THINNING IN MEDICAL RANKS
Fewer College Men Take Up the Study
of Medicine, According to
the Statistics.

An official in one of Philadelphia s
big medical colleges said to me, writes
4 Philadelphia Public Ledger report,
CT: THE number Of physicians grows
less each year. There is already a
noticeable lack of them in some rural
districts
1T is true also that the number of
medical students in our Philadelphia
colleges, as we'll as in the medical col
leges in other parts Of the United
states, Is smaller now than it was
formerly. In 1904 there were $4,000
medical students in the country, but
low there are only $4,000"
What is the reason for this de-
cline?" l asked the college professor

GOT HIS WIFE BY PURCHASE.
Recent Transaction In England Gives
Rise to Some Caustic Remarks
BY Eastern Editor.

We are all in agreement upon the
general principle that however much
a man may want a wife he ought not
to buy one. But at the same time we
do hear sometimes Of the frank and
unashamed purchase Of a wife. Take,
TOR instance, a certain divorce case
that has been heard recently in Eng
land and that was described by the
Judge as an instance of wife-buying,
which 1t certainly was. Mr.. Morand
asked for a divorce from his wife on
the ground that the lady had given
the most unmistakable proofs of her
preference for multimillionaire
named Captain Morrison. In a way 1t
was a friendly suit, since Captain
Morrison was willing to pay $27 500
damages and Morand was willing to
receive that sum. They were both in
agreement as to the value Of the lady.
and the Judge concurring, the divorce
was granted and the transaction COM
pleted.
OF course, the story is a rather dis
gusting one. but we are disguised not
because Captain Morrison bought q
2 woman, but because he bought a
woman who was already wife. There
Is nothing remarkable about the pur-
chase of a woman, since it is done
every day. Sometimes 1t is the man
who offers to SELL The various asso-
Citations of y&lng women who have
recently announced that they will
marry no man with an income of less
than $4,000 year have virtully stated
that $4,000 a year is the lowest price
at which they will sell themselves

CROPS IN JAPAN ARE SMALL.
American Farmers Could Not Live On
Such Scanty Returns for His
Seed and Work.

Japan Is such mountainous coun-
try that the area of arabic land Is
quite disproportionate to the size of
the whole empire. 1t is alleged that
barely II per cent of the entire sur
face can be cultivated, and that even
the cultivable part is not naturally
very fertile. Still there are large
tracts of wild moorland which might
easily be brought under cultivation, or
at least be converted into grazing
lands.
Where the farmer lives and labors
there are abundant evidences Of his
diligence and self-sacrifce. Doubtless
the major part Of the farming land is
lean soil. Still the judicious use Of
fertilizers-mostly night soil applied
in small quantities direct to the grow
Ing plant; the elaborate and skilful
system Of irrigation that gets full
value from every drop of water; the
laborious subsoil working-by hand in
the soft ooze of the rice fields-and
the incisive wedding out to produce
better results in quantity than they
do. When the harvest Is measured oy

whatever else the hyakusho (farmer)

Worthy Scottish Emblem

The Order Of the Thistle, of which
Lord Haldane, lord high chancellor
OF Great Britain, is to be made a
knight, dates only from the last Of
1903. Centuries earlier, however, the
thistle was the national badge Of
Scotland, and the origin of its en-
blematic use is ascribed by tradition
to the Danish invasion Of Scotland.
The invaders planned a night attack,
and, marching barefoot, had contrived
to creep close up to the Scottish
forces unobserved when one of them
stepped on a thistle and uttered cry
OF pain. The alarm was given, and
the attack failed. Out Of gratitude
the thistle was adopted as the insig-
mia Of Scotland.
