A second summer charity, which has been
in operation for many years, is the so-called
Milk Fund for the benefit of sick poor in
fants in Boston during the hot weather.
In the appeal for support, which the trus-
tees have recently sent out, 1t Is announced
that the charity Is practical, economically
dispensed, wholly unsectarian and prompt
in it's application. Recognizing the high
infant mortality induced by hot weather
and infected milk, the trustees plan to min
imize this evil by the dispensing of proper
milk to suitably selected infants. The whole
matter is under the control of competent
physicians, and. as In New York, will GER
tainly accomplish much good in protecting
the infant population from disease during
the hot months of summer.
We have so frequently commented on the
work Of the Boston Floating Hospital that
it is hardly necessary to do more than men,
ton it again in this connection. The work
of this well-organized and popular medical
charity will no doubt be enhanced this year
by the use of a new and more ample boat
which We understand will not be entirely
completed, but which. nevertheless can be
satisfactorily used. 1t is not to be ques-
toned, however, that the extra supply Of
room will inadeQuately fulfill the increas-
ing demand Few efforts to alleviate the
sufferings Of the children Of a large city.
and incidentally their mothers are more
prolific of results than the Floating Hos
pital. The boat Is also fortunate this year
In having separate docking facilities which
should do much toward facilitating the
work.

LUCK OF THE TURF.
-
Most Capricious Manifestation Of the
Vagaries Of Fortune.

FROM the chicago Inter Ocean.
The luck of the turf has come to be &C.
cepted as the most capricious manifestation
OF the vagaries of fortune Here are two
recent instances that would seem to bear
out the theory. .-.a
Two years ago the late Capt s. S. Brown.
|, a millionaire coal merchant of Pittsburg.
was sitting in the lobby of the Gait House
at Louisville with Max Samuelson. his RAG
ing agent, and a party of friends They
were discussing the prospects of the Brown
stable, and the owner said to Samueson:
Max, have had 1t in mind to make you
nice Christmas present. but I'll give II to
you now From now on you are half owner
OF Accountant and Interlight. You shall
have half their winnings and half their
sale price, and be at no expense in the
matter
When Capt. Brown died Samuelson told
Capt. Harry Brown, brother and racing
heir of the dead millionaire, of the promise.
Capt. Harry Brown agreed to carry out his
brothers promise, and sent a check for
$4,000 to Samuelson as his share of the
earnings of Accountant as two-year-old.
1nterlight has proved a disappointment,
but Accountant has developed into great
racehorse. A few weeks ago Diamond Jim
Brady bought Accountant for $4,000. and
Samuelson. promptly received a check for
his half. AS good-luck story this has
rarely been excelled in the fantastic history
of the turf.
The contrasting story of bad luck is the
IT, ".
Mr.. Keene and many Of the most expert
enced turfmen of the country believed Sy-
sonby would develop into the greatest race
horse the world had ever seen, and his
death from blood poisoning is regarded as
q great loss to the American turf
Sysonby died June IL, at the beginning OF
his four-year-old career. In his two years
on the turf he had started but fifteen times,
yet he had won $1S4,0O0. He met defeat
but once. Last winter Mr.. Keene refused
an offer of 10000 guineas (more than $780,
OOO) from Reed-Walker, the English turf
man, and declared that Sysonby was not
for sale at any price.
Sysonby died surrounded by group OF
sincere mourners; the scene was very much
as If valued friend were passing away.
Certainly no more tender care could have
been lavished on a human being. After the
horse was dead Mr.. Keene said, looking
down upon the noble animal:
There lies all that remains OF what was
the gentlest, truest and best in a horse. In
his way he was every inch king. No
greater racehorse ever lived. No one will
ever know how great a horse the turf has
lost nor can 1t be calculated how great Is
the loss to the breeding Of American thor
oughbreds."
The bitterness of the mlschance in the
fact that a turfman has lost valuable
horse before his prime. He was great
horse in the hands of a man Of wealth and
experience and enthusiasm. His career
could have been arranged for him without
regard for the dollars he might be able to
earn. In Sysenby we had most promising
opportunity to learn how great a horse our
American breeders Of thoroughbreds can
produce.

