How the shrewd Keeper OF o village

To be intensely patriotic just now is a
fad with fashionable women, and this has
caused some such leaders as Mrs. Astor,
Mrs. Brice, Mrs. Sloan, Mrs. Mills, Mrs
Whitney and few others whose names
are spoken of with bated breath to join In
declaring that they will wear 10 more i'm
ported millinery.
There is another reason for this sudden
resolution, and that is that the members
of the smart set have taken O fancy to
make their own bonnets or at least to trim
their own hats. To this end clever
young lady went to a milliner and served
her time as an apprentice and now she
has opened q school of millinery where
such members of the immortal Four Hun
dred as wish may come TO learn how to
thread needles and wear thimbles. Indeed
few of them would know thimble from
handspike. Between you and me, by
the time the ladies' have paid for the ma
terial they use and spoil and for their les
sons they would better have their hats i'm.

the fad of the moment and 1t gives the
dear souls something n,w to think about.

was a little clerk with a little wife and

A SUBJECT FOR INVESTIGATION.

In the current number of the Medi-
cal Record.a publication of the highest
professional reputation, the editor, Dr.
George Schrady, pays careful attention
to tue scandalous Encouragement OF
ns revealed by the Santiago campaign.
Among uther things, he says:
1t bas not yet been made clear why
some OF the transports came to New
York without medicines, and in one or
two cases without surgeons. Surely
the Coinmander-i in Chief did not leave
the surgeons sidetracked at Tampa
along with the quinine pills. This
sending of sick troupe on u sea voyage
without surgeons, medical supplies, or
even digestible food IL too serious a
matter to be dismissed with mere
statement that such was not the Gaze
and that all the newspapers misrepre
scented the actual condition of affairs.
Those at the front who had the matter
In charge should throw some light on
the why's and wherefores OF Huch la
inevitable results. The Surgeon General
still owes it to the public, to the pro-
fesHion and to the noble, faithful and
energetic members of his corps to urge
the fullest Investigation into all
the facts, and to answer still more
effectually than be has thus far done
the widespread criticism Of tho man
agement of his particular department.
We have some facts, but many more
have still to be presented before the
real blanc can be made to rest where
it should properly belong.
