Amateur Doctors.

There was an opinY,s stiffness In
the house as the great physician en-
tered and made his way to his pa
tents room. Hastily he made his
examination, his eyes showing the
deep sympathy he felt.

A Rrihe Which Failed.

The incorruptibility of English
judges is practically beyond dispute,
yet some of the countrymen of the
judges do not realize it. Judge
Morris tells of a case in which an
Irish baronet, who held strong no
tions as to the divine rights of land
lords, refused to pay for the dam
ages done by his deer to the .turnip
crop of a farmer into whose fields
they had broken. The baronets
point was that the deer were wild
and that therefore he could not be
held responsible for them. The
court, needless to say, made short
work of his plea. But before the
case came on he must needs have
one of the deer shot by a keeper
and haunch sent to the judge who
was to try the issue. OF course the
gift was returned with scathine
denunciation. 'My dear fellow
said Chief Justice Mcmahon when
the righteous judge told him OF the
affair, "you should have taken the
scoundrels haunch, eaten it and
sent him to Jail for contempt Of

Tho Effect Of Wind on Lakes.

Attention has been called to the
very remarkable effect of the wind
on various inland bodies of water.
1t is not unusual for the residents
in towns on the shores of lakes to
be greatly Inconvenience, provided
a heavy wind blowing on shore con-
tinues for any length of time. In
the Baltic sea the level has been
altered for upward Of eight feet.
Sometimes the water is blown out
Of a channel, leaving it almost dry.
In one instance a depression Of SIX
feet occurred on one side Of body
of water, with q corresponding rise
of six feet on the other. Lake Erie
has been known to alter its level a
distance of fifteen feet on account
of heavy Winds, and Lake Michigan
was at on, time the subject Of con-
siderable interest from the same
cause. The wind was heavy and
continuou, and piled the water up
on one side, while the other was so
low that people walked out upon
rocks where in the memory OF man
no feet had ever trodden.

Tired Of the Even Thousand

John Hollister was one OF the
most popular men in Washington.
He was always doing favors for 9th
er people and never asking any tor
himself. An acquaintance, know
ing his proverbisl good nature, had
abused his confidence.
One day Hollister was standing
in the Arlington hotel lobby when
this man came up to Hollister and
said very effusively:
'I'm a thousand times obliged to
you for what you said to Secretary
Foster. I got the place"
"And you are q thousand times
obliged p" queried Hollister in his
most innocent manner.
eyes, indeed; q thousand times"
"Say, can't you make it 1900,
Just once? You've been a thou
sand times obliged on several oocs-
sions, If I am to believe you."-

6reat Minds Think Alike.

Pat had got hurt, not much more
than a scratch, it is true, but his
employer had visions of being com-
PEELED to keep him for life and had
adopted the wise course Of sending
him at once to the hospital.
After the house surgeon had e1-
amined him carefully he said to the
nurse:
Gas sulcutaneous abrasion is not
observable, 1 do not think there is
any reason to apprehend tegumen.

Then, turning to the patient, he
asked quizzically, "What do you
think, Pat?"
"Sure," said Pat, you're a won
derful thought reader, doctor. You
took the very words out of my
mouth. That's just what I was 60
ing to say."-Pearson's Weekly.

