HYGIENIC AND SENTIMENTAL

Medicine Teaches How Some Prac'
tices Are Not Charity.
1t must be admitted than in many
instances hygiene is directly opposed to
sentiment The passing of the chalice
or the loving cup from mouth to mouth
is instinctively regarded as a process
opposed to cleanly ideas and medicine
teaches how Objectionable such pro
ceeding is and how it may easily hand
on disease.
| But sentiment wins at every city
| dinner. Hygiene declines to agree with
! the sentiment that we must not dust an
old bottle of port or claret covered
| with cobwebs and mold and removed
from a cellar which must contain de-
poslt alive with, 1t may be, appalling
archaeological potentialities.
Hygiene, again, would condemn the
highly seasoned and oil-stained meer-
schaum or briar pipe, but sentiment
says there is no pipe like it for cool,
well-favored and pleasing smoke, be-
sides which such pipe has number
less associations and the very sight Of
1t recalls pleasant personal expert
ences. Hygiene dictates the removal of
all so-called dirt films and the bringing
to light of an exquisitely cleaned and
smooth surface whereon no bacteria
can find lOdgment: sentiment prefers
the tone and dignity Of deposit and
loathes brand-new stone. brick or tile.
Hygiene would dispense with cur
tains and carpets and bid us live in
rooms with walls and floors polished
like well-appointed dairy. To these
things the sentiments of some people,
at all events, naturally object. Hy-
giene has long attempted to Danish the
open fire, but sentiment has strongly
and so far successfully resisted this at
tempt. Neither must there be smoke
in the landscape If hygiene has its full
sway, whatever art or sentiment may
say.
We can not be found as advocates,
however faint, of the smokiness of Lon
don, but the painters and etchers of
less murky cities are never tired of
pointing out the aesthetic possibilities
of our capital with its blurred outlines
and suggestive shadows Hygiene would
take away the jelly from the dietary
because it Is an excellent culture me-
dunn for micro-organisms; sentiment
bids 1t stay. Instances could easily be
multiplied
With hygiene there is no middle
course. Its cry is sterilize, sterilize,
scour, scour; but to sentiment sterili-
zation and securing mean often "a lost
joy. How, then, can the strife between
sentiment and hygiene be ended. Until
knowledge Is absolute 1t is impossible
to say, for much that may be demanded
in the name of hygiene now may be re-
scinded tomorrow because our sight is
defective. Globe.

he must make up his mind soon. Come
to me for the letter before you CO."
When Fred Blake was in the traiI
on his way to Marley Hall he was in
a very thoughtful frame Of mind. He
had in his pocket a letter containing
the address of the lady who would be
mistress, Of Marley Hall If Jack Winter
refused to marry her. Jack was going
to marry Mary Carson in two days,
and Miss Coyerdale was ignorant OF
the fortune coming to her. Jack would
be out Of the way on his honeymoon
it was possible for bold man to WOO
and wed Miss Coyerdale before she was
made aware that she was Godfrey
Winters helress.
'Tt is the chance Of lifetime, and
I'll take 1t. Jack Winter has had the
best of things up to now, living in the
lap of luxury, while l have been slav-
ing away for plttance. / am now
going to have my revenge, and 1t will
be a glorious day for me when l can
shut the gates of Marley Hall in his
face"
When he reached the hall he found
Jack Winter had already arrived and
was waiting him.
"Well, Fred, got here at last? Your
old rooms are ready for you, and so is
dinner. No news from Foster and
Arnold, suppose"
"Mr Foster asked me to tell you that
he had no news yet, but he hoped to
be able to report success in a day or
two."
"Oh, there Is no hurry SO far as
am concerned. He can keep his report
until l come back from my honey
moon."
"Then you are quite determined?"

give Mary Carson up for anything in
the world. No; / am going to meet her
tomorrow, and then, as soon as l can

be married"

When Fred Blake retired to his room
that night he took Mr.. Fosters letter
from his pocket and broke the seal.

that we have at last discovered the

A auick-peliyerx Letter.

1t is curious fact that "a century
and a half ago a letter travelled much
faster than ever it has done since. 1t
was in 1853 that Lord March made a
heavy wager that he would cause a
letter to be conveyed 100 miles with
in an hour. His Lordship engaged a
score of cricketers, all expert throwers
and catchers, had the missive inclosed
in a ball, and arranging his men at in
tervals in a circle, got them to throw
the ball as swiftly as possible from
one to another. At the end of the
hour 1t was found that the letter had
travelled almost exactly 120 miles,

'Do understand" said Mrs Blake
of Fred, that you married me in the
belief that l was Geoffrey Winters
heiress?"
Il thought you were, certainly"
"And yet, when | asked you what
your motive for marrying me was you
answered that it was nothing but love
and affection"
You seem to have made mess of
things, Fred" said Jack.
II must admit that in marrying Miss
Coverdale thought she was the heir
ess, but the fact that she Is not does
not lessen the regard In which / now
hold her."
THAT Is right, Fred, my boy; we
seem likely to settle things comfortably
all round. l have promised my wife
that her aunt should come and live
with US, and as you are now man and
wife we can all live at the Hall to-
gether-there is plenty of room; and,
in order to stife your scruples, you
can act as steward of the estate"
''That will be splendid" said Mrs.
Winter.
"You are very good to me, Jack"
said Fred, "and l accept your offer
gratefully. l have always led a
straight life up to now, but the pros
pect Of fortune proved too much for
me. Since l have been married l have
learned to love my wife, and it is pos
sible that in after years weSmay both
look back with certain amount of
pleasure to my first temptation" -

Has Placed Several Large Orders an
the United States.
In quiet way the imperial govern
ment of Japan has been placing some
big orders In the markets of the United
States which will help to keep our In
dustries busy. Payment for the sup
plies ordered will distribute in this
country some of the capital which Unit
ed States investors parted with when
they bought the japanese bonds.
From a reliable source 1t is ascer-
tanned that the orders now placed In
this country by japan for railroad sup
plies and in the course of execution ag-
gregate in value the large sum of ST.
100000. An order was recently placed
with the United States Steel. Corpora
ton for 81 900 tons of rails to be deliy-
cred in lots of 5000 tons month at
the standard price of $28 ton.
These rails, with the fastenings, will
cost the imperial government about $36
ton when they are delivered at
'Dalny. They are to be used In the
construction of railroads in Manchuria
by Japan.
Orders for 316 bridges have also re-
Gently been placed with the United
States Steel Corporation by the impe-
rial government of Japan, while from
the same source orders for 600 cars and
115 locomotives have also been placed
in American shops. All the equipment
is up to date in specifications.
During, the war Japan was SO anx-
ious to obtain locomotives and cars
that cast-off equipment was accepted.
But now the best that can be made Is
rone too good to satisfy the exacting
demand for the government work. A
