"chop suey" and other well known Chi

Americans than by Cinnamon. A Har-

A good story is going the rounds at
Harvard college concerning a last
years graduate, n dutiful son and an
industrious student, yet withal some
what liberal youth. At the beginning
OF his concluding year his father, who
was just setting out for Europe, said
to him:
"Now, Harry, you get your degree,
and I'll send fer you to come over and
travel all summer"
Harry was delighted. Father" said
he, al Will" He studied faithfully all
the college year and in June went
through with flying colors. Then he
cabled his father:
"Yes."
But the father, alas, had forgotten
his impulsive offer. He mused over
the message, wondered and then cabled
back:
''Yes-what?"
The son was in turn perplexed, but,
being a well trained lad, he did not re-
main long in the dark and, fired by du-
teous zeal, cabled back:

HARD WORK FOR NURSES.
s[From the National Review.1

IFrom the National Review.j
Tt was no uncommon thing at Bloem-
fontein for a nurse to have to take
charge of over $50 enteric patients at
night (I was told that at one time one
nurse had as many as 800 cases.) Is it
to be wondered at that 50 many of them
broke down under the strain, thereby
throwing more work on those who still
struggled on, or that they should them
selves have said that what they were
doing could not be called nursing? 1t
was also, 1 believe, no uncommon thing
for a doctor to have as many as 120 or
$50 cases under his care, in addition to
the Incredible amount OF needless work
exacted by the red-tape system of the
war office and the work involved by at
tendance at the station to meet the am
bulance trains. 1t was impossible for
the real work of a doctor to be properly
carried out under such conditions. The
case Of the Orderlies is even worse. Con-
tinuOuS work of the most arduous char
acter at high pressure in a fever laden
atmosphere leaves very little time for
proper disinfection or for taking the pre-
cautions necessary to avert disease. The
trained OrdeTlies worked like heroes, and
it is to be hoped that at the end of the
war a list will be published-it will be a
long one, / fear-of those who have died
in the execution of tRefF duty, in order
that the country may nave some chance
of recognizing the services of those
who aid down their lives in her cause
as surely as any man who died in the
fighting line.

THE BALD EAGLE.
[From the Hartford POSI-


We wish F.. w. Woodwork hadn't
killed that ald eagle The fatal shoot
ing was done on Wednesday,in Windsor,
just north of the Hartford town line. If
Mr.. Woodwork had bagged the bird be-
tween 1888 and 1897 he would have been
liable to pay a fine of not less than SIS
or more than $50. He not only acted law
fully, but he displayed clever marks
manship-but, nevertheless. we always
regret to hear Of an eagle being made a
warehouse for buckShot.
The law prohibiting the killing of ca
giles was repealed by the general assem-
bly, of 1897, and the dubious glory of the
performance is charged up to Represent
tative Main of S~tonington. The legisla-
tors assented to the proposition not be-
cause they loved the eagle less. but be-
cause they loved Mr.. Main more. The
repeal bill, introduced by the unique
representative from St~onington, went to
the committee on agriculture, which re-
ported adversely. Mr. Main was mad
He began to live the life. He
set out to do up the committee on agri-
culture, and consequently to do up the
eagle. He blended talk and hustle in
harmonious proportions. The fight vas
fast and furious. The issue was long IN
doubt. Finally a majority of the MEM
bers. striving to please and fearing that
Nh. Main might leave the state if the bill
were defeated, stood by him, turned the
committee down, passed the bin and gave
everybody an opportunity to put day
light through any eagle that came along.
And yet, and yet, isn't it too bad to
kill the king of birds? The eagle is the
American national emblem. It loves the
mountains, the crag. the inaccessible
cliff, the upper air. 1t sets the poets in
motion. 1t is a noble bird. To be sure,
its healthy appetite occasionally induces
it to put forbidden things on it's bill Of
fare, and it isn't always friendly to ar
ticles which the farmer highly prizes.
Nevertheless, the eagle on the whole is
so attractive, so majestic. so emblemaI-
ic that,in spite Of it's occasional bad hab-
its, we can quite see how a genuine
sportsman can wish to pull the trigger
when he sees one of the magnificent
birds up in the blue.

SLATE PENCILS.
IFrom Cement and Slate

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from solid slate. just as it is dug from
the earth, but pencils 50 made were OBJ
jected to on account of the grit which
they contain, and which would scratch
the slate. TIC overcome this difficulty,
an ingenious process has been devised
by which the slate is ground to a very
fine powder. all grit and foreign sub
stances removed, and the powder bolted
through silk cloth in much the same
manner in which flour is bolted. The
powder is then made into a dough, and
this dough is subjected to a very heavy
hydraulic pressure. which presses the
pencil out the required shape and di-
ameter. but in length OF about three
feet. While yet soft the pencils are cut
into the desired lengths and set out to
dry in the open air. After they are
thoroughly dry, the pencils are placed in
steam baking kilns, where they receive
the proper temper. Pencils made in this
manner are not only free from all grit
and of uniform hardness, but are strong
er than those cut out of solid slate For
these reasons they have superseded the
old kind. over 5,000,0 600 of these pencils
were made and sold in 1899 by one Amer
lean concern in Chattanooga.

LONDON SORE r

We have 0 the London summer, and
We have also the London sore throat.
The sufferers all blame the climate for
it.
LAS if the English climate was the
couse of London sore throat" said DR..
Jakins, the house surgeon at the Central
Throat hospital, to an Express represen-
tative.
Then there is such a thing as London
sore throat?"
Undoubtedly; and what is more, it is
not merely a mild complaint. The prin-
cipa1 caase is the wood pavement. There
is a continual cloud of fine dust arising
from these pavements, and that is, in it
self, bound to set up an Initiated condi-
ton of the throat"
What form does his condition take?''
what is termed septic sore
throat. Sometimes it is quinsy, and it
nay if not carefully watched, develop
into diphtheria.
Another great cause IS the drains. All
the manholes should have pipes attach
ed, reaching above the tops of the houses
and carried at the side of the lamp
posts. In Southend his is done, and why
not in London? The bacteria come from
the manholes and settle in the dust.
Then, what happens? A water cart
comes along; the only thing necessary
for the multiplication of millions of bac-
terra. So, by the time the water has
dried up the streets are more unhealthy
than before.
Then take the milk carts-I mean
those large cans that are wheeled about
on barrows- How many times dc they
not stand directly over drains while the
delivers his pints and quarts2
1t is a wonder that diphtheria is not
worse than it really is"
And what remedies would you rec