REPRooFs IN BUSINESS.
Something That Calls For the Exercise
Of Much Tact

'If there's one thing" said the
business man rehectively, "that calls
for the exercise of infinite tact it is
the giving of reproofs. There are of
course some occasions when the
manner Of rebuking doesn't have to
be taken into consideration-occa-
sions when the reprimaRd should
be as decisive and sharp as you can
make it. But there are other times
plenty of them-when a quick
word is the worst possible medicine
to administer. An employer OF
superintendent owes it to his posi-
ton, to say nothing of what he owes
to the men under him, to take into
consideration the kind of man to
whom he is talking. Personally !
don't believe in coddling, but l
know that gradations in reproofs
give weight to those I want to make
emphatic.
Every one makes mistakes ct
one time or another, and l think it's
only fair to be charitable to the en-
ployee who errs through zeal or as
the result of ignorance. If man
is trying to do his best you know it
or you ought to, and such man in
evitably loses his interest in his
work when he is subjected to any
thing that looks to him like injus-
tice.
"Sone people--and this classifca-
ton includes one or two by whom
I've been employed myself don't
seem to realize that feelings aren't
entirely eliminated in business deal
ings. They are hard taskmasters;
their method of riding is roughshod.
They'd get more help on the way if
they used different tactics.
dts the spirit of cooperation
that Pm trying to hold up as an
ideal. The moment the head of an
establishment gets his associates to
sense the fact that they are all pull.
ing together for a common end he
has gone a long way toward assur-
ing success. That needn't detract
from his position as director, ruler
whatever you want to call it-in
the least. It's simply insistence on
team play, and it is by team play
that our industrial and commercial
games are won" ."--Exchange.

Won His Bet.

One of the most singular wagers
which might be taken to be the out
come of growing industrial age
was made and decided in 1911. Sir
John Throckmorton at that time
bet a thousand guineas that he could
have a coat made in day from the
first shearing Of the sheep to the
last stitch of the tailors needle.
According to the agreement, at B
in the morning Sir John gave two
Southdown sheep to Mr.. Co1eter:
The sheep were shorn, the wool
"spun," the yarn "spooled, warped,
doomed and wove," the cloth "bur-
red, milled, rowed, dyed, dried,
sheared and pressed" At 4 o'clock
in the afternoon it was in the hands
of tailor. At exactly twenty min
utes past 6 that workman finished
his task and the completed coat was
presented by Mr.. Co1eter to Sir
John, who put it on and appeared
lin it before q crowd of 5000 ap-
plauding spectators.-Metropo

INTESTINAL TROUBLES.
coiitis, IT. Causes and the Way II
Should Be Treated.


Colitis is an inflammation Of the
colon, or large intestine. 1t occurs
in several forms. Simple catarrhal
colitis is a not uncommon affection.
1t may arise from the same cause
as catarrh of other mucous men,
branes, as of the bronchial tubes,
for example, or it may be caused by
the presence in the intestine of in
digestible or partly decomposed
food. A not infrequent cause is
constipation, the matters which
should be discharged being retained
and by their presence setting up an
irritation.
The most frequent symptom is
diarrhea. This usually comes on
suddenly and IS watery in character,
often tinged with blood. Associ-
atcd with this is considerable abb
dominal pain, occurring in parox-
ysms - cole and following the
course of tee large intestine at one
or the other side of the abdomen or
along its upper border.
The appetite is poor, the tongue
is coated with white fur, nausea is
common ard vomiting sometimes
occurs. There is usually more or
less fever, and the pulse is rapid
and weak.
The treatment consists in abso-
lutte rest in bed, very restricted
diet Cpreferably milk and limewa-
ter in small quantities. and the ad-
ministration of astringent remedies.
The latter is, of course, to be left
to the physician, for much harm
may be done by injudicious medica-
ton. The symptoms Of dysentery
are very similar to those of the dis
ease under consideration, but dysen-
terry is a much more serious affec-
ton. The possibility that the dis
ease is dysentery rather than simple
colitis is an added reason for seek
ing medical advice and not attempt
ing to cure. the trouble with do
mestic treatment.
Another and more serious form
of Inflammation of the colon Is
what is called membranous colitis.
This disease occurs usually in young
adults and in women more COM
monty than in men. The initial
symptoms are similar to those Of
simple colitis, but the diarrhea
does not last long and alternates
with periods of obstinate constipa-
ton. In the passages, especially
during the periods of constipation,
are patches of membrane, some
times of considerable size, looking
like wet parchment, formed OF
sheets of tenacious mucus.
The subjects of this disease,
which is chronic in character, are
usually dyspeptic, suffering much
from flatulence, anaemic and de-
pressed in spirit. The treatment is
mainly hygienic. The patient should
live much in the open air, have
long hours of sleep, eat plenty OF
nourishing food, scrupulously avoid
ing fried meats, pastry and other
indigestible articles of diet. A
change of air and scene is often
curative in its effects. The patient
should also if possible have some
light but interesting occupation,
which will serve to turn his mind
from his ailment.-Youth's Com
panion.

