HAMPERED
BY PUBLIC DISTRUST
Physicians Told Who They Must Do to Uplift Plane of Profession.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20 New York
physicians are taking sides strongly)
for or against the theories expressed at a gathering of physicians and surgeons by Dr. James Ewing, professor of pathology at the Cornell university medical college, who, in a startling speech, declared the public held the medical profession in profound distrust, and told what physicians themselves had to do to dispel this distrust. "Prevailing public sentiment, " he Bald, "is put of touch with the medical profession. This is seen in the crude and halting manner in which medical topics are handled by distinguished writers and by the wide extension of Christian Science and the wavering defense which legislatures afford to
the public health against incompetent
practitioners. "This widespread public distrust should make us ask soberly whether the medical profession is doing its full duty to the public; whether from mental deficiency, superstition, the narrowing influence of the church or the educational systems of the last centuries with their incongruous schoolings in rigid mathematics and speculative philosophy, the modern mind is unfitted to grasp the delicate and infinite variety of biological processes. This, I believe, is the reason the pubJlc does not understand medicine. "Would It not be good policy for the .Snore enlightened public of today to analyze the grounds of its disaffection and make sure that it is not merely representing the suspicious of the middle ages? Only a few months ago on the upper east side, thousands of excited people gathered around the relics of a departed Baint in the hope of being healed." The public, he declared, made the mistake of trusting to any but physicians, the early stages of a serious disease. The efforts of the daily press to furnish information on medical subjects, the physician declared, consisted of sensatlonism and absurdities. "But more pernicious still" he added, "Is the influence of a score or more of medical journals, which cater to the taste for misinformation and absorb a large portion of the $50,000,000 paid annually In this country in the advertisement of quack medicines. "Medical science has pointed the way to the almost complete suppression of tuberculosis, but tons of tuberculosis beef are marketed in New York dally and the average dairyman thinks bis opinion of the tuberculin
test of cattle is quite as good as that !
of the German government. "There is a general failure In this country to appreciate the high development of sanitary science essential to a well ordered community. The national guard has at last awakened to the necessity for a national bureau of health, such as has long existed in other countries. Yet instead of going ahead with it, we have the astonishing spectacle of the President of the Unit
ed States holding a public hearing to ; debate the question. And with Asiatic j cholera at our very door, we have just j witnessed the distinguished health of-1 fleer of the port of New York subpect-1 ed to a mock Investigation." ;
"The Germans," he Baid, "pay Waldeyer $35,000 a year at Strausburg, besides student fees, but there are few
positions in America which permit a I scientist to live in a city house and j raise a family. j "The organization of our medical in- j stitutions could hardly be worse for I
the progress of the science. The care of the sick, the education of physicians and surgeons and the search for Xtew facts, which should be carried on
simultaneously and side by side in j ach of our medical institutions, are j Isolated and carried on separately. Medical research in America suffers ' from this. Everything is being swept j aside in the effort to provide the stu-'
dent with premature clinical expert ence."

The Grass Widow Defined. It Is related of a Methodist bisbop that when presiding over a district conference In North Carolina he had an attack of hay fever and in consequence was somewhat Irascible and Impatient A young preacher who gave a rather poor account of his work was given a severe reprimand by the bishop and asked to state the reason for his failure. "Well, bishop," he explained, "vre had a lot of trouble the first year with a crass widow, and" "A grass widow!" roared the bisbop. "And what, pray, is a grass widow?" "A grass widow, bisbop," responded the young clergyman. "Is a woman whose husband died of bay fever." St. Louis Republic.
GIVEN FLAG TO D. A. R. The following from the Washington letter to the Indianapolis Star is of interest to members of the Daughters of the American Revolution in this city: The Wendell Wolfe Chapter, D. A. R., named for the celebrated patriot of Indiana, Capt. Wendell Wolfe, ancestor of the regent, Miss Bertha Frances Wolfe of Michigan, Ind., and Washington, held its November meeting at the residence of Miss Wolfe on Nineteenth street. A highly interesting program was rendered. Notable among the company were Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, district state regent, D. A. R., and Mrs. H. L. Hodgkins, corresponding secretary of the district. Mrs. Hodgin presented the chapter with a handsome American flag, in honor of the regent, Miss Wolfe, who received her master's degree from George Washington University last June.
