One Hundred Millions a YearI

SEVENTH FOUR thousand doctors Think
of it. All this number in our country, ac-
cording to the present census, unless the
newspapers inform us falsely. In 1850
there were fifty-five thousand-an increase
of 10000 in ten years, or nearly two thou
sand year!
Ought not these figures to "give us
pause?" Reflect moment what an army
they would make, even in this day of big
armies; or what city they would form,
larger than any in many of the Oldest
States.
Or, look at it again from another point
of view. What a mint of money it takes
to support this armyl Probably we are
within the mark when we calculate that
the average income of the 1900 from prac-
tice is a thousand dollars a year each.
This makes $74,00n,t 90 year, which the
sick pay for medical advice. For their
medicines it is safe to say they pay the odd
$26000,000 which remains to make up
| $1,000 900 a year, as what sickness costs
the American people. And in this calcu.
lation we have left altogether out of ac-
count the tons and hogsheads of quack
medicines which this misguided people
pour down their throats. We can safely
estimate that at $25 5,0O0. 900 year more.
Let the people study these figures
awhile, and then reflect that probably one
half, or certainly large fraction of this
expense, is incurred by deliberate it,
| fraction of the laws of health; that if they
| tippled less, smoked less, over worked
less, were less given to debauchery, ate
| slower, were less fast" and less self-in-
dulgent, they would save some thirty or
| forty millions year.
Making money is, in America, the "chief
| end of man" aud plenty of advisers are
| ready with their wise saws how it can be
| accomplished. We are one of them, and
| offer saw quite as true, and less trite than
| any of them, and it is this-keep healthy.
Living IN the midst of commercial mart,
and in the thick of the desperate conflict
| for wealth, We have seen many a hero in
the fight lose all for want of health lose
it, perhaps, just at the moment when a
month or two more of work would have
made fortune.

his son, the famous Cesar Borgia, had ev,

power and make himself master of Italy
that he had every possible contingency

physical inability to take advantage of the
crisis. But sickened to threatening illness,
! by the same poisoned wine which killed
his father, he lost his chance and died de-
feated, an exile and captive. 1t were

FOREIGN.

Cable dispatches of the 10th give infor-
nation of serious disturbances in Paris,
threatening revolution and anarchy.
President Theirs had issued a proclamation
appealing to the reason and patriotism of
the citizens to preserve order, and stating
that, if necessary, force would be used
against the insurgents at Montmartre. Un-
successful attempts were subsequently
made to dislodge the malcontents at that
point. Many of the government troops fra
ternized with the insurgents, who cap
tured two general officers-Generals lie
Comte and Clement Thomas-and, after a
brief trial, condemned them to death and
shot them. The Paris Journal des Ds6dts
of the 10th says: yesterday will be con-
sidered as one of the gloomiest hours in
the history of France. Revolution, under
the banner Of pillage is mistress of Paris.

damage to the Republic than all the Bona.

KING JAMES ON LONG 1SLAND.-A species
of civil war has broken out at Hunters
of the insistance of School Commissioners
to have the school exercises commenced by
the reading of some passages from King
James Bible. If the majority of the
School Commissioners were Catholics, and
required the school day to begin with the
reading of chapters from the Douay Bible,
with note and comment, it is probable that
the Protestant parents aud children at
Hunters Point would complain, would re-
fuse, would even raise rows in the school,
houses. Now we really cannot see why q
Papist majority in any locality should not
| require the reading of the Douay Bible,
under penalties, aud why Protestant ma
jority should require the reading of King
James publication; the people being in
Discriminatory liable to the school tax, and
one sect having as much right to see
it's principles respected as the other. A
certain degree of violence has unfortunate
ly grown out of this affair at Hunters
Point. A little girl hamed Katy Dennan
very properly objected with loud outcry,
when the teacher began to recite through
his nose a portion of King James, without
note or comment. An attempt was made
to eject Katy, when three big brothers in-
terposed and threatened to thrash the
teacher. Police were called in and the
young men were arrested. Pending their
examination, which has been set for Mon
day, the Recorder having been absent on
Saturday, the culprits were released on
bail. The affair has created most intense
excitement in Hunters Point, but is con
fined strictly to that locality. The Board
of Education met on Friday evening and
80 far modified the rule as to permit the
school in question at its option to read
either, the Lords Prayer or the Ten Com
mandments. 1t won't do. We exhort the
Catholic young people, and their parents,
not to tolerate the reading of one word of
King James, and not to sanction that thing
by their presence at all. Not that we
counsel violence or disturbance by any
MEANS. The Catholic clergy of that, neigh
borhood have earnestly dissuaded the peo-
pie of their flocks from all kinds of illegal
or forcible protest and in fact this would
be of no use. The Biblicals have the law
of them for the present; but what they can
do is to stay reli1iouSly away from such re-
ligious exercises, and to establish schools as
they best can TOT themselves. They are
used TO housekeeping up~the Protestant
schools and churches, and their own too.
AT all events, they have for the present no
other redress whatsoever. Perhaps in time
the fair-minded people of this country may
come to the conclusion that it is wisest to
let peoples religion alone. - NNiO York

GRAND MASS ON THE EMPRESS EUGENIE's
FETE DAY PROHIBITED BY THE GOVERN
MENT OF NJ. THIERs.-The London Register
says that the Grand Mass which had been
bespoken by the Bonapartists at the Made
leine to celebrate the Empress Eugenie's
fete day on Tuesday, November 14th, did
not come off. Not only was the church
closed by order of the police, but the clergy
themselves, knowing that q political de-
monstration was intended, declined to
celebrate the Mass. About 500 people, led
by the ex- Ministers NJ. Behic and M. Duruy
and NJ. Dreolle, the ex-Imperialist journal
ist and deputy, hung about the doors for
several hours. The leaders ultimately
canvassed for signatures to II paper stating
that they had assembled to pray to Heaven
for the Imperial family on the occasion OF
the Sainte Eugenie. The troops were kept
under arms in their barracks ready for any
turn which affairs might take.

them by. They would be weak points in
the organization They would destroy the
grand solidity which Catholic Union now
needs. Catholics separated from God, can
never be really, thoroughly, united with
those who are, by grace united to God. In
the Union, therefore, there should be nc
