Riobteousness of Doctors Fees.

"There is, after all, for those who question the righteousness of the physl- cian's fee (and remember only one-thlrd of those he serves are ever called upon to pay iD, final test,' says an impor- tant article in the April Appleton's. The cost of living of late years has advanced at an almost prohibtive rate Naturally this might be expected to, increase the cost of any commercial service. Yet more than 6O00 inquiries sent to physi- clans throughout the country asking what effect this same increased cost Of living had on doctors fees brought the practically unanimous answer-almost pathetic in it's noncommerciality, none. Just three physicians made any other answer, and their replies were that fees had advanced during their practice only a small fraction of the cost of life's ne cessities. Apply this answer to any of the other necessities of life-for phy- sician's services are necesslty-dhu judge so far as the power Of judgment exists, how uncommercial are the serv- ices of him who brings us into stne world, suffers our pains, bows to our own inevitable indebtedness to Old MOT tality and pays in turn his own same debt

Consider these if you would measure the doctor,s bill on a commercial basis, and then say how immeasurably less meas ured on this same basis it is than 1t should be. Whether one is a millionaire or a pauper. the inevitable conclusion must be that the value of physician service is relatively without money and without price.
 "Let us pay the tribute long overdue not in money, but in appreciation. We who ring the telephone at o'clock on a. snowy morning to summon the doctor, who for aught we know, has been work- inc, since daylight let us remember the words of that old doctor who gave to his denarting disciples the message, Always ra,namber the frailty of flesh, the holi- ness of your calling, and always have hone And if we stop to think, there Is holiness and an absolute freedom rom commerciality in the calling of him who has for his opponent not rival manu- faoturer not a rival financier, but the in- avitabv victorious Death Consider the sacrifices. the needs, and the gifts or the physician. measure to yourself the value of even day more of lie, ana then judge, so far as it is given 10 us to judge, the righteousness or the physi- clans fee."

be somnambulist; so one night he was watched.
 About 1 clock in the morning he rose from his bed proceeded to the top floor, opened a window, climbed out of it onto the caves of the house, along which he made his way with the greatest agility. Then he climbed up to the chimney-pot, pulled off his night cap and carefully placed it in the pot.
 The next day, on investigation, his rela- tives found dozens of his caps hidden away in that spot. When the old man saw the route of his perilous walk he shuddered and yet he had made that trip night after night without evincing any sign of fear.
 A New Yorker, on one occasion, after retiring very early from the family circle, arose, dressed himself and returned to the drawing room. He joined in the con- versation, sang song, and then went to bed again. He not only had no recolee- tion of his actions that night, but his family never suspected, until the next day, that he had been asleep all the time.
 An Italian, mentioned by Gassendi, walked through a swollen torrent on stilts one night while he was asleep. He awoke on the other side, and was too much afraid to undertake the dangerous task again until daylight came.
 A stonemason, living in Kent, once met with peculiar experience. His employer told him to measure some work which he had done to the wall of a churchyard in the vicinity, as he wished to send in his account
 lnsensible To Pain.
 The stonemason retired to bed early that night He was awakened by clock striking ?, and to his horror and amaze ment found himself wandering around in the churchyard with his measuring rod and note book in his hands. He decided to stay there until daybreak, and then he found that he had measured the wall correctly, and had entered all the partic- ulars in his book while he was asleep.
 There are instances of sleep so intensely deep as to deprive the sleeper of all sense of pain. The records of the Bristol ln- firmary present an extraordinary illus tration of this.
