Fourteenth Century Doctors.


 Synge's Social Life in England" quotes a number of fourteenth century hints to success for physicians:
 Suppose you know nothing, say there .s an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps the patient will say, "Nay, master, it Is my head or legs that trouble me" Repeat that it comes from the liver, and especially use the word "obstruc. tion," for patients do not understand it. which Is important
 Never dine with a patient who has not paid you. It will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeon's fee.
 When you are treating a 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.

THE PRICE OF GENIUS.
what I& Means to Man to ee . Pionees
 In Thought.

J0 nou9nts
 To be a pioneer in thought fe to Etand alone with nature. not for few minutes. but for life. The isolateness If the few great minds of each gen. sration of men is utterly undreamed pf, for want of understanding, by those about them. Yet think what 1t is to pass cues days in a thought world where the thinker roams alone; to grapple with problems the very terms of which are beyond ordinary comprehension and the solution appre- ciated only in years to come; to con. template in lonely ecstasy. after still Ioneler despair, the revelation that ..cnes with months and more of pon. dering. When some one asked New. ton how he came to make his wonder tul discoveries he replied, Simply by always thinking about them" Consid. CT Kepler toiling year after year fruit lessly for some ratio that should link the planets motions by general law. calculating assiduously and putting hypothesis after hypothesis aside as he found it would not work until at last, after almost inconceivable toll, he hit upon the one that would.
 As if this loneliness by nature were not enough, 1t must needs be accen- tuated by man, for he rises in such cases in chorus to condemn. Consider Darwin, in patient study, testing the working out of natural selection and adding fact to fact, only to have the whole denounced as ridiculously ab. surd. Think you the denunciations of the master while living are wholly compensated by the plaudits after he Is dead? The loneliness of greatness Is the price men make the genius pay for posthumous renown.-Percival Lowell in Atlantic.

No Wonder the Bird Was Not Tender
 When Served.
 One of the most annoying things about swans is that they live to an extremely great age and that it is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what their years may be. President Grover Cleveland once had an amusing experience with some evans, according to a writer in the American Magazine. He had been in the south shooting and brought home a number of wild swans, one of which he sent to each member of his cabi- net and to some other associates.
 All the boys," said MT. Cleveland, thanked me politely for having re- membered them, but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds.
 Carlisle, l found, had his cooked on a night when he was dining out. Another, when asked him, said he hoped I wouldn't mind, but he had sent his home to his old mother. Thur Der didn't mention his bird at all for two days. Finally asked him about It.
 'Thurber, did you get that swan all right?'
 ".Yes, sir-oh, yes, got the swan all right, thank you,' and he bent over his desk and seemed very busy.
 ".Fine bird,' said
 ".Yes. sir. fine bird and he went on working.
 "'Enjoy eating him. Thurber?'
 He waited minute. and then he said: Well. sir, guess they didn't cook him right at my house. They cooked him only two days And he went on working without cracking a smile"

M Methodist College Heads Try to Have
Church Give Better
Aid.

Delaware, O.-That the NJ thodist
Episcopal church shall establish
some comprehensive plan for it's
educational institutions and for
their support by the members Of the
church was the tenor of the resolu-
tions adopted by the association of
college presidents and principals of

ness session here. The coordination

that institutions shall not duplicate

urged to increase the amount asked
from each member of the church for
educational purposes from 25 cents to
81 and to establish a course of dis
tinctively Christian studies.

Youngstown, o. - An effort is
being made to have 1000 people
pledge $40 each toward liquidating

to run. So far about $4,000 has been
taken in by collections. Sunday will

tion taken up at the close of the cam
paign. In addition he gets a royalty
on hymnbooks, other literature and
postal card pictures of himself. The

A NEW TOWN
EVERY WEEK
AND A NEW SCHOOL EVERY
SCHOOL DAY.

