Another thing that must hurt the doo tors' trade hero is the passing of the fam ily physician. Specialists abound in Now York, but family physicians are fast dis appearing and promise presently to be as rare as hairy elephants. When you have a family physician and like him, you call him in whenever there is anything the matter, and even if there is not much for him to do you have the fun of advising With him and being reassured. But when you go to one wise man for croup, to an other for gout, to another for dyspepsia, to another for headache and to half a dozen others for ailments too intimate to be set down it's a different matter. You don’t go to a specialist until you are sure there is something the matter. You have to wait until the symptoms get some develop ment before you know which specialist to go to, and often enough, while you are waiting to find but, the whole disease peters out and mends itself. In old times in New York when there were family phy sicians, when you suspected you were go ing to bo ill, but were not sure, the family physician got the benefit of the doubt, but the specialist does not. Every one who has had experience knows that that is true. To call in a familiar friend is one thing; to call in a distinguished but unfamiliar gentleman is another. The things that cause us most anxiety are things that nev er happen. The illnesses that brought physicians a large part—perhaps the most —of their pecuniary reward were illnesses that didn’t really materialize. The family physician got tho benefit of the vis medi catrix naturte. He got there in time to stand by and see it work. It was his friend and ally. The specialist benefits by it in less measure, for he is loss promptly summoned, and it is liable to finish up the job before he gets there. The London Lancet has lately expressed Its regret at the signs of the waning pres tige and Influence of the medical profes sion. That looks us if the embarrassments that beset physicians in Now York were operative in London also. There seems to be some reason to anticipate a time when New York families will contract with a syndicate of physicians—comprising a com plete set of the necessary specialists—for the supervision of the family health at a fixed annual price.—Harper’s Weekly. Old Corts In Pennsylvania. Pioneers of Pennsylvania who went be yond the limits of the country when peace was established by William Penn’s treaties with the Indians and undertook the cul tivation of fertile lands in other parts ot tho state found it necessary to have in every community some substantial place of refuge in time ot attack by hostile sav ages. Wherever there was a settlement of white mon there was a fort or blockhouse, usually built of heavy planks and stout logs, and in most cases Inclosing a spring and one or more houses. Over 200 such primitive forts were built in Pennsylvania prior to tho year 1783. Some of them, besides furnishing shelter for the settlers from attack by the Indians, were used at times by the provincial sol diers. The names of a few are recorded in history, but most of them had only local fame and long ago passed almost com pletely out of memory. Few traces of any of them remain, and all means of identi fying their locations and tho part each played In tho early history nia might soon have been lost but for the thoughtfulness of some member of the leg islature of 1893, who secured the passage of an act requiring tho governor to ap point a commission to make an inquiry Into the location and history of these forts and report upon the advisability of mark ing the site of each with a suitable tablet or monument. This commission was appointed by Gov ernor Pattison and did its laborious work well. The state was divided into five sec tions, each of which was assigned to one member of tho commission, and the com bined reports of the commissioners are published in two handsome volumes, en titled “Frontier Forts of Pennsylvania,” a valuable addition to the historical ar chives of the state. Tho descriptions of the two hundred odd forts aro necessarily brief, but the main facts in regard to each are plainly given. Nothing as yet has been done toward tho erection of the tablets suggested by the act of 1893, but in some instances this im portant work is receiving the attention of the Society of the Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution.—Buffalo Commercial. Children and Slang. Slang is objectionable, says tho Cincin nati Commercial Tribune, but if it ever falls from the lips of children there is an air of added quaintness that makes it all but excusable. The children acquire it at the public schools, and so prevalent is it that every parent is called upon almost a half dozen times a day to correct some of the youngsters for the bad habit uncon sciously acquired. A few days ago a mother of an interest ing family living on Walnut HUls was berating the woman who originated stylos. ' “I just wish I had her In my hands for a few minutes and she would be sorry she was born. ” “What’d you do to her, mamma?” said tho firstborn. “Would you soak her in the eye?” In the same family two of the boys were engaged in one of the customary squab bles that boys are prone to engage in. The younger as usual got the worst of tho argument, and in self defense was com pelled to resort to street slang. “You needn’t be so smart,” he said. “You’re not so many. Go count yoursdf.” Educate Tour Bowels With Cascarets. Candy Cathartic, cure constipation forever, vc. 85c. If C. C. C. fail, druggists refund money.
