A Dreaded Quilt.

Queen Victoria was an expert and
indefatigable knitter. During the
Egyptian campaign she and the ladies
Of the household employed themselves
in knitting quilts, which at the end
of the war were sent to Netley Hos
pital for the use of the wounded. One
of these, made entirely by her Majesty
and bearing an elaborate V. r. In the
center, was the coverlet par excellence
of the institution and in universal de-
mand for time. In assessing the
claims of the candidates for the honor
of sleeping upon it the medical staff
naturally gave the precedence to the
most severely wounded, and as the
most severely wounded was the one
most likely to die very soon, alas, an
evil omen attached itself to the distinc-
ton, the climax of which was reached
one night when poor soldier, feeling
something touching his bedciet.hes,
woke up with perspiration pouring
down his face and cried out, ooh, sir,
do anything you like with me, but for
Gods sake don't give me the quilt~

LLOYD C. GRIscoM. can minister, Lloyd
G. Griscom, during this period The
Japanese are sensitive people and a
little less of wisdom and tact and the
good offices of America might come
with less acceptance than they have
thus far Nothing could exceed the
kind feeling existing in Japan to-day
toward the United States, and this
feeling has been greatly enhanced by
the American minister.
Mr.. Griscom Is one of the youngest
men holding such an important posi-
ton under our government He sue
ceeded the late Col. Alfred e. Buck,
who died early in 1908. He represent
ed our government in Persia before
going to Japan, and was also before
that charge d'atfaires in Constantine
pie. In both places he distinguished
himself by his efforts to secure full
recognition OF the rights of Americans
without friction or unpleasantness.
American interests have never been
cared for In Japan with more dignity
and safety. and Mr.. Griscom holds
not only the constantly growing re-
spect and admiration of the resident
Americans and travellers through
Japan. whom he always receives with
rare grace and cordiality, but he
commands the esteem and regard OF
the diplomatic corps and the japanese
government.

Fat and to the Point.


SIr. Paul Thieman, whoever he may
be, says something in recent issue OF
a Denver paper which is pat and to the
point. We herewith produce the first
few paragraphs of his article:
When one beholds the complacent
failure to comprehend the nature and
condition of Far Western irrigation, it
is maddening. have seen one man,
who is thoroughly posted, almost break
into wild tears of rage over the ever
recurring evidences that the people at
large, the people right here, the ma
tional government, the State govern
ments, do not appreciate national irri-
cation, and that the public informa-
ton and the individual knowledge Of
the subject at this time are strangely
dense. The public is fed constantly
with lovely articles about the grand
national irrigation works under way,
while the fact is that all the great
values mentioned concerning reclama-
ton Of the arid region are the result of
private initiative and enterprise and
capital.
Few people understand that the ma
tional irrigation fund is nothing but a
bulk of capital which may be advanced
to build reservoirs and bitches, upon q
guarantee that the owners of the lands
to be irrigated will repay the cost to
the fund. The national fund is not to
be depleted, but must be replenished
by the payment back of the cost of the
work, as assessed by the government
engineers, and If signatures to such
pledges can't be secured, the works
proposed will not be built.
Knowing that all government work
costs vastly more than If done by pri-
vate capital, and the United States
failing to guarantee the limit of the
cost, lots of landowners won't sign.
and there you are. Meantime the gov
eminent officials knock private enter
prises and warn the people against
them, when, as the situation stands.
it is only private enterprise, in pro-
noting irrigation district bonds, In Col
orado, at least, that is really doing any
thing.

ENGLISH DOCTORS FEES.
They Are Regulated by the Royal Coll
lege of Physicians.

They Are Regulated by the Royal COLI
lege of Physicians.
The specialists must be divided into
two distinct classes, the surgeon prop.
er and the pure physician. The former
unquestionably gets big fees In ratio
to his reputation. The famous sur
geon has only to name his fee to the
millionaire with appendicitis. With
the fear of death before his eyes he
will write his check gladly. When
he has recovered he will often grum-
BILE if he does not boast. A younger
and less known man will perform the
same operation for a 1.-THE of the cost,
but the public, with death staring
them in the face. will have the man
with the big name, regardless of ex-
pense.
But the pure physician is an entirely
different matter. His fees are stand
ardized not by act of Parliament, but
by that autocratic body, the Royal Col
lege of Physicians. Ills fees for con-
sultation at his own house are fixed
at guineas the first visit and a
guinea for each subsequent one. For
consultations away from home he re-
ceives q fee at the calculated rate OF
two-thirds Of guinea a mile. Elstree,
twelve miles out of town, is ipso2 facto
s guineas, Liverpool col miles, is 1874
guineas, and so on pro rata. But 1t
must be remembered that nowadays
all the big provincial centers have
their own specialists, and the town
man is very seldom sent for unless he
be one of the very biggest names and
the case desperate and rich.
If the physician should accept more
he transgresses that professional fe-
itch, medical etiquette" and is brand
ed quack by his less lucky Dreth-
rem.

set could not accomplish as much work
as the great steam excavator shown in
the illustration performs in eight
hours. The burning sun or rain in tor
rents has no terrors for this mammoth
earth-devouring monster. The scene
is from photograph of the construc-
ton work on the irrigation canal in
CoIusa County, California. The arti-
fetal river thus created is six miles
long 100 feet wide, and SO feet to the
top of its banks. The Sacramento riv-
err furnishes the water which makes
fertile 10000 acres of fruit ranches.
The excavator travels on it's own
canal, and as the work proceeds the
track is taken up and relaid ahead
Of the machine.
The steel buckets, which have sharp,
cutting edges, move constantly by
means of endless chains, and empty
their load of earth first on one side,
then on the other. Wide endless belts
carried on rollers carry the earth to
The sides of the ditch.
All these movements of the machine
are controlled by one leverman, who
may be seen in the cut standing on
the platform on the left of the bucket.
He has control of five separate levers,
one for raising and lowering the buck
ct chain, one for moving the car to
the right, and another for moving the
ear to the left, and another for moving
it forward on the side track, and the
eth controls the engine. The rapid
ty and facility with which all these
movements are made is surprising, es-
pecially considering the momentum
and immense weight of the ear and
bridge and the excavator's machinery,
which is about 300 tons.

passionately fond of vigorous sport,
especially horseback riding, at which

English and French fiuently. His type
is more American in its aspect than
