An Era Of Hospitals.
From the st. Louis Times.

FROM the 81. LDulS liLneS'
The news report OF an aged citizen OF
Philadelphia VINO Killed h;s wife. at her
request, because she lad been seriously
injured, and declared hat she hadn't
much faith in hospitals, contains the hope.
full reminder that the dread n mistrust
of hospitals, which used to be common
enough, is almost entirely a thing or the
past.
One Of the most tragic figures drawn by
Charles Dickens is that of the wretched
old woman in "Our Mutual Friend" who
refuses to permit a little child that has
been placed in her care to be taken to the
hospital, where 1t might have been re-
stored TO health, until II is too late Tor
the physicians to be of any help. But
dergone a wonderful change, and popular
sentiment has changed correspondence.
In almost the average case the doctors
first advice now is that the patient shall
recognized that all the medicines are less
potent to heal thar the b%enignant nat
ural forces which begin to exert them
selves as soon as the Invalid has been re-
moved from the turmoil OF a humble home,
with its bad ventilation, unsuitable food
and other ~unsanitary conditions.
The best medical skill can avail but lit
tie when 1t must combat these evils: while
very little medical skill Is enough in q
majority Of Eases, when the patient has
been removed to a place where the at
mosphere is conducive to rest, where air
and food are right, and where skilled
nurses are In attendance.
1t is not the least Of the evidences OF
the march of civilization that hospitals
are now among the most common of In
situations in the larger cities, and that
ailing people are beginning to regard
them more n more with longing when
the processes of vital waste have been
going on more rapidly han the processes
OF regeneration.

One Way to Help Yourself.

From the Woman's Home Companion. =
Charles e. Jefferson. pastor of Brad
way tabernacle In New York city.
writes an entertaining and helpful ar
ticle, entitled. The Uses of Biogra-
ply" in which he shows how a study
of the lives of the great is of practical
use to the individual. Following is an
extract:
Life everywhere has a tendency to
become monotonous and sordid. We
all fall into foolish ways of thinking
and unhealthy ways Of feeling n W.
need the healing touch of lofty souls.
Fortunately for us, such souls are al
ways within our reach. We may live
In a city or in a hamlet. or in an iso-
lated farmhouse among the mountains
or on the plain but no matter where
we are we can, when evening comes sit
down and commune with the immor-
tails. The homes of the upper 400 may
be closed to use. but we are al
ways at liberty to dine with the
kings and queens OF history. It is amaz-
Ing that so many men and women
throw away their opportunities to walk
and talk with the great. If 1t be true
that a man is known by h company
he keeps. then there is many a person
who has reason to be ashamed Of him
self. A book is nothing but a mar or
woman, and If one invites into his
home flaShy and trivial and vulgar
writers-the sc~apegraces and dabblers
OF literature--he indicates by his choice
the manner OF person he is. EVIL conn
pan doth corrupt good manners" as
Paul reminded the Corinthians long
ago, and 1T is impossible to associate
with men. either in the flesh or in
books, without being brought somewhat
nearer. this level. Many a man is to-
day pessimistic because he has read so.
many diseased and gloomy-hearted
authors, and many q woman carries an
unhappy heart because Of the. poison
injected by the books which she has
read. Life Is too short to read any but
the best books and there are no bet

career and interpret the character Of
great men,"

spent, and on the minor roads consid-
erably less. The minister Of public
works, too, is recommending that $780,
100000 additional be provided during
the next 10 or IL years for some btu
minous binder on 5000 miles Of national
highways, where 1t is greatly needed.
Turning now to England, where the
road surfaces are, on the whole, better
than those in France, it is found that
the average cost OF maintenance on the
1880 miles OF main roads in England
and Wales is $475 per mile per annum,
and hat on the 90, 1000 miles Of rural
roads in England the average cost OF
maintenance Is $115. 1t should not be
forgotten too, that wages are lower
there than here.
While these figures should not-and
in fact will not-discourage persistent
effort to improve highway systems
here. they may we'll be borne In mind

find entrance are Immediately washed
out by the flow of blood, and If no
others are admitted the cut surfaces

is the result to be hoped for, and the
aim Of proper treatment.
Knowing that the chief danger from
all minor wounds lies in the possibility
Of their infection by malignant germs,
we have the key to their proper treat

"The Department of Forests"
Nothing reveals more clearly the alb

invasion of the duchy in 1874. From
October, 1894, to June, 1875, Luxem-

inc, not brute strength, beat down the
gates. The revolutionists styled the
duchy their department of forests"
and proceeded to fleece and ~tyranniZe

rose against their tormentors in the
peasants war. With the utmost bar
barity it was crushed. But not before

Luxembourg was clear, standing as 1t

manize the state. The mines are large

laborers have had to be imported.

So many interesting reflections have
sprung from this Wonderful book that
