Bio Fiuures.

From the New fork World.
Joseph Caccavajo, a consulting engineer
for realty company, has added TO that
merry game of figures which consists In
estimating future populations of New
York.
BY 1870, this expert believes, we are TO
be a city of 100000. This Is a million
more than the telephone engineers put
into their recent forecast, and more than
a million less than the Federation of
churches counts upon. 1t is permitted TO
prophets thus to differ. Mr. Caccavajo
goes ahead and gives us 9,S00,000 people in
1890, about 100000 in 1910 and 10, $50 900 in
1850.
These figures may or may not be veri-
fled In time. Rates of city growth are
elusive factors. Somebody will live to see
how MIR. Caccavajos tables come out
The fact OF vital present interest is that
while New York is adding visibly to it,
length and breadth as a consolidated city
its growing pains" are felt at their worst
not at it's expanding residence boundaries
but right in the heart of the old city.
According to Mr.. Caccavajo, this Dor
ough will lose in population after 1880
But 1t will not lose in business. Their,
still will be the rush hours" of multi
| tudes coming to work in the morning anC
| going home at night. What the engineer
| counts upon is a multiplication of subwa!
| transit systems into some sort OF proper
| ton to the traffic demands. Such a mul
! tiplication any doctor knows, Is the sol,
remedy. Unless 1t is hastened beyont
| present signs we fear the worst for Mr.
| Caccavajo's figures.

The Physieian,s Apotheosis.
From the New York Globe and Comm
oinl Advertiser

From the New YORK OTlODe ana CONNER
cial Advertiser.
The Emmanuel movement seems in
fair way to become a delight to the
medical profession The Emmanuel
clergy OF Boston, the mother city OF
the new religion, have adopted set OF
rues-framed or approved by Boston
physicians-which in effect declare that
every true believer must have his doc
tor. Rule No. / provides that no per-
son shall be received for the Emmanuel
treatment unless after examination and
consent by his family physician, the
examination TO be filed with the min
ister's records. Rule No. 2 makes II
impossible TO refer the patient for dag
nosis or treatment TO any specialist or
assistant save with the advice and con-
sent of the patients own physician.
And rule No. 3 provides, II you please,
that all patients who are not under the
care OF a physician must choose one
and put himself I'm his care before they
can receive instruction at Emmanuel
church"
Religion could hardly be made more
! thoroughly an adjunct of medicine. The
| family physician could not hope for
more generous apothcosis. For that is
what the Emmanuel movement be-
| comes with the new distribution Of au-
thority--the family doctor becomes the
high priest and all the reverend clergy
men mere train bearers, acolytes and
| bric-a-brac. As consistently as the
medical profession has fought Christian
| Science, that consistency should uphold
| the Emmanuel movement. For II one
Is possessed of the negation of medi-
cine the other could not be more COM
J pletely based upon its whole-hearted
| affirmation.
But these new rules whatever effect
| they may have on the Emmanuel move
ment as something new in Christian
sectaranism, should be of substantial
help TO that propaganda in medicine
| proper which declares that the doctor
should be considered primarily, not as
| q means to cure us when we become III
but as a means to keep us from be-
coming i'll. We should go to him when
well in order that we may not have
| to go to him on any other occasion.
For, as modified, the Emmanuel move
ment would seem almost TO declare that
the relations of the family physician
should be appurtenant, not accidental f;
constant not dependent upon sickness.

HORSE TROUBLES.

Capped Hock-Practically all swellings
on the point of the hook are called
capped hook" The trouble is usually
due to some kind of bruise. or the
swelling may be due to an injury to the
skin and subcutaneous tissue alone. When
the skin alone is involved 1t puts on pres
sure. If the tendon It injured, 1t is hard.
1t rarely causes lameness.
Treatment---In the early stages cold ap-
piications should be made. Follow this
with any of the well known bisters. III
the swelling feels soft It should be opened
and the fluid allowed to escape.
Sidebones-Dr. McAdree says that side
bones should not be confounded with ring
bones. The sidebone is just above the
heel of the horse. 1t is a mere cartilage.
10 save Inflammation there when the horse
works and travels. On low heels and es-
pecially on heavy horses, they put a
good deal of weight on the heels; they
get feverish there and Inflammation sets
in. These cartilages harden and become
bone in the effort of nature to mend VI
the little strain or make good the worl
OF Inflammation there, and when they are
bony and hard you have a horse that tC
some extent will get sore as he works
You can see 1t in the gait and you car
tilages and try to move them.
Treatment-Most veterinarians use
blister and counter-irritation. Any of th'
blisters suggested for SPAWN, splints o.
ringbone will prove effective.

