great scourge of our climate, consump

Sierra Madre mountains in California
where cures were being effected 1t wa
at the end of forenoons horseback

lance a group of what looked like red
rooted little houses surrounding on,

the stranger was cordially met by the
officials, and when the fact that he was a,
fastener had been ELECTED, the offer was
made To- show him the institution The
roofs and upper parts of the sides of tn,
houses occupied by the patients were OF
canvas, the lower sides and floor being O:
boards. Around the top of the rooms
there was space where the air could cir
culate freely, and which could not be
closed even by an inmate who had a
dread of fresh air. These little houses
We're made comfortable and attractive
and the inmates were contented and hap
py in their out of door homes, but the best
of it was that in the pure air they were
returning TO health. The proposition is
more of an experiment in this climate
but the faith of the medical fraternity is
great. The annual meeting of the asso-
citation is to be held here next week, anu
great interest will be taken in the pro-
grcSs of the institution.

Toll Bridges in Maine.

Now that the long bridge between
bangor and Brewer has been made
free, the list of toll bridges in Maine
ms again been shortened. 1t is to be
hoped that the time will come in the
near future when such a thing as to-.
bridge cannot be found in the good old
Fine Tree State. AS matter Of fact
Sytch structures are opposed to good
public policy. Private enterprise does
not engage in this, or any other BUSH
ness expenditures. unless it can see a
fair and reasonable return upon its
Investment 1t is right that the men
Who build bridges for the convenience
OF the public, should have a fair and
liberal margin of profit on their in
vestment. No man should be expected
to do business for his health. At the
same time, as Il matter Of good public
policy, it would be wiser for any COM
nunity to build ard maintain It's own
bridges. 1t is possible, of course, that
a community where the bridge is
located might make much less use Of 1t
than some other communities lying be-
You'd, and who, under existing condi-
tions would not be burdened with the
expense of construction or mainten-
ance. 1t was to reach such people that
toll bridges were constructed, the idea
being based upon the theory that the
people who actually used such bridges
were the ones benefited by them, and
should therefore be made to bear the
burden Of expense attendant upon
them.
While this view of the situation looks
reasonable on the face of it, and is not
without its justification. little retiec-
ton will convince us that is not entire
ly free from fallacy. 1t is conceivable
that q community might reap large
financial rewards from n bridge which
was comparatively little used by its
own citizens, but which brought to
them the trade of the surrounding
towns. The traveller paying five cents
to the toll bridge-keeper might leave a
hundred times as much with the hotel
keepers and merchants before leaving
town, and it would not be a serious
question whether the community pro-
fitted most by the five cents of the $500.
1t is upon the theory of distributing
the expense bridges that the State has
asked to assume u portion of the eX-
pense to maintain such structures. II Is
argued that, inasmuch as they are for
the benefit of the general public there
fore the general public should pay for
them. Such an argument is not without
its force, and it must be admitted that
the number of people who take this
view of the situation has materially
increased in recent years. Any general
policy of State aid to such enterprises
should be very carefully considered,
and thoroughly safe-guarded before be-
ing put into practical operation.
Meanwhile, every thing possible should
be done 10 do away with the list of toll
bridges within our State limits. For
the credit of our State let US have the
best highways possible. and let them
be entirely free to the great travelling
public.

Dora Morrill, relates the following in
stance in the Gardiner Reporter-Jour-
nal: II know an instance where three
ladies living in country village did n
kindness to n well-to-do woman and
she was really grateful to them, so she
wished to express the sentiment as
best she might, but she did not put
herself in their place even partly or
she would have found a more accept
able present than that which she sent
them. TO each she sent a large hand
some ostrich feather fan, the kind
where one plume goes to a stick of the
fan. Each probably cost more than the
women had ever had to spend on lux
uries and there was nothing in the
house-as the giver knew-to agree at
all with these pretty things. What do
you suppose the recipients did with
their fans? They tackled them to the
walls. so they had quite decoration of
| ostrich plumes. 1t never seems as if
one who gives so very appropriately
as that really takes much thought even
| if she does spend much money. It is
| much easier to give money than
| thought, and because SO many do there
| is such dissatisfaction with ones gifts.
| There's not much pleasure either to
giver or receiver when nothing but
| money goes to the making of a gift
and no one is so poor that he can not
give to another the happiness that
comes from a tender thought simply
| expressed.

Everybody knows of the terror which
Field Marshal Lord Roberts, the veter-
an commander in chief of the British
army and Victoria Cross hero, enter
tains for cats, the proximity Of any of
these animals producing not merely
nausea, but actual fainting spells.
But few save Lord Wolseley's intimate
friends and associates are aware of the
fact that this equally gallant soldier,
who has been wounded again and
again. being battle-scarred almost from
head to foot, is similarly affected by
the sight of raw meat.
Indeed, when in the backwoods of
Canada. he found it physically impossi-
BILE to bleed the deer that he shot and
to either clean fish or cut up any of the
game preparatory to it's being cooked
for dinner. Even to this day Wolseley
finds it trial to pass by butchers
shop, and would be unable to enter one
without suffering from nausea.
