nr Edwart Everett Hale makes the following suggestion in the Christian Register: ':What We need in the Uni ted States is the institution of series ef small hospitals ready to serve the neighhorhood and to serve for the best. The old prejudice against hospitals Is dying out, just AS the Sarah Camps have died out.
 l am old enough to remember the hospital service of the civil war-ser- vice which attracted to the work of the military hospitals hundreds of the mo- hlest women of America. had the good fortune Ia know personally sever al of those ladies. Alter their eNpe- rleaec, every one ef those accomplished women was eager that in the case of her own illness she might be transfer red io hospital. For every one of them knew thai she could he better cared for there than she could he cared for even by the most tender efforts oi an ordinary household.
 The pnbiic mnst soon address itself to the establishment of home hospitals in every neighhorhood, and the public has uo better object lesson than in The new hospital in Beverly"

Thread Used In Surgery.

Are you aware that the modern sur geon employs in his work dozens of different kinds of thread for sewing up cuts and wounds? Among them are kangaroo tendons. horsehair. silk and very fine silver wire. Many of these threads are intended to hold for a certain number of days and then naturally break away. The short tough tendons taken from the kanga- roo. which are used for sewing severe wounds. will hold for about four weeks before they break away Silk thread will remain much longer, some times six months. while the fine silver wire is practically indestructihle
 With the entire outfit surgeon Is able 10 select thread that will last as long as the wonnd takes to heal and will then disappear completely To accommodate this assortment of threads special varieties of needles are required. Besides the needle craned in different segments of circle. sur ceons use needles shaped like spears. iaveiins and hayouet points. St. James Gazette.

Trophies Of the Chase.

In the days wbea buffalo still roam sd the plains of Kansas in countless numbers great many hunting parties came over from Europe to have a hand in their slaughter. One party was con- posed of Frenchman named Auguste Rouzand. the first husband of Christine Nilsson, the priIna donna. and an Eng lshman. Mir. Blaekmere. from Lon don. They arrived at Dodge City one day in the fall with a carload of equip ment. including every sort of delicacy that the market afforded and several large trunks full of bright new butcher knives A detachment of the Sixth cavalry from Fort Dodge was detailed to accompany them. and probably no command ever fared better than that one did. The Englishman shot few buffalo, and the soldiers slaughtered them by the hundreds. But the French man didn't kill one. Instead. as fast as the animals were shot be would take one of his brand new butcher knives. plunge it into the slain animal until it was smeared with blood. wrap it carefully in tissue paper and put it back in the trunk as trophy of the chase 10 exhibit when he got back to Paris as proof of his mighty prowess as hunter.
