A Military Hospital I'm japan.

Surg. Gen. Sternberg has recommended
to the Secretary of War that a military
hospital for convaiescents for the army
of the Philippines be established at Ma
gasaki, Japan, on plot of ground to be
selected in the foreign reservation.
1t is proposed to give Gen. Otis authority
to establish this hospital should he needsit,
as the sick will recover in the climate of
Nagasaki more quickly than at Manila.
The foreign reservation is piece of
ground donated by Japan for foreigners,
and there is already established there a
naval hospital where several men from the
navy are being cared for.

TWO CURIOUS RIVERS.
The Nile Very Different from the Eu-
pirates in Every Way.

pirates IN Every way
From the beginning the Nile was an
exceptional river. Its sources were
unknown. There were those who
thought that the Nile flowed down
from heaven; that it welled up from
streams that disappeared under the
earth on another continent, or, at the
very least, that it's springs were in
accessible to man. There was no such
mystery about the Euphrates, says the
Philadelphia Press. From the remot-
est times its sources seem to have been
known by hearsay, if not by observa-
ton, to the jewellers on the coast. The
Nile was benefcent even in its foods.
The people learned to let its waters
flow over their lands at the time of
the inundation and where they raised
bikes and sunk canals and basins it
was to let in the water, not to keep
1t out. The Euphrates also had its
floods, but these were destructive. They
SCARED the soft earth with ravines and
swept the fertile soil onward to build
new lands along the edge of the Per-
sian gulf. The people anticipated the
overflow with dread and their most alb
sorbing task was to restrain the river
within bounds. They became more in
innate with the earth than their Egyp-
ton contemporaries. They learned how
to mold the clay and make their houses
and the houses of their kings and their
gods out of the material under their
feet. The Egyptians learned something
about brick manufacture, but they had
no need to depend wholly upon that
sort of building material. 1t was easy
for them to obtain stone, as their huge
piles attest.

WHEN THE HEART is HEAVY.

Flight Against Allowing Yourselves to BE
Submerged by Personal Griefs.
There is always remedy for a
heavy heart writes Ruth Ashmore in
the Ladies' Home Journal. 1T may be
in work-it oftenest is. 1t may be In
thinking out the joys that have been
given to you, and the sorrows from
which you have been saved. 1t may be
in helping others by sympathy, or in
whatever way help is most needed.
But the heavy heart can always be
made light if self is forgotten, and the
needs of others are remembered, and,
as far as possible relieved. Not one
of us can learn to become light-hearted
in day, or a week, or month, or a
year, for it is the lesson of life, this
knowing how to lift our hearts up and
give from them help unto those who
are in need. 1t is good fight-this
one against allowing ones self to be
submerged in personal griefs-it is a
good fight, and out of it you can come
conqueror If you will. Do you intend
to give up the fight and fall by the
wayside overcome by heavy heart, or
to go along through life as brave wo-
man should? You must decide this
early in your life. And you will, !
feel sure, decide to do that which is
right, and then your heart will never
be heavy nor your conscience disturb
ed, unless you fall And when you fall,
thank God, you can always rise again
II you keep up brave heart"
