"THE WIND THAT BLOWS"

whichever way the wind doth blow,
Some heart Is glad to have 1t so,
Then blow II east or blow It west,
The wind that blows, that wind is best
My little craft sails not alone
A thousand fleets from every zone
Are out upon thousand seas,
And what for me were fayoring breeze
Might clash another with the shock
OF doom, upon some hidden rock.
And so do not dare to play
For winds TO wait me on my way,
But leave me to u higher will
TO stay or speed me, trusting still
That all Is well, and sure that He
Who launched my bark will sail with me
Through storm and calm. and will not fail
Whatever breezes may prevail,
To land me, every peril past.
Within His sheltering heaven at last.
Then, whatsoever wind doth blow,
My heart Is glad to have 1t so.
And blow II east or blow 1t west,
The wind that blows, that wind IL best.

Cheap Electric Light.

In spite of the fact that Chicago is
generally associated with the idea of
municipal ownership in the considera-
tion of all questions of public light.
ing, 1t is fact that the city depends
upon central station companies for
considerable current to operate street
lights, particularly in the southern
part of the city. Two of the com.
panies, the Peoples Electric Light
and Power company and the HYDE
Park Electric Light and Power COM
pany, have been engaged in a spirited
rate'cutting war for some time. and
wherever the lines of both companies
were to be found the people secured
their service at a very small cost. The
city controller, becoming cognizant of
this fact, determined to secure some
advantage for the city, and he has
accordingly asked both companies to
bid upon the city lighting for the
district which they occupy. -westsrn

The position is taken by DIR. Nc
Burney, in the London Medical News,
that there really is no medical cure
for appendicitis, even though some
cases recover without operation he
considers, too, that, though appendi-
citis is surgical disease, yet opera
ton may not be necessary in every
case, the fact being that this ailment is
stoppage of the drainage from the
appendix to the colon, and preliminary
treatment is often worse than useless.
Thus the opium treatment relieves
pain and discomfort, but entirely masks
the symptoms at a most important
time, for it is in the first twenty-four
hours from the beginning of the at
tack that physicians can decide not
only as to the diagnosis, but as to the
result and course probably of the case.
If, for instance, there is no increase
in urgency in five or six hours, the pa
tient is not in immediate danger if
kept at perfect rest in bed; on the
other hand, if in twelve hours there is
still no increase in the severity of the
symptoms, the patient should begin to
improve. But, if the urgency of the
case has steadily increased in twelve
hours from the time when the diagno-
sis was made, an operation will prob
ably be called for. After two attacks.
patient is sure to have a third, and
each attack renders operation more
difficult and dangerous all the advan-
tages lie with operation between the
attacks, and in an operation during
an acute attack the prognosis is worse.

The news-gatherers who give US
frequent symposiums upon the we'll
worn theme, "Why people don't go
to church," might we'll afford to take
up the opposite inquiry. Why do
people 60 to church? 1t costs moth
ing to stay away from church, but it
costs upwards of $75, O00,00 year
in the states to 60 to church, beside
about $40, 900, 900 q year collected in
the church to give away. And yet
there are upwards of 20, 900, 900 in the
churches at every principal service on
the Lords Day. The alienation of
"the masses" from the church has
been greatly exaggerated; and as long
as it is susceptible of proof that church
membership is on the increase it can
hardly be accepted that church attend.

Why should not staff of servants
be organized to do, at any rate, the
rougher part of the, domestic service
in, say, fifty or q hundred federal
households, just in the same way that
single staff could be organized to
cook their meals? Why should 1 not
pay 80 much year, either to bona
fide cooperative society, or to private
Spectator, to have my beds made, my
floors scrubbed, my knives and boots
cleaned, and other similar work per-
formed at stated hours every day and
every week? An agency organized to
to do this service would fill great
domestic want.

Insisted on Her Rights,

The Duchess of Aosta, who is close
ly related to the King of Italy, is a
woman with a distinct mind of her
own. When she first began to cycle
the king gave orders that she should
not be saluted by a sentry as she rode
by on her wheel. Obedient to the
royal command, the first sentry ig-
nored her presence, whereupon the
duchess quietly dismounted and boxed
the mans ears. Now, however, the
omnipotent cycle rules the court of
Italy, just as it does all the other
courts in the world, and the sentry
salutes the royal family as it goes
wheeling by.

According to the Northwestern
Lumberman, one of the favorable
signs of improved conditions in gen.
eral business is the new demand
which has arisen for railroad and car
building material. Reports from the
yellow pine mills in the South, from
the Norway pine mills of Manistee
and other points in Michigan, from
the oak mills and markets of the lower
Mississippi valley, and from the fir
mills of the Pacific northwest, are re-
plete with mention of the large amount
of car stills, ear oak, track oak, and
lumber for car siding, roofing, deck.
ing, ETC., that are being ordered for
the railroad shops and car factories
OF the country. Now that this de-
mand has already swelled to good
proportions, and promises to enlarge
and continue for u year or two, it is
evident that it will be n contribution
to the Roadway that the lumber bust.
ness has made within three months.

Trees and Men.

A single tree, according to compu-
tation in knowledge, is able, through
its leaves, to purify the air from the
carbonic acid arising from the respira-
ton of u considerable number of men,
perhaps dozen or even a score. The
volume of carbonic acid exhaled by O
human being in twenty-four hours is
put ct about 100 gallons; but by
Boussingault's estimate, single
square yard of leaf.surface, counting
both the upper and under sides of the
leaves, can, under favorable circum.
stances, decompose at least q gallon
of carbonic acid in day. One hun.
dred square yards of leaf-surface then
would suffice to keep the air pure for
one man, but the leaves of tree of
moderate size present surface of
many hundred square yards.
