FRENCH NAVAL PLAN.


The plan recently laid before the
French chamber of deputies for in
crease of the navy contemplates the ex-
penditure of 95S.O0O,0oO francs, of
which 235,000,000 are for completing
ships already on the stocks, 476 900, 900
for 1T additional new vessels, includ-
ing 112 torpedo boats; $4,000, 900 for
ports and arsenals, S5,000.000 for coast
defenses and $4,000, 900 for naval sta
lions in the colonies. Germany and
Russia also are adding to their pro-
grams in like proportion. The build
ing program of the United States, and
even that of England, looks small by
comparison. 1t is to be borne in mind,
however that these paper ships take a
long time to get converted into steel
realities.

TRAINING AND COMMON SENSE.

1t has been remarked that modern
methods of education, whatever may
be their merits, do not markedly in
crease that most valuable of all en-
dowments, common sense. AS the de-
yelopment of that somewhat indefin-
able but absolutely necessary quality,
if one would lead the most useful
life. should be more aimed at than
anything else, thoughtful mothers
have suggested that there must be
serious defects in our modern schools
and colleges. One of the directions
in which common sense is most likely
to be shown is in the care of the
health. Neither young men nor
young women appear to realize the
value of health, and our colleges do
not seem to instill into them the pre-
cepts which aid in securing this great
est of earthly benefits. Wealth, learn
ing, beauty, vital are of little COM
fort without health, while with il
almost anything may be borne cheer
fully. Not long ago college-girl
graduate sat reading a book at con-
siderable distance from the lamp
which was her sole dependence for
light. Not satisfied with sitting al
least three times as far from the lamp
as she ought, she had carefully inter
posed her head between it and hel
book. One Of the foundation facts OF
education is that one should always
get the best possible light upon ones
work, being careful never to let the
sun shine directly upon it, and thai
the light should come over one of the
shoulders, preferably the left. Under
the most favorable conditions the lif,
of student furnishes more thai
enough business for the oeulist.-Kat

A CRIME OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Which Causes the Death of Many
Sick-room Victims.

'Thoughtlessness and mistaken
thousands, and the family and nurses
are ofttimes the unknown accessories
to the deed" is the emphatic opinion
of Bland Drummer Huddleston writing
of Visitors to the Sick-room in Wo-
mans Home Companion. "rhey fear
criticism too much. Their mothers
and grandmothers never dreamed of
refusing admittance to the sick
room; it would cause talk to begin
it. So the nurse casts responsibility
loff on custom, and puts a blind trust
in providence, and the deed is done!
No matter how visibly it harrows the
lsoul of nervous woman to have out
siders' about her, there are those who
Twill persist in invading every sick
room they can reach, regardless of the
condition of the patient or the prob
ability Cor lack of probability that
they may be of any service. 1t often
Happens that it is the least useful and
most tactless women of a community
who are most active in their atten-
tons to the afflicted Such visitors
seriously handicap the efforts of the
physician and nurses and undoubtedly
cause many death. 1t is astonishing
to witness the recklessness of most
families in regard to this phase of the
care of their sick. Unless patient
is actually in artieulo mortis the
country doctor does not like to en-
danger his popularity by ordering the
arbitrary exclusion of visitors. With
out his commands to back them up the
family that attempts the innovation
invites and gets the ostracism of the
neighborhood for no short time.
would not be thought to decry the
good, sensible, self-denying neighbor

munities and in homes of slender
means everywhere must supply the
place of the trained nurse when the

the extent of her usefulness or can

fully sympathetic society is a benefit
to convalescents, and that kind, like
medicine, only at proper intervals and
in right amount. In fact so much de-
