A SHIPS DOCTOR.
The Things For Which He Should or
should Not BE Paid.


should Not BE Paid
A correspondent of Lloyds Weekly
has expressed the views of ship doc
tor in the following words: MANY
travellers are in doubt as to the DO
sition Of the ships doctor in regard to
his remuneration from passengers for
services rendered The merchant ship
ping act enacts that every foreign go
ing vessel having hundred persons on
board or upward shall carry on board
as part of her: complement duly
qualified medical practitioner. Further
more, an emigrant Ship. e., a foreign
going vessel which carries fifty or
more steerage passengers-mus have
medical man, irrespective of the
number of crew or of other passengers
carried. The salary Of the doctor on
board is commensurate with these du-
ties to his ship. To any n ;engers
who are suffering from ordill,,.y forms
of seasickneSs and its concomitant
evils or who receives injuries which
doctors services are free For any
sickness contracted beYre sailing or
'Iring voyage which is not connected
with the aboYe named conditions he is
entitled to remuneration at the same
rate as he would receive on shore OBJ
viously it would be as unfair to ex-
pect that his services to passengers
should be rendered gratis as it would
be for any visitor in a hotel or travel
ing on railway to expect to have
medical attention free in any illness
for which the hotel or railway authori-
ties could not be held responsible
The writer of letter to the London
Lancet says that the case of the ships
surgeon is stated with accuracy in the
surgeons are of two kinds-first, those
who after they have qualified take
such a position either for health or for
pleasure, and, second, those who elect
to make sea life a permanency.
The pay of the ships doctor varies
from $50 to $50 month. This is for
duties to officers and crew. AS regards
passengers in relation to the surgeon
the following groups will include all:
First, the passenger who takes the
initiative by remunerating the surgeon,
perhaps handsomely, for any services
rendered; second, the passenger who
asks for his bill and pays it if reason
able; third, the passenger who, travel
ing for the first time, does not know
whether to ask for his bill or wait for
it to be delivered, but is pleased to be

for the benefit of passengers, and, fifth,

pay the rgeon.-Medical Record.

Mirrors In the Middle Ares.

In the middle ages, when steel and
silver mirrors were almost exclusively
used, method Of backing glass for the
same purpose with thin sheets Of metal
was known. Small convex mirrors Of
glass were made in Germany before
the sixteenth century and were in de-
mand until comparatively modern
times. They were produced by blow
ing small glass globes, into which
while they were hot was passed through
pipe a mixture OF tin, anthony and
rosin. When the globe was coated
inside it was allowed to cool and was
afterward cut into convex lenses, which
formed small but well defined images.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is cataarh. Halls cataarh cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Cataarh being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls cataarh
cure is taken internally acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of

foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature

"unclen in China.

Among the Canton houses there are
occasional exceptions to the usual one
storeyed or low constructions. Some
Of these are built like square towers
four or five stories high. with no out
side windows save at a considerable
distance above the ground, and no out
side projections by which thieves
might get in.
These establishments are called
pawn shops, but they appear more to
resemble banks 1t is usual among
the Chinese to deposit their posses

these establishments The people also

has recalled the history OF the post.
Posts are mentioned in scripture. In
Job 9:25 1t is written: MY days are
swifter than a post" and again in the
book of Esther, chapter s, letters were
sent by posts on horseback" The
word, of course, here means runner

Augustus is credited with introducing

The Raven in Folklore.

has recently made an exhaustive study
OF the place of the raven in folklore.

II is a curious commentary on the

they should hold the raven in abhor-

cases the authentic histories of the
church. tell them that the bird which
they shun was the companion OF doz-

gained rather than lost in sanctity

the part of a little girl in a North

to get the children to express moral

How Wine Is Colored.

make white wine and dark grapes
make red wine; II is popular error
Red wine is made by fermenting grape
Juice and grape skins together, and
white wine is made by fermenting

and dark grapes does not differ in hue
In each sort of grape the juice is al
most as colorless as weak lemonade
