W ASHiNGTON.-Scho teachers in
w Alaska must have d thorough
knowledge Of medicine as well as
pedagogy. The Alaska school serv-
ice is the only system of education in
the United States or any of its pos
sessions which is under the direct
control of the federal bureau of edu-
cation. In the northwest territory
there are large areas in which the
services of regular physicians are
not Obtainabie. 1t often becomes the
duty OF the public school teachers not
only to render first aid to the injured
or sick native, but to care for him
throughout the entire course of a
severe illness without the aid of a
physician.
For the assistance of men working
in Uncle Sans Alaska school service
DR.. Emil Krulish of the United States
public health service and DR.. Daniel
S. Neumann of the United States bu-
reau of education have together writ

been published and sent to every
school teacher working for the gov
eminent in Alaska. The authors nave
taken particular pains to describe the
symptoms and outline the methods OK
treatment of the common diseases OK
the natives in simple, plain language.
In a word of instructions to the teach
ers who will receive the book the an-
thor says:
A little learning is a dangerous
thing, and this is especially true in
medicine. Teachers are warned TO Do
careful in prescribing. 1t is often dlf-
ficult to make a diagnosis OF the dls-
ease which the patient is suffering.
To lessen this difficulty symptoms or
all of the common diseases are thor
oughly described so that the teacher
may have assistance in determining
any case. Remember, this handbook
is not intended to replace the serv-
ices of physician and all cases
should be referred to one whenever
possible.
Agents Of the government have
found that outside of performing their
educational duties Alaska school,
teachers are called on most frequent
ly to assist the natives in solving
their health problems. The new med
zeal handbook instructs the school,
teachers on every phase of medical
practice through which it might be-
possible for the agents of the bureau
of education to help the natives.

HUMOR OF BAD WRITING.

Sheridans writing was a scandal to his school
and puzzled the town. He wrote pass
to Drury Lane and the doorkeeper stopped its
bearer and Immediately pronounced it to be a
forgery, because he could decipher it! To
make matters worse Sheridan was also uncertain
in his spelling. A which" where" and a
whether" in his hands, for instance, were as
often as not deprived of their ''aches,' and a
thing" was to him always think" and nothing
more.
The atrocious writing of celebrities recalls the
claim made on behalf of Baron Bramwell
that he wrote three hands: "One which he alone
could read another which his clerk could read
and he couldn't and a third which nobody could
read" and the lastnamed was his usual style.
Lord Curzon, when young man at college,
once found his bad handwriting stand him in
good stead. Writing two letters one to rela-
tive, the other to chum, he encloses them in
the wrong envelopes. It CHANGED that in the Sec
ond letter he had made some uncomplimentary
reference to his relative. and on discovering the
mistake he had made he awaited developments
with anxiety. There presently came a letter from
the uncle. Il have tried to decipher your epistle
it ran but your writing is atrocious that
cannot make head or tail of it. However, guess
the drift of it to be that you need some money,
you rogue, so enclose a check"
Bad handwriting is not always handicap In
life The late Lord Goschen once said that his
father attributed the foundations of his fortune to
the fact that he was abliged to found firm be-
cause he wrote such bad hand that no one
would take him for clerk. OF Goschen himself,
Mr.. Arthur Elliot records that his handwriting
got steadily worse, and in his latter years he
might have spelt as he chose At length his
script became undecipherable even by himself.
He could not, when speaking in parliament make
out what it was that he had put on paper and
he thus came in later days to abandon almost en-
tirely his old practice of making notes"

knew nearly all about the professor. One night
there was particularly difficult manuscript from
the professor. 1t was put before the expert, with
inquiry as to whether not he could set 1t.

AMBER AS A MEDICINE.

The ancients employed amber as medicine,
and it is still prescribed by physicians in France
Germany and Italy. Several chemists in Paris
keep it constantly in stock. 1t has been worn by
ladies and children from time immemorial as an
amulet sometimes carved into "amphorae," and
has been pronounced OF service, either taken In
ternally or worn around the neck. Callfstratus
gave the name Of chryselektron to amber OF
clear golden color, which, worn around the neck,
cured ague, ground up with honey and rose oil
It was specific for deafness and with Attlc
honey for dimness of sight. But to come to more
recent times. Perera says in the third edition OF
his "Materia Medica," published in 1858, that am
Der was not even then employed as a medicine In
this country, but that 1T was formerly used In
chronic catarrhs, amennorhoea hysteria. ETC., and
