FOREIGN TRAINING SCHOOL
Prejudice Against Medical Tnstitu-
tions in Asia Gradually
Disappearing.

Missionaries, religious, medical and
otherwise, are steadily overcoming the
opposition of peoples who through ig-
norance or prejudice or both have pre-
vented the adoption of humane and
scientific methods Of caring for their
sick. Hospitals are not unknown in
many of these countries, but as in some
Instances they are maintained in spite
of marked Indifference by many classes
Of people, their existence does not SO
much indicate change in public opln-
ion as does the demand for trained
nurses. This, says American Medicine,
surely means the recognition of modern
methods of combating disease and its
Importance to the inhabitants, espe-
cially the women, can hardly be esti-
mated. 1t Is with satisfaction we note
that efforts are being made to establish
a training school in Asia Minor, and
another in Turkey. The former is as
sured, being in connection with the
Syrian Protestant college at Beirut,
where there has been a medical school
since 1867; Miss Van Zandt, of New
York, has sailed to take charge of the
new school. The other is to be part of
the American hospital and training
school for nurses, which will be estab-
lished in Constantinople by DR.. T. S.
Darlington, who for some years has
maintained small hospital at Marso-
van. DR.. Darlington is now in this
country to raise funds for the institu-
ton. The demand for nurses, even in
Turkey, appears to insure the success
Of the school if it be started. The
need for medical enlightenment in these
countries scarcely needs mention, a
recent instance of Arabian native prac.
tice being the dosing of patients with
American newspapers soaked in oil
Were emesis alone required, we are con-
strained to believe the guileless Arab
obtained wonderful results from the ju-
dicious employment of certain of our
noted dailies.

HAILSTONES AND EGGS.
The Comparison Between Them Is
Something Impossible
to Dodge.

There Is some strange relation be-
tween hailstorms and poultry, or be-
tween hailstones and eggs, that fas-
cinates mankind. The hailstone may
be lodged, the egg should be lodged,
but the comparison between hailstones
and eggs never can be lodged, says the
Washington Star. 1t is impossible to
get away from it. Whenever there is
hailstorm, when tender plants are
cut to death and window glass is shiv-
cred, the hailstones are always the
size of hens eggs. Nobody ever heard
Of hailstone the size of baseballs, wal
nuts or potatoes, or the size of macadam
rock, golf balls, tomatoes or the fist,
but ever and always the size of eggs.
Yet eggs vary in size.
No chicken fancier would think Of
pointing to cackling hen and saying:
"She lays eggs as big as hailstones."
There really should be no comparison
between hailstones and eggs. A show
er OF hailstones is a work Of nature,
while a shower Of eggs is apt to be a
work of ill-nature. A shower of hail
stones may be destructive, but show
er of eggs is positively insanitary.
The longer a hailstone stays on earth
the more inconspicuous it becomes,
while the longer an egg stays on earth
the more convinced we are that 1t
Is here.

THE SCHOOLS OF POLAND.
Country in Which the Per Cent. of
Illiterate People Is Very
Large.

In the kingdom of Poland, with its
$4,000 square kilometers, somewhat
less thickly settled than Galicia, it is
true, having only 73 inhabitants per
square kilometer, there are less than
1900 common schools, writes David
Bell Macgowan, in "The Future of Po-
land" Fifty per cent. of the adult
population of Warsaw is illiterate.
With school population of 10000 be.
tween Z and IA, this city has total
primary school accommodation for
not more than 10000. The public
schools, conducted in an alien Ian
guage .(Russian), have a capacity for
only $4,000; an equal number are ac-
commodated in the Jewish schools
which teach Yiddish and Hebrew, while
private enterprise gives facilities for
10000 or 10000. The first common
school building ever erected in War
saw was opened in 1903. All the others
are housed in second-class private
lodgings. Lemberg, Galicia, with only
100000 inhabitants, has 80 handsome
schoolhouses.

IRONTON. MO-. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 90. /.
From Rev. l. B. Manly.

