coast OF Africa among the natives for
twelve months. and then embarked
from Cape Verde to Panama. and
thence to New Orleans. where he was
led to work on the same charitable
lines. He thus relates his own story:
after quitting the sea gave my life
TO religious work In the city Of New
Orleans. One feature Of 1t was to visit
the Charity hospital every day, for over
ten years, praying with and comfort
ing the sick, and holding religious
services every Sabbath. The Charity
hospital opens its doors to all corners
who are sick. no matter from what
quarter, and 1t Is often overtaxed. As
soon as It's patients are well they must
give way to the sick who are ever
croWding the doors for treatment. As
a consequence many have to leave the
hospital who have no place to eat or
sleep. have no money and are too weak
to work. The result is that many
would return to the hospital, relapsing
through exposure and starvation, would
die, and be carried to the Potters
Field, unless some kindly souls inter
yened In their behalf The first sug-
gestion came to me through these cir
eumstances: One morning. several
years ago; ! received letter from the
station master Of railroad running
from New Orleans to Cairo, Ill, stat
ing that he had found dead man In
freight car, and that Testament was
found In his pocket with my name In
It remembered him as young man
twenty-five years Of age, who little
while ago had been discharged from
the Charity hospital. felt sorry for
him. He was weak, had no money ana
no friends. and he sought to reach his
mother In Kansas. Knowing the en-
gineer on the train. he started out. He
got IN the freight car. and died before
he reached Cairo. That incident set
my mind at work. and the idea Of
home for convalescents took posses
sion Of me-a place where people could
90 after they left the hospital. weak,
friendiess and poor. and find a home
until their strength should return, and
where they could find sympathy and
welcome

Following the example Of Great Brit
ain. France and Italy have enacted
workmen's compensation laws. That
Of France, which was signed by the
president April 9. 1898, applies to
workmen in all dangerous callings,
such as building trades, factory work.
mining, etc. The law applies only to
employees who receive less than 2,40e
francs (S4S0) a year. Employers are
bound to pay expenses OF medical
treatment, and in case Of death the
funeral expenses Ito 500 Of all who
are injured in their employ. In addi-
ton the employer is required to pro-
vide compensation proportional to the
injury sustained, up to two-thirds Of
the annual wages, in case Of perma-
nent disablement, and in case Of death
pensions for the widow married before
the accident at the rate Of 20 per cent
Of the annual wages; to the widow
married later a compensation CORE
spending to three years pension for
total disablement; for children and
dependent" at the rate of Is OF &c
per cent Of the annual wages, up to the
age Of 16. but in no cases more In all
than so per cent Of the dead mans
wages. II 'inexcusable" negligence be
shown by the employer the compensa-
ton may be increased. The Italian
provides for the insurance
against accident or death OF every
workman engaged in dangerous trades.
and the employer must effect the insur-
anee. The employer must pay medical
expenses. Compensation Is paid only
to those earning not more than 2.00C
lire (s400) a year. but in no case less
than 5000 lire $500.

The Journey through the Suez canal
Is monotonous in the extreme. for the
snip moves very slowly and on either
side is a wide expanse OF sandy desert
whoSe fearful glare is trying to the eye.
The canal widens out at the Bitter
lakes. across whose northern end the
Israelitish children made their mirac-
ulous passage. 1t then narrows again
and preserves its uninteresting appear
ance right on to the end. The steam
ers stop in the gulf Of Suez for a few
hours and take In mails and some
times q few passengers, but no one
goes ashore here. as the town Of Suez
Is several miles distant The general
character OF the climate and Of the
morality Of the countries lying cas-;
Of this place have been well summed
up In one Of Kipling's songs, where he
puts into the mouth Of Tommy Atkins
the words:
Ship me somewhere east Of Suez.
Where the best Is like the worst.
Where there amt no ten command
ments,
And a man can raise a thirst"
Out of the gulf of Suez and we reach
the Red sea. At certain seasons Of
the year the Red sea is almost unbear-
able. The water taken from seventy
to eighty feet below the surface of the
sea at o'clock in the morning will
often register temperature as high as
80 degrees. II, In addition, q sand
storm thinks at to blow, the whole afr
is rull Of a mist made Of innumerable
particles OF fine hot sand, which blinds
and suffocates at the same time.
