mend his reckless ways.
But youth is youth and loneliness
a bore and toward afternoon Royce
got tired of reading and strolling in
the garden and Iounging about.

he remarked to the old servant.

Oh, I've put my foot in it! I thought

"a mystery herep soliIoquized
Royce, and then forgot all about it
when he reached the village billiard
room, met some old village chums,
went to a travelling show that hap
pened to be in town and started for
home at nearly midnight.
A night key had been trustfully left
on his dresser by his cOnfiding aunt
and Royce counted on getting to his
room quietly. When he came to
search for it, however, he found that
he had lost it somewhere from his
pocket. He recalled old boyish days
and a certain low window at the rear
of the house. Royce started around
the wing. Then he halted in sheer
amazement. He had never known
it's upper room to be occupied. 1t had
been kept always locked up. 1t was
occupied now. A shade at an open
window was fiuttering in the strong
night breeze and he could see plainly
into the lighted room beyond.
: A remarkable picture met his per-
picked vision. His aunt sat in the
center of the room. She was arrayed
in the garb of bride. Veil, wreath,
dress, filmy, almost eerie-like, she
was CARRIED as if for a wedding cere-

set sad eyes, her whole pose one Of
expectancy, as though each moment
she anticipated the arrival of her
bridesmaids. Then the curtain flap
ped close and the strange startling
picture was shut from view. Royce
rubbed his eyes, he maTveled. He
reached his room by the old surrep-
titious route. Then he lay awake,
cropping vainly in his mind for key
to this uncanny mystery.
His aunt greeted him at the table
next morning, her old gracious, kind
~ self. She was still a beautiful wom-
an, under forty, and not a trace of
her fact that she had been keeping
a weary vigil that surely commemor-
ated some vivid event in the long
gone past.
And for the first time that after
noon Royce learned o fthe romance
in the life of his aunt Ten years
ago she had been engaged to a man
named Role Gregory The marriage

She was all ready for the ceremony

to the end of life, but great barrier
had been raised against all future
happiness.
And Aunt Marcia still loved her re-
creant lover, thus Royce reasoned,
else why this annual vigil, remindful
of the expectedly most happy mo-
ment of her life? Royce began an
investigation. He located RoIfe Gre

Marcia had given him to ferreting

Driven from the mountainous por-

Old English Street Names.

Old street names in London often
assumed strange forms through pop
ular corruptions. Gutter lane, for in
stance, was named after its owner,
who happened to be one Guthurun. A
fragrant example was Hangman's
Gains, by the Tower, "a strange cor.
ruption," as Strype tells US, for
Hammes and Guynes, where the poor
tradespeople of Hammes and Guynes
were allotted to dwell after Calais and
those places were taken from the Eng
lish." Many years ago, in Pentonville,
there was a Dobbin's place, and that
homely Dobhn's was but D'Aubigny
upon English tongues.
In some cases it is possible to trans
form an ugly road name into some,
thing quite pleasant, and even roman.
tic, without much difficulty. There is
the steep road which runs up from
Parliament Hill Fields to Highgate. It
used to be known as Swine's lane, &C.
cording to local antiquarians. Now.
adays the Cockney may pronounce it
much as before when he takes his
ticket on the tram from Holborn. But
the spelling is different-Swain's Lane.

BEST KIND OF WIRE FENCING
Much Depends on Purpose for Which
Fence Is Intended-General-Pur-
pose Fabric Favored.

The best kind Of wire fencing to
erect depends on the purpose for
which the fence is used. On a farm
where mixed types Of live stock are
kept a general-purpose woven-wire
fabric is needed. If only cattle and
horses are to be pastured, a coarser
and less expensive W fence can be
used. When fencing is needed to in
close extensive pastures where only
cattle or horses are to be kept the
excessive cost of a woven-wire fence
would not make its use desirable, for
losses of stock by injury on barbed
wire would not be large enough to
counterbalance the difference in the
cost of maintaining the two different
kinds Of fences.

