I i Altogether it must be admitted that the medical man. `inadequate as his earn-e ings may be. is much more fortunate than the clergyman. The latter. it is true, gets his rent free. with occasional yearlydonatious of potatoes, hay. our : and. the like, but his living expenses must be within the limits of an income scarce- ly equal to that of an average mechanic ~ with regular daily employment. It is somewhat of a surprise to` learn, that a rst class clergyman in a country averages only from $500 to $800 as '-yearly salary. while those in the large cities are not enough above those gures to make up the relative di"erences in in- acidental expenses of living. The latter. . amounts are said to range from $1,000 to $1.200 yearly. Certainly the average doctor_m_ust `do much better than this; otherwise he must either run in debt or_ look torsome other occupation. If the . doctor in practice must make any living at all, he is bound to calculate on a sum one-thirds more and perhaps double that A which the preacher can get. We are now speaking of the average man in both pro-' tssions, it being well known that spe- cial skill and recognized ability in either calling always command proportionately increased remuneration`.-- Medical Rec- ord. `m3;,;_uuu|I.y Uclu IllUl.'I.' useluuy engng. ` i~Later'on the ends, got to be tied in a \A;j*.yyt.yanld later still they became vuseless. {the bow has remained and will proba- ly,_T"ret13'ain till the next deluge or some- ago: that sort.

Ned Plunket, a well known `gure about the streets of Belle E'wsrt,- was committed to the House on Tuesday by Reeve Webb, of Iunisl. `He is 86 tests of - age, and has lived in Belle Ewart. 48 years. His case was laid be fore the township council while in ses- sion at Craigvale. on Monday, and it was thought advisable to commit him to the `House of Refuge. Plunket is very active considering -his years and !-'members' the building of the old Emily May, which used t,o'ply on the waters of Lake Simooe.

Dropsy Is supposed to have caused hisdeath. Mr. Ross wired MtQuaig s friends in Uro `on Sunday afternoon, and on Tuesday instructions were sent to have the remains forward- ed to Oro for interment. d Jno. Mcuskill, an old resident of Medonce township,` was committed to the House on Friday-, January bib, 1900. .He is a cabinet maker, and is in his 68th year.
