Often, ays DR.. Datsumoto, "a
doctor will not only give his time
ana MS medicine freely to the suffer-
er, but he will also give him money
to tide him over his dire necessities.
Every physician has his own dispen-
sary and there are very few chemists
shops in the empire. When a rich
man calls in physician he does not
expect to be presented with bill for
his medical services In fact, no such
thing as Doctors bill is known in
Japan, although nearly all the other
modern appliances are in vogue there.
The doctor never asks for his fee. The
strict honesty of the people makes
this unnecessary. When he has fin
ished with a patient, a present is
made to him of whatever sum the pa
tient or his friends may deem to be
just compensation. The doctor is sup
posed to smile, take the fee, bow,

The YANKEE PASS.

1t was at period soon after the
close of the revolutionary war that
Aaron Whitney, a Yankee peddler,
passed through the Mohawk valley
on his way to Albany. The day was
sunday, and there was law among
the Dutchmen of those parts that no
one should travel on that day More
over, there was as much antipathy
between Dutchmen and Yankees as
there is between cats and mice How
the Dutch ever left Holland to make
sea no historian has ever explained,
for when a Dutchman was once sea-
tied anywhere he never moved. Not
so the Yankee. He would take UP a
piece of land, improve it. sell it and
go somewhere else.

deacons of the Dutch church. see

So they took Aaron before the JUS
tice. He was sitting under an apple
tree near his house, with glass of
schnapps beside him and a long clay
pipe in his mouth. This is not men
toned as an unusual position for the
great man, for all the long day he
sat in no other.
What you travel Sunday for?'

out OF his mouth and looking sternly

Why it is no man has ever told us,

And She did. She had been long

cripples. To secure money for the

As TO LETTER WRITING.
Post Card Extent Of Our Attention @
ReIativea

It Is o well-known fact that no
body writes letters nowadays. 1t is
true we spend vast deal Of time at
our writing table, that we consume
untold quantities Of ink and nibs,
while our stationery bill is by no
means the most modern item OF our
ever-increasing expenditures.
But we neither write nor receive
letters. The utmost we do is to dash
off notes" I'm answer to invitations, to
"scribble a few lines" Of congratula-
ton or sympathy, as the case may be,
with friend; to express briefly but
forcibly our dissatisfaction with our
dressmaker, Or our surprise of our
milliner's account.
