chat than anything else, he had asked
the man if he could tell him the time.
For reply, the smith had dipped his
finger in water, lifted one Of the ami
mails hind hoofs, described a circle
thereon, and regarded it intently.
1T he art past eleven, sir" he said.
And Mr.. Ashton was puzzled. Here
was a phase of local wisdom he had
not met yefore. He questioned the
man, but the latter was curt.
DO ee think I've been all these
years shoein' bosses and don't know
how to tell time by 'em?" he said.
And with that Mr.. Ashton had to be
content
But the matter worried him. and in
the evening he rode over to the forge
and proffered half a crown in return
for the information for which he
thirsted.

She Had Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of the
heat and prickly sensation, it is time

There is no end to the nervous con-

another way in another. In this case
the lady lived in 8. OAK. She says:
Il have had to lie awake half the

A Comedy In Church.

A country minister, who was much
annoyed by two members of his con-
~gregation, Macpherson and Mackin-
tosh, sleeping during the sermon, hit
on a way to put an end to this state of
matters. Calling on Macintosh. he
said: by the way, Mr.. Macintosh.
have you ever noticed Mr.. Macpherson
sleeping during the sermou?"
Many a time," replied Macintosh,
vrtuously.
well, next Sunday you might sit
beside Macpherson and try to keep
him awake"
Certainly, I'll do that. SIR" said
Macintosh.
Then the minister went to Macpher.

that while on a recent visit to Shrop-

He was awakened quite early by the

PRESCRIPTIONS in LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans.
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue Is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
professional etiquette" occupies q
prominent place In the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict
u analysed professional etiquette"
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, Individually and col.
l~ectively."
Among the things that "is hest for
the doctor" is the writing of his pre-.
Scriptions In Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only OF
what 1t is taking for its Ills. but Fore
ing a call upon the doctor each time
. prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions In Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let US say that you have the ague.
You had It last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
lin Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease,
and 30 each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him ar oppor-
tunity to repeat his prescription-in
Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
II you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin In writing his prescriptions, why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity Of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. 1t will be a
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer, but 1t will hardly convince
you.
It would be a good thing for the pub
lie to devise q little code Of ethics Of
its own; ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one Of the rules of this
code of ethics to you, the individual.
You call In the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe, or any Of
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in
Latin, and you take this, to you, NEAR
ingless scribble to the druggist to
have It compounded. Right here is
whore you come In, II you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation Of that prescription. 1t is
your privilege to know what you are
taking. While the Doctors code Of
ethics may not recognize this right it
= yours just the same.
With the translated prescription in
your possession you have two distinct
advantages. You know what you are
taking, and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
will be able to tell him what drugs you
have been putting into your system,
and also II you should have the same
disease again you can save yourself
. visit to the doctor, and his fee, by
taking this translated prescription to
the druggist once more and having Il
Senlled.

GYRoscoPE As COMPASS.

Warships.

lts Use In Steering Steel Vessels and
Warships.
The mariners compass occasionally
fails of its purpose in these days Of
iron ships and cargoes Of a magnetic
nature. This especially is the case in
warships, where the huge masses Of
iron and steel in guns and gun terrets,
etc., are liable to affect the reading Of
the compass.
It is the usual practice to make all
possible corrections, but gun turrets
have to be moved around, and the cor.
rections cannot always be trusted.
Again, the shock due to the firing Of
big guns is bad for the compass. DR..
H. Anschutz-K ampfe has invented a
new form Of steering standard, de-.
pendent for its operation upon tho
principle of the gyroscope.
This apparatus has been subjected
to exhaustive tests ON a battleship,
where amid the firing of great guns,
the movement Of the turrets and such
other disturbing influences as would
effectually have disposed Of the ordi.
nary compass it behaved with remark
able precision and zane out Of the
trials quite uninjured. The apparatus
consists essentially Of an electrically
operated gyroscope carrying an indica,
ting needle and pivoted within an arc
similar to that Of the ordinary com.
pass. !.
The instrument does not necessarily
point north and south, but it tends
continually to point to any direction
in which It IL set, and thus to indicate
any change of direction of the ship. It
il not proposed to displace the marin.
er's compass by means Of this instru.
ment, for its readings would tend to
become inaccurate after long periods
of use without resetting by some
standard. 1t will serve a. q useful
supplement to the compass.
