DOCTORS AND D0CT0&NU
k Few Words of Advice to People V ho Are
Inclined to Medication.
Do wo beliovo in doctors? Whether
wo do or not, wo generally send for
them when wo aro ill. Still, if I wore
asked my opini'Qi, I should say tho
profession is largely overcrowded,
l'lrtyic is hugely overdone. Half the
complaints "people especially idlo
people suffer from aro imaginary. I
do not deny that men and women got
ill. and occasionally die, but 1 hold
that in a vast number of cases, a doc
tor is unnococsary at first, nnd quite
helpless at lust that is, so far as his
physio is concerned, and 1 have pretty
good authority for what I say.
Sir William Jon nor has tho courago
to declare that "tho science ot medi
cino is a barbarous jargon overy doso
of medicine is a blind experiment!"
When the groat Majondio assumed tho
I'rofessor's Chair of Medicine at tho
College of Franco, ho thus addressed
the astonished students: "Gentlemen,
medicine is a humbug. Who knows
anything: about medicine? I tell you
frankly,'! don't. Nature does a good
deal; doctors do very little when
they don't do harm." Majondio went
on to toll tho following pungont littlo
professional talo out ot school:
"When 1 was head physician at tho
Hotel Dion I divided the patients into
three sections. To ono I gave tho
regulation way; to another I gave
broad, millc and colored water and to
tho third sooti&nl gave nothing at all.
Well, gentlemen, overy one m tho
third section got well. Nature in
variably came to tho rose no."
Now, of course, wo must allow
something for the obtrusive candor of
professional confession which is al
ways apt to overleap tho mark and
give tho opponent a few more points
than he asks for, really for tho sake of
placing him at a disadvantage. Still
there, is truth in the candid jest, if jest
it bo; and tho truth is this: Tho doc
tor is often superfluous, sometimes
mischievous, and occasionally fatal.
Physicking, as Sir Win. Jennor (quoted
by "Dr. Ridge) admits, is largely a
speculative operation. The ingenious
"doseist," as Artcmus Ward" would
Bay, has theories about what is the
matter with 3011; lie physics according
to his theory, and then physics to cor
rect his theory. This ho calls "chang
ing the treatment." Wrong again !
Try back; alter diet; then physic away
at "the now diet. Wrong again! Pa
tient gets worse. Perhaps it is change
of air, not chango of food ho wants
bright idea! send him out of town.
Oil' ho goes into tho country; forgets
to take his physic; feels better; gets
well; doctor looks bland, nods his head
and says: "Told you so; change of air
that's whit yon wanted." What he
really wanted was to ho loft alone
Leave oil' worrying Nature that is
what is required; not fn all cases, but
in a good many; and that is probably
whatTMajondic and Jeuncr and all the
wise doctors think. They aim at diet
and discipline they assist, they do
not try to force, Nature's hand and
they overy now aud thou admit this in
a burst of coulideuce.
There is another dubious side of tho
question. Doctors often say to you,
"He &u-o you coiuo to mo at oncfo. I
can arrest disease at an early stago;
but delay hesitate! hesitate! and
you aro lost!" This is just onooif
those dangerous half-truths whoroout
doctors do suck no small advantige.
If yon call tho doctor in for every lit
tle" ailment, you will net into an arti
licial state. Nature will strike work,
and you will never be woll without
tho tlootor nor with him either. If you
always tako opiates, you will never
sleep without them; or tonics, you will
never eat without them; or stimulants,
you will never work without them.
It is a law true in sociology and
physics alike that dependence grows
by what it feeds on. There aro doctors
who always send people to bed directly
thoy huvo a littlo cold and thoso peo
ple are forever catchiug cold thoy
liavo no resistance left. You are some
what out of order; instead of exorcise
and moderation, in conies tho dootor
with bis doso and, next time, nature
will refuse to have anything to do with
you. "1 am not going to trouble my
self about you," she virtually says.
"Send for tho doctor; you profor his
physio to my more slow, but more sure
Hid nioro healthy recuperative power.
Take physio I strike work."
but wo go on too long with the doctor,
lie. call and calls again; ho refines his
proscriptions until its gradations of cf
lleaoy aro quite imperceptible, but they
are just enough to keep nature in leading-strings
aud to tnako each stop de
pendent upon tho therapeutic art.
Of course, 1 admit that there ire
many casus to which those romu.'ks are
wholly inupplieablo. Bronchitis, incip
ient cuncer and olhorw, both functional
and orguulo to take these In time may

