When physicians assemble to criti-
else their own institutions and score
their own methods the layman may be
pardoned II he pricks up his ears and
becomes an interested and anxious lis
tener. When a doctor, high In medical
councils, declares that medical colleges
graduate every year 1000 doctors who
are incompetent and should not be per
mitted to practice medicine, the faith
cure begins to assume imposing proper
lions. Happily 1t is not for the lay
man to arraign the medical profession
the profession 10 abundantly able and
willing to perform that function for
itself. Yet 1t may be said for the much
berated doctor that perhaps he Is re-
proved too harshly along the lines both
Of elementary and higher education. 1t
is truly an excellent thing to be good
speller, but 1t Ia possible that prac-
titioner may be as deficient In orthog-
raphy as the good Martha Washington
and still be extremely helpful In mat

practicing physicians who are, as
charged, unable to make a satisfactory
laboratory test Of typhoid fever and
still serve a useful and benefcent pur-
pose In ministering to various sick and
afflicted. The hard working doctor who
may not have enjoyed the full advant-
ages of a modern collegiate and medi-
cal education Is not to be utterly
despised because he fails to come up
to modern requirements. The fact that
the fraternity has been SO violently as
sailed by Its own associates, with the
| further fact that In the council Of
physicians "the opinion seemed to be
unanimous that there L. something
wrong" makes 1t important for the
honor Of the profession and the safety
Of the public that something should be
done. This Ia a matter that lies who'll
" within the discretion Of the frater-
nifty and to the doctors the public must
| look for a correction Of their own evils.
II medical colleges are as faulty and
criminally careless as Ia asserted, and
II thousands of ignorant practitioners
are annually turned loose to prey on an
unfortunate community, 1t Is to the
interest OF competent and honorable
physicians to see that the abuses are
ended. The public has no alternative
1t must Judge the profession from the
standpoint of its own criticisms and its
own confessions. II ignorance Is to be
checked and malpractice averted thu

Desert and swamp Lands.

According to official figures, since the
reclamation law was enacted by Con-
gress In 1902 eight towns have been
built and 10000 people have settled
on what were desert lands. To prepare
the way for these settlers 100 miles of
branch railways have been built, 1,267
miles of canals have been dug, many of
which carry whole rivers, and forty
seven tunnels have been excavated.
1t Is estimated that the territory en-
braced In what Is known as the arid
regions of the United States covers
6OOOO0,0O0 acres, of which about co..
100000 acres are subject to irrigation
which, when properly supplied with
water, can be converted into farms
fully as productive as lands In the
most favored sections.
A bill was introduced In Congress
at the last session for the purpose OF
retaining overhowed and SWAMP
lands in Wisconsin, Arkansas, Indiana

"A Chicago police magistrate has been

The primitive Inhabitants Of Europe
were all tenors; their descendants OF
the present time are baritones. and fu-
ture generations will have semibass
voices. The voice has tendency to
deepen with age. The tenor Of twenty
becomes the baritone Of twenty eight
and the bass of thirty-six. The inferior
races have higher pitched voices than
the more cultured The negro has a
higher voice than the white man.
Among white races. the fair complex
Toned man has a higher voice than his
darker skinned brother. The former Is
usually baritone or tenor. the lat
ter a contralto or bass. 1t Is asserted
that tenors are usually OF slender
bulld. whereas BASES are, stout, but
there are too many exceptions to such
rule for It to be reliable. The same
remark applies to the statement that
thoughtful men have deep toned voices
and vice versa. The tones of q voice
are perceptibly higher before than
after a meal. for which reason tenors
are generally careful not to sing toe
soon after dlnner.-Pearson's Weekly.

Spanish princes. He may be consid-
cred more fortunate, too, than czare-
WITT, who must grow up while uncer-
tain dumas are meeting and keep de-
batting with himself whether he Is an
autocrat or not.
Probably, also, 1t is fortunate for
Spain that the succession Is so early
established, though no horoscope can
tell Just how much of prize the baby
will prove to be. At any rate, steadl.

country seems to have fairer prospects

Just before Christmas, the incident has
been repeated, and although the editor
OF Truth has frequently expressed to
the messenger the wish that the gen
erous donor would make himself
known, the answer has always been
that he preferred to remain unknown.
For several years the number Of the
new sixpences distributed has been
eleven thousand. Think Of the amount
of happiness they have conferred, and
Of the modesty and simple-hearted
kindness of the giverI Sir Francis

It Is not generally known, perhaps,
that the United States army Is just
completing a map of every inch of the
island Of Cuba for use In case 1t ever
becomes necessary for the American
government to occupy the country by
force. The engineer corps Of the army
has been deyoting most Of Its atten-
ton to the undertaking since last fall,
two of the three battalions having been
at work on the island In the last half
Of that period. Not nook or corner
not travelled road or an obscure trail
has escaped the mapmakera The
strange part Of 1t Is that the Cuban
government has aided the work In ev.
cry way 1t could. giving orders to the
rural guards and local officers In far
away towns to facilitate the engineers
operations whenever possible.
