only color she wore. The fog hung

he decided Christmas might find its
way unattended. He put the horse
into trot, and after awhile the road
grew familiar. Mrs. Merrie held her
peace till they were fairly in the lane

''Have you forgotten anything?"
she asked, dryly, suspecting prac-
teal joke, and ready to resent it.
John helped her down carefully and
set her grip on the horseback. "Not

SUN WARDS IN HOSPITALS.
They Are Very Largely Instrunental
In Curing Many Patients
of Disease.

The theory that sunlight exerts a
powerfully healing influence pom dis
ease processes has now become so well
established that the sunroom is re-
garded as a necessity in a we1-ap-
pointed hospital. In the plans Of new
hospitals that aspire to be up to date
the solarium finds a prominent place,
and to keep up with the advances Of
medical science many of the old hos
pitfalls are attaching solaria to their
buildings, says the Trained Nurse.
The sun ward is easily built. II
must be, of course, on the south side
of the building, having its eastern.
southern and western walls largely
constructed of glass. A good plan is
to build 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

DEAD TO HER FAMILY.
Ostracised Because She Became
. Christian.

A young Hindoo girl, q convert to
Methodism, has been on a visit to Bos-
ton during the past few weeks. Her
name is Sooboonagam Animal, which il
shortened to Sooboo for purposes Of
friendly conversation, says an eastern
contemporary.
Sooboo is particularly interesting
from the fact that she belongs to q
high-caste family-a caste deemed SUI
perior in India to ordinary mortal as
ISOLATION. The girl heard the mission
preachers at first with contempt, but
she ended by running away from her
aristocratic home to the mission and
said she had become a Christian. In
leaving her gods behind her she left
also her jewels.
First the angry and desperate father
came to the mission and threatened To
put Sooboo's new friends in Jail for kid
naping. The girl was produced and
elected to stay where she was. Tho
father went away uttering the final
word, "Outcasti" which is a sentences
of death"
But soon the broken-hearted mother.

to the mission was contamination.
came and pleaded with Sooboo to re-
turn to the home Of those who had
reared her and had loved her. The girl
declared her love for her mother, but
refused to go back. Then came flu
neral services, as of one dead. The
mother, called "accursed" because of
her visit to the mission, could not he
present. but walked 1000 miles to the
river Gauges and held mourning serv-
ice there. Then she came home and
walled up the door Of Sooboo's room.

UNIQUE SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Water Company Asked to Pay BE-
cause 1t Could Not Extin-
gufsh = Fire.

A lawsuit, unique in the jurispru-
dence of the state of California, Il
now on trial at Ukiah. The city OF
Ukiah, says San Francisco exchange,
has sued the local waterworks COM
pany for loss of $50.75 by reason OF
. fire which could not be extinguished
because there was no water in the
hydrants. The waterworks system
of tho place consists of q pumping
plant on the bank Of the Russian
river, by which the water is raised to
Q reservoir on the side of the noun
tain, from which it is distributed by
natural pressure. Fire hydrants are
located at all the prominent corners.
On the night of the fire in question
the agent of the water company had
shut off the water in order to stop
the practice of irrigating private
lawns in the night time. By reason
of this a man had to run a half mile
to the reservoir to turn on the water.
The delay was fatal, as the block in
which the fire originated was almost
completely destroyed. Then the city
made a demand upon the company
for the loss sustained by the city
property. The demand was refused
on the ground that the water COM
pany is not an insurer against fire.
The prosecution holds, however, that
under the terms of its franchise the
water company is bound to maintain
at all times a sufficient pressure of wa
ter for all purposes, of course incfud-
ing the extinguishment of condagra-
tons. Should the city win the case
all the other losers by the same IRE
