Slept on the Job.

They tell the following story of a
New York physician, who as an in
terne in a Chicago hospital some
years ago incidentally held his own
with a crowd of rather gay friends.
One morning the inferno awoke to
find that he had sadly oversight. Half
dazed, he put on his clothes, and
made his way to the hospital. The
first patient was a big Irishman.
What seems to be the trouble?''
asked the sleepy inferno, as he stifled
a yawn and took his patient by the
hand to get his pulse.
Its me lungs, doc said the man
They're in a bad way. l cant get
me breath at all
"Your pulse is normal, but let me
examine the lung action moment,
replied the doctor, kneeling beside
the cot. "Now talk a Bit he con-
tinued, closing his eyes and listen
ing attentively for sounds of pulmo-
nary congestion.
What shall l say?'
"Oh, anything. Count one, two
three, and so on," murmured the in
terne, drowsily.
IVAN, two, three, four, five, six, y
began the patient.
When the inferno, with start,
opened his eyes, the Celt was count
ing huskily, nine hundred and sixty
nine, nine hundred and seventy, nine
hundred and seventy-wan."

Definition of Memory.

The dangers of premature peace
were put very graphically by Lord
Rosebery the other day when he said
that such peace would mean short
peace and a war that would be even
worse than this to follow
Lord Rosebery is noted for his
smart repartee. Some time ago he
was talking to a friend on the sub
ject of memory.
what is memory?" asked his
friend.
"Memory," answered his lordship,
thoughtfully, lis the feeling that
steals over us when we listen to our
friends original stories"

If the experiments of the Rockefel-
Ter institute scientists on cancer cure
are confirmed by time, it willebe a
splendid triumph for modern medi-
cine. These experiments tend to show
that the leucocytes, or so-called white
blood cells, have the power, when
enormously increased in number, Of
making one immune to cancer. And
the Rockefeller institute men have
found a way to double the average
number of such cells in the system.
Of course, this may be followed by
some consequent i'll. For one can
hardly believe that doubling of these
white lymph cells can be brought about
without some after effect. The white
lymph cells have an apparent indi-
viduality of their own. They wander
through the arteries and veins, and
even through the tissues, seeking
their prey, which is all those germs
that may be hurtful to the body. They
are the guardians of the blood and eel
lular tissue. If the new method cures
cancer, it will have proved that this
disease is actually caused by a germ
something denied by many scientists,
because the microscope has so far
failed to locate the germ.

Reflected Llnht in Movies.

Discussing the question of eye strain
in relation to motion pictures, the
Medical Times notes that the rays
from the projection machine are re-
fected from the screen directly into
the eyes Of the spectators.
This annoyance might be eliminated
If the rays were thrown along a hori-
zontal plane so that the reflected light
would pass over the heads of the audi
ence. In this case, however, the po-
sition of tho machine structure would
be illegal, under most city ordinances.
Would it be possible" asks the
Times, ito locate the projecting ma
chine in the Basement at a central
point to the rear of the audience, and
have an open avenue in the floor
through which the pictures could be
projected to the screen on an ascend
ing plane Of sufficient degree to reflect
the rays above the visual line of the
audience, and thus remove a most ir-
ritating feature of an otherwise pleas
ing and interesting diVersion?"

"I want you to meet George Lewis, /"
said my friend. "He is one of those
fellows who, when he knows he is
right, can't be turned or influenced"
"I should be delighted to meet him, "

reputation and he stands high in his
community as man of the strictest
integrity; but, John, I don't think you
have given him very good character. +"

frequently wrong, and the minority is
often right, and vice versa"
Then, how are we to decide upon
what is right and what is wrong?"
If our intention is to do right, and
we are constantly fighting temptation,
our actions will usually be what they
should be; but when we allow our own
individual judgment to prevail exclu-
sively, we may be wrong, even though
we intend to be right Alone we are
not able to take care of ourselves; far
less able than is the animal, who is
guided by instinct, not by conscience.
If man reasons by himself alone, he
is as likely to be wrong as right. If
he combines what he knows with what

opinion to assist in guiding him, he is
not likely to make serious mistakes" :"

MANLY GIRLS.

F'eminism is not the name for the
extreme projections of the move
ment, such as that for which Emily
James Putnam, associate professor,
of history at Barnard college, is
spokeswoman. Professor Putnam was
eheered when she told Vassar college
girls that she believed that they
should have a part in dangerous
sports and should learn to carry and
use firearms. From the viewpoint of
consistent individualism, no one can
object to girls indulging in violent
games and pastimes, says Detroit
News. If any Vassar graduate de
sires to tote a rife all day through
the snowy swamps after deer, she will
be accorded respect and publicity; if
any modern mother yearns to par
ticipate in football scrimmage with
her sons, the spirit of the day will see
to it that she is not transported to
an asylum in consequence. For by
stander to hint that Woman's place,
while it may be in the voting booth
is not in the duck-blind during No
vember blizzard, nor handling the hal
yards on a cruising yacht in gale,
would be dangerous. While he know
there are women who can qualify in
such capacities, as there are men
skilled in fancy work and knitting,
there remains biological hunch that
the ladies' are more gracefully engaged
in the fine arts, in casting the ballot,
rocking the cradle or driving motor
cars,

is the mother of innovations. 1t is
