THE PATIENT LIFTED.

and observe with much interest the ex-
cellent drill the men gave under the
charge of the post surgeons. At one place
would be seen two men binding a rifle to
a leg supposed to have been broken; an
other place, two men attempting to re-
suscitate by means of artificial respira-
ton man supposed to have been drown
ed, while others were drilling in the diff
ferent ways of carrying wounded man,
either singly over the back or upon the
two-handed seat made by two men; lift
ing a patient to place him upon litter;
carrying loaded litter up or down stairs,
and, finally, loading an ambulance or in
the use of the travois, which consists of
a frame having shafts, two side poles and
two crossbars, upon which litter may
be rested and partly suspended
When in use a horse or mule is attach
ed to the shafts and pulls the vehicle,
the poles of which drag on the ground.
One pole is slightly shorter than the
other, in order that in passing obstacles
the shock may be received successfully
by EACH and the motion be equally dis
tributed. The hospital or ''red cross am
bulance, as it is termed in the army, on
account of it's having a red cross (the
Geneva CROSSE painted on each side, is adj
mirably adapted for the transport Of dis
abled men. 1t is four-wheeled vehicle,
and is drawn by two horses. 1t provides
TRANSPORTATION for eight men sitting or two
recumbent on litters, or four sitting and

one recumbent. 1t is fitted with removal
BILE seats, which, when not used as such,
are hung two against each side, thus an
swering the purpose of cushions. Be
meath the drivers seat is box for the
medical and surgical chests, and under the
body are two water tanks. To the aver
age person who may witness drill of the
hospital corps the work performed by the
men may seem easy, but such is not the
case. 1t is no doubt the perfect way in
which the duties are performed that gives
this false impression, for practice has
made them perfect. In the small matter
of picking UP wounded man and placing
him upon a litter much practice is neces-
sary in order that the wounded man
may be given as little pain as possible.
To the injured man the slightest move
ment may cause excruciating pain.
The chief aim, then, in carrying him,
whether by litter, over the back, upon
seat of two hands or by ambulance, is to
do so with gentleness and care. and to
accomplish these results constant instruc-
tons and frequent drills are necessary

Whistler's Advice.

Once Rossetti asked Whistler how he
liked a sketch he had made for pic
ture. 1T has good points was the
answer; Ego ahead with it." A few
weeks later he was asked about the
picture. Doing famously," said Ros-
setti; "I've ordered a stunning frame
for it." Some time later Mr.. Whistler
saw the canvas, framed, but still vir-
Gin of paint-brush or paint. you've
done nothing to it, said Mr.. Whistler.
NO" replied Rossetti, "but I've writ
ten a sonnet on the subject. If you
would care to hear it, When the reci-
tation was over. Mr.. Whistler said:
.Rossetti. take out the canvas and put
the sonnet in the frame"

ADDlauded Too Soon.

DR.. Holmes was a master Of the art
of so arranging a discourse as to take
his hearers by surprise. What they did
to fall from them. On one memorable
occasion they were struck with aston
ishment as they found themselves in a
rhetorical ambush, lured by the verbal
skill of the master. The occasion was
the opening of the new building of the
Harvard Medical School in the autumn
of 1883, when DR.. Holmes delivered a
lecture before the faculty and govern
ment of the college and Il large au-
dience In the January Scribner's DR..
Thomas Dwight describes the scene,
wherein all the audience were aston
ished, and a part mentally paralyzed.
The question of admitting women to
the medical school had been debated,
and the new movement had been de-
feated, through the opposition Of great
majority of the faculty. DR.. Holmes
had inclined to the losing side. On this
occasion, after speaking in his most
perfect style on woman as nurse, he
concluded:
81 have always felt that this was
rather the vocation of woman than gen
eral medical. and especially surgical,
practice" This was the signal for loud
applause from the conservative side.
When he could resume he went on:
"Yet l, myself, followed the course
of lectures given by the young Madame
Lachapelle in Paris, and if here and
there an intrepid woman insists on tax
ing by storm the fortress of medical
education, would have the gate flung
open to her, as if it were that of the cit
adel of Orleans, and she were Joan of
Arc returning from the field of victory"
The enthusiasm which this sentiment
called forth was so overwhelming that
those of us who had led the first ap-
plause felt, perhaps looked, rather fool
ish. I have since suspected that DR..
Holiness who always knew his audi
ence, had kept back the real climax to
lure us to our destruction.

