FOR 4 HOSPITAL.

NOW Ildl IIle llISI SISD III IilG
establishment Of a hospital has
been taken and committee
has been appointed to devise
ways and means therefor, it is
important, even necessary, that
our citizens generally cooper
ate in this movement. All of
us have long felt the need of
such an institution. Our sick
ones have too frequently been
inccnvenienced and in some
cases have risked their lives be-
cause in order to receive the
hospital treatment it was nee
essary for them to make a
journey to another city or an
other state. Frequently the
patient is physically unequal
to the discomforts of such a
trip. The strength needed for
the ordeal of an operation per-
haps, is wasted in the tedium
of travel when it should be
carefully conserved. In case of
sudden illness or accident when
hospital appliances are needed
at once, the lives of our people
are subjected to danger because
we have no hospital facilities at
hand.
We need not dwell here or
the material side of the ques
tion although many of us real
ize how Lancaster money
amounting to thousands of dol
lars has gone elsewhere fo
hospital expenses, whereas
local infirmary would have KEEP
much of this money at home.

One Sabbath morn. as he was pro-

Pearl Fishers.

1t is a well-known fact that pearl
fishers and divers do not live long.
They often have 70 dive for 100 feet
or more without'ahy special outfit, and
the strain wears them out before their
lives are really halls over. From a
depth of 100 feet pearl diver usually
brings up two oyster shells at time.
1t is exciting work. The diver never
knows whether he has brought to the
surface a shell inclosing a priceless
gem or not. The Malay pearl divers
are, perhaps, the finest in the world.
When he is going to dive. the Malay
slowly lowers himself down from The
side of the boat to the water and takes
several breaths, each breath getting
deeper and deeper. Finally, he takes a
tremendously long breath, turns head
downward, and pluhges into the ocean
depths. In two. three or perhaps four,
