A Plea for Missionary Work at Home.
The severe drought has, it is said, caused q
partial failure in the yield OF edible acorns
and nuts all about US. For this reason our
beautiful trees have become the resort of little
waits from the beech and oak woods, who,
spTightly gambols. But the poor, little grey
squirrel, the most graceful Of our wild asimsls,
meets with areception SO brutal that he must
be driven back to his native woods to fare as
he may, unless all of us unite to protect him.
Why the average boy should unite to stone
them is mystery l leave others to decide.
But in the name Of humanity plead for some
missionary work to stop the killing and ston-
ing of these squirrels in the Park in behring's
woods and in the trees of the city. e. A. N.

This makes the average cost of each
patient per week $l1.77. This is an
increase as compared with last year of
Sl.37. This is dependent on the
general increase in cost of all kinds
of supplies and is in accordance with the ex-
perience of ali other hospitals whose reports
we have received.
There has been received from patents for
board SS,28l,S6. The excess of expenditure
over receipts from patients is $ll,649,37.
The free beds maintained by permanent en-
dowment or annual subscription which have
been available during the present hospital
year have been as follows:

weeks.
This free bed was endowed by friend of
the orphan asylum on condition that it should
support some member or members of the
asylum for 81 weeks. Only 81 weeks relief
were called for the present year.
This gives an aggregate of 541 81 weeks
and is equal to an average of 1898 free beds
for the year. The hospital has furnished relief
to free patients equal, in the aggregate, to
905 AT weeks or daily average of 1877.
1t will be seen from the above statistics that
the prosperity of the hospital continues and
its work is increasing steadily from year to
year, and yet the demand for free beds is in
creasing still more rapidly.
1t is very gratifying fact that SO many
new annual free beds have been provided for
by individuals and corporations. 1t seems to
indicate growing appreciation of the value of
the hospital to the community. But this in
terest should be more wide spread than it is
By referring to the list of free beds given
above, it will be seen how large a proportion
Of this fund is contributed by Portland people;
and yet only fsrtv-two residents of Portland
enjoyed the benefit of the free beds during the
year, and the aggregate amount of relief
furnished them was only l43 2-7 weeks, less
than one sixth of the whole.
