sof Young physicians, which comes to
maturity about this time of year, has
saroused the curious statistician to do
some figuring on their prospects. He
says, notes the New Orleans Picayune,
that there are educated in this country
about twice as many clergymen as
lawyers, and about twice as many
physicians as clergymen, which makes
about four physicians to every lawyer.
The United States has more physicians
to the population than any other coun.
try. In 1880 there was physician to
every 600 inhabitants, whereas in
England there was one physician to
every 1000, in France one TO every
1900 and in Germany one to $500. In
certain parts of the United States the
doctors were even more plentiful than
the ratio for the whole country indi-

and in smaller places in the State one
to 26O. In 1878 the entire number
OF medical students in this country was
i 1888 Including dental, pharmaceuti-
Qcal and veterinary, and tho total is
n0Y supposed to be about 10000. On
thq basis of this rapid increase, it is
sB to say that the circle of the aver
mge physicians patients is closing in on
him every year, and if he is improving
their health steadily, the outlook for
him is anything but cheerful.

- The late Doctor Agnew, of Phila-

were almost unknown among the
Quakeresses whom he attended, and he
ascribed it to the fact that the Quaker

He might have gone further and added
that the Quaker women have come
nearer than any others of their sex to
discovering the perpetual bloom of

clear eyes, and erect figures. The
peace and health of their spirits seem
to conform face and figure.

wanted-A Buffalo Farm.

WASHINGTON, ID. C.-Secretary Morton
has received q communication from the
President of the Nebraska City National
Bank, Col. w. L. Wilson, earnestly in
viting his attention to the desirabity Of
experimenting in the perpetuation of
that almost extint animal-the buffalo
in the Aleutian Islands, or Alaska, and
inviting him to consider tho propriety Of
purchasing a herd now controlled by the
bank as agent for the use of the depart
ment for this purpose. The Secretary has
written Col. Wilson, treating his PROPOSE
tion in numerous way.
"The fact is" said Mr.. Morton, "the
suggestion was originally made to Col.
Wilson by mutual friend, Mr.. Morrison,
who is u bit of wag, and who has pro.
posed this thing rs sad joke. But Col
Wilson has taken his proposition in all
seriousness, and actually believes that
will carefully consider the propriety Of
undertaking, as Secretary of Agriculture,
to make an experimental buffalo. farm in
Alaska or the Aleutian Islands. The bank
came into possession of these animals
through the settlement Of d jdccedent's s
estate, and I have no doubt that viewed
solely as assets, they are stock which it
will lie hard to water. But xil to see
any reason why Uncle Sam should pay

have not kept the promise made by
their predecessors to assign land to
