Acknowledgement women, bankers,

Margaret? Margaret who?" strang-
ers would ask.
why, Margaret, the orphans
FRIEND was the inevitable reply.
l People had forgotten any other
! name but that of "the orphans
friend" Every day her bank account
was growing. Every day she was be-
coming rich woman, and every day
and every hour she was giving, giving,
giving to the orphan boy or girl
Catholic, Protestant-all. She gave
her work, her money, her love, lavish
ly asking for nothing in return but
to see the Destitute and unhappy
helped and comforted.
AS she grew rich, people would
wonder that she did not change her
manner of life, smarter up, wear
something better than the plain skirt
and loose sacque which had become
a familiar costume from one end of
New Orleans to the other. One day
lady said to her, "Why don't you
buy fine dress, Margaret, and look
like other people?"
"Ah, madam" said Margaret,
there's too much suffering in the
world"
The three largest homes for chill
dren in New Orleans resulted from
Margaret Haughery's efforts almost
entirely, while the Home for the Aged
and lnfirm is one of her benefactions.
For forty-six years this woman toll
ed for others, and accumulated a
fortune of 100000, all of which was
expended upon the poor Without
education-scarcely able to write
even and with no capital except
common sense, integrity, and an over
whelming desire to help her fellow
beings, this uneducated Irishwoman
accomplished great work.
When sickness came to Margaret,
who had none of her blood to smooth
her pillow, the weathiest and most
| fashionable ladies of aristocratic New
Orleans were eager to minister to her
wants and needs. When she passed
out from the world she had made
better, purer, and happier because of
her humble life in it, on the 9th of
February, 1882, the city government,
the New Orleans Merchants Associa-
| ton, bankers, officers of the Cotton
Exchange and Chamber of Commerce
gathered at the funeral, the services
of which were conducted by the Arch
bishop of the diocese.
Thousands of people stood bare
headed in the streets as the pail bear
| ers passed, followed by the children of
eleven orphan asylums, white and
black, Protestant and Catholic. Fire
companies, of the of which, "Missis-
sippi No. g." she was an honorary
member, filed along in the immensely
long procession that followed her to
her last resting place. Sermons from
| the pulpits of almost all the churches
| were preached the next Sunday, and
Margaret's life was the text; and not
long afterward the city erected
statue to her memory-the first statue
in honor of a woman ever erected in
| the United States. The monument
stands on Camp street, in front of the
| asylum she worked for SO long. It
represents Margaret sitting in a rustic
| chair, clothed in the familiar
skirt and sacque, little shawl about
her shoulders, and with a little child
within the shelter of her generous,
| loving arms. The word margaret"
carved on the pedestal.

cries for aid when the robber shot
her through the heart, killing her in
stantly. Mrs. Wilson, who was looking
back at the time, fell in faint. The
murderer escaped.

OPEN AIR TREATMENT.

Reasons For It's Good Results In
Cases Of Consumption.
The advantages Of the open air treat
ment for consumptives may be thus
briefly summarized: The patient ex-
posed continuously to fresh air gains In
appetite, assimilates his food better
sleeps more soundly and awakens more
refreshed. Free exposure to air Is the
best antipyretic. Sweating at night
formerly SO common symptom, usual
ly ceases. Colds are practically un-
known among patients leading an open
air life. Secondary infection, on ac-
count Of the comparative freedom Of
the air from micro organisms, is much
less likely to occur. Tolerance Of out
side air is very quickly established, and
no one who has tried the open air life
will willingly go back to the former
conditions Of STIFFNESS. / have never
seen any one made worse by exposure
to fresh air. Even during thick Lon
don fog patients get on better lying In
bed on balcony or In rooms with win
dows wide open and good fire burn
ing than when attempts are made to
shut out the fog by keeping the win
dows shut.-Dr. HI. w. G. Mackenzie
in London Lancet.
