Public Health.

Diseases and epidemics used to be
counted as ''acts of God" in the old
legal phrase. 1t has taken modern
sanitary science to discover that the
most of them result from acts of man
and that a good portion of the rest
may be controlled by the exercise Of
mans power over nature. The United
States government has been a pioneer
among the nations in demonstrating
the power of modern sanitation to save
life. 1t sent Waring to Havana. He
made 1t city Of health and laid down
his life in so doing. 1t took a fever
smitten tropic wilderness. its noxious
jungles steaming under a torrid sun.
and the death rate of the Panama ca
nal zone is today an example to the
most salubrious regions of the world.
The whole history of modern santa
ton tends to drive home public re-
sponsibility for public health.-St.

The Spider and the Bee.

A correspondent of Countryside was
sitting one day upon an English moor.
watching large heather spider as 1t
crOuched expectant in its web Sud
denly he saw the spider firmly grip
the web with its feet and shake 1t
with all its might After awhile it
repeated the operation, and soon the
reason became apparent. Whenever Il
bee flew near the web the spider gave
this warning signal. 1t did not want
any such visitor. If bee happened
to get entangled in the web the spider
at once cut out that part and SO rid
itself Of its unwelcome guest That
any creature can weave web more
intricate than tisherman's net and.
moreover, that it should possess the
instinct or reasoning power to put the
web in the best place and there pa
tiently await its prey suggests that
the border line between instinct and
reason is far from distinct

A Fairly Good Reason,

Sir William Meredith. chief justice
Of Ontario. and Mr.. Hellmuth are mu-
tual fathers-in-law the lawyers daugh-
ter having welded the son of the
knight. During a rather tedious argu-
ment on case which Sir William
was hearing Mr. Hellmuth was pro-
ceeding to elaborate on a certain point
Of law which he thought had an impor-
tant bearing on the issue. But the
chief justice thought otherwise. He
was impatient. For awhile he listen
ed to the lawyers argument; then he
leaned back with an air of boredom
and interrupted with: "Mr. Hellmuth.
It seems to me that this is not rele-
want. What reason is there why
should be compelled to listen to all
this?" Mr.. Hellmuth's mouth had just
a suspicion of smile around its cor
ners as he answered. Reason, my
lord? Why. $4,000 a year"
