ANIMALS HOSPITAL.
Birds, as Well as Horses, Donkeys,
Cats and Dogs, as Patients.

=
Cats and Dogs, as Patients.
From the London Express.
A company Of ailing horses. cats. dogs,
birds and a donkey passed Whitsuntide in
the quiet wards of the Animals Hospital,
opened by Our Dumb Friends League few
weeks ago.
It has been found necessary to open
bird ward. owing to the large number Of
feathered patients brought to the institu-
tion When an Express representative
was shown round this ward yesterday he
found that yellow canary had only that
morning been allowed a perch once more
He had been severely clawed by cat
and one Of his legs was SO badly mangled
that for many days he had been obliged to
sit on flannel. Now. perched again. though
on one leg only, he could find heart to sing
and his case was described as very hope
full"
In the equine ward is an old gray horse
belonging to a greengrocer. The animals
knees have been badly bruised by a fall
and he will be a patient for some days.
Thereis also brown cab horse belonging
to a man who has only one cab and one
horse and who is, therefore, now unable to
pursue his daily work.
Many such cases are treated at the hos
pital, and the question is being considered
whether a horse and a donkey shall be
purchased and lent to unfortunate trades
men whose one animal falls Ill. If sufficient
subscriptions for this purpose can be raised
the venture will certainly be made.
The little donkey, suffering from a badly
torn knee. affords another example OF an
owners hardship. poor costermonger
had saved up 92 lbs. to buy the ANIMAL
and when it met with Its accident he found
his living gone for several weeks
Over the pens of the dogs in the canine
ward are such notices as the following:
Fox terrier. Daisy. Tumor on thigh.
Diet bef tea. bread. biscuits. milk. liver"
Brown spaniel, Rover, belonging to
bricklayer. liberated foot"
Irish terrier Pat. Tumor In right
shoulder. Diet, Sleeps head, biscuit,
BROTH"
The dog patients receive more visitors
than any others. They are all owned by
poor people, and some OF these call half a
dozen times a day to inquire after their
pets.
Last week very pathetic incident oc-
Cured in connection with large mongrel
dog which had been run over and had its
hind leg crushed by an omnibus. A weep
ing woman carried the mangled body OF
the dog to the hospital. She was told that
nothing could be done to save her pet. and
that the kindest thing would be to destroy
It in the lethal chamber.
take the dog home for a few minutes. so
that her little daughter, who was i'll. might
see 1t once more, as the two were very
great friends. So, crying. bitterly. she took
away her dog for the child to give It's head
one last pat. and then Ii was conveyed to

Why no one has given a bird's-eye view
of the Christian activities on this granite
rock, Hongkong, I wot not. The name
Hongkong literally means fragrant sea-
port" and a walk through the Chinese
quarter. with it's divers smells and eccen-
trio odors indicates that the nostrils were
influential in the naming of the place.
Here Is the Malta and Gibraltar of the far
east.
Where Is Hongkong and what Is It?
have frequently been asked thi question,
and It's too funny for anything, hut most
people In the United States. and educated
people, too, think that Hongkong Is city
or town. The fact is Hongkong is an is
land Of the same size as that bit Of land
st. John was domiciled on when he wrote
the book of Revelations. Patmos and Hong
kong are each eleven miles long. Fragrant
Seaport Is situated off the southeast coast
Of the empire of China and lies only nine
ty miles from the city of Canton, the capi-
tai Of southern China. Situated on the north
bank Of the Pearl river, Canton Is the most
noted city in the celestial empire for posi-
ton, population and possessions. This
wealthy. wicked metropolis Of Canton.
where I saw tame cats in fragile wooden
cages being fattened for dainty palates, Is
fully under the dominion Of Hongkong,
which lies at the entrance to the river.
In voyage around the world Hongkong
is the most easterly station Of the vast
British empire. 1t is >strategically strong
and has been made stronger by the engi-
neer's art. In 1912, when by Chinese i'm
perial rescript 1t was coded for time and
eternity to the British crown. 1t had few
scattered huts. occupied by pirates and
other celestial outlaws. Now the pigmy is

in the ample waters of the beautiful, land

for in a recent year the rainfall measured

was only in geography. While we know the
history of Patmos from $40 B. c., there is
little known about the Fragrant Seaport

MOSQUIToLESS CITIES.
They Are Few and Far Between on This
Side Of the Ocean.
From Health Culture.

