TroIIope at Work.

1t was the customary habit OF An
thony Trollope, perhaps the most me-
thodical Of we'll known English novel
lists, to always write with his watch
open on his desk. When ut work he
drilled himself into the practice Of
writing 250 words every quarter Of an
hour and placed his watch before him
10 make sure Of completing his thou
sand words an hour. he poohpoohed
the Idea of waiting for Inspiration and
punctually produced his copy with the
regularity Of clockwork whatever his
mood at the moment He made a cal
culation to show that in this way, by
working at his desk only three hours
daily, he could write ten pages of an
ordinary novel a day and finish three
novels comfortably each year. Troll
lope could also write as easily In rail-
way carriages while travelling as at his
desk and, as n matter of fact, composed
most Of 'Barchester Towers" general
ly considered to be his best novel, IN
this way.

OLD TIME DOCTORS.
The students Helped Their Teacher.
In Practical Work.

In Practical Work.
During the eighteenth century IN
America the medical education OF a
young student was generally what he
picked up by serving as an apprentice
TO some noted practitioner. which COM
bined the duties OF a student with
many mental affairs
He ground the powders. mixed the
pills, rode with the doctor on his
rounds, held the basin when the pa
dent was bled. helped TO adjust the
with walls of medicine from one end
OF town TO the other IL was n white
day when such n young man enjoyed
the rare good fortune Of dlssecting a
half putrid arm. So great indeed was
the difficulty of obtaining anatomical
subjects that the medical school Of
Harvard college made n single body
do duty for a whole year.
Under such circumstances the doc
tors knowledge was practical and de-
rived from personal experience rather
than from books. The advantages of
study were sparingly enjoyed. Few
physicians boosted Of a library OF fifty
volumes
His apprenticeship ended. the stu
dent returned to his native town to as
sumo the practice Of medicine. at that
period. with the exception Of the min
lister and the judge, the doctor was the
most important parsonage In his COM
munity. His genial face. his engag-
ing manners, the sincerity with which
he inquired after the carpenters daugh-
ter and the interest which he took IN
the family Of the poorest laborer made
him the favorite for miles around. He
knew the names and personal history
OF the occupants Of every house he
passed. The farmers lads pulled of
their hats TO him and the girls dropped
courteSies as he passed. Sunshine and
rain. daylight and darkness, were alike
TO him. He would ride ten miles In
the darkest night over the worst Of
roads in n pelting storm to administer
dose Of calOmel to an old woman or
attend q child in fit.
The drugs were slowed away on the
shelves of the village store, among
heaps of shoes. Rohan hats, packages
Of seeds and fiitches OF bacon.
The physician was compelled to COM
pound his own drugs. make his own
tinctures and put up his own prescrip-
tons. His saddlebag was the only
drug store within forty miles. Each
spring the blood must be purified, the
kidneys excited and the damsel who
tainted profusey bled. Large doses
Of SIENNA and mamma and rhubarb and
molasses were taken daily. 1t Is safe
to say that more medicine was taken
every year by the well than Is now
taken by the sick In the same time
Water was denied the patient tor
mented with fever. In its stead was
given u small quantity of clam juice.
Mercury was taken until the lips turn
ed blue and the gums fell away from
the teeth.
