Heroism at Johnstown

Standing out in bold relief when

the admiration and applause of even

rescuers and relief parties was the
conspicuous development of the grue-

when Mont Pelee destroyed st. Pierre;
1t was the case, when, nearer home,
occurred the disaster at the Fraterville

charge any sum that patients viii pay
but there are very few who regard a
physicians services as highly as $50
per hour. In this instance the doctor
used frequently to spend the night with

In passing on suah cases the court
does well to pay little regard to the
irresponsible utterances Of a sick man.
Under the stress Of pain one is liable

ABOUT THAT QUARANTINE

The Chester Morning Republican
speaking OF the suggestion that Ches-
ter be quarantined, strikes back by
saying that the first case reported in
that city came from Delaware. We
might answer that If this is true, Ches.
ter has made the most Of it, and is re-
turning our gift with interest several
hundred fold. Our contemporary thinks
there IS no occasion for Wilmington
people to be alarmed. but We think
there is. Most of the cases in this
city have been traced to Chester, and
when we think OF the many avenues @.
communication between the two cities
the prevalence OF tho disease in one
place means the danger of the other
The Chester papers report more Thar
sixty cases in that city, and we cannot
refuse to be concerned.
But we must not be precipitate in
our action. To quarantine Chester ef
fectiyely would work great inconveni
ence and hardship .and it would be q
difficult tack. That city has been stir
red from her lethargy, and will sooI
have a hospital for the treatment o
contagious diseases. She must maxi,
every effort to stamp out the disease
and II there is a disposition to do this
we should not strike a blow at her sud-
as a quarantine would mean. But /
should not be forgotten that Whining
ton is Obliged to take care OF herself
II we carry the contagion over till tn
cool weather, then we may expect al
epidemic. It is a grave matter.

DoCroR's FEES

Judge Over, OF Pittsburg, yesterday
handed down a decision which will be
OF interest as showing the attitude OF
the courts in settling disputed claims
for physicians services against dece-
dents estates. The claimant was DR..
Browning. OF Philadelphia, and the es-
tate was that OF Senator Chris. Magee.
The doctor presented bill to the es-
tate for $4,000, and this the court
scales down to S29 .2S9. That is a
rather sweeping cut, but when we re-

The Spirit of RestIessness and the
Desire For Change.


The Spirit of RestIessness ennd the
Desire For Change.
Judging by n good deal or the con-
versation Of the present day, there are
large number OF people W ho have a
positive horror Of home. Th is curious
revulsion of feeling is taken by many
persons as a sign of social deteriora-
ton. For our own part we f. al it diff
cult to take it quite seriously sor to see
in it anything more than al passing

Nobody nowadays likes IN onotony.
Change is what people desire mot per-
haps any great change, but lots Of
small change; not necessarily for the
better, but for its own. sake. Now,
there Is a great sameness about ones
own four walls, be they ever so hand
some. We all feel at times ar overpOw-
ering desire to look at sol ething else.
We cannot change the pal 1erns or the
pictures on them every day land neither
they nor the home furniture sever seems
to alter in expression.
Again, there is a terribl sameness
about ones own cook. Exp erience ena-
bles us to foretell the tast OF every
thing at home. from the soup TO the sa-
worry If we are rich and fro IN the NUT
ton to the cheese II we are poor;
whereas If we dine at a restaurant
everything down TO the seat is differ
ent, and the restaurant is refurnished
daily with new faces.
Then, again, the mu sic and stir going
on around one avoid the necessity for
much conversation, and conversation
in the home circle is sometimes diff
cult and sometimes dnn. 1t does not do
always just to say what one thinks, it
is such bad practice hor dining out,
and, this being the case it is not easy
sometimes TO think what to say
Nowadays we get, socially speaking,
tired of our friends and even of our ac-
quaintances. We want them to pass

this. and then had an idea That the
hens fell in with 1t, and helped her
carry it through, is proved by the
lsequel. Perhaps she had been studying
the various works on the utilization of
wasted energy, having read Of the har-
messing OF Niagara, and the utilization
OF the tides Of the ocean. Whatever
her mental process may have been, she
soon had her husbands bed chock full
Of eggs, and he meyer ruffled feather
for fear of producing an omelet-
Day by day he lay there, the fever
burning, and the mysterious process OF
life going on within the shells. Doubt
less medicines might have been given

have materially reduced his earning

and so the incubation went on.
Then one happy day there was re-
joicing in the household there is a
movement OF the covers; he feels a
lpecking at his legs. and rejoices in his
lparenthood! OF course he was slightly
lperplexed about the matter, but he
had brought those things into life.
That was happy moment, and he had
visions of leading his little brood
around the barnyard; but his hopes
were blasted. for the hens had been
busiIy engaged in the meantime, and
so the thrifty housewife removed the
shells from the bed. and inserted in
their places six dozen fresh eggs, and
left him to start on his process OF in
cHbation anew.
There is a moral Of thrift in thiB
truthful story. How many men OF our
acquaintance are Obliged to suffer at
seeing their wives performing all the
duties OF bread-winner, while they are
obliged to spend a life OF idleness,
broken only by occasioned trips around
the corner. They have talents that
they wish to utilize. Here is a chance;
let them go to bed, and their thrifty
eonsorts and half dozen hens will do
the rest. Let the work of nurturing
the young become theirs, and If the
system becomes general they may have
the satisfaction Of knowing that they
have been responsible for a revival OF
the spring chicken market.
