Professional Secrecy

A short time ago an eminent
English barrister retired from
active practice, and in some way
the rumor spread that he was to
publish a volume of reminiscen
ces. This caused no end OF con-
sternation in the families of nu.
merous wealthy and aristocratic
Gle It's, by whom he had been re-
tanned in certain celebrated cas-.
es, and there was corresponding,
ly great relief when he indignant
ly deniet he rumor. He declared
that he was to publish no such
work, that he had kept no diary
in the cases referred to, and that
he had no intention of violating
condolences reposed in him iu his
professional capacity.
There was really little ueed of
such denial. The barrister was
a man of high standing, and no
EyepptabIe man in the law. in Eng:
land on dnJ.if - II
reveals what he leaf i.
dence from his clients.
What is true of The law is also
true of the other professions.
Not only the relations Of client
and lawyer but also those of pa.
tient and physician and OF par.
ishioner and pastor, demand alb
sOlute confidence and the knowl-
edge of things which the world
does not know and need not
know.
The old family doctor and the
beloved clergyman have unnum
bered secrets locked in their bo-
SONS but their lips are forever
sealed. Violations of professional
confidence are so rare that they
may almost be said never TO oc-
cur. Even the newspaper man
has been known 10 keep back
what would make the best "sto
ry" because he learned it in con-
fidence.
The law itself respects and en-
courages such confidence. The
complete trust which is so often
reposed in others under such cir.
cumstances is one Of the things
which cements human society
and the splendid honor which
considers a professional consul
tation as a sacred obligation
teaches us not to lose faith in
human nature.

Holiday and a Vacation.

The man who is particular about
the words he uses was talking.
Il prefer the word holiday to the
word vacation" he said, but find
great many people who scarcely
know what mean when say man
is away for his holiday. Sometimes
they ask me: DO you mean his va
cation?' Holiday is my choice be-
cause in the first place, 1t has an An
glo-Saxon root and Is, therefore, a
more normal word in the English or
American language. Secondly, like
its basic word, holy from 'hael.'
which means health, salvation and
happiness. Vacation comes from
'vacare,' which means merely to leave
vacant. Vacation seems to refer
chiefly to the place which the man
has left. while holiday indicates that
he is in search of-and ! trust is find.
ing-holiness, health, salvation and
happiness. A holiday suggests to me
cheer and gladness. A vacation is
merely rest from work. A vacation
is good enough if you can't get holi
day, but for my part want a holt
day, when my turn comes, and l want
everybody else to have one, too"

An ENGLISH View Of Us.

How utterly different is the way
the Americans view efficiency and in.
efficiency! They 60 for efficiency, we
for character. We lately heard of a
manager OF company in the states
who was tried and convicted for pecu.
lating large sum of money which
should have gone to the shareholders.
He was sent to prison, and his Eng
lish friends-with whom he had been
very popular-thought they had seen
the last of him. But he was no soon.
or out of prison than the company in.
stantly took him on again at an en-.
HANGED salary. The English were
amazed, confounded; but it was ex-
planned to them that to throw away
the services of such clever, extreme.
ly efficient man would have been ar.
rant folly. He is now on the best of
terms with the company and socially
is quite one of the most popular men
of his city. Here we often overlook,
even ostracise, a man because he is
capable; in the states a capable man
Is not ostracised even if scoundrel.

ONE CUNNING OLD RODENT
Successfully Plans to Get the Cheese
Without Being Caught In
the Trap.

Not long ago 1t became problem
In a Brooklyn hotel how to keep down
the population of rats, which had be-
come so bold that they stole from I'M
der the very noses of the cooks. Traps
and poisons were successful at first,
but after few deaths the wary rats
avoided both. The ratcatcher was
then called in, and cats, dogs and fer
rets had their turn, but still the rats
increased.
The steward bagged few with
small rifle, but the rats soon grew too
cautious for him. About all he could
see was the tip of tail or two bright
eyes that disappeared as soon as he
raised his gun. Then he hit upon an
other idea. He swung lid on a bar
rel with swivel, filled the barrel half
full of water. and fastened a lump of
cheese in the center of the lid. AS
soon as rat alighted on either side
of the lid, over he would go into the
barrel, and for while rats were
drowned by the dozen.
1t was at this juncture that the
rodents evidently held council, for
the number OF victims grew steadily
smaller. Sometimes in the morning
there would be two or three rats in
the barrel, oftener there were none at
all. The observant steward felt that
they were all the time trying to fig
ure out how to get that cheese. Some
times two rats would get on the edge
of the barrel, opposite one another. at
the same time, and balance the lid as
they crept toward the center. This
worked well until one or the other
forgot the need for caution, when both
fell in.
Finally oQe old rat mastered the
game For several nights the cheese
disappeared, and there was no rat
there in the morning to show for 1t.
One night the steward caught the rat
in the act Of dropping from pipes
right in the center of the lid. He bal.
anced himself for moment, then
quietly nibbled at the cheese. When
he had satisfied his hunger he care
fully moved off along the line of the
swivel and dropped to the floor. safe.
AT this point the steward acknowl.
edged defeat. He declared that the
man who was smart enough to defeat
those rats was smart enough to do
anything.

WERER's PRIZE BAND
TO BE AT STATE FAIR

John G. Weber's concert band, pop
ularly known as the Prize Band OF
America, is to be the central concert
feature for the Iowa State Fair. Aug.
25-Sept. 2. 1910.
The Weber band is one of the COM
pletest concert organizations in
America. 1t has been trained and
drilled until it is perfect. Many Of
the players have been with other
great leaders and all are among the
very best to be secured.
The Weber band will be re-en-
forced by the Iowa State Band Of
Des Moines, the Reeds Military Band
of Sioux City and the Graham orches-
ira.
The main concerts will be in front
of the amphitheater, but also in the
pavilion, the agricultural hall and on
the plaza. Iowa State Fair music has
gained a reputation as the best in
the state and this year will be no ex-
ception.

GaIlIeocs Telescope.

Very few people are aware that the
first practical telescope, which Calico
used in discovering the satellites of
Jupiter in January. 1910. is still in ex-
istence and preserved at the Museum
of Physics and Natural History in
Florence.
1t is about 300 years since this in
strument was first turned toward the
heavens. Unlike the present astronom-
zeal type, it had concave instead of
a convex eye-piece. just like the opera
glasses now in use.
When Calico first exhibited his new
telescope to the doge and an enthusi-
astic assembly on the tower of st.
Marks in Venice he was overwhelmed
with honors because it was thought
that the instrument would give the
soldiers and sailors of the republic
great advantage over their enemies.
