THEY NEEDED THE MOON.
Custom of Old -Time Doctors in a New
England Town Explained,
Up i' New England town there is a
medical society which is of 60 years'
standing and has the custom of meet-
ing on the Thursday be'f'ore the full oaf
the moon. Recently, says The Nest'
York Sun, some of the younger members
tried to change the tinge of meeting to
the third Wednesday of every month,
Three of the oldest members rose up
ttud protested. They gave the reason
for the peculiar arrangement.
"When this association was formed,"
said one of them, "there were not elec-
tric lights and good roads the way there
are now. The society took in the whole
country and it was often a difficult mat-
ter for the doctors who lived in the
country to drive home after nightfall.
"So we called the moon to our aid and
set the date for the Thursday before
the full of the moon. It is bright moon-
light at a seasonable hour then and The
doctors could see their way home.
"I know there is no necessity for such
an arrangement now, but this will semi
like a new society if we do nut meet the
Thursday before the full of the moon." i
ASTONISH I) TFIE DOCTOR
!Physician Said She Might Drop Dead
at Any Tizne.
"The Doctor told
me I had heart dis-
ease and was liable
to drop on the street
at any time," says
Mrs. Robert Eaton,
of Dufferin, Ont.
"I was afraid to
draw my breath, it
pained me so. I was
so nervous, short of
breath and dizziness,
Mrs. Robert Eaton. lots of appetite,
mothering and sinking spells, and I
could not sleep.
"Sometimes I would have • to lie down
to keep Irom falling. My hands and feet
would seem to go to sleep and. a sort of
numbness would come all over me.
"I began using Dr. Leonhardt's Anti -
Pill. Froin the start I improved. I feel
much stronger, look better, and altoge-
ther Anti -Pill has made a new woman of
me. "I am entirely cured."

House Plants.
System counts. i !
Treatment must be regular.
They shauld be potted once a year.
Only ordinary clay pots should be used.
Other materials prevent air passing to
the roots.
Hide the clay jar, with a hole, in a
jardiniere that fits easily.
Avoid surface wetting. A good sprink-
ling should be supplemented by the sink-
ing of the pot in tepid water.
It is said that a house plant will do
better in summer if it be put outdoors
during the night Indeed, most plants
are the better for being sunk in the
ground in some sheltered sopt.

Fate of the Peacemaker.
(Cleveland Plain Dealer.)
An eastern man at a baseball game was
annoyed by a squabble that delayed the con-
test, and descending from his seat he offer-
ed to arbitrate the dispute. His first words
to the nurse in the hospital where he awoke
several hours later were: "Cyclone, wasn't
It?" Of course ,the moral Is as old as the
hills. The man who officiously interferes in
a family quarrel may expect that all personal
grievances will be forgotten while the en-
tire crowd turns in and bands him All the

DOCTORS' OATH YEARS AGO.
They Swore by,Apollo and Aesculaplus
and AR the Gods,
Secretary Goodrich, of the board of
health, has recently received a copy of
the oath ,that a .physician had to take
in the olden days, and he has it e:chibited
in the office of the -board of health. The
oath is a very strict one, and if a physi-
cian abided by it he had to be a perfect
gentleman in every respect. •
There is no psysiciali in Augusta now
who had to take this oath, as it has been
abandoned for More than seventy-five
years. The oath is as follows:
"I swear by Apollo, the physician, a,n11.
Aeseulapius and Health and Apical and
all the gods and goddesses that according
to my ability and judgment:
I weckonill keep this oath, this stipulation
to rhim who taught me this art
equally dear to me as my parents, to
share my substance with hila a.nd relieve
Itis necessities if; required, to look upon
his offerings ine sante footing my
awls brotheeyisli r's and to tea them this art,
if thlvto learn
"Without fee orthstipulation eitheras by
precept, lecture and every other mode of
instruction, I'impart a knowledge
of the art to my own son and those of
my teachers and to disciples bound by ,a
stipulation and oath.
"According to the lar; of medicine, but
to none others will I follow the system of
regimen which according to my ability
and judgment. I consider.
"For the benefit of my parents and ab-
stain frons whatever is deterious and mis-
chievous. I will give no deadly medicine
to any one 'if asked not to :suggest any
such counsel.
"With purity and holiness I will pass
my life and practice my art. I will not
cut persons laboring under the stone,'
but will leave this to he done by men
who ar; practitioners of thio work. Into
whatever houses I enter I will go into
them for the benefit of the sick and will
abstain from every voluntarily mischief
and corruption.
"And further from the seduction of fe-
males or males of freshmen and slaves,
whatever in connection with my profes- .
sional practice or not in connection with i
it I see or bear in life of men which
ought not to be spoken of abroad I will
not drvulge as reckoning that all such
should be kept secret. While I continue
to keep this oath unviolated may it be
granted to me to enjoy life and the prac-
tice of the are respected by all men in all
times,
"But should I trespass and violate this
oath ma,y the reverse be my,.ot."--Au-
gusta Chronicle.

