SUN WARDS IN HOSPITALS.
They Are Very Largely Instrumental in Curing Many Patients
 of Disease.

The theory that sunlight eXerts powerfully healing influence upon dis ease processes has now become so well established that the sunroom is re- garded as necessity in a well-ap- pointed hospital. In the plans of new hospitals that aspire to be up to date the solarium finds prominent place, and to keep up with the advances of medical science many of the old hos pitals are attaching solaria to their buildings, says the Trained Nurse.
 The sun ward is easily built. It must be, of course, on the south side of the building, having it's eastern, southern and western walls largely constructed of glass. A good plan is to build a large bay window, with metal frame work, and, if the hos pital building is to be three or four stories high. this bay window may ex- tend to the full height of the main structure. With this arrangement each floor will have the advantages of sun ward.
 The means of ventilation should be perfect and the heating arrangements s adequate. for the sun bath is just as practicable and useful on bright, win try days as on sunny days of summer. If the outlook from the windows of the solarium is pleasant, if the land- scape is diversified with hills, trees. green lawns or fields or a lake or a bit of the ocean, so much the better. Unfortunately for some institutions, the south view from the hospital is limited by walls of brick and stone. Nothing, however. can deteriorate the direct rays of the sun, ESQ that, wherever possible, this exceedingly useful and very cheap commodity should be utilized for therapeutic eff sectS.

BASE BALL NOTES.

Veteran ball cranks remember Tom my Esterbrook, who played with the Metropolitans and the New Works a dozen years ago. "ESter'' is living on Staten Island and is still wondering why the maGnateS are not ill need of his services. At the recent league meeting Esterbrook tloated into the Fifth Avenue hotel. He had on his familiar fur-lined overcoat with a red cloth pink in his buttonhole. His hat was typical Mexican sombrefa, around which was q small "cdmel's hair' shawl, as somebody called it. The veteran looked as clean cut and as well as when he made the crowds laugh with his eccentric airs and dudish walk on the diamond. "Thcy made q big mistake when they let me drop out of the game" said Esterbrooll to a reporter, but I'll be back in it yet! You see if I'm not. Why, l can play all around some of these young fellows who are called stars! Old Es- ter ain't a back number yet" Ester brooks hat made the hit of the meet ing.
 Another character at the league meeting was Edward Everett Bell. In 1890 Bell startled base ball cranks by declaring that if Comiskey's Chica. go Brotherhood team was beaten out by the New Yorks he would have his long flowing hair, reaching to his shoul ders. cut off in public. Later he, in,
 vited large number of cranks to q public hair cutting in a Broadway bar Der shop. Bell turned from base bal to pugilism in 1892 and was the man who took Charley Mitchell down tc | Miners Bowery theater one night | where the English pugilist had a run | in with Jim Corbett, ,fhen matched tc | fight Sullivan. Since then Bell has | been in turn a patron of cycling ant | bowling, and has even taken part il l politics. His appearance among tht
 magnates created surprise, but he ex 1 plained it by saying that he though | he might run across his old friend
 Charley Comiskey, who now owns thG

THEY HAVE HARD SERVICE.
Soldiers in the French Foreign Le- zion Have Anythin:c But
 Easy Time.

The French foreign legion, which is again the subject of parisian political gossip. offers about he hardest mil itary service in the world. and no one who knows enters it until he has eX- aausted all other means of support or wishes to bury himself. says a London paper. Men of all nations are in it's ranks, many of them hard characters, criminals and jailbirds, and it is al ways sent by France to do the dirty work which that country naturally does not choose to impose upon it's own children.
 Thus it has held the frontiers of the African colonies, where every now and then post is cut to bits by a wild Arab tribe. The feverinfested portions of Cambodia and Indo-China which Lodi has described, have also been the scene of it's exploits. The discipline, too. is most severe. Flogging is a daily occur renee and capital punishment is the result of the most trivial offenses. Thus the cases of insanity in the legion are of a much larger number than in any other branch of the French service A physician who has been studying t he insanity of the legionaries says that a majority of the cases are well devel- oped when the men enlist. since few sane men would ever accept the condi- tions know to exist in this corps. He adds that in his opinion many men shot for breaches of discipline were not mentally responsible, and he says that the same trouble may cause the insub ordination among the French troops with the allies in China.

SOME WRESTLING NOTES.
It Is Reported That Parker Will Take On Kelly

Prockton. Dec 20.-Harvey Parker, the wrestler. has received a letter from a friend in this city saying he can have backing i'll the sum of S1,0OO for q wrestling match with John F. Kelly Of Waterbury. Whost, manager, James Carroll has suggested T match.
 Parker says he will meet Kelly at 14O pounds and guarantee to win. He said he thought Carroll was blufting. thinking Parker did not have money and could not get backing. He urged that Carroll be '-called' if the Brock ton man saw tit D do so.
 In view of this there is d prospect of q match between Parker and Kelly i'll this city in the near future.
 Parker stated that he did not have time to consider reports about his con nec1i0n with 1he Kelly-Littie match. He says Little was much stronger than Kelly when they quit, but for the BrorktOn mans injury.
 The RrOcktou Times speaks as fol lows about wrestling:
 Two letters were received to-day by the sporting editor of the Times from Harvey Parker, who is ill New York. In the first he stated that he can get any amount of hacking to WreStle Kelly at 4O or 13S pounds. and he de- | SirpS to call Mir Carroll of Waterbury i'll the latters statement that he is ready to make q match with Parker for Kelly. Parker is i'll the hands of his packers and they will do the busi- ness for him. IL is expected Mir Car roll will be notified of parker'S willing ness to met Kelly and that a match 1 will be arranged for the near future. 1 Parker is evidently of the opinion that AIr Carroll has been seeking tC | make capital out of talk to the effect 1 that he would match Kelly against the l local favorite for a big sum. thinking that Parker could not come to time through not having mo backing. Par ! ker concluded with the statement that l he would proceed to do his best as q l Grpaco-ROman wrestler.
 In the second letter. written little | later Tuesday. Parker states that hC found himself alone ill the middle 1 the others who had entered found out | who he was they all withdrew.
