TWO INCIDENTS RELATED
BY HENRY DEvEREAUx.

London, June 25.-There seems at last
q prospect of London obtaining COM
plete and efficient street ambulance or
ganization-a matter in which it has long
been behind nearly all the principal cities
of the world. In January last Metro
politan Street Ambulance association
was formed under medical auspices with
the view of raising the question In con-
nection with the London county council
election, with the result that over one
hundred of the successful candidates are
pledged to interest themselves in the es-
Establishment of a municipal ambulance
service. AT the meeting OF the associa-
ton last week number of resolutions
urging the county council to tackle the
question were proposed by some of the
most eminent members of the medical
profession, and it is pretty certain that
these representations will be fayorably
received, for apart from the election
pledges, the council has already given
its attention to the matter under the
guidance and inspiration of Sir William
Collins.
The voluntary associations which have
hitherto provided street ambulances are
quite inadequate to cope with the vast
daily requirements of London, and mu-
nicipal service such as Liverpool already
possesses is the only solution of the dit
ficulty. The idea is that the county coun-
Gil should work the business through the
fire brigade who can provide-probably
at very little additional expense the
ratepayers-both the horse Cuntil motor
ambulanees appear and the men, for
firemen are already trained to some ex-
tent in rendering first aid to the injured
The street fire alarms can also be ut1i-
ised for the purpose of giving calls, and
at a comparatively small expenditure OF
money it should be possible to have
properly equipped horse ambulance on the
spot in five or ten minutes whenever
street accident occur. on the average,
in London at the rate of about forty
day.

Penn and the Indians.

FROM liie 1uiNd5O AN'Ne-
William Penn. when he came to Ameri-
ca, gave a most interesting account of
the Indians whom he met. "They are
generally tall, straight, well built and or
singular proportion" he said. They
tread strong and clever, and mostly walk
with a lofty chin. OF complexion black,
but by design, as the Gypsies in England.
They grease themselves with bears fat
clarified and, using no defense against
sun and weather their skins must needs
be swarthy. Their eye is little and black.
The thick lip and fiat nose, so frequent
with the East Indians and blacks, are
not common to them; for / have seen
as comedy European-like faces among
them Of both sexes as on your side the
sea, and truly an italian complexion hath
not much more of the white and the
noses Of several of them have as much
of the Roman.
Their language is lofty" declared
Penn, yet narrow; but, like the Hebrew
in Specification, full. Like shorthand in
writing, one word served In the place of
three, and the rest was supplied in tho
understanding of the hearer imperfect
in their lenses, wanting in their moods,
participles, adverbs, conjunctions, inter-
jections. ] have made 1t my business to
understand 1t. that I might not want an
interpreter on any occasion; and must
say that ] know not a language spoken
in Europe that hath words of more sweet
ness or greatness. in accent and en-
phass, than theirs
I'm iberality they excell," Penn said.
Nothing Is too good for their friend.
Give them a fine gun, coat or other thing,
1t may pass twenty hands before it
sticks. Light of heart, strong affections,
but soon spent. The most merry crea-
lures that live. They feast and dance
perpetualy. They never have much nor
want much. Wealth circulateth like the
blood All parts partake. and though
none shall want what another hath, yet
exact observers of property"

Two incidents related by a correspond

defective state of existing arrangements.
The first was the case of a would-be
suicide pulled out of the Thames at
Blackfriars on a cold night in the win
ter. A passer-by offered to pay for
four-wheeler to take the half-drowned
man TO the hospital, but the constable
insisted upon waiting for the ambulance,
and the patient was consequently kept
on the spot, dripping with wet and shiv-
ering in the frosty air, for nearly half
an hour. In the second case man was
severely hurt In an electric-tram accident

pany.
Possibly 1t is not quite fair to mention
a romance and begin by quarreling with
the author about the very raison d'etre
of the story. Eut the theme of a young
aristocrat in love with his mothers seam
stress, while the sister, mother and pa
trician young feminine visitor TO the
home stand idly by and complain Is one
so very trite that the readers must In
evitably rebel at the very beginning. or
course, IL the reader Is only persistent
enough, a very good story may eventually
be worked out. But, who has the time
to spare these busy days on stories that
fall SO far below the average, and who
have not something worth telling which
is sure to interest the reader at once.
