It is given In Al Kulllyeh. the magazine pttbllshed by the Syrian Protestant college In Beirut. To each of the graduates In tnedlelne the oath aas administered by the Turkish head of the medical examining hoard. We cite a few of the pledges: *That when 1 tun called at the same time by two different patients, the one rich and the other poor. I will accept the call of the poor without taking into consideration the money offered and will do my best for his treatment, and that I will never decline to an? swer any call, day or night, during the reign of common diseases or of an epidemic or of contagious diseases. "That I will not ask extra fees from the patients and will not act against my conscience by exaggerating their sickness in order to get the calHog fees. "That In case of a doubt as to the treatment of a patient I will not leave bis life In danger through a failure to consult other doctors on account of my pride." Modem Bookmaking.

So you just be off. will you, old fellow?" Lord Stratford left In a towering passion. Calling one of his attaches, he ordered him to go in and tell the man whom he had addressed in such language. The attache returned with twinkling eyes. "What did you say?" asked the am? bassador.

A "wise man of Gotham" is a fool, but the phrase arose through the real wisdom of the people that lived in the English town of Gotham. The story goes that King John of England once visited the town with the Intention of seeing a castle that he thought of tak? ing for himself. But the Gothamltes did not care for the nearness of roy? alty and tho expense they would he put to if the ktn,T should have a house there, and so they cooked up a scheme to drive him away. When the king ar? rived with his company of followers and r.xle through the town he saw all the Inhabitants of Gotham going through the most foolish of tasks, each person with a silly smile on his face. The king was disgusted with them. He would not live among crazy people, and so he rode on through the town and did not stop for the castle. Then the wise men of Gotham, still smiling, but not In a silly fashion, toM one an? other that there were more fools that passed through Gotham than remain In it Not What He Seemed.

The Christians were regarded as seditious. In denying the divinity of the Cae? sars and the Roman gods they were guilty of high treason in Roman eyes and were accordingly punished. But their punishment had no religious sig? nificance whatever. The Christians were persecuted not because they were Christians, but because, In the opinion of the authorities, they were disturb? ers of the peace and safety of the state. Religious persecution was a thought that never entered the Roman mind.?New York American. Wounds of the Heart. In wounds of the heart itself the es? cape of blood Is never in large quanti? ty, and the lethal consequences are due to the fact that the escape of blood from within its cavity or cavities into the surrounding sac of the peri? cardium mechanically interrupts the alternate contraction and expansion by which Its pumping action is maintain? ed. Accordingly the results of the wound of the heart are usually identi? cal with those of gradual suffocation. Cutting.

Monday with its crowds and fun and frolic has gone, but the sweet? ness of the pleasure of the day left many a hitter taste, and sorrow for some, who enjoyed the day but too Well. This morning Rota Conyerg, a ne? gro woman from near Cain Savan? nah, was In the office of the Item asking that the paper do all it could to find her lost child, a little girl about six years old, and named Lydia. It seems that the little gir' was left in Costin's store, on the cor? ner of Liberty and Marvin streets from which she went off to a near-by j restaurant to get a drink of cool water. Alter staying there for some time with one of her friends she started out to return to the store, but lost her way and wandered off, lost for the rest of the day and night, and, at present, gone from the streets or anywhere the police or anyone els?- had heard of her. The mother who had gone to the circus grounds with some of her friends at the time, came back to the store shortly afterward, and finding the child gone, at once set out in search of her, go? ing to the police and hunting at the homes of her aunts, of which there were several living in town. All her search was in vain and as a last re? sort she made her appeal at the Item , office, tears streaming down her cheeks the whole time she was rela? ting her tale of woe. The father of the child came In from Cain Savannah this morning to help his wife in her search hut their united efforts were not more success? ful than those of his wife, the child could not he found. The child was a small black girl, six years old. and very timid. She was dressed in a striped Mary Jane gingham dress, wore black slippers with no hat, and hair tied with lilac ribbon. The finder will do the par? ents a great favor, and bring much joy to a poor anguished mother's heart, if they know, and let the mother know something of the little girl. Eighteen acres of the hay crop of the city has been gathered and there are ten more acres still to be harvested. The amount obtained from the eighteen acres was more than was ever gathered from the whole twenty-seven acres in any previous year. At that, part of the crop was ruined in the stormy weather of the past week, when it had been raked up, but not yet stacked or hauled In. Women rule the world, announces | an English suffragist.
