In No Hurry For the Doctor.

Almost always when my patients
send for me-" said the physician, ''they
instruct the messenger to tell me to
come at once. In fact, this custom Of
trying to hurry the doctor to the bed
side of the patient is general, and all
physicians expect it, and it Is such an
old story to Office attendants that they
do not as rule bother to remember
it. But the other night had sur
prise.
''It was about Z o'clock, and gentle
man had called an hour before to re-
quest me to see his wife. What was
remarkable was the fact that he had
told my Office boy to inform me not
to call until the next morning if did
not find it convenient to visit his wife
that night before 8 o'clock, which he
said was the usual hour at which they
retired

STRANGE RAT TRAPS.
The Way Ostrich Eggs Are Utilized
In COptic Churches.


In Coptic Churches.
Ostrich eggs are regarded by the
Copts as the natural emblem of wateh-
fulness. and practical effect is given to
this idea among these people by tho
very curious use to which they put
them in their public buildings. particu-
larly in those devoted to the ce!ebra-
ton of divine worship. Whoever en-.
ters Coptic church cannot fail To
notice the numerous ostrich eggs which
hang above and around him.
The explanation is simple. The
churches are much infested by rats,
and these animals. as experience has
shown, have been in the habit of crawl
ing down the cords by which the lamps
are suspended. for the purpose OF get
ting at the oil and drinking it. To
hinder these four footed thieves tho
cord belonging to each lamp is passed
through the shell of an ostrich egg,
which is thus fixed at a moderate dis,
tance above the lamp The smooth
polished surface Of the shell offers an
impossible barrier to the willy and adj
venturous rodents, so that they in.
variabiy slide or and tumble to the
ground if they attempt passage.
