One thousand million dollars, the price which Europe annually pays for armaments in time of peace, equals a pile of dollar-bills over fifty-two miles high. The expenditure for the supposed prevention of war represents one thousand million days' labor at one dollar a day, and this, be it remembered, every year, to enable each nation to hold its own. 2. A pile of dollar-bills over fifty-two miles high represents the annual payment for interest and other costs of past wars. 3.

This fact, it may be incidentally noticed, should give pause to those who advocate rival com panies limited to policies on the lives of physicians. Moreover, the best companies pay good fees, not seldom higher than does the private patient, and they pay 100 per cent of their bills, promptly and in cash. The positions thus held by medi It was eight billions fifty years ago, it is nothing a man dislikes more than a prude. It is the exceptional man who canrealy understand that a woman can have any lasting grief or any real trouble that the few tears she occasionally allows herself the luxury of shedding on his shoulder will not wash away.

Above all, he cannot understand why she should be sad when he honors her with the light of his presence. To him she represents the sunlight of life, and when he emerges from the dark and gloomy cloudland of business cares he expects her to shine radiantly. Certainly he does not mind a little shower now and then, but wants it soon over. Perhaps one reason why men like this woman 30 well is because she never nags and scolds. Absolute flattery in words this adorable woman never gives, but she administers to the man deft little pats, just such as she gives to the pillow under her aching head, and makes the pillow, comfortable.

She teaches him to believe in himself and his posibilities, and his success is more often than not, due to her. Gaining his confidence, she respects his secrets. A man may profess his scorn of religion, may consider children a nuisauce, but he looks askance at the woman who openly confesses to a dislike of either.

The United States paid for pensions before the Cuban war over $147,000,000, about seven times the total income of all its colleges, and about equal to the annual cost of the German army. 6. Armies take- the very flower of youth. If they could consume the weaklings, idiots, and criminals instead of the strongest workmen, perhaps something might be said for the specious argument that "war keeps down surplus population." Military equipments must be new. One may vise an old sewing-machine or reaper, but not a gun that is out of date.

A new invention makes old junk of millions of costly, burnished arms. 7. The increase of standing armies and navies, accomplishing no result but increased burdens 011 the people, is inevitable unless the practical men of the civilized world insist upon a rational settlement of international difficulties.

The death of the professional athlete, Hosmer, at one time leading oarsmen of the world, of tuberculosis recalls the fact that there is such a thing as overtraining. Tlif spvprp strain that is hnrnp liv tirnfps- members of our profession who are exam iners uiving back to us the results 0 sional athletes is very apt to be followed by collapse sooner or later.

It is noticeable how frequently the collapse is accompanied by the development of tuberculosis. Over-development of a part of the structures of the body is a source of weakness rather than strength. The "bicycle heart" is a marked in-tance of this fact. The heart increases in size and power because of the demand thrown upon it by the prolonged and violent exercise. The tendency of this abnormal condition is to shorten life.

RECIEPT FOR KISSING. Take one piece of dark piazza, add a little moonlight, take for qualities two people. Press into two strong ones, one small, soft hand. Sift sliyhtly two ounces of attraction, one of romance, add a large measure of folly; stir in a floating ruffie and one or two whispers. Dissolve half a dozen glances in a well of silence; dust in a small quantity of hesitation, one ounce of resistance, two of yielding, a kiss on a flushed cheek or on two lips; flavor with a slight scream and set aside to cool.

This will succeed in any climate if directions are followed. Ex. their examinations? They have splendid opportunities for research, tabulation of statistics, and the formulation of valuable conclusions derived from the rich clinical material placed at their disposal. Some good work of this kind has been done, but as a whole the scientific contributions of the medical examiners of life insurance companies are deplorably wanting in unity and thoroughness. The companies may rightly ask us a proper recognition and preparation for their special work, and we may as justly demand of them more scientific, statistic and literary work as evidences of their social obligations.
