Peter spoiled the Hedge.

There is something about holly
hedge that challenges the destructive
instinct in mankind. John Evelyn, the
diarist, had one of the finest in En-
gland In the grounds of his home at
Deptford, and Peter the Great ruined
it for him
That extraordinary car, when ne
came to the docks to learn shipbuild-
Ing, took tenancy Of Evelyn's house.
Whenever he felt in need OF relaxation
he sat down in wheelbarrow and
caused a servant to charge with It at
the holly hedge as hard as he could go.

terribly by "leeping and shelving of
trikkes'' with his suite. Altogether, he
did not do the house or garden any
good. But the owner could get NO ade-

Use of Chemicals in Food.

The Department Of Agriculture has
promulgated regulations governing the use
of benzoate Of soda and sulphur fumes as
preservatives of fruits and other foods.
In accordance with the provision of law
that food products shall not contain sub
stances which lessen their wholesomeness,
orders were issued that no drug, chemical
or harmful or de,aterious dye OF pre-
servative should be used. These rcgula-
tions were temporarily withheld, owing
to strong protests from certain quarters
The statement now issued permits the
use of common salt. sugar, wood smoke,
potable distilled liquors and condiments,
and, pending further investigation, the
use of saltpeter.

this habit, and everything else failing,

drunk he would write 1t in the log,

the following entry In the log:

tude, 70 deg. west latitude. Mate Jones
Is drunk to-day"
The mate begged him to take this
off, saying that 1t would spoil his
chances OF ever being made captain of
a ship. But the captain said: Its
true, isn't it?'

"Well," said the captain. -the rec

MedicoI ColIeces Condemned.

A special committee of the American
Medical Association, which was appointed
three years ago to investigate the instruc-
ton and standards of the various medi-
cal colleges in the United States, has
now submitted its report which condemns
about one-half of all the so-called med
zeal colleges. Among the members of the
committee are: Doctors 3evan of Chi
cago, Frazier Of Pennsylvania university,
Witherspoon of Nashville, Councilman
of Boston, Vaughn of Ann Arbor and
Colwell of Chicago. The committee finds
that there are too many of these schools
in which preliminary education is insuffi-
Gent, and in which the course of instruc-
ton is inadequate and the lack of train
ed teachers evident. 1t appears that
there are now in this country 100 medi-
cal schools, or as many as in all Europe.
The report holds that the great advance
in the sciences in recent years has made
necessary a much broader and more thor
ough course of medical education than
formerly prevailed. 1t insists that
four-year high school course is required;
a year of physics, chemistry and biology
two years of practical laboratory work
two years of clinical work in hospitals,
and a year as inferno in hospital. To
provise adequate equipment, medical
schools must be endowed 1t is found
that many of our medical schools are still
conducted solely for profit, which is con-
trary to the spirit of true attainment.

Although there were many stirring
deeds of heroism, it must be recorded
that here and there in the gathering there

men on the steamer who thought only of
their own safety, and not only refused to
assist the helpless women and children,
but actually thrust them ruthlessly aside
in a mad endeavor to reach the side of
the steamer.

DR.. ]. P. Crozier-Griffith does not
have very high opinion of the social
ed intuition of mothers Some people
are inclined to believe that intuition
will teach a mother how to take care
of her child, notwithstanding the over
whelming amount of fact to the con-
trary. The baby animal Is cared for
by its animal mother, but the doctor
thinks the human mother, without edu-
cation in the matter, is not as able as
the animal to care for her young. He
is not very fond of the grandmother,
either, who spoils children. Mothers
are foolish enough to give babies ba-
nanas, and then wonder why they have
dysentery. This is the one food that
should not be given to children
