DOCTORS' BIG FEES.

The doctor and some of the reporters
were talking in the little toom opposite
the telephone office tlosvu at Bellevue
hospital,
"I see by the papers," said the doctor,
mentioning the stoy of a large bill re-
ported to 'have been sent in bya surgeoli
of the city, "that this doctor' didn't' feol
satisfied with $d,000, lie- thought he
ought to have $4,000. That' "`s a rather

on the sort of a ease which the singeen

of the best known physicians In the city.
When 1)r. B, learned the history of the
case, he took one long look tit the man's
face and reached for his hat.
" !I need time io think this over," he
paid. 'You meet toe tomorrow at Del-

"'By thunder,' Said the mane 'do you

BORROWED ON HIS SALARY.
The Difference Detween Getting Into
• and Getting Ont of Debt.
propos of borrowing moneyeon one's
salary," said -a prominent merchant of
this city, taling of that peculiar phage
of theloan business,'"I ans Ems:shaded of a
curipus, case that came under my. obser-
-,ross,ss, stiro.:_ A eiceung man elite
ployed on the clerical staff of a 1lity6.-Con-
cern here was given a tip on a 'good
thing' in cotton. It came to him in such
a way that he felt absolutely certain of
cleaning up a nice little sum of money,
and as be had no funds of his own just
then he took the liberty of borrowing
$250 from the house. In plain English
he stole $250 from the firnit's current
cash, and when he lest, as he did, be
found himself in the deuce of a fix.
"However, be was able to carry things
over \without detection for a few days
-and in the naeantime succeeded in getting
a loan of the necessary sum from a pri-
vate money shark. The loan was for six
months, and he agreed to pay 15 per cent
a month, or $475 altogether. That was
pretty steep, of course, but I have known
a dozen cases of extortion almost as bad.
"Ai the expiration of the six months
the young man paid the $225 interest and
hustled up another $250 loan to lift the
principal. On that second loan I think
he paid 10 per cent a month. At, any
rate he kept on borrowing from Peter to
pay Paul for nearly three years -to be
exact, 34 months -at the end of which
time he, had actually paid more than
$1,250 interest and still owed the original
debt. Ile bad a growing family on his
hands and iu spite of all his squeezing
and scraping was never able to get rid of
the load.
"During the last wear be had fallen in-
to, the hands of a salary shaver, and even-
tually he was prevented by sickness from
making a payment, and one of his orders
was presented to his employer. Upon
that he made a clean breast of the whole
transaction, 'and his .boss, instead of, dis-
charging him, took up the debt and is let-
ting him Pay it off a little ata time. This
is an absolutely true story and shows
what can happete to a fellow when he,
gets in the lion's paws." -New Orleans
Tinses-Democrat.
Early Lamps and Wicks.
It would be hazardous to conjecture
what the first wick consisted of, but
when we come to consider the iron lamp,
or "crusie," we know that the wick com-
monly used was the pith of the rush,
which was gathered and partially strip-
ped eras outer green covering, cut into
proper lengths,' dried and tied up Into
bundles ready for else. The iron lamp
was hammered out of one piece of iron
in a stone .mold.' This was usually done
by the blacksmith, and the molds are
still to be seen in museums, in‘the bands
of private 'collectors and no doubt at
some of the country blacksmiths' shops.
They are of one 'uniform shape, with
some slight varieties. The hump consists
of two cupsdone suspended above and in-
side the other. The suspender is sodixed
and notched as to enable the •upper cup,
which holds,the oil and wick, to be shift;
ed to keep the oil constantly in contact
with the wick. The lower eup catches
the drip of the oil, tyllieb can be easily
replaced in the upper cup by lifting it off
until the oil is poured into it. The upper
cup has sometimes a movable lid. -

scribes as "the most Cliffietat an,
army can be called,upon to perform. -'1'
The bet way to defend a brichee is
from the rear—that is, at the end
furthest from the enemy. Here is a
plan to show you. EJOW this is done:
The advantage of this plan is that
you cada -concentrate on the bridge
the fire of your centre, while your
flanks can engage the enemy's cover-
ing troops, on whose fire he depends
to get him across. Ms covering
troops could only use dispersed' or
d' fire,
If. they concentrated their fire on
your centre, they would run the risk
of shooting their own troops. Your
centre would therefore be left unmol-
ested to destroy the enemy in detail,
as he debottelied on your side. Now
obeerve the difference if you tried to.
defend the bridge in front, thus:
Ilere the enemy‘has the advantage
of concentrated fire, while you have

to use dispersed fire which is tlae
least hurtful kind You also have
the pleasure of knowing that if ele-
feated you have to retire across the
bridge, and subinit to the pulverizing
process before mentio,ned.
You would have to defend a bridge
in front at all costs, if you were cov-
ering the retirement or 'advance, of
your main body a,oross it. This last
is practically' what the garrison. at
