In q leading Philadelphia hospital last
year there were performed 1,soo surgical
operations. Only twelve Of the persons
operated upon died
Ny authority for these figures Il DR..
Morris Booth Miller. He assured me that
these operations Included many OF what
are termed the most dangerous major
cast We were taking about Sir Will
lam osleris remark that only one soldier
had died IN an English hospital out OF
100 wounded who had been treated there.
Modern, army rife wounds said DR..
MiIler. ARE not dangerous unless the
bullet happens to strike in a very limited
area OF the human frame. Il y even pos
sibie for a shot to so through some parts
Of the heart and not kin. These small
bullets not only make q clean wound
owing to the rapidity Of their flight but
they often partially cauterize the wound,
and 50 prevent Infection"
This able surgeon said that a soldier
might be shot through the lung without
doing him much damage. 'sAs for that
terror Of war half century ago known
as hospital gangrsne," said Dr. Miller,
surgeons Of today know nothing about
it"-Girard in Philadelphia Ledger.

NY father could never underetand

scnality. his early life. his pecuIiarities
and particularly about his fondness for
cigar ,aaid Gen. Fred d. Grant 70
me Just after be had been appointed
colonel Of the Fourteenth> New York
Regiment. With which he began his serv-
ice IN the Spanish war, IN lss&
Father appreciated fully. the Interest
and discussion which his campaign
caused and he had no fault TO md with
those who criticised his military opera
tiona He was fond Of talking about
some features OF his campaign 70 inti-
mate friends, especially after he return
ed to private life in B7. But II was
always observed that he never spoke Of
an, Of his associates IN the army or
any Of the otiieers upon the Confederate
side excepting In the kindest manner,
end even when he criticised them his
comments were Of q kind which could
have been heard by the person concern
ID without causing the slightest III feel
Ing.
@At the time when my father was
writing his recollectiona. sometimes
suggested 70 him that he put in some
little incident or anecdote. for felt
that the people would be Interested In
narrative OF that kind. Father, however.
always refused TO DO that unless the
anecdote served 70 Illustrate some fea-
ture Of q campaign.
Therefore I made It q point to col
lect as many of these as I could and to
lot down from time to time varlous
comments CT stories which ny father used
In familiar conversation. First OF all,
collected 4 large mass OF material which
father rejected when he was writing
his recollections. but because he felt
that Il was OF no value. but because he
was somewhat hurried, in writing the
as soon as possible. He wanted TO live
long enough TO complete the book.
Some day Ihope to collect and edit
this material, with a view TO publish
ing II as volume experimenting my
fathers book. Some OF the material
! have wouh throw important light upon
his lie in the army and also In the
Presidency.
Father would have been dumbfound-
ed II he could have known how many
copies Of his book were to be taken by
the American people. He did not think
much Of II as a narrative and did not
have the slightest idea that II would
have more than an ephemeral life.
Many OF the reviews Of the book
spoke OF the singuiRrly lucid, simple
and dignIned style Of writing which
It and there were some
critics who thought that a style OF that
kind could not be gained by a writer
until after long apd patient study.
But every one who knew my father
and who had opportunity toAtalk to him
recognized the style in which
the book was written as one that was
OF him in his ordinary !
He spoke informally and !
with friends exactly as he wrote that |
book. and I am certain that he had no |
Idea that the work would be accepted |

have often been amused to hear of some of the
precautions against uneleanliness taken by the rich
in travelling. One woman carries with her not only
drinidng water, but the water she uses in bathing
Sh carries also rubber bowl which is made to cover
the basin in her stateroom In this way she believes
she avoids eontamination.
This woman forgets that there may be contamina-
ton in her very solcitude for herself And what
can she think about the impurities in the air which
she must constantly breathe, not only in trains, but
in her everyday experiences in the world?
1t is possible to think so much about cleanliness
as to invite uncleanliness
The mental attitude can turn clean things into
clean.
Here we should bear in mind the belief of that
physician who declares there is such thing un-
cleanliness and eats sugar drawn from the human
body.
