HAPPY THOUGHT.

The rich may be losing money in
Wall street, and the poor may be grow
ing poorer as usual, but rich and poor
can together rejoice because their per
capita" is growing. In the treasury
table of money. in circulation in the
country issued on October 1 the treas
ury estimates the total population i'll
the country at S0S31, 900, while the total
amount of money in circulation was ST.
404, ,069, a per capita showing of
$29.75. Since the previous high record,
established on June 1, the total amount
of moneY in circulation has advanced
by almost s22,5oO.OOo while the per
capita circulation has increased eleven
cents, showing that, in spite of the
rapid growth in population that is es-
timated by the treasury officials, the
amount os money increases in even
greater ratio. AS showing the gain for
year, the figures for October /, 1903,
may be contrasted with those of Octo-
Der 1. 1902. In that twelve months the
total amount Of money in circulation
has increased by almost $129,0O0,000,
while TIE per capita holding has in
creased Sill, from $2s.s4 to its present
record breaking figure, s29.75.

custom. and have not only sent the
landowners threatening letters, but in
many instances have set fire TO country
houses and farm buildings. Secret agi-
tators have been busy, and in many es-
tates the forests and the live stock have
been destroyed. AS a result the popu-
lation is without employment. In the
province Of Saratof government spies
discovered revolutionary literature in
the possession of certain peasants, and
had them arrested and tried before the
civil court on charge of arson. The
peasants were acquitted by the court,
but were nevertheless detained in pris-
on by order of the administrative au-
thorities. A vigorous agitation has been
started among the peasantry in lula by
means of private conversation and the
distribution of revolutionary literature.
The peasants are receptive and discuss
the new doctrines in village and canto-
nal meetings. Revolutionary groups
have been formed, and the effect pro-
duced by the agitation is such that the
peasants of their own initiative are be-
ginning to form libraries of useful lit
erature. A recently formed League of
Public School Teachers has issued a
proclamation calling upon teachers
throughout the empire to take advan-
tage of their influential position in coun-
try districts to promote among the
peasants movement for political free
dom and socialism.

Dr.. Katherine G. Townsend. writing
in Everybody's Magazine, says that the
average number Of medical women
graduates each year is about nine hun
dred, and 1t is estimated that there are
nearly six thousand women physicians
practicing in this country. Years ago a
medical woman had a hard time to
make ends meet with the proceeds of
her labor. AT this period each large city
will show the names of several who are
earning five. ten. fifteen and twenty
thousand dollars annually. Fifty-five
years ago this country had not one wo-
man physician. Colleges would not
graduate them. men abominated them,
and women had a contempt for them.
Elizabeth Blackwell was the first wo-
man to gain a diploma from a medical
college. She was graduated from Ho-
bart college, Geneva, N. Y, in 1S49, but
1t was not until she had applied to
twelve colleges that the sacred portals
were open to her. H., -, T. =.

IT will be well, says the Louisville
Courier journal, if, while this reforma-
tory inquiry is being made into the
home departments of executive BUSH
ness, there is a similar inquiry institute
ed in the diplomatic and consular SER
vice as to practices not unlike those
alleged against the Dawes Commission.
1t Is common occurrence that some
American diplomatic official in South
American countries is shown to be in
terested in land or mining speculations
and to lay the foundation of future en-
terprise there during his official resi-
dence. It,has come to be almost an ex-
ception when an official resident in
Mexico does not turn up at the close
az his term Of service with large con-
sessions of land for the introduction of
immigrants, for mining developments
or other speculative projects worked
up while in office. .

A new and original remedy for the
automobile nuisance is offered by the
woodbury. Reporter. What practicable
device, it asks, would be better adapt
ed to restrain the speed of automobiles
IN the country than the very simple one
of anchoring out cattle along the road?
Cattle used to- Craze habitualIy by the
roadside. They were turned out of 1t
in most villages and townships by local
ordinance because they were nuisance.
Cows do not step lively. and no one can
tell which way cow will turn. No
prudent scorcher will come at a COW on
the run. If he does he may spoil the
COW as COW, but it will still be worth
something as beef, and the chances are
that the scorcher will be delayed plenty
long enough for the owner Of the cow to
collect his damages" ....
