The average daily cost to the Hos
pital association for keeping patient
has been one dollar sixty-three and
one-half cents for the past thirteen
years. The average time of treat
ment for all cases has been fraction
less than seventeen days and for
charity cases alone eighteen days.
During this time the Hospital asso-
citation has expended out of the do
nations and hospital earnings for its
own charity work alone, more than
$4,000. To this, however, should be
added S5,006.75, which is about the
difference between the amount that
the city and county have been pay
ing and the actual cost of keeping
these patients. making grand total
of over $4,000 or an average of more
than $1,000 per year If to this is
added the charity work done through
the association by the county and
city it will be found that the total
charity work done by and through
the Hospital association since the
opening of the hospital has been S25,
900 or an average of over $1,000 per
year.

The charity work done by and

years ago has been remarkable in

less than fifteen patients. The first
person to be admitted to the hospital
as patient was laboring man by
the name of David Jackson, who had
been ailing for some time from dis
ease of the bone in one of his legs.
The records show that he remained
in the hospital for forty-two days and
was discharged then by his physician
as cured.

able to stand alone. There undentessv II numbers of able men, men of
affairs, who in their own homes are fgureheads, who pay the bills. But
the women who rule in their stead rarely fail in their own persons, still
less do they permit any other to fail, in the full payment Of all honor
and respect to the nominal head of the house. This parsonage in no sense
whatever is a nonentity,
1t often happens that men who are noted for their energy and sue
cess in business, who are marvels of frmness, not to say obstinacy, in
their dealings with other men, are those who are most indulgent, even
submissive, to their womenfolk. At home they like to be relieved from
all worry and bother, to be made comfortable without the ANNOYANCE
OF seeing the wheels go round. The woman who knows what such a man
wants and sees that he has it; who anticipates his wishes; who manages
her household without fuss or friction; who never contradicts or nags;
who, in short, makes herself essential to his comfort, generally is allowed
to have her own way without let OF hindrance SO long as she takes care
(and she usually does) that that way does not cross o conflict with
his.
1t is an amusing paradox that big men physically, Samson and
Hercules, frequently are dominated, openly and candidly, by their wives,
who in such cases. are little women whom the good humored giants easily
could master with one hand. Such a man, with such a wife, reminds the
spectator OF nothing so much as a big ship in convoy of a little steam tug,
putting and whitling, while the great ship follows in heavy silence. He
usually admires his wife for her "smartness" and energy, admits her
rule, and makes a joke of it; too thoroughly conscious of his own strength
to resent her "bossng."

Got Discount All RIGHT.

Lord Sholto Douglas was talking, at
a dinner in Detroit, about American
business methods.
Since l have been a bagman-I
mean a drummer-for a jewelry firm
said the young man, Il have learned to
admire American business methods
tremendously. To succeed here,
though, M needs to be very sharp
and clever. Indeed, the sharpness and
cleverness of American buyers is a
constant amazement to me.
THE other day l was in a village
general Store, endeavoring to make a
sale of jewelry, when a farmer en-
tered.
"'Give me- said the farmer, "a half
pound of tobacco, three bars of soap,
five yards of blue baby ribbon and a
pair of good s%uspenders.'
"The articles were brought forth,
inspected, approved and wrapped up.
They came to 95 cents.
Yes said the farmer, '95's right.
But there's the discount. You adver.
tise a S per cent. discount, don't your

OF INSECTS.
How a Tiny Sentinel Warned OF an
Unwelcome Intruder.

Insects express emotion by bodily
gestures. says a writer In Harper's.
An mimetic language, though far more
limited, is not less ineligible than
vocal speech. Indeed, a glance of the
| eye, a movement of the hand, a shrug
of the shoulder, a stamp Of the foot,
a toss Of the head may betray in man
the true thought or feeling, even when
spoken language Is used to conceal It.
We may find, perhaps, that this me.
dunn serves insects nc less efficiently
for communication, within hat limited
range-of ideas, shall we say?-to
which their faculties are confined.
Let us stand before the oak tree
and watch a double stream of mound
making ants (Formica exsectoides)
t%hronging up and passing down the
well-marked trail that leads to u herd
of aphides upon some branches that
o%verhang a stone fence. The motion
of a finger neal the trunk attracts the
attention of a sentinel-one of a num-
Der that seems to be guarding the
TANKS of the column. 1t halts, thrusts
out its %antennae, and shows signs of
excitement. AS an experiment, the
finger is approached within an inch
or more of the ant. Its %antennae wave
rapidly. Its head and body jerk with
eager intenseness. 1t stretches forth
its head and reaches out is fore legs,
with jaws eagerly agape and antennae
%quivering. The whole attitude and
every bodily detail clearly express to
the observer the ideals of vigilance;
of suspicion; of a challenge; of a pur-
pose to repel. AS plainly as If it had
spoken, the sentinel has said: IL sus-
pect you. l test you. l bid you be-
gone!" We on-lookers understand
this. 1t is su%pposable that ants them
selves do not understand?

Must Quit Using Opium.

According to the Chinese opium reg
ulations of last November all teach
ers, scholars, soldiers and sailors of
all ranks We're to be allowed three
months wherein entirely to relinquish
the opium habit. Information has
reached the authorities in Picking that
some soldiers are paying no attention
to these regulations, so instructions
have been issued to the effect that
any officer or man found smoking will
be at once beheaded.
