USING ALCOHOL. IN HOSPITAL
Out Of 1929 Patients Spirits Were Ad.
nInlstered to but Three, All
Three Proving Fatal.

The London Temperance hospital
has for 40 years treated diseases and
accidents without the use of alcohol.
At the last annual meeting of It's
board of directors, Sir T. Veyez, who
took the chair in tho absence Of Lord
Averstone, the president, said it's
progress had been continuous and sat
isfactory. Last year the hospital had
2T74S out-patients and 1929 in-pa-
Gents or the 1929 cases alcohol was
only administered in three, and he
regretted to add that all those three
proved fatal. Sir Victor Horsley said
this hospital had been a pioneer in
medical science. The old routine was
represented by three D's-diet, drugs,
and drink, and 1t was long before the
profession as a whole followed the
lead of that hospital in getting rid
of the last item. Sir Victor corrected
the common notion that 1t was impos-
sible to prepare certain tinctures and
medicines without alcohol.

sumed-the hand of a maharajah or
an Indian princess. These foretinger
rings are usually set with one large
cabochon stone or single pearl sur
rounded by smaller stones. OF course,
genuine pearl, large enough to form
the center of such ring, would be
worth a maharaJahs ransom, but no
stigma attaches to the imitation pearl
these days, and some of these near
pearls are really marvellous in their
color and luster. Such pearl set
in a ring of small diamonds or rubies,

Had Laugh on Experts.

The sultan of Turkey once played
joke at the expense OF some medical
experts at Constantinople. When the
plague broke out in his capital the
sultan asked If anything was known
as to the cause. On being informed
that it was to be found in the state of
the drinking water. he called at once
for six empty bottles, which he had
filled in his presence, all from the
same one of the palace wells, placed
his own seal upon them, and then.
without divulging their community OF
origin, handed all six to a prominent
analyst. To his amazement the report
sent in was that four of the samples
contained plague microbes. The fifth
was merely putrid water, and the sixth
was quite pure. Abdul Hamid calm

crate ceremony. Mile. Ferdinande de
Lesseps struck the first blow of pick
ak at the point where the canal was to
enter the Pacific, each of the party fol-
lowed with blow, and there was q
vast quantity of applause and cham
payne.
From the very first the French COM
pany was beset with troubles. AS the
canal was not a government under
taking the work had to be let out to
contractors, and many of these prov.
ed to be dishonest. They would take
out the soft dirt, collect the stipulat-
ed price per cubic yard, and then go
into bankruptcy. At Bogota the poll
ticians not only exacted the usual
blackmail, but annoyed the company
with all manner of litigation, the ma
tive courts invariably ruling against
the French. Worst of all, perhaps,
were the yellow fever and malaria,
which killed off the engineers and
laborers by the thousand. In the last
three months of 1884 the death rate
per thousand was nearly 100, and in
September 1885, il reached 1867.
Sanitary science had not yet learned
how to cope with these diseases, and
there is every reason to believe that
their ravages alone would have been
enough to insure the failure of, de
Lesseps' enterprise, without the gross
extravaganza and the dishonesty that
characterize9 the work.
"The crash came in 1885," says Mr..
Edwards. After eight years of as
brave a fight as man had ever made
against nature, the bubble burst. 1t is
estimated that stock had been issued
to the value of two hundred and fifty
million dollars. 1t is doubtful If half
this sum ever got near enough to
Panama to be expended on actual
work. Most of this paper was held by
French peasants and people of mod
crate means. They had been led into
1t by the great name of de Lesseps

inal promoters were caught with stool

on their hands when the final break
came. The scandal was immense.
Many government officials were in
yolved. The shame of it drove the old
man--le Grand Francais-insane. He
died a few years later in an asylum"
The company went into the hands of
a receiver who organized the New
French Canal company, and this con-
Germ sold all its rights and property
to the United States in 1902. Many
of its buildings, ranging in size from
de Lesseps' palace in Cristobal to
houses for laborers, were found worth
preserving and have been used by the
Americans. The hospital buildings at
Ancon and Colon were nearly all erect
ed by the French.
When Uncle Sam took hold OF the
canal work, the jungle all along the
route across the isthmus was found
full of expensive machinery abandoned
TO the ravages of rust and decay. Much
of this was recovered and used in the
earlier years of the American regime,
and even now French dredges and To-
comotives may be seen at work there.
Nearly all the old French equipment,
however, has been sold to q Chicago
wrecking concern which has been pill
ing it up in orderly heaps and dispos-
ing of it as scrap.
