Task Of Organization.

Plans are already being made for the
great international congress of the Ma
tlonal Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, which is to be
held In this city during the last ten days
of September and the first ten days of
October, 1905. There win be several thou
sand members and delegates, including ply
sicians, hygienists, sociolOgists and hu-
manitarians from nearly all countries In
the world and the gathering will be or
ganized under the name: International
Congress on tuberculosis
(. The directors and council of the national
association include the most noted authori-
ties on tuberculosis in this country, and
they are besides wise men in public affairs.
Their plans contemplate something far
broader than a convention of scientific
men. They expect to have a tuberculosis
exhibition. which. up to its date, will sur
pass in variety and interest anything of
the sort ever attempted The collection
of illustrative objects has been going on
in this country for several years, and
the exhibition method of educating the
public on this subject is employed in many
foreign countries. During the three weeks
while this exhibition is in progress Wis
itors can learn what is going on, the world
around, in the fight against tuberculosis.
The exhibition will be open and free TO the
public at all times, and its contents will
be as interesting to the man in the street,
or to the high school pupil, as to the
sayant Tuberculosis exhibitions have been
held in many American cities and have at
tracted visitors by thousands. The value
of the exhibition as means of arresting
popular attention has therefore been proved

The Board of Green Cloth.

The board of green cloth, which pre-.
sides over the granting of leases on
the crown lands, derives it's name from
the fact that the members originally
sat behind long table which was GOV.
cred with green baize. Formerly they
used green sealing wax for their seals.
Now their seals are embossed on the
documents In green and bear the In
scription Board of Green Cloth" The
board Is very strict and exact, states
Its own terms and will not permit the
smallest alteration. IF you don't like
1t, you can leave It," is its motto. For
certain villas near Windsor castle it
will grant leases only from year to
year, SO as TO retain complete control
over the tenants.-London Modern So

this great and wonderful sphere which,
fashioned by the hand of God and up
held by his power, is rolling through
the heavens a part is his from the GEN.
