the medical practitioner in England Is
not ascribed alone to the overcrowdlnS
of the profession. By many the prac-
titioners themselves are blamed 1or
consenting to accept fees which are not
only unworthy of the work done Dut
too low when regarded in the light OF
the means Of those who have the work
done. This state of affairs is attrib-
uted to rivalry and want of unity
among practitioners in general. AS Il
consequence the suggestion is made that
doctors in each district should agree on
minimum fee below which no one
would be allowed to go, barring, or
course, charity work.
That the conditions in the medical
profession in England are no worse
than those in Germany is shown by a
communication from a correspondent of
the New York Times, in which he
states that the physicians of the varl-
GUS German cities have been compelled
to advertise that in the future in
creased fees will be charged and al!
consultations by telephone will be
charged for at the same rates as gov
ern when patients visit doctors offices.
Warning is also given that night and
Sunday calls will be charged double.
The reasons given for the increased
fees are the enormous increase in liv.
ing expenses, heavier taxes and the
general inadequate charges made here.

KfpIing at Work,

Il have lOunged in Rudyard Kip
ling's den at Brattleboro, VT, before he
deserted America for England and seen
him at his work. He sat at his table
in a revolving chair. l had book in
my hand and said nothing unless l was
spoken to, for l was enjoying a great
privilege that was granted to no one
else but his wife. He would write for
a moment, perhaps for ten or fifteen
minutes at time If he was writing
verses he would hum very softly to
himself an air which probably kept
the rhythm in his mind When writing
prose he was silent, but often he would
lay down his pen, whirl round in his
chair and chat for awhile. 1t might be
something relating to the subject he
was treating or bear no relation to IL.
Suddenly he would wheel back again,
and his pen would fairly fly over the
paper. He can easily concentrate his
thoughts and as easily descend from
cloud land to the commonplace of the
day, though in his mind and on his lips
nothing is ever commonplace. Some

Left Their Marks.

There was an air of cynicism about
Miss Martha Head and brisk and
biting quality in her voice which was
not conducive to display of sentiment
from her friends and relatives.
Occasionally outsiders attempted
some flight Of fancy, and were speedily
blighted by Miss Martha. This was the
case when summer resident went to
return Miss Heads call, and was Wis
ibly stirred at the sight of the beauti-
full old house, of which she had been
told so many stories.
ITO think how many, many little feet
have gone up and down over these
stairsv' said the visitor, in a tone of
awe, looking with reverent eyes at the
old staircase.
Miss Martha gave her a searching
glance, and then bent her gaze on the
stairs.
Yes" she said, crisply, anybody
can see that. With three grandnephews
and two grandnieces here all summer
long, racing and tearing up and down
and hardly ever remembering to wipe
their shoes on the door mat, those
stairs are never fit to be seen."

Influenza Epidemics.

Influenza is an acute infectious dis
ease of peculiar character Its origin
al home is believed to have been in
that mysterious region called Eastern
Central Asia, where also the plague is
thought to have its natural habitat.
From this region it was wont to issue
L irregular intervals of from four to
five years to seventy or eighty, and in
wade first Russia and then western Eu.
rope.
1t was for long not known how it
spread from one country to another,
affecting large districts almost at once.
ItS appearance in a city. for example,
was hardly noted before the entire city
was in its grip. 1t was thought due
to some mysterious atmospheric "infiu-
ence," whence its name from the Ital-
Ian form of the word The French
call 1t la grippe, whence our grippe"
because of the way it seems to seize
upon its victims.

over the entire civilized world with
such extreme rapidity that the belief
In an atmospheric influence was for a
time revived. study of the epidemic
however, proved that it followed the
wanderings of human beings along the
lines of travel; at first in definite
direction, because the travel in Siberia
and eastern Russia was along narrow
caravan routes and in a westward di-
rectiOn. Once 1t reached populous
western Europe, with its radiating
lines Of railways, If burst forth in ev-
cry direction like the explosion of a
rocket which has journeyed for time
i straight line up through the air.
This explosion and almost simulta-
neous diffusion throughout Europe was
simply the result of human inter-
course. AS soon as the earlier carriers
of the infection reached populous
city they scattered in various direc-
tiOns to their homes or to lodging
houses and hotels: and each one who
was suffering at the time from the dis
ease became focus of infection. and
from each of these centers the disease
spread, and the grippe seized upon
great numbers in all parts of the city
ut the same time, as soon as the incu-
bative period of from one to four days
had passed. Europe for time had the
epidemic to itself, but in ten days or
two weeks, just long enough for the
steamers to bring their infected human
cargo, it appeared here on the Eastern
coast, and as fast as steam could car
ry 1t spread over the entire country.
The epidemics in former. times last
ed from one to three Or four years and
then ceased, but since 1890 influenza
has been epidemic in Europe and Amer
lea every winter.

Many farmers are crossing the line
Of the United States into the western
provinces Of Canada. Tie movement
has attracted widespread attention. 1t
has been encouraged by systematic
work Of publicity and promotion. The
boomer has used all sorts of advertis-
ing deviQs to emphasize the advan-
tages of the new country. That his. SER
vices have been effective is undoubted.
If Canadian figures are reliable sew
eral hundred Thousand people have
moved from the United States to these
provinces since 1900. There is steady
movement Of population in the other
direction also. New England Is fill
ing up with immigrants from Canada.
They are crowding the mill towns and
are also occupying the farms once own
ed by the descendants of Pilgrim and
Puritan. The old towns show the loss
of names once common and the pres
ence Of families of entirely different
origin. These Canadian-French settlers
are changing rural conditions in New
England completely. The fact of their
steady increase is as apparent and. in
a way, as striking as Is that of the
other migration in the Northwest.
There Is another movement from Can
ada of men of business instincts rather
than Of agricultural or industrial ten
dencies. How great the volume of
this steady flow Is uncertain. But it is
matter Of common observation that
many Canadian clerks are at work in
the United States. Only a casual glance
