SERVING THE PUBLIC.

For a long time the Pennsylvania iallroad hap mad© ja practice of publishing leaflets containing information ^or employee and thfe public concerning the service qf the railroad and Its tnany activities In various directions. These are sent to newspapers and employes and'placed on its trains, where they may be available to the public. One of its latest bulletins is entitled ?He Serves the Railroad Most Who $erjves Its spatrons' Best," and is devoted to a number, of instances in the everyday routine of' the railroad where I individual employes have won com imendation for themselves and for the 'company by acts of special courtesy, kfndnesa or* ttyjughtfulness toward pa-

irons. In most cases* these Incidents were brought to 'the attention of the, company by letters from patrons writIten without the knowledge of the employes concerned.

For example, one of the letters was •Written by a paasengrer who happened to observe' the unusual Rlridneps of a Station master to a foreign woman traveling with three children, who was Compelled to wait over night at his Station before resuming her journey on 4 morning train. The station master, Noticing that the woman appeared ill, ftund that she and the children were iangry and proivided lunch for them and lodging for the night. Another letter was from a man who was taken Hi while on a train and wished to call the attention of the company to the cburt^sy'&f the conductor and trainmen in locking aiter hj|jf^wi$fare."

Giving publicity tlP Iftcidents of this ^ind is of benefit in tvtfo wfcys. It not only tfhows the employed that the company appreciates courtesy on their fciart,. 'fcut it is the best kind of advertising for the railroad, it shows the pttblic that it is the intention of the Railroad not only to furnish safe and prompt transportation but to go further and treat the passenger as a guest. !The employes are made to realise that their efforts to give good service are hot always unnoticed and the public is given an opportunity to recognize that an occasional lack of courtesy on the part of an employe does not represent the policy of the company.

In this respect railroad companies have the advantage over street car companies. The higher salaries paid railroad employes attract high class men "who understand what an asset to their compahy is the policy of pleasing the patrons. They do not allow their authority to cause them to lose sight of the fact that good treatment means more travel, and more travel means a proportionate Increase in ability of the company to pay better salaries. It took $he railroads many years to develop this. view. The street car companies jnay come along later.

T.H5 OLD IRON DOLLAR.

3 While theorists have heckled over the bullion value of coins, hard-handed emergency and usage havjs come along to exalt a new measure in the world's standards of values—none other than the old reliable American dollar. That well-informed, astute and experienced observe of the financial situation, Mr. Alexander j, Hemphill, chairman of the board of the Guaranty Trust company of New York, in his speech before the .Academy of Political and Social

Science, in New York Saturday evening, estimated the destruction and wastage of war, of one year's duration, £t: $40,000,000,000^ He predicted that there would be a great demand on us for material to rehabilitate and rebuild t.h$ devastated countries and for credit through the making of direct loans or

the repurchase of American securities aboard. This presages an active and firm money market in his judgment.

Mr. Hemphill would not be surprised if London would yet be compelled to draw bills of exchange in dollars instead of English pounds sterling. He says "When that is once done, we may ftride ourselves upon our progress." He is right. Heretofore all the world has been trading on the basis of exchange on London, in English pounds sterling, so that the merchant in New Orleans, or New York, who bought a cargo of coffee in Brazil, of corn jn Argentina, or wool in Australia, was compelled to draw on London for payment and pay it in English pounds. Now that Great Britain owes us an enormous amount of money for munitions and supplies and, not having the gold or the goods to export, must ask us for credit, the American dollar has become the highest standard of value, as it is the only dollar not at a discount in the exchange markets all over the world.

SHELLS.

James Blair, the noted war correspondent, devotes a column in the New York Tribune to the fact that he, with other war correspondents, explored the battlefields of northern France to try to prove that American ammunition was being used by the allies. His con conclusion is that up to May 1 he seriously questions if any American munitions had reached the allies. According to press reports, the Germans believe that American munitions have been for months past playing an important part in the European battlefields, and the statement Is frequently made by responsible German officers that had it not been for the American supplies Germany would have conquered the allies before this. At the end of June a categorical .statement was made in New York that up to that time practically no shells of American manufacture had been fired in Europe. Possibly an insignificant number had reached the firing line before the beginning of June, but the Bethlehem Steel company, which is the first American concern to make delivery in any quantity on its orders for shrapnel and high explosive shells, did not begin to load the first ship until the last week of June and it is impossible that these shells could be used before the middle of July. While the allies have undoubtedly been drawing considerable quantities of rifle ammunition from the United States for months past, the European artillery duels up to this time have been conducted without American help.

