Doctors Fees of Old.

Doctors nowadays don't get sc
much more than they used to get
At the beginning of the eighteenth
century the usual fee to a graduate
in physic was about $3.50, though he
usually asked twice that amount. Old
Sawbones, who was only a licensed
physician. couldn't very well expect
more than $1.66. though he usually
had hopes of getting $3.50 visit. A
surgeons fee was a quarter a mile,
whether the journey were far or near,
and to'that charge he added a quarter
for blood-letting, and II the patient
wanted his arm or leg cut of It cost
him $25.

TOSSING the Caber.

One OF the strangest and most an
Client games of Bonny Scotland is
throwing the caber, than which there
is probably no more severe test Of
muscle and skill, says Popular Me-
chanics. The game has been played
by the hardy Scots since the earliest
times and is still one Of the feature
events on the programs of all athletic
contests. The caber Is a long section
of tree trunk, tapered SO that 1t is no
ticeably smaller at one end than at
the other. The man who essays to
test his strength by tossing 1t raises
the. pole to a vertical position in his
hands, smaller end down, and then
throws it into the air and away from
him. He must make the large end Of
the pole hit the ground and the pole
hit such a way that the small end will
describe half circle. The prize coca
to the man whose caJer, having been
thrown in the manner described, lands
on the ground with it's smaller end
farthest away from the throwing point.

dim earth, and sheds its brightness
among men. AS swiftly az It came. so
swiftly 1t goes again. And yet each

vealed to US more clearly, full OF

PRIVILEGE OF BEING AN ASS

New York Magistrate Who Fined
Student Thought Otherwise.

Compared to the inalienable right to
make a fool OF yourself, the right of
free speech, which ioud-mouths pro-
claim the most cherished one, Is of
small concern in the average person.
OF all places where some restraint
on the former might be expected New
York Is the last that would be thought
OF. Yet in the night court Columbia
student, caught by an alert constable
In the act Of standing still under an
open umbrella while the stars shone
overhead, was fined SO and warned
that the penalty for the next offense
Of similar genesis would be a term
In the workhouse. The young man,
OF course, was qualifying for a fratern-
ity. He looked foolish-as was the
authoritative intention, in which he
acQuiesced.
But" quoth the police. magistrate
ponderously, mo fraternity has right
to order q man to make an ass Of him
self" and he expressed the wish that
the whole chapter could be hailed into
court that he might fine them all. Con-
sidering in how many ways New York
invites young men to make asses OF
themselves, and how many persons In
that town, In fact, do make asses OF
themselves without molestation, why
should the line be drawn at a practice