OF all the tent work being carried on in
New York this summer there is none more
Werda in Tent Emmanuel, at 10th street
between 7th and Sth avenues.
While Tent Emmanuel has existed for
some time in this locality and under the
protection of Calvary Baptist Church has
accomplished much good work in the neigh
borhood, it ceased to exist about year
ago. when the space wherein it stood was
needed for a garage and only recently the
work has received a new impetus since Mr..
Werda took 1t in charge.
Mr.. Werda Is a Persian of learning and
attractive. forceful personality. He was
brought to this country by the American
Bible Society, through the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions, to translate the
Bible into Persian. In studying the sacred
book he became q convert to the Baptist
faith. and severed his connection with the
Presbyterian board. giving himself up to
evangelistic work. He was born in Urma,
in Persia, in the state Of Adherbajan, the
former home of the fire worshipers. His
father was Presbyterian minister and his
grandfather had been an Episcopal minis
ter. AS young man he edited a religious
paper in his native land, in which he trans
lated the sermons of Sturgeon, thereby be-
ing much Influenced. Mr.. Werda has the
command OF twelve languages, and is said
to be the best-educated Persian in this
country.
Aside from his work in Tent Emmanuel
he conducts q service for Persians each
Sunday in Calvary Church, the class to
which he ministers now numbering over
seventy members, among whom one is the
son of the general postmaster of province
in Persia, and has himself been decorated
by the shah for personal service. There is
only small colony of Persians in New
York city, but in Yonkers large contin-
gent lives, to which Mr.. Werda also min

Summer Medical Charity.
From the Boston Transcript.


It has been interesting to observe during
the past few years the development Of
summer medical charities Of various sorts.
The cult Of the open air has done much
toward bringing about this happy result.
We have gradually come to realize that
simple care is the essential Of treatment in
various kinds and degrees of illness, and
that patients do better under such condi-
lions In the open than under the more
elaborated arrangements for hospital life
in the cities. So far as the matter has
yet been worked out, this applies particu-
larly to the tuberculous and to young chill
dren. There is, however, no adequate rea-
son why many forms Of chronic invalidism
should not receive similar care during the
summer months in salubrious localities
= We have before us three worthy chart
table undertaking. Of this sort in behalf
OF the sick. The first OF these Is known as
the day camp for consumptives. 1t win be
remembered that last year, somewhat as
an experiment, the attempt was made to
treat certain consumptive patients by
means OF day camp, the patients return
ing to their own homes at night. The ex-
pertinent has proved 80 far successful that
q similar camp was established this year,
which began its season the latter part of
May. Tents. simple kitchen arrangements,
and storehouse have been erected on
Parker Hill at an elevation of go feet,
which is the highest point within the limits
Of the city. The patients are brought to
the top of the hill each morning and spend
the day in the open air with physicians and
nurses in attendance. Last year 128 pa
TENTS attended the camp for longer or
shorter periods a large proportion of whom
improved. 1t is an interesting fact that
ten patients who were admitted after they
were refused admission to the state sana-
torium at Rutland were so far improved
that they were later accepted at Rutland.
The cost Of both equipment and main
tenance for four months was less than
5000. This camp is said to be. the first
Of its sort in America, though several have
cities. The enterprise is certainly worthy
the consideration Of the charitably disposed.

Iceland Wants to Go It Alone.

Autonomy for Iceland is again becoming
a prominent topic between that island and
Denmark. That the Icelanders ardently
long for the independent management Of
their own affairs has long been known, and
the recent visit paid by the members of
their legislature to COPENHAGEN has pushed
the question once more prominently to the
front Iceland's claim Is for an organic
instrument between the two states, under
which the common sovereign would assume
the style of King Of Denmark and Iceland.

When cold feet interfere with sleep, 1t il
not merely through the feeling of cold as
such, but by an influence in the general and

indeed, is often concomitant Of sleepless-

When the feet are cold after hard brain
