for the prompt succor of the injured will soon be provided. The whole sub ject has been under public discussion, and the Volunteer First Aid Society of Vienna has been recommended as the best possible model for imitation. This institution, which owes its establish ment to the terrible disaster at the Ring Theatre, many years ago, is re- markedly efficient. During last year it dealt with fifteen thousand cases. It confines itself strictly to frst-aid, in order not to encroach on the privileges of the medical profession. In the prin- cipal office are telephones communica- ting with police stations, with stables and other offices. Next to it are the doctors rooms, where four doctors are always in readiness, day and night. Ii three of them are called away others are immediately summoned. Each doc tor is on duty for one and a half to two hours in the twenty-four. Over against the chief office are the stables, closed by iron roll shutters, behind which stand two ambulance wagons and two motor ambulances, harnessed and heated per- petually with coachmen and chauffeurs in attendance. Of horse vehicles there are many different sorts. The majority of them are of the landau and break type, with two full-length stretchers, which can be suspended by hooks from the roof. Besides the ambulance wag- ons there are two or three large porta- ble kitchens on wheels, one of which, during the Laibach earthquake, cooked for 10000 people, while smaller one, when some barracks were burned, easi- ly provided meals for regiment.

4 BETTER NAME.

If good name is rather to be chosen than great riches a better name is rather to be chosen than greater rich es. So we rejoice to see that what started out as The Associated Societies of New Haven is now The Associated Civic Societies of New Haven. The in- sertion of that good word Civic in the old name is a happy thought There has been so much that is civic about the whole performance that the word belongs in the name. It is there now, and makes the name longer, smoother and more impressive. It doesn't look as if anything more could be advan- tageously added to or inserted in the name, but if it can be it ought to be. There's much in a name.
 Success to the meeting on Sunday afternoon in Woolsey Hall under the auspices" of The Associated Civic so- cieties of New Haven. The announce ment is made that it is to close prompt ly at 4 o'clock, but we hope that this wont be insisted on.

BIG PROFIT IN TREES.

Get right away from the idea that because trees do not grow and ripen as fast as other crops forestry in the woodlot will benefit future generations only. Most forest trees will reach commercial size well within an ordinary lifetime, and many of them in a much shorter period.
 Did it ever occur to you that this country offers to-day few investments which equal in safety and in net re- turn the thrifty-growing tree of a commercially valuable kind? Don't fall into the way of thinking that the only interest which tree yields is its an- nual growth. That in itself shows fair return. But your trees are not only increasing in size they are also increasing rapidly in value.
 A few days work in the woodlot each year will yield more money for the same effort than any other work on the farm. This is a strong statement, but the facts bear it out-Farming.

Some weary creatures long to rest
 In quiet ingle nook, Some crave a shady messy seat,
 A spreading tree a book. But give to me, who long to ease
 My Wearied hands and brain, A railroad ticket. and a seat
 In swiftly-moving train. For though 'tis toll from which I came And toll to which I go, Until I reach my journeys end
 I've not one thing to do, I settle back within my seati
 It rests my very soul To feel my listless body drawn
 Thus passive to its goal. A thousand houses I pass by;
 Sweet is the thought to me That I need never sweep nor dust
 A single one I seeI The children on the doorstep sit,
 Delightful 'tis that I May still enjoy my drowsy thoughts
 No matter how they cry, And as the hungry travellers snatch
 A morsel for their need, 'Tis bliss enough to know that I
 Have but one mouth to feed! And so 1 seek no ngle nook,
 Nor book meath spreading tree, A seat in swiftly moving train
 Is the sweetest rest for mel! Harriet Ball Thorpe in the Congre-
