FINEST HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN

FINEST HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN
So probably the finest hospital for
children in the world, the babies ward
of the New York post graduate hospital
Dis an interesting place from more than
one point of view; and it is still more
significant of human charity that those
who receive the direct benefit of this,
which is considered the most costly and
best equipped institution on earth for
healing the ills of children, are the
very poorest children of New York
city. The babies ward of the Post
graduate hospital is free. The little
ones who are carried for and healed
there are from the poorest quarters of
tn city, and the ward is supported by
some of New YOrks most wealthy wo-
men.
Some of the methods in tins hospital
are absolutely unique. In the babies
division are two departments, the sur
gical ward and the medical ward. In
the first are the children upon whom
operations have been or are to be per-
formed, and in the other are the chill
dren whose illness requires no surgery
In the former are children from two to
seven wears old and the inmates Of
the latter are mostly very young in
fants, some of them of premature birth
tiny, emaciated, and unnatural look
ing.
The finest child's hospital in the
world has another provision which
should not be overlooked, for it is a
boon to mothers. When an infant too
young to leave it's mothers breast is
taken to the hospital the parent is
permitted to remain with her child
without cost. In a special ward de-
voted to mothers and their babies she
sleeps in a cot alongside the white
Grip o. the child. AS long as their
babies are confined in the hospital the
mothers live there, too. They take
their three meals together, half dozen
dozen of these women, all wearing
dresses of the same sort--a uniform
not unlike that Of the nurses. And
when the children are well enough to be
taken from their beds the mothers
carry them in their arms to a beautiful
recreation-room at the top Of the
building, where there are flowers and
dainty curtains at the windows and
comfOrtabli cushioned chair and
lounges. For the summer there is a
rOof-garden for recreation, and here are
vines and flowers end cool shade from
the suns heat.-Leslie'7 Weekly.

THE RUSSIAN
SPY SYSTEM
THE EFFORTS MADE by RUSSIA
BEFORE THE WAR TO LEARN
JAPANESE SECRETS.

Since the advent of the present Rus
sian-Japanese imbroglio the Russian
officials in Vladivostock and elsewhere
in the Orient have spared no pains and
trouble i'm Keeping a close watch on the
Japanese in the country. 1t is we'll
known to the officials that there AFRO
many japanese within their CITY and
whereabouts acting in the capacity of
merchants, but who are in reality gov
eminent spies. Because of the stringent
measures adopted to keep the willy Ian
from seeing too much there have baan
frequent clashes between both Rus-
SANS and japanese, resulting i'm i'm
prisoned Japs and oftentimes recourse
to the MikadO's diplomatic representa-
tive, which has resulted in many cases
in the alleged offenders being sent ont
of the country.
Inc Japanese find it exceedingly diff
cult to move about i'm any part of ST.
berla or Manchuria without the Russian
ot1cials becoming cognizant of the fact
Ihis is the main reason why they (the
Japanese) are entirely at sea concern
ing the quota of Russian forces at pres
ent in the Far East.
If the Russians are ferreting out the
Japs in Siberia and Manchuria, thew are
also losing no time in studying the stra-
tegical zones of the Japanese Empire
through the medium of government
spies, who may be either Germans.
French or Englishmen. The most i'm,
portant fortified positions in Japan are
the entrance to Nagasak Harbor. and
Shimonoseki, the southern entrance to
the Inland Sea, the extensive positions
on the Island of Avail which command
the northern entrance to the Inland
Sea, and the line of works command
ing the entrance to Yokohama and To-
kio. These positions are of vital inn
portance to the Japanese and they al
low no cameras or sketching within a
several miles of any battery.
During the past few months several for
eigners who happened to be in the VI
entity of certain of these positions were
taken into custody and had consider
able difficulty in securing their release, !
The Japanese alarmist press spread the !
report throughout the country that sew
eral Russian spies had been detected
in making maps of Notifications and
had been arrested. Not a little excite
ment was caused thereby. So SUSPECT,
GUS have the Japs of late become that
any foreigner who happens to be in a
district little frequented by foreigners,
is Swallowed and followed by soldiers
and police in disguise until he makes
his way back to one of the open ports.
While the writer was standing on the
deck of a small steamer in the little
landlocked bay of Nagasak, previous
to starting on his trip to Vladivostock, |
there came aboard an elderly man, |
5lovenly in appearance and unkempt of
face, who took passage in the steerage. |
When the steamer arrived in Vladivo- |
stock this person was one of the first to |
1isembark. The next afternoon the |
writer was greeted with a most pro-
found bow from a Russian colonel of
and recognized in him the in
significant and impecunious individual |
who staggered aboard the ship at Ma

 Result From syveton-
 Andre Affair.
FRENCH DUELS ARE ABSURD
BY HENRY pEvEREAUx.

