Viii Physician,

Doctor Cathelin, of Paris, declares
that no person who does not possess
certain "six moral senses" should at.
tempt to enter the medical profess
sion, viz, the sense Of duty, the sense
of responsibility, the sense Of kind
ness, the sense of manual skill (Which
be subdivides into the N of bold
ness and the ems Of p%rudence), the
sense of beauty and the social role.
1.-THE sense of duty toward the pa
tient," he says, us the very first
requisite in a physician. 1t can only
arise from a positive and innate al
truism or love of ones fellow-crea-
tures-a quality similar to that which
moves the hospital nurse to the care
of the stricken. There can be no per-
sonal s~ensitiveness, nor lack Of in
terest in details, as against an absorb
ing curiosity that complicated cases
arouse, and yet, with all this sense of
duty, which calls for extreme good
ness and sensitiveness of heart. he
must not show a trace OF emotion"

Training the Children.

In the family of the rich Greek
the training of the children was con-
iucted by masters with the soft
sounds of the Attic pipe, thus all
movement of body, mind and speech
was under control and regulation of
gentle, peaceful, pleasant harmony.
Pity this same Attic pipe and system
If beautiful gentle manners were not
introduced into our public schools,
FOR winning manners and gentle de-
oortment is almost the most blessed
heritage a poor girl or boy can re-

A Volcano That Rose in a Night.

In Harper's Weekly Alexander
Hume Ford describes a journey to
the great Samoan volcano, which,
during the four years Of its activity,
has sent forth more lava than any
volcano of which there is human rec
ord. Every minute, it has been COM
puted, 100000 tons of lava flow over
the edge Of the crater and roll on to
the ocean, into which the molten rock
plunges, dissolving into fine sand,
and building up a new. coast-line
along ten miles Of shore. "As 1t
pours itself into the sea-" says the
writer, columns of water are raised
in steam to i~ncalculable heights, and
this, descending in a fine rain OF
zine, destroys vegetation and cor
:odes the galvanized iron roofings OF
churches and trading stations for
miles around"

Tell.tale Tongues.

The latest fad is d%elineating char
acter by the shape of the tongue
Thus, the tongue that shoots out
straight, without turning or waver'
ing, indicates a solid, reliable me-
of affairs. Tongues that turn up in
dictate impractical natures. A down
ward dropping tongue belongs to the
one born to poverty and a ready eye
for the hopeless side of things. The
cruel tongue hattens and broadens
when extended. The delicate speak
Ing organ with curled up edges is the
property of an imaginative and artis'
tic being. When the tongue issues
forth as if gripped in a dental wise it
signifies a love of life more than or
dinary.-Tit-Bits.

Rose That Changes Its Color.

White in the shade, red in the sun
such is the two-fold character that
has given a name to the chameleon
rose. At night or when it is carried
into a dark room 1t assumes a wax
like whiteness. This does not occur
abruptly, but the petals first pass
through a blush tint, which rapidly
changes into q very pale rose and fin
ally ends by becoming the puresl
white. Then, If it is taken into
bright sunlight, with the greatest "a
pidity it resumes the scarlet tint oil

THE POOREST MAN IN THE
WORLD.

Not he that begs upon the street,
Or, homeless, tramps the road,
But he.who fears to squarely meet
The face of man and God;
Who dares not face the hosts of Night,
Meath flag of Truth unfurled,
Who can't afford to do the right
He's the poorest man in the world.
Who can't afford to speak the truth,
To right the ancient wrong,
To take the part of hapless youth,
The weak against the strong;
Who can't afford to shield a name
From venomous arrows hurled
He-not the blind, the lame, the dumb
He's the poorest man in the world.
