MEDICAL MEN IN BIG SUPPLY
America Is Credited with Almost
Twice the Number That Sup
plies European Wants.

One Of the medical journals recent
ly announced that the number of
physicians was decreasing. 1t ad-
mitted that there was no immediate
prospect of noticeable dearth of
doctors, but 1t suggested, to put it
plainly, that there was danger of
young men being scared off the med
ical field "by the constantly increas-
ing requirements for admission to the
medical schools"
Now comes another lot of statistics
which shows that the doctors in the
United States numbered $4,000 in
1910, versus 10000 by the United
States census of 1900, giving, with the
increased population, an increased
clientele doctor from 572 to 594. In
Europe, says the POSTGRADUATE, ex-
perience has shown that one physician
can care for 1000 Of the general popu.
lation, and it is estimated that, even
with more stringent requirements to
diminish their ranks, it will be past
1949 before proportion is reached
which is there deemed normal. We

Species Of cacti Form Hedges Prac-
ticaIly Impenetrable.

The hedges which we ordinarily see
bordering country estates are planted
for their ornamental and beautifying
effect, and not as a substitute for fenc-
ing material, but in the extreme south
western part Of the United States
there are many hedges which serve
primarily this latter purpose. Various
species of cacti, such as the prickly
pear, are used by ranchmen to inclose
cattle ranges in those arid regions,
and these hedges are practically i'm
penetrable. Wild animals are thus
effectually prevented from attacking
the herds and focks, and supply of
fodder may always be obtained by
burning off the spines from tho tender
young shoots of the cactus
Remains of hedges 15 feet in height
are to be seen near the locations Of
the old missions in southern Califor-
MIA, where they once served as forti-
fications to protect the little settle.
ments. Instead of fences the Mexicans
use what Is known as the organ cac-
tus. When stakes of this plant are set
In the earth they readily take root,
and soon present formidable barrier

Matters Were Concerned.

| Russell Sage was notoriously NEAR
In money matters. but tho most demo

except where his dollars were in
volved, simple and kindly in manner
At the time of the Northern Pacific
bombshell. in May, 1901, reporter
called on him to get his explanation oi
tn ecorner which ran Northern Pacific
shares OF common stock up to 81, ,00C
one day, only to send them crashing
down the next. The reporter called at
his office in Broad street with letter
of introduction from magazine edi.
tor, and, squeezing in the outer office
past row of unpainted dry goods
boxes, which were evidently used for
storing papers in place of a safe, he
found the old millionaire in his rusty
clothes, cheap necktie and frayed
shirt and collar sitting at a little
stand, with nothing before him but a
pencil and a small pad of white paper
scarcely large enough to contain O
trii1ing computation in figures. Sage
said he was very busy and asked his
visitor If he could not come to his
house at night.
At the door of the brown stone house
In Fifth avenue, near Forty-socond
street, that night the reporter was
met by Sage himself. He was escort
ed into the back parlor or sitting
room, but was shut off from the front
room by folding doors. At small ta-
BILE Mrs. Sage sat reading the evening
newspaper, while Sage beckoned the
newspaper man to take a seat beside
him on low lounge in front of the
folding doors. The springs were
broken or SO weak that the two fell
close together
After telling what he knew about
the Northern Pacific panic Sage be-
came reminiscent of his early life, of
the Goulds, Morgan and other men
whose names were on every tongue.
He spoke with the simplicity OF a man
accustomed to run a village store. He
told of Morgan as a young man, who
had introduced into business methods
and ideas that were new and strange
to him and contrary to his early train
ing, and said he wasn't sure yet how
1t would all come aut. He spoke of
Jay Gould and the journey they had
made together across the continent
Just before Gould completed his pur-
chase of the Missouri Pacific, and ex.
planned that he believed in the semi.
southern route across the continent
rather than the northern one of James
j. Hill because the warmer country
would be more productive and invite
settlers sooner.

Christian Church WIN Soon be Rebuilt and
win be on Better Scale Than
Originally Intended.

The brick is arriving now for the
new Christian church building. This
building which will be one Of the
finest in western Kansas has q his
tory to begin with. On Christmas
eve when it was within a few weeks
OF completion it was entirely de-
stroyed by fire. AT the start it was
an immense undertaking to try to
build such church, but the funds,
finally, were raised ond the work
done only to Lose it all by fire. To
rebuild it seemed a very much great
ec undertaking, bat the pastor,
church board and congregation de-
cided to make the attempt and in enc
dav raised u fund to proceed With.
The plan OF the church now has
been changed from cement block
structure to handsome brick build
ing and the cost will be more than
for the original plan. The work
will be started now as coon US the
weather is settled.

