DR.. Bernheim published the results OF

cities of the world as doctors OF surgery

tisng hypnotists in the large European

Roses for Pretty Girl.
New York Timea


A certain young man in New York
went out TO call the other evening upon
young woman Of his acquaintance
whom he especially delighted to honor.
He was quite young man and his ex-
perience with florists had been neither
deep nor varied. Ii occurred to him,
however on this particular evening to
stop at flower merchants and choose
some blossoms for the pretty girl toward
whose home he was vending his way.
Give me bunch of roses" no said
carelessly to the man Of nosegays.
Yes, sir; how many, please 2"
"Oh, couple of dozen or so.
In few moments they were ready,
and tho purchaser was feeling in his vest
pocket for two-dollar bill 10 pay for
them. "How much ?" he asked before
the ill made its appearance.
Eighteen dollars, sir" replied the
florists assistant, with what, his nearer
said aiterward, seemed diabolical glib
ness.
The young man felt giddy for mo-
ment. He had unwittingly selected
roses that were seyenty-fye cents apiece.
But, rs has been said, he. was very
Young and it seemed 10 him a very Sc
nous thing to 20 down before that flower
clerk. SO he paid his money and took
his bouquet. "And. no ssys, 81 spent
the next hour watching a pretty girl
nibble and chew up SIS worth Of roses. "

4 Hospital IL Also Needed.

RICHMOND, VA, December 10, 1890.
TO the Editor Of the D,sDdtch:
The necessity and expediency of APP
pointing physicians to attend the poor
of the city has been SO extensively dis
cussed in the past few months that IN
this brief article only few practical re-
marks are submitted in connection with
the subject. Charity is one of the great
est virtues that can Toe practiced, and
should the Council of our city deem 1t
wise and proper in their judgment to APP
point doctors for this purpose an ade-
quato sum Of money also should be ap-
propriated to perfect this charity. A
large majority of the poor are unable to
procure proper diet and nursing, which
are absolutely necessary for the success
ful treatment OF these patients. With
ont this assistance and aid the doctor,
however skilful and learned he may be
in his profession, will often fail to re-
store his patient 10 health and vigor.
Man cannot live on medicine alone.
The hygienic surrounding has n great
deal 10 do with the successful treatment
of maladies, and one OF the greatest
needs of ouT city 10 public hospital Tor
the treatment Of all acute diseases and
accidents which beiall many Of our
citizens who are not able to obtain
medical attention and proper diet and
nursing without being sent to the city
almshouse hospital as paupers.
The city almshouse was intended Tor
n certain class of our citizens-those who
are moi able to make IA livelihood Tor
themselves in consequence OF the ~
tir1nlties and the misfortunes incident to
this life, the most of whom need more
sustenance than medical treatment.
Every city IN the Union with popu-
lation ms large as Richmond has public
hospital. not only for the benefit OF their
citizens, but also for strangers who may
REQUIRE medical aid away from their
homes and friends. Many of our citl.
Gems favor such en- institution, which, II
properly managed and conducted, would
unduesiionably prove great blessing
10 thoee who are subject to the oils that
flesh is heir to, and reflect credit upon

THE LATEST FLYISG-MACHrSE.
Although the solution Of the problem
OF an effective mode OF flying by ma
chinery seems to be still afar OF, expert
ments are being systematically con-
Quoted both in England and this coun-
try which are gradually establishing a
number Of reliable data that may
ut some future time bring forth fruit
in the construction of practical ma
chine. Mr.. Hiram 5. Maxim has con-
structed tho most elaborate apparatus for
the series OF experiments, on which he
has for come years been engaged, and
has succeeded in determining tho elf
cheney of a screw working in air. the
amount of push developed by o screw,
the power required for propelling planes
through the air placed at different an
giles, as well as sundry frictlonal phe-
nomena, and sundry other details con-
nected with the subject.
He has succeeded in making motors
that will develop one-horse power for
every six pounds. He finds that 1873
pounds can be sustained in the air by the
expenditure Of one-horse power. He
also finds that for q successful flying ma
chine a speed OF at least thirty miles an
hour is necessary, fifty miles being still
more favorable to good work, and 100
miles on hour being well within the limit
OF possible developments in aerial loco
motion.
TO RILL OPP MOSQUITOES.
The offer made last year OF prize for
the best essay on method of destroying
the mosquito brought out large num-
Der of curious ideas on the subject. DR..
Lambcrns idea of artificially rearing
dragon flies for the purpose Of extermi-
mating flies and mosquitoes seems to
have met with little favor. Mr.. Weeks,
to whom prize was awarded, considered
that any attempt to destroy flies and
mosquitoes by the artificial propagation
of dragon flies or any other insect would
be impossible, unadvisable, and i'm
practicable
Various methods of destruction have
been proposed. among which are spray
ed petroleum (for the Larvae and pup@),
flushing and grading of land, cultiva-
ton Of fungoids, the employment of at
tracing lamps in the neighborhood Of
marshes, the rearing Of fish. and the en-
couragement OF water-iowls where fresh
water is abundant.
