told hefore departing from Elkton that if
they got through without the aid of
teams they would be lucky. The trip
was made, however, without incident and
although the roads were somewhat heavy.
they were considered fairly good for this

thence into Baltimore, via the old Har-

Powers and Peck, executors of the Jude
vine estate. and others, VS.. the trustees
OF the Caledonia county grammar school,
which will be made at the present term
of Caledonia county court.
The case, which has been in course
of hearing before Charles d. Watson of
this city as special master, since last
August, closed Nov 25 There was in
'volved the title to public right set to

Women parasites7. Nonsensel

Francis w. Crowninshield, of the edi-
torial staff of the Century Magazine,
says:
''0f course / do not see the married
women of this country as helpless, par
asitical dependents that parasite IDEA
is nonsense. There are more weak
kneed, dependent husbands than there
are parasitical wives.
at isn't the fault of the American
woman that she is marrying less free
.quently and unmarrying more frequent
ly. It's the fault of the American man.
Once a rich man supposed himself to
have the privilege of a Red Rover. He
believed that all he had to do was to
throw his handkerchief at woman, or
slap her on the cheek, and she would
humbly and thankfully become his wife.
Now that sort of man merely bores a
woman. And she's not going to pretend
that he doesn't.
"The modern wife wants husband
who has read Brieux and Arthur Schnitz-
Ter. She wants him to know the paint
ings Of Matisse. She looks for cul-
tivated taste in music, an interest in
chamber concerts. For the woman of to-
day is caught in all the cultural currents,
all the new social movements. / believe,
indeed, that she is more responsive to
them than the men,"

Growth of Hospitals.

The hospital is becoming an important
factor in most communities, not only of
this country, but also of the civilized
world. 1t was nearly two centuries after
the first white man landed on the shores
of Massachusetts bay that the first hos
pital was built. The first hospitals in
this country We're the New York hos
pital, the Pennsylvania hospital and the
Massachusetts general hospital. Few
municipalities of any size now exist
without their citl ospitals. There are
twice as many hospitals in existence to-
day as there We're three years ago. With
this rapid growth, many of the hospitals
are undoubtedly in more or less crude
condition, according to Dr. H. b. Howard
OF Boston, who discusses the question
in recent issue of The Journal of the
American Medical Association, this con-
dition is temporary and will disappear
as these new hospitals become better or
gained and equipped. The three things,
he says, that our hospitals should stand
for are % the care of the patients, t2)
scientific investigation and 81 the edu
cation of physicians, nurses, orderlies,
every one within its walls, and through
them the community at large, concerning
the various maladies that are brought
within it's doors. A hospital without
patients cannot educate; it cannot do
good. If some of the money is used to
construct smaller and more economical
buildings, and the part which is left is
used for opening and running the insti-
tuition for a few years so that the COM
munity becomes impressed with its con-
venience and usefulness, this education
and demonstration will bring philanthro-
pists to the front who are glad to keep
its doors open and furnish it with plenty
of funds for legitimate expenses. The
rapid advance in the construction of
hospitals makes certain that in no very
distant time public opinion will demand
that each community shall have suffi-
Gent beds in its hospitals to care for
every sick person who needs to be with
in their walls. The medical profession
is gradually being much more carefully
educated and much better fitted for the
care of patients, but proportionately
fewer persons are seeking this profess
sion. This foreshadows, accompanies and
makes for the Advancement of the hos
pital, because the gathering of the sick
into hospitals not only places them
where they can be better treated and
given better chance of recovery, there
by lowering the death rate of the com
munity, but it also conserves the en-
ergy of the physician and multiplies his
usefulness. The German communities
are much farther advanced in this par
ticular than the American. Their insur-
ance laws have brought about the sup
port of sick laborers and servants in hos
pitfalls built by the cities. The hospitals !
in the suburbs OF Berlin and other Ger
man municipalities may well stand as
models for cities of much larger size in
this country.

English Exclusiveness.

The Englishman, as everyone knows,
is inclined to be- individual and indie
pendent. il not exclusive. He is happy
with his family in his country mansion,
where a high hedge insures seclusion,
and permits only the chimneys of his
house to be seen from the road. He
does not crave excitement and convivial-
ity. He prefers the quiet and peace of
the semi-rural suburb to the whirl of
the city, He does not like to be within
too easy access of the maelstorm. The
automobile and the train and trolley car
are quite speedy enough With his fam
lily about him, and the city and its bust
ness cares at a safe distance, the Eng
