Ruth Darling. a servant girl, died
some years ago at the residence OF
family uptown. She had always liked
animals and to her employer, during
her last Illness, she said:
"I have q little money saved, sir.
should like to do something with 1t for
the benefit OF cats. Cats have a cruel,
hard life. I'd like to found bed In
hospital for them, so that when they
-a.v-..a -As--.-------i---@ s-------->~A-- n -
bed for INDECENT sick cats-that Is my
idea"
"Well, Ruth, such bed would cost
money" said the dying woman's en-
ployer
IL know it, sir, and I've got money"
she returned. "Look here, sir" and
she took from under her pillow her
handbook. The book showed to her
credit a sum more than sufficient for
the establishment of the bed.
And, accordingly, in the Maher AMI
rnal hospital uptown the bed was es-
tablished on Ruth Darling's death. II
bears her name, and 1t Is seldom II
ever empty. Like club, 1t usually
has a waiting list-a long line OF indi-
gent sick cats waiting to be treated In
the Ruth Darling bed for nothing. The
bed is a commodious iron cage, with
an inscription of gold letters. Last
year ifty-six cats were cared for ip It.

PNEUMONIA.

More Contagious Than TubeScuSoefss
and Kills More People.
We wonder II the fact that patients
and their friends ignore the contagious
ness Of pneumonia is often due to pro
fessional negligence. An exaggerated
conception Of the contagiousness OF
tuberculosis Is held by the lay world
but pneumonia is, Of course, far more
contagious. And patients and profes-
sion alike have not realized the new
fact that the mortality Of pneumonia
is In some cities and parts Of the coun-
try higher than that Of tuberculosis
DR.. Reynolds of Chicago returns to
this lesson and emphasizes the neces-
sity Of the following measures:
Pneumonia is a highly contagious
disease, the cause Of which is micro
organism in the sputa Of those suffer
ing from the malady and contracted
by inhalIng this germ. Therefore the
same care should be taken to collect
and destroy the sputa that is taken In
pulmonary tuberculosis or In diph-
liberia or influenza.
During the illness the greatest pains
should be taken to prevent soiling bed
clothing, carpets or furniture with
sputa, and after the Illness the patients
room should be thoroughly cleansed
and ventilated
The fact that the disease Is most
prevalent In the winter season. when
people are. most crowded together and
live much of the time in badly venti-
lated apartments, makes obvious the
necessity OF thorough ventilation OF
houses, Offices, factories, theaters,
churches, passenger cars and other pub
lie places in order that the air which
must be breathed may be kept. clean
and free from infectious matter.
Laymen should be taught not to be
afraid of patient who has pneumo-
mia, influenza or tuberculosis, but to be
afraid of lack Of cleanliness about him
during his illness or failure to e. -orce
prophylactic measures and Of close.
badly ventilated apartments during the
season when these diseases most pre-
vail.
Since pneumonia is most fatal at the
extremes Of life-the young and the
aged-special care should be taken to
guard children and old persons against
exposure to the infection Of those al
ready suffering with the disease and
against cold, privation and exposure to
the weather, which are potent, predis-
posing causes.-American Medicine.

Church Service In the Dask.

Religious services held In absolute
darkness are an experiment begun q
few weeks ago in London. The pur.
pose was not novelty or notoriety, but
a desire to answer the objection raised
by poorly dressed people against going
to any place where their shabby clothes
made them feel uncomfortable. The
experiment was made at 81. James, In
Clerkenwell. A large sheet was hung
across the eastern end Of the church.
and upon this the words and music OF
the hymns, the prayers and responses
were thrown by a limelight lantern.
II the attention Of the congregation
was not concentrated on the service.
the fault could not be attributed to any
desire TO study the fashions.

