THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK IN
MEDICAL PRACTICE.
Philadelphia Medical Journal.


The ratio Of physicians to total
population in the United States is
rather more than to 800. The 120,.
900 physicians are dying at the rate of
about 25 to 1000. TO make good the
deficit of physicians by death about
1900 should be graduated annually.
The population is also increasing at
the rate Of about 100000 annually.
and this increase could accommodate
some 2000 additional graduates in
medicine annually. In 1899 according
to the statistics of the bureau of edu-
cation, all Of the medical schools of
the country graduated not quite 5000.
Thus, statistically considered, there
is very slight favorable tendency
toward the reduction of a tremendous.
ly over crowded profession.
On the other hand it should be re-
membered that as a country increases
in density of population, it can sup
port fewer physicians. The we'll
known fact that fifth or sixth of the
graduates do not practice, is little
comfort, as this has always been the
case and simply denotes the unfavor.
able conditions against which the
medical man has to contend. Thus
it is the urgent duty Of every physi-
clan, by fair argument and reasonable
means, TO create a sentiment against
the entrance of young men upon med
ical studies. unless they are especially
fitted for their pursuit.

A LITTLE HISTORY.

A writer in a recent number Of
Pearson's Magazine, speaking of the
cultivation of rice, silk and indigo in
this country, says that the culture of
silk has been attempted several times

brought over silkworm eggs that
hatched on the voyage SO that the
worms perished for want of food Sir
Nathaniel Johnson, however, at his
plantation, Silk Hope, was more sue
ceSsful in 1899. While he was Cover.
nor, few years later he realized sew
eral hundred pounds a year from this
industry. But the eggs frequently
hatched before the mulberry supplied
food, and the experiment failed finally.
The cultivation of rice was more sue

PRODUCTION The most interesting is
that while Thomas Smith was COVER
nor, 1893, a ship captain from NADIA
gascar gave him bag Of rough rice,
which he distributed among his
friends. The experiment was so sue
cesSful that today rice is one of the
staple crops of South Carolina. Indigo
had been introduced but its culture
had failed, although wild indigo grew
abundently. A second experiment
was made, about 174l, by Miss Eliza
Lucus, daughter of the governor of
Antigua, who was in Carolina on her
fathers place.

STORY OF ROBINSON CRUSOE.

Readers have formed an IDEA that
because an unwilling dweller on his
island through shipwreck, therefore
Selkirk, the Scottish sailor, on whose
marvellous adventures Defoe founded
his fascinating story, must have land
ed there through like circumstances.
The exact contrary is true. Selkirk
had been rowing about the Southern
seas aS sailing master Of one OF the
ships that set out on privateering
expedition under the famous naviga'
tor Dampier, and being dissatisfied
with his ship desired to be put ashore.
A few Others Joined him and they re.
manned on the island Of Juan Fernan-
dez for several months until their
vessel returned for them. But Sell
kinks lifelong aversion to dicipline
again manifested itself and the next
time his ship touched at Juan Fer
nandez he was put ashore by his owr
request, in 17O4. All things that
could be spared to make him comfort
able were freely given-fo0d tools
clothes, weapons and ammunition
After the expiration of four years ant
four months he was taken off b,
another privateer, the Duke ano
Duchess. His sea chest, cup, gun,
ETC., which Crusoe saved from the
wreck, created some sensation on MS
return in October, I'LL. They are

THE QUESTION OF NEGRO EDU.
CATION.
JUDGE CAMPBELL TALKS ON SOLU-
TION OF RACE PROBLEM.

JdCkS0n, MISS, July lU.-InlS morn
ing at the Millsaps Normal School,
ex.Chief Justice ]. A. P Campbell, of
the State Supreme Court and one of
Mississippi's most distinguished citi.
zens, delivered an address on the
"Only Wise Solution of the Race
Question: which has created such a
tremendous sensation.
Judge Campbell in his address took
ultra ground. In the first place he
boldly advocated the abolition of the
common school education for the
negro race, claiming that it had done
no good whatever and had been pro.
ductive of much evil. The younger
generation had imbibed just enough
smattering of learning to render them
absolutely worthless and to attract
them to the towns where they become
loafers and criminal characters dan.
gerous to the community. The i'm
mepse appropriations which are be-
ing spent every year in the Southern
States for the education of the negro,
he says are worse than wasted and
are making more dangerous prob
lem already complicated in the ex-
treme.
"There can never be harmony be.
tween the races in the South" de-
clared Judge Campbell emphatically,
until there is universal recognition
of the unknown fact in nature that
the Caucasian is the superior of the
negro race and will insist on its nat
ural precedence and the authority
which such superiority gives within
reasonable bounds. Common school
education for the negro causes him to
forget this fact and leads to danger.
Gus desires and aspirations for social
equality on his part which can never
possibly be realized. He becomes dis
contented, dangerous. sullen and in.
tractable, losing his sole claim to
consideration, which is, that ordi-
narily he is a good worker.
"TO refuse to make this common
school appropriation for negro educa.
tion would require change in our
State constitution, but ] am con.
vinced would not be obnoxious to any
provision of the Federal Constitution.
Intact, the United States Supreme
Court has expressly decided that edu-
cation is a gratuity and not a matter
of right to be demanded equally by
the races.
"But since there seems to be an
opinion in many quarters that we
owe the negroes an education, l would
be in favor of selecting a number of
the best specimens of the race and
educating them well at the expense
of the State, as the government 'edu-

