\ SEA GOING HOSPITAL
 FOR DEEP SEA FISHERMEN
By THOMAS w. SALMON, M. D. United States Mari ne Hospital Service

ward of the United States Marine hos pitals can be seen the results of the fail- ure to obtain treatment in time. Dr. L. l.. Williams. the surgeon in command of the United States Marine hospital at Boston, has presented to the surgeon general a plan to extend the work of the marine hospital service so as to give relief to the fisherman when it will do him the most good.
 , It Is proposed to build schooner of the best type, provide her with ample auxil- iary power, fit her with complete little hospital amidships and with all the euuip- ment necessary for giving medical aid at sea, and to send her out to patrol a watery beat which will bring her into communication at frequent intervals with the deep sea fishermen of New England- from The Georges to Banquereau in win ter and to the Grand Banks in summer. Manned by skipper and crew who have been fishermen themselves and who know the banks as a landsman knows hls own back yard, it would be possible to cruise to such advantage that 90 per cent of the vessels in this wide area could be spoken in clear weather.
 It is, of course, fof Congress to say whether this plan can be carried out or

The Night Air

From the Hartford Courant.
 The formal announcement by the sec- retary of the state board of health that people should throw open the windows at night recalls a recent conversation among a number of Yale men of not very recent graduation. One of these, giving his rem iriscences Of President Noah Porter. re- called a talk the kindly gentleman gave to his freshman class. Young gentle men," said the president, "the air of New Haven is especially heavy and damp at night. owing to the proximity of the city to the sea, and I wish to advise you al ways to keep your windows closed at night; otherwise your health will be like ly to suffer-" That was the advice of the president of the institution and it was given not so very long ago. It is signifi- cant to the extent to which ideas change with the years. Now everybody is for out of doors air and the person who fol- lowed the advice of President Porter would be condemned out of hand, and yet, if we are not mistaken. that gentle
 man managed to live out his three score
 and ten and do them about Il better. He
 was born In 1911 and died In 1892. He be.
 lieved in closed windows.

An 1904 Dollar in Circulation

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Somewhere in Chicago a silver dollar, valued by numismatists at sG5o is waiting to be recognized. It was stolen recently from the collection of Charles E. Rogers by workmen, who MT. Rogers has reason to believe had no idea of it's real worth.e
 The dollar Is of the issue of 1894. In numismatic circles 1t ranks about as does the Mona Lisa" among artists.
 "I had some decorating done," said MT. Rogers, "and there were a lot of men running in and out. The coin was in a small chest in the dining room. I'm afraid some ignorant workman grabbed 1t, went out and bought drink with 1t. If so it may now be in general circulation" !"

 '1he earl said to the duke:

Whats in a Name

From the Popular Magazine.
 John Wanamaker, the great New York and Philadelphia merchant, who is generally weighed down by the size of his bank roll. prepared to board a suburban street car near Philadelphia one day when he discovered that in some way he had forgotten his purse. He didn't even have care fare in his purse.
 Stepping into little drug store near by, he asked the proprietor:
 Would you be kind enough to lend me a quarter? I find that I haven't a cent with me-"
 Well I don't know why I should began the druggist.
 "Oh, I'll send it back to you tonight !" cut in MT. Wanamaker. Heres my card"

When a man is able to rise from his own grounds and travel with the speed of an express train in any chosen direc- ton in a machine of moderate cost, oper- aated wholly by himself, there will be no reason why the situation of his manufac- tory or office should have much influence upon his place of residence.

From the Cassier's Magazine.

It has been shown in other countries that the part of the loss which is due to the lack of medical care can be greatly re- duced.- IT it is possible for an initial ex- penditure of $25000 and for an annual out lay of from $10,0O0 to s12,000 to keep a thoroughly efficient hospital schooner on the American banks the year around, it is difficult to think of an adequate reason fer deferring such relief much longer.
