been fined quarterly in sums which prac-
tically amounted to a license.

Younq's Impromptu.

To most persons Edward Young is
the author of "Night Thoughts" and
nothing more, but he was also Il man
Of the world and shrewd and caustic
wit as well as the rector of st. Mary's
church at Welwyn.
1t was there in the garden of the rec
tory that he composed some of the best
impromptu verses known. He was
walking with two ladies when some
one summoned him to the house. His
companions were agreeable, and he
was in no haste to leave them. Turn

Among her numerous friends Joseph
ine remained Yeyette. Barras never
called her otherwise.
The pope was so unfamiliar With
her name that when he sent his bene-
diction the letter borne by his legate
was addressed to "Our Sister In Jesus
Christ, Victoria Bonaparte."
In 1874 on the departure for Elba,
the Debats designated Josephine under
the paraphrase "the mother Of Prince
Eugene"
At Ru.ll her tomb bears this simple
inscription, "a Josephine, Eugene ct
Hortense, 1926" The restoration did
not permit her recognition as empress.

Of "Perola." 1t was only at the dress

1t occurred in the text or lyrics. 1t

Fourteenth Century Doctors.

quotes number Of fourteenth century
hints to success for physicians
Suppose you know nothing, say there
is an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps
the patient will say, "Nay. master, it
is my head or legs that trouble me-"
Repeat that 1t comes from the liver,
and especially use the word "obstruc-
tion," for patients do not understand
1t, which is important.
Never dine with a patient who has
not paid you. 1t will be cheaper to
get your dinner at an inn, for such
feasts are usually deducted from the
surgeons fee.
When you are treating wound or
accident, the friends Of the patient
should be excluded, for they may faint
and cause disturbance, but some
times higher fee may be got from
persons present fainting and breaking
their heads against wood and the like
than from the principal patient.
