LESS DEMAND FOR DOCTORS.

That is a somewhat whimsical wall that comes from the West End quarter of London which Is the most aristo- cratic portion of the great city. There is where the fashionable doctors live and the complaint comes from them A fair amount of practice and liberal fees formerly made their business prof. itable among the upper ten, but now they are complaining that there are not enough diseases to go around"
 That ts really hard on the doctors, though 1t may be that some of them are monopolixing the business. It is just possible. too, that the medical faculty has so increased that all of them are not able to get A finger in the pie to the extent that they formerly did. We know that the number of doctors is in- creasing In this country faster than the population does, and 1t may be 30 in London. Still again 1t may be that the good jobs to be picked up in fashion able West End has caused an overpius of doctors to remove to that favored neighborhood.
 But recent English medical jour- nal offers a very different explanation from any of these. It says that the cause Of the iessened practice in that quarter is because the people are pay ing more attention to the laws of their being and are living healthier lives than formerly. Added to this is the further fact that as people become bet ter informed they are not so prone to send for the doctor whenever they feel 6 pain or ache.
 Doubtless this last reason is one of the most rational explanations to be found for the falling off In practice among the class of people who are best informed. All of us have read of cases where doctors get good fees for treat ing imaginary diseases of wealthy people. As long as the patient be- lieves himself affected and is willing to pay the doctor who treats him no one need complain, but people are get ting to better understand themselves and are less disposed to call the doc- tor when there is really no need of him. All these causes may work together in reducing the demand for doctors among the higher classes.

 Q.--I met a young woman at the sea shore last summer and think we be- came engaged. Her actions have cer- tainly indicated such a condition of af- fairs, and the family is awfully good to me. How am to find out about this without hurting the young woman's feelings by a direct inquiry?
 Ali 1t was a seaside engagement the young woman should abide by the rules and forget the occurrence. Still a difficult case with which to deal. Why not propose to her sister? This would probably throw some light on the sub ject.

The Auditors, or Comptroller's onice of the State of Texas must be a truly immense department. judging from the force required to run it. The Dallas News says that in the one oaace there are forty-four clerks. whose annual pay amounts to s52,300. We are not sufficiently acquainted with govern mental affairs in Texas to know what all those clerks find to do. but we know that quite a vigorous kick is being raised about 1t. That is more clerks and more pay than is required by all the departments of our State Govern ment. But Texas Is a big State and must do things on large scale.

rockets are not frevorks in the opinion Of the customs ofFacials.
 How do they set at itf Hang'd if we know. One popular authority defines fireworks as certain articles which ex- piode with more or less noise. The same authority defines sky-rocket as "a arewerk which ascends when the compound is ignited at the lower end" That ought to settle if. but 1t doesn't by several. The sharp Chinaman argued that fireworks are something that explode and make a noise. skyrockets, he contends. do not explode in the proper sense of the word. consequently they are not fireworks, and the customs people agree with him.

 It would be a shame to us all if Ala bama has to pass a compulsory educa- ton law aud compel parents to send their children to school It is probably needed in some school districts now, where parents are indifferent to the welfare of their children.
 Every child of school age in the State should be in school as soon as the schools open and kept there until the schools close. A parent who will not do this does a great injustice to his children. The schools are for the chil- dren.

LOve Came to Me. Love came to me once in the long ago, In the dear half forgotten rose-kiss-

 fast With passion throbbed. My cheeks too
 red did glow. I saw Loves bubble-vain iliusivs I touched it with hopeful glad sur
 prise, And then it burst in my very eyes, And left them blinded with a smarting
 sting. And now I am learning in q conyent's
 walls; In saekcioth and in ashes how to
 Erieve. How often beauteous bubbles may
 deceiye-- Be not too eager when the Love God
 calls.
