CONSERVATIVES HOSPITAL
PLANNED BY NEW YORK

"A municipal hospital for the treat
ment of consumptives has been pro-
posed by the committee on the pre-
vention of tuberculosis of the Charity
Organization society, and plans for
such an institution have been submit
ted to the Board of Health of New
York. According to the specifications,
the sanatorium proposed would cost
something over 100000, but physi-
clans who have studied the problems
of tuberculosis. believe that it would
mean a saving of more than that
amount each year. The loss is com
puted, of course, economically. 1
DR.. Herman M. ,Biggs, head of the
pathological department of the Board
of Health, reports from statistics that
the deaths from tuberculosis in the
whole of New York city are about 10s
900 each year. He says that it may be
conservatively estimated that each hu-
man life at the average age at which
tubercular deaths occur is worth to
the municipality $1,000. The cost of
each life at this age is usually more

Speeches With and Without Notes.
Two Occasions Which Noted Orators Have Acquitted
Themselves Well Although Obliged TO Do Without
Their Carefully Prepared Periods and Sentences,

Lord Rosebery, on arriving at Ply

to address a mass meeting in the even
ing, found that he had left the notes
Of his speech in London, says the Lon
den Saturday Review. He had about
three hours. at the hotel in which to
collect his thoughts, assuming that he
was left alone by the local magnates,
and in which the notes might arrive,
dispatched ''post-post-haste" by the
faithful secretary. We gather from
what Lord Rosebery said that the
notes did not arrive, and we must
suppose that he is above the petty
tibbing of the ordinary NJ. P, who as
sures you at political banquet that
he is down for some toast, he doesn't
know which, or what he will say
at the very moment that he is trying
to convey his speech from his pocket
to his head. In the circumstances, so
far as the mere speaking went, Lord
Rosebery did not do badly, for there
are few things more disconcerting,
even to mature and experienced
speaker-and Lord Rosebery will not
mind our telling the public that he is

the patients will be required to spend
much of their time out of doors, al
though the pavilions themselves will
be open and we'll ventilated There
will be a number of recreation parks.
In connection with the general hos
pital it is proposed to have village of
liz tents, in which certain patients
shall live through all seasons of the
year. The tents are to be arranged in
streets, with wide spaces and beautiful
landscape effects, and with a recrea-
ton park conveniently located. At the
end of each block of tents will be
placed q toilet and bath building for
the block, with paths leading to same,
and with shrubbery to hide the build

will be a general division of the insti-

than that. But this gives total value
to the lives lost annually of $15,000,-
900.
Considering these facts, and what
their Investigations have shown them
that the spread of consumption in
New York city continues in spite of
their thorough work to check 1.-THE
committee of the Charity Organization
society is firmly convinced that the
time has come when steps should be
taken for the erection of municipal
sanatorium for the treatment of tuber-
culosis. The need arises from the duty
to provide necessary care for those
who have the disease and necessary
protection for those who do mot have
it but are exposed to it by the care
lessness of patients.
The plans provide for combination
of tents and pavilions to be erected
near the city. The building and tents
together will furnish accommodation
for about 500 patients. The sanatorium
will thus care for more patients than
any institution of its kind in existence,
and according to careful estimate the
annual per capita cost will be less.
It is the opinion of physicians gener-
ally that no specific method for curing
pulmonary tuberculosis or consump-
ton is known. In fact, the committee
on the prevention of tuberculosis of
the Charity Organization society,
whose members include some thirty of
the best known and most reputable
medical men and women Of New York
city, has issued acircular in bold-faced
type notifying the public that there is
no Justification, in the opinion; of the
committee, for the extravagant claims
of many so-called specific methods and
special methods for the cure of tuber-
culosis, which have been and are be
ing exploited and widely advertised.
1t is7now conceded by medical men
that tuberculosis is not contagious or
Infectious as are smallpox and yellow
fever The main agency by which the
disease communicated is the spu-
tum. It will be one Of the principal
purposes of the municipal sanatarium,
therefore, Ito educate. There will be
provided, OF course, hysicians, nurses,
and attendants as for an ordinary hos
pital, but .inasmuch as slight reliance
is to be placed ION methods, . main
partof their duties will be to instruct
the patients as to how to- take care Of
themselves. "a s. &

About 5O,OOO,OO0 people live in
America south of the United States
and 35,000,0OO of them live in South
America. If the estimates made by
the Intercontinental Railroad COM
mission in 1899 are correct, it will
cost $3.50 for every person in the
United States and the Latin republics
to build and equip the proposed
trunk line connecting our railroad
system with roads already built or be-
ing built from the chief ports of Chile
and Peru on the west and Buenos
.Ayres on the east.
MeXico's railroad system has not
yet been extended north and south be-
yond the city of Oaxaca, which is
several hundred miles north of the
Guatemalan boundary. The Intercon-
tinental railroad will utilize existing
roads as far as possible between New
York city and Buenos Ayres.
The total length of the all-rail route
from New York to the capital of Ar
gentina will be 4O,22S miles. Of this
mileage the part yet to be constructed
extends between Oaxaca, Mexico, and
Jujuy, Argentina, a distance of 5,456
miles. This is merely the trunk line,
as it does not include the branch
lines which, it is hoped, some day to
construct eastward to existing rail-
roads running to Caracas, Rio de
janeiro and Santos and to Asuncion
and Montevideo.

BREEDING Pigeons.

Breeding Pigeons.
From Farmers Review: In the
breeding of pigeons one must first
choose the variety he thinks will suit
him best. There are many varieties
that are unable to feed their own
young on account of shape of beak
and for this reason most fanciers pre-
fer breed of pigeons that can rear
their own young without keeping what
are called feeders. Pigeon breeding is
like every other fancy or business,
there being plenty of room at the top,
and, if one expects to be successful
with pigeons, he must in the first
place have a fancy for them and then
be willing to pay fair price for good
birds, for as a rule, SO called cheap
birds are not worth feeding. My ad
vice to beginner would be to pur-
chase but one pair of birds, but let
that pair be first class If not show
birds themselves, they must come
from good stock to be good breeders
or to breed show birds. Birds can't
transmit what they have not in them
selves. Purchase your pigeons of
breeder with reputation for honest
dealing and from one that has demon
| strated that he knows how to breed
winners. Good birds in any variety
suitable to start a loft with are worth
from $40 to $25 a pair. This price
may to some at first sight look exorbi-
tant, but I know from long experience
that if one wishes to become fancier
| and be successful he must start right
and it can't be done with cheap birds.
L could write much on this subject,
but hope these few lines will influence
some amateur fancier to start right SO
that he will find it pleasure and a
profit to continue in the fancy.-Dr,
