Mortality of Reasonableness,

From the Nashville American.
To be reasonable and practical is not to
be immoral or inconsistent or illogical The
opinions of an extremist do not affect us
Because we oppose the unlawful gambling
house is no more reason that we should
oppose racing than that we should insist on
law to prohibit a man specializing In
wheat or cotton or corn, or buying corn for
distillery, or betting on an election or
cheating in horse trade, or patronizing
church fairs, or taking chance tickets with
MS store purchases, or shooting for meat at
turkey shooting, or taking a drink from
a private bottle in prohibition town. or
singing loud at church while his horse is
standing shivering in the cold, or neglect
ing to pay his bills, or trying to escape
taxes. or thousand and one other things
men do which they ought not to do. We do
not object to man carrying a shotgun be-
cause we object to his carrying pistol 1t
is well to enact rational, wholesome laws,
but 1t Is not wise to proceed on the reductio
ad absurdum policy to the limit in the mat
ter of legislation.

The Ministry as Profession.

From Harper's Weekly.
A conference lately held in Boston to
consider how a greater number of able
young men could be induced to enter the
ministry was attended by two bishops, five
heads of theological schools and colleges.
and by clergymen, editors and others
eighteen persons in all. They agreed unan-
imously that so far as numbers went there
were ministers enough, but that what the
churches needed was ADLER and more eff
fectiye men in the ministry. In it's present
state the Protestant ministry seems an ex-
ira hazardous profession, in which the
peace of mind, as well as the maintenance.
of conscientious men is exposed to too
many risks. 1t does not surprise the
thoughtful observer that in spite of it's
great attractions the ministry finds trouble
in attracting the class of recruits it needs.
One of the privileges that are dear to the
American mind is that of amending the de-
tails of his theology whenever he thinks he
has got enough new light to warrant it. A
layman may do that without embarrass-
ment, but IL minister does it he must
carry his congregation with him or prepare
to be charged with breach of contract.

PAYING A SHIPS DOCTOR.
Uncertainty About the Proper Usage al
Sea Cleared Up.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record.
A correspondent of recent edition Of
Lloyj's Weekly has expressed the views
of ship doctor in the following words:
Many travellers are in doubt as to the po-
sition of the ships doctor in regard to his
remuneration from passengers for services
rendered. The merchant shipping act en-
acts that every foreign going vessel having
one hundred persons on board upward
shall carry on board part of her COM
plement duly qualified medical practition-
er. Furthermore, an emigrant ship. e..
foreign going vessel which carries fifty or
more steerage passengers-must have a
medical man, irrespective of the number of
crew or of other passengers carried The
salary of the doctor on board is commensu-
rate with these duties to his ship. To any
passengers who are suffering from ordinary
forms of seaSickneSs and it's concomitant
evils, or who receives injuries which are in
any way due to the ship, the doctors serv
ices are free. For any sickness contracted
before sailing or during a voyage which is
not connected with the above named condi-
tons ne is entitled to a remuneration at the
same rate as he would receive on shore.
obviously, 1t would be as unfair to expect
that his services to passengers should be
rendered gratis it would be for any Wis
itor in hotel or travelling a railway to
expect to have medical attention free in
any illness for which the hotel or railway
authorities could not be held responsible"
The writer of a letter to The Lancet
says that the case of the ships surgeon
is stated with accuracy in the above SEN
fences, and adds that ships surgeons
of two kinds-first, those who after they
have qualified take such position either
for health or for pleasure: and, second
those who elect to make sea life a per-
manency.
The pay of the ships doctor varies from
s30 to $50 month. This is for duties to
ohcers and crew. AS regards passengers
In relation to the surgeon, the following
groups will include all: First, the passen-
ger who takes the initiative by remunerat-
ing the surgeon, perhaps handsomely. for
any service rendered; second, the passenger
who asks for his bill and pays it If reason
able; third. the passenger who, travelling for
the first time. does not know whether to
ask for his bill wait for 1t to be de-
livered: but, is pleased to be enlightened on
the matter; fourth. the passenger who clings
to the oldtime notion that the surgeon is
there solely for the benefit of passengers;
and, fifth. the passenger who never intends
to pay the surgeon.

Choice in Reading.

From the New York Evening Post ..-..- q
By no means would we condemn in toto
the reading of periodicals. In order to
follow current news a man must glance
over two or three good dailies. To read
more of them ought to be penance. Two
or three weeklies. especially those which
well illustrated, and three or four of
the monthlies are not an unreasonable al
lowance for an intelligent and well-to-do
family, but a father who enjoys the in
come of a millionaire cannot do worse for
his wife ad children than to swamp his
library with popular periodicals-uness his
knowledge of books worth buying be less
than rudimentary Nothing, we believe
can kill the power of sustained attention
to decent book so surely as the habit of
the bulk of our cheaper dailies, weeklies
and monthlies. They ought to be the last
resort of imbecileS

The Grape.
From the New England Grocer.


The history of the grape is almost as old
as that of man. Growing in its highest
perfection in Syria and Persia, it's luscious
fruit recommended it to the especial care
of the patriarchal tillers of the soil, and
vineyards were extensively planted long
before orchards or collections of other fruit
trees We're at all common.
The grape came originally from Persia
From the latter country as civiliza ton ad-
Fanced westward. this fruit accompanied it
-nrSt to Egypt, then to Greece Sicily
italy. Spain, France and then to Great
Britain, to which latter country the Ro-
mans carried it 200 years after Christ. To
America the seeds and plants of the Euro
pean varieties were brought by emigrants
and colonists the first fifty years after its
settlement. There are vast number of
varieties OF grapes, but there are really
only about dozen varieties good for the
table. California produces the Tokay Mus
cat, Black Prince, Malaga, etc. while the
eastern states produce such varieties as
the Concord Catawba, Niagara Delaware
Black Hamburg and Isabella.

aglow. The cause of liberty and JUS

UPRISING THREATENED.
Uncle Sam Will Take Early Action
With Trouble in San DOMINGO.

Washington, Nov. S.-A revolutionary
movement has developed in San Do
mingo and ali uprising is threatened.
News to this effect has reached the
government here and the proper steps
are being taken by the navy depart
ment at the instance of the state de-
pertinent to maintain the peace.
The news of this uprising, the first
in many months. or indeed since Mo-
rales installed American customs col
lectors at the island ports, came to the
state department, last night from one
of its representatives in Santo Domin-
go. There was a lack of details, the
statement being merely that an upris-
ing had occurred at Macoris, directed
against the adminiStra ton of President
Morales.
The news was Immediately commune
Gated to the navy department and an
order was dispatched by cable to Rear
Admiral Bradford, who is at Guanta-
namo, Cuba. to send Il warship at once
to the scene of the trouble. A ship can
be sent to Macoris in half a day.
Unofficial advices had reached here
before this news came to the effect that
there was danger of an uprising in the
island. but the Goth instant was the
date fixed for the attack. Nothing is
known definitely as to the cause of this
outbreak. but it is said here that the
leaders were financed from New York
with purpose of stirring up strife
just in season to adversely influence
the United States Senate on the pend
ing SantO Domingo treaty.

Secretary Root will win a great vic
tory over self by reconsidering, as
secretary of state. the Judgment which
Biondi calls mistaken and cruel and
he proposes that Secretary Root. being
no longer the counsel of his adversa-
ries, and therefore no longer bound by
professional ties, but being invested
with higher and nobler mission, that
of safeguarding the public interest
should act as sole arbiter between him
self and the museum. as now through
his exalted position Mr.. Root may re-
gard things from a different point of
view. Biondi will accept this verdict