THE SLOW GRIND.

At the conclusion of the session of the United States supreme court the other day, Chief Justice White congratulated his colleagues on the volume of business which the court had handled this term and announced that the court now was "only" one year behind the docket. It was three years behind when the Evarts law was enacted it is only one year behind now.

This is some progress. However, it appears to leave much still to be desired.

Broadly speaking, there can be no real reason why any court should be even one year behind its docket. Justice is not promoted by delay. No one

But if the highest court in the land sets the ejxample of being so habitually behind with its work that it makes it a point of virtue when it comes within twelve months of catching up it is perhaps not surprising that Inferior courts are often laggard.

JAPANESE UMBRELLA TRICK. Feats with an umbrella—o«f the Japanese kind—are very common, writes M. Gintaro in the February Strand. The Juggler throws up a D&il, catches it on the top of an open umbrella and, by twisting1 the handle rapidly, causes the ball to run round the edge of the umbrella. A similar feat is performed with curtain rings and with coins the smaller and lighter coin the more difficult the feat.

All thes» feats were originated by a street performer in Japan. One day, while passing under the walls of a castle, a small audience collected on the top of the wall and playfully dropped some tangerins on to the comedian of the company of struggling jugglers. (No such company is complete without a comedian.) The next day the comedian was troated in the same ma,nner, and so he put up a paper umbrella to shield himself. The shower of tangerines broke through the umbrella. Then the leading juggler

pany saw his opportunity. He took the umbrella, twisted it quickly, and, by making it revolve, caused the tangerines to fly off it. While he was doing this he was helped by a lucky aocident. One of the tangerines rolled round the umbrella once before dropping on the ground. The juggler picked up the tangerine and caught it once more on his revolving umbrella, and thus the feat was invented. The hardest feat, of all with the umbrella is done with a Japanese coin which is lighter than an American cent.

FUSS AT COMMENCEMENT.

Doctors Got Degrees 300 Years Ago Without Seeing a Patient. The conferring of the degree of doctor of medicine was a much .more imposing ceremony 300 years ago than it is today. The graduation of a medical student was generally celebrated with much detail and for several days there were music and feasts. The historic features of the medical examination and graduation of this period have been immortalized by Moliere in "La Malade Imaginaire." This Instructive comedy was produced in 1665 for tnt special enjoyment of the king and court. From the rising of the curtain till it falls the piece is the most scate.iing" satire on medical art and science. No detail concerning the professors, practice, teachings and instructions is omitted that could* supply'a point for raillery and ridicule.

Incredible as it may appear, the majority of students attained the degree of bachelor, and conversed learnedly of the nature and cure of disease before having seen a case. The great object of medical education in that day was to know and discourse on all that the ancients had said about health and disease.| After two years of devotion to the course of study the student was eligible for the baccalaureate, which was followed at intervals with further tests, and then came the examination for "license," admission to the "vesperie," followed with "capping." "The scene takes place in the amphitheatre of the old medical school of Paris or Montpelier," says Dr. Mortimer Frank in an article on "Medical Instruction in the Seventeenth Century," in a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. •fWe see a crowd of old French medical celebrities of the seventeenth century, including doctors, surgeons and apothecaries, in full professional glory, with their four-cornered caps and red robes trimmed with ermine. Beneath them sit a number of students wearing the black robe of a bachelor. "The dean presides and opens the ceremonies with a long discourse on the glories of the instution. The object of the assembly is then disclosed, this being: the examination of a candidate to determine if he can give sufficient proof of the necessary qualifications for becoming a licentiate for graduation. The candidate having furnished brilliant proof of his capacity, falls on his knee and receives the apostolic benediction. After an interval of six weeks or more the candidate is admitted to the 'vesperie,'
