FEWER DOCTORS NEEDED.
Large Surplus Of Medical Men sBeinE
Turned Out by Colleges
Every Year.

The other day at the convention Of
the American Medical association, in
New Orleans, where some 1000 or 900
physicians and attendants were gath
cred, DIR. Billings drew attention to the
decided oversupply Of medical men in
the United States. He attributed the
surplus to the fact that the medical
colleges are graduating annually from
10000 to 1880 physicians, when the
actual needs of the country call for
only about $500. If DR.. Billings is cor

from the girls.
Poor Katherine! Where was all her

hateful things on the car? And why,
oh, why, had she mentioned Strange?
Any other name would have done just
as well-much better, itseemed now.
She wanted to sink through the. floor

anything but reach the club safely.
What was she to do? Those girls
would exact an introduction if they

would leave them, pretending she

FACTS ABOUT CUBA.
Only Three Per Cent. of Area of Is
land and Only Ten Per Cent. Of
Farms Under Guilty. atiOn.

From a recent bulletin issued by
the United States geological survel.
entitled, "a Gazetteer of Cuba,' COM
piled by Henry Gannett, geographer,
the following suggestive facts regard
ing the island are taken:
With an acreage of $4,000 square
miles and population in 1899 Of
1,572,797, only three per cent. of the
area of the island and only ten per
cent. of the area in farms was un-
der cultivation. The most highly
cultivated portions of the island
were in Mantanzas and Havana pro-
vinces, which lie adjoining in its
western part. while in Puerto Prin-
cipe, the large central province cul-
tivation was comparatively slight AMI
the land was used mostly for cat
tie ranches. The crops. in the order
Of areas cultivated, were; first, sugar
cane occupying somewhat less than
half of the cultivated area; next,
sweet potatoes, occupying II re;
cent. of the area; tobacco, nine PEI
cent. and bananas trifle less than
nine per cent. Tobacco and sugar
were grown in all the provinces. In
1899 there were in Cuba POT sugar
mills, with daily production of 61,-
407 bags.
Light is thrown on the depopulat-
ing effect of war in Cuba by tie
comparison of the census of 1899
with that of 1877. In the latter year
it was 1881 ,6s7. or $4,000 more than
IL years later. in 1899. Allowing for
the probable increase in the popula-
ton between 1887 and 1895. the year
in which the insurrection broke out.
the loss of life, as indicated by the
two ccnsuses. may be estimated at
nearly 100000. loss to be attributed
to the war and the accompanying
recOncentratiOn.
The bulletin is accompanied by
maps and charts, and contains near
ly 1000 geographic names.

KING A TYPICAL BRITON.
Maj jOrity Of the People Of
England,

The late queen was ON many sides
typically British, and when she
thought and acted most individually
and unconsciously she was often most
in sympa thy with her people. So with
the king, says the Saturday Review.
Given some great and sudden event, we
believe that the kings first thought
and impulse in regard to it would be
almost certainly that of the majority
Of his people. In the king, that is, his
ministers, we find very typical Eng
lishman, and in many cases we do not
doubt that they can judge of what
public opinion is likely to be in regard
to proposed course of action by not
ing the first impact on the mind of the
king. More knowledge, more explana-
tion, further consideration of the diff
ficulties attending other courses of
action, may alter and change his mind,
but the kings first view is more than
likely to be the first view of the nation
also. 1t will always be a straightfor-
ward and courageous view, and one
free from undue subtlety and finesse.
We have of course no means of know
ing what the prince of Wales thought
during the crisis of the late war, but
we should be indeed surprised if his
view was not that Of the vast ma ajority
of the British people, l. e., one of dog
ged optimism.

QUEER CUSTOMS OF CHINESE.
In Their Country Liquids Are Sold
by the Pound and Cloth by
the Foot.

In China liquids are sold by weight
and grain by measure. John buys soup
by the pound and cloth by the foot.
\ Chinaman never puts his name out
side of his shop. but paints inside
motto, or list of his goods on his
vertical signboard. Some reassuring
remark is frequently added, such as
"One word hail." "A child two feet
high would not be cheated" says
Modes and Fabric.
Every single article has to be bar
gained for, and it is usual for the Gus
toner to take his own measure and
scales with him. A strong man has
difficulty in carrying on his back two
pounds worth Of the coppered cash
which is the common currency, SO it
is necessary to take a servant to car
ry ones purse. The sycee Of silver is
the only other form of money besides
he copper tael. AS it weighs about
81 ounces, hammer and cold chisel
are indispensable for making change.
When You engage servant or make
bargain it is not considered bind
ing until "the fastening penny" has
been paid. Although his bad faith is
notorious in some matters, yet, to do
him justice, when once this coin has
been paid by you the Chinaman, coolie
or shopman, will generally stick to his
bargain, even if the result to him be

CHEAP FUEL IN GERMANY.
Briqu ett es Made of Peat and the Dust
and Waste of Coal Mines,
Generally Used.

Among the several branches of
German industry which deserve the
attention of Americans by reason of
their economy, their recovery or util-
iZatiOn of some raw material which
exists unused in this country. or be-
cause they invoke the most inteli-
gent application of scientific knowl-
edge to technical processes, may be
reckOned the manufacture of bri-
quettes from brown coal, peat and
the dust and waste of coal mines.
Briquettes form the principal do
nestle fuel of Berlin and other cities
and districts in Germany; they are
used for locomotive and other steam
firing, and are employed for heating
in various processes of manufacture
For all these uses they have three
tangible advantages: They are clean
and convenient to handle; they light
easily and quickly, and burn with a
clear, intense flame; they make prac-
tically no smoke, and are, withal the
cheapest form of fuel for most pur-
poses.
Like most other important Germo n
industries, the briquette manufac-
ture is controlled by syndicate
which includes among its members
thirty-one firms and companies. or
more than nine-tenths of all the pro-
ducers in the country, and regulates
the. output and prices for each year.
From the official report of the syndi-
cate for 1901, which has recently APP
peared, it is learned that the total
output during last year was 1,566,385
tons, to which is to be added the
product of makers outside the syn
dicate, consumed at works, small re-
tail sales, ETC., making a grand total
of 1,643,4 tons.
The average selling price in large
quantities was $316 ton.
