lewis sat placidly in the pres,
ence of the tellers, holding a large
telescope valise containing bundle
upon bundle Of votes neatly arranged
TO permit rapid counting When the
vote was announced it stood: Schools

The all-prevading question is now,
will she receive the piano? It is
doubtful If she will Gross forgery is
alleged. II is known that last Satur

week by J. L. Stockton & Co., to make
life-size carbon and sepia portraits for

Mr.. Gum has some remarkably life.

hibition, including one of the pro-
prietor J. L. Stockton, the well-known
eX-mayor of Independence, who came
to this city several years ago, and has
built up large business in that time.
There are also portraits of two of the
force of Observation-Disclosures Schind.
Ter and Southwick. Orders for about
100 of local people have been taken,
and will be executed as fast as the
artist can do them on his easel in the
window. There are some very fine
children's portraits done from photo.
graphs, and beautiful portraits of
Longfellow and Gladstone, besides one
of Father Peters, the head of the
Santa Barbara mission. Mr.. Gum
worked in Eugene for some time, and
has made pictures of the leading citi.