INSPIRATION WAS HAPPY ONE.
Good Idea That Rescued Student from
Serious Dilemma.

A student in one of the theological
colleges found himself face to face
with an examination in Old Testament
history-a subject which he had en-.
tirely ignored all term. Taking coun.
sci with some friends, he decided That
all he really needed to know was the
long list Of the names of the kings
OF Israel and their dates. So he
crammed them each and all into his
bursting head. But, sad to relate, all
he was asked to do was to criticise
the acts Of Moses. Not one act OF
Moses, good, bad, or Indifferent could
the unfortunate youth remember, so,
after much thought, he wrote as fol.
lows:
Far be it for one as humble as I
am to criticise the acts of the great
Moses; but, if you would care to know
the names of the kings Of Israel and
their dates, you will find them writ.

FIRST AND LAST APPEARANCE.
Only Occasion on Which Casey Was
Admitted to ParIor.

An old Irishman named Casey made
a lot of money as a contractor and
built a fine house for his children.
The sons and daughters were much
ashamed of the plebeian father, and
Casey was always kept in the rear
of the house when they had party
or a reception. One day Casey died,
and there was a great to-do about it.
The children had a fine coffin, with
plenty of flowers, and Casey was laid
in state in the parlor.
That evening an old Irish woman,
who had known Casey when he was
a laborer, came and asked to see the
face of Ler dead friend. They con-
Quoted her to the parlor.
She walked up to the coffin, took a
long look, and said.
Faith, Casey, an they've let ye

Duties of OIdtlmc carvcrs.

At the formal banquet of the six
,eenth century the man who carved
me meat was bound with the red tape
af precedent When carving for dis
,inguished guests he had to remember
hat certain parts Of the birds or meat
must be set aside. In carving for his
lord and lady he was expected to ex-
ercise great discretion in the size Of
the pieces he sent around, for ladies
will be soon angry and their thoughts
soon changed. and some lords are
soon pleased and some not, as they
be of complexion" He was expected
to have the rules both of the kitchen
and the peerage at his knifes end. A
pike. for instance, must be dished up
whole for a lord, and in slices for
commoner folk. The rank of his di-
ners, too, determined whether a pig
was to be served up whole. sliced,
plain or with gold leaf, or whether
new bread or bread three days old
should be eaten.

Grizzlies Eat Violets.

In one locality the grizzly of the
Rockies is found eating the fresh
sprig of the dog-tooth violet and the
green leaves of the spring beauties,
says Fur News, while a few hundred
miles further on, to the north or
south as the case may be, the grizzly
doesn't touch them.
Instead he may be discovered
munching at the young shoots of the
shooting star, down in the Bitter
Root mountain country, for instance,
among the towering peaks of the
higher Rockies. Upon this question

suez Once a Natural Channel.

There is every reason to believe that
some 1000 years ago, in the time of
King Solomon, there was an open
channel through Suez, by which the
light draft vessels of the Phoenicians
passed through on their voyages to
Asia and to the gold regions Of Ophir,
which are now known to be In Africa,
and reached froA the east coast of
that continent. In the course of
time the two seas (the Mediterranean
and the Red), by action of the waves,
filled up the connecting channel, and
so 1t remained until it was opened by
the French under De Lesseps for traf-
fic November IT, 1869, at cost of
about $S5,000,000. 1t was subsequent
ly enlarged at moderate cost.

Successful Ministers,

The successful minister is born, not
made. By the use of whatever tools,
vitalizing though he may be compelled
to the Oldest and. modest conven.
tions, he comes to his real work by
virtue of qualities which theological
education can neither give nor take
away. If he has the soul to endure az
one seeing the invisible, and a heart
to throb in unison with all the varied
humanity about him; and to all this
adds the sense of high mission and
The burden of spiritual message, he
need not trouble himself overmuch to
become "socialized." He will find his
true power and WELD it. Into the
striving and sorrow of the world he
will be able to bring something of
peace and comfort; and will be the
setter enabled to do it for having
raced his mind by hard study and
fed his spirit by long meditation
while the fire burns, than by taking
out card in all the labor unions
from here to California, or running
now here and now there after the
latest sociological fad.-New York
