The line of treatment generally fol-

oxygen and limiting the diet to milk,

foods. In this respect 1t will be re-

that oxygen was given to Mr.. Harri-

MUSIC sooTHEs THE SICK.
Hospital Patients Greatly Benefited
 by e Kind-Hearted Player.

Hospital Patients Greatly Benefited
 by a Kind-Hearted Player.
 The gifts that some of us possess fof doing good to others was strikingly shown a few days ago in an uptown hospital. A student who was an ex- pert mandolin player had called on a friend who was a patient in the insti- tuition, and at the sick mans request he had brought his instrument. The patients room was one of many that opened off reception room. Among the patients on the same floor was a suf- ferer from the morphine habit, who at frequent intervals had to be given a potion to quiet his nerves. As the time approached for him to receive this he would become so nervous that he would almost rave. Not far away was a young woman suffering from a ner- vous breakdown. She was rarely at rest.
 Suddenly the first notes of Mendels- sohn's Spring Song" broke the quiet of the hospital Mellowed by distance, the music of the mandolin, played by a master hand, sounded like that of a violin. The effect on the patients was noticeable at once. The morphine user, who had been begging for his potion, paused to listen and forgot the craving for the drug. It was the same with the young woman. Instead of picking at the counterpane she lay perfectly still, fearful of missing a note from the sweet melody that fioated in through her open door.
 Then came Home, Sweet Home" and as some of the patients lay with closed eyes from under many a lid there stole a tear as the sufferers thought of the homes to which some of them might never return. Again and again did the musician favor his eager audience with selections. classical or ropular. Even the nurses and physi- clans felt soothed and benefited as the result of the efforts of the obliging stu dent. The thanks of his score of hear CTS shone from their eyes as the young man left the room of his friend and took the elevator for the first floor.
 That did our patients more good than lots of the medicine they take" remarked one of the physicians. "It is a pity that some rich man does not provide enough money so that the sick and injured in our hospitals could bs soothed at frequent intervals by at good music as that which we have jH heard.

 "Oh, I'm so sorry. Really, I do all I can, I'm sure" said Mrs. Archibald, pathetically I'm doing things all the time."
 'Yes," said Archibald, feeling secure now he had got her to admit she was in the wrong You do a great deal, admit. But you should remember 1t is not what you do but what you leave undone that shows most"
 "oh, Archie, you are so wise always, ,ren't you?' said his wife admiringly. I know that what you say Is true. 1 simply mustn't leave things undone any more. Now won't you please hook up the back of my waist right awayf That's been undone for the last half hour"

 English Man of Letters.
 England's great poet and essayist Algernoh Charles Swinburne, died at the age of T2, at his home in Putney. One of the greatest poets of the vfS- torian period, all England expected Tennyson's mantle of poet laureate to fall upon his shoulders. But Swinburne was strong in his likes and dislikes and some of his works were tinged with his animosity against kings and priests. He created a style of his own and cared little for criticism. He was early inspired by Shakespeare and later be- came a devo',t worshiper of Browning. Upon leaving Oxford he spent some time in travel. He contributed a wealth of impassioned poetry to the English language and in addition was keen critic. His strong personality has left an indelible mark upon literature.