London, December 10.-I was greatly surprised at MT. Chamberlain telling a Luton audience that they were being ruined owing to English straw plating having been destroyed by foreign com petition. Most of his hearers must have been aware that the reverse is the case The Duke of Devonshire seems to have been equally surprised, and all the more when he found that MT. Chamberlain had made this assertion on the strength O. having read in a recent publication of the Luton chamber Of commerce that this terrible disaster had arisen owing t.. the demand for Panama straw hats
 which are not made in England. I hap pen to know something about the straw hat industry, owing to my having been often In Tuscany, where the principal purveyors of the braids out of which so-called straw hats are made reside
 Scme twenty years ago these braids
 were plaited in the villages around Lu- ton. The finer. however, were always imported from Tuscany and from Switz- erland. The English straw plaiters have
 never earned much beyond a pittance. To become one child had to begin plait- ing at six years old, and for the first few years the wage was nominal, for 1t is by no means easy to acquire the finger plia- | bility that is needed.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-12-18
Cultivation Is Peculiar.

The Tuscan straw is obtained by a
 peculiar method of cultivation, and by
 cutting the straw before the grain ripens.
 It is a good deal better for plating than
 English straw. A Tuscan straw platter
 can earn about 71sd. per diem. In Tus-
 cany and everywhere else straw has been
 replaced by wood chips and other such
 materials, which are a good deal cheaper.
 This Is almost entirely so in the case of
 ladies' hats, which form by far the
 greater part of the trade. Straw or
 wood chips are sent over to the English
 manufacturer plaited in what are called
 braids. These braids are about sixty
 yards long. The way wood chips came
 to be substituted for straw is curious
 In one or two villages near Modena the peasants had long been accustomed to make hats out of willow chips. As the
 material was cheaper than straw, the Tuscan braid purveyors took to using them, and soon to such an extent that
 the supply of willows failed in Italy. One of the manufacturers then heard that there were many willows in Japan, so he sent there for chips Seeing that these chips were to be used in making
 braids for hats, the Japanese soon not
 only sent chips but plaited braids made out of them, and it was soon discovered | that the latter could be delivered at Leg l horn for less than they would cost if | plaited in Italy ana at present by far | the greater number of brains used in | Europe to make hats are plaited In Ja- l pan or China. The Italian plating in l dustry has suffered from these impor- | tations. It would have been entirely de- l stroyed had 1t not been that fashions in | braids change frequently.

AbsurdIty of French pueIs.

I have always wondered why French | men, who certainly do not lack courage, and who usually have a keen sense of | the ridiculous, do not realize the absurd | ity of their duels. Neither adversary seeks to kill the other If 1t is a sword duel, each tries to give the other a scratch; If a duel wllA pistols, they are
 put at a distance which renders 1t im- probable that either will be hit. All is
 arranged by means of solemn "proto- coles" and "proces-verbaux' between the seconds. The gallant duelists let 1t be known where they are going to fight, and generally the very harmless contest
 tekes place in the presence of a host of newspaper reporters. When over, wheth- CT by neither combatant being kit by a
 ball, or by one of them getting . scratch
 from a sword, 1t Is solemnly declared
 that honour Is satisfied. and khe duelists
 and their seconds have the pleasure of
 reading an account of the tomfoolery in
 all the French newspapers.
 1t seems, too, the habit in France to
 recognize that any scamp has a right to
 challenge anyone who throws any doubt
 on the motives of his political action,
 Or who questions in the press the bona
 fdes of his financial operations. The other day. one Syveton, an obscure dep- uty, not approving of the conduct of the minister of war, suddenly rushed on him in the chamber. and peat him about the head with his fists. Three duels have been the outcome one In which a son of the minister of war. and another in which the Syveton figured as principals The result of these duels was one slight scratch. Had this occurred in the house of commons the assalant would have been handed over to the police. and everyone would have felt that he had acted so dishonestly that-even if duels were our custom-no one would have fought with or for him. But that the three French duels shoulu have only pro- duced one scratch is so ridiculous an that Frenchmen should real ly unite to put an end to such child's play.

 While Mrs Noah was sorting out the tubers the Ark collided with a small snag,
