DOCTORS IN UNITED STATES.

To one who observes the consider
able number OF physicians signs In
the average city or large town the
report OF the last census that there
are in the United states only 10000
physicians, including osteopaths, psy-
chopaths, hydropaths and doctors or
every description, may come as rev.
elation and a surprise, The addition
al information, afforded by the cen
sus, that this country has only one
doctor to every $50 Of its population
Is not likely 70 relieve the observers
wonderment until he reflects that a
physician to every $50 people Is, after
all, a fairly liberal safeguard to the
public health, says the Manchester
Union, The figures, Of course, repre-
sent the aver ge the country over
some sections Of communities having
fewer doctors In proportion to their
population and some having more.
Manchester, for instance, on the basis
OF the census figures, would have .O1
or 1O8 physicians. The city directory
gives 98. The census report on the
matter Is not incredible yet a person

HIS UNKNOWN GOOD POINTS
Widow Found 1t Hard to Reconcile
Eulogy With Her knowledge OF
Dead Husband.

An old Irishman who had made a
good deal of money, but who wasn't
very particular about his habits or
conduct, lived in Chicago. His "s
tom was to go downtown about once
a month on a spree, and then come
back home and beat up his family and
break the furniture. His aged wife
who had stood him for many years
was blihG.
Finally he died, and his children
gave him a fine funeral. They had
plenty of money now that the OLD
man was dead, and so they spread
themselves. At the church there was
elaborate ceremony. The blind widow
was dissolved in woe. She cried and
cried all through the services, paying
scant heed to what was going on un
til the eulogy was pronounced. She
listened. The priest referred to tht
dead man in glowing terms. Ate
about ten minutes of this the aget
widow nudged her son and whispered
Danny, do they be havin' two fu
nerals here today?'-Saturday Eve

CHEESE DENOTES THEIR RANK
Swiss Family Found Without Aged
Variety of DeIicaey 10
Scorned.

Lucerne.-The Ehgllsh, the Ger
mans, and the Norwegians are great
consumers of cheese, but the people
Of Switzerland surpass them all. The
cheese OF Zermatt is &c hard that one
is obliged to scrape It or cut off chunks
with a Ratchet, and It's use Is con-
sidered most important on all cere-
monious occasions. The rank OF a
Swiss family is known by the age OF
its cheese, and the more affection or
respect a guest inspires the harder Is
the cheese which Is cut in his honor.
It is said that there are families In
Switzerland whose cheeses date from
the first French revolution, and these
are served only at baptisms, weddings
and after funerals.
The larder in every ramily is guard
ed with care and the cheese is named.
Upon the birth OF a new heir a cheese
Is made that takes the name given
him or her, and that particular cheese
Is never under any circumstances cut
until the boy or girl grows up and is
married. On such occasions each OF
the guests takes a piece of cheese
from the bridegroom and from the
bride and drinks to their felicity, the
cheese held aloft.-Harper's Weekly.

had. This evidently was a little. para
disc in the time of Solomon and Is
frequently mentioned In the Old
Testament.
About ten miles from Engedi lies
the peerless natural fortress of Ma
cada (Sebbeh), first fortified by the
Maccabees, then used as a place Of
refuge by Herod. At the foot of the
tableland can be seen the Roman wall
of decentralization and the two Ro-
man camps on either side of the small
ravine.
"The fortress, which is 1,700 miles
above the sea, has steep sides at about
an angle Of rs degrees and cannot be
approached, except from a connecting
neck called the Serpentine. A more
inhospitable place or n more disad-
vantageous to besiegers could not be
imagined.
Eight miles away is Jebel Usdum,
a mountain of rock salt rising to a
height of 500 feet. In this mountain
Is a large cave which was explored
to the extent Of about 200 yards, at
which point a tapering cylindrical
shaft of about 20 feet In diameter was
discovered, piercing the solid rock salt
80 feet high, as though through poi
ished marble, evidently the effects OF
the rain.
Great snow white ~stalactites hung
from the ceiling. The approach to this
mountain presents most fantastic ap'
pearances of walls, buttresses, par
apets, projecting towers, ETC., caused
by the stratifcation and lay OF the
salt boulders.

course, we have no means of know

What will be done with the gentle

that he is to be rushed around to all
