A Drive of Two Nights and a Day to
Get Patient to a Doctor Over
Snow and Ice

When a man becomes seriously i'll in
a Maine lumber camp which may be
from 80 to 100 miles away from the
nearest railroad station, the problem of
getting him out so that he may receive
medical treatment is difficult to solve
Owing to the crowded condition of the
camps it is out of the question to allow
the patient to remain. The rough roads.
the length of the trip and the exposure
during the journey make the moving very
hazardous under favoring conditions; but

In the course of years the resourceful
woodsmen have developed what they
term camp ambulance. In the fall and
early winter, when the grain for feeding
horses is brought in by the tote teams.

man has been stricken with pneumonia

firmly on the frame of a sled and made
to face away from the prevailing wind.
Then, when the inside has been uphol-
stored with straw and warm blankets,
the patient is brought out and placed i'll
the hogshead, and when heated stones
have been piled up on both sides the
teamster urges his horse into a sharp trot
and is away on, his race to doctors Of

The passing of one of these primitive
ambubances through the frozen and 81
lent forests of Maine in midwinter is an
impressive spectacle. The horse is driy-

every camp on the route a brief stop is
made to exchange the tired horse for
a fresh animal. Then, with a cup of
hot coffee for the teamster and pocket
full OF doughnuts to eat on the way the
conveyance is off again, urching and
gliding through the woods and across
silent lakes, with no companions save the
biting winds and binding sunlight Of
day and the starlight of the long nights.
AT times two nights and day, or two
days and night, are passed thus in the
open, and though the danger of death is
always great, and though a certain per

He af1irms that the warm, dry air of
the crowded school produces dullness,
and that if he wanted to bring up
boy as a fool he would send him to a
school in which such conditions prevail
He favors cooler rooms, with plenty of
fresh air. even if it necessitates the
wearing of their street clothes by the
children while they are coming their
tasks. Perhaps Principal Watt is in
danger of going too far in the direction
of the extreme against which he sounds
his warning. But in all public assem-
bly, rooms the prevalent evil is over
heated, poisonous air.

is in and out of his house, keeping an

Viilalobar Is Popular.

Marquis de Villalobar, who used to be
a well known and popular figure in Lon
don society during the many years that
he filled the post of councillor to the
Spanish embassy, is likely, the London
World thinks, to obtain a similar social
success in the United States, where he is
now ambassador. His conduct at the
San Francisco fetes," that periodical oh
serves, was exactly adapted to make
him popular with the American people
He will spend the winter in Washington
amid a eeaselesS round of entertainments
and will soon be as well known in the
capital of the United States as he was
in London. He will notice the difference
between the two in the fact that Wash.
ington society is almost entirely Official.

WANT IN LONDON.
Conditions IN the East End Never Worse
Than Now.

The Rev. l.. S. Wainwright, vicar of
st. Peters, London Docks, and chairman
of the Stepney distress committee, re-
ferred at the Grosvenor hall, Bucking-
ham Palace road, to unemployment in the
east end dock district. He said he knew
the real state of affairs and could say
that the distress this year was greater
than last year. Since the time of the
great dock strike many years ago, the
conditions in the east end had been going
from bad to worse, and of late years I'M
employment figures had been going up by
leaps and bounds. Nobody could really
foresee how it all would end or how
much longer the people would last out
without breaking into open rebellion. At
Stepney since the register opened at the
end of September there had been 1880
applications for work from men and
thirty from women. OF these 256 men
were today at work, and since the open
ing of the register 324 had been found
employment through the local distress
committee. These figures do not repre-
sent the full extent of the poverty, be-
cause scores of men, tired of applying
without possibility of securing work.

boards were bare, and men, women and

The mo taxation without representa-
ton idea, which inspired the American
Revolutionary fathers, is an incentive to
the English suffragettes during the trying
time which they are having with the po-
icemen of London. Here is a Kipling-
esque stanza, very popular among surg
ing crowds in the vicinity of the Houses
of Parliament:
We went up to Saint Stephens with petit.
tions year by year;
Get out!f the politicians cried 1--WE want
no women herei"

when the taxes are to pay;
When the taxes are to pay. my friends, the

The circumstance regarding this song
likely to create most evaporation in the
minds of those anxious to sidetrack the
issue it presents is that it contains more
truth than poetry.

Canada has taken up immigration re-
striction in no uncertain or hating way
She seems to be sure of what she wants
and unhesitating in regard to means of
bringing it about. The general immigra-
ton bill presented to the House at Otta-
wa yesterday by Frank Oliver minister
of the interior, provides that no immi-
grant shall be admitted who has less
than $500 with him on his arrival One
object of the bill is to prevent Hindoos
in British Columbia moving with their
families into Canada. In presenting the
bin Mr., Oliver said il was especially de-
signed to keep out undesirable immisra-
ton from the United States. He ex-
planned that although the highest class of
immigration that ever came into any
country is the influx of American farmers
into the western provinces, a great many
Europeans seek admission to Canada
through the United States. and of
these upward of 1000 were rejected last
year The Inference is that Canada. al
though a newer country, and compare.
| lively undeveloped, is more particular
as to who shall settle within her borders
than the United States.

Military Hospital has made a report to
the French Academy of Medicine in
which he declares that one of the chief
causes of epidemics of typhoid fever is
the neglect of cooks and kitchen workers
TO wash their hands. He says they com
municate the disease by washing meats,
vegetables and dishes with hands on
which typhoid bacilli swarm. Water and
milk. he believes, are not great carriers
of germs, as is supposed, but the hui
man hands that carry the water and milk
are. Physicians everywhere will do well