then be turned loose as missionaries
among their race. They would be
proud Of their superior position, su-
pcrior education and grateful to the
State whicl, thus set them above
their race, and would therefore be fit
leaders and advisers for the race.
The same principle Of fealty which
causes a West Pointer to adhere tc
the government would cause these
men set apart for this special purpose
to stand up for the best interest Of
the State and to give their race the
wise counsel which their superior ed

THE hair of dog is good for his
bite" is an ancient saying which has
long been believed to have no founda-
ti0n in sense or reason. American Med
icine quotes the following from a
traveller in India. 1t is narrated as
follows: About three months ago a
mad dog bit six or seven persons,
among whom were two of my porters.
| ordered bits of iron to be heated
white-hot for cauterizing the wounds,
but the natives said tn me with a
laugh, 'Oh. Sahib, that is nothing; we
have an excellent remedy for hydro
phobia; you shall see.' The mad dog
approached again: one of the natives
took a club and killed the animal
Another opened it's body. took from
it the palpitating liver. cut into small
bits and gave them to wounded men,
who ate them raw. There is no more
danger they said to me. AS | remain
ed incredulous they brought me to a
young man who bore large scars on
his leg. He had been bitten five years
before by a mad dog. but had eaten a
raw piece of the animals liver, and
had felt no i'll effects. These events
took place in March, and it Is now
July 3. The wounds are cured. and
all the men continue to do well. Our
natives even assert that their remedy
will cure man after he has been at
tackled by the disease"

WIPING OUT THE FIVE TRIBES.

Chicago Record Herald.
The end of the redskin, so far as he
is officially concerned with the United
States government, is in sight. With
in two years the Indians of the Five
Civilized Tribes in the Indian Ter
ritory will be stripped of their identi-
ty as a people and they will either
have to become citizens of the United
States or leave it,
We have been so busy thinking
about the Filipino, the Porto Rican
and the Cuban that we have lost sight
of what has been termed "the greatest
human tragedy of the end of the
century" Years ago, when no one
ever dreamed that the West was to
be populated and become the richest
portion of our domain, treaty was
made with the Cherokees, Creeks,
Choctaws, Chicasaws and Seminoles,
by which 20,000,000 acres of land
known as Indian Territory were set
apart for their reservation and to be
theirs so long as an Indian lived. 10
save the Indians and their invested
funds the government has determined
to break the treaty, to abolish their
tribal government and councils and
divide their lands into small tracts.
That the reconstruction of the In.
dian Territory is absolutely necessary
to save the Indian lands from the ra-
pacity Of the whites and half-breeds
is the belief of W. r. Draper, who
writes Of this greatest Of human
tragedies" in the current number of
The Outlook. A few years ago Con-
gress found by extended investigation
that the territory was the harboring
place of outlaws, that white men who
had married Indian women held
thousands of acres of the finest land
while the full bUoded Indian was
living back in the woods and getting
barely enough to sustain life. The
whites and treacherous half.breeds
were gradually grabbing all the ter,
ritory. Congress therefore decided
that it would be better to break faith
with them and save them the rem.
nants of their invested funds.
The work of winding up the affairs
of the Five tribes is now being carried
out under the Curtis act, which was
passed by Congress in June, 1898.
Town sites are being laid out and the
Indians are being enrolled for their
allotments of land. When these so,
900 Indians receive their deeds in fee
simple for their allotments of land
there will be open for settlement
what Mr.. Draper calls "veritable
paradise for white people" So anx-
ious are the Indians to get rid of the
land that many of them sell their
Certificates of selection" which be.
come bills Of sale to the land.
AS soon as the work OF this COM
mission is completed and the Indians
have received their alotments, the
land will gradually pass into the
possession of the all-conQuering An
glo.Saxon race and the Five Tribes
will pass out of existence forever.
