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 bo everything, There aro oases where the diagnosis of a good physician U simply invuluublo; hU liiiiln about food are not to Uo neglected, yet I hey hIioiiM ho taken, porliupn, cum yrtiiio, nnd chuoLnd by pornoiml experience.

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 only. New York Sun. Tlio Aviiluuclies in the Alps. Swiss papers, writes a correspondent it The London Times, give further de 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 lives. ,?!i tho commune of In trod sev eral houses woro destroyed by a sin glo avalanche, and threo women bur iod under tho snow.

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 if tho stern father had surrounded his domicile with a fence bristling with spikes, scattered broken bottles at all, the approaches and populated tho in-, closure with hungry bulldogs thoi Romeo of my stoiy would havo braved1 nil tho dangers, with tho additional one of the vauderbJt boot, to bask in tlio light of his lady-lovo's oyos. Tho 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 a good deal of pom). Mr. Vandorhilt made tho 3'osing man a junior partner in a linn of brokers, to give him a Wall street education, and thon set him up iu business for himself, Syra cric Journal. 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 01 stone Decaino thicker, heavier, and 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 bhoeks.

KceiiP began in California as a school-teacher, but soon turned specu lator aud made an immenso fortune. 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 might bo oiferijd. Ho was tho brains of tho famous corner in wheat in 1879, and, indeed, that was a lucky year for him iu more than one operation. Some df our readers ma romoinbor tho tre mendous bull inovomont in Lako Shore which marked tho time referred to, and thus brought out tho exclamation oi Uncle Rufus Hatch: "I did intend to go into Lako Shore along with Jim 1 1. ti: 1.. 1 i.iAj Keone."

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- less bubblo 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.

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.
