The Chairman called attention to the
suggestion from the Committee Ill Its
Report under this head.
The GOvern0Y With regard to that
succession, he would limit himself to
declare that Government is willing to act
in accordance with the suggestion OF the
Committee, and intended later on i'll this
Meeting. within closed doors, to communl-
cate whom the Government intends to
appoint for the proposed Commission, and to
request the Council on its part to appoint
two Members.
3rd Member for Frederiksteds Country
District (HeUit0 called attention to the
enormous amount for this Department,

for a community like this, considered
to be healthy, and he thought that Govern
ment should take some steps to see II no
reduction can be effected. He believed
that the control with the public hospitals
here is different from that exercised else.

who discharged from the hospitals. Wnen
we compare these our expenses with WhaC

as the whole affair is but an accident that
could just as well have occurred in any
family.
End Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (SUitzer) said he thought it no more
than right that the counts should be
submitted to all the Members of the
Commission in good time. He made some
further comments on the particular case
that had occurred in the hospital.
The Chairman, said it ought not to be
said that the hospital is in a bad condition
as urged by the honorable Member; one
single instance of the nature mentioned
by the honorable Member could Ger.
tainly not warrant the assertion, that
the hospital is on the whole in bad condi-
ton; and the honorable Member cannot
as yet be aware of all the circumstances,
since the case is still under investigation
by the Police Authorities.
The Governor, said he had bestowed
much care and attention on I'll e affairs con-
nected with the Hospitals; he could say,
that they are not in a bad condition in any
way; on the contrary, he found them in
perfect order and the duties properly dis
charged.
3rd Member for Frederiksted's Country
District tHewjtt) said the honorable Mem
her for Frederiksted's Country District
(Svitzer) is the Councils representative liz
the Hospital Commission, if he find any
thing wrong, he must certainly be at liber-
IT, to lay it before the Council. The case
mentioned by the said Member appears to
be serious and deserved to be brought
forward.
The Government entertained the sugges-
ton Of the Committee for a Commission on
the question of physicians.

Bird Member for FrederikSted'S Country
District (HeCitD would beg to enquire If
the $500 for medicine on this bill are to he
used for outlying pAuperS, or for paupeFs
at the hospital; if it is to be used i'll the
first case, it is an enormous amount. The
question Of furnishing doctors and mede-
cine to labOurerS has been discussed and
decided by planters, and for the remain
ing cases in town and country where
an outlay for medicine would yet be
requisite, it is certainly very high in
deed and it is a matter meriting to be-
examined by the Councils representative
how the charges for medicine are made ;
for instance the item OF sweet oil Is one
which is charged for very high, when de-
livered by the Druggist, but it can be had
at a very cheap rate elsewhere.
The Governor The $500 for medicine
for paupers is not for patients i'll the hOspi-
tails, the expense for the latter purpose is
entered under the Sanitary Department.
The amount in question is for medicine or
dered by physicians for pauperS Outside the
public hospitals; compared with st. Thomas
he expenditure is low, although the num-
Der of inhabitants here is larger.
3rd Member for Frederiksted'S Country
District (HewittJ said there could be no
comparison between here and St. Thomas /;
the latter is a town and seaport, and it is
well known hat such places are more ex-
posed to have sick paupers and the like,
but the greater part of our population lives
in the healthy country districts.

The tallyman or travelling draper is, as
most of my readers ere probably aware,
a superior kind of hawker or an inferior
kind of commercial traveler-which-
ever you like. In purchasing and SELL
ing it was at one time customary for
traders to have two sticks, and to mark
with notch on each the number OF
goods delivered. These tallies Qrom
the French word taller, to cut) were
the means by which accounts were kept.
The tally-shopis shop at which goods
are sold to customers on account, the
account being kept in corresponding
books, One is called "tally," and is
kept by the buyer; the other side is
the counter tally" and is kept by the
seller. Sometimes a card is given to
the customer instead of book. The
tallyman calls with his goods, his fnery
and his household stuffs, and displays
his tempting wares to the eyes of the
housewife.
Unfortunately, many poor mems
wives don't want much pressing. They

sum to be paid down, and it win be so

fall to the tallyman's first stroke Of
business with his wife. The tallyman

things and descend to lodges which are
the beginning of bad times. The great
desire of most of the tallyman's lady
customers that they are in debt from the
husbands knowledge, and threat to
tell the husband or apply to him for
the money is very powerful weapon
in the tallyman's armory.-Cor. Phila-

In short, women have many supersti-

Samuel johnson had his pet super

his, and, indeed, so have most men and
women who have been shining lights
in the world of genius and poetry of
song. They may be called "old wives
fables and we may be rather ashamed
of owning that we harbor them or re-
member them, but all the same we do
on occasion. Possibly we are so con-
stituted and the tangible is so close to
the intangible, the movable to the I'M
movable, that we can not avoid 1t. If
one hundred women of fair or
average education and intelligence
were to answer truthfully if they had
one or more superstitions, ninety
would answer 'yes" - probably all
would say the same.-Brookiyn Eagle.

rHE WORLDS GOOD WOMEN.

Good women are as sentinels; In the darkest Of
earth's night
They hold with stout hearts silently, life's out
posts toward the light
And at God Almgh.y's roll call 'mong the
hosts that answers Here"
The voices of good women sound strong, and
sweet, and clear.
Good women are brave soldiers; in thickest OF
the fight
They stand with stout hearts patiently, embat
tied for the right,
And tho no blare of trumpets or roll Of drum is
heard,
Good women, the world over, are an army of
the Lord.
Good women save the nation, tho they bear not
sword nor gum
Their panoply is righteousness; their will with
Gods as one
Each in her single person revealing God on
earth
Knowing that so, and only so, is any life OF
worth
Dost talk of womans weakness! l tell you that
this hour
The weight OF this world future depends upon
their power
And down the track of ages as times flood
tides are told,
The level OF their height is marked by the place
that women hold.

DECLARED OFF.

We've plighted troth; the day is set;
There is no fairer bride than she,
Than l no fonder lover, yet
That match is destined not to be.
An awful bar is in the way,
For though I've wealth in goodly store
And can not fear rainy day.
Her name is Rich, and my names Poor
Why did never think of this
To save her from SO dire fate
And from lifelong wretchedness?
For she was reared in high estate.
How very dreadful would 1t be
For one so gentle to endure
The taunts of those who'd say that she,
Who once was Rich, had welded Poor
Then "a Poor Rich Affair" we'd see
In every paper and the wits
Would set to punning busily,
The public laughing at their hits;
I'll call the invitations in,
However much must deplore,
I'd rather, just to save the din,
Shed still be Rich and I'd be Poor.
