Medical Fees In sxaens paxe.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century the usual fees to paysic1ans and surgeons in England were 'tD a graduate in physick, his due b about 10 sh1Ilings, though he commonly ex poets or demands 20 Bhi1lings. Those that are only licensed physicians, their due is no more than 6s. 3d., though they commonly demand 10 shillings.
 "A surgeons fee is 12 pence mile, be his journey near or far, 10 greats to set bone broke or out of joint and for letting blood shilling; the cutting or amputation of any limb is f5, but there is no settled fee for the cure" The system of regulating the fee according to the pocket of the patient is almost as old as history Westminster Gazette.

The old RedIau,,

Bethlehem (pronounced Bediam), the London lunatde asylHnn, was orig iginany founded in 1247 as a priory, but is spoken of as a hospital for, lunatics in 1472, and when the church was de- spoiled it was granted to the city of London as such an asylum At one time the wretched inmates were exhib- ited to the public like so many wild beasts, as Pepys notes in his diary and Hogarth shows in one of bis sketches. Patients that were harmless or half cured were given badges and released to beg on the streets. Edgar in 'sKing Lear'' impersonates one of these wan dering Tom-o' -Bedlams.

A apooI. Trick.


 Run a pin its whole length through the middle of a card. Place the card on the end of spool in such way as to allow the pin to hang down in the hole in the spool Hold the spool up right and blow into the open end. However hard you blow, you will not be able to force the card away. If you blow steadily you can even turn the spool downward and the card will still refuse to drop.
 The card is held in place by suction. The thin film of air escaping with much force in all directions between the end of the spool and the card pre- sents a smooth surface to which the card adheres as it would to glass, but with greater force, for the film of air is even smoother than glass. The pin serves only to prevent the card from working off at one side.-Youth's Com panio1.

 I. Carroll Beckw1th, the artist. once told story about a weird painting he happened to run across in a little art shop in Paris. He looked at 1t for some time with interest, thinking it to be a design for Persian rug.
 What a nice hearth rugr' he re- marked appreciatively to the saleswo- man.
 'Nonsenser' replied she. 'That's not a hearth rug. That's a portraitY' And she proceeded to point out hands and features in what to Beckwith was sim ply a bewldering mass of paint. ''Do you really see all that?'' asked Beckwith with admiration.
 "Oh, as to seeing it,'' answered the saleswoman, you never can tell. Some times we see it and sometimes we don,t."-New York Post

The failure of Gen. Trucy ALBERT to
get to the city of Torreon in time to
relieve it-a mission upon which he
set out from Saltillo nearly a month
ago with a large force of Federal
troops-is explained by the fact that
the greater part of his 1000 men de-

Out of the total garrison of Torreon,
estimated at 1000 men, 1900 now have
