Kipling 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. I had a book In
my hand and said nothing unless I was
spoken to, for was enjoying q 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 a time. II 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 1t.
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
of his poems he has written when
speeding in a Pullman car at the rate
of sixty miles an hour."-Pacific
Monthly.

Left Their Marks.

There was an air Of cynicism about
Miss Martha Head and a brisk and
biting quality in her voice which was
not conducive to display Of sentiment
from her friends and relatives.
Occasionally outsiders attempted
some fight 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
stairs" 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 at to be SEEM"

That the conditions in the medical
profession in England are no worse
than those in Germany is shown by a
communication from correspondent OF
the New York Times, In which he
states that the physicians OF the vari-
GUS German cities have been compelled
to advertise that in the future In
creased fees will be charged and all
consultations by telephone will be
charged for at the same rates as gov
ern when patients visit doctors offices.
Warming 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
tOfOre.
DR.. G. Pick, writing Of conditions In
Austria, shows that about the same
unsatisfactory state of affairs exists
for the medical profession there as OBJ
tains in England.

Induenxa Ep10em1cS.
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 1t was wont to issue
at 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 1t
spread from one country to another,
affecting large districts almost at once.
It's appearance in a city, for example,
was hardly noted before the entire city
was in it's grip. It was thought due
to some mysterious atmospheric 'fnfu-
ence," whence It's name from the Ital-
ian form of the word. The French
call it la grippe, whence our grippe, y
because Of the way 1t seems to seize
upon it's victims.
The last great Eruption Of the dis
Nu6c was Ill lOCC-UO, WACA IL CPA eau
over the entire civilized world with
such extreme rapidity that the belief
in an atmospheric influence was for a
time revived. A study of the epidemic,
however, proved that it followed the
wanderings Of human beings along the
lines Of travel; at first In a definite
direction, because the travel in Siberia
and eastern Russia was along narrow
caravan routes and In a westward d.
rection. Once it reached populous
western Europe, with Its radiating
lines of railways, it burst forth in ev-
cry direction like the explosion Of a
rocket which has journeyed for a time
IL 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 a pOpulOus
city they scattered in various direc-
lions 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
at 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
~ it 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.

WHEN NEW YORK WAS Yomo

City Hall Was tho Social az Wan

Had Capt. Kidd revisited Wall stres,
some three-and-forty years after bs

At its eastern end or slip, in front

From this point the prospect gradu.

boasting some dwellings Of neat and
attractive appearance, but the north

four wholly dissimilar structures. The
first of these, on the northwest between
William and Nassau streets, was the
property of Gabriel Thompson, tav.

the most pretentious building on Man

foundations had been laid In 1899 with
the stones taken from the bastiOns Of
the old palisade. Beyond this, and al
most adjoining it, lay the PresbyterAn
church, substantial brick edifice; and
at the head Of the street on Broadva!
squatted the ugly, square little wooden
building with a disproportionately tall
steeple which had sheltered the con-

Such was the condition Of the street
which had In less than half centur!

the city, which now boosted a popula'

WHERE DOCTORS FARE Ill.

Fees In England, Germany and Aus
tria Often Ridiculously Small.
Those who pay the doctors bills
in England, like those In America, gen.
orally have their own ideas about the
periodical outcry raised In certain sec
lions Of the medical profession as to
the increasing difficulty physicians
have to make both ends meet" but II
the figures recently printed in the Brit
ish Medical Journal regarding the
struggle of the average physician in
this country to earn anything like a
decent livelihood reflect actual condi-
lions, more lenlency should certainly be
shown-at least in England-toward
apparently liberal charges for minister
ing to our physical woes, says the Lon
don correspondent Of the New York
Times
It is pointed out that while there
may be a few specialists in London who
earn incomes ranging between $4,000
and 100000 year, the average in
come Of the medical man in England
works out at something like 81 100 or
1850; and, reasoning from this aver
age, the letter of correspondent, who
bitterly bewails his fate at an income
Of 81, 100 a year, out Of which he must
defray the expenses of his surgery and
practice before he can claim anything
for his home, Is taken as a sample Of
the experience of the ordinary practi-
toner in the Industrial centers of En-
gland.
The correspondent In question had
secured for himself fair connection.
in point Of numbers, after a residence
Of ten years in his district. OF his
earnings 31.6 per cent was paid to him
at his surgery 81 per cent was paid in
weekly installments to collector: two
thirds of the accounts were paid at a
rate Of 6 cents week and one-third at
less than cents week; IL per cent
had to be regarded as bad debts. and
the balance, 20 per cent, had to be got.
IL it was got at all, through the County
Court.
The reason Of this inadequate return
for all the skill, patience and labor of
the medical practitioner in England is
not ascribed alone to the overcrowding
Of the profession. By many the prac-
titioners themselves are blamed for
consenting to accept fees which are not
only unworthy of the work done but
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 a
consequence the suggestion IL made that
doctors In each district should agree on
minimum fee below which no one

COSMOPOLITAN SHANGHAI

Contains More People Of Different
Races than Any Other City.
It is the most truly cosmopolitan
city in the world; for Paris, after all,
is mainly French; London, after all,
is mainly English; New York, after all,
is mainly American. Shanghai has its
French hotels, its imposing German
Club, its English Country Club, It's race
track, its Russian bank, It's Japanese
mercantile houses, its American post
Office. 1t is ruled by a council Of Eng
lishmen, Germans and Americans. 1t
is policed by English boobies, Irish
men, Sikhs from India, and Cinnamon.
On the Bubbling Well road, of sunny
spring afternoon, where the latest thing
in motor cars weaves through the line
of smart carriages, you may see Span
lard elbowing Filipino, Portuguese JOS
Ting Parsee, Austrian chatting with
Bavarian; and they all talk, gamble
drink and buy in pidgin English.
This settlement Of fifteen thousand
Europeans, living apart from that pub
lie opinion which compels the matnte-
nance Of a social standard in every Eu-
ropean country, and Indifferent to that
local public opinion which keeps up a
certain curious standard among the
Chinese themselves, seems to have prac-
tically no standard at all. The prob
lem of every decent American or Eng
lishman who finds himself established
in business is whether he dare bring
his wife and family and introduce them
into circles so degraded that families
disintegrate and children grow up I'M
der disheartening influences. The heavy
drinking Of the China coast ports is
proverbial, yet the drinking seems lit
tie more than an incident in a city
where the social atmosphere is tainted
and altogether unwholesome.-Samu
