NEWS TRAVELS IN HOSPITALS
Wireless Outdone In Rapidlty with
 Which Patients Get Forbidden . Information.

"A very efficient system of wire less telegraphy exists in every hos. pital," said the nurse. Apparently all patients have the knack of trans. hitting messages, otherwise che news of serious cases would not travel SO quickly and accurately from ward to ward. It is contrary to the rules for hospital attendants to retail gossip, and most of them do observe strict secrecy, yet notwithstanding that pre-. caution there is never an interesting case in the building whose history is not known and discussed ip the re. motest corner.
 "Last week a boy suffering from a peculiar kind of throat trouble was brought into a first floor ward. The doctors were very much interested in .he case yet they took special pains never to mention it in the hearing ot another patient. But for all the good their caution did they might as well nave lectured on the case in every ward: for when the boy died men and women all about the hospital said te the nurses:
 "'So that poor boy died, did he? i guess there wasn't much hope tor him from the start
 Now. DOW did tho news travel?"

Why They Can Spell #.

Before went to Europe" said the school teacher, it was one of the mysteries of my profession how every British child enrolled in our schools came to be authority on the spelling of chilblains. Teachers might heZ,. tate over one Il" or two, the children never. They might make photographic mess of the simplest ope syllable word. but the t:liest tut from the British isles went to the head of the class on chilblains every time. Ons wintry month in those same islands told mo why. It is the word they saw oftenest. In drug stores in clothing stores, in shops of all kinds cures and preventives of chilblains are uni versally advertised. Owing to the exigencies of the climate there is a regular chilblains literature present. sd for those chil3-en's absorption, sc no wonder they know bow to spel. sheir universal afliction."
