adjudged by the board have been quite
sad, but others again, of a less serious
nature
On Monday the 18th, Emma Kellough
was brought in on the morning train
by her husband from Westhope, suffer

caused by her brooding over religious
matters The case was duly brought
for examination before the board of
insanity, but was not considered
very severe case. in fact not sufficient
to warrent her committal to the James
town Asylum. She was returned in
charge of her husband who will see
to her receiving adequate treatment
in her own home. It is to be hoped
she will soon recover.

The husband had made repeated efforts

tendency as time has gone on has been
to decrease losses on the battlefield
through improvements made in sani-
tary arrangements, in the medical and
surgical treatment of the wounded and
in ballistic arms. The figures which
DIR. Elkind cites are extremely interest
ing. Between 1741 and 1878, including
the Turkish war, out of each
hundred men hit twenty five perished
campaigns the percentage of immediate
deaths varied between III and 15 per
cent The more perfect the training
and discipline of the troops the greater

is admitted. Battles between contend

when the losers lost one-half Of one
per cent, whereas Russian armies have
not been defeated in some cases until
the ranks have been reduced to the ex-

among the various troops. In the
Franco-German war the number of
killed in the infantry amounted to
nearly SO per cent, as against somewhat

friendly advice" given Japan at the
close of her war with China, and hack

empire wants no more of such friend

too shrewd and cautious to risk, for
the spectacular advantage of an open

which alone would command respect

delicate as fairy ringlets, others were
massive and twisted as cables.

was helpless; her fingers were so slen-

Madly she tangled the perplexins
things before she let them fall clanking
about her. She laughed long and light

how and 'twould spoil her beauty to
cry.

fable of ennui, pretty girl whom good
fortune is spelling? More heavily

Sitting amid your shining fetters you

cine. 1 don't know whether you know
it or not, but styles in favoring ex-
tracts used by druggists change with
the seasons, the same as hats and coats
and dinner table decorations Last
spring the majority of prescriptions

Before that peppermint was the favor

the way, has It's innings most ire

peppermint but there are more who do.

times as often as any other essence

other ingredients more harmo-

there are some doctors who
are old fashioned enough to stick to 1t
year In and year out, no matter what
their more up-to-date brethren may
be using for time. Fortunately, the
flavor of a prescription has nothing to
do with it's efficacy, so if a doctor feels
like it he can make fool of himself,
as did just now, and satisfy the whim
of a fashionable patient by fiavoring
her tonics with an essence that matches
her perfumes without endangering her
life However, freak fiavors are not
calculated TO make a disagreeable drug
more pleasant to the taste, and after a
few experiments of that kind most doc
tors, at the request Of the patients
themselves, go back to lavender and

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

The economic causes usually as
worker are the oversupply, due to the
fact that so few occupations are open
to her. the lack of organization among
woman wage-earners, the fact that
women are seldom brought up to the
trade" and consequently>are less high
ly skilled than men, the influence of
custom and public opinion and the po-
litical disabilities of women, says Edith
Abbott in Harper's Weekly
The most recent and authoritative
statement on the subject by an econo-
mist of note is to be found in Profess
sor Nicholson's new Elements of Po-
litical Economy" He say: When
large numbers of women were en-
ployed in the same industries as men
the tendency was for the men to gain
the advantage in industrial competi-
ton; they were superior in physical
strength and still more so in moral
coercion.
Thus women were gradually ex-
cluded from the more gainful cccupa-
tons and by force of habit they came
to be considered unwomanly. Until
recently, though half the people in
the world are females. there was still
a prejudice against lady doctors, and
though women are often litigants,
they are rarely lawyers, even if the
law permits. The exclusion of women
from certain occupations increased the
supply and thus lowered the wages in
an, r,Ioynents IN which thay rara 81
mitted. In recent years, however, the
great natural economic forces have
been working in favor of women"

THE SCARED HERO.

The man who goes down with his
engine in wreck is considered worthy
of great commentator, when the
truth is, as all railway men are aware,
that the unfortunate in such cases lost
his nerve at the critical moment and
hesitated to jump. When an accident
is impending the cool and collected en-
gineer shuts off steam, applies the
brakes and opens the valves, all of the
actions taking a few seconds. Then
he looks out for his own safety. An
other man becomes so frightened in
the presence of great danger that he
does nothing, not even the possible,
and he is the person likely to wear a
martyrs crown.-Locomotiv Engi-
neering.