SAVE ALL FERTILIZER
Concrete Pits Advocated for
Storage of Manure.
Enormous Amount of Waste in Fertii-
ity Prevented-Clear Dimensions Of
Convenient Pit and Directions
for Building.

The use of concrete on the farm is
long past the experimental stage. 1t
is a necessity. The first cost of con-
crete is higher than for structures
built Of wood, but concrete is much
cheaper in the long run.
For, maintaining or restoring the
fertility Of the fields, there is nothing
better than barnyard manure By
the ordinary methods Of piling manure
ION the ground or storing it in wooden
ipens or boxes, 80 to so per cent of its
fertility is lost. This loss is brought
about in two ways: First, by teaching
Tor washing due to heavy rains; Sec
lond, by fermentation or heating caused
t,by lack Of sufficient moisture. Since
concrete pits are waterproof. manure
may be kept in them as moist as may
be necessary and such an enormous
waste in the fertility of the manure
may thus be entirely prevented. One
load Of manure from a concrete pit
is worth 1k to 2 loads Of manure as
usually stored. Moreover, with con-
crete pits the supply of manure is in
creased by all the liquid manure, the
richest part, from the barn cutters and
feeding floors.
Shallow manure pits do very well
where the manure ear be frequently
hauled to the fields. The walls and
door should be five inches thick. The
clear dimensions of a convenient pit
are: Depth, 8 feet; width, s feet;
length, u feet. Dig the trench 8 feet

HOSPITAL IN HISTORY
INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN
KNOWN FROM EARLY TIMES.
Before the Christian Era the Care OF
the Afflicted Was Considered a
Public Duty - Philadelphia
Had First in America.

The first hospital established IN
America was opened in Philadelphia
on February 7, 1850. For nearly two
years Benjamin Franklin and other
influential men were working for the
establishment of such an institution.
A charter was granted in May, 1lol'
and the first board Of trustees was
elected the July following.
The Cay of the opening a number OF
patients were admitted who were reg
ularly attended and given their medi-
cine free. Joshua Crosby was the first
president and Benjamin Franklin the
first clerk.
The second hospital established was
in New York in It'll. From these ear
ly beginnings there has now grown up
in the United States a veritable forest
Of hospitals. Every city, town and
village has its duly appointed institu-
tious of this character, and the hos
pitfalls Of the United States are now
acknowledged the most handsomely
and thoroughly equipped in the world,
and serve as models for European ar
chitects.
Hospitals were founded in very ear
Iy times. India, Persia and Arabia
had hospitals supported by their kings
and rulers before the Christian
era AS far back IS the earliest Pc
Rod in Greek history the sick are
said to have been treated in the Tenn
pie Of Aesculapius at E%pidaurus.
In the early Jewish period a house
for the reception Of the sick was
called Beth Holem. Such an institu-
ton was Beth Saida, mentioned IN
the New Testament
Military hospitals are Of compare
lively recent origin, born of the needs
Of warfare and the advance of medi"
cal science and hygiene. In the Cri.
mean war Of 1854 the French alone Of
the allied powers possessed anything
approaching the equipment now COM
mon to all armies
The English wounded were carried
of the field In rough-and-ready fash.
ion, sailors hammocks being ultimate
ly utilized as Il rude substitute for the
French stretcher and ambulance.
Surgeons attended the wounded on
the field, for whom there were little or
no after accommodations, until,
spurred by the publication Of Florence
Nightingale's description Of condi-
lions, the English government appoint
ed Lord Merbert's commission, which
resulted in more effective hospital
service.
The hospital ship was established in
the early sixties, and shortly after
ward the United States hospital corps
was organized. The army nurse corps
which is an auxiliary branch Of the
medical department, was established
in accordance with an army bill passed
as recently as February 2, 1901.
Hospital Sunday is observed in the
United States on the last Sunday in
December, and in England the Sunday
nearest June Is, on which days the
collections in churches are devoted
to the support Of hospitals. The Gus.
tom has been generally adopted since
1878.
