Advice to Doctors.

BE cheerful" That is Sir Squire
Bancroft's advice to the doctors. Dr.
Stephen Paget, in his "Confessio
Medici"-that most companionable of
books-dilates on the same theme.
"If you must stay" he says to the
young practitioner who is invited to
tea. do not stay long, and keep the
door on your lips. Talk of the pa
tent, of the weather, or Of the propo-
sition. which will as surely as the
bread-and-butter be handed to you.
that There is good deal of illness
about Avoid all topics of church and
state, quote neither poetry nor prose,
give neither censure nor approval to
music and the drama, hide your lik-
ing for any art but your own. Leave
behind you, for gossip to lap, saucer
full Of the milk Of human kindness"

BETTER THAN ANY LECTURE
cotonefs Method Of Rebuklng Young
OFFICERS Probably More Effective
Than Severity Would Be.

The colonel of German regiment
On garrison duty near q lively city
was very much annoyed by the way
his young officers went about town In
civilian clothes-contrary to the regu-
lattons of the service, the articles of
war. and the spirit of Prussian mill
tariAm. He spoke very sharply about
It and threatened the EXTREMIST PEN
alties II anybody were caught doing 1t
again The warning served for time
at least the offenders were more
careful
Presently, however, two young lieu
tenants took chance. They slipped
away into town In modish afternoon
cloth 80 of the latest English cut, with
top hats on and the rest. Suddenly
they ran into the colonel. The next
minute they had vanished into a gro
GERS shop. One minute more and the
door of the shop opened.
Good afternoon. gentlemen" said
the colonel The pair stood before
their superior silent and dismayed
while grim smile spread over the
soldiers face
Young lady" said the colonel, ad-
dressing the shopgirl. give me two
five-cent cakes of soap-and wrap
thsr- separately" The girl obeyed
and the colonel gravely gave her ten
cents. Then he turned to the young
officers and handed each of them a
cake.
Here. gentsemen," he said with
grin, "just so you sha'n't be put to
any expense on my account. Good
day"
And he turned and strobe out of
the shop.-New York Evening Post.

Ceremonial Bath.

Considerable pomp used to attend
the entrance into the water of the
Duchess de Berri, who, close on a hum
dred years ago, first made sea bathing
fashionable in France. When the
duchess went bathing at Dieppe her
arrival on the beach was hailed with
salvo Of artillery. The holder of the
then newly created post of inspector
des bains" had to be there to receive
her, attired in respondent uniform,
cooked hat and white gloves This
functionary led her royal highness into
the sea until the water reached her
knees, when he retired with three
profound reverences. The duchess,
who was an expert swimmer. then pro-
ceeded to enjoy herself.

Dishonesty Rare In China.

The Chinese are said to be the
most honest people in the world in
their business relations. They keep
their word whether expressed in writ
ing according to printed formula or
spoken by the lips, and so loyal are
they to the honor of the family that
the son performs the pledges of the
father who may have failed from mis-
fortunte or death. However hard
they may regard the bargain, how
ever convenient and truthful might
be the plea of failing business these
yellow people despise such sophistries
and keep their word.

SAYING Came True.

The discovery that Scottish bank
notes have actually been forged with
in the walls Of Peterhead convict
prison recalls an amusing incident.
Unlike the notes of the Bank of
England (Which are destroyed as soon
as they find their way back to the
bank, notes on Scottish banks are put
in circulation again and again. The
result is that some of these notes get
very dirty, the one-pound notes get
ting particularly grubby and worn
in the course of their travels.
An English barrister who was once
given sheaf of these notes in pay
ment of large amount, regarded
them with horror for few seconds,
holding them delicately between his
thumb and finger.
Now" he said, holding them at
arms length, now l understand the
meaning of that saying about filthy
lucer.'"

An amusing story is being told of a
clergyman who was being entertained
over a weekend by one of the well-to-
do but plain men of Lancashire town
not far from Manchester
AS soon as the guest was settled by
the freside on the Sunday evening
his host asked him: Are you a tee
totaller?"
We'll, no; not exactly the clergy
man admitted.
The master of the house received
the statement with obvious relief
"Ah'm reight glad to hear It," he
said; wen had that sort stayin' with
US afore. Now, if ye'd been one o.
them teetotallers, ye'd "a been wantin
soda water and lemonade and lime
juice and ginger ale. and nobody
knows what all. But as We amt tee
totaller, yell be like the rest O. us,
an satisfied wi plain water!"

Pearls From East Africa.

