Information While They Waited.
The president of the faculty of a medical college once addressed a graduating class with reference to the necessity of cultivating the quality of patience in their professional as well as in their domestic relations.
The professor said : "Gentlemen, you aro about to plunge into 'the sphere of action.' No doubt you will, in some degree, follow the example of those who have preceded .•sou. Among other things, you will doubtless many. Let me entreat you to be kind to your wives. Be patient with them. Endeavour not to fret yourselves under petty domestic trials. If you are going to the theatre do not permit yourself to become excited if your wife is not downstairs in time. Have a treatise on your specialty always with you. Read it while you are waiting. ''And I assure you, gentlemen," the professor concluded, with delicate irony, ''you'll be 'astonished at the vast fund of information you'll accumulate in this way."
