Oregon Medical Fees In Bygone Days. At the beginning of the eighteenth century the usual fees to physicians and surgeons in England were "to a graduate in physick, his due Is about 10 shillings, though he commonly ex pects or demands 20. Those that are only licensed physicians, their due is no more that 6 shillings and 8 pence, though they commonly demand 10 shillings." "A surgeon's fee Is 12 pence a mile, be his Journey near or far, 10 groats to set a bone broken or out of joint, and for letting blood 1 shilling; the cutting or amputation on any limb, 5 pounds, but there is no settled fee for the cure." The system of regulating the fee according to the pocket of the patient, remarks the Westminster Ga zette, -is almost as old as history. Potato Cakes of 1871. Peel enough good-sized potatoes for a meal for the family, grate on a coarse grater and stir In from three to five eggs, then add a little flour. More eggs will not hurt them. Stir well and fry In hot lard, and if tried once they will be tried again and often. Hedgehogs Milk Cows. A 6porting incident on a farm at Uffculme, in Devonshire, England, has revived the question whether or not hedgehogs under certain circumstan ces abstract milk from cows. A farmer and his friend were shooting rabbits when their spaniel bustled out of the hedge with a hedgehog in its mouth. "Kill the brute," called out the farm er. "Hedgehogs have been a perfect pest this year. They have been milk ing my cows." The dog returned to the hedge, where It caught five other hedgehogs In quick succession. Many Devon' farmers are convinced that hedgehogs take milk from cows when they are lying down. They have been known to kill fowls and suck Innum erable eggs. $100 TO $500 SAVED On Each Automobile.

SAYS NEY WAS A GERMAN English Writer Makes Interesting As sertion About Most Prominent French Marshal. A recent English book about Mar shal Ney, Napoleon's historic lieuten ant, "the bravest of the brave," brings out some Interesting facts. This Frenchman was really a Ger man. He was born at Saarlouls, now in Prussia, and then and always Ger man. He spoke only German as a child. He was red-haired, with a wide face, and round blue eyes. Five feet eight inches in height, he had a short body and long legs. His comrades called him "le rougeot," which was equivalent to "carrots" or "brick top." He was forty-six years old at Water loo. So was Napoleon. So was Well ington. Michel Ney was a man who was trained up to the hardships of a work man's life. His father was a cooper, and in his boyhood work In his fa ther's business he was accustomed to toil anl exposure. This enabled him to sleep placidly in the snow on the return from Moscow, wrapped In his cloak, "with the starved, ragged sol diers of the grand army keeping guard, and the Cossacks prowling around in the darkness."

PETS FOR THE GROWING BOY Rabbits, Pigeons and Especially Ban tam Chickens Are Dear to Heart of Developing Lad. (By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTEJ Farming might be defined aa the art of producing valuable crops from the soil and disposing of these soil products In a profitable manner. This definition la lame, academically, but It carries our Idea, The backyard farmer must Include a great many other factors in his op erations, aa the pecuniary profits he derives are of much less Importance than the beautifying of his surround ings and of the lives of his entire fam ily. No Intelligent person can live amid beautiful ennobling scenes with out being Influenced for the better, even though it be unconsciously. In the same manner, bare, sterile, unin teresting homes tend to have an ad veres effect upon their inhabitants, which will affect them throughout their entire lives. Thoughtful people are realizing more and more that unless, the mind Is in sympathy with nature, unless the garden of each person's inner self Is fertile and responsive to cultiva tion, there Is small hope of better, ment from outside Influence. The adult mind which has been denied helpful Influences may become Imper vious to them in time, but the hope of the race lies in his children. The child's mind Is a fertile gar den, which cannot produce Its own flowers and fruit, but which responds readily to the treatment It receives, and bears fruit or evil weeds accord ing to what we plant therein and how it Is cultivated. . . One of the most beautiful and hope ful things about the whole scheme of creation is, to our mind, the fact that every normal child is born square with the world. He Inherits neither his parents bodily or mental diseases. But from the Instant he first cries, his future depends almost absolutely upon the care he receives. . Parents of children have wonderful opportunity to better themselves and the entire world by making their own children better than their parents, physically and mentally. This is the only way we have of repaying to our parents their sufferings and depriva tions in bringing us to manhood and womanhood. There comes a time in every boy's life when the childish amusements no longer suffice, and he seeks Interests out of doors. This Is the time when the mother ceases to have an eye on his every movement and he begins to associate with other boys of his own age, but of totally different bringing up, in many cases. As far as possible, your boy should be kept under observation at this time, as he Is at the crucial stage. Make his home more interesting and have his playmates there, so that you can see that he Is associating with' helpful children, rather than harmful ones. Nothing serves to make home Inter esting to boys at this age so much as pets of their own. It is a calamity to have a boy grow up without having owned a dog of his own. Rabbits, pigeons and especially ban tam chickens, are dear to the heart of the developing lad, and he is just as much entitled to the helpful com panionship of pets as he is to a school education. Let him have full respon sibility for them, and the results will take care of themselves. TWO ODD OPTICAL ILLUSIONS Actual Measurement of Two Figures Shown Will Prove That They Are of Exact Size. The picture on the left represents two figures In a gallery. At first sight no one would doubt that the man at the top of the Illustration was by far the taller, but an actual measure ment of the two figures will show that they are precisely of the same height The picture on the right gives the Impression that the two thick black lines are curved, but on examination It will be found that they are perfect ly parallel. The lines which diverge Optical Illusions. from that center cause the Illusion, for they lead the lines ot vision away, making It appear that the black lines are further apart at the center than they are at their ends. If the drawing la neia edgeways to the eve It will ba seen that they are exactly true. 11 CLASSED SALMON A8 LUXURY Doctor's Explanation of Graded Fees Had to Satisfy Rich but Parsi monious Patient A wealthy man, well known for his extreme stinginess, drove up hurriedly in his carriage to the door of a cele brated doctor. He was in a state of acute discomfort and fear, from the simple fact that at the moment a piece of fish bone was sticking some where in the region of his throat. The doctor removed the dangerous obsta cle, and the gentleman breathed free ly. "Thank you, doctor!" he exclaimed, much relieved. "I'll never eat salmon again never! And with what ease you removed It. A mere minute's op eration, was it not? How much a what Is your fee?" "Half a guinea," replied the doctor. "Half a guinea!" exclaimed the man. For half a minute'B work? Im possible!" "But consider for a moment!" said the doctor. "It's a salmon bone!" "What has that to do with it?" "Oh, a great deal,", replied the doc tor. "Had it been a halibut, or fresh haddock, I should have charged less perhaps 5 shillings. For codfish or eels, 2-and-6 would have been ample payment. Mackerel 2 shillings. While a red herring bone I might even have removed free of charge. But salmon! Well, really, sir, one has to pay for these luxuries." And his patient paid. London Mail. .
