In 1860 I was practicing medicine in
Millersville, Pennsylvania, a thriving
farming community. A prominent
citizen of that locality called at my
office one day in very feeble condi-
ton So much SO he had to be assist
ed in alighting from his wagon.
I found on questioning him that he
had been afflicted for about two years.
He had consulted various doctors,
among them a specialist from Phila-
delphia. They Pronounced his disease
to be Bright's disease of the kidneys.
He was gradually failing in strength,
losing flesh rapidly, and altogether
presented a very pitiable spectacle,
the remnant of a once strong and
happy man.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
THE WOMEN OF PRAGUE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


II you have ever been in the city Of
Prague you will have seen the women
of that city doing much of the rough
work that usually is done by men.
In Bohemia women mix mortar.
They carry hods up long ladders.
They shovel sand and coal.
The spectacle Is new and unusual to
American eyes, and the tourist is apt
to pity the lot Of these Woodworking
women. The toll Is arduous, and to us
It is unseemly.
And yet
A lot Of American women are as de-
serving of sympathy.
The women Of Prague get 80 to 40
cents q day. How do they keep soul
and body together? In most instances
the husbands labor and also the chill
dren.
get paltry 6 cents dozen for max
ing overalls1 The Prague women work
about eight hours a day, while our
sweatshop slaves toll far into the hours
Of the night.
Besides, the Bohemian women work
In the open air. They are strong and
lusty. When you note how easily they
do their tasks, laughing and chatting,
you feel that your pity is wasted. The
sweatshop workers live in cheap and
flthy tenements where the air is foul
and the surroundings noisome and in
sanitary.
Or
Compare the women Of Prague with
the wives of some Of our own day la
borers.
Forty cents a day is $40 week,
which seems a pitiful sum for the Ia
Dor Of a woman for week. But
How many wives Of workingmen in
this country get that much money per
week for their household labors, their
child bearing. their scrimping econo-
mies-the most trying and nerve rack
ing of all employments?
Or
Compare the pay and hours Of labor
OF the Bohemian women with the re-
Enumeration of the average busy wife
and mother. Does she get an hour Of
rest at noon? Does she quit her days
labor at O'Clock?
Some such wives and mothers get
'pin money" but thousands do not re-
ceiye so much as $40 per week for
their exhausting labors and nervous
strain.
The rough employments of the
Prague women seem to us uncalled for,
II not cruel, 1t is true, nevertheless,
that by comparison of hours and pay
many American women do more and
receive less.

so.
This went on for about two months,
the patient failing all the time, and
was becoming thoroughly discourag-
ed with the case.
One day the patient said to me,
Doctor, why don't you give me the
medicine you gave my neighbor? We
all thought he would die, but your
medicine cured him. This was why
came to you. Why not give me the
same medicine you gave him."
But" said your neighbor did not
have kidney disease. 1t was bowel

case. l remember l gave him the

medicine you gave him. 1t worked
wonders with him and | believe il

But" l said, this is not medicine
for kidney disease"
well, since you seem to be like the
rest of the doctors, you cannot help
me, why not try the medicine that
helped my neighbour"
After some hesitation | concluded to
give him a bottle of it. In ten days
he returned. He at once began to be-
rate me in no complimentary words,
saying:
You knew very we'll this medicine
would help me. You held it back
merely to get more fees for treating
me. From the first the medicine has
helped me and l have made rapid i'm

medicine a year ago l should have
ben saved a great deal of expense and
loss of time

confused by his brusque manner and
rough speech. l gave him another bot

again for about three weeks. Once
more he called at my office for anoth

Psychology Of Sleep.

The psychology of sleep is vast and
little explored subject. Sleep deepens
to trance. trance to death. Therefore
in life, speaking somewhat paradox
cally, sleep Is most akin to death.
Whether the spirit Is parted from the
body and goes long journeys through
space. or whether it is in a state of
one long dream, parts Of which we are
alone conscious of, is a matter for the
Society Of Psychical Research. Yet
many Of us have dreamed things. seen
things or even spoken and heard things
In sleep which we have seen, heard or
spoken later on in reality. We can
more or less follow the stages up to
the final sleep OF all. but here we must
pause, and. with Hamlet. in vain at
tempt to learn what lies beyond the
veil: And in that sleep Of death, what
dreams may come"-London Globe.