TO GIVE ENTERTAINMENT. The Eden Degree staff will give an entertainment Tuesday evening. The doors will be open at seven thirty o'clock and the program will begin at eight o'clock. The public is invited to attend.
FADS AND FASHIONS
The plain silk blouse is undoubtedly extremely fashionable and popular at the present time, yet, a blouse of chif
fon, exactly matching the color of the :
suit with which it is worn, when mounted over some bright-colored satin, is such a pretty relief from the somberness of the one-towned gown that many women cling to it in spite of what certain fashion makers may say.
This blouse may be indisputably a j part of the costume and yet not be un-!
becoming in its dark coloring, and it can be made as simple or as elaborate1 as one pleases. For this reason the veiled blouse will remain in first fashion throughout the winter season, althoubh it will be seen in new variety. It is asserted that lace will be used in greater profusion than ever before, so one may look for blouses of allover lace in a heavy weave, veiled with chiffon, tulle or mousseline de soie. Every indication points to a tremendous increase in the popularity of laces. It is predicted that not only will the heavier types of laces be used during the winter season, but that even the very light varieties will be employed more extensively as the season advances. Heavy laces, such as real Venice, Cluny, filet and Irish effects, will be much worn, as well as the machine-made imitations of these laces. The popularity of cotton and silk marquisettes will make Venice laces great favorites. Beautiful patterns of lace or embroidered designs on filet nets are to be had which, when combined with marquisettes or other sheer materials produce some stunning effects. Real hand-made filet laces may be had with hand-worked designs, but the effect and finish of the machine-made imitations are very similar, and these are the goods that will be bought by most women. Macram, Irish crochet and Cluny will be much used. Light laces, such as malines, or shadow laces, and the Chantillys, will be used alone and in combination with the heavier types of laces. Flounces and bands of white shadow lace will be etxensively used on gowns of satin or sheer fabrics. Tunics and transparent coats of shadow lace or Chantilly will be seen in every variety of form. Some of these laces will be seen in vividly dyed colors as well as black and white. Wide bands on all kinds of laces will be used extensively on dresses and costumes. The extreme widths will be used as a band encircling the flounces of the skirts, and the narrower widths to match will be used on the waist front and on the sleeves. The popularity of these wide bands, which may be had in width up to eighteen inches, has brought out some interesting patterns in heavy designs that are indeed stunning. Jabots or plisses are extremely wide and long. In the majority of cases they extend to the waist line and over as far as the shoulder. The shape is generally broader at the top than at the bottom. Sleeves for evening wraps are made very large, and among the new models are those having the long shoulder line with the sleeves attached. Draped skirts are as yet only moderately successful on this side of the water though their popularity in Paris is very great. Ribbon trimmings are still in high favor for millinery.

HAD ONLY ONE FAULT. The "Klndler" Hers th Preacher Sold to the Dealer. Bill enjoyed a joke Just as well if it was on himself as If it was on the other fellow. For many years he was engaged in the livery business at Ho I ton and dealt in horses. One day he heard that a preacher at an adjacent town had a horse for sale. Bill went over to make a deal. The animal was a Joe Dandy. Just what Bill wanted. The price was a little stiff, yet Bill was ready to pay for it if he had to. "lias that horse any faults?" asked Bill. "That is a fine horse, and he has no bad faults except one," replied the preacher. "What's that?" asked BI1L "He is a kindler," said the preacher. Now, that was a new one on Bill, but he didn't propose to show his ignorance. Being a horse trader for twenty years, he didn't intend to let a preacher put one over on him. "Klndier, eh?" replied Bill. "Well, that Isn't so bad. 1 am used to kindlers. 1 can cure him in short order. I have a bottle or two of patent medicine which is warranted to cure that disease. Furthermore, I will put him on an alfalfa diet, and he will soon be all light." The preacher made no comment except to say that he was glad that a klndler could be so easily cured. The trade was made, and Bill tied the preacher's horse on behind bis buggy and drove back to Holton. The next morning he grew confidential with some of his friends in the horse business and told what a good trade he had made with the preacher -good for Bill. Then he hitched the horse up to a buggy to show him off to a prospective buyer. The animal had not gone more than twenty feet until Bill found out what a kindler was. The horse kicked the brand new buggy into kindling wood. "What a successful horse trader that preacher would make!" snorted Bill as he gathered up the splinters from the shattered baggy and led the horse back into the stable. Kansas City Journal.