From Health-Culture.
Over in Europe there are many happy
towns where the note Of the mosquito is
never heard and the inhabitants don't care
snap about the pennyroyal market But
In America the cities which can claim to be
mosquitoless would not run up to a dozen.
Denver is one of them. and. strange to say.
Grand Rapids. Mich. only a short way
from the gnat Gehennas Of Lake Superior,
is another.
The explanation Is that the city Is built
on hillocks Of drift sand so deep and SO
finely pulverized that they absorb moisture
like tissue paper. Stagnant water does not
get ghost of chance to accumulate, and
mosquitoes have carried their cargo of mi.
crobes to more congenial markets

woman's Fondness for Finery.


Anthropologists will tell US that women
dress to catch beaux and Darwin gives long
pages to prove that the pretty colors,
stripes. spots and forms OF animals original
ed in the superior luck of individuals en-
dowed by chance with attractive variations.
Selection Of mates went by beauty, and
pretty feathers made the pretty bird But
as respects humankind that play of evolu-
ton Is obsolete. Among wild animals and
primitive races 1t may still hold good, but
everybody that knows anything knows that
nowadays in cultured communities women
dress for other women, not for men. Men
are incapable of comprehending and appre-
chatting the niceties and refinements of fem

Is evidently and confessedly beyond the

traversed, the Santa Fe trail began at
Westport (now Kansas City and followed
the Kaw river to Lawrence. The Arkansas
valley was reached at Fort Zarah, whence
the well-worn pathway wound its way to
Beuts Fort, in the foothills. Ration Pass

~KY WASHINGTON school children are
interested in the announcement
XAI that collection of almost half
wv million pennies has been
made from the school children
of the state of Kansas, the fund to be used
for the marking Of the famous santa Fe
trail The idea was originated only re-
Gently but already 1863. 166 children have re-
sponded with contributions of from one 10
cents, and the pennies are stlil pouring
in. 1t Is the intention of those in charge Oh
the project to expend the fund In the pur-
chase of posts which will be erected at in
teryals along the route once traversed by
80 many thousands of pioneers. before the
days of the railroad. The posts will be
set as close together as the amount col
lected will allow, and 1t Is expected that
the work will be completed before the END
of the summer.
The santa Fe trail. reaching from Kansas
City to Santa Fe. Is about soO miles IN
length almost every mile Of which was
once the scene OF some fierce struggle en-
gagged In by the early western settlers with
the hostile bands OF Indians VINO nan q
century ago roamed the plains. wreaking
vengeance on the white man who kept drtv-
ing them farther and farther west. 1t Is
landmark in American history, and the
medium of penny contributions was hailed
with delight by the school children.

The trail leading to Santa Fe. then an un-
marked course through a wild and but little
explored country. was first traversed In the
early years of the nineteenth century by a
band of trappers and traders. Santa Fe
was at that time peopled by Spaniards and
Mexicans who. since the founding of the
city in 1886 had been permitted to live I'M
molested by western invasion. Following
the entrance of the first caravan for fifty
years a steady stream of settlers poured
over the famous trail. In spite Of the on

Many stories of murder and bloodshed. with
which every school boy Is familiar, have
been written concerning those days. The
history Of the trail from the very begin

venture.
Almost unbelievable were the hardships
endured by those who traversed the trail
with the idea Of settling or trading. The
unprogressive residents of Santa Fe toler-

Concerning the settler and trader, how
ever. the authorities held no such tolera Mt
ideas. Scores OF traders, notable among
whom were Mcknight. Chambers and Baird,
made the trip from st. Louis In 1872 and
all were arrested as spies, their goods con-
fiscated, and themselves thrown into fail
where they were kept nine years. But such
treatment seemed to increase rather than
dampen the enthusiasm of the pathfinders.
The stream Of settlers continued to migrate
over the trail to the westward. and by 1921
the Santa Fe authorities had so far re-
signed themselves to the invasions which
they found themselves unable to check

From this time on the Santa Fe trail be-
came the focus of the western invasion.
The entire route was lined with prairie

In the next two years 1t was surveyed and
marked out. the survey being described In
the records as "from the western frontier

months later. in order to give military pro-
