he makes-and this is perhaps as good
rs any in the case of mothers-let them
leave their children at home or check
them in the proper place as so much

prostration of their own energies and
the irritation of Others. Again, let ali
very aged and infrm people remain at

ton, contentment of mind, full ap-
probation Of all they see, and let them
restrain any and every desire to kick.

The British ship Hyderabad arrived
recently at San Francisco from Swan
seq after q most eventful voyage Of
272 days Captain D, F. B. Scott has
his two daughters with him, and both
the young ladies assert that they
never want TO make n similar trip.
This is the Hyderabad's maiden Mt
tempt, and Captain Scott is quoted as
saying he hopes he will never have n
similar experience out of her. After
being launched and fitted ont the
Hyderabad was loaded with coal Of
Swansea and started for San Fran

when the ship ran into storm. The
stanchions gave way, boats were
smashed, the galley was washed over
board. the cabin was flooded, and
finally the cargo shifted. While the
ship was lying on her beam ends, the
foretopgallant mast went by the
board, and it looked as though the ship
was doomed 1t was regular Cape
Horn weather, and the men were al
most dead from cold, In spite of the
fact that death was imminent, the
Captain S daughters were not dismayed.
They made coffee over the coal oil
stove in the cabin and served it to the
half-frozen men whenever an oppor-
tunity occurred.
The men assert that many times the
Young women made their way for
ward when ladders, pieces of boats
and hencoops were all awash. The
gale lasted nearly a week, and then
contrary winds were met. Captain
Scott was about to give up in despair
and start for San Francisco via the
Cape of Good Hope, when on October
18th it came on to blow again; all
the temporary yards we're blown away
and almost an entire suit of sails was
lost The weight of water that came
laundering on board bent the deck
beams and the vessel began to leak.
The cargo shifted again and Everybody
prepared for the worst.
A conference of the officers was
held in the cabin and it was decided
TO make for the Falkland Islands
The men we're exhausted by this time
and refused to work. Many Of them
we're sick md did not care whether
they lived or died. The Captain S
daughters went among them, bound

hot coffee into which the Captain put

to return to duty. Five days later

not able to be removed are kept there
until they can be removed, but
ordinarily affected persons are so
promptly and effectively treated that
they are able to be taken to their own
homes or elsewhere before nightfall.
During the earlier days of the expo
sltion, and before the present seating
accommodations were supplied, the
medical bureau had its hands full; on
one occasion 1S0 cases of prostration
from fatigue and other causes were
brought to the attention of the bureau
in one day. Since then the seating
accommodations Of the Fair have been
improved, visitors have been taught
not to overtax their energies, and not
to go to the Fair when not in excellent
physical condition, and the result Is
that applications for medical 0ssis-
tance have not been 50 numerous. On
the day when the Spanish Princess
visited the grounds, and when there
was an attendance of nearly 13O, 900
people. the day being very warm at

Gun.ShY Doqs.

A writer in Forest and Stream nd
vises the following as a good cure for
gun-shyness in dogs
Instead Of giving your pup his regl'
lar exercise, shut him up where he can
see all YOU do. In the morning fire
two ordinary charges in plain sight OF
him and open the inclosure for him to
come ont. Should he refuse, leave him
and close the gate OF door. Repeat
this daily without conying him and he
will soon come TO the gun. Should he
become frightened in the field, leave
him and he will soon look you up.
Paying too much attention 10 him will
only cause him 10 think that the shot
was fired for his benefit, and if left
alone he will soon come to his master,
especially if it is a kind one. Dogs
trained by kindness are tn most will.
ing workers, and unless YOU have a
good store Of patience don't attempt to
train q dog, for you may ruin a dog
that kindly but firmly handled would
be first class. The dog whip is a most
excellent thing properly used, as is
also the check cord, but either, if used
to excess, make sulky or cowardly dogs
of those which otherwise would be
cheerfully obedient
Commenting on the above, the Sport
ing Review adds As this fault in a
sporting dog, or, in fact, in any dog,
is most annoying, We think that trial
of the above plan may show better re-
suits than the common practice of
firing the gun and holding or dragging
the dog when he tries to run after the
report. Large hearted, courageous
pups will generally at the report of
gun or any unusual noise merely raise
their heads and crane their necks,
curious to know what the trouble is,
while the timid pup shoves his tail be-
tween his legs humps his back and
runs. Dogs intended for the gun
should be made accustomed to sudden
noise and the report of guns from the
time they leave the nest. Dogs that
would never show this fault, if so
treated, will skulk if they do not hear
gun before they are six or seven
months old.