The above caption about represents
the growth of Central Canada. The
statement was made not long since by
a railroad man who claimed to have
made the remarkable discovery that
such was the case. There is not a
district of fair amount of settle
ment in any of the three Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
but has it's school, and the railways
have stations every seven or eight
miles apart, around which group the
towns, some large and some small
but each important to its own district
Schools are largely maintained by pub
lie funds and the expense of tuition Is
but nominal sum.
The final returns of the grain pro-
duction for Central Canada for 1909 is
now in, and the figures show that the
value of the crops to the farmers Of
that country is about 1876 million dol
lars, as compared with 100 million last
year. American farmers or those who
have gone from the United States, will
participate largely in these splendid
returns, and these comprise those who
have gone from nearly every State in
the Union.
One of the many proofs that might
be put forward showing the immense
wealth that comes to the farmers OF
Central Canada is seen in the surS
that has been spent during the past
two or three months by the farmers
who have for the time being ceased
yxynrrvinU nd tho
thresher, and are taking to enjoying
themselves for two or three months.
1t is said that fifty thousand people of
these Western Provinces spent the
holiday season visiting their old
homes. Most of these passengers paid
forty and some forty-five dollars for
the round trip. Some went to Great
Britain, some to the Continent, others
to their old homes in Eastern Canada,
and many thousands went to visit
their friends in the States. The amount
paid alone in transportation would be
upward of two million dollars. Some
make the trip every years. 1t need
not be asked, Can they afford it?"
With crops yielding them a profit Of
| 500 to $25 per acre, and some having
as much as twelve hundred or more
acres, the question is answered. The
Canadian Government Agents at diff
ferent points in the States report that
they have interviewed great many
of those who are now visiting friends
in the different states, and they all ex-
press themselves as well satisfied.
and promise to take some of their
friends back with them. There is still
lot of free homestead land in splen-
did districts, and other lands can be
purchased at a reasonable price from
railway and land companies.

TELLS OF MARKED STAMPS
Postmaster Testifies to Working of
Plot to Catch Members of
Black Hand.

Toledo, O.-The trial of the four
teen alleged members of the Black
Hand society was marked by the tes-
timony of victims who told of their
payment of money in compliance with
threatening letters, and the story of
one detail in the postal inspectors
scheme of detection.
d. C. Mahon, postmaster at Denni-
son, testified that, acting under the in
structions of Postal Inspector Old
field, he marked % stamps with a red
ink dot on the letter 20" in the word
1.-TWO" and gave them to the stamp
clerk with instructions to sell them
to no one but Augustini Marfisi and
the two Vicarios. The witness iden-
titled one of these stamps on letter
received by Mateo RIM of Cleveland.
One count of the indictment against
the IA defendants is based on this
letter. Other witnesses testified to
the payment of $1,000 to Salvatore
Arrige by Fabiano Chincola and the
presence of certain defendants in Ma
rion March 8, 1909, the date of the
meeting of the Black Hand society.

AGAIN SUES TO RECOVER CASH
Buckeye State Brings Action Against
Former Treasurer Cameron to
Get Back Heavy Interest.

Columbus, O.-Another big fish
has been landed in the net cast
by Gov. Harmon and Attorney General
Denman for former state officials
charged with grating on public funds.
The attorney general has sued Isaac
B. Cameron, president of the Colum-
bus Savings G. Trust Co., state treas
urer from 1900 to 1904, for the re-
covery of $296,171.
The petition is even more sensa-
tional than that filed in the suit
against the estate of former Treasurer
w. S. McKinnon for the recovery OF
$143,O0O. Cameron is charged with
having appropriated to his own use
with lavish hand interest on public
money deposited during period when
the law specifically provided that all
the cash of the state should be kept
in the vault of the treasury.

Discourtesy Rebuked.

Lord Palmerston expected work to
be done well, but, Mr.. Preston-Thomas
in his new book tells us, of mere pee
cadilloes he was tolerant. Some young
gentlemen in the foreign Office amused
themselves by shining" young ladies
who lived on the other side of the
street; that is, by catching the rays
of the sun on mirror and flashing
them over the way. The father of the
ladies complained to Palmerston, who
thereupon issued this minute:
"The secretary of the state desires
that the gentlemen in his department
will not cast disagreeable reflections
on the ladies opposite. London
