An Imaginative Statesman.

Imagination is the greatest moving force in the world. In saving th,s ' am merely repeating a remark of Dis raelfs, and to prove the strength of his conviction will repeat story MT. Lowell told me when he was minister to England. It is the custom of the Royal Academy of Painters to hold a private view of their pictures before the public exhibition. Disraeli. walk Ing arm in arm with Brovnina through the galleries, said, What strikes me most forcibly here is the lack of imagination" and he proceeded to enlarge upon the power of imagina- ton, declaring 1t to be the greatest force in the world. In responding to toast at the banquet which followed the private exhibition he dwelt upon the wealth Of imagination in evidence on the walls about him and again ex- pressed his conviction that imagina. tion is the moving force in the world. Browning repeated Disraeli's first re- mark to Gladstone, who sat beside him, and he muttered, "The devil"-. John Trowbridge in Atlantic.

Fourteenth Century Doctors.

Synge's "Secial Life in England@ quotes a number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing. say there IS ali tEstrueti,n n of the liver Perhaps the patient will say "Nay. master 1t is my head or legs that trouble me-" Rereat that it comes from the liver, and especially use the word "ohstruc. tion," for patients do not understand It, which is important.
 Never dine with patient who has tot paid you. It 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 a 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.

First cantaIever Rridoe,

The first cantalever railroad bridge Is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry, Scotland. It is nearly one and half miles in length. Fifty one thousand tons of steel were used in it's construction, employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $10,- 100000 and fifty-six lives. The work men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection it was found that the two ends lacked . sman fracion of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion ot the bolts that were to complete the rpan. For time this was a puzzle, but was finally solved by an ingenious woFkman vho suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

In the more retired will lages. although greatly discouraged by the British authorities, it is said to be still the custom for the sorrowing rel. atives to bear the body of the deceased wrapped in bark on rough bier to some forest thicket, desolate ravine or other unfrequented spot, where 1t is left unburied by the bearers, who nev CT revisit the place again. The Bachl- chi, who are denizens of 6 neighborine village, and distant relatives of the deceased avoid the necessity of burial or cremation and show their respect for the deceased by simply eating him National Magazine.
