as a career In spite Of all recent
restrictions and efforts to raise the
standard of admissions to medical
schools, in spite of long courses and
additional training in hospitals, the
profession is so "congested" that the
average practitioner finds it hard to
make decent living. The spread of
mental healing and the improved sani-
tary conditions Of our cities and towns
are among the causes Of the decline
of medical incomes. In short, young
men are urged to shun medicine I'M
less they are devoted to the science
Of health, take an intellectual and hui
manitar1an interest in 1t and expect
to practice at a Sacrifices. It may be
observed in passing that there Is
scarcely a profession which does not
complain of oversupply OF practition-
ers and decreasing demand for their
services or falling returns. 1t would
not be a bad thing If thousands OF
young men intended" for law, medi-
cine, engineering, teaching were In
duced to take up farming and garden
ing and see what brains, education, In
dustry and efficiency can do by way
Of increasing the yield Of land. But,
ground for pessimism as to the future
of the medical profession. The old
order changeth, but the new situation
creates new opportunities and new
sources Of usefulness and income
Harvard has just established a de-
partment Of preventive medicine and
hygiene, and here Is its prospectus:
"It has for its field Of work the laws
of health In relation to the proven
ton Of the occurrence and the lim1ta-
ton of the spread Of disease; it will
consider the laws of the town, the
State and the country in their bearing
on the health Of the community, and
the natural history of disease in rela-
ton to the individual and the COM
munity; 1t will train men for the In
vestfgat1on Of these problems, and
men to fill various offces In boards
of public health and other public
health work; it will meet the growing
need for men to direct the people in
ways of rational healthy life" It IS
certain that other colleges will follow
this example OF Harvard The health
departments and the public school sys-
TENS will enlist more and more ply
sicians in their services. More and
more will be done nationally and To-
cally by public, semi-public and pri-
vate agencies-like insurance COM
panies-for the promotion Of health
and the prevention Of disease and
death Research will also be extended
and stimulated, for such problems as
cancer, consumption, pellagra and so
on are pressing for solution. The ills
human flesh is heir to are still many
and terrible and there is plenty of
work for trained and earnest physi-
clans The period Of transition brings
hardshtps to many, but there Is no
occasion for anxiety as to the future.

CURIOUS PARIS INDUSTRIES.

One Man Made Living as a ''Re-

The magistrate was mystif1ed, and
the prisoner proceeded to explain. He
had been employed by chemist who
sold "antifat" to pose for his picture
of before" and "after" treatment
For the first picture he wore suit
of gutta-percha and was then inflated
like a balloon; in the second he re-

But .tDad" Didn't Know He Had
Been Talking About His Daughter.
The late Bishop Thomas Frederick
Davies of Detroit" said Detroit man
in the Providence Journal, once told
me an interesting story OF an elope-
ment. He figured in this elopement
as the officiating clergyman. 1t was
in Philadelphia, during his rectorship
of st. Peters.
1T seems that the proprietor of one
of the largest dry-goods houses in
Philadelphia had noticed for some
months the melancholy attitude of his
head clerk young man whom he
held in high regard.
The clerks pallor and increasing
leanness, his frequent signs and alb
sent-mindedness worried the million
aire proprietor He questioned the
young man daily. And finally the
clerk admitted that he was in love.
We'll said the head, marry her.
Your salary is big enough.
All, said the clerk sadly, you
don't understand She belongs to one
of the first families Of Philadelphia
and her father is millionaire
We'll, maybe he wasn't when he
married You have a good position
and a good name. You are a fair
match for any girl said the other.
Its no USE sighed the clerk. Her
parents would not listen to me for
one moment
Then, said the head. 'elope with
her
DO you advise that?' the clerk
asked excitedly.
g Certainly 1 do. Is She Do
know herr
Yes She will be at your dance
at Devon tomorrow night
We'll, see here, said the head.
I'll have my coachman out in front
of my gate at $50. Rush the girl off
in town and marry her. I'll arrange
with the clergyman for you
by Jove, said the clerk, I'll do
it,
And he did. The next night DR..
Davies performed the ceremony, and
an hour or two later the millionaire
found his daughter missing and was
telegraphing in every direction to the
young couple to come home and all
would be forgiven"

During the twelve months ending
In June there were four hundred and
forty-four women In the English bank
ruptcy courts. Failures among mar
rted women showed a marked increase
during the year, as against material
decrease in the failures among spin
sters and widows, and a commentator
accounts for it by suggesting that a
woman attempts too much when she
undertakes to run" both a business
and family. The explanation seems
adequate. Successfully to manage the
affairs Of household calls for as
much of commercial acuteness as the
average human being is able to COM
mand.

Eighteen hundred and seventeen cot

twelve hundred more was turned over

practical and benef1cent relief was
offered to the stricken people of Sicily

The Expense of Being Careless.


A prominent business man, accord
ing to Orison SWEET Marden, in Sue
cess Magazine, says that the careless
ness, inaccuracy, and laundering OF
employees cost Chicago one million dol
lars day. The manager of large
Chicago house says that he has to
station pickets here and there through
the establishment In order to neutral
lie the evils Of inaccuracies and the
laundering habit, Blunders and mac
curacies cost a New York concern
twenty-five thousand dollars a year.
Many an employe who would be
shocked at the thought of telling his
employer a lie with his lips is lying
every day in the quality Of his work,
in his dishonest service, in the rotten
hours he is slipping into it, in shirk-
ing, in his indifference to his employers
interests. 1t is just as dishonest to ex-
press deception in poor work, in shirk
ing, as to express it with the lips, yet
I have known Office boys, who could
not be induced to tell their employer
direct lie, to steal his time when on
an errand, to hide away during work
ing hours to smoke cigarette or take

put the deserter in prison for not
more than year and make him pay
10 the deserted so cents a day from
his earnings as a convict This will
be we'll enough, provided that so cents

very beautiful as a general proposition
based on mercy and humaneness, but
there are at least two sorts of brutes
whom merciful theories don't reach.

sorts and the chances are ten TO one

Our Roads Are Bad and Our Farm
ing Unsystemat1c, He Says.
mo country | have visited has such
bad roads as the United States" re-
marked Robert H. Jackson of Woburn
Lodge, London, England, at the Shore
ham, according to the Washington
Post.
This Is surprising to me, for II
there is any improvement nation
can make that pays for itself it is the
building of first-class highways. |
spent several weeks In Indiana-at
Terre Haute-and as I am interested
largely in farming, | made frequent
trips through the surrounding coun-
try. Some Of the roads were six inches
deep in dust, and in the winter time,
| doubt not, this dust becomes sludge.
How the farmers can get to market
with their crops Is beyond me. Your
roads, wherever | have been, are gen
orally very bad. In England we have
excellent roads, as in other countries
Of Europe.
Road building and road improve
ment are done through the township
unit system. Nearly every township
has one or more steam rollers, and the
cost of improving the roads or build
ing new ones is borne by the property
owners in proportion to the value of
their holdings. Most of the modern
roads of England have a foundation
of brick-not the ordinary brick but
brick of large size. Upon this foun-
dalton is placed several inches of
soil, and on top of this soil blue
stone, which is ground into the soil
by means of the steam rollers. This
makes first-class durable road that
will keep in good condition during all
seasons of the year. Over here most
of the roads are made by simply turn
ing the turf and grading; at least that
Is how they impressed me.
Farming, too, is not done in the
best manner in the United States"
continued Mr.. Jackson. You let the
weeds grow too much. l wonder what
the people of this country would do
If they had the limited area that we
have in England and had to depend
upon the soil for their prosperity"

toes and other products of the earth,
