Hospitals, as we now understand the
term, are OF modern growth. True it is,
as Mr.. Burdett tells US in the historical
section of Hospitals and Asylums of the
World ~ that in the records Of Egypt and
ancient India we find allusions to institu-
tions that foreshadow the hospitals of later
times, and even our asylums for sick an
imals are borrowed from the east.
An inscription engraved on a rock near
the city of Surat tells how Asoka, king
who reigned in Gujerat in the third cen
tury b. c., commanded the establishment
of hospitals in all his dominions and
placed one at each Of the four gates of the
royal city of Patna. Six hundred years
after this Fa-Hian, an intelligent Chinese
traveller who visited India in 800 A D.,
records that Asoka's hospitals still existed
and lourished, but the successive floods Of
conquest swept all away, and by the be-
ginning of this century only a hospital for
animals remained of all the pious kings
foundations.-Q Quarterly Review.

Burglars made an unsuccessful attempt to
blow open the safe in the Reading railroad
station early yesterday morning The depot
stands fifty ards from any dwelling, so the
men went TO work without fear of inter
ference. They gained an entrance to the
Office by throwing the weight of their bodies
against the doors, the locks giving way like
punk. They next went TO work ON the safe
door, soaping its edges and boring hole in
the face that would admit a lead pencil
Through this hole powder was sifed and a
lighted squib inserted. When the fire
reached the powder there was an explosion
that tumbled big edpers out of their case,
but the door remained unopened The ex-
plosion had forced the inner portion of the
door to fall inward, doing no particular
damage TO anything else. When the agent
arrived at seven o'clock the door was quite
warm, The only tool left by the cracksmen
was q small pocket knife.

The Story Of the Work.

A lover of pictures, man of MEANS
ma king a tour of the art galleries of the
world, realized that the luxury of seeing
all these beauties was limited to the very
wealthy, and to them only by wearisome
and expensive travelling aud time. ''Why
not in the present age of perfect photogra-
phc reproduction, why not reproduce
the most beautiful, the most popular, the
most noted of these art treasures ?" was
the question he asked himself. Why
not indeed; no sooner thought of than
he applied his means and prestige to
secure large photographs Of the choice
pictures.
Ths result is MASTERPIECES FROM
THE ART GALLERIES OF THE WORLD"
The original idea was to issue the book
in parts just as is now being done; but to
charge 50. so part or $4,000 in all.
Now, a syndicate OF newspaper pub
fishers has purchased the photographs
and plates and is issuing them 20 "BOom
Calculation"
Now, every one may have this magni-
ficent work which was originally intended
for the rich mans palace
Such is the force of nineteenth century
invention, machinery enterprise, and
desire for circulation.

Did we steal Them ?

No, the man who suggested that we
must have stolen these Masterpieces Of
Art was mistaken; we paid good
money for them and we are Icing re-
paid by the thanks of our readers, and
by the efforts they are making to
spread our circulation. They are the
best kind of canvassers, and are doing
their work well. Out of town readers
will forward their coupons and ten
cents and address to this office, and
we will have the part sent them by
mail from New York. Local readers
should hand in the coupons and ten
cents at this Office and take the part
home with them, II possible bring a
friend along, so that he may see what
good thing 1t is.

An Art Gem

Every one who has seen the first part
Of Masterpieces from the Art Galleries
Of the World" acknowledges its beauty
and value, and they wonder how
we can afford to give;it away as we do.
They do not realize that securing more
readers, regular subscribers, is the
great aim of every publisher and that
he is willing to spend great deal of
money in doing it. This system costs
us very little more than the employ
ment oFexpensive canvsssers and itisa
much more pleasant way Everybody
is thankingu us for what we are doing.
Our old subscribers feel that we are
doing a friendly act and in return they
are inducing thousands of new ones to
start in with us. For this fret part,
one coupon and ten cents is all that we
require, for further parts six coupons
and ten cents will he asked. That
will compel the new men to take the
paper regularly every day. That is
the why in q nutshell.
