The mcdicativc leech is now practi-

off in the demcnd for leechcs by the
medical profession is quite astonishing,
as may be judged from the fact that in
the year 1915 the two largest hospitals
in London called for about so, 600 of
them. whmcas now these institutions
order only 90 on 100 leechcs at irregular
and infoquopt intervals.

importers that the trade in leechcs has
been subject TO such fierce competition
that the price has been brought down

more than half what the great hospitals
paid for their enormous leech supplies
in 1915.
AT that time the importation Of
locchcs was carried on by means Of sail
ing boats plying to and from smyrna;
but owing TO the difficulties of transfer
and the irregular arrival of the boats,
many attempts were madc TO conserve

DENSITY OF POPULATION.
Tie Most Thiclsly Peopied Spot In the
World Is In New York City.

Tlie Most Thiclly Peopled Spot In the
World Is In New York City.
In The Century is a paper by Mrs
schuyler Van Rensselaer, on Places In
New York. " in the course of which the
author says: Cross the Bowery now, and
you viii enter the famous Tenth ward
n true tenement house district, forming
part Of the most crowded city quarter
in all the world AS a whole, the city
Of New York below the Harlem river
(the Island of Manhattan) is more dense
ly peopled than any other city in the
world, counting 1892 persons TO the
acre. while Paris counts 125.2. Then
one-sixth of the entire population of all
New York, reckoning now with the
Dsrts above the Harlem too, is concen-
trated upon III acres of ground. Here,
on the lower cast side OF our town, in
the summer of 1894, there dwelt some
324 600 souls. averaging 476.6 to the
acne. and a certain section of this great
area, the Tenth ward, showed a local
acre average Of 626. 26. The most thickly
peol,led spot in Europe is the jew quar-
ter in Prague, but it is only one-hfth as
large as our Tenth ward, while it shows
density scarcely greater than that of
the whole of the I'll acres in which the
Tenth ward is containod-AS5.4 per
acre
Nor is this the worst that our I'll
acres can reveal. Sanitary district A of
the Eleventh ward, bounded by Avenue
b and Second street, Columbia, Riving-
ton and Clinton streets, contains 81
acres, and IN tho summer of 1894 each
of them bore 9S6. human beings This
is the very thiclcst blacsest coagula-
tion of humanity in all the known
world No European place of anything
like the Same size even approaches il,
and its nearest rival is a part of Bombay
where the average population over an
! area of 46. 06 acres is 759. &C.
Yet it should be remembered thut
While our acres are thus more heavily
burdened than any others, places can b.
found in European as in Asanc town
where people are moro unoomfortabl,

Time Honorcd Notions of Oldcn Days
Which Don't stand the Test.
We all want to consider tho days Of
chivalry as the golden days-nover TO
be rocallcd-for womanlind. This is by
implication o rank injustice 70 our own
time
With all its fine expressions of ardent
devotion to the fair sex and the multi
tude Of its exquisite pretonsions. chival-
ry was the degradation of the highest
and tendorcst human instincls-the vcr-
table curse of tho course of true love.
Such a statement presents itself TO the
romantic believer as terrible counter
blast, but it is true, nevertheless. Tho
records of the treasury and the law
courts of those days, in furnishing the
experience of popular life deeply marked
by the worst shades Of modern short
comings, provide the fullest proof
Chivalry did not mako marriages, at
least i'm the sense of those born of loves

sexual affections and sold its victims
with ruthless indifference TO oil mutu-
atty
There were not two parties TO its bar
gains There was only one, who was al-
ways the third Of the group and the one
interested not in satisfying the yealn-
ings of the impassioncd, but in.a pCcun-
iary sense of their value Ele was the
vcndcr and might be either king or
baron But whichever he was hc was

The matrimonial transactions of chiv-
airy were mcrccnmy. no them there
were no 'coitracting parties" in the
shape of Whispering lovers, ardent
swains and COY maidens On the other
hand, there was but sullen indifference
or hating compliance, ChivalIy canted
about it's faith in women and the purity
of its own motives, because it could not
sing of love. 1t may be said that it 70
