In Paris the short sleeve is already

will not drop 1t abruptly for the long
sleeve. She will be inclined to tenn

The origin OF our present hospitals
Is traced to the monashc arrange

housed the sick and convalescent.
Almost the earliest record of the
building of a hospital in England is In
the life of Lanfranc, archbishop OF Can

for leprosy and one for ordinary dis
cases. In the eighteenth century Lon

The woodcock is a migratory bird.
1t winters in the southern states and
comes to the north in summer to rear
its young. Some of the birds, how
ever, it must be said. are practically
resident throughout the year in some To-
calities of the south.
Disdaining the wanderers life, they
build their homes in eighborhoods to
which they cling throughout their
short lives. In winter the woodcock is
in the southern states. 1t is sold for
food in every winter resort in the
southland, and 1t is shipped northward
to supply the winter markets of the
great cities.
Harassed all winter through with
dog and gun, the woodcocK takes up its
northern flight early in the spring, pos

rest from persecution. 1t is an idle

The wood duck is our summer duck
1t nests in hollow trees along the
streams in nearly every state east of
the Mississippi river. It is the most
beautiful of the duck tribe. 1t lacks
the shyness of the rest OF the family
and frequently builds It's nest near our
houses. Man repays its friendliness
with charges of shot. The fact that
the wood duck breeds as 1t does within
the United States, instead of going
to the far north. as do many members
of its family, makes the season for its
shooting so much the longer. For many
ducks man has to wait until the migra.
tion is at its height In November. He
finds the wood duck along the streams
while he is hunting grouse in Sep
tember.
Duck shooting is allowed in the
spring in nearly every state In the
union. The birds at that season are
hurrying to the nesting grounds. They
are in poor condition for the table
and the only excuse for their shooting
is the seemingly Unsuitable lust of man
for slaughte-. The language is none
too strong. There is crying need
for more wisdom in game legislation.

Romans Established the Earliest In
stitutions Of the Kind.

Among the expenditures by states
and cities. those for the maintenance
of hospitals always meet with the
hearty approval of the public.
The work accomplished in hospitals
by boards of trustees and expert prac-
titioners of medicine and surgery
cannot be too highly praised. In
populous cities thousands of individu-
ais are cared for annually. and very
large percentage of the cases are
handled successfully. Without these
e.dmirable establishments thousands
of the sick and unfortunate might
very easily cease to exsist.
Since the earliest times there has
been some sort of places which were
sdesigned for hospital work. although
at first they were little more than
shelters or cheaply built almshouses-
In the Roman camps there was a med
ical staff to look after the wounded.

dren of a generation not far down
the road of posterity will know the
woodcock and the wood duck and per-

see in their natural history text books.
The ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbel-
lus) called also pheasant and part

northern states seem to have read
somewhere the statements of scien-
lists tha: The woodcock nests in March.
This apparently was enough for the
lawmakers, and they at once took the
woodcock out of the class in which
they placed other game birds and said
that IL it nested in March the young
of the year must be big enough for
broiling by July 4. Therefore in many
states 1t is made legal to shoot wood
cock in the early summer. The wood
cock rarely nests in March north OF the
Mason and Dixon line. If the wealth
er conditions be unfavorable the birds
will nest late. The young are not al
ways able to take care of themselves
by July 4. Assassination is not too
