MUCH LIKE THE PRESENT DAY
WaIpoIe Complained Many Years Ago
That Rulers Abrogated Law
Of Nations.

In a letter to Hon. Henry Seymour
Conway, from Strawberry Hill, Of
July 8, 1888, Horace Walpole made a
number of observations in regard to
the European situation of that day
which are amazingly, curiously Apo
site to the existing situation.
THE invasion of Portugal by Spain
in the last war, and the partition of
Poland, have abrogated the law of
nations" writes Walpole. Kings have
left no ties between one another.
He is a good king that pre-.
serves his people; and If temporizing
answers that end, is It not justifiable
"Dr. Joseph (the emperor of Aus
trial and DR.. Frederick frederick
the Great Of Prussia) with 400, 900
commentators are reading new lee
tures-and I should say, thank God,
to one another, II the 100000 COM
mentators were not in worse danger
than they. Louis XIV is grown a
casuist compared with those parti,
TONERS.
We'll, let us simple individuals keep
our honesty, and bless our stars that
we have not armies at our command,
lest we should divide Kingdoms that
are at our bienseance! What dread.
full thing 1t is for such a wicked lit.
tie imp as a man to have absolute
power!"

LESS HOSTILE TO FOREIGNERS
Lives Of European Explorers in Tibet
Comparatively safs--Werk 10
Going On.

Tibet continues to hold its special
fascination for explorers, and 1t is
therefore interesting to learn from
the experiences Of Captains Bailey
and Moreshead, who recently cleared
up the long-standing mystery concern
ing the connection between the Tsang-
20 and Brahmaputra rivers. that a
noticeable change has come about in
the attitude of the Tibetans toward
foreigners. These explorers encoun-
tered no signs Of hostility or distrust,
except when they we're mistaken for
Chinese, who appear to be held In
great dread. No objections were made
to the surveying operations, and Capt.
Morshead asserts that ut IL now pos
sible to traverse the country from end
to end, openly, with plane-table and
theodolite, and without even the for
mality of a pass from Lhasa." APP
parently the Tibetans have learned
that the British are their best pro-
tectors from Chinese aggression. Apro-
pos Of the gpo-Brahmaputra, the
current number OF Petermann's Nit
teilungen announces that the Austrian
explorer, A. X. GebaueF, who IL now
travelling north from Burma along the
Chinese Tibetan border, intends ulti-
mately to strike west TO the Tsangpo
and follow this river through the
passes Of the MISUNDERSTANDING
American.

COLOR IN OPERATING ROOMS
Leading San Francisco Hospital Has
Done Away With the All-Whlte
Idea So Long Popular.

St. Luke's hospital, San Francisco.
has abolished the all-white operating
room aud Its surgeons and nurses wear
dark clothes instead of white. The
reason for this is two-fold: First, the
psychological effect upon patients,
many Of whom said they were
frightened by the glare Of the white
room, and, second, the effect upon the
surgeon. This is expressed by DR.. H.
H. Sherman In the following words:
The discomforts I have had In the
present-day white operating rooms led
me to suggest that we have dark floors
and wainscots in these rooms, so that
the operator who looks up from a
wound shall not encounter a glare OF
light and find his eyes useless for a
moment as he looks back into the
wound. The color scheme, II seemed
to me. should start from the red Of
the blood and of the tissues, and there
fore advised that green, the COM
Elementary color to red, should be
chosen as the color OF the floor and
wainscot. The particular shade Of
green TO be selected waa that which
was Complementary to hemoglobin,
and this was found 30 he spinach
green"

War Wounds.

Doctor osler, the enemy of old men
as he was once classified. says that
the carnage from the present war is
not so great as it seems. With 800
wounded men in the hospital at Ok
ford, only one death occurred, and that
from lockjaw.. The doctor thinks that
this war will establish a new record
for low rate Of mortality from wounds.
He attributes this to the antiseptic
effects Of high-speed bullets and to the
efficiency of the field hospitals. He
says also that he has seen no wounds
caused by dumdum bullets. Field sur.
geons have said the same thing.

LIQUOR REACHED THE SPOT
Error Made by Assistant Need Not
Have Worried the Dispenser
Of Drugs.

Wallace Irwin is fond Of telling .
arm about a Scotch sheep herder who
touched into a western town which
lad recently gone for prohibition. He
inferred a drug store and, as was Gus
tomary, made a signal on the soda
counter. Now, the proprietor was cut
so the assistant, a young lad, under
standing the Indian sign, took a bot
tie from a shelf and helped the GUS
toner to half gobletful Of brown
liquid. The Scotchman smacked his
lips, paid his score and went his stolid
way.
Shortly afterward the proprietor
came back and said to his assistant;
ANY business?"
"Scotchman came and tapped the
you-know on the counter" replied the
boy, 80 l gave him some" He point
ed to the bottle Of brown liquid stand
ing alone on the shelf.
Great heavens, child" shrieked the
proprietor, that amt whisky. That's
sulphuric acid!"
Tableau.
For two weeks the druggist lived
the life of a hunted man. He dis
charged his helper, made his will,
contemplated suicide and spent real
money advertising for the widow Of
the unfortunate customer whom his
carelessness had sent to an agonizing
death. Just as he was about to sur
render to despair he was suddenly re-
lieved by beholding the same Scotch
sheep herder, healthy and matter-of-
fact, shuttle into his drug store, step
to the counter, beckon mysteriously,
and whisper:
"Losh, laddie. Ye maun gle me a
wee nipple. And mind We pour 1t out
o. the same bottle. It's q wee bit
strong. but Ii puts heart in a mon!"