Cooked jewels have recently been
offered for sale by East African ma
tives. II appears that pearls as at
present traded In that country are
from oysters gathered by natives at
low water for food; the pearls, being
in consequence from immature oys-
tiers, are usually very small and dis
colored by cooking; but occasionally.
however, very good pearl is offered
for sale by natives, one such being
stated to have fetched $4,000 in Fan
zibar. At least, it is certain that
pearl-bearing oysters exist on the
coast, and that valuable pearls have
been occasionally found, while prac-
tically no effort has been made to
prove whether or not a profitable In
dustry is possible

A cure for mushroom poisoning dis

the most distinguished chemists of
France, has just been presented be-
fore the Society Of Comparative Path.
ology. After demonstration that
mushroom poisoning destroys the red
corpuscles of the blood, he stated that
his neutralizing agent was serum
from sheep. The preparation was
extremely simple. He drew the blood
from a sheep and allowed it to coagu-
late, the liquid resulting being his
serum. This he injected into the veins
of human being. In the country dis
tricts of France there are annually
hundreds of serious cases of mush-
room poisoning, which the society now
hopes may be easily cured.

Character Actors Passing.

Character actors, according to pro
ducers, are becoming scarce Not,
however, in the sense of Character"
acting as it is known today, for all
comedians and near comedians have
listed themselves under the head Of
character" people. But the real old
timers. who could change grease paint
with costumes and do "Brutus" one
act and Uncle Tom" the next, are
disappearing. This condition is due,
actors say. to the managers insisting
that men and women specialize in
one line of acting. 1t has resulted
in thousands of Eat Liberty" ads be-
ing published every season.

in that city In reply to inquiries from
manufacturers Of fiy-papers asking for
information as to the extension of
their trade in Bohemia, for there are
not sufficient flies to exterminate. In
restaurants there are very few flies.
Screen doors to keep out flies and
other insects are unknown. The build
ings are all constructed of brick, stone
or concrere. The pavements and side
walks arc mare Of granite block. There
are no wooden sidewalks, stairway, or

Trick of the Orator

Disraeli, whose eloquence Lord Cur
zon ranks below that of Gladstone,
tried hard to give his hearers the i'm!
preston that he was not in the habit
of preparing his speeches. Discussing
Plunket's oratory with Disraeli, Lord
Granville remarked that the Irish
statesman hesitated so long for
word that he seemed to be on the point
of breaking down. Lord bless you,"
Disraeli exclaimed did that take you
in? Why. that is part of the trick.

Girls Miserable Death.

Suffocated in mud was the terrible
death of Maud Kirby Cornwell. fac
tory girl, of Cambridge. England. She
was out walking with Arthur Mead. a
barman, on Coe Fen, an open space
between the river and Peterhouse col

by the man, they walked into a ditch

Two Investigators and writer's In
the Lightning Journal have given the
result of their efforts to measure the
candle power Of the lightning bug.
The glow worm, which is the larvae
of the FREELY, was found to give off an
illumination equal to O048 candle pow
er to the square centimeter. The
flash of the freely is probably many
fold. perhaps so or 100-fold, as bright
as the steady glow of the larva- 1t
appears, then. that the luminous ma
terial Of the glow worm, could it be
reproduced, would not only be Of high
luminous efficiency, but would also be
a happy means in intrinsic brightness,
far lower than the artificial light
sources with which we now try our
eyes. yet high enough to permit its
use without pre-empting more wall
space than we now give to windows.

Astronomical

That the space between earth and
UNI that resists the rays of light is the
belief, among others, of the astrono-
mers Birkeland and See, who say that
the whole sky is suffused with nebu-
lous material. Doctor Birkeland thinks
the matter scattered through the In
terstellar spaces exceeds in mass the
aggregate of the suns and planets.

Killed the pIay

The production in Paris Of new
version of the tragedy of "Sophonis-
ba" inevitably recalls curious piece
of theatrical history where a single
line is said TO have killed whole
play.
On the first night Of James Thomp-
sons "Sophonisba" one of the actors
had to declaim the somewhat idiotic
line: ooh, Sophonisba; Sophonisba.
OH"
Instantly cutting voice from the
rather restless audience: "Oh, Jimmy
Thompson; Jimmy Thompson. OH"
The laughter that followed complete
ly broke up the seriousness of the eve
ning's entertainment.

Frederick the Great.

Frederick the Great was a freema-
son. He Joined the order in May, 1913,
very much against the wishes of his
father. Frederick William, who, it
seems, had no love for the craft When
Frederick William died, in May. 1740.
Frederick celebrated his freedom by
holding great Masonic meeting. The
young king appears to have taken
great interest in the order, and the
stimulus given Freemasonry by the
great sovereign and soldier is still felt
by the order throughout the Germanic
countries.
