A y Interesting book has been CON-
A piled by a former nurse, Mary
Il AG. Holland, wherein many inter-
esting stories of the lives of army
nurses are told by themselves. 1t was
a happy thought which inspired her.
And she takes hold Of the sympathies
of her feminine readers at once by tell
ing she spirit wherewith she met Miss
Dix's order. She had heard her "call'
TO go TO war as n nurse. and had tried
TO enlist under Miss Abbie May and

Miss DiX's circular read: "No wo-
man under so years need apply to serve
in government hospitals. All nurses
are required TO be very plain-looking
women. Their dresses must be brown
CT black, with no bows, no curls, no
jewelry and no hoopskirts." The
Quaker Dorothea Dix little knew what
heroism the last phrase in that order
demanded. Thus the nurse summoned

PREPARING TO LEAVE.
In n Short While Washington Will
Have Lost the CIeve1ands.


At the White House the President and
his assistants are packing their trunks.
Large boxes are filled with books and
papers which are the Presidents or Mrs.
Cleveland's private property. These will
be sent to Princeton. When the morning
IF March 4 comes there will remain only
few trunks, and these will accompany
Mr.. Cleveland, then again an cxPresi
lent, and Mrs. Cleveland to their new
home. Mr.. Cleveland, by the way, has
lever seen the property at Princeton
which is to be his future residence. Mrs.
Cleveland selected it, and the President
said he was perfectly content TO trust TO
her judgment.
The Presidents summer home in the
suburbs of Washington will be offered for
sale, and no doubt a good price will be
received for it, Notwithstanding the dull
times in Washington real estate. This
property lies nearer the city than Red
Top, in which Mr.. Cleveland lived dur
ing the latter part of his first term, and
which he sold TO a syndicate at profit of
lbout 100000. The syndicate lost money
IN the venture, very few of the lots hav-
ng been sold.
Mr.. Cleveland now OWNS three homes.
)ne in Washington. one ut Princeton aud
one at Buzzards Bay. The total of his
wealth is estimated by those who know
something about it at $1,000,O00. When
he came TO Washington he was not worth
more than $4,000 or $4,000 But Mrs.
Cleveland has come into considerable
and the President has been for
tunate in his investments.
During the eight years of presidency
he has drawn 100000 from the Govern
nent, and of this he has saved at least
,ne-half perhaps more. He has not spent
as much money during the second admin
Istration as he did during the first. All
his entertainments have been of an mex
pensive sort. The three houses which Mr..
Cleveland owns are said to be worth about
100000, and besides these he and Mrs.
cleveland own about 100000 worth of
real estate.
The President will live in Princeton
Turing the winter and at Buzzard's Bay
N summer. He will practice law in New
ork City as advisory counsel. He is not
going on n tour around the world.

PHTHiSIS NOT CONTAGIOUS.

New Ynrlr Rnnrd of Health,

Doctors Condemn the Action of the
New York Board of Health.
The action of the New York Board TO
Health in directing that all cases of con-
sumption be registered and treated like
| diphtheria, measles and contagious dis
Eases, has aroused the indignatio of New
York physicians generally. They are al
most a unit in their condemnation of the
action and the opinion of one is practically
that of all.
DR.. Robert Hunter, who has made a
speciality of treating pulmonary diseases
for fifty years. and who says he has treat
I'd or observed $4,000 cases, said: 81 can
not find words with which to express my
Indignation at the Board of Health for
this foolish action, which will do no good
and more harm than any one can contem-
plate. To begin with, consumption is not
communicable disease. History shows
this. There never was a case that was
contracted by contact with another case.
The germ is not given off by the person
suffering from the disease. 1t is in the
air.
1T used to be believed that the disease
was hereditary Weak lung tissue runs
in families, and a person with weak lungs
Of course will succumb more readily to
The disease, as the air he breathes is filed
with the germs of tuberculosis. 1t is but
Elk years since the existence of the germ
was discovered, and now the Board of
Health proposes TO break up 10000 fami-
lies and isolate that number of individ
nails to experiment with that of which
they can know but little. They say they
intend to isolate the more dangerous
rases only, but who is to decide which
cases are the more dangerous cases? 1t
is simply a plan to put away 10000 in
hustrious, ambitious people who are
benefit to society and whose presence in
the community can do no harm. They
are to be separated from humanity for
ever. Even those who are permitted to
remain in the community will suffer as
much as those who are isolated.
Think Of the workingman branded as
pest distributor. What can he do! Who
will work beside him? Who will go into
his store? He cannot ride on the street
ears or go to church. They might just as
well isolate persons suffering from ring
worm. If your skin is healthy you can
not have a ringworm on your face. If it
is not healthy the germ of the ringworm
that is everywhere in the air will estab-
lish itself in the skin just as the germ of
consumption will establish itself in the
weak or diseased lung tissue, whether you
are in a sick room or a pine forest. There
is as much consumption in the country us
in the cities, and persons who never come
in contact with consumptives are as liza
bic to the disease as are nurses in hos
pitals for consumptiyes.
'1n decreeing consumption contagious,
like smallpox, and decreeing measures
looking to the Imprisonment of those af-
Hicted with it in pest houses, the New
York Board of Health inaugurates war
of determination, not against consump-
ton, but against consumptives, and COM
mits the most farreaching invasion of
personal liberty ever attempted by any
medical organization since the founda-
ton OF the art of medicine"
