SoIicitude Under the Circumstances
Not Unreasonable.
The late Father Scully, of Cam
bridge, Mass, told the following story
at temperance lecture in Medford:
There was a man in Cambridge who
was a confirmed drunkard and whose
friends had tried hard to reform him.
Father Scully met him one day, and
thought he would try new way of
reform. He told the man if he did not
stop drinking he would turn into rat.
This had a great effect. The unfor-
tunate commenced to brood over it.
He started for home, and sat for hours
thinking he was going to turn into a
rat. Finally he called his wife and
said: Mary, if you see me turning
into a rat, for Gods sake keep your
eye on the cat

Many of the inventions that are

of tools that can be used by practi-

is an automatic telephone message
recorder. The invention is the work of
German and it has been taken up
and improved by an American con-

Special Hospitals for consumptives.

Special Hospitals for Consumptives.
A hundred years ago the city of
Naples, Italy, erected large hospital
for consumptives, 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.
The German government has a
large central committee numbering
more than thirteen hundred persons,
organized for the purpose CT erecting
hospitals for the treatment of tuber-
culosis This committee has under it's
supervision seventy-four such hospi-
tails, and last year treated over thirty
thousand patients, of whom eighty per
cent were returned to their homes
practically cured after remaining il
the hospitals on an average of little
less than three months.

The following abstracts from an ar
ticle by ]. 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 be robbed of
much of its terror:
In ancient times it was highly i'm
proper to expose a tuberculous pa
tent, especially one beyond the first
stage, to a 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 observ-
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 prophylactic as well 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.
Millet, 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. I'm
provement was noted in two weeks.
Coughs disappeared, temperatures be-
came normal, respirations were easier
and weight increased rapidly. No at
tention was paid to dampness and
drafts, and heavy dews were regarded
as inconvenient simply because of the
necessity of drying the bedclothes.
Sleeping in a 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
anda or in a tent where there is
free circulation of air on all sides. If
a patient were fortunate enough to
have large room with a southern ex-
posture and containing one or two
open fireplaces, in addition to large
windows on three sides, which might
be opened at night, he might derive
approximately the benefit incident to
tent life.
McGraham, of South Carolina, pre-
fers the circular to the army tent, and
thinks it better to place it on plat
form two feet from the ground, and
to do without carpets and draperies.
Draperies are not necessary, but rugs
add greatly to the comfort and con-
venience of those in i'll health, and
their use can be made perfectly safe
by exposing them to the sunlight for
a few hours daily.

FORMS OF DISEASE GERMS.
Harmless Varieties May Suddenly
Change Their Nature.

It is common belief that the germs
Of disease flourish only in the human
organism, and that, II we could once
eradicate an infectious malady, 1t
would stay eradicated. 1t now seems
very probable that this is untrue. Ac-
cording to view held wholly or par
TALLY by many pathologists. and
strongly upheld by Prof Bodin, dis
ease germs are only accidentally yiru.
lent, their normal existence being
what is called "saprophytic," that is,
independent OF any other organism.
When one Of these harmless varieties
changes its nature so as to become
parasitic, We have a new disease. oh.
seryation has shown that many kinds
of bacteria are very unstable, and are
constantly forming new varieties. It
is possible, therefore, that potential
germs of typhoid, lockjaw, or con.
sumption may be growing harmlessly
about US, to assume. a virulent para
sltic life at some future time.-Lon,

RESCUED HIS BRIDE.
Missionary Saves Miss Donaldson and
Leads Her to the Altar.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 27.-Ship-
wrecked off the coast of Japan after
wild night at sea, and rescued by
fellow passenger wnom she three
days afterwards married, Miss Floy
Donaldson, of La Porte, Iowa, has
undergone an experience which makes
the imaginary situation of an ordin-
airy novel tame by comparison.
After the wreck of the Anto Maru
twenty-six passengers, including Miss
Donaldson, were capsized in a life
boat, but all weer rescued. Miss
Donaldson was on her way to Seoul,
Korea, as a missionary.
The steamer was on the sea of
Japan, when, during severe storm
at night, the vessel was driven off it's
course. The vessel struck rock and
in a moment the seas were washing
over it's decks. The passengers, PAN
ic-stricken, seized -preservers and
the lifeboat began filling.
Miss Donaldson had slipped into
the boat, which was about ready to
put off, when a half-crazed Korean,
jumped from the steamer into the
boat, causing it to capsize. Another
boat was lowered and the work Of
picking up the passengers COM
menced.
Rev. Wade Koone rescued Miss
Donaldson. Grasping at her hand, ne
raised from the water the half-un-
conscious girl. A Korean woman
was clinging to her waist and Chi
naman had his arms in deathlock
about the Korean woman.
Miss Donaldson and her rescuer
were married three days later on their
arrival at Seoul. They will continue
their missionary work together.

OF WASHINGTON
TIMBER LANDS MAY CREATE
SENSATION.
Situation in This State Said to be
Worse Than in Oregon-After
Evidence.

A special dispatch from Seattle to
the Tacoma Ledger says: From a
source closely connected with local
government offices it is learned that
Investigations into extensive timber
land frauds in the state Of Wash
ington are now being made by a
corps Of special secret service
agents, and that accusations as big
as those Of Oregon are already prom
ised. Already evidence, it is stated,
has been secured duplicating several
government officials and local poll
ticians in the deals, besides a num-
Der of the wealthy men of the
state, only a portion of whom are en-
gagged in handling timber lands as a
business.
AS in Oregon, it is said the opera
lions have been conducted by a ring
Of grafters who have secured locators
by the score and presented to the
government Forged and perJureQ evil
dence on which patents were issued.
One man against whom it is said
mass of evidence has been gathered
is a former state office holder.
Prior to a week ago last Monday
when eight suits were filed in the
United States district court to can
eel 5000 acres of timber land claims,
secured by fraud and afterward sold
to timbermen, it had been known that
a quiet investigation had been going
on, but the extent of the work was
never believed to take in a large
scope. On the information furnish
ed it can be stated that if the facts
are as represented, Washington will
have as large a scandal in timber
lands as it's sister state, and proba-
bly, on a scale duplicating a greater
of persons.
