' ; . By the Persistent Use of
Aycr's Sarsapariifa
"I was troubled for years with
sore on my Knee, wiucn several,
physicians whotreated ine, called a
cancer,, assuring me that nothing
could be done to save my life. As-
- a last resort, I was induced to try
Ayer's Sarsaparillaand, after tak-
. lug a number of bottles, the sore
began to disappear and my general
health improve. :. I persisted m this
treatment, until the sore was en
tirely healed. Since, then, I use
Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally
a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in
deed, it seems as though I could not
keep house Avitliout it." Mrs. S. A.

FM Kaally. 1 .
A visit hi the morning to tba office
of any of tuu specialists wbo hnvo
succeeded in establishing therauulvos
in business in this city will make it
clear why bo many young medical
students are possessed of the pbilan
:oiaJritntinn of, devoting tboir
Careers to alleviating a single human
ill. ':;:
The usual office hours are from 9
a. m. to 1 p. m. During that time
from 2 to SO patients will generally
be found waiting their turn in the
reception room. The fee oommonly
charged by specialists Of the first
class is 110 for the first consultation
and $5 for each subsequent inter
view. The physicians who are at
the very top in thoir special branches
of the medical profession have a
higher scale of fees. From these fig
ures one may calculate incomes of
specialists ranging upward from
$10,000, $20,000 and $30,000 n year.
That is from their office practica in
the morning. In addition they have
the afternoon in which to visit pa
tients and to perform operations.
The fees charged for performing
operations are exceedingly high in
special cases, fco 'that altogether tho
specialist is very wfll rewarded for
whatever peculiar skill and knowl
edge he may have acquired.
The proceedings at one of the in
terviews between specialist and pa
tient oro sometimes of a simplicity
surprising to n layman, and tho
physician seems to earn his foe
easily. Not long ago, when it camo
a man's turn to be admitted into tie
consultation room of on oculist of
high standing in this tf.y, jhtrphy
sicianrequestedTliiui to wait a mo
ment while to attended to another
patient. The other patient was then
admitted into tho room. It was a
young girl Who was accompanied
by her mother. Tho oculist merely
raised tho girl's eyelid, lcolred at tho
cyo and told tho, mother, to bring
bcr daugiiter back in three days.

BOTHERED BY A TITLE.
On of Mm Confederate Frrrataa Who Waa
Introduced aa a Major,
Among the countless number of
men who have served in the civil
War and now revel in military titles
Of all descriptions it is refreshing to
meet with a man who will plainly
tell you that bis name is "Mr." and
that he served' from beginning to
end of the bloody campaign as a full
blown private Of that description
is John J. Scrivner, the San Francis
co attorney. "
When the war broko out, Mr.
Borivner enlisted in tbe Confederato
service and went through the entire
war, laying down his arms at Its
close with the humble rank of pri
vate that was assigned to him on
enlisting. He now enjoys tho repu-
tation among bis fellows of being
the only man that has yet been dis-
Uojvered tn the state Of California
who served throughout tbe war and
yet possesses no gorgeous proflx
to nis name, it useu to do cus
tomary in the south when veteran
met veteran for soma title to pass
between the two. .
-. Woll, Borivner was opposed to this
principle and fortunate enough to
esoapo involuntary dignity until ono
memorable occasion,' not long ao, !
When he was conducting a case np
in B u tta county. The legal lumina-
rios of tbe district showed him Bomo ;
hospitality, "And," ns ho afterward j
espressod it in relating tho cirouin- J
stance to Judgo Hunt, "one day I
was introduced to a southerner by
nn idiot who said, 'Mr. So-and-sb,
this is Major Scrivner,' .
"I folt mad, but I bad not lima to
reprimand my introducer nor to ex
plain matters. In an instant I found
mysolf shaking hands with tho
southerner, who eyed me narrowly.
" 'You served in tho Confederate
army, major?' bo asked.
'I did,' I replied.
'"I was in the Confederate array
mysolf, sir,' returned tho southern
er, 'and I'm pretty w jII tip in tho
army list. What branch of the serv
ice were you attached toi"'
ino armiwy, irepneu, longing
that he wonld,jtiTO-jad-a-oliaMOr-
csplnin. But ho kept right cn
. " 'Under v.Ltt general, sir, may I
ask?'
' 'Under General Gordon.' By
this time I wr.s feeling mighty un
comfortable, as my southern friend
was bent on drawing mo nut.
" 'Major,' bo sid, 'I'm pretty fa
miliar with the names of all tho
loading artillery officers in tlio Con
federate (service duricg the war.
May I ask. yon, sir, bow many guns
wojo under jour commund?'
"1 nssuro you, judge, I never felt
so mad in my lifo. Hero was 1, a
man who always avoided notoriety,
who served his timo in the war and :
did his duty without ostentation, 1
who never sought a military title,
but always scared off my friends
from addressing mo by ono, and yrt,
owing to my bnugling, d d good
nnturcd friend, boing catechised by
an entire stranger upon a title l nov - -
er assumed. However, I bridled 1
"tl
up, and, looking my catcchiser full j
in tbe eye, I said:

through tho en tiro war, sir, in com
mand of ono gun, and that I carried
over my shoulder.' " rJan Francis