Now Jersey has a child labor law
which forbids tho employment iu man
ufactories of boys under 12 years of
ago and girls under I t, and also pro
vides that no child undor 14 shall bo
employed more than sixty hours n
wcekLast July an amendment to
tho law went into effect. This says
that no child between 12 nnd 15 shall
be employed in any manuifctory un
less such child shall have attended
school for twelve weeks within ono
year immediately preceding tho cm
ployimnit. Tho annual report of Law
rence T. Fell, tho inspector of facto
ries aud workshops, has just been
made.
There aro eight thousand factories
in tho state, employing about fifteen
-thousands youths and children. When
the educational section of the, Jaw went
into operation hundreds of children
who could not show that thoy had at
tended school were turned out of tho
shops. Thoy or their guardians made
application for permits for thorn to
work, and during the rest of the year
tho inspectors were largely engaged
in considering those cases." Through
these examinations tho inspectors dis
covered startling facts concerning tho
ignorance of tho children.
Tho average age at which thoy wont
to work was 9 3 ears, after ono or
two years of schooling. All of them
had been accustomed to work ton
hours a da', and many of thorn oven
fourteen hours. Thoso who had enter
ed the shops the earliest in life woro
tho punest and tho most ignorant.
Somo of them woro sot at work at so
tender an ago that tho' could not tell
when thoy began. Tho weekly wages
of tho children do not average $2.
Main' of tho children often complain
that they do not have a full dinner
hour, and when doing overtimo thoy
got only liftecn or thirty minutes far
suppei. A girl under lf years was
found by Inspector Fell working at 10
o'clock at night in a faotory whore tho
temperature was over 100 degrees.
After her thirteen hours and a half
of toil she had to walk two miles bo
fore reaching home.
Tho vast majority of tho children
cannot spell words of more than 0110
syllable, and many cannot cpoll at
all. They cannot answer tho simplest
questions in geography. A girl of 13
years told an inspector that Europo
was in tho moon. A few were found
who never heard of tho huh, or moon,
or earth, and a largo number who
could not toll whero or when thoy woro
born. A boy born in New York and
living iu Paterson said that Now York
was in Jersoy and Jersey was in Pater
son. This bo' had been at wor from
his 8th year, "it was tl;o opinion of
some that Europo was an ocean.
Nlnoty-iivo per cont could answer no
questions about otlir states or cities
of tho United States. Children who
had been brought to this country be
fore their Gth yo.tr, in somo cases,
never heard tho name of their nativo
country. Somo children born in Hol
land never hoard of that countr',
and somo children born in Ireland
said that Ireland was in America.
Roys and girls who had been brought
to this country from Groat Britain,
Ireland, and Germany, between the
ages of 12 aud 15 years, woro hotter
educated and knew more aboift tho
geography jind history of America
than children born and reared iu tho
state.
Mr. I oil says tho work of tlto inspec
tors has crovvdeil day and night
schools, and he suggests that tho st7ito
provide nioro adequato school accom
modations in every county. Ho also
recommends that a law be passed for
tho protcetion of children employed
whero tho sale of goods is carried "on.
Tho present law applies to factd?ies

Swiss papers, writes a correspondent

tails of tho havoc wrought by aval
anches in tho Val d'Aosta. Most of tho
villages nro buriod or in ruins, and
lUnzy of tlio inhabitants have lost their

Vanderbilt's Plucky Daughter.
William Seward Wobb, a son of Gen.
Janirs Watson Webb, the journalist,
married Lolia Osgood Vahderbilt, tho
last remaining unmarried daughter of
William II. Vandorhilt, tho richest
man in America. It was a lovo match,
too, and tho young pair aro as happy
as turtlo doves in each othor'B socioty.
Wobb was a young sprig and Vandr.V
bilt did not like him. Figuratiyrdy
speaking, ho kicked him out of tho
houso several times, but in this in
stance lovo laughed at kicks, and
doubtless would havo taken cuiVs at
the same time with perfect composure.
The fact is, Mr. Vandorhilt forbado
him tho houso, but tho j'oug girl was
in love with young Wobb, and when
a girl is in lovo there is ono of two
things sho will either get over it or
go through with it. Miss Lolia had
sot her heart on tho young doctor, nnd

domicile with a fence bristling with

gentleman wasunrolonting, and I veri
ly beliovo thoro would havo been an,
elopement but for thu interference of
Mrs. Vandorhilt. Sho was tho daughter
of a clergyman, you know. Sho is
good hearted and sensible and with a
woman's foresight saw how things
wero going and told hor husband that
ho must not tr to prevent, tho match.
Ho respects his wife, who is all that a
helpmate implies to him, and bowed
to hor will. 0Thoy woro married with

