Not in Her Class.

The eagles were holding a conven.
tion-or it might have been merely a
caucus-on the rocky crest of a lofty
hill
Proud, regal birds they were, pierre
ing of eye, sharp of beak, and strong
of claw, and all the timid creatures
of the air retreated to safe distance
and watched them with awe.
Presently, however, a wandering
turkey buzzard, attracted by curiosity,
ventured to join them
They eyed her scornfully-even
threateningly.
What are you doing here?" they
said. This is a gathering of eagles.
You are a yulture, and are not in our
class"
"You are right" replied the turkey
buzzard. 81 am of some use in the
world, while you are thieves, robbers
and murderers, and not worth con-
tinental except for show. Good-by,
and be hanged to you"
Thereupon she turned her back upon
them and few away.
Which shows, dear children, that
there are two kinds of aristocracy,
and that lofty style isn't everything.

AS illustrating that the late Senator
Quay never forgot a kindness, it is

asked that a woman be appointed post
mistress of a small town in Missis-
sippi.
ASK me for anything in Pennsyl-
vania," said the president, and it is
yours. This place is promised, and
the circumstances are peculiar. The
two factions of the party in Mississip-

How to Earn Sound Sleep.

| All doctors are not so careful OF
the welfare of their patients as they
might be. Here is a story of one who
went to the limit. He is the proprie-
tor of a famous health resort not far
from ---. When he receives. a pa
tient for treatment he says:
I Now, want it understood that I'M
| less you do exactly as | say, there is
no use of your staying"
This rule sometimes requires him to
be very harsh, but he never hesitates.
He acts on the theory that he can bet

"But | can't take walks" replied
the parson. Il haven't done any walk

They argued the question quite
warmly. AS the clergyman and doc
tor were good friends, the latter was
more lenient than usual. However,
he bided his time. The next after
noon the physician said to the clergy
man:
It's a nice day. l would like you
to go horseback riding with me-"
Riding they went. When they we're
about eight miles from the sanitarium
the physician said: ooh, doctor, won't
you get me that flower by the road
side? | don't like to leave this
horse"
AS soon as the clergyman was on
the ground the doctor galloped off
with both horses, and the clergyman
was compelled to walk back to the
Sanitarium. Upon his arrived he was
very angry, and was for packing up

rain that night, so he was forced to

morning he came down radiant and

FEARED BURIAL IN TRANCE.
Unhappy Existence Led by Victim OF
Peculiar Disease,

In one of my voyages from Cane
Town to England" writes a traveller
i shared my cabin with a peculiar
man, whose name was Lazarus. He
made me promise that if he should die
during the voyage | would prevent
MS burial at sea. He said that on
previous voyage he had fallen sick
and was taken for dead and put into
sack for burial. A quartermaster
had been put on to watch the body
Until it was time for the funeral
When the burial party arrived the
quartermaster informed the captain
that he thought the body had moved
IL the sack. The sack was opened and
Lazarus eventually came to life again
such was the story Lazarus told me
Lazarus was thin man, with a sal
low lace. He had an enormous appe.
tlte and appeared at every meal. to
which he devoted his whole energies.
The good feeling only seemed to add
to his corpselike appearance. One
evening, sure enough when we were
ABOUT half way to our voyages end,
he apparently died again. The doctors
took him in charge this time, however.
and he came out of his trance without
any shotted-sack episode. He was met
at the London docks by a number of
relatives and friends, all of whom
looked as If they might be suffering

special hospitals for Consumptives.
A hundred years ago the city of
Naples, Italy, erected a la~se hospital
for consumptiyes, and required the
isolation of all persons suffering from
this disease. 1t is only recently, how
ever, that the authorities of modern
cities have become awakened to the
Importance of this sanitary measure
Recently a number of cities have
taken steps for the establishment of
hospitals especially for the treatment
OF cases of consumption by the So
called "open-air method" Excellent
results are reported from this method
of treatment.

large central committee numbering
more than thirteen hundred persons
organized for the purpose Ct erecting
hospitals for the treatment of tuber.

thousand patients, of whom eighty per

Tue following abstracts from an ar
ticle by j. E. Stubbert, M. d., in the
Medical Record, should receive wide
and careful attention. No doubt if
these ideas could be carried out, the
white plague" would he robbed of
| much of its terror:
In ancient times it was highly i'm
proper to expose a tuberculous pa
tient, especially one beyond the first
stage, to breath of fresh air except
ON the mildest days in summer, while
the night air was dreaded and avoided
as the plague. Then the more obsery-
ant and thoughtful men noticed that
those who lived more in the open air
did not die as quickly as the dollhouse
patients, and they began to urge an
outdoor life and moderate exercise
as a prophylactic as we'll as cure
for those in the early stages of con
sumption. Those in the more advanC-
ed stages were allowed fresh air only
when it was at summer temperature,
but even this was better than being
Kept indoors in warm, ill-ventilated
rooms the whole year.
There are several plans by which
the victim of tuberculosis may con-
tinuously breathe pure, fresh air by
night as well as by day. Sleeping out
IN the open air is not harmful to a
large majority of tuberculous people. |
Mlllet, of Brockton, Mass, reports
the cases OF five patients whom he |
recommended to sleep out of doors at
night. They were allowed no roof
over their heads except in rainy
weather. They wore soft felt hats
and cotton nightshirts, sleeping under
ordinary bedclothes in beds arranged
on the roofs of their houses. In
proVement was noted in two weeks.
Coughs disappeared, temperatures be-
came normal respirations were easier
and weight increased rapidly. No at
lent1on was paid to dampness and
drafts, and heavy dews were regarded
as announcement simply because of the
necessity of drying the bedclothes.
Sleeping in small room with an
open window does not appear to be
nearly so beneficial to the patient as
when the nights are passed on YER
lnda or in tent where there is
rec circulation of air on all sides. If
patient were fortunate enough to
lave a large room with a southern ex-
'osure and containing one or two
pen fireplaces, in addition to large
windows on three sides, which might &

pprOXimately the benefit incident to y
