aspect of the room is important, for very
few diseases require darkness as part of
their treatment, and most diseases are
more easily treated in room in which the
sunshine enters. Choose. therefore, a sun
ny room, for sunlight improves the spirits,
and If the sun is too strong the glare can
always, be kept out, while nothing can
make the sun enter room which faces
the north. Really a south or southwest
aspect is the best for sick room; the
former has the sun at noon and the latter
has the evening or afternoon sun. says

desirable, because 1T gets the early morn

PARIS. March 16 1907.
An otherwise delightful walk in the Bots
this morning was utterly ruined by meet
ing an acqu5 .ntance who revels in the pos
session of chronic grievance. anE in this
instance she generously shared her latest
annoyance with me as we strolled along to-
gether. Now there is something rather
fattering about being made the confessor.
as it WERE of person in real or imaginary
distress of mind, but to be the safety valve
for a series of petty eruptions of temper
is decidedly boring 1 thing we all know her
type, the woman with a grievance. She is
often pretty, but the corners of her mouth
invariably turn downward and there is
pity me- air about her which at first
excites our sympathy. AS a rule this same
woman has a wide circle of acquaintance,
but very few real friends. After awhile the
cause is discovered. for a grievance is
possession only worth having when it may
be shared with the world at large and
ceves appreciative attention therefrom.
Then and only then does it become gen uine
ly interesting

Men at the Tea Table.

From the London Lady's Pictorial.
1t is amusing to find that tea drinking is
at last being defended. Before men took
to tea drinking we used to be told that We
were running our nerves and our digestions
with this "wishy-washy stun" and one can
remember households where early-mornlng
tea and even the o'clock fortifier had
nositiyely to be taken in secret. At the
sacred hour now one finds every tea shop
crowded with men.

Under the efforts of free thought, the
emancipation of women is no longer based
on the aspirations. the character or the
ordinary functions of woman On the con-

There is no longer any question OF liberia

an organizing of the defensive action Of one

Painless Cancer.

From the Hospital
There is a prevailing opinion that cancer
is always painful from the beginning
whereas it is really painless in the majority
of cases. 1t Is desirable to ascertain how
far the public ought to be instructed in the
early signs of cancer, with view to the
adoption of earlier diagnosis, and conse
quently earlier operation.

couplers, the railroads refused to adopt
that life-saving appliance. Year in and year
out, trainmen had to risk their lives coupling
cars by hand. At last, in 1891, some Of us
young fellows took UP the matter in the SD
Congress and went to work to pass bill
compelling the corporations to adopt the au-
tomato car-coupler.
The railroads fought the measure tooth and
toe-nail Maj Stahlman, President of the
Louisville 4 Nashville r. R., came on to
Washington and acted as COMMANDMENTS chief
of the lobby.
After long, hard fight, we whipped the
Major and passed the bill. BY the terms of the
act, the railroads were given five years within
which to equip their trains with automatic
couplers.
Would you believe it?-the corporations
went before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and actually got that most comical
concern to suspend the law, by allowing the
roads certain additional number of years
within which they could go on manglng and
manning human car-couplers!
1t may be that some Of the lines are not
.
only year before last that Sam Spencer's road
was prosecuted because of it's failure to com
ply with the law.
Now, if Congress could force the railroads
to adopt the automatic car-coup1er, why should
it not compel them to adopt the automatic
block system?
If that system in operation in this
country, as it is in Switzerland, in the subway
of New York, and upon certain New England
roads, the greater part of this horrible butch
cry of the people would be stopped.
It would cost $500 per mile to put this au-
tomato block system into operation, and
hence the corporations refuse to adopt it,
They would rather have dividends at the
expense of ninety thousand human victims ev-
cry year, than to have no dividends and no
victims.
If the managers of the corporations were
not compelled to earn dividends upon ST.
ooooooooo of watered stock they could easily
expend the $500 per mile to make the roads
safe
If the burden of management consisted
merely of earning reasonable dividends upon
actual investment, the automatic block sys-
tenn could be put on at once.
But the managers are helpless; their Wall
reEdemand more than $3oo,oooooo in divi-
dends every year upon fictitious and fraudu-
lent valuations, even though the money be

sensational charges against Herbert

were made before the House Com.
mittee on Ways and Means today by
Prof. ii. w. Elliott, of Cleveland.
OHIO, during hearing on a resolu.
lion for the further protection of
Ifhr seals on the high seas. Prof.
Elliott said that while MIR. PeIrce
was representing the United States
government before The Hague IN
tho settlement of claims growing out
tof the seizure of the sealing vessel
lJ Hamilton Lewis, by the Russian
government on the charge OF piracy,
he also represented the owners of
the vessel and instituted action in
tho United States District Court for
the District of Columbia to insure
the payment of his fee In the money
awarded to the vessel owners.
Representative Champ Clark and
John Sharp Williams questioned Mr..
Elliott carefully about the charge
and said that 1t reflected so serI.
ously upon the administration that
1t must be looked into carefully.
lThe chief purpose of Prof. Elliott In
appearing before the committee he
explained, was to have the United
states annul the lease of the seal.
Ing privileges on the Prlbilof Is
lands, which 1t has granted to the
North American Commercial Com.
lpany. He stated to the committee
that the officers the company per.
j'lred themselves when they obtain.

were not engaged In pelagic sealing.
In spit of this oath, he says. they
equipped the ]. Hamilton Lewis In
command of Captain Alexander Nc.

ana Mr.. Elliott made the statement
that Mr.. Peirce's activity in collect
Ing a fec from the vessels owners

Chairman Payne OF the commit
tee, declared that the committee was
mt Interested with what Mr.. Peirce
lad done.
Messrs. Clark and Williams pro.
tested that the committee was con-
|cerned with the charges against Mr..
Peirce and that they inended to
have the matter investigated.
Mr.. Payne said he could not see
1t that way, but 1t was a matter on
which the full committee could de-
eide. The question OF an investiga-
ton of the charges made by Mr..
Elliott will be taken up later, and
there will be further hearings on the
entire situation.
