glance at history will be necessary. In
those ancient days. the friction OF
thought relating 10 these conditions
well served its purpose in bringing
about a much needed reform. How
ever, like most other innovations on
methods which have become stereotyp-

turtles before the change was univer-
sally adopted and used as it is at the
present day. The uncertainty of ac-
curacy in the Julian or old style meth

been noticed by ancient astronomers,
consequently in October, 1882, Pope
Gregory XIII. undertook to reform the
Roman calendar. The alteration made
by him created VIVA. is commonly

University of Cologne considered
March 25th as the first Of the year. The
new style was adopted by the Catho-
lies in 1884 and by the Professionals in
100. In France, 1t was the custom
about the ninth century to commence
the year with Christmas. From the
end of the eleventh century to the year
1863 it began at Easter, or rather on
Holy Saturday Easter eve). The
Gregorian calendar was adopted in
1882. England and Ireland had been

of January, 1852, should be the begin

ON NEW YEARS EVE.

ON NEW YEARS EVE.
The festal scene is at its height with
in,
The myriad lights their radiance
shed around,
Apd tripping feet and blithe and happy
hearts
Are keeping time to music's sweetest
oound.
Darkness without holds his unbendinS
sway,
Save where the twinkling stars shine
out above,
On child of poverty as child OF wealth,
Upon the outcast too, with eyes OF
love.
Little think they within the portals
OF her who stands without the state
ly gate;
Little they uream what weary weight
Of woe
One 1.-THE of all their riches could
abate.
Poor wanderer, crouching at the rici
mans door,
Watching with longing eyes the
scene of mirth,
Thy worn and pallid face story tells.
Sorrow has been thy dreary lot On
earth.
From early morn till midnight hour
rings out
The same old tale of poverty and
grief,
Fierce hunger grawing at the achins
heart
She oft has prayed grim death to
send relief.
o, ye within the pale of wealth ana
power
Forget not those who cover at your
gate.
Mayhap the wretch who humbly begs
her bread.
In days long since gone b., was, like
thee, great.
Think, stately belle, before whose
sway all bow
Mayhap the wretched woman gazing
there
Was once the worshiped Of a lofty
home,
OF fairest forms was once most fair
None knoweth what thy future lot may
be;
Perhaps the beggar crouching at thy
door
May give to thee the longed-for crust
Of bread,
The balm Of hope into thy heart may
pour.
And We within your stately dwellings
here,
Forget not those who stand without
the pale,
And YOU with all the joys Of home and
friends,
Remember those without the pleas

all,
On rich and poor alike, where'er they
be;
And He who bids uS give to those who
ask

QUEENS HOSPITAL PLANS
ASK FOR GOVERNMENT
CO-OPERATION.
The Proposed Consumptive Ward is
Only for Natives Now Entitled to
Admission to the Institution.

The Executive now has before it
the plans of the Queens Hospital trus-
tees for the asked for cooperation in
the foundation and maintenance OF II
consumptive ward. \ committee from
the trustees consisting of +. \. Schae-
fer, j. b. Atherton and John r. Eek
ardt, had a conference with the Cabi-
net yesterday afternoon. The trus-
tees offer to erect the necessary bull
ding or buildings and assume the re-
sponsiblities of administration, bat
ask the government to allow $1,000 IA
year for maintenance. The proposed
ward is for natives only and is made
absolutely necessary by the fact that
under the charter the hospital is
obliged to receive natives suffering
from consumption, as well as other
diseases. and has some such patients
now. But it is not desirable nor i'm
accord with modern medical or sani-
tary science that they should be in
the same wards or even the same bull
ding with other patients.
The proposal made to the govern
ment is based on plan for Il build
ing on the present hospital grounds,
Il separate institution located else
where involving entirely separate adj
ministration not being within the pur-
view of the proposed plans. The
present plans are strictly for the more
efficient carrying out of the duties al
ready laid upon the hospital and not
for an addition to its scope.
If a hospital for consumptives ire
spective of their birthplace. shall be
determined upon. the question of To-
cation will then be open to discussion.
But in the view of many of the
trustees, as voiced by j. b. Atherton
such project should be very careful
ly considered before it is undertaken.
For if it is not, it might make these
Islands the dumping ground for the
consumptives of the world. But as
the obligation to care for natives who
have consumption is already upon the
hospital, the present movement is
simply to do it in. the best manner
conservant with the conditions and
resources of the institution.