Then the Premier Smiled.

During recent deputation of suf-
fragettes to Mr.. Asquith. number of
minister's study, and following them
came quietly dressed lady whom none
of them knew. When they were all
assembled, Mr.. Asquith addressed the
leader Of the deputation: II suppose
you are willing to accept responsibility
for the good behavior of all these la
dies?' he said. Certainly" replied the
ffragette-in chief. But" she added,
pointing to the quietly dressed woman
who was looking on at the scene, Il
cannot make myself responsible for
that lady, as / do not know her" oh"
replied the premier, with a smile. Il
think l may accept responsibility for
her She Is my wife" After that the
deputatiOn got through their business
as quickly as possible.

A Journ.,;.t ps6ned.

People who read the newspapers, but
are not familiar with newspaper work.
commonly refer to newspaper men as
journalists. Many enterprising young
gentlemen, as a rule just out OF coll
lege, style themselves journalists. Just
how 1t is in other cities do not know
but 1 do know that in New York the
Journalist" is considered a joke along
the Rialto, says a writer in the Editor
and Publisher.
People who are connected with the
editorial department of newspapers are
in journalism, but never yet heard a
live one call himself journalist any
more than have ever heard a skillful
doctor called a physician. 1t seems to
be a distinction without a difference,
yet there is a difference.
Henry Watterson-"Marse Henry
once said that he was trying to be q
newspaper man and that some time in
the future he might become a jour-
nalist, but he hoped not.
The following are some original def
nitions regarding the difference be-
tween a newspaper man and journal
list:
Charles d. McCaull. of Brady & Girls
com: "A journalist writes for the
waste basket. A newspaper man writes
copy with pencil"
Joseph Dillon, with James X. Hack
EFT: "A journalist wears a cane when
he goes out on an assignment"
Peter c. Hackney, Bowlers' Journal
"A journalist wears one shirt two
weeks. A newspaper man wears two
shirts one week"
William L. Sutphin, Real Estate:
When l am interviewed by some one
who does not grasp the reality situa-
tion after nave told him several times
think he must be a journalist"
Fred w. Shipman, New York World:
"A journalist writes pieces for the
papers. A newspaper man writes news
stories.r
Samuel f. Kingston, with Floren5
Ziegfeld, jr.: "A journalist eats his
lunch at a beanery.' A newspaper mar
lunches at a chophouse or a restau-
rant"

Lord Kitchener and the Coins.

Lord Kitchener is looked upon as a
stern man, but he has a sense of hu-
NOR. one day, when a pompous indi-
vidual was claiming old friendship
with him on the plea that their fami-
lies were friends two generations ago.
Lord Kitchener said, with a twinkle in
his eye: IF your grandfather lived
and worked with mine, they must have
been selling tea In the same shop"
Another time, in an up-country church,
seeing the moment of the collection ap-
preaching. ne took ont half-a crown
and put II on the seat before him. A
certain millionaire, who was in the
same pew, ostentatiously took out q
piece OF gold. Lord Kitchener then
as If ashamed-took out another piece
of silver and the millionaire took out
another of gold. This went on till there
were six pieces of money before each
man. At this moment the plate came
round, and the millionaire put in his
six gold coins, whereupon Lord Kitch-
ener quietly put five of his back into
his pocket, and dropped in his origina,

my baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the frying-pan full of
boiling grease was upset and it went

Some one wiped the scald with tow

her to a doctor. He tended her a week
and gave me some stuff to put on. But
it all festered and l thought the baby
was disfigured for life. l used about
three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and

Out of the mouthes OF Babes.

From the New York Herald.
Every Sunaay some one threw a button
fnto the contribution box OF the little
church. The annoyed pastor confided to
his wife that he suspected the button
thrower to be stingy old Deacon c., who
had so strongly opposed his cali TO the
pastorate, but that he dare not accuse
him of it for lack of evidence.
At church "sociable" that week some
one suggested the playing of games
Deacon @. had just partaken of oyster
soup at some one else's expense and felt
warmed and expensive.
why not play button, button-whos 8
got the button?" he inquired of a group
of waiting children.
'Oh, yes!" exclaimed his youngest
daughter with enthusiasm. "And you
lend us the button, papa! Then she drew
back timorously. Unless you want to
save 1t for next Sundays contribution"
she added considerably.
