and surrounding country and 3 III trede-
riksted. AT present there are only five
authorised practitioners in the island, and
the question arises, how is this great
difference to be accounted for To an.
aWer this properly would require a
detailed Investigation Of several cOndi.
lions through the intervening years.
We suppose, however, that such an inves
tigation would prove that one OF the chief
factors in the difference is to be found in the
abolition ofslaveIy. When the estates were
worked by slaves TO money was paid to
the workers, Yet it is exceedingly doubtful
whether the work did not cost as much or
even more than now. The money was spent
on the slaves III other ways, and one OF
these no doubt was the atIUrding OF proper
medical attendance. It WOnld be found,
we suspect, that the diminution in the
medical staff of the island commenced
iust after the emancipation in 1913
and went on Very rapidly from that
date. Another cause must be looked for
ia the gradually diminishing price OF pro
lUce, which made it necessary to r duce
one expenditure after another, and at the
same time led to the general impOverlsh-
ment eff the whole people. A third cause
may be found in the greatly diminished
population OF the island.
In these altered conditions would proba-
bly, be found an explanation of a striking
fact. and, ii 50, the number of physicians III
those days furnishes no guide as to what it
ought to he now. For this We should
look TO the present condition OF things IN
the surrounding islands, situated, on the
whole, much as we are. II it we're tOnnd
that they, in proportion to their population,
had a larger medical staff than ours, this
would be a good argument for increasing
oar staff. OF course the difficult question
of how the extra men required were to be
paid or induced to come here, would still
await solution.

A HEN browns A RAT.-Mr. Sterling
is the possessor of a remarkable hen, and
relates the following incident in the life
OF that sagacious fowl: She brought up
a brood of chickens recently, which event
created considerable excitement and fes-
tiyity in colony of rats, which at once
commenced system of plumber, con-
tenting themselves with a chick and
half for dinner daily. The hen stood
this massacre of innocents for day or
two. but one morning as a sleek rat,
grown insolent from living high on the
toothsome chicks. skulked along in the
neighborbood Of chicken which was
trifing carelessly with crust of bread.
the wrath Of the mother was aroused.
She flew at the rat, bounced on him,
caught him by the back, and carrying
the robber to q tubfull Of water, dropped
him into it with revengeful "cluck."
The rat was drowned, and the brood has
since been free from the raids of the
surviving rodents.-4San Francisco Post.

YOUNG MEN.
Stock Breeding a Potent Influence to Keep
Them the Farm.

Stock Breeding Potent Influence to Keep
Them on the Farm.
The farm devoted exclusively to
grain-raising, affords only as regards
money-making, and not in any other
way an entertaining pursuit. To keep
upon the farm ambitious young men,
better fitted by education than former
ly Tor entering other pursuits, some
thing more attractive than hold nc the
pillow, hoeing weeds, and binding after
the reaper must be furnished to them.
1t can be said of many young men, we
are well aware, that they have no taste
or liking for live stock, and regarding
these, it is useless to expect they will
meet with success in such Il pursuit.
But, the surroundings, the convent
ences, and the character OF the stock to
be handled has more to do with keeping
the young men on the farm, or, on the
other hand, making it distasteful for
them, than most farmers OF the old
school are willing to admit. We well
know that many young men are. born
with an especial fondness for domestic
animals, and this follows them through
life. This is as much an inherited trait
as is the desire for music, OF for fine
apparel. Yet these depend greatly
upon the direction which the taste of
the young man is invited to take the
Incentives held out, and cultivation
given. This applies to nothing more
truly than the fancy for domestic ami
mails; and this taste cannot be expected
to take deep hold on the young man,
if only scrub stock be held out a. the
inducement. 1t would be little to his
credit, and reflect little credit upon the
opportunities that are presumed to
have been spread before HIM from day
to day, if in these days of advance
ment in all the leading pursuits, he
took no note Of these opportunities,
but loitered behind like drone. Bows,
and even the young men who have
ceased to be boys, as the term goes, can
not be expected to reason from the
staid standpoint of older heads. On
the other hand, after he has learned of
the attractiveness and the alluring in
fuences to be found in a life in the
cities, the young man of average ambi-
ton and brightness will require the in
centives that are held out upon the
better class of breeding establishments
throughout the country, or at least a
respectable approach to tbis.-N0-

One Good Effect.

The good effect ola change of
administration is already visible
in the agricultural bureau. The
New York Evening Post says
"this branch of the government has
been pretty uniformly misInanaged
since the days of the commissioners
we believe it was in LincOln's
time-who compiacently announced
in his annual report that "the ex-
penditures had exceeded his most
sanguine anticipations." DIR. Lo.
ring, who has been the figurehead
of the bureau for the last four
years, apparently might have made
a similar confession, for his sue.
cessor finds everything at loose
ends, with much evidence of more
serious irregularities than mere
rccklessness and extravaganza on
the part of those officials whom the
late commissioner allowed full
SWING. For example, Mr.. Colman
finds that all but s32 of the appro.
priatiOn ofslOO,OOO for the seed
division during the fiscal year ell
ding June 3Oth, was gone by the
LIST of May, and that hundreds of
bushels Of sorghum seed are re.
ported as having been bought mt
prices from $3.50 TO ~ % n bushel
at the very time when the same
seed sold for % cents a bushel in
Nebraska. 1t may be doubted
