Almost the earliest record of the

in the life of Lanfranc, archbishop
of Canterbury, who in 1850 founded
two, one for leprosy and one for or

century London, between 1919 and
1747, established five public and five
special hospitals. In Ireland, between

An Ancient Joke Of Which There Arc
Many Modern Versions.
The following tale was translated
from a very old Chinese book for Col
lier's Weekly.
A certain magistrate upon opening
his court observed one of bis lictors
whose face was covered with wounds
and asked him what was the matter
Replied the lictor. Yesterday evening
was reclining and enjoying the fresh
air under my grape arhor which was
suddenly upset by a gust Of wind and
fell on me and caused these injuries"
But the judge was skeptical and
said: "That is too thin. 1t is easy to
see that the marks on your face are
from scratches from nails. 1t must he
that you have had row with your
wife and got a clawing from her Is
this not so?''
The lictor erimsoned all over and re
piled, Your honor has truly guessed
it,
Then said the Judge; why is your
wife so fierce as this? Wait till I sum
mon her and give her a beating and
you your revenge"
While he was yet speaking the Judge s
own wife suddenly came out from the
house and fiercely said, who is this
you are going to beatP
The magistrate hastily announced to
the lictors and ting chat it's: This
court stands adjourned. Dispense in
stantly. 1t seems as though the courts

hittina the Pine.

When Jones got home the other night
he found the family in panic and the
house being flooded from a burst water
pipe. The first thing he did was to
scold his wife for not having sense
enough to go down to the cellar and
hammer up the supply pipe to prevent
the water from escaping. Then he
went downstairs and was soon heard
hammering vigorously. After some
minutes strenuous work, giving one
last mighty blow, he asked, "How is 1t
now?"
There is no difference in the flow Of
the water" his wife calmly replied.

Romans Established the Earliest In
stitutions of the Kind.
Among the expenditures by states
and cities, those for the maintenance
of hospitals always meets with the
hearty approval of the public.
The work accomplished in hospi-
tails by boards of trustees and ex-
pert practitioners of medicine and sur
gerry can not be too highly praised.
In populous cities thousands of IN
dividuals are cared for annually, and
very large percentage of the cases
are handled successfully. Without
these admirable establishments thou
sands of the sick and unfortunate
might very easily cease to exist.
Since the earliest times there have
been some sort of places which were
designed for hospital work, although
at first they were little more than
shelters or cheap,y built almshouses
In the Roman camps there was a
medical staff to Look after the
wounded.
Among the earliest hospitals on
record is that said to have been
founded by Valens in Caesarae
370-80 A. D., the one built in Rhorne
by Fabiola, Roman lady, although
like most others of that and even la
ter times, both institutions probably
wer almshouses as well.