The Dirhton .Writing Rock"

At Dighton, Mass, lying well out in
the tidewater Of Taunton River, is Il
rock of great antiquarian interest. 1t
is a granite bowlder about II feet long
and feet in greatest height. and is
known throughout New England as
the "Dighton writing rock" One
side of the bowlder is almost perfectly
smooth, as though worn by glacial ac-
ton. On the fiat surface, in clear-cut
outlines, are dozens Of characters, HER
oglyphics and pictures chiseled by some
prehistoric engrayer. Tho archaeolo-
gists have never been able to decipher
these characters, but they are of UNI
doubted antiquity.-St. Louis Republic.

ICE CREAM SODA IN LONDON.
Has Only Been Recently Introduced,
but 1t Has Become a Craze.


but 1t Has Become a Craze.
'The ice-cream soda craze, which
American women have had so badly
for the last few years, has broken out
in London" said traveller recently re-
turned from abroad. 'It hasn't got a
firm clutch on the English women vet.
but it is growing rapidly, and | ex-,
pect that in the course of a few years
it will materially aid in the disappear
ance of the beautiful English complex
ion for which women Of the old coun-
try are famous An American confec-
toner is responsible for the production
of the ice-cream soda in London. Be
fore he settled in place in upper Re
gent street the deadly mixture was
practically unknown in that great city.
The few English women who had been
to this country and tasted it here of
course knew what it was, and they lost
no time in patronizing the confec-
toner.
"The great mass of women, however,
looked aghast at the combination OF
strawberry syrup, live soda water, aud
ice-cream. Those who got up enough
courage to tackle it were not sorry that
they had done so, and the result was
that it soon became necessary for other
confectioners in the neighborhood to get
soda fountains and learn how to mix
the drink in order to hold their trade.
There are now half a dozen or more
places in London where ice-cream soda
is sold, and all day the fountains are
surrounded by women. The scene re-
minds one very much of any one of
our uptown confectionery shops on a
hot afternoon. l expect it will not be
very long before the English women
will become as devOut WOrShipers at the
ice-cream soda shrine as are our Amer
lean women at the present day. Here
tofore the chief diversion of the English
woman out shopping has been to eat
ices and cake or drink chocolate, but
predict the entire disappearance of this
fashion in a very short time. Ice
cream soda has never failed to get a
deadly clutch on the women of any
country where it has settled, and it will
be funny if it does not make complete
conquest of the Londoners."

SCHOOLS NEEDED.

The importance of higher standard
Of scholarship, as well as an increase
in the number Of schools, and exten-
sion Of the annual scholast;c term,
Especially in the country schools) is
quite Obvious to all who feel interested
in the cause If education.
The most discourasing feature in
Southern education at present is the
utter want of adjustment or system
This whole question has an impor-
tance with regard 10 both economy
and efficiency extending far beyond
the limits Of the subject here assigned.
True teachers are continuous learu-
ers and as this is an age OF progress,
to keep step with the times, teachers
should meet with other members OF
the profession, to exchange ideas; else
they will not have that power in their
scheol-rooms and communities that
they should command. In the dull
routine Of work they are apt to be-
come disheartened; to lose sight OF
the nobility of their profession. Hence
the importance of punctusl attendance
upon all literary meetings to ht them
for such an important work and Sc
cure the best results in developing the
mind Of the young.
Thoughts shut up want air, and
spoil, like bales unopened to the sun.
Had thought been all sweet speech
had been denied;
Speech! thoughts canal;
SpeechI thoughts criterion too.
Thoughts in the mine may come
forth gold or dross;
Thought, too, delivered is the more
possessed.
Teaching, we learn, and giving we
retain the births of intellect.
Speech veniilates our intellectual
fire; speech Furnishes our mental
magazine; brightens for ornament
and whets for use.
IT'S thoughts exchange, which Ike
the alternate push Of waves conflicting
breaks the learned scum and DELEGATES
the students standing pool.
The public is quick to perceive
whether or not teacher is an earnest
professional, or car.css time-se ve::
The school officials and teachers should
strive to secure the hearty cooperation
of the patrons of the respective schools
in order to accomplish the object IN
| view.
The idea of allowing those Of the
pupils of our county, whs are hnan-
ciaily unable to attend private schools,
only an annual attendance Of three
months, is quite reppguant to the mind
Of true philantbronist.
Helplessness and thriftlessness re-
cruit the ranks of the vicious and de-
praved, mock the efo'ts of both phi
lanthropy and criminal law to sup
press them, and we find ourselves
face to face with the solemn fact that
