RICHARD BRIGHT.
The Discoverer Of a 1falady Known BY

The D;scoverer Of a Malady Known by
Name to All Readers.
OfDr. Bright says writer in All the
Year Roun0, it has been VIZ tten that

none OF any country-since tie time of

Rich ri Bri5h was the son Of a
Bristol banker. and was born in 1879
Like Addison, he studied at EdinD rgh,
and subsequently accompanied Sir
George Mackenz and DR.. ta:terward
Sir Henry Holland in journey to Ice
land. He contributed tire Notes on
Botany and Zoology" to Mackenzie's
work.
Returning from Iceland, Bright began
hospital work at Guys Hospital in
London. and attended Sir AstIey Coop
er's lectures. These attracted hlin to
pathology and post-mortem oLserva-
ions. and these again led him 10 that
consideration Of one OF the morbid con-
iitions of the kidneys which he did so
much to elucidate.
But prior to this discovery he returned
% Edinburgh and completed his studies
1nder the famous Gregory Then he
passed two terms al Cambridge. travell d
IN the continent, attended medical lee
,ures at Berlin and Vienna, and pub
ished book OF "Travels in Hun
gary"
All this implies that he was well sup
olied with mon ey, which was in fact the
sase. But t absence OF pecunary i'm
,etus did not duii his professio nal ardor,
md when he returned to London he
'esumed his work with industry.
In 1920 he began practice and rapidly
,ook high position. but for six hours
every day he continued for years 10 pur-
sue his post-mortem invest legations at
Guys. He WAS not simply specialist

.ian Of rare excellence;" but it is as the
iiscoverer Of tn malady known as
Brights disease of the kidneys" that
1e is now known-by name, at least-to
doubtless all of our readers.

NEw YORK, April 3O.-TLe fall Of
Edwin Both on the stage OF the
Academy of Music on Wednesday,
and his peculiar conduct during the

around the thesters yesterday. Sew
ersl people who attended the per-
folmanCe say that Mr.. Bocth's actions
were wonderfully like those of a
drunken man, and that the others on

could during the LIST act. Many Of

fessed 10 know that Mr.. Booth has be-
come a heavy drinker OF ltte, and
that bis pei formances have been
marred before. But Mr.. Thaye-,
Booths manager, said: "Booth had
not been drinking. 1t vas an attack
of vertigo, which untitled him for

He went through it as well as sick

THE sEAsRORE GIRL.

Dear. Delightful Creature WHO
is Alternately Written Up and
Down.
Boston Record.
1t is conceded at the swell places that sea
bathing is no longer good form, and at Bar
Harbor where the water is too cold, and at
Newport where the inhabitants are too
English for such demonstrations, the sea-
shore girl must depend for that elusive
quality which is the most potent element OF
her attraction upon points OF dress ana dflV-
ing, or on accomplishments III the minor
athletics of hill-climbing or tenniS-paylng.
But the unSpoiled, uncOnventi0nallZed, I'M
deSeaShOred girl is to be seen III her best
glory al some of the questionable resorts,
to be found. for example, at Martha'S Vine
yard. And the camp meeting girls are the
most delightful of all. They go in for
bathing with an abandon and an enjoyment
that quite OutdiStances the languid pleasure
OF the hotel-staying girls. or the earnest,
mind-improving young women who haunt
the summer institute held in AgaSsiz hall.
The camp meeting maiden, who goes into
the water at IL o'clock, after morning
prayer meeting, or at 4 O'Clock after r0us-
ing afternoon sermon, seems to ind Spe-
cial SAVIOR in the salt waves.
There is pretty little Baptist sister down
at Vineyard Highlan DIS this summer who is
enough to reconcile the most worldly
minded of mortalS to the sectarian sign,
Baptist Landing" which hangs above the
wharf beside which she batheS. She dives
off the end of that wharf with the humility
of a little saint. and floats in twenty feet of
water with no pride whatever. She paddles
the babies about in the shallow water and
teaches the timOrOus old maids and matrOnS
how to fail off the raft with ease if not
with the courage and grace which she her
self shows. 1t is needless to say that she
is from an inland state, and that this is her
first season at the shore. Doubtless another
year will take away from her delight
and so from her charm. Some one
will tell her that it is no longer
thought just the thing for nice girls
to battle, and she will go back to her fresh
water lake with an idol shattered and her
fun half spoiled. She may shed salty
tear or two over the pretty blue and white
suit which is now her joy, and she may
swim again. but never for a second season
with the pure delight of her first. Now
she is that rare thing. type, type OF that
slowly disappearing creature, a genuine

