Prof. Bergmann, the German special- lst, has been summoned to Constanti- - inople to the Sultan‘s daughter, who :5 lsuffering from appendicitis. This is one ' more illustration of the desperate and costly measures adopted in the case of lscrious illness. ' ’ In England doctors rarely make ex- fhorbitant charges for going any long 'distance to see their patients. Five dolâ€" Ilars a mile is supposed to be a fair ,average charge, with an ordinary fee fat the end of it; and several well-known surgeons are content to visit cases 100 :miles away. on a line with reasonably fast and regular trains. for $200 and their ordinary fee. , It is quite possible to combine several cases in a district. Sir Frederick Treves ‘used to. send cases to \X'estgate, and pay an occasional combined visit to them, and at maces like Eastbourne and Tor- quay every consulting physician has several patients who welcome a visit. Specialists of world-wide fame. like Prof. Pagenstecker. the German oculist, lose such large sums by two days‘ ab- .every symptom and change being care- more. Dr. Pagensteckcr has more than lonce received a fee of $4,000 for going to England. I ’ French surgeons dislike leaving Paris, and charge exorbitantly for doing so. A famous living surgeon recently charged $4,000 for going from Paris to Piarritz (a ten hours' journey) to per- form a long, but simple. operation: and a well-known Paris ladies’ doctor re- fused an offer of the same fee to go to Nice. An American woman who be- came suddenly ill at Cherbourg, and was visited twice a week for a month by a Paris surgeon. was horrified to re- ceive a bill for 9320.000. On one occasion, when the late Cecil Rhodes was ill in South Africa. an Eng- lish doctor “treated” him by cable. Every symptom and change being care- ‘ fully telegraphed to London, and in- structions sent back. ___..._¢_.__..__ STAMP \VORTH $7,250. Lay for Years Unappreciated in a Pri- vate Collection. The greatest international philatelic exhibition ever hold was opened the other day in the hall of the Royal Hor- tic tural Society, Vincent Square, West- mi ter, London. The stamps shown are valued at over $2,500,000, and have been insured for $1,000,000. u The Prince of Wales, who was pre- sent in the early part of the first day, has lent many interesting stamps to the exhibition, among them the famous blue “Mauritius,” the most valuable single stamp in the exhibition. T_his stamp, has a romantic history. For years it lay unnoticed in a collection .made by a Hampstead gentleman in‘ ;his school days. ’ One day he happ icollection to a visit )the “Mauritius” wa :vised him to sell it. The first offer was $25, but the lucky owner held on to his treasure. and even- tually entrusted it to Messrs.‘ Puttick and Simpson, from whom it was Bought two years ago by the Prince of \Nalcs for $7,250. The Prince also exhibits his famous Hong Kong and Trinidad specimens. Henry J. Crocker’s exhibits, includ- ing his celebrated Hawaiians, are worth til-5.000. He was persuaded against. his will to send them to England, one week before the earthquake occurred at Sah Francisco. Had he not done so, his celebrated Hawaiians would in all pro. bability have been destroyed. . Young Prince Edward has a miscel- laneous collection in the juvenile qec. gtion. , . i 7 r . EGGS FOR CHILDREN. An Austrian physician has called at- tention to the value of uncooked eggs las food for growing children. Of all the 'substances found in the animal organ tiSlD, albumen seems to be the one most )directly concerned with the phenomena Its value ias a food. is correspondingly great, and is not. sufficiently appreciated. In the .artificial feeding of children this should ;be borne in mind. The white of the raw ‘egg is the most available form in which ,we can find albumen, and it should be .used in 'the preparation of most of the .foods for children. After the usual .nursing period it is well to add raw eggs to the milk regularly taken by the child. .Free albumen is one of the most easily- ,digested substances. and is rapidly made guse of by the muscle cells. It is a val- .‘uable food for adults as well as for in- lfanls. and should be freely given in all debilitated conditions, whether from dis- ease, exhaustion, or old age. .-â€"â€"-¢< Friend (to Dobson. lately married): (“I don‘t see any change about you since ‘you were married.” Dohson (turning d to show his aluable, and ad- :his pockets inside out): “There isn’t any lto see, my boy." who told him: RE‘VARD will be paid to any person who proves that Sunlight Soap contains any injurious chemicals or any form of adulteration. is better than other soaps, but~is best when used in the sunlight way.

BEWARE OF OVER-EXERCISE. It is probable that more harm is done by overâ€"exercise than by taking too little. The man who over-develops his muscles in order to pose as a strong man suffers for his rashness in after years. Exercise to exhaustion should never be indulged in. Those footballers. cyclists, and barriers who regularly play or ride so furiously, or run so im- moderately that they frequently find themselves in a state of collapse imme- diately after enjoying their favorite sport, are doing themselves consider- ably more harm than good. Tepid or moderately warm bathing is recommended by most doctors. as the cold bath extracts more heat from the body than the nervous person can spare. Sea bathing has a favorable influence. Clothing should be as light as possi- ble. Tight boots, corsets, belts. and garters must be carefully avoided. Nine, or even ten, hours of sleep may’ be advantageously taken. Use of tobacco is Smoking certainly impairs the nervous system. as steeple jacks and telephone “linemen” testify. Persons of very nervous merit should cultivate the habit of work- ing Slowly. eating slowly. talking slowly. thinking slowly â€" in short, living slowly. Nervous persons let the fire of their vitality burn too quickly. which is the frequent cause of nervous break-down. Care should be taken that there are regular hours for meals, exer- cise and sleep.

There is a scientific explanation of the fact that illnesses. at least, can be fore- told in dreams. The theory is that when a man is dreaming his mind is more sensitive than in his waking hours, for the simple reason that his actual sur- roundings are not engaging any of the mind’s attention. Thus it happens that when some disease has set in. the man awake does not feel it in its earliest stages. although the active mind in a sleeping body does feel it. The sleeper dreams. let us say. that he is suffering some complaint of the leg. and two or three days later, the disease having de- veloped. he finds that. he really has got a bad attack of rheumatism. llarvcy. who discovered the circulation of the blood. records having bad a dream in which a bee stung him in his left. thigh. on a place where a couple of days later appeared an ugly ulcer.

A better cough remedy than any you can buy. and which has proved efllca- cious in a very obstinate cough following the grippe. is made in this way: Dis- solve in alcohol as much pure spruce gum as it will cut, and add half as much glycerine as alcohol. A few drops of this on a cube of sugar will loosen the cough as if by magic, and the treatment followed up several times a day will re- lieve the soreness of the air passages, eventually healing them, and so curing the cough.