Dear Mr.. Ake.-Since first meet
ing you the REGISTER has been
placed at my service, for which !
again thank you, and use this
method of letting the people hear
from me.
For beauty, Arcadia Valley is
ideal, but l found, and others saw,
that the winters were too long and
cold for me, therefore l sought the
sunny South, and find myself
quite pleasantly situated to-day at
Crockett, Texas (named for David
Crockett), a town of 5000 people,
the county seat of Houston coun-
ty, a distance of $40 miles from
Arcadia and 113 from the city OF
Houston. The weather is warm
frost, however, has fallen, but
there are young vegetables in the
garden, the flowers are blooming
and children are at school bare
footed. AS for my part, l prefer
shoes, even in Texas. AS to
vegetables, one onion will do my
family an entire winter; but be-
hold, in my back yard I found a
long bed of green onions! At this
time l shall be generous" and
give the onions to DR.. Farmhouse,
as I do not want them.
Our church is a handsome struc-
ture, conveniently situated two
blocks from Court square and the
business center. OF it, other
churches and public interests l will
write later.
The country is rolling, with good
drainage and abundance of wood
and water cisterns and wells.
Limited means will secure a good
home in town or out mile OF
more. One good crop year will
about double the prices, so now is
the time to buy.
trust you and your readers will
have a happy ChristmassF | am
amid new scenes and strange faces,
and naturally my mind wanders
back to the valley of snow and ice,
Missouri's Switzerland. The night
we left Arcadia suggest the lines
of Moore:
AS slow our ship her foaming track
Against the wind was cleaving,
Her trembling penant still looked back
| To that dear isle twas leaving.
| So loath we part from all we love,
| From all the links that bind us;
So turn our hearts where'er rove,
To those we left behind us.
l. B. MANLY.

King Of All Cough Medicin es.

Mr.. E. G. Case, mail carrier of
Canton Center, Conn.,, who has
been in the U. S. service for about
sixteen years, says: "We have
tried many cough medicines for
Group, but Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is king of all and one to
be relied upon every time. We
also find it the best remedy for
coughs and colds, giving certain
results and leaving no bad after
effects. We are never without it

Letter From Arkansas.

CLIO, ARK, Dec. II, 1905.
Ed. Register :-"Have we grown
beyond the Republic and must our
present form of government merge
into either Socialism or Autoc-
racy? There are strong tendencies
i'll both directions, and the con-
sensus seems to be that however
well the Fathers built for their gem
Grafton the old edifce is not ade-
quate to the uses of their children.
l have quoted the above editorial
from the REGISTER, and | give you
the answer from the writings of
one of Americas great statesmen,
John P. Altgeld. On page 205 of
his book, "Live Questions" I find
the following; "In spite of the
law these organizations seem to
thrive, and while the law is based
upon common justice, it is appar-
ent to the most casual observer
that the tendency of modern times
is toward consolidation. In gov
ernments of the world the little
principalities and kingdoms are
disappearing. In the commerce
Of the world larger ships are in
use. In the mercantile world we
have larger stores; in the railroad
world larger railroads; in the agri-
cultural world larger farms; and
in the manufacturing world larger
factories. Wherever we see the
comprehensive intelligence of the
nineteenth century actively at
work, there seems to be a tendency
to concentration and consolidation
to simplify and to enlarge. 1t is
so easy for these powerful COM
binations to evade the law that it
is very doubtful whether their
growth can be arrested. 1t is a
question whether there is any
other way Of preserving an equi-
librium in our institutions than by
organization and concentration of
counterbalancing forces"
Again, on page 502, Of the same
book, / find these significant
words: "a government that stands
with its face toward the past, and
cannot adjust itself to the new
conditions that are constantly be-
ing evolved, is not suited to this
age" And there is another book,
Brother AXE, much more ancient,
from which / quote as follows:
elbow long halt We between two
opinions2 If the Lord be God,
follow him; but ii Baal, then fol-
low him." F. p. HILBURN.

Stubborn Coughs.

A cough which fingers on long
after every other symptom of a
cold has disappeared should have
attention, as it indicates some
throat or lung trouble and may re-
suit seriously. Mr.. Alexander
Mcmillan, of Maple Ridge, Mich,
recommends Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy for this trouble. He says;
81 used this remedy for stubborn
cough with the best results and
think there is nothing like it. l

PYgmy Marriages.

Some hitherto unpublished facts
about the habits Of the African pyg.
lines are contained in pamphlet Just
published by Col. Harrison, who
brought from central Africa the party
of little people now in London. The
pygmies generally marry at the age
Of eight or nine, and the men buy
the wives with three or four spears
and ten to fifteen arrows, according to
the market value Of the lady. They
pay by installments, and not until the
last arrow is handed over is the lover
allowed to take his bride. A man
may have as many wives as he can
afford to buy.
