During the time spent in this hospi tal I learned many things that no text book teaches, among | them the secret of the success ful physician. I discovered that while knowledge was a nec essity it was not the only thing -tact, energy, sympathy and kindness counted for more. The most competent, physician was, not inevitably the most prosper ous, 'wh i le the assiduously at tentive ignoramus, who made tip in care what he lacked in skill, kept the hospital crowded, and in tito fulness of time had his own sanitarium. Tho Mosquito Plant. Thc virtues of tho species of basil now known as thc mosquito plaut aro attracting attention throughout the country. An army officer bas recent ly given a growing plant to the bot anical gardens at Kow. He ob tai nod it iiiNigcra, where he says it ia known lo drive niosq ?toes fi om its neigh borhood,-and tho natives usc an infu sion of its loaves as a euro for malarial fevers. Hs virtuo aro known in India also, asa birder of it was planted round the Victoria Garden in Bombay because tho workmen were pestered by mosquitoes and suffered from ma laria. As soon as tho hedge was com pleted thc mosquitoes left, and there was no moro malaria among the work men.

The farmers arouncl Am?r?c?s Sumter county, Cfo., have been fighting the caterpiller* and were ready tb give up,the light in despair when thousands of blackbirds appeared in the cot ton fields and began work on the c terpillars. The birds are several weeks early and it is be lieved that they will do more towards clearing ? up the pest than all the effort*?, of the plan ters. The Worlds Host Northerly Hall road. . The most northerly railway in the world was opened a. few weeks ago. For its wtl)ole length it lies within tho Arctio region. The greater part of it is in Sewish terri tory, and only a small part outs through the narrowest portion of Norway until it reaches the Nor wegian harbor of Narvik. The chief object of the line, which now connects the northern -Boltic with the Atlantic, is to open up the rich I mineral resources of north Sweden I and to carry them cheaply t? Nar vik. The new railway, which will be known as the Ototen Une, is about 140 miles long, and coats ?1,500,000. Duty of a Cheerful Faoe. To wear a cheerful face when the heart is aching is not deceit When a good housekeeper cleans the front steps and porch before she sets to rights, she Ndoes not mean to deceive pass ers by; she merely shows some pride in her house, and some consideration for her neighbors. We "conquer our heart-aches more quickly when we begin by considering the friends wno are near us. Helping or Harming Ever. We are hourly helping or harming our fellows. We may not have a thought of one who is near us. We may not say a word, or give a look, kind or unkind to him. Yet we may cheer him, or and sadden ana dishearten him, by our counte nances as he looks at ns, as we look at him. No one of us stands or falls to himself alone. Our in fluence is continuous. There are those who are constantly help ing their fellows by their loving looks or words. And there are those who are constant cause of depression, by not being thought ful to do this.

Two of the train prow ware badly burt and one may die from his injuries. A wrecking train from Florence passed through here about 1 o'clock and, as thc evening mail was only about 2 hours late they must have a superb force.

Unless you mc a druggist you have no idea of the value represented by a little shelf In thc proscription depart ment of a big drugstore. It ls one of thc wonders of the world that drug stores do not furnish the same tempta tion an banks to knights of thc chisel. A pound jar of hyosconninc ls worth just $2,240 tho world over.