HOW THEY DINED.
Methods Of the English At 1ab>e In
the Seventeenth Century.

the Seveneeonth SehtUrS'
The old English had three meals
a day, of which the chief meal was
taken when the work of the day was
finished. The first meal was at 9
o'clock, dinner was about 3 o'clock,
and supper was taken just before
bedtime. The Normans dA2d at
the old English breakfast time or a
little later and supped at Z p. M.
In Tudor times the higher classes
dined at IL and supped at 5 o'clock,
but the merchants seldom took
their meals before 70 and 6.o'clock.
The chief meals, dinner and sup
per, were taken in the hah both by
the old English and the Normans,
for the parlor did not come into use
until the reign of Elizabeth. Break
fast did not become a regular meal
until quite lately, and DR.. Murray
in the Oxford Dictionary gave 1913
as the date OF the earliest quota
ton in which the word occurred.
The meal did not become recog-
nized until late in the seventeenth
century, for Pepys habitually took
his draft of half a pint of Rhenish
wine or dram of strong waters in
place of morning meal. Dinner
was always the great meal Of the
day, and from the accession of Hen
ry ". to the death of Queen Eliza
beth the dinners were as sumptuous
and extravagant as any OF those
now served.
Carving was then a fine art. Each
guest brought his own knife and
spoon, for the small fork was not
introduced into England until
Thomas Coryate of Odcombe pub
lished his "Crudities' in 1911.
Pepys took his spoon and fork with
him to the lord mayors feast in
1868. The absence of forks led to
much stress being laid upon the act
of washing the hands both before
and after meals and to the rule
that the left hand alone should be
dipped into the common dish, the
right hand being occupied with the
knife.
The perfect dinner at the best
time of English cookery consisted
of three courses, each complete in
itself, and terminated by subtlety
or device, the whole being rounded
off with hippocras, after which the
guests retired into another room,
where pastry, sweetmeats. and fruit
were served with the choicer wines.
The English we're essentially meat
eaters, and it was not until the
time of the Commonwealth that
pudding attained its extraordinary
popularity. Indeed the first men
ton Of pudding in the menus of
the buckfeast at st. Bartholomew
hospital did not occur until ITO,
and in 1712 is an item of 5 shillings
for ice.-London Times.

By ORDER OF SECRETARY TAFT
Eighty -four Inmates of Fort Leaven-
worth Set Free.

Leavenworth. Kan, Jan. 29.-Eigh-
at, Fort -Leavenworth. most of them
men who had been punished for. de-
sertion from the army, were released
Monday on an ordcr from the secre-
tary of war.
This is the largest number of men
ever freed from any prison at any one
time. The men had been sentenced
to serve from one year up in the
prison and all had done one year
They were recommended for clemency
by Lieutenant Colonel Young, COM
mandant of the prison, because of
good behavior.
There was not enough citizens
clothing in the prison for them and
several remained in prison last night
and will for few days until it can be
supplied. The government has made
no appropriation for giving the men
transportation to their homes, as is
done in the United States penitentiary
and they have been turned adrfft
without a cent in their pockets.
The majority came to Leavenworth
during the day and begged for food
and shelter for the night. Some of
them managed to get as far as KAN
sas City with money borrowed from
soldiers at Fort Leavenworth.
The chiefs of police in Leavenworth,
Atchison. Kansas City and ST. Joseph
were notified by Colonel Young to pre-
vent them picking the men up as de-
serters from the army