Bow Thraa Tonns Pool Tlayera Had Wnu
i With Dead Game Sport. '
Three young men entered tho bil-
! Hard room of a Broadway hotel the
otljier' afternoon and began to piny
pool Tbey played poorly and didn't
attract muoh attention oxectpt from
an ccensionnl man, who watched
their efforts more with pity than de
rision. They bad played a oouple of
games when one cf them said; ; i
."I ll toll you what I'll do. I'll
play a gamo of pool for $20 a cor
ner." The other two looked at niro, then
grinned a bit and accepted the chal
lenge. Each man pulled fronrhis
pocket a $20 bill and put it up. In
an instant the situntionwas changed.
The fable had become a center of
attraction. Spectators crowded
around it, and the sports in. the
plnoe came forward as old warhorses
respond to the buglo call.. Tho gamo
. began. If tho three young men had
i jjmyeu juurjjr uumrti, tuuir piajr wiia
Bim)ly hopeless now. Tho sports
'. took each of them under their wings
! in turn. When ono triod for an im-.
possible shot, although an easy ono
; lay' right under his noso, his par
tioular mentor would reason with
!him,. When ho persisted, a wail of
despair went up from tho spectators,
j whilo ono sport, with tears in hia

eyes, Uopt muttering:
"It's wicked; it's wicked; it's a
J wicked waste of money, "jnnd na a
particularly ridiculous shot was at
; tempted ho would almost sob: "Look
at 'em. OIi, why can't I got in? Vv'Iiy"
can't I got in? Look nt those twen
ties. It's wicked to seo 'cm go to
wnsto liko that. Why can't I got
in?" .
As the pnrno proceeded Uio crowd
grew larger, and (lie agony of tbe
sports bteamo truly pitiful. Finally
the gamo ended, am tho winner
pocketed tlio money, w hile tho losers
grinned. Truo cr.orting blood had
tbey. Then tho winner, n blander,"
bla:'Q looking youth, said:
"Lock hero. I don't want your
money. I ii give you a cnanco to got
u back nml lnv yoU C110llic, Camo
for $20 apieco. '
Tho others enmo to the scratch
promptly, and tho word was passed
I around tho hotel that threo would
be sports were playing pool for big
money, and that they'd l.o cnny for
, somo one. If tho f!rFt gome had
been a wrotohed cxhil.itioi:, tho sco
ond was absolutely ludicrous. Such
pool playing was never seen. Tho
pportj who had constituted them
selves admirers of tho players threw
fits and wept. Tlio fat harp who
: bad been tearful in tho first game
. moaned aloud in tburcoond. AH:ist
the gamo was brought-to -a point
whero it doponded on ono ball. "The
Bij0rt, thick young man who woto

THE. MASTERY OF PAIN.
Chloroform and tta Introduction Into1 tba
lractloa of Medtolne.'
No event or the century has effect
ed humanity so widoly and-so inti-
: mately & that crowning triumph of
medioal scienco which Bir Benjamin
Klcbariion calls the Vmasteryof
pain." .The boon of anaesthesia ex
tends far biyond the domain of steam
engine or telegraph and touches the
individual more closely than any
thing in tbe world when his hour of
suffering comes, ns it mayoometo
any of us at any moment And in the
popular view anaesthesia-..means
chloroform, whatever experts may
think of thesupdrior merits of other
substances. People know that den
tists use "gas, " and some mny havo
beard of ether or even of bichloride
of methyleno, but the household
word is chlSroform. Fifty years of
usage have givon it an unassailable
position, and if a new nnoesthetio
were to displace it tomorrow the old
name would probably remain. Yet
chloroform was not the first nnirs
thetio discovered, nor is it so muoh
used in the present day ns its less
famous predecessors. The early his
tory of this great discovery, ns of
many others, is debatable ground,
but certain facts have been clearly
established.
Tbo. first chemical rtgont found
to posso.ss the property of pro
ducing insensibility by inhalation
and used " for that purposo was
nitrous osiclo, moro familiarly
known as "laughing gns" or simply
"gas."' It is still considorod the
safest and is administered every day
to thousands of patiouts, not only
for dontaV purposed, but in conjunc
tion with other for general surgory.
To Priest loy belongs, the honor of
identifying it chemically, to Sir
Humphry Davy that of expounding
its anesthetic properties, lie found
them out by experimenting on him
self, and suggested their practical
application in thoso words:
"As nitrous osido, in itsextonsive
operation, appears capnblo of de
stroying physical pain, it may prob-
uJLtJLwAm!.-stt
surgical operations in whioli r.o
great offutiion of blood takes placa."
If any one deserves to bo culled tho
father of nna-sl hesin, it is Sir Hum-
phry Davy. Uut the surgeons ct
this day, whether from blindness,
timidity or prejudioo, appear to have
mi&scd the significance of his an
nouncement altogether, for, though
tho words just quoted woro publish
ed in the year 1800, no practical uf.o
of tho pan was attempted until 184 i,
and then tbo initintivo oauio from
America. ' .' "
In that year a Connecticut dentist
named Horace Wells submitted him
self to tho ordeul and hail n tooth
extracted under tho influence of ni
trous oxide. The next step was tbo
introduction of ether, and the credit
of this alio belongs to America. It

to bury tire facts in 'obscurity and

Tho secret was immediately detected
by Dr. Bigelow and sent over to