have been on duty in this section of the
city for nearly ten years, and have noticed
that when good many young fellows and
girls are out walking and star-gazing in the
fall that there are apt to be good many
marriages in the winter. l can tell to
certainty when a couple are engaged by the
way they act"
''Do they act differently from those who
are not?"
Eyes, indeedy. Just walk around with
me bit and I'll show you those that are
engaged"
They had only proceeded about halt a
block when the reporter asked if a young
man and girl who were walking very rap
idly past were lovers. NO" answered
the ''cop" in tone of disgust. ''That's
his sister. He would never take his girl at
a gait like that; but here's pair that is
engaged" said the modern philosopher, as
a couple whose heads were very close to-
gether came along. '"They are engaged"
he continued. Il know, but nobody else
knows it yet. have watched the head
way they have been making for several
weeks. and been glad to see he's been sue
cessful, and he'll be getting wedding ring
pretty soon."
''How do you know they are engaged?"
80! can always tell by the way they
look in each others faces" he replied, as
self satisfied look of knowing all came over
his cOuntenance. ''She would never look
in that way at him if they weren't, for she
thinks there is not another man so good as
he, and he thinks there is not another little
woman like her. But perhaps they'll
change their minds after they are married"
and the knowing expression passed away
and a look of pain came over his face,
which plainly told that there was some one
else in his house who knew it all and was
boss, too.
AS the officer recovered from his reverie
on domestic affairs he said: You see, we
have walked nearly four blocks and only
met three young couples, while nearly every
stoop has several pretty girls on it without
any young man. Now, that is the sign go
by. too. If there were going to be lots of
marriages those stoops wouldn't have girls
on them without young men, and if the
young men meant business they would go
out for walk, for there is nothing that will
make fellow propose so soon as that, "
continued the solilOquizing officer, as he
pointed toward the moon with his baton.
Watch the weddings this winter, and see
if l amt right" was his parting shot, as he
hurried off to answer the call of the sergeant.

SLIDING AT SMELLING.

The Gay Soldiers us,d Their Ladies
will Indulge i'm TObOgganiris This
Winter.
The people of Fort Smelling are for the
most part of nomadic sort; they are wan
derers on the face of the earth. but their
tents once pitched in the Northwest, they for
get their half-SpaHiSh existence in Texas and
Arizona, their completely social life in the
East, the flowery life of California and the
no life at ali of the South, and become alto
gether NOrthWeSternerS. That is, they De-
come possessed of two leading impulses. to
evolve brilliant business enterprises and to
enjoy themselves. Last winter Fort Smell
ing depended much for its outdoor sports
Oh St. Paul; but this winter it proposes to
be gay and healthy at home. To do this
it must have drives, skating rink and
toboggan slide. 1t has the drives. The
fort boulevard is a standing temptation to
every nan who owns a good horse, and
now it proposes to add the rink and
| the tOboggan slide. A club is already
forming The gentlemen are making
calculations as to how good slide
| they can afford. and the ladies are devlsing
a uniform such as shall suit every age, style
| and complexion. Two sites for the slide
are now under consideration; one OF these
| is a long hill leading from the rear OF the
headquarters building to near the level OF the
river. 1t is very steep, has dangerous
declivity on the river side and is not very
convenient On the other hand 1t presents
a slide almost ready made, it is long and Its
steepness offers a spice of adventure. The
second site is one running from the post
guard house back indefinitely toward head
To &c 10
! sary to construct a treStle work about one
hundred yards in length and with height,
at its extremity, of some fifteen to twenty
| five feet This would give slide of 500
yards and fall OF about fifty or sixty feet.
A committee will be appointed to give
| the matter a thorough study, and to
consult with builders of tobOggan
slides in st. Paul. One thing that
| is bound to make the fort slide popular
with the fort people and their town visitors.
is the fact that the usual walk to the top of
the slide will be dispensed with, and the
tObOgganerS carried back in ''eScOrt
wagons" placed on runners. These will be
drawn by four mules, and drivers Will be
provided by the fort. The skating rink for
ice skating will occupy natural hollow OF
almost unlimited extent just in rear of the
upper plain when it will be convenient to
all. The surface will be kept in the best
order by daily foodings from neighboring
| hydrants, and snow falls in this and the
toboggan slide will be removed by the large
force of military conyictS.
1t is very fortunate that at Smelling the
garrison and the headquarters are so near
each other that the two can combine forces,
and that there are numerous people with
nothing to do but to invent and perfect
amusements. The joint hops of post and
garrison will continue to be held each alter
nate week at headquarters hall. and with
the spirit now prevailing. the coming win
! ter of the military in the Northwest prom
| ises to be an unusually merry one.
