Never refuse a fee from any person who is able to give one, In order that you may never have occasion to take one from a “man who is too poor to well a”ord one. It matters not how mercenary you may be accounted by the rich, so long as you are merciful to the poor. If you can not get fees without depriving them of bread, it were better you had never been a doc tor. Your friends mor your familiars have any claim on your skill, whatever they may have on your affection. If they are entitled to your gratuitous attendance a large connection would be a great evil to a physician. Were you a merchant they would not ask your goods without an equivalent, and surely because you are a man of science they cannot expect the still more precious chattels of the mind without aay comrensation To obtain practice be sure to enlist the service on your side of the pastors of all denominations in your neighborhood, and pay your court assiduously to the iniluen tial women, but above all if in the coun. try; to the one or two charitable ladies, par excellence, who are to be found in every town, devoting a life of single blessedness and all the leisure of neglected beauty and imperishable celibacy to the service of religion and humanity. Be sure that vou buy golden opinions of these gooa women, for with all their ac tive benevolence they have a large portion of their leisure to bestow on the privacy | of their friends and neighbors, and heaven defend the reputation of that poor wretch who, at the terrible Areopagus of the r tea table, is consigned to the tender mer cies of their envenomed tongues, Avoid the society of your patients Physicians should ha ¢ no familiars: to | be thoroughly respected, they must stand nloof from the gaze of society. A prophet has no power in his own country, neither has a physician in his own circle Without skill it is impossible to become a lourishing physician, but without good | manners all the skill of the most eminent | physicians will not avail you in a large apital. A good address is everything to a doctor. The public are incapable of | judging of a medical man's real knowl edge; the only way they have of forming | an opinion, therefore, is by analogy, by scrutinizing those superficial qualities and the outward and visible signs of them which come immediately withia the narrow sphere of their comprehension If b's manoers be good they give his | mind evedit for the advantage. The lust and greatest precept Never violate in thought, word the sanctity of the sick chamber! He is a villain who reveals the secrets of that prison house, where pure humanity lies bare and beipless; he is a traitor to his profession who gossips about the infirmi ties he is called to relieve: he is unworthy the name of a physician who, abusing the confidence which ix reposed in his human ity and his honor, has no sooner turned from the bedside of the patient than the infrmities be has witnessed become the sub ect of a ribald jest. ahser /OSeNCe, to of all is or dead Conerrning Polsonous Snakes, Philadelphia Proes | It is a remarkable fact that & poisonous stake can wot poison one of its own spe- cles.

Paul (Minn. ) Globe. | “My hands were too small and pretty, and I was discharged. ™ The speaker was a pretty, modest girl of about 19, who had | een connected with a prominent and hopulur glove store on a street not far from Nicollet avenue, She had only been there a short time when the proprietor discharged her. “I am very sorry,” he sald, “but, we would lose many of our lady customers if you { stay. «Your hands are entirely too small, ” A reporter who had heard the girl s bit. ter expression asked the glove dealer about jt, and received the following re Nt “We never bad a nicer, more modest and satisfactory girl in our store, and if | there was a single place vacant we would have kept her. But there was not. She was a glove fitter, and her hands were en tireiy too small and pretty. You seem astonished. but 1 will explain.

That young lady has the hands of a duchess, and put to shame half of the who come in here, Yes, | agree with you that it isa decided shame, but we could not help it. The statements of this merchant were confirmed by the lady who changes her gloves at least twice a month. She wears a six-and a half Jouvin herself, but says “Now my hand is about medium, neither large nor small, but I know how it is to go into a store and have a six-and-a half handed you by a dainty saleswoman who can easily stretch a five.and-three quarters over her hand. 1 would not withdraw my patronage on that sccount, but I know of ladies who would, It is too bad that a girl should lose her place on that account, yet I dont doubt the story vou tell me.” At some of the millinery stores, how ever, pretty girls are in demand and stylish ones are paid extra prices. The remson is obvious. A lady customer goes in to look ata hat The stylish shop re | girl covers her pretty head with a desira | ble article, and turns herself about to dis play the effect. Every thing looks well on her, and the customer is enraptured with the bonnet. She fondly imagines it will look as stylish on her own cranium, | and perhaps never learns that it does not. But sales are quickly made, and the Frey lay figure reaps her rewards Iandsome girls are also used to display tg shawls and other wraps, which appear to best advantage on their Junoesque forms, and salaries to corre.

The guns are 124. pounder breech-loaders, and are sald to surpass anything yet produced in accuracy, range, and quickness of londing and firing. The range is up to about 6,000 yards, but the chargs of powder is very large—viz: four pounds The naturally heavy recoil is obviated by the carriages being fitted with brakes The projectiles are fitted in the base with a copper driving ring, by which rotation is given to the shot, thus securing beth accuracy of direction and greater length of range The shells are made of cast steel, the bursting charge is one pound twelve ounces, and the destruction which would result on firing at earthworks or at troops en masse, it is said would be immense Another great advantage of the new gun is that they are so constructed they only require to be sponged out at the close of the day's practice.

[Inter Ocean “'Curbstone Crayons.) “It was my fortune,” sald an old newspaper man, “to be one of the few people who were with the Grant party in their tour through the United States in 1879.

Whenever it suited Mrs. Grant to have the hat changed it was changed and he apparently did not know when the changes took place “This hat business wasa souree of great amusement to the newspaper men nd they Imughed a good deal with Mrs Grant about it, and occasionally the gen eral himself joked her about this nice dis tinction in the matter of hats, but she and | the little Jap kept up the enthusiasm abou it until the last Many a reception com mittee in the midst of foreigner. with a hat and a whisk broom who, without hesitation or explanation, gave the general a quick brushing, removed one hat and put om another. giving it the proper tilt and position, sad slipping away without a word but with a look to Mra Grant as to whether it was just right or not.
