CITY HOSPITAL.
Editor PALaTKA NEWS:

Your article of the 18th inst, of the
move on the part of a number Of ladies'
and gentlemen to get up an entertain
ment at an early day 10 start fund for
the purpose of building a city hospital.
was only another reminder of the great
want in this direction and the necesSit.
of such an institution. There is a strik
inc illustration of the necessity existing
in the city at this time. A young man
was severely hurt at Whites K. r., caus-
ing am told a compound fracture of the
bones of one of his legs. He was brought
10 this city, carried to a lodgding house
and had it not been through the skill
and kindness of DIR. Strauss whose atten-
ton was called to the case, aided by
families near by the man perhaps would
have died from want of attention or
nourishment, not being able to provide
either for himself. But thanks to the
ladie and the doctor, the man Is now on
the road to recovery and will soon be
able to go towork or join friends at home.
| could cite quite number OF cases
showing the necessity Of public hoSpit-
al, but have no doubt every reader OF
this article will call them to mind and
Nagree with me.
We have thousands Of strangers every
winter at our hotels and boarding houses
and if any of them are taken sick. IT i
impossible under the circumstances fol
them to get proper attention, and II
there was hospital with only few
beds much good could be done and suf
fering relieved.
Ii the city would put up small build
ing, have no doubt the county commis
sioners would aid them, while many cit
izers and visitors from all over the cOun
try would gladly contribute to so nob!t
an undertaking. and believe if a prop
or star, is now made the hospital can he
assured before next winter. Speak ;
good word Mr.. Editor and keep it befor
the people. RrTHvlN.

Never Borrow Trouble.

There were once a man and woman
who had promised to spend few days
at friends house, which was some
miles distance from their own. So one
pleasant morning very early they started
out to make the visit, but they had not
gone far before the woman remember
ed bridge they had to cross which
was very old, and was said to be un-
safe, and she began to worry about it.
"What shall we do about the bridge ?"
she said to her husband, 81 shall never
dare to go over it, and there is no other
way TO cross the river" "Well, said
the man, "what shall we do2 for
got about that bridge; it is bad place,
and the Governments fault if we
should be drowned" "Or suppose you
should step upon broken plank and
break your leg" said his wife, "what
would become of me and the children"
81 don't know" said the man, "what
would become of US, for | couldn't
work, and we should all starve to
death" So they went on worrying and
worrying until they got to the bridge,
when they saw that since they had
been there last, new bridge had been
built, and they crossed over it in salty.
The gentle reader will hardly believe
that this fable, if such it may be called,
was written in Hawaii, for if it had
been, it will be argued, the poor man
and his wife would certainly have both
been killed when they came to the
Government bridge. On theother hand
it might be argued that it could not
have been written in this kingdom, be-
cause if the man and woman had liveo
in Hawaii they would never have starteo
on route which crossed Govern
ment bridge without taking boat with
them; besides they would never have
thought OF blaming the Government
for the death of either party in any case
There seems to be dilemma some
where and especially when the fact il
that it was written IN Hawaii

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have
been directed 10 construct lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, IS that none Of
the inventors could rid themselves of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered TO
the system OF producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator OF Elec-
tricity in itself, i. e., in the foot OF the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about a complete revolution in all
branches of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
of lighting will be as cheap as gas "a cents
per hour), and it has before the latter the i'm
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree of temperature. 1t is further abso-
lutely nodorous, and does not need TO be
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
Of fire, explosion OF suffocaton, as in the case
of gas, if the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu-
able 1t is further preferable to any known
kind of lighting for the following reasons
~ Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can keep it in order.
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another
(3.) That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing Of the wick, or the cleaning of the
cylinder, as in the case Of Oil Lamps.
(4.) That the light produced is soft anc
most steady one that it never hckers, anC
the flame, though being equal in power o
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de
gree.
(s.) That every danger of fire is absolulel,
excluded as the light will extinguish immedi
ately, if by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should be broken
(6.) That it will burn, even in the stronges
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for Examinations, lighting Of gardens
corridors, etc,
This Lamp is constructed ioT the present il
three different sizes;

From the Erie Sunday Gazette
notwithstanding the fact that there is law re-
Quirng the closing OF saloons on Sunday. there ia
certain place In South Erie, the proprietor of
which Is not Over-scrupulOuS about such matters
and in quiet way allows the back door to open
On Sunday night. Last sunday night the room
was filled with company who were quietly anus
ing themselves until, becoming somewhat muddled
at a late hour they began to disperSe when a
strange apparition appeared. A woman, strangely
attired in black, came gliding in and, uninvited,
took a seat.
"What do you want?" courteously inquired the
salOOn-keeper.
..Child OF mortality, 1 want souls, she replied,
The half-drunken, awe-stricken bystanders could
stand no more, and rushed out, leaving the per-
picked proprietor in a corner.

after they had left.
''We are all alone, was the reply.
The woman arose and removed her mask reveal
ing face OF marvellous beauty.
"My GOD: Mary, have you risen from the dead ~
the SalOon-keeper cried. The rest OF the story is
soon told some years ago promising young man
left his country home to seek his fortune For q
few months he wrote hopefully TO his friends but
as the months advanced these letters became
more brief, and finally ceased altogether. RumOls
came TO the quiet farmhouse that he had fallen
into bad company, and that he was dlsstpated and
going to ruin as fast as the devil OF drink could
send him. Friends wrote kind letters, expOStulat-
ing with him. but without ayatl. At last Mary,
his twin sister, could endure the strain no longer
and sought him out. She was the strange appar1-
ton thlJ visited the saloon. Somehow her brother
had been informed that she was dead, hence his
surprise when she removed her veil. The CONVEX
sister seems to have made q deep impression He
has promised her that he win return to the
use anything that can intoxicate as long as he

Gold I'm the Abstract.

From the Indianapolis Jour00A Dec. j.
Scientists tell US there Is no such thing as
cold; that heat and cold are relative terms and
that cold is merely the absence OF heat. Mathe-
matically expressed, then, heat is plus quantity
and cold minus one and, metaphysically speak
ing, one Is positive entity ana the other a mega
tive abstraction All this is very well, but to
man with frosted ears or acute chilblains 1t is
sounding brass and tinkiing cymbals. In Ike
manner scientists assure us that the terms up
and down are e merely reiasi.e, bat the man who
does 1t help man who IL stumbling around
in the darkness to assure him that there is no
such thing rs darkneSS-that It is merely the alb
Sence OF light. IL he peels his nose against an
chair, It hurts him just as bad as II darkness
were positive quantity, and in his heart OF
hearts he beiieveSi 1t is Recurring to the case
OF cold versus heat, which just now is one OF cur
rent interest, we respectfully submit that the
scientific definition OF the term cold, or the cold
plication. II scientists ears are nipped one Of
these cold mornings, what matters 1t to him
whether they are dephlogisticated or frozen:
Whether the result is reached by the withdrawal
much difference TO the man with the frozen ears
They pain him just as much as IL cold were posi-
tive instead or a negative quality. The phiioSo-
pher who, with the Thermometer below zero
should apply his tongue to street lamp-poSt or a
water hydrant might get great deal OF personal
his tongue was due to sudden abstraction or heat,
but every newSbOy and street gaIrin would know
that it was caused by the cold. II any one thinks
there Is really no such thing as cold, let him sit
on his back fence about midnight tonight and
contemplate the milky way for an hour or two.
By the time he has resolved q few nebulR into
their Sidereal elements, he will be apt to conclude
that cold is quite as much or a reality as heat.
