idea ofthe rapid rate which has marked

For several years a growing interest
has been manifested in the value of
the study of animals and plants by
the young, and in the improvement Of
the instruction in these subjects in
the high schools. Instead of the
time-worn method Of the analysis of
plants attention is being turned to
life processes Of plants, the function
of plant parts and the Interpretation
Of obscure processes through some of
the microscopic plants. In the sum-
mer school at Cornell University dur.
ing 1898 special courses are offered
for the purpose Of training teachers
for presenting this new method in the
high schools. In view also of the
growing popular interest in nature
study, and in the study Of mush-
rooms, courses are offered in these
subjects.

Every month there is a statement
of the number of business failures:
but we look in vain for a statement of
the causes of failure, remarks the
Youths Companion. It might not be
pleasant reading, but it would GER
tainly be instructive. We are told
that some men fail because they are
too honest to practice the tricks of
trade and others because they are too
mean to gain and keep confidence;
some because they do not give full at
tention to their business, and others
because they drive business reckless
". Some lines Of trade are over
crowded. In others the strong and
shrewd push the weak to the wall,
and small operators are s'frosen OUT
by large ones. Competition, which
is said to be "the life Of trade" is
often its death.

CARING FOR THE WOUNDED.
MODERN HosrITAL SERVICE ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND IN THE
AMBULANCE SHIP.

The Government devotes much time
to arrangements for the comfort and
treatment of its wounded soldiers, and
the medical department Of the army
has made SO many impr ,,yements in
that direction in the course { the last
ten OIL fifteen years that some the
surgeons who saw service in the l.. ii
War find a new state of affairs at the
present time. During the Civil War
the medical corps vas much smaller
than it is at present, and, aside from
the regular medical officers and hos
pital stewards, there we're few men in
the regiments who could be utilized
for field hospital work in time of need.
About ten years ago the hospital
corps was organized in the United
States Army, and the system has been
followed by nearly all the National
Guard organizations, with the result
that a great hospital corps, working
under identical rules and regulations,
exists in the regular and citizen
armies, and is SO we'll equipped and
trained that the battlefield risks have
been reduced. In the United States
Army there are to every company
of sixty men four who are detailed as
litter-bearers. When the companies
are larger there are more l%itter-bear-
ers, and a full company of 100 men
would be entitled to eight men. In
addition to these there are stewards
and acting stewards and privates who
are detailed for hospital corps service,
and these men receive regular instruc-
tons in first aid to the injured.
The regulations prescribe that there
shall be one hospital steward at every
post, and two hospital stewards if the
garrison has six companies, and one
for every additional six companies.
At every post of two companies there
is an additional acting steward, and
three privates are detailed for hos
pital corps duty at every post, ard
this number is increased when the
post consists Of more tthan two COM
panles: The stewards and acting
are men who have some
knowledge of pharmacy; many Of them
been licensed to practice as drug
gists, and the privates who are selected
to act with them are always chosen

every man becomes an assistant to the
surgeons, and a source of comfort to
his wounded comrade."
Surgeons who took their first degree
in the Civil War say that thousands of
men might have been saved in the
course of that conflict if the present
system had been in vogue.
1T was not only the private, said
An Army surgeon, who failed to re-
ceive proper attention because ofinade-

help. General officers shared the same

"The object is to have the wounded
beyond the line of danger, and when
the place has been selected, the sem
ior surgeon becomes the commanding
officer. The tent or building is
guarded and protected by q detach-
ment of troops detailed for that pur-
pose, the hospital flag is hoisted, and

and we should see the same distress
ing scenes in this war if the medical
service had not been improved"
In the National Guard commanding
officers may cause to be enlisted in
their hospital corps or transferred to
it from compani IS men suitable for
such service to the number of twelve
for a regiment, eight for a battalion
or squadron and two for each signal
corps, company of infantry or battery.
These men form a separate and dis
tinct command. They wear a badge
on the sleeve above the elbow of
each arm, which is described as a
lozenge of white cloth, containing in
the centre a Geneva cross Of red
cloth.
"DriIls and practice in making and
handling litters may do much toward
perfecting the hospital corps and fit
ting its members for actual SERVICE"
said an army surgeon, Shut it re-
quires actual field work to bring out
the true value of the organization.
The first aid to the injured instruc-
ton has made it all easy matter for
the litter bearers and the members Of
the hospital corps to i%mprovise filters
out of muskets and straps, pieces of
wood and strips Of blankets, and the
men all know how to make bayonets,

as room for the sick is concerned, and
yet not of too large size to prevent
quick turning and darting around and

ment of the crew of such a craft is
precisely that accorded the Red Cross
Brigade. It is an unwritten law of
every civilized nation that a wounded
mar and the man who aids him are
both to be protected.
A difficulty that has been carefully
considered lies in the removal of the
wounded from the cruisers decks to
those of the ambulance ship. It is
believed, however, that this difficulty
has been surmounted by an arrange
ment that is as admirable as it is SIM
pie. It merely consists in placing
the injured man on a mattress in a
hammock, lashing him to the ham
mock, and then by means of safety
hooks attached to the end of a stretch
er-bar to the boat from the ambulance
ship, which lies alongside. This
action can be performed, unassisted,

KINGSTON, JAMAICA, September 16.-The
hurricane of Sunday was undoubtedly the
worst visitation of the kind experienced by the
West Indies during the century in violence
and extent. The hurricane swept along the
island chain, from Barbados westward to St.
Vincent, and thence northwest to ST Kits,
where it was last heard from.
Barbadoes suffered mostly from the rain,
which destroyed the crops and roads, as it did
at St. Lucia and other islands, while the centre
Of the storm swept ST. Vincent and Gaude-
loupe.
Details received from St. Vincent show that
an unparalleled destruction of life and prop
erty has taken place there. Out of q popula-
ton of Al 900, three hundred were killed and
10000 were injured and rendered homeless.
Besides this, owing to the complete destruction
of the provisions. they are all starving. The
island has been absolutely gutted by the wind
and floods from the mountains, in addition to
the waves along the coast
There has been great loss to shipping along
the track of the cyclone.
Relief funds are being raised in response to
an appeal from the governor of ST. Vincent,
where all descriptions of food and clothing
and other mecessaries were lost in the general
destruction. The demand for building mate
rials is unlimited.
No details of the work of the hurricane
have been received from Gaudeloupe.
Almost the entire area of cultivation Oh the
Island of Barbados was left in ruins by the
hurricane.
