IN England the proper ratio of doctor to population is said to be one to 1,2OO, but by this rule there are 1,943 too many doctors in London, and while 600 die every year, 1,800 new ones are turned out. Competition is so great that in some parts of the city doctors will see patient, prescribe, and supply medicine for sixpence visit.

PILGRIMS REsr' is the name of a church in Fulton, Mo. With such a soothing appellation how it jars upon ones esthetic sense to learn that the preacher thought it best to jump out of the second story window Sunday eve ming and that the elders of the church crawled under the stoves and hid be- hind the wood-box. Jackson Emerson came up to look for his wife and sent a bullet clean through her head.

THE law to punish the importers of contract labor seems to be working quite curiously. The first victim was an Episcopal minister, and the second is milliner of the gentler sex. A New York house which makes esthetic dresses made contract with Parisian woman learned in all the ways of Worth and the great costumers of the Old World agreeing to pay her $1Oo month. The minister has been detected in his law less practices and will have to answer for his crimes. The men folks, who are never on good terms with milliners, have no objection to the return of this Parisian to her native land, but the wo- men of New York intend to throw what influence they have against the law. They see in it scheme to rob them of Parisian dresses made at low rates. It is little odd, though, that railway or mining company can import hundreds of Hungarians or Italians without being brought to judgment, while the i'm portation of one minister or milliner is so quickly detected and severly pun ished.

A REGENT writer in one of the maga- zines, who employs technical words and pedantic phrases to an extraordinary degree, and indulges in speculative req soning of the most airy kind, applies himself to the discussion of the inter- rogatory, "Is Nature Alive?' To man of ordinary sense, the question does not seem to be an open one at all, but this writer nevertheless gets very much e1- cited over it, and to little understand able purpose. If nature is not alive, then of course it must be dead; and if any evidence is needed to prove that it is not dead, the doubter could readily be convinced by confronting tempest at sea, a cyclone on the prairies, an earthquake, midwinter blizzard, or even flower garden in June.

SEVERAL months ago the mother of Emma Felch, of Danvers, Mass, died from cancer. The daughter soon after ward fell ill, and declared that she, too, had cancer. The physician could find no symptoms to warrant her belief, but the girl insisted that she was right, and located the cancer. She refused food saying that it distressed her, and, after 0 lingering illness, died. An autopsy showed that she had no cancer, that the doctor was right, and that the disease was purely sympathetic.
