Heroic Treatment OF Patients,

The hospital physician should be a
man of the most thorough methods and
the most extreme conservatism. He
should be chosen as much for his prac-
teal good sense as for, bis skill In dag
aosing disease. He should be a man
with intuitions and ought to be able to
decide almost at q glance whether q pa
tient is suffering from brain trouble or
alcoholism.
There have been of late great many
instances where this mistake has been
made, and it j. by no means creditable
to the hosp:S4l authorities when such
blunders are made.
One of the latest exploits Of hospi-
tai doctor was to order cold bath for a
consumptive patient who showed some
symptoms of hysteria. Shortly after the
bath the woman died. Just why doc
tor should order such treatment COM
mon sense as we'll as the medical pro.
fession would like very much to know.
Hospitals are in the main supported
by the people, and the people have q
right to good Treatment aud courtesy at
the hands of those who are put in
charge of such institutions Failing to
receive this, the public has also the
right to demand an investigation Of the
situation and to demand the punish

who are more intelligent and better fit.

not quite to the ground, nor was it over

upper row. in picot loops. On each side Of
the front breadth and covering up the
seams was a very intricate pyramidal de-
sign in marrow black soutache. The front
breadth was left untrimmed. There was
full blouse Of white satin, with black
chenille dots about as large as hall
q silver dime. An eton jacket was made
of the red cloth and had a rolling collar,
red on the outside and faced with the
satin. The sleeves were medium gigots,
and they and the jacket had close all oyer
design wrought In the soutache, oomplete-
" covering the red, allowing 1t to show
but rarely through the brniding. A point
ed belt went across the front, and this,
too, was braided. A red straw hat with
great tufts of black ostrich plumes COM
pleted this handsome costume. = ..,'',
Black and red, no matter how red, go
well together. A hat Of rough black braid
was trimmed with large bows and rosettes
of cherry red velvet and scarlet velvet
geraniums. That reminds me Of another
hat saw. There. were punches of Parma
violets and between them two close clusters,
of coral pink velvet geraniums. The hat
they trimmed was high crowned and made
still higher by long, stiff loops of black
ribbon Another hat Of black straw had
swide double box plating Of black tulle.

A violinist was playing various aira

not quite 10 universally as they have been.
They add quite little piquancy to an
otherwise plain gown. ] remember think
Ing that today ms was wandering around
the stores In search Of the picturesque.
The gown referred to was Of soft, frosty
ondet blue broadoioth, the skirt plain and
rather fuller than usual. The sleeves were
snug save for humplike pun at the top
The waist was laid in folds, both front
and back. In front there was a plastron
of rich dark enamel blue velvet, with
frosted silver buttons on each side Of the
top. There was q tulip leaf collar Of the
dark blue velvet and q stock of the same.
The belt and dropping cuffs were also Of
It. A jabot Of lace fell down the 'front.'
The dainty little figaro was of tho velvet,
with two lines Of narrow silver braid.
The richest and most tasteful gown I
saw anywhere was made Of ash gray Gre
pom, the skirt having footband Of bottle
green velvet, edged with narrow silver and
gilt tinsel braid, one row on each side.
There was g deep etOn jacket Of the crepon,
with q wide sailor collar In the back and

all bordered with the tinsel braid. The
sleeves were medium tight, with double
Topped pun at the top. The vest was made Of
fancy taffeta ribbon, pink, green and gray
edged with notohed silver braid. The hat
made and provided to wear with this ele-
giant suit was of mixed straw, green and
gray. The edge was fluted, and pretty
pink hepaticas were set in each flute. On
the crown was bunch of white heather
with pink hepaticas. 1t was, as one en-

Very lightweight mixed chevtot was the
material employed to develop another
really elegant outdoor and visiting cos
tune. The oolors were the soft heather
mixtures in broken lines and cloudy look.
The skirt was plain, but exquisitely made
and lined with changeable taffeta. The
belt was pointed and made Of dark prune
colored velvet. The waist was blouse
shaped, open in. front. The open edges had
a gold passementerie braid, and this con-
tinued on over the square, severe collar,
which was of the prune velvet. The cuffs
were pointed and of velvet trimmed like
the rest The vest was of white lace over
lilac satin. It would be- difficult to find q
more refined costume. The design could be

THE TURBINA.

"a
he steam turbine pattern. She was built
by a syndicate in order to test the engine
which had been invented by the Hon.
Charles Algcrnon Parsons, an engineer Of
high repute and the youngest brother Of
the Earl Of Ross In paper recently read
before the Institution of Naval Architects
Mr.. Parsons described the boat, tho expert
ments and the results which had been
achieved. While English and French
built torpedo boats have reached a speed
of over 81 knots an hour, they have
been craft Of from $50 to 800 feet In length
crd carrying massive engines which bring
,i.cir displacement up to 800 tons or over.
The Turbina, however, Is only 100 feet
over oil and of only AK tons displaoe-
ment. "@' - %''tzSS'
1t Is not upon her model, but upon her
engines, that tho new marine wonder de-
ponds for her marvellous speed. There ore
several turbine steam engines in use, but
none has ever before been used to- propel a
boat, because up to 1892 the turbine engine
consumed SO much steam in proportion to
the power developed that it was deemed
unavailable for marine purposes. Mr.. Par
sons succeeded in building turbine en-
CINE that not only furnishes rapid motion,
but economies steam. "
In the ordinary steam engine the rotary
motion is first obtained by attaching the
piston rod to an eccentric and then apply
ing it to the propeller shaft by gearing IN
which the thrust block playsan important
part. In the Parsons turbine engine tho
propeller shaft is run directly into the
steam cylinder and forms the axis Of the
steam turbine wheel. This does away
with tho jarring and vibration.
In the first experiments 1t was found
that the new engine revolved the propeller
with such goat rapidity that the blades
literally bored hole in the water. This
resulted in loss of speed, and it was not
until the experiment. of revolving three
propellers at once was tried that the re.
lnarkable speed was attained. The expert
ments are still being conducted, for it is
alleged that the limit Of speed has not yet
been reached.

born at Beaurevoir, q village in the neigh
borhood Of ST. Quentin, in the Aisne, on
Nov. 10, 1853. Hanging in the luxurious
apartments which he now occupies on the
Boulevard st. German Is photograph of
the modest little cottage which he left
when he went to Paris to study law. At
the capital he was introduced to Gambetta,
who took an interest In him and gave him
q place in the department of archives
There he soon became chief clerk and IL
was while occupying that position that he
undertook to write the history Of Richelieu.
This task occupied bis spare moments for
is years. It involved an immense amount
Of labor, which shows what an untiring
worker he Is.
When Gambetta became premier, he made
Hanotaux subchief of his cabinet and he
filled the same Office under other minis
tiers. Then be went into the diplomatic
service, being appointed councillor to the
French embassy at Constantinople. This
was his first cnd only experience of life in
any land but his own, for Hanotaux has
never been q traveller. He returned home
to enter more actively into politics by
standing a. candidate for the chamber of
deputies. He was elected and served for
one term, but In 1889. when he sought re.
election, conditions had changed. He op-
posed the Boulangists and was defeated
after hot campaign.
It was not long, however, before he was
called to enter the cabinet and became
minister Of foreign affairs. In 1892 M.
Hanotaux was made premier to succeed
Casimir- Perier and since that time LIE has
remained constantly in charge with the ex-
oeption Of Q period Of six months during
which the Radicals were in power.