Reverencing the Rector. The difference, not merely of degree, but of kind, which is supposed to separate the English rector from the inferior order of curates is amusingly exemplified in a case cited in the St James' Budget Returning to his parish after his autumn holiday, a dignified country clergyman, noticing a woman at her cottage door with a baby in her arms, asked: "Has that baby been baptized?" "Well, sir," replied the courtesying mother, "I shouldn't like to say as much as that, but your young man came and did what he could." Sharks and Death. There is an old yet still operative superstition among sailors that when a shark persistently follows a vessel it is a sign that some person on board is going to die, the alleged reason being that the great fish can scent death.

ICEBERG GROUPINGS. Clusters and Long Lines Formed by S terms and Ocean Currents. Among the perils and wonders of the ocean there are few more interesting things than icebergs, interesting not only by reason of their gigantic size, their fantastic shapes, their exceeding beauty, but also for the manner wherein they array themselves. Icebergs exhibit a tendency to form both clusters and long lines, and these groupings may arise from the effects both of ocean currents and of storms. Some Tery singular lines of bergs, extending for many hundreds of miles east of Newfoundland, hare been shown on official charts issued by the government. Two of these cross each other, each keeping on its independent course after the crossing, in several Instances parallel lines of bergs leave long spaces of clear water between them. Curiously enough, while enormous fields of ice invade the so called "steamship lanes" of the Atlantic at the opening of spring during certain years, in other years at that season there is comparatively little ice to bo seen. The ice comes, of course, from the edges of the arctic regions, from the icebound coasts of Greenland and Labrador, where huge bergs, broken from the front of the glaciers nt the point where they reach the sea. start on their long journeys toward the south, driven by the great current that flows from Baffin bay into the northern Atlantic ocean. Harper's Weekly. Why Stars Twinkle. The twinkling of the stars is chiefly aa effect produced in the atmosphere upon the waves of light. It is due to currents and strata of air of different densities Intermingling and floating past each other, through which the light passes to' the eye. It is seen much more in cold than in warm weather and nearer the horizon more than overhead. The same effect may be seen by looking ont of a window over a hot radiator or a candle held on the other side of a hot stove, so that you have to look through a body of highly heated air at the candle flame. The flame will be seen to waver and quiver. In other words, the various layers of air are at different densities and In motion, hence the "twinkle." Exchange.
Some Puns. The best pun In the English language is Tom Hood's: He went and told the sexton. And the sexton tolled the bell. The worst pun is that of the man who fell into a ditch and rose with the remark. "How very ditcbtressingr Dr. Johnson said that the pun was the lowest order of wit. but to this Goldsmith replied. -The pun. in other words, is the foundation of wit. eh?" Every Latin master likes to tell his boys two puns. The first is a punning derivation of restaurant: "lies, a thing: taurus. a bull: a bully thing." The other is a derivation of vinrfn : "Vir, a man; gin. a trap: a man trap. Among newspaper humorists the pun is dying out. In the old days, the good old days, the Burlington Hawkeye man and the Xorristown Herald man and the Arkausaw Traveler man would pun at each other like this: We don't care a straw what Shakespeare said a rose by any other name would not smell as wheat. Arkansaw Traveler. We have made an oat of the above. Burlington Hawkeye. Such puns are barely tolerable. They amale us. they arouse our righteous corn, and they turn the public taste a-rye.
