Doctors Incomes.

The shrinking incomes of medical men
furnish legitimate reasons for serious ap-
prehension. 1t may be true that general
economic conditions are somewhat re-
sponsible for the particularly noticeable
impecuniosity of the profession at this
time. Physicians rarely get their money
until every one else is paid, and when
the grocer, butcher, florist and confec-
toner have to wait, how can the doctor
expect any consideration? But that for
ut least FIVE years the average medical
income has been steadily decreasing is
the disconcerting fact. To settle on any
one cause or group of causes is impos-
sible. A little thought, however, will GER
tainly suggest, aside from the increase
of doctors and the growth of new
schools" some modern features of med
ical practice as possible factors in con-
dition that is daily growing worse in
stead of better. Not the least prominent
are lodge and club practice and the
abuse of hospital charity. 1t is high time
that the profession realized the growth
of these evils and took active steps to
avert the dangers that threaten.-Amer-

WOOD FOR ORGAN PIPES.
German Makers Seek Reams Taken from
Ancient Buildings.

Organ pipes" says a we'll known
builder of this city, fare made of the
best white pine and the older and better
seasoned the wood, the better the quail
ity of the tone given out by the pipe
according to the St. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat
I'm Germany and England, when an
old public building, such as a church,
town hall, or large structure of any
kind is to be taken down. there is al
ways an organ builder hGnting the place
to find out of what wood the roof and
floor beams are made, and if he dis
covers that they are of white pine he is
ready to pay almost any reasonable
price for them, provided, of course, they
are in good condition, without knots or
nail holes. He knows that many of
these churches and other buildings were
erected 400 or 500 years ago, and that
through forty or fifty decades the wood
has been slowly drying and hardening
until it has reached a condition which,
from the organ builders point of view,
lis perfection. Then he takes the old
beams home to his factory. covering
them IN transit with tarpaulins, cuts
them into boards of the desired size and
makes his pipes with perfect confidence
that the organ he is building will be a
musical success.
Most of the old Organs of Europe
that is organs built from one hundred
to three hundred years ago-have mel
lowness of tone that distinguishes them
from modern instruments, and. although
the skill of the toner is now lessening
the difference between new pipes and
those that have been seasoned by long
use. there is still a difference between
the old organs and the new. just as there
is between violins made now and those
Cremona instruments that have mel
lowed with time.
American organ builders srend no
time looking for old beams. but they do
keep their lumber seasoning and drying
under shelter for several years before
they use IT. and then depend on the
toner 10 make M the difference"

THE EUCALYPTUS.
One Tree to Save State of California's
Lumber Supply.

To supply California, the southern half
of which has been badly denuded OF its
original forestation, with an abundance
of timber; to aid in the increase of rain
fall over dry area which is destined in
the near future to be called on TO sup
port an immense population; to supply
more than 100000 ties yearly to the
railroads of the United States, and, last
but not least, to furnish perpetual bee
pasturage for hundreds of apiaries-
these, are the things which are begin
ming to be written in the history of one
tree in southern California.
That tree is the eucalyptus, OF many
species, and the lumber from which has
but lately been discovered to possess
qualifications for use in certain indus
tries possessed by no other tree, wild or
domestic, known to man.
As a mere beginning of this plan the
Santa Fe Railway company has bought
10000 acres of land in San Diego county
California, and is planting it as fast as
possible TO young eucalyptus trees six
or eight inches tall. Several hundred
acres of this vast tract have been set
out already, and fully ninety-fve per
cent. of the trees have taken hold in
good shape and shown signs of growth.
One of the most interesting things
about the Eucalyptus is its varieties, of
which there are at least $50 good Spe-
cies, with probably third as many sub
species which are not commonly listed
in the catalogues.
They grow to be of great size; in Aus
tralia individuals of some varieties have
been known to attain height of 800
feet. In California, where trees were
planted about some of the old haciendas
forty years ago, they are still growing
and their ultimate size is entirely prob
lematical
AT eighteen years of age a tree will
cut into at least two railroad ties. A
blue gum six or eight years old, if cut
to the ground, will send up shoots that
will be seventy-ive or one hundred feet
tall in another eight years.-Harry H.
Dunn, in Technical World.

Holly Berries as Medicine.


1.-THE holly berry has a value other
than aiding in making the Christmas
decorations beautiful" said Lawrence
Beech of Cullman, Ala, at the Tulane.
IF one will take holly berries when they
have ripened thoroughly and stew them
for about two hours the finest medicine
on earth can be had for burns and chaps
and skin diseases. The juice of the
holly berry has been used in my family
for years with greatest success. Wheii
my mother was living she used to get a
lot of holly berries every winter and
stew them. She would take the fluid
and put it up in Jars. When one of us
children got burned right badly. and
chapped lips from going out in the cold
too much, or had any kind of skin irri-
tation, mother would always get down a
jar of holly salve and doctor US. And
when | get a home and have children of
my own | shall have salve the wear

The Health Department of the State
of New York reports the discovery of
thirteen instances of aduteration of beer
through the analysis of 2l9 samples of
the product. The Objectionable elements
found in the thirteen samples We're
salicylic acid and fluorides, which were
doubtless added because of their preserv-
ative quality. Sulphites were found in
a large number of samples, but the i'm
spectors state in justice TO the brewers
that the presence of sulphites in beer
may be due to the sulphurizing of hops
used in IFS manufacture" But if sui
phites are injurious. the brewers should
be compelled 10 fall back upon the hop
growers and compel them 10 abandon the
use of sulphur in curing the product.
Beer has grown TO be so universal a
beverage, and the amount consumed an
nually is so vast. that the health authori-
ties should not wink at any process which
introduces injurious materials The at
tribution of the presence of sulphites in
beer TO the use of Sulphured hops should
give the California fruit growers light
that may lessen their antagonism to DR..
Wiley's movement for the abandonment
of the practice of Sulphuring dried fruits.

scended into Lake Erie after casting
overheard everything in the basket, and
even discarded clothing to tighten the
weight carried by the sinking gasbag Is
warning to the growing number of
amateur balloonists to study the science
of aeronauties before attempting ascen-
sions without the aid of an experienced
pilot. One of the men in the balloon
which failed to cross the lake had ex-
perience which prompted action that
doubtless saved the lives of the occu-
pants of the basket. He directed the hus-
banding and proper discarding of the
articles which were used as emergency
ballast and thus postponed the drop to
the surface of the lake and happily timed
it with the appearance of the steamer
which effected rescue.

Germany are more satisfactory, and reg

It is significant that while the Wright
brothers have been more successful than
all the other inventors of aeroplanes in
the character and duration of their
fights, they are having their full share
of minor accidents, and that these slight
mishaps are sufficient 10 put their air
ship out of service temporarily. This
will strengthen the conviction that aero
