THERE has been much said about re-
form in funerals in the interest of those
forced to economic. and to whom the
ordinary expensive parade is burden.
A step in this direction is being taken i'll
some of the Eastern cities. in dispensing
with the procession to the grave. The
ceremonies are held at the residence at
night, and the intermeut the next day is
strictly private. The undertakes do not
like it, as it reduces their consequence
and business. 1t may become the prev
alent style, as it will save time and ex-
posure to the friends.

THAT CONSUMPTION CURE.

Whether the Koch cure for consump-
ton is one of the fads that occasionally
get into scientific places as well as else
where. and will follow host of ephem-
eral sensations, or is the greatest medi-
cal discovery of the times, can be more
definitely stated little later. Skepti-
cism finds strong point in the state
ment that DR.. Koch has been an obscure
physician in village so unimportant
that it Is hardly known at distance.
There have, however, been several i'm
pOrtant discoveries made by men who
had little notOriety previously. 1t would
be surprising if the erudite scientists who
failed to make the discovery should not
be severely critical, and, perhaps, rather
hopeful that their acumen has not been
discounted. Still, the evidence seems
to accumulate that it does accomplish
good results in an important class of
cases. Final conclusions, however, are
not likely to be reached soon.

New Hospital.

The Red Cross hospital has been dis
continued, and new hospital has taken
it's place. The new one is designated the
Home Hospital" and is under the
management Of Cheney & Westgate. 1t
is admirably located In the fine and CON-
Portable residence on Second street, near
Washington avenue, and adjoins the
residence of Mr.. Beebe.
The new hospital building is very CON-
plete in in its arrangements, and Is ad-
mirably located. The rooms are heated
with furnace. The light used will be
the electric, and there will be every con-
venience for making the sick and injured
comfortable. There are bath rooms, a
fire place, and comfortable and CHEEKY
looking well lighted bedrooms. In the
lower story Is fine room which will be
used as an Office. The rooms on the
lower story to the left will be used by
Mr.. and Mrs. Westgate. The residence
in fact, as far as regards comforts and
conveniences, is equal to any in the city,
and it is not often that hospital patients
are 80 fortunate In securing such home
like quarters.
A ticket which will entitle person to
be admitted to the hospital reads as fol-
lows:
"This is to certify that Mr..................
...... has paid So, which entities him to
admission and treatment in the Home
hospital, Alpena, Michigan, at any time
during one year from date hereof, In con.
sequence of wounds or sickness disabling
him from manual labor. Contagious,
chronic and venereal diseases are except
ed from this contract"
The medical staff consists OF Drs. A.
Wilkinson andJ. D. Dunlop. The hospi.
tai is not wholly devoted to patients who
have tickets Of admission, but other sick
or disabled persons will be admitted at
reasonable rates.
The yearly fee charged those who buy
tickets is so small that every young man
In the city, who has not home, should
purchase ticket. 1t is a good invest
ment for the homeless ones, and 1t is
their duty to provide for the future by
putting themselves In position 80 that
in case Of sickness or disability they will
not become burden on their friends OF
the community.
From what we know personally OF
Messrs Cheney and Westgate, we can
assure the people that those who attend
the new hospital will receive the best OF
care and the kindest treatment. II will
be home in every respect as far as such
can be made.

New Flax Cleaning Machine.

For some time past Alexander Morri-
son has had his working model Of the fax
machine, he recently invented, set up In
shop in rear Of his residence, on Lock-
wood street, and has operated 1t In order
to show how we'll it breaks the fax and
cleans the fibre from Its straw center.
The machine is success, and is also
very simple, being free from complicated
gearing. The machine not only does as
much work as several of the fax clean
ing machines now in use, but does so
with less men, and with great saving
of fax. The waste Is not half as great
with Mr.. Morrison's machine as with the
best fax machines now in use. His
machine therefore costs less to operate
it; does more work, and saves larger
per centage Of fax than any other ma
chine now in use.
The operation is simple. Flax is fed
on an endless chain, made of pointed
links. 1t is then pounded by machinery,
which breaks the straw center from the
flax fibre. Then 1t is seized by simple
but ingenious piece Of machinery, and
held firmly until the buffer wheels, four
in number, thoroughly remove the brok.
en- straw from the fax fibre. The flax
comes out at one end beautifully cleaned.
With the machines now used, there is no
way Of holding the fax so it can be clean.
ed, except by hand, a slow and wasteful
process. Mr.. Morrison's machine does
all the work quickly, cheap, and with but
small waste, as compared with other
machines.

This month the Masonic societies OF
this city will end their work in their old
temple In the Bolton a McRae block, on
Dock street, and 1t is likely that the first
regular communication Of the various
Masonic lodges will be held in their new
temple In the Masonic block, Second
street. The Masons first occupied the
upper story Of the Bolton a. McRae block
in 1871, and have worked there up to
date. The rooms are well adapted for
society purposes, and 1t is probable that
some other society will engage the rooms
before long.

No doubt our readers have heard con-
siderable in regard to the great consump-
ton cure OF DIR. Koch. The curative
lymph has been analysed by eminent sci
entists and was found to consist Of the
following common ingredients, as our
many readers will readily see. The an
alysts, after stating what it did not con-
tain, say, "only the abundant presence OF
proteid substances, partly belonging to
the class of peptones and partly toxal-
DUNES and enzins, or non-organized fer
ments, could be diagnosed" How SIM
pie, only common peptones, toxalbumes
and enzlns compose the wonderful cure
for the dreadful disease.
