Medical Civil Service,

Medicine has as its object the treat ment of disease and the relief of sui fering irrespective of the social stat us or financial position of the patient. says the London Hospital Existing conditions of practice make well-nigh impossible the attainment of this ob- ject. and it Is desirable alike in the in- terests of the public and of the rank and file of the profession that some more satisfactory organization of the conditions of practice should be found. Nothing short of civil serv ice will meet the requirements of the situation. There is growing feel ing. if we mistake not, inside as we'll as outside the profession, in favor of this solution of the problem, and there is no question that this feeling will continue to grow as there is more full appreciation of the truth that, apart from humanitarian considerations, the economic advantages are vastly in its favor.

4 Needed Official,

In an interesting paper NJ. Moure and M. Bouyer relate the extraordi- nary care which Emperor Nero took of his voice. At night Nero lay on his back with thin plate of lead on his stomach. He abstained from fruits and all dishes which could hurt his voice In order not to damage the purity of its sound he ceased har- anguing the soldiers and the senate. He attached to his service an off cer specially deputed to take care of his voice. He talked only in the presence of this singular official, who warned him when he spoke too loudly or forced his voice. and, if the emperor. carried away by some sudden fit of passion. did not listen to his remon. strance. 1t was his duty to stop his mouth with napkin.-Modern Medi. cine

The Nation of Shopkeepsrs.

Napoleon must have been right after all. We are nation of shop keepers. There is nothing in the shop we are not ready to sell at . price, says the London Saturday Re view. We would no doubt sell the Great Seal if we could get a good enough offer from MT. Pierpont Nor gan. Shakespeare folios, first editions of Walton. the portraits of Reynolds, of Romney-these and any other na- tional heirlooms. only given . fat enough offer. we are happy to part with to any foreign nation that has the taste and money to buy them. We can put them up as coolly as Charles Surface did his forbears.

LOOKED SUSPICIOUS TO HIM.
Youngsters Reasoning Natural l,,der
 the Circumstances.

F1ve-year-old Lewis had on several occasions successfully evaded his nurse, and paid surreptitious and de- lightful visits to the workmen on an apartment house in process of build ing at the corner of his block. AS the result of his observations there he un- concsrnedly and without prejudice emitted a choice and varied assort- ment of profanity at the luncheon table. His shocked mother tried to impress upon him that never, never again must he repeat such words But Lewis either lacked discrimina- tion or his parents warning had not been sufficiently impressive, for few days afterward he vented notable addition to his vocabulary of exple- tives. His mother this time waited not for speech, but promptly and firmly seized the young man and washed his mouth out with soapsuds which she had already demonstrated as an effectual spiritual cleanser. A few days afterward Lewis was watch ing the nurse give his six-weeks-old sister her bath, and when nurse care fully washed out the little mouth Lewis asked interestedly: Nurse, has baby been saying naughty words 2"

NEW YORK clTY's BIG DEBT.
Metropolis of the Nation Is Decidedly
 Extravagant.

New York city is the master bill contractor in the world, and the in dividual citizen owes more as a oiti- zen of New York than he does as a citizen of the United States. Next to New York the 25 larger cities of the United States, in the order of their population. are as follows: Chicago, Philadelphia. St. Louis, Boston, Balti- more. Cleveland, Buffalo, San Francis co, Cincinnati, Pittsburg, New Or leans, Detroit, Milwaukee, Washing ton. Newark, Jersey City, Louisville, Minneapolis, Providence, Indianapolis, Kansas City. St. Paul, Rochester. Denver and Toledo. Their population, according to the census of 1900, was about $500, 900, against 3,437 ,000 for Greater New York It is not likely that this proportion has changed much. Now. the total bonded indebt- edness of these 25 cities is about S417 100000, almost $100,00O, 1000 less than that of the metropolis. This means that the per capita debt of the citizens of New York is $145.35, against $4345 for those of the other large cities. Boston with SIG and Cincinnati with $114 come the nearer to approaching New York's record
 while Chicago and San Francisco, ow- ing only SIP per capita each, make the best showings. .-Broadway Magazine.

Atlanta 4, liftle Rock 2.

Atlanta, Ga, July 19.-It's the same old story in the same old way.
 Getting an early lead, the Colts showed the way until the stretch was reached, when the Crackers pulled up even and won, eased up, by two lengths. Score, I to ?.
 The inability of his wards to hit at the right time once more brought sadness to the heart of gentle Mique Finn. The Colts started as tiercely as untamed mustangs. They jumped upon Spade right at the outset for two hits, one a double, for as many runs. It looked as though he was the softest kind of a proposi- ton for the visitors, and the bleacher managers began to shower curses upon Billy Smith because he wouldn't take the pitcher out.
 After this one bad round Spade was all to the good. He allowed the disciples of Finn just two more hits, single by Gilbert in the fifth, with two out, and an other by Woods in the last act, with one out. Neither got furth- CT than second.