The things Of the world are ever ris-

and this change must be according to
the will Of God as he has bestowed
upon man neither the wisdom nor the
power to enable him to check 1t. The
great lesson in these things is that man
must strengthen himself doubly at such
times to fulfill his duty and do what Is
right and must seek his happiness and
inward peace from objects which can
not be taken away from him.-Wilheim

Engineer Frank Whitney of train 102,
had a narrow escape from terrible if
not fatal accident on the trip from Au-
gusta to Portland. Tuesday afternoon.
The train had just pulled out of the
station, and was passing down through
the lower yard, and Mr.. Whitney was
leaning out of the cab window, watch
ing an oil cup on the cylinder which
had been giving trouble. About 120
wards down the track from Rines hill
crossing is a semaphore, against which
leans a ladder, used in reaching the
signals, and as the locomotive passed
the semaphore Mr.. Whitney's head
came in contact with the ladder. in
f,icting a scalp wound several inches
long, which bled profusely. Baggage
master Wight bandaged the injured
mans head as we'll as could be done on
the train. and message was sent to
Gardiner for surgeon. When the train
reached Gardiner, the wound was
dressed. after which Mr.. Whitney
pluckily climbed into his cab again and
took the train through to Portland. But
little knowledge of the accident was
had in the city, until man was sent
from Brunswick, Wednesday Afternoon,
to change the location of the ladder.

Chief of Police John C. Bowen

Chief of Police John c. Bowen of
Bangor, was in Augusta for a short
time, Thursday. He had been to Hal
lowell to commit a young girl to the
Industrial School for Girls, and thence
came up to Augusta to call upon some
friends. While here the chief visited
the State House and made rather a
quick inspection of it. He said that
it had changed much since his last
visit to the building. That previous
visit was made in 1862, when the LIST
Maine Cavalry, of which he was a
member was encamped in the park
opposite the State House. Chief Bowen
is one of the best known police Of
ficials in the state, having been ap-
pointed TO the Bangor force in 1888
and has Served continuously ever since.
In 1896 he was made deputy chief,
which position he held until Jan. l
of the present year, when he was made
acting chief, and in March last was

whether by the lumberman's onerations
or by fire, it is succeeded by another,
made upprincipally on entirely of species
differing from the first This fact
is a matter of common observation and
speculation. Its explanation is some
times obvious, often difficult. 1t has
been suggested that certain kinds of
trees exhaust the soil of certain ele-
ments and that other trees recurring
different conditions follow: that. anal
osous to the rotation Of crops practised
by the farmer, and for similar reasons,
there is natural rotation of forests
On investigation, however, it will be
found that i'll some instances, at least
forests of the same sorts have thrived
on the same areas for more than a
thousand years in succession,-as in
case of some of the beech and spruce
forests of Germany. In accounting for
this it should be borne in mind that the
leaves and the dead limbs and trunks
by returning to the soil large portion
of the material used in growth, MAIN
talns to large extent it's fertility.
Furthermore, the amount of potash.
phosphoric acid and other valuable ele-
ments of plant food contained in a crop
of grain is five to ten times larger than
that contained in crop of hard or soft
wood; while the continual mulch and
shade of the foliage keeps the soil in
the best possible mechanical condition
So the theory of soil exhaustion will
not hold.
Another potent factor in the success
sion of forests is the characteristic of
sprouting from the base, possessed by
some trees, such as oak, chestnut,
maple, willow, poplar, cherry, etc.
Professor Real lays particular stress on
this feature in the succession of forests
in Michigan. There is a natural sue
cession of forests due to changed natu-
raj conditions and to the incessant war;
fare between species. This succession
may be rapid, as when a given area is
swept by fire and soon recovered by
vegetation of an entirely different char
acter; or it may be the result of centu-
ries of gradual encroachment. The
agents which are used in distributing
plants, together with the light loving
and shade-enduring characters of GER
tain species, the habit of repeatedly
sprouting from the root or stump, and
the fact that many seeds remain dor
mant for long periods are the most inn
pOrtant factors in forest succession"
