Beggars are licensed in many Mediterranean

they may crouch at their portals and appeal TO
the pity of worshippers, who, as they well know"
are especially susceptible at such time and

way into the church Golfers. In Italy and Spain
the mendicant does not depend so much on
hard luck" story his brother in America
does, but he depends instead on the wofulness
of his appearance. He tries to make himself as

the jabbed stump Of limb as conspicuously as
possible.
This characteristic of the beggar has been
transplanted to those countries of the New
World where the Spanish have settled. When
the Americans first went to Havana after
their victories of 1895 they found the streets Of
that city swarming with beGgars of the most
obnoxious type. They clustered about the doors
of the cathedral, knocked at the doors Of the

PAYING THE DOCTOR.
Physicians Fees and the Rules by
Which Then Dire Limited.

While it is difficult to believe that either
the courts or the Academy and the Faculty Of
Medicine at Paris will succeed in establishing
any hard and fast rule to the size of the fees
which physicians and surgeons entitled to
exact for the remuneration of their services. yet
the controversy excited by the demand Of
100000 francs made by a cancer specialist, DE-.
Doyen, upon American family visiting the
French capital is exciting such world wide In
terest and discussion that few notes concern
ing the rules and ethics bearing upon the mat
ter may be of interest. Broadly speaking. the
question before the public is as to whether doc
tors should be permitted to charge prices for
medical attendance that are proportionate to
the means Of their patients and should have
the right to call upon the rich to give not mere
ly hundred but even a thousand fold the
amount of money which they would claim for
identically the same services rendered to the
poor. Here in America, where so much medical
attendance is accorded to the latter at merely
nominal rates. without even any fee at all,
by doctors, popular sentiment will naturally be
disposed to the view that the disciples of Escu-
lapius should be free to obtain from the more
affluent large fees in order to compensate them
for all the hard work they do without remuner-
alton among those less fortunately situated
But in some countries other ideas prevail. Thus,

more than three rubles or 81 65 while the cost
of medical service to tho masses is limited to
about 80 kopecks, about 20 cents. OF course
it is optional for patients to give expression to
their gratitude for medical by paying
much larger fees. But doctors are debarrcd
from presenting any claim in the courts for
compensation in excess of the prescribed
by the ukaSe.
