Our Friend, the Doctor.
A doctor is a member of the greatest
and most beneficent and unselfish of
all the learned professions. We Jest
at the doctors In our hourB of health,
but when disease seizes upon the
strength of manhood, when even the
mighty Caesar cries like a sick child,
when the hour of pain Is upon us, then,
In the hushed chamber and by the
lonely lamp of the watcher, we Invoke
the merciful ministrations of the doc
tor, and with willing feet he comes
through the storm and darkness, and
with skill and patience and courage he
battlos with disease and beats back
death from the house of life.

Ono of the most common faults of
amateurs In the realm of seamanship
is to let go the anchor whllo tho vessel
is still going ahead, says Outing. This
Is not only sloppy and unseamanllke,
but it Is very likely to Involve ono in
difficulties later on, becauso when the
vessel settlrs buck over her "hook"
she is opt to catch a turn of tho anchor-rope
around a fluke or arm and
then the anchor will drag under at the
least provocation. Tho proper method
of coming to anchor Is to round up to
the wind or tide (according to which
Is the controlling forco), bring the
vessel to a stop, and even have slight
sternway on her before singing out
"Let go!" Then the anchor will go
down fair and its chain or rope will
tall out straight as tho vessel swings
off before the wind or tide
