Under seu11 circumstances tho doc-
tor's Icuowicctge was practical, and de-
rived from pt rsonal (experience rather
that from Lecke. The advantages of
study were sp riugly enjoyed. Few
physicians boat;:ted cf at library of GO
volumes.
His apprenticeship ended, the student
rcturz-ccl to Ins reetivc town to essume
the practice of medicine. At that period,
with the exe(peicn of the minister and
the judge, the doctor was the most im-
portant perronage iu his community.
His genial Theo, leis engaging manners,
the sincerity with which he inquired
after the c;.rpeuter's daughter and the
interest which he took iu the family of
the pocreet laborer made hips the fa-
vorite for miles arouud. He knew the
names and 1':'I: -anal history of the matt
pants of every house he passed. The
farmer's lads pulled. off their hats to
him aztd the girls dropped courtesies as
he passed. Sur shine and rain, daylight
and darkness, were alike to hint.- He
would ride ten miles in tho darkest
night over the 'worst of roads in a pelt-
ing storm to administer a cicge of calo-
mel to an old won .= n or attend a child
in a fit.
The drugs were stowed away on the
shelves cf the village store, among
heaps cf shoes, Pohau hate, packages of
seeds and flitches of bacon.
The physician was compelled to cern-
pound his own drugs, make his own
tinctures and put up his own prescrip-
tions. His Saddlebag was the only drug
store within 40 miles. Each spring the
blood must be purified, the kidneys ex-
cited raid the damsel who fainted pro-
fusely bled. Large doses of senna and

taken daily. It was safe to say that

GIRL LIFE 1N MEXICO. •
she Kap Considerable Freedom, but rt Za
of the night Kind.
Mc;ciean house life is unique It dif,
fors very essentially from the dortestio
fife of the Anglo-Saxon race, for it is
founded on respect for parents, The in
fluence of the Catholic church is power -
fain lnaiutaining a high grade of fam-,
fly behavior. There is a sweetness and
a charm about a well ordered Mexican
hoee 'which is a revelation to ac1tllcrn
e;.opla who have imbibed afalse idea of
matters here, The women of the best
Mexican families are naturally of a gen-
tle disposition, but they command oLe-
iiicuee, and rarely spoil their erns,
whom they idolize. There are excep-
tions, but they are eat enough to break
eow11 the general social diseiplipe.
As for the girls, no reputable lticxi-
ian father or mother would allow for a
memeut the thought of permitting a
girl of any age to be an the streets after
dark unless accompanied Ly an older
person, a trusted ser ,ant or elder broth-
er. So, even among girls of the humbler
class, there is no street strolling in the
evening. They may, in warns weather,
go to tho alanieda, or public park, when
there is a baud concert, but always un-
der escort. They may go to a'tertulia,
or evening party, but with some com-
petent person. They may dance, wildly
flirt, on such occasions, but they are al-
ways under the watchful eye of a rela-
tive. There is plenty of proper freedom
for young girls, and a larger liberty in
the cities thtui formerly, but they are
not allowed to run about without escort,
and a very careful eye is kept upon
them by parents and relatives, even to
distant reale cousins. Such a thing as a
young girl or young woman of any
character or family being upon the
street at night, alone and unattcucded, ie
unknown. Your daughter goes to visit
a friend in the afternoon and stays to
tea. Then the geilticnnau and lady of
the house, the geutiennun alone or an
old servant brings her home. t=o the
streets 0f this big town are never the
rite of fc'o]isll, flighty girls Lying fol-
lowed end "picked up" Ly strangers.
And as for men who insult young
girls aril women, the remedy is usually
a esndd•rr and fatal one. In milder eases
the ncw7 rpaeers give minute descriptions
of the "satyr" who has insulted a lady,

large parties to see bine and chant verses
set aside for such ecelisions, praising
the beauty that will be his when the
