QUAKER MEDITATIoNs.

IFrom the Philadelphia Record.1
A man is generally surer of an old
enemy than a new friend.
When a fellow has the reputation of
being a bad egg, don't try to beat him.
Love may make the world go round,
but it doesn't always seem able to
make both ends meet.
Beauty is only skin deep. The
chicken can't sing like the nightingale,
but it's a heap better eating.
A man is never old enough to know
enough not to marry a girl who is
young enough to be his granddaughter.
Many a man loveth his country with
the impetuous ardor that an impe-
cunious nobieman loves an American
heiress.

New TYNE of Women.

America is producing a new type of
woman, who has the learning of a
Questioning, but who has lost moth
ing of the womanly tenderness of an
earlier generation: and she seems ca
pable of taking her religion in an alb
straet form. without the use of SYM
bols-a thing hitherto unknown to her
sex. And. combined with wide In
tellectual outlook and true womanli-
ness, she has the passion for righte-
BUSINESS that one finds in the earnest
religious set of narrower school.
This brings me to some curious phe-
nomena that are now presenting them
selves in the religious life of America.
Christianity-the belief In Jesus as the
Son of Gods passing openly and
publicly. Heads of schools and colleges
do not hesitate to announce views that
in England would ruin them as the
guides of youth. Many of the churches
are places of improving entertainment,
where the duty of man to man takes
the place of the duty of man to his
God. Theology no longer appeals to
the masses in England, but In Amer
lea it has changed its character, and
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
SELF is becoming the whole duty of
man.-Joseph Burt of London in Les
lies .

A ROSE.

A ROSE.
A bud-pink, graceful sweet
On Bonded stalk of dainty green.
A bud that sunset CLOVIS might meet
And find its match in sweetest color
seen.
A bud-stis in its youth. and now
1t scents the air. so. sweet though
And its pure heart and fineness would
allow
Its presence next the cheek of purest
saint
A full-blown blossom-'tis a rose
In its great splendor rocks and sways
On graceful stalk in graceful pose,
And thus it lives through summer days
A rose, in summer time of life
"A Flower that knows no care or pain,
Knows nothing of our mortal strife,
But knows the sun and cooling rain
A rose-its heart has had tiny blight,
The world is not so sweet as days or
yore,
1t seems as If it's nearly always night.
1t longs to bloom on the Celestial shore.
A Fose-it weeps; its petals fall;
1t wants to die and bloom In heavenly
lands;
It's glad at last to hear the call.
& For earth, once rich, seems now like
wasting sands.
A rose? All, no; it's but rod.
And yet 1t is not wholly gone;
tbs but proof of the great love of God,
Its duty in this world is not: yet done.
The wind will blow it onward DER the
earth.
OF all this life one rose is but part.
Yet who but God can estimate Its

was higher than in the east, in New
York and New England. being $2.o25
per patient as against $1.74s.
The total expenditures of the thirty
institutions were $1.S63.953.2s. while
$1,54S,525.74. More than 10 per cent
of the receipts were received from
public funds and private benefactions,
only 2s.s per cent being from patients
Stated in another way only 35 per
cent of the total expenditures were re-
ceived from patients. the remainder
being made UP from other sources.
Computing that there are in the
United States at least 500. 900 INDECENT
consumptives who should be cared for
in charitable or semi-charitable sana-
toria and hospitals, the national asso-
citation estimates that the annual cost
to the country for the treatment of
these persons would be $50,0O0,0o0 at
the rate of $1.669 per day per patient.
At the lowest possible estimate the
country loses 5000. 100000 year from
the incapacity of thse INDECENT victims
of tuberculosis. This would mean a
net saving of $15O.O00.000 year to
the United States If all cases of con-
sumption who are too poor to afford
proper treatment in expensive sana-
toria were cared for at the expense OF
the municipality, county or state And
this annual gain does not include the
enormous saving that would accrue
from the lessened infection due to the
segregation of the dangerous con-
sumptives in institutions.

COST OF TUBERCULOSIS FIGHT.

In a preliminary bulletin on the cost
of maintaining a tuberculosis sana-
forum, the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis announces that the average cost
per patient per day in thirty semi
charitable sanatoria scattered in all
parts of the United States is 1869.
These institutions represent an annual
expenditure of over $1,3O0,O0O and
over $4,000 days of treatment given
each year. The bulletin, which is
part of an extensive study the nation
al association is making for its bureau
of information, points out how the
country could save annually at least
$3.50, 100000, if the INDECENT consump-
tives were properly segregated.
1t was found that the food cost in
most institutions represented one
third of the annual expenditures. The
average daily food cost per patient was
$0.544. The expenditures for salaries
and wages represented nearly another
third, being $0.4S1 per day per patient
out of a total of $1.669 The fuel
oil and light cost was $0.206 per capita
per diem or about one-eighth of this
total cost.
The daily cost in the several institu
lions ranged all the way from $0.94t

CANNON AND THE sPEAKERsHIP

Several newspapers in these and 9TH
er parts of the country are throwing
a few additional fits because of the an
nouncement made by Joseph G. Cannon,
while he was in Kansas, that he would
lot turn down a Republican caucus
termination for the speakership of the
next house of representatives if one
should come his way. In other words
he is a receptive candidate for the
speakership of the next house, provided
the Illinois district where he lives. sees
fit to re-elect him, and of that there is
little doubt.
Now. why, pray tell. should this an
nouncement of Mr.. Cannon cause any
undue alarm or frenzied excitement in
any quarter? According to the con-
gressional insurgents most Of the pow
