THE Fly.
JOHN KEsDR1cK BANGS.


JOHN KENDRIcK BANGS.
A fly
To my eye
Is wonderful thing.
He buzzcs about all the day on his wing
gossamOr, fiibberty, gibberty thing.
You wouldn't surmise
4 thing of his size
Had strength for all of the tasks that he tries.
For instance. today
was reading away
OF fairies and gn0mes and the pranks that they
When fly
Came by,
And then he began
On horrible plan
OF worrying,
Flurrying,
Scurryingin
And flicking the ends of my nose and my chin,
Until I'd
Liked to died
With wrath and chagrin.
Now. I'm big thing
The fly he was small
He'd mop and he'd fling,
He'd buzz and he'd sing,
While would do nothing at all
But whack at that fly
Each time he came by,
Deep wrath in my eye;
never could hit him, however I'd try.
whacked for two hours
With all of my powers;
And when ft was done
sat weary
And teary-
While he was as fresh as when he had begun.

MANS VALUE IN Cash.


DIR. Erastus Holt, of Portland,
Maine, in an address before the
American Medical Association at
Boston recently contended that the
economic value of a laboring man
wanes after the fortieth year. He
presented elaborate tables showing
that a mans value in money can
actually be determined by taking
into consideration his occupation and
age.
In his table showing the value of
individuals on the American labor
ing class he states that at ten years
of age, on 3H per cent. discount
basis, boy is worth $2o61. .o2; at
fifteen years Of age he is worth
$4263. 60; at twenty-five he is worth
$5488.o3, and from that time on his
value decreases, until at seventy he
is worth but $I7.I3, and at eighty
years of age he is drawback on the
The professional man at twenty
five years of age has an economic
value of SIS, 1893. .o4, and his highest
value is at forty years of age, when
he is worth $2o, ,344.6S.
DIR. Holt says that all damage to a
person through accident should be
assessed by a jury in a systematic
manner, and not i'll a haphazzard
way, as it is done at present. He
advocates the plan of having every
man and woman procure for himself
or herself an economic rating, which
he explains as follows:
"There is nothing of more impor-
tance to be instituted in the science
and practice of medicine than the
carefully made records of physical
and laboratory examinations of every
person. They should be instituted
when the child enters school and re-
peated at stated times during the
whole period of school life. A new
school officer would be necessary,
who would analyze child, detect all
abnormalities and aid in correcting
them during school life, and thus
have the body improved with the
mind. From these records data
could be obtained, which would give
the rating of the child, taking into
consideration his function ability, on
which his technical ability SO largely
depends. With this work carried
out during school life it would soon
demonstrate its own importance by
making these records of the highest
value in the training of the mind and
body, the promotion of health, the
prevention of disease and the ad-
vancement of the race"

A LITTLE girl asked her mother if
there were any men in heaven.
Mamma" she said, 81 never saw
a picture of an angel with beard or
a mustache. Do men ever 60 to
heaven?'
"Oh, yes" replied her mother /;
'men go to heaven, but it's always
by close shave"

BLAINE AND THE TRAMP.

When Blaine was a young lawyer,
and cases were few, he was asked to
defend poverty stricken tramp, ac-
cused of stealing watch. He
pleaded with all the ardor at his
command, drawing so pathetic pic
ture with such convincing energy
that at the close of his argument the
court was in tears, and even the
tramp wept.
The jury deliberated but few
minutes, and returned the verdict
mot guilty"
Then the tramp drew himself up,
tears streaming down his face as he
looked at the future plum d
knight and said: "Sir, never
heard so grand plea. l have not
cried before since 1 was child. I
have no money with which to pay
YOU, but drawing package from
the depth of his ragged clothes)
here's that watch take it and well
come. ."-Boston Herald.

DOCTORS FEES.
A Medical View of the Charges and
Work of Physicians.

Medical View of the Charges and
Work of Physicians.
The law Of supply and demand regu-
lates medical compensation to very
great extent. 1t is natural phenOme-
non, over which neither the professor
nor the laity have much control. Where
there are many physicians of equal
ability competition grinds down the
fees. If the income drops below living
expenses the least successful leave the
community or take up other means Of
getting bread and butter The fittest
survive, and in every locality the COM
position of the profession is in state
of constant fluX-never the same from
year to year and constantly regulating
itself to the work to be done. When a
man develops exceptional skill his serv-
ices are demanded more and more.
They are bid up by competitors on the
other side. He is, indeed, compelled to
raise his fees to prevent OverwOrk,
strange as that may seem. He would
not be doing his duty by his patients if
he tried to treat hundred a day, and
that many would crowd his offices if
his fees were % cents. 1t is also fact
that surgeon can do more now than
ever before-a few can do wonders as
compared with the surgeons of a cen
tury ago-and they receive more in pro-
portion by the operation of natural
law How they gained this ability is
hmmaterial to the question. Indeed,
not all have ability to profit by fortui-
tous opportunities to learn surgery

THE NASAL OF AFRICA.
A Queer Race Where the Men Be-
come Old at Thirty.


The young men of that African race,
the Nasal, are all warriors, theoretical
ly, between the G%ci 40 .J:5Ximately of
seventeen and tWenty-Seven. When in
this stage they are known in their own
language as ell moran. They pull the
head hair out to it's greatest length,
even sometimes twisting and plating
fiber and string into their wool. The
hair is then tilickly coated with mutton
fat and red claJ and tel into perukes.
All hair ON the face and body is pluck
ed out by iron tweezers. The skin is
kept constantly fabricated with NUT
ton fat mixed with red clay, but as a
rule the body is not disagreeably oily,
and this fabrication only has the result
of giving a beautiful polish to their
statuelike forms.
AS regards the body there is proba
bly, no more beautifully formed type of
man than the young Nasal warrior.
The face is sometimes in keeping with
the body, but more often has q rather
brutal aspect. The Nasal are not pure
negroes, but obviously received a very
long while ago a slight infusion Of
Hamitic blood from races dwelling to
the east of the White Nile. While they
are in the youngman-warror stage the
Nasal live principally on milk and on
blood drawn from the veins of living
cattle. They also occasionally eat the
meat of oxen, goats or sheep.
When a Nasal decides that he has
had enough knocking about and has
accumulated sufficient property on
which to retire he decides 10 marry.
This is usually about the age of TWEEN
ty-seven to thirty. After marriage he
shaves his head, or at any rate keeps
the hair of his head very close cropped.
He ceases to anoint himself with NUT
ton fat and definitely ranges himself
with the old men
