The Day After.

It is a strange omission that the
day after. supreme and epoch making
period of time. should have failed to
receive the homage which is its just
prerogative.
De Quincy. in his powerful bit of
word painting entitled The Knocking
at. the Gate" dwells on the thought
that in Macbeth" the climax of the
tragedy. the moment most truly
fraught with terror. is not the Il in
which occurs the murder OF Duncan.
or when the guilty pair nerve them
selves for its accomplishment. but the
moment when the first knocking at the
gate is heard. With that summons
from without comes an instant and
terrible realization of what has taken
place. In that moment of horror is
condensed all the meaning Of past
crime and future retribution as in a
lightning flash.
The magnitude of what has happened
cannot be measured until the first
touch of reaction has been felt. We
cannot tell what has really occurred
till the day after.-Atlantic.

The Antinui,, al Ho.pital..

Many centuries before the Christian

institutions which performed the func-

Hebrews called Bethesda, but this was

According to Lecky C'History of Euro
pean Morals'), the first hospital was
founded by a Roman lady named Fa-
biOla, about the fourth century. at
Rome. Soon after another hospital was
founded by st. Pammachus, and an
other by St. Basil at Cpsarea. During
the crusades numerous hospitals arose
in all parts of Europe. San Spiritu.

1904 at Rome. The first hospital in
England was built by Lanfranc, arch

1t is generally known that Napo-

Too Small to obey.

When a certain couple were married
the wife was sixteen years old and big
and buXom. The husband was two
years her senior, but slim to thinness
and not up to the average in height.
Ten years passed, and the couple got
along as we'll as many couples do, but
the wife was hard to manage. With
the fight of time she became larger,
while her theoretical lord and master
added not an inch to his stature nor an

How to Make Pine Woods.

Farmers in the White mountains
have discovered, or learned, what farm
ers elsewhere are slow to ascertain. 1t
is that if you lop off the lower limbs of
balsams when they are young the
limbs will not grow again. Thus the
tree as lumber will be improved. 1t
will be freer Of knots.
Certain hotel owners. desiring pine
lands near their hotels on account of
healthfulness. asked a government for
ester how to get them. The reply was:
"Cut off the hard woods, then turn the
cattle in to pasture for three years.
That will keep down the shoots Of the
hard woods, and the pines, which cat
tie avoid, will grow up, and their
needles will keep down other growths.'

One Cause of Deafness.

Deafness is often caused by the
violence with which people blow their
noses,'' said a New York specialist in
eye and ear diseases. There is an in
innate relation between the aural and
nasal passages. You sometimes feel
it when you are bathing and get your
nose full of water. Then you will find
more deafness in localities where the
residents are subject to catarrh. In the
%straining attendant on blowing the
nose persons stretch the eardrum.
Sometimes they burst the membrane.

where deafness came suddenly after a

A Bad RUNAWAY.


Monday evening as Mrs. Stewart
eldest daughter of Charley Prange
was driving down Main street in
her buggy, she heard the clatter OF
running horses behind her. She i'm

tried her best to get out Of the way
but the runaway team over took her
and crashing into the buggy, abso,
lutely demolished IT. Mrs. Stewart
crawled out from among the scraps
Of the broken buggy and tangled
horses and Immediately became I'M.
conscious, in which condition she re
manned until one O'Clock. She is bad.
ly bruised and hurt about the back
and side.
The runaway team belonged to
Charley BlOOmheart. He was at the
Santa Fee depot unloading some straw
berries, when his team became fright
ened and started to run. They ran
against the lamp post and threw the
driver out and then had free swing
down the street. The only mystery
about the matter is that Mrs. Stew
art was not killed. From some cause
runaways on the streets are becoming
altogether too common for comfort OF
safety. We see no way tOavoid them
only for people to be a little more
careful with their horses.

DEAD.

Poor Frank Gay, who was hurt a

Reyes livery barn, died last Satur-
day, from his injuries and was buried
Sunday in ElmwoOd. Frank was an
honest, harmless man and great
worker. He has been almost blind for
some years. His life might have
been saved by an amputatiOn. but
Frank said no. He said he could not
make living with but one leg and
poor eyesight and preferred to die to
becoming burden on friends and rel
ativeS.
There has not been much sunshine
in this mans life. At one time he
owned comfortable home ia Cha
mute and his mother kept house for
him and he was prosperous. But his
mother died and he had no home. His
eyesight failed and reverses came and
life looked dark to Frank. So when
the accident came Frank preferred
death to being blind cripple.

Bladder troubles almost always result
from arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel

taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-RoOt, the
