Depends on the Doqs.

Asa Goddard, of the American Auto
mobile association. was recounting in
Worcester some of his touring adven-
lures
"One summer morning." he said,
the approach of great flock of sheep
obliged me to pull off the narrow coun-
try road. halted my car, and watch.
ed with interest the passage of the
sheep, the intelligent dogs and the
shepherd.
Il had a short talk with the shep-
herd about his odd and difficult trade.
Look here said, what do you do,
driving sheep like this on marrow
road when you meet another flock
coming in the opposite direction?
Well,' said the shepherd, we Just
drive straight on, both of We, and the
one that has the best dogs gets the
most sheep"

USED BY THE DOCTORS.
Ninety Per Cent Of the Drugs Pre-
scribed Are Patent Medicines.


Despite the opposition of physicians,
especially of those whose experience
has been neither far reaching nor
profitable, to patent" medicines, nine
ty per cent of all drugs that physi-
clans use are put up and compounded
by manufacturing COMMENSURATE, in
fact, patent" medicines just as truly
as il they were advertised in the
newspapers.
The average doctor knows little or
nothing of pharmacy and is, there
fore, glad to depend on the very medi-
cines, which in public he condemns,
just as he is obliged in many cases
to depend on the diagnosis of the pa.
tient himself, even while publicly de-
crying what he calls "self-diagnosis."
How rapid has been the growth of the
professional use of patent" or "pro-
prietary" medicines is shown in an
article written for the Journal of the
American Medical Association for
September 20, 1906, by A. jacob, M.
d., LII d. He relates that $4,000 pre-
scriptions, compounded in several
drug stores were carefully examined.
From 1850 to 1870 no prescription was
found for patent" or proprietary"
medicines. In 1874 but one prescrip-
ton in 1900 called for ready-to.use
remedies. Between 1875 and 1880 the
number calling for patent" or pro
prietary" medicines equalled two per
cent of the total. This increased TO
per cent in the period between 1886
and 1890. In 1895 it was ~ per cent.
in 1898 it was 15 per cent, and in 1902.
1903 was from 20 to 25 per cent.
DR.. Jacob says that in a large
store he was assured that 10 per cent
OF the prescriptions were for "patent"
or proprietary" medicines, and this
probably is approximately the correct
proportion at the present time. From
this 1t would seem that il the "patent'
and proprietary" medicines are good
enough for physicians to prescribe in
seven cases out of ten they are good
enough for family use in cases of
necessity and where the symptoms
are well known and as easily under.

The Niunard's Wav.

A Philadelphian said Of Miss Anna
T. Jeanes, who has given $1,000,000
for negro education in the south:
Miss Jeanes is a splendid philan-
thropist. To good cause she is gen,
erosity itself Giving promptly and
freely, she has no sympathy with
niggards. | once heard her tell a
story about niggardly rich man of
her childhood.
This man visited a school and
made an address. At the end he
called a little boy up to him and sale: :
Ny lad, have you a purse?'
No, sir
I'm sorry said the rich man. If
you had purse, l should have given
you dime to put in it.
This man was scheduled to speak
again at the school the next month,
and when he came the boys were pre-
pared for him. An empty purse lay
hid in every pair of trousers.
"And sure enough, at the end of the
speech. the man called another boy
and said
Have you purse, my son?
Yes, sir was the eager answer.
I'm glad of it, said the other. If
you hadn't, should have given you a
dime to buy one with San An.

THAT RARE ANIMAL, MAN.
Seldom Caught Before O'Clock in
London, Never in Day Time.

Time was when London was one Of
the capitals where man could be dis
cerned with the naked eye in the day,
time; but now he is almost invisible
except at certain favored spots in the
city and a few eclectic clubs at Pail
Mall.
There was a period considerably
later than the stone age, when this
interesting but rare creature was to
be observed, feeding quite tamely, at
literary and political breakfasts. Later
on, he was still to be enticed by fair
hands to lunch parties, and was some
times found lowering near the tea
table of some beautiful and expert
tanner between five and seven.
But with the new century this rare
creatures habits have altered most
completely, for he is seldom to be
caught before eight p. M on week
days, and has habit, moreover, of
retiring to remote haunts and OBJ
scure thick, IS from Friday night till
Monday afternoon.
1t has been observed that the
younger and best bred specimens ex-
hibit a curious dislike both to the
immature and elderly females of their
kind, but have been known to show
marked animation when enticed by a
young and comely matron, and will, on
these occasions, approach without
fear, and even feed out of her hand

to develop the manufacture of cam

The Simple Life.

A man is simple when his chief care
Is the wish to be what he ought to
be; that is, honestly and naturally
human. We may compare existence
to raw material. What it is, matters
less than what is made of it; as the
value Of work of art lies in the
Towering of workman's skill. True
life is possible in social conditions the
most diverse, and with natural gifts
the most unequal. 1t is not fortune,
or personal advantage, but our turn
ing them to account, that constitutes
the value Of life. Fame adds no more
than does length of days; quality is
the thing-Charles Wagner.

that the race track managers with
