Future Of Spinal Anaesthesia.

The position which spinal anaesthe-
sia is destined to hold in the field of
surgery in the future is not yet
clearly to be discerned. Its true
claims. indeed. at the present day are
not very easy to state with precision,
for it is comparatively new venture
and It's methods are not yet certain.
nor are the opinions as to its value
among those who are practicing it by
any means unanimous.
Spinal anaesthesia does not appear
to be welcomed so warmly in Great
Britain as in some of the continental
countries. and we believe that the
main reason is that there is less
cause to be dissatisfied with the use
OF general anaesthetics here than
there is abroad.-Lancet Uondon).

How Affection Of Lord Kelvin, the
Famous British Physicist, for
His Wife Really Led to
His Death.

Two years ago in December, the
cable brought the news to this coun-
try, where he was widely known and
loved. that Lord Kelvin, the great Brit
ish physicist, had died after brief
Illness. A day or SO later the cabled
accounts of mis- funeral told that the
only flowers on his casket at the fu-
neral was a wreath from Lady Kel-
vim. How Lord Kelvin's great love
for his wife really led to his death is
here told for the first time, and the
story is vouched for by Mr.. George
Westinghouse of Pittsburg. who was
one OF Lord Kelvins most intimate
friends.
When Lady Kelvin accompanied
Lord Kelvin to America" said Mr..
Westinghouse. everybody who met
the two were invariably impressed
with their deep devotion to each 9TH
er. 1t was easily apparent that Lady
Kelvin was not only a sharer in her
husbands interests In mechanics,
physics. industrial development, and
all science. in fact-of which he was
In so great degree a master-but also
that their domestic relations were
ideal, she constantly looking to his
comfort and ministering to him, and
he responding with gentle carresses.
During Lord Kelvin's last visit to
this country. his friends here learned
that he was deeply solicitious regard
ing the state OF Lady Kelvin's health.
Some time after his return to Eng
land. word was received that adv
Kelvin had. in fact, become hope
Gilpin observer., 1910-01-27

and to those who endeavored to per.
suade him to rest now and then, he re-
piled that during the time left to him
and to Lady Kelvin to be together, he
felt that he ought to give her his con-
stant attention. And SO, hour after
hour, he sat by his wife's bedside.
holding her hand and talking with
her.
At last there happened what Lord
Kelvin's friends had feared all along
the strain of his constant vigil of
love broke him down completely, and
having no surplus vitality to rely upon
for recuperation, he passed away.
To-day Lady Kelvin fingers on, a
hopeless invalid-and doubt not that
all her thoughts in all her waking
hours are of the man whose whole
married life was dominated by the
one Thought of her comfort and hap
piness."

WAGES PAID OUT FOR FOOD
Figures Show That Bulk Of Earnings
Go for Absolutely Necessary
Expenses.

The standard of living among work
men in this city has been Investigated
and reported on by the New York
Association for Improving the Condi-
ton of the Poor. The report shows
that among 1000 men. who had been
compelled to ask for aid. the average
yearly wage, when employed at full
time, varied from $525 to $575. The
men whose statements were used in
this computation were practically all
able-bodied, with families and anxious
to work. The percentage of skilled
and unskilled laborers in the 1000
was about equal. The average wage
fell more than 5000 short of the $500
necessary for a decent standard of
living under prevailing economic con.
ditions in this city. This standard
was fixed by recent study made un-
der the Sage Foundation, which
showed 1t was impossible for a family
Of five or six. the average size. to
maintain a normal standard of living
on an income under $500 year. The
federal bureau of labor reports an in
vestigation it made. showing the aver
age income among 1.415 workmen in
the North Atlantic states. among
whom the percentage of skilled labor
was high, was $S34.S3. Against this
was an average yearly expenditure Of
$77S.04. of which but 43 per cent. was
spent for food. Asreport based on re-
turns received from about 1000 fami-
lies in Berlin and Hamburg, in Ger
many, showed an average yearly in
come for skilled workmen there of
s45S.S3. and the average expenditure
s457.71. of which $51.5 per cent. was
spent for food alone. These figures
were obtained by the imperial statisti-
cal department of Berlin, and com.
mented on in London newspapers.
Among the unskilled laborers in in.
dustrial and commercial occupations.
the report showed an average yearly
income of s4097S. and an average
yearly expenditure Of s411.7O. OF
which "a per cent. went for food

sunlight streaming through the win

hair, making it sparkle like gold. She
had always been pretty, but to-day she

Certainly it seems like carrying

hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and

The reason is simple; while the

Vigil of Loue Killed Sauar,t

that Lord Kelvin himself was serious
ly7ill, and within a week or two the
announcement of his death followed.
ut was his solicitude for the COM
fort of his invalid wife-his helpmeet
of life time-that really killed him.
Though he was a man of advanced
years, and had need to husband his
strength. from the day that Lady Kel-
vim became an invalid he was in con-
slant attendance upon her. He could
scarcely be prevailed upon to leave
her for few minutes, even; he
seemed to feel that that time was
wasted which he could not devote to
the care of his wife. He was con-
vinced that her illness was mortal,