Tho Story of Vesuvius.
A Hylo nioro than eighteen centuries
since, tho form of tho mountain was
totally different; its height was proba
bly somo hundred yards less than at
present, its outline a blunt, truncated
cone, having a wide crater at tho sum
mit; uo oruption in tho memory of
man hud disturbed tho peace o"f tho
district; scarce a tradition of such an
occurrence appears to havo lingered.
Tlio lloor of the crater was overgrown
with brushwood and trees, its walls
were festooned with ivv and tho wild
vine. Once only does it become proud
nent in history, whon tho Capuan
Radiators sheltered themselves for a
nou
el
while in this natural hill-fort, from
which under command of Spartacus,
thor escaped to begin tho sorvilo war.
In tho yoar 7!) of tho present era there
was a change; earthquakes ngitated
tlio neighboring district, and at the
last imprisoned lires broke forth.
From tho crater of Vesuvius a huge
dark cloud rose into tlio air, spreading
itself out like a groat nine tree; pres
ently a nan 01 red-not scoria came
rattling down over tho Hanks of tho
mountain, aud as night foil tho cloud
grow larger and darker, and the shower

nioro widely spread.
1110 (inrKiiesH lor many miles was ren
dered blacker still by tho thickly-falling
scoria, though illuminated at in
tervals by a lurid gleam from tho
mountain, and tendered yet mure
awful by thu incessant earthquake

later still the air cleared; half thu an

KceiiP began in California as a

Then he came to this city aud created
a sensation by his bold movements.
Ho has operated in opium, pork, gas,
mines, horses, grain, and stocks, ami
seemed ready to tako in whatever

and, indeed, that was a lucky year for
him iu more than one operation. Some

That year was his palmy limo. Ho
thon hail a villa at Newport worth
$200,000, and also a lino houso in town,
and ho kept a racing stable in Eng
land iu addition to his.splomlid stud of
horses at homo. "Foxhall" and
"Spendthrift" gavo him prominence
in British sporting circlos and boro oil
somo of U10 best prizes, though at a
heavy oxponse. His luck soomod to
extend as far as lie reached. This led
him to still greater ventures. Ho
thought ho could crush Jay Gould and
become solo king of Wall strcot. IIo
extended his operations and wont into
fancy stocks with an eagerness which
surprised all his associates. Tlio con
sequence was that ho was loaded in
every direction when tlio shrinkage
came, and his wealth disappeared
with a rapidity that has rarely boon
equaled. When, however, a man
is loaded with Donvcrand Rio Grande
at par, and unloads at 8, it does not
tako lonjr to cloan him out. How
strange it now seoins
that this worth-

was ono of his heaviest
deals, and that ho stuck to it with a
reckless determination. Last Juno ho
failed, and since thon ho has boon
struggling to keop merely a homo, but
his sliaro in an apartment house has
just boon sold and thco man who so
recently was reckoned at S10.000.000
is now almost an object of charity.
Such is life in Wall street.
Thoro was a time when ho was
poiidjCd out in Wall strcot with the
exclamation: "Thoro goes Jim Keeno
with $1,000,000 in oacli pockot. "Now,
however, tho word is: "Thoro goos

tried to keep up nerve undor fliis col

disappointment. Ho washin boforo
his troubles began, and this innkos his

beard havo lost that expression of
power that thoy onco scomod to havo,
and his liory temperament is abated.
Thoro was a time whon ho was ready
for a quarrel at a moment's notice,

Tho citizens of tlio United States

in favor of tho liberty and happiness
of thoir fellow-mon on" that sido of tho
Atlantic. In tho wars of tho Euro
pean powers, in matters relating to
themselves, wo havo nover taken "any
part, nor doos it comport with our
policy to do so. It is only when our
rights aro invaded or seriously mon
accd that wo rosont injuries or inako
preparations for our dofonso. Willi
tho inoveinonts of this homisphoro wo
aro of necessity moro immediately
concerned, and by causes which must
bo obvious to all enlightened and im
partial observer. Tlie political sys
tem of tho allied powers is essontially
different in this respect from that of
America. This difference proceeds
from that wicb exists in thuir re
spective governments. And to tho do
fonso of our own, which havo been
achcivod by tlio loss of so muchlood

dom of thoir niotftonlightenod citizens,

view any interposition for the purpose
of oppressing thoin, or controlling in

ellcr: It is not likely that low-imokod
dresses would form such a constant
subject of conversation, as thoy cer
tainly do, whorover a few women aro
gathered, if tho nowspapors woro not
paying so much attention to them.
Neither tho criticisms nor the undis
guised look of disgust which tlio ap
pearance of an Immodestly low-necked
woman creates afl'oot thorn in tho
faintest degree This vulgar display
Is an embarrassment to hostesses, but
hardly a party or reception occurs
whore such may not ho found in moro
than ono instance There are a Hum
bor of women they can hardly bo
called ladles who aro making a big
show horo lately whoso antecedents
nobody knows anything about, and
whoso claim to social connections Is
Just about as hazy. Thoy havo a su
premo lot of assurance, and aro famous
as the leaders of tho duuollete move
ment. Decent people have no patience
with tho easy consuluiiee that allows
women of this typo to uotually form a
social following, to give crowded par
Hon and hulls, which nice people vuem
to be too prudish to stay .itvay from.
