In which, it is Mid, the majority of the
phyaiciana of that city live, says the
New Xork World. Dr. Arhaud de Laug
lard, an old physician, who had been
decorated by the government for brave
conduct during the cholera epidemic
many yean ago, committed Buicide
with hia wife because his practice had
dwindled to the vanishing point and
starvation was staring them In the face.
In commenting upon the tragedy sev
eral newspapers asserted that in Paris
not more than one doctor out of five
is' able to make more than the barest
living. Among the causes of this pov
erty among physicians is the destitu
tion of most of their patients. Medical
science has msde such great strides, too,
that maladies of all sorts are now more
quickly cured, and such precautions are
taken to prevent the spread of conta
gions diseases that epidemics are be
coming practically unknown. The
number of doctors, on the other hand,
has rapidly increased. Another renson
why there is not practice enough to
go around is that in many of the hos
pitals people can be treated for nothing
or at a very nominal figure. Many of
these hospitals have training schools,
which are free, in which ore taught
the rudiments of medicine and surgery.
These schools are largely attended and
many sick people are taken in hand at
their own homes by some members of
the family who has profited by this in

the
r at Sails.
An Italian aea captain, Oio Batta
Tasallo, of Genoa, has made a very in
teresting innovation in the use of sails
of ordinary sailing vessels. He claims,
says the Philadelphia Record, that the
force of wind cannot fully take effect in
a sail, since the air in front of it cannot
properly circulate in the inflated part
and remains stationary immediately in
front of part of the sail proper. He
avoids this stagnation of air, as he calls
it, by the application of a number of I
small holes in that part of the sail
where the depression is deepest when it
is filled; these holes are reinforced like
a buttonhole so that they will not tear
out. Trials made in various weather
have resulted as follows: With a tight
wind, a boat with ordinary Bails made
four knots, whilft the new sail increased
the speed to 5 knots. InafreBhbreeze
the respective ipeeds were seven and
6 knots; and in a strong wind they
were eight and ten knots per hour. It
stands to reasoi that the doing nway
with a layer of a'r, which cannot escape
past the sides of the sail, must increase
the efficiency or the sailboat- Where
the wind formeily struck a cushion of
air which acted like a.spring mattress,
decreasfctg the s.cuaJL4irgj$uruf the
wind against tht .canvas, Uu&ciureut of
ah- now strikes the sail direct, and, of
course, has a greater efficiency. Vasal
la has received much encouragement
from practical tailors as well as the
oretical scientists.
PECULIAR RETnlNINQ FEE.
Jean Chinaman Bad It Arrmn-1 Betas
, H Prpetmtcd the Crime
CoL A. T. Vogelsang, the attorney,,
is regarded as one of the best raeor. '
teurs of the legal profession. In theJ
Palace grillroom recently, says the San;
Francisco Call, he let out a string of
anecdotes. He Baid that a few weeks
ago Dennis Spencer, the Kapa lumi-
nary, was called upon by a Chinanmii
one evening, when the following dia
logue occurred:
" 'One Chinaman kill another China
man with a hatchet; how much you
charge make him clear?'
"'I'll take the case,' said Mr. Spencer,
'for $1,000.'
"'Allee light,' said the Chinaman, 'I
be back after while.'
"In about a week he returned to Mr.
Spencer's office and laid down $1,000 in
gold coin on hia table. Mr, Spencer
Swept the money into the drawer.
" 'Well, the Chinaman, he dead.'
- "'Who killed him?'
"'J did,'
" 'When did you kill him?"
'Ist night."
There was some curiosity on the part
of the audience for further light on the
disposition of the $1,000, but Mr. Vogel
sang immediately spun off on to an
other story.
Prance and Ureal Britain.
The population of France in 1801 was
38443,102, and of Great Britain 37,888,
153, or a difference of only about half a
million in favor of France. It is now
announced that the census to lie taken
the coming yeor will show that the pop
ulation of Great Britain is the greater.
The reason for this reversal of relation
is the small birth rate of Trance and the
unusually largo one in U.-egt Britain.
There has been no emigration of conse
quence into the latter country, and
France has lost but little by emigration,
so that the above came account for the
relative British tni-rctum of over 1,00,
00U. The area of Franco is uror 340.00
miles, and that of Great Britain only a
little more than half as great, or 121,48
miles. a
