WELLS, City Clerk. THE HIPFOCRATIAN OATH. What Every Conscicntious 'Physiciar Undcrtake. to Do. "First and last. day and night, he who has given himself to the cause of medicine sees the most sordid, the moss terrifying, the most pitiful, side of hu mnanity." says a writer in Appleton's Magazine. 'ils training is in the slums, where the elements of life may touch even the lowest'and basest His service is demanded in sickness and pain, and his final act. as irrevocably as the rising of the sun. is to close the eyes forever of others, even perhaps those whom he brought into the world He is the possessor of secrets, the re pository of sorrow. "'Into whatever house I enter I will go for the benefit of the sick. With purity: and holiness I will pass my life and practice 'my art.' . So ran the oath administered by Hippocrates to his students almost five centuries before Christ and so still stands today the physician's idea'. Medicine then partook of a character of holiness, fo the student, too, swore to reckon him who taught me this art equally dear to me as my parents, to look rpon his of spring in the same footaig as :my own brothers and to teach thm this art if they shall wish it without fee or stipu lation. "Can any one today with an inkling of the life of the disciple of medicine doubt that the spirit of -this ancient oath is rigidly observed in its practice or that, as Hippocrates dictated 2,504 years ago, 'Whatever In, connectioz with my professional practice or not it connection with it I see or hear in the life of men which ought not to .be spoien abroad 1 will not divulge, 'a: reckoning all that should be kept se cret?" -BUENOS AIRES. An Orderly City in Which Affairs Are Weti Conducted. Things are done well in the City oa Good Airs. There are goad things tc eat. comfortable rooms to live .in, places where a man can get his exer ise and outdoor sport. After the trop is the grinfo feels like a man whc has been hopping from foothold ti foothold in a swamp and steps at lasi on solid ground. The creature comforts of a capable, wide awake, well ar ranged city soothingly envelop hain The cochero knows where he wants tc go, the waiter knows what he want: to eat. The mounted policeman, ir breastplate and fiorsetail helmet, rides him back with the rest'of the crowd and does it so quietly and wit] such sophisticated nonchalance that he promply ,conceives a passionate ad miration for that policeman and his beautiful horse, falls into the cam munistic pride common to all city~ dwellers and is ready to declare that there is no other policeman so fine ii the world. The streets are clean and wel kept, and the buildings which li them. however gingerbready their archi tecture, are held within decorous max imumn and minimum limits of height Everything is near at hand. The ho tel, club, bank, drive, the restaurants and theaters are all within, so to say, feeling distance. And this physical compactness and neatness, this con tinental glitter and activity, set here oasis-like, combine to give the whole:e certain diminutiveness and eczy inti macy.

W. E. Brown & Co. r They Won the Pool. It was certainly reprehensible, though . one cannot but smile at the bold trick i played one night by half a dozen men - in Paris. These individuals rang at the a door of a p:-ivate house, and before the - servant could announce their arrival the leader had donned an official scarf and introduced himself as a police com missioner, seized about $1,000 which was lying on the table as stakes in-a game of poker, saying he would not trouble the host and his guests to call at the office that evening, but would be 3 obliged if they would do so the next morning. The "commissioner," with a his escort, politely departed. When ( the players dutifully called at the of " fice the next day, their visit created visible surprise, and they learned, to their disgust, that this police commis - sioner of the night before had tricked 1 them and their $1,000 had been car - ried off by a gang of thieves. So much for playing poker and having an un easy conscience!-Boston Herald. An Easy Word. This Is what happened to a Glasgow r workingman when he tried to make his wife's home life happy by reading the police news to her as contained in his evening paper. In due course he reached an interesting trial for as sault, the report of which concluded as follows: "This case was held over until to morrow, as the presiding magistrate said he found considerable difficulty in pr'onouncing sentence."

W. E. Brown & Co. BOLIVIAN INDIANS. The Majority Are Semi-intoxicated From the Cradle to the Grave. The Indian women of Bolivia are usually superior'to their lords in actual intelligence; also in age, as a rule. They earn the larger share of their mutual "tving" and take the 'lead in muost things. As recognized head of the house the Bolivian Indian wife is much more likely to thrash ,er comparatively timid spouse than he is to ill use her. In the markets, when produce has to be disposed of, she can drive a far bet ter bargain than he could; she can car ry as -heavy burdens, endure as much :privation and physical toil, labor, chew ,as much coca and drink as much Sstrong drink. Little or no money passes among the IBolivian Indians. their mediums of exchange being whatever .they may raise or the labor of their hands. They will eat when not hungry, drink .when -'not thirsty, sleep when not sleepy, any where and any time :when opportunity offers, "against the time of need," as they say. The majority are in ,a state of semi-intoxication fro'm babyhood to y the grave, alcohol being used on every pretext, freely as their means will al Slow, on occasions of births, deaths and Sfeast days-the last named being re ,markably frequent-Boston Globe.

A man applied to the college of her aldry for a coat of arms, says a writer in the Cornhill Magazine, and was ask ed if any of his ancestors had been re nowned for. any singular achieve ments. The man paused and consid ered. but could recollect nothing. "Your father," said the herald, aid ing' his memory, "your grandfather, your great-grandfather?" "No," returned the applicant; "I nev er knew that I had a great-grandfather or a grandfather." "Of yourself?" asked this creator of dignity. "I know nothing remarkable of my self," returned the man, "only that, be ing once locked up in Ludgate prison for debt, I found means to escape from an upper window, and that, you know, is no honor in a man's escutcheon." ' "And how did you get down?" said the herald. "Odd enough," retorted the' man. "I procured a cord, fixed it round the neck 'of the statue of King Lud on the outside of the building and thus let myself down." "I have it!" said the herald. "No honor! Lineally descended from King Lud! And his coat of arms will do for you." - Chills. Fever and Malaria sufferers can now otain Wood's Liver Medicine in liquid- form.

Do They All Really Come kFro~n Minds of the Living? Perhaps all the so- called 'messages fom the dead come from living minds. I mean the minds of those about us. Dr. Reed, a friend of mine, once ar ranged to go with a patient to have a test sitting with a very celebrated psychic who claimed to be able to read sealed letters.' Just befdre the apa pointed day Reed's patient died sud denly of heart disease, leaving-a sealed letter on his desk. The doctor, fully alive to the sin guar opportunity. put the'letter in his pocket and hastened to the medium. The magician took it in his hand and pondered. At last he said: "This was written by a man now in the spirit world. I cannot read it There isn't a medium in 'the world who can read it, but if you will send It to' any per son anywhere on the planet and have it read and resealed I will tell you what is in It.
