Suicides Among English Doctors.

A large increase has been reported
in suicide among English doctors. The
reason is not far to seek. 1t has re.
Gently been shown hat a doctor who
might calculate on an income of over
$4,000 a few years ago can count to-
day, In corresponding circumstances,
on only something over $1,000. The
simple causes OF this are two: First
and most important, the increased
health of the country at large, and the
diminishing death rate. The medical
profession, as a matter of fact, is work.
ing in these days of preventive medi-
cine in the direction of its own ex-
tinction. Another cause is in the null
DUPLICATION of the universities to whose
interest it is to turn out as many grad
yates as possible and the increasing
competition which ensues. And, again
the hospitals are daily being used
more and more by people who can af-
ford to pay.

Waiting.


What do we know of pain or ruth
In hat first age OF living?
The immortality of youth
It's transient splendor giving?
What do we feek of patience them
OF self with self debating
To stay the impatient spirit when
1t las most need of waiting?
Oh. lesson hardest to be learned,
What must we lose to gain it?
The wise discipline has been spurped,
Nor cared we TO attain it;
For life was then a summer song,
Our hearts and souls elating.
We hurried with the e throng,
And scorned the art of waiting.
Now wiser grown we've learned to wait
To curb each high endeavor;
We've learned our strength to estimat
When 1t has gone forever.
We've gained the lore when sters ar,
slow
Past youth, past love. past hating
The wisdom we would fam forego,
The peace that comes with waiting.
