of Thomas Bailey Aldrich that he once
received n letter from his friend, Pro-

handwriting wholly illegible. Mr.. AL

In due time there came to Mr. Morse
the following reply:

Lord John Russell used to tell this
story: When they were young men at
the bar, having had stroke of profes.

brate the occasion by having IA dinner
at the tavern and going to the play
When it was time to call for the reck-

He and his brother searched for it in

had fallen between the boards of the
uncarpeted floor.
This is "a bad job. " said William.

"Stop bit, " said John. II know a
trick worth two of that. and he called

guineas See if you can find them.
Betty went down ON her hands and
knees and found the guinea, which had
rolled under the fender.
"That's n very good girl, Betty, s.
said John Scott, pocketing the coin.

In other words, this field produces

Among other departments of gov
ernment activity, the work of the
weather bureau during the last fiscal
year calls for some comment. The
most important incident in the work
of the bureau for the year was the ex-
tension of its field of operations, so
as to include the West Indies and the
shores of the Gulf of Mexico. This
was in large part dictated by consid-
erations of military and naval char
acter. but in part also the departure
was intended for the benefit of our
growing commercial interests through
out the West Indies and Central and
South American countries. In the
United States new observing stations
have been established, mainly in the
west and southwest, and climate and
crop centre has been located in Alaska.

that the bureau has undertaken the
work of collecting statistics, which it
is hoped will in the course of time
''enable those interested to determine

A paper has recently appeared in
the English journals giving some not
able data based on the national census
of several successive decades. A most
remarkable fact is the decline in the
proportion of women employed in ag-
ricultural and farm service in the
realm, also marked decline in the
proportion of women employed in silk,
worsted and wooden manufactures.
likewise in the proportion of seam
stresses; on the other hand, an enor-
nous increase is noted in the proper
tion of the sex engaged in the teach
ing service and as tailoresses, who
are mostly sewing machinists. It is
admitted, in this paper after an elab-
crate and careful Investigation of all
the facts and statistics relating to the
point in question-that, while the in
dustrial employment of married wom-
en- with young children is an obvious
sin, it is not the paramount one. In
. word, the paper corroborates the
conclusion arrived at by previous in
vestigation by eminent specialists in
this line, that the factory employment
of women is not the main cause of the
high rate of infant mortality in Ian
cashire and other industrial localities.
Some interesting tables are given in
the paper cited, showing that there is
much more constant relation between
infant mortality and the social condi-
tion OF different town populations,
measured by the proportion of domes-
tic servants employed, than there is
between the proportion of industrial
occupations among women and in
FAINT mortality.

In an article ON the open-air cure
ior consumption in the Nineteenth
Century, James A. Gibson describes
the methods in vogue at Nordrach in
the Black Forest. There the patients
live in rooms the windows of which
are never shut, summer or winter.
They go out in the rain and come home
and sit down without thinking of
changing their clothes, and never take
cold. Their system is put in such n
condition that it throws off the cold
microbes, and infection touches them
not. The obvious disadvantages of
trying any such method in the places
where it is most needed-in the places
where there are the most people, in the
town--is that the wider you open
your windows the more microbes YOU
let in and the harder you will have to
work to throw them off. Still, it seems
that for freedom from colds it is not
advisable to do as many city men do,
dash from their houses to the cars,
and then from the cars to their offices,
with just as little life in the open air
as the still incomplete inventions of
man render necessary. Whether the
doctors will eventually trace the cold
microbe to his lair and throttle him
there or not, it is wise for us not to
wait for them, but to put ourselves in
a state where we can combat the
wicked microbes ourselves. For we
do not catch cold, as we have thought
all these years; the cold catches as
