The poor support given the Home and
Hospital has led the Crawford County
Medical Society to formulate plans for
the establishment of another hospital to
which all religious denominations would
lend their assistance. If sufficient In
terest can be aroused TO make the
venture success it is the intention to
purchase and equip a building for the
purpose. The Home and Hospital has
done much good in alleviating suffering
and distress and it would be a great
misfortune and a rather undesirable
reflection on our people If It should be
forced to close its doors on account Of
lack Of financial support.

NEW YoRk's GROWTH,
The City Has Never Halted Since It Was
 First Fairly Started.

Ernest 1ngersol writes a paper on the Great New York, entitled Reasoning Out a Metropolis. for St. Nicholas. Mir Ingersoll says:
 The people of New York, Brooklyn, Staten Island and certain nearby north ern towns resolved to join themselves together into one city, which is now the Greater New York It embraces 342 square miles of territory and includes Q population of nearly 3, 400, GOO.
 Besides these at least another million dwell on the New Jersey side of the Hudson river, quite as near and as closely identified with the great city on Manhattan Island as are those of the northern and eastern suburbs. This makes population of nearly 4, 300, GOO which may be said to belong to New York, making it not only by far the largest center of human life and inter- ests in America, but, excepting only London, the most populous spot on the globe.
 How has it happened that this vast city has grown up where it stands? Why did not the American metropolis arise somewhere else? Is it's position all an accident, or does history show sound reasons for it's situation? The earliest settlement here was merely trading station that gradually became small seaport, like dozen others along the coast. Before the year 1700 these were so nearly alike that he would have been wise prophet who truly foretold which would thrive. Indeed many men of that day firmly believed that Newport and Annapolis were to be the two great American seaports, -'
 Great cities arise at the points where the greatest number of people find it convenient to meet at first for business and later for pleasure. You cannot force q city to grow in an unnatural or unsuit- able situation, and it is no easier to pre- vent city from growing ill it's proper place. But the conditions that change a village into big town and expand the town into city or metropolis are not the same in different parts of the globe and vary with the march of the cen- turies; so that now many an ancient world market, like Nineyeh or Mem- phis, has totally disappeared, while towns like Berlin have lately increased with amazing rapidity, after a long his- tory as small and insignificant places. As for New York, it has never halted or gone backward for a moment since it was fairly started on it's career in 1893.

Try Holding Your Breath.

The modern quick moving elevator, when it sinks suddenly, gives. many persons an unpleasant, qualmish feeling. Into we'll filled elevator in big shop. ping store the other day stepped from one of the floors two women.
 'tDo you know, said one of them to the other, "that if you hold your breath going down in an elevator you don't have that unpleasant feeling; you don t feel it at all. D
 Of course nobody in the elevator lis. tened Intentionally, but nobody could help hearing what she said. Conversa- tion instantly ceased, and every body drew long breath. The elevator shot downward in silence.
 ''Ground foorl" said the elevator man as he threw back the door, and the women streamed out from the car upon the floor, talking now gayly, and there was one at least who said that the plan was effective. New York Sun.

 NIGHT.

The sun has vanished out of my sight, And the moments sadly roll, For my heart is dark with the thought of
 night,
 And the night is in my soul The day IS set and never will rise, And my heart is sick and sore For the sweet, sweet light of my true love's
 eyes
 Will shine for me no more My very sleep of rest is shorn, am full of pain and care Sick with the thought of what have borne And of what is left to bear zee the rose with bushes fired, hear the brook run by, But am tired. so sick and tired almost long to die. For know the sun will dry the stream, A nd the fiow'ret fade in the frost, And l know that my dream is all dream And the charm of u dream is lost There will never, never be any more light, For my hope and must part, And my soul is dark with the thought of night, And the night is in my heart.

SHORT WORDS.
Ehey Afs tie Best When the Thoughta
 Are Worth While.

dozen or less newspaper men were collected together. when somebody said something about Rudyard Kipling.
 'sI notice in the papers, said an. other, "that he is the best paid writer in the world at present. "
 The Pail Mall Gazette people say they paid him $750 poem for all they printed of hia, ventured third.
 And why not?" put in fourth, |" He is the best writer of English prose or verse now writing. That one line of his, : A rag and bone and hank of hair, describing a vampire woman, couldn't be stronger, I think.
 "Good and strong, commented fifth, "but Kipling is not the only man who has chosen monosyllables to give emphatic expression to his thought. If you will remember, Pope ill his essay on Criticism remarked, And ten low words oft creep in one dull line, and before and after him there were others, who, as he, were scarcely dull and sell dom crept. Hymn writers are strong iii this. Take Watts in that we'll known hymn, for instance:
 'Are there no foes for me to face9
 Must not stem the flood?
 Is this vile world a friend to grace
 To help me on to God?
 Shakespeare found one syllabled words good enough for him. and you all know that passage of Young's: 'tThe bell strikes one. Wetakc no note of time, Save by its loss, etc.
 "Bailey's 'Festus, that makes it's reader feel as if he had eaten of the in- sane root that takes the reason prisoner, has many examples, and this ore you will recall:
 '.we live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not
 breaths.
 Nc should count tiIno by Leart throbs. He
 most lives
 Who thinks most, feels tue noblest, acts the

 And the Bible, the greatest of books, is filled with tLe short words. Right at the beginning of things we fnd And God said jet there be light, and there was light, and at the end of things so .o speak, For the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand" and still further along, And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day, for there shall be no night there.
 ooh, Kipling is all right He knows he has plenty of authority for seeking short words when he wants strong ones. Washington Star.

the juvenile population alone who ought to wear them. A large proportion of grown individuals, especially delicate women, living in cold climate, would be much better off if they adopted wooden gowns instead of muslin and lawn ones. or course lace and nainsoek embroidery arc very pretty, but they are also very fimsy for frosty weather. for even in the most carefully regulated houses the heat will go down during the night, and us tho vi- tality is lower during sleep than at any other time insufficient protection at night becomes 0 serious matter in climate where threat and lung troubles are as prevalent and as serious as they are in large part of America.
 It is possible to make flannel night gowns quito us pretty as muslin ones. If thin Scotch flannel is used instead of the ordinary thick kind, the large proportions of cotton will keep it from shrinking, and the light weight will allow of ample full ness.
