The Turkish Doctors Oath.
In Turkey they have a HtppOCrotk
oath, though they do not call It by
that name. 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.
A Isrge bindery may have a capacity

of some of these binderies are won

where a publishing house took an or?

12mo. volume of 350 pages and ac?
tually shipped 2.000 copies of the book
oo the following Wednesday. The
type was set by machinery for the
entire 850 pages before work stopped
Monday night. Electrotype plates were
made so rapidly that on Tuesday morn?
ing several printing presses were set
in motion. In the meantime covers
were made in the bindery, and by
Wednesday morning the binders bad

Vamen Prisoners In Japan.
The cells In every Japanese prison
tically sleeping dormitories, as

I day or attending lectures and
lessons in educational subjects, de
portment and morality. The small Jap?
anese woman prisoner is even taught
how to serve tea properly, because the
Japanese have grasped the fundamen?
tal truth that whatever raises a worn
an's self respect helps to eliminate bad
habits?In a word, to reform her. The
keen sest of the prisoners in Japan
contrasts with the hopeless, hunted
look of our women prisoners In Eng?
land. In Japan the women prisoners
are learning, learning, learning all the
time. They are given prizes and deco
rattve rewards for excellence. They
are being encouraged Instead of re?
pressed. Everything Is done to instill
a real desire for permanent reform.?

The Unhumbled Valet.
The Duke of Cambridge was once
about to visit Lord Stratford. who had
been appointed ambassador to Turkey
At an early hour on t he morn ins: of
his expected arrival the ambassador
went, in slippers and dressing gown,
to sec if the rooms were in perfect or?
der. H* found Hint the duke's valet
had arrived and was arranging his
masters trunks and portmanteaus.
Stratforu gave some directions how
they should be placed. The mat) left
off Working and stared nt the intruder
"I tell you what it is." he said. "1
know bow Iiis royal highness likes to
have his things arranged better than
you do. 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.
"1 said to him. my lord, that the per?
son he had ventured to address such
language to was her majesty's repre?
sentative to Turkey."
"Ah. quite right. And his answer?"
"He answered, my lord, that he
never said you wasn't"?"With Lord
Stratford In the Crimean War."
Wise Men of Gotham.
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.
Lieutenant General J. M. Grierson
tells an amusing story of some maneu?
vers in which he took part Only a
email body of troops were being ac?
tually employed, and "skeleton forces"

bodies of men represented whole divi?
sions. General Grierson with his staff
was riding along a lane when he sud?
denly csme upon one of the enemy's
pickets sitting calmly by the roadside.
Quickly the general rode up to him and
?aid:
"You are my prisoner; you had better
surrender."
The man grinned and pointed to a
Hag beside him.
"Beg pardon, sir," he said, "but I am
a brigade of Infantry, so you are all
my prisoners."?London Mall.
Christians In Old Rome.
Religious persecution as such was
unknown under the Romans. 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.

A Scotch lawyer was well reproved
when, seated by a lady fully aware of
her own plain looks, having bowed to
his hostess In giving the toast, "Hon

may both drink that toast siuco it re?
fers to neither of us."

CHILD LOST ON LIBERTY STREET
Anxious Parents Look for Child Lost
Lute Monday Afternoon.
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.