The Will to Live.
The will to live is demonstrated in an
exhibit in a plumber's window on upper
Third avenue, says the New York ,Sun.
The object is all that remains of a rat
that had somehow been caught in a lead
pipe just. about large enough to hold its
body. It had run in and could not turn
or back out, but it had no intention of
dying there. It gnawed a hole through
the pipe, but, unfortunately, it started to
squeeze through before it had made the
hole big enough, so it just got its head
and forepaws through and died there af-
ter all. The plumber says he cut out the
section of the pipe while overhauling the
plumbing in the Lenox Library. He ex-
plains the good preservation of the speci-
men bysaying that it "must have" been
frozen to death and got petrified."
The Indispensable Man.
Let no man fall into the dear delusion that
he is an undispensable part of this war1•1',
machinery. No matter how much he may
overestimate his importance, it is yet prob-
able, at least possible, that he has a defin-
ite, if elastic, value,but let hint drop out of
the whirl, having still breath enough to last
him while be surveys the situation, and be
will find that the wheels will go right on
turning in the old familiar way.

Hunger Stalks Through Many of the
Czar's Provinces.
A.ceording to figures publisbe.rl in the
Russian press 24 Russian provinces',
comprising 13S districtsm, with a popula-
tion of 25,000,000, are suffering from the
consequences of 'harvest failure. The
deficiency of the last 'harvest amounted
to 347,000,000 poods (112,000,000 hun-
dredweight) of grain, as compared with
the annual yield of the preceding three
years, and to more than 557,000,000
poods (139,000,000 hundredweight) as
compared with the yield of 1904. It
is stated that in several provinces the
harvest amounted to only one-half and
in some other provinces to less than one-
third of the quantity required to meet
the people's needs.

WAY OF WASHING
FIRST,—Dip the article
to be washed in a tub of
lukewarm water, draw it
out on a washboard and rub
the soap lightly over it.
Be' particular not to miss
soaping all over. THEN
roll it in a tight roll, lay
in the tub under the water,
and go on the same way
until all the pieces have the
soap rubbed on, and are
rolled up.
Then go away for
thirty minutes to one
hour and let the to,
Soap do its work.
NEXT.— After soaking
the full time rub the clothes
lightly out on wash board,
and the dirt will drop
out; turn the garment in-
side out to get at the seams,
but don't use any more
soap; don't scald or boil a
s.ngle piece, and don't
wash through two suds. If
the water gets too dirttp
pour a little out and add
fresh. If a streak is hard
to wash, rub some amore
soap on it, and throw
the piece back into the
suds fora few minutes.
LASTLY COMES THE
RINSING, which is to be
done in lukewarm water,
taking special care to get
all the dirtr suds away,
then wring out and Ir+ng
up to dry.

nels proceed as follows:
Shake the articles free from
dust. Cut a tablet of
SUNLIGHT SOAP into
shavings, pour into a gallon
of boiling water and whisk
into a lather. When just
lukewarm, work articles in
the lather without rub-
bing. Squeeze out dirty
water without twisting
and rinse thoroughly in two
relays of lukewarm water.
