4 NEW HOSPITAL At THE SOLDIERS
HOMIE

The hospital building at the Soldiers Home,
for which an appropriation was made by Con-
gress, is being pushed rapidly towards compile
tion. When the appropriation was made for q
new hospital it was determined by medical off,
GERS of the army, who had made speciality of
the matter, to see if the objections to perma-
neDt building could not be done away with, as the
locality Of the new building presented favor
able opportunity for such experiment. Work
upon Il was commenced last year, and the struc-
ture will be ready for occupancy next summer. 1t
is brick, with broWnstone trimmings, and consists
Of a centre building and two wings, the latter
containing the wards. The centre building is
three stories and the wings two stories high, the
whole surmounted by Mansard roof, the capac-
ity of the edifice being for fifty patients. One i'm
portant feature is that the kitchen and laundry
are located on the third floor, instead of in the
basement, and the smell arising from these de-
partments does not pervade the whole building,
as is often the case when they are below. The
dining-roOm is located on the second floor COM
muniCating with the kitchen by dumb walters.
The walls in one wing of the building will be fin
ished in Parian cement, making them smooth
and impervious, so they can be readily cleaned.
Those in the other wing will have the ordinary
hard finish, for the purpose Of comparison. The
edihce will be heated by hot water, and great
care has been bestowed upon the ventilating
apparatus, which consists of two aspirating chin
neys in the centre building, each feet square and
IS feet high; within each Of these chimneys is
fue of boiler iron, two feet in diameter, connect
ing with air-ducts throughout the building
through which fresh air can be introduced and
foul ar removed; other fiues are located in both
the ceilings and floors of the wards, so that the
system Of ventilation is Of tie most perfect char
acteT. The Water-clOsets have distinct ventila-
tors, as we'll as the gas-burners, bathrooms, sc.
large air-duct beneath the building brings in
the fresh air, and at the opening of this, short
distance from the building, an engine and fan are
located to regulate the supply. Crates, with i'm
proved YentilatOrs, have been imported from Eng
land for use in the smOking-rooms. The building
also has eight rooms for important cases for sur
gical operation. verandah surrounds each
story, which is inclOsed upon the north side with
movable sash, so that they can be left open in
summer. The cost Of the entire structure will be
about AGO. 600,

THE CHRISTIAN STANDARD.

EBut some one says, with n kind Of hopeless
mess, well, have my standard fixed; it Is low
enough in all conscience. But it seems next TO
impossible fer me to raise It. 1 would give the
world II could realize my own idea OF what a
Christian ought to be-" The only method of
raising ones Christian standard is by recOg-
nizIng God prOpTietOrship in him; by consider
ing what Christ has Suffered to redeem him: by
living more IN the light OF the cross. Asplra-
lions are unavailing, resolutions are unavailing
without the use Of means. There are inHucnc IS
from heaven, which We il court and encourage, 60
which If We yield ourselves, we shall have no
occasion to complain because our standard of
Christian living Is so low. We shall find orr
selves in such close fellowship with God, in such
close sympathy with the Lord Jesus, so under
the power Of the Holy Spirit, that holy living will
become less and LEES a warfare between our two
natures. and more and more the prevalent law
am not speaking here of our
Christian activities. They will take care

the fruit will be also good. 1 am speaking Of