port, Z. I. Edgerly and W R. Yeager.
These gentlemen are on duty day and
night, dividing the watches between
them SO that the hospital will never be
without medical attendance. There
are eight women nurses. These arc
supplied by the various hospitals in
the city. and arc on duty at the Fair
two weeks at q time. 1t is on excellent
plan of the hospitals for giving their
nurses change of sceno and an OPP
portunity to visit tho Fair. The hos
pital and medical bureau proper occupy
the whole of the first floor. The upper
floor is devoted to tho accommodation
of the physicians, nurses and other at
tendants. On the whole it is as COM
plete and thoroughly equipped IN
emergency retreat for the injured and
and afflicted as the skill of physicians
and the rules Of medical science could
devise.
In talking with the Herald repre-
sentative the other day DR.. Hillmantlc
observed that ii was pity that the
building and its equipment could not
be preserved for longer uso than that
involved in the period OF the Fair.
The doctor says, however, that they
have been pretty busy. They have
had one case of amputation, which was
the most serious operation performed,
but in minor surgical work they have
accomplished good deal, especially
during the construction, completion
and installation of the Fair, when so
many thousand workmen wero en-
ployed. Since the Fair has been prac-
tically complete there has been but
little surgical work. The present
work of the hospital is mostly in the
line of administering remedies for
prostration and fatigue.
The physicians have also to do the
ordinary medical treatment of the
many employees, and particularly, the
Columbian guards. The doctor laugh
ingly said that one-half their practice
comes from the Columbian guards and

The general public, unless com.
pletely prostrated, so much so that
they have to be brought to the hos
pital in an ambulance, are rarely seen
about the hospital. Few know any.
thing Of its existence, and unless seri-
ously i'll would not seek its benefits
anyhow. Those who are brought in
are usually country people, most of
them women who have been overcome
by the heat, excitement or fatigue.
But the physicians all say this cless of
patients is becoming fewer and fewer
in number. Doctor Hillmantle says
that the press has done a good work in
warning people from excess Of fatigue
and instructing them how to avoid il,
and he hopes that the people will re-
member all that has been said, for lie
anticipates with the advent Of ex.
cessiyely hot weather much greater &c.
tivity about the hospital. He advises
people most earnestly not to attempt
to do too much at the Fair when the
midday sun is blazing down; he ad.
vises the people, too, TO come to the
Fair early in the day and avoid the ex.
treme heat; he suggest, moreover, that
visitors confne themselves during the
excessively hot weather to the explora.
tion of as limited an area as possible.
and to avoid exposure 10 the sun
whenever it can be done.
The doctor makes another sugges-
tion which most people will agree
with, and that is if visitors must cover
as much space of ground in day as
they can, it should be done with quick
step. Don't loiter or saunter, but in
going from point to point move
quickly; when standing around an
exhibit stand still as much as posi-.
BILE, take it in with the eye rather than
with the feet. The doctor says that
nothing so quickly produces fatigue
as the constant and deliberate move.
ment of the body's weight from one
foot to the other; hence the slow,
sauntering walk which most people
practice at the Fair, tires them out
before they are conscious of it.
Move quickly, step lightly and keep
the centrifugal action of the legs con-
stantly in motion. These precautions.
the doctor says, with frequent rests Of
half an hour or SO, will enable one TO
spend q whole day at the Fair and come
home with a sound stomach aud in q
Christian frame of mine What is
more, by such methods thepeople will
avoid the hospital. Another thing
that the doctor suggests is a liberal
diet on the Fair grounds. Many peo-
pie come there after light breakfast,
they begin to get a little hungry, but
feel that it is too early to eat be-
sides, they do not see a convenient
place. Next they begin to get tired
and the hunger ceases; then they get
a headache, and from that point 70
complete collapse is not long dis
tance. The doctors advice is to eat
whenever the impulse appears, no mat
ter what you may be doing, and keep
on eating if you feel like it whenever
you come across place. Even bag

If visitor gets inside the hospital, he
or she has to come in a wagon orunder
escort of Columbian guard. It is to
be regretted in one sense that it is not
q show place, for it is certainly one of
the most interesting and inviting places
on the Worlds Fair Grounds. It is
cool and breezy; its main corridors
and reception parlors are decorated
with potted flowers and vines; cool
rattan furniture greets the eye on
every hand, and in two of the larger
apartments are long rows Of brass cots
clad with snow white linen. Fitting
about the halls are quiet and soft-step-
ping nurses in cool linen garments
and snow-white caps. There is an air
of stiffness about the whole place
which invites rest and conduces to
peace Of mind.
The medical bureau and hospital was
established by the Worlds Fair
managers to supply quick and prompt
medical attendance to all who might
need it among the vast throngs who
are expected to enter the gates. When
large gatherings of people assemble
there is plenty to do in the medical
bureau. Accidents happen, people
are overcome by fatigue; sudden i'll
ness appears often, which, while not
serious in the main, yet needs prompt
medical attention. The Worlds Fair
Hospital was especially designed for
prompt, but temporary attention. 1t
was not intended for cases involving
serious work of physicians, nor was it
established with q view to continued
treatment; it is simply place for the
