deed there can be any real financial profit TO,
the institution. In the wards from the very
start any patient receives the equivalent OF
fifty per cent more in service and money cost
than the amount he pays in.
Some people have the most unreasonable
and unreasoning prejudice against hospital
some fool-people help along that prejudice BY
uttering false views concerning the "fatal
cases. in hospital Why shouldn't there be
fatal cases? A general hospital receives all
cases presented, even when it is known the
patient can not recover; and the hospital staff
will do its utmost to afford ply sical relief and
comfort during the final illness. The general
hospital does not discriminate and select only
the patients that tie cured. To cure if
possible-to relieve pain where cure can not
be effected.is the magnificent aim of general
hospital; thus those fatal cases" which the
unthinking and prejudiced imagine are re-
proach, really emphasize the splendid and
praiseworthy aim and scope of the general
hospital.
Some people forget the fact that the period
arrives when no physician or nurse can cure
patient-"his time has come," cit is appointed
unto man once to die" In hospital not dis.
eliminating in its selection of patients, there
are sure to be many hopeless cases. To GEN.

cases, is to exhibit either ignorance or unrea-

Preserving Leaves.

In order to make preserved leayes
look their best, the leaves should be
gathered at the season of their great
est beauty and variety of tints. Sumac.
and the leaves of similar plants and
trees, are usually gathered early in
October. Maple, alder, oak, linden,
ETC., are then at their best. To pre-
serve the leaves, they should be thor
oughly dried as soon as possible. A
simple method is as follows: Spread
the leaves. and press in a suitable pan
with alternate layers of fine sifted
sand heated as hot as the hand can
bear. and set aside to cool. When the
sand has cooled the leaves may be re-
moved, smoothed under a hot iron,
dipped for a moment in clear French
spirit varnish, and allowed to dry in
the air. Melted paraffin and wax are
sometimes preferred to the varnish.

Prosperous Jamaicans.

A prosperous and law-abiding COM
munity Of 10000 Indians exists in
Jamaica. This is related in the an
nual report for last year Of the immi-
grafton department of that flourishing
island. The season was one Of the
worst droughts known in the island
for so years, but notwithstanding, q
large amount of money was deposited
in the banks in the names of the In
dams, who now own considerable
property in the island. Recruitment
from India was suspended during the
year owing to the war and those i'm
migrants who completed the period of
their indentures almost all elected
to remain on in the island, so there
was little coming and going. The re-
port states that sickness decreased
and that the standard of living I'M
proved owing to the healthy surround.

too. Isn't there any way of getting
out of it, dear?"
The lawyer shook his head. "The
will is properly executed and wit
messed" he answered. "Of course it
might be possible to claim that she
had been of unsound mind. But know
that in spite of her eccentricities she
was a woman of remarkable clarity Of
mind. And anyway, a lawsuit with
Old Jebediah what's-his-name would
be an expensive proceeding. No, my
dear, there isn't anything we can do
except turn the will over to Jebediah. !"
On the following morning Charley
set out for Greenville, accompanied
by Dorothy, who had pleaded to 60
with him.
Mr.. Jebediah Sturgeon was easily
located. He was, in fact, the chief
lawyer of the town, but when the Wis.
itors explained their presence ard
spoke of the Parrot association he
smiled with much amusement.
The late Miss Jerusha Shaw was a
remarkable woman" he said, as he
searched in tin box for some papers.
"One of the eccentricities was an ex-
treme aversion from lawyers l under
stand that you are Of our profession
he added, turning to Charley.

that account"

that l was the only lawyer for whom
she did have any use. Ours was very
old friendship, and her will, though
apparently drawn up without legal ad-
vice, was, in fact, drawn up by me. l
may say that Miss Shaw would have
placed as much confidence in me as
this statement denotes"
He drew a paper from the box, put
on his glasses. and began to peruse it.
Then he smiled genially.
The property was much smaller
than you expected to find. Mr.. En-
field? he asked.
She ought to have had about six
thousand dollars MORE" said Charley.

Useless Lost and Found ADO

An old man, well past sixty, entered
the publication offices of the Book and
Life, and asked to be directed to the
Lost and Found counter. At the proper
department, he requested the insertion
of the following liner adj:
LOST-About forty years ago-an oppor-
tunity. 1t is probably worthless now, but
| will reward the honest finder who brings
II to me, as l am curious to know what
1t might have done for me had not been
careless with it,
The clerk read the advertisement
and then looked pityingly at the old
man.
We'll insert your ad," he said, but
it is my duty to inform you that there
is hardly any use in putting it in. We
have no records of any lost opportu-
mites ever having been found"
The cid man thought for a few min
utes. Then he said:
We'll. insert 1t anyhow. People will
read 1t and start to thinking"
Then he went away.-Cleveland

to attend to what there was of the
poor little farm. There were times
when they just scraped along. as the
saying went. In addition to their
own deplorable condition, they had to
think and partly provide for Mrs. Cor
don's widowed sister. who lived a mile
over beyond the range. This was Mrs.
Ward. She had a daughter, Victoria,
but the latter had gone to the city to
become a great singer, and what Vic
toria earned as stenographer barely
paid for her board and expensive
music.
Milly was distant relative of the
Gordons, an orphan who had been
practically adopted by them when she
was child. Old Uncle Zeb declared
her as smart as whip and Aunt
Selma added that she was a girl with
a heart of gold. Certainly Milly ap-
peared clever and brilliant in CONVEX
sation, considering the little education
she had received. AS to kind heart
edness, she was everybody's friend.
When Victoria had gone to the city
to try her fortune, she had urged Milly
to go with her. For a moment Milly
was dazzled. Then she thought of the
old folks. They had done so much
for her! They were old and feeble.
She had become a systematic, econom-
ical young housekeeper and held
things we'll together 1t seemed base
desertion to leave them. Milly cried
one whole night. Then she took up
her burden, laughing her sweet way
along the path of duty, sometimes
dark, ever hopeful.
Milly proceeded with her baking.
She felt guilty at the extravaganza,
but she loved sweet and pretty things.

cookies to the heap Of biscuits. OF
both she made up a small package,
put it under her arm, and donned her
sunshade.
I'm going to run over to Aunt
Ward s. she announced.
IT'S a pretty hard climb over the
range for hot day like this" sug-
gested Mrs Gordon.
"Oh. l don't mind that" chirped
Milly, "and I've had rare luck with the
baking"
Just as Milly started to run across
the yard she paused in startled won

from side to side, was dog. The ami

been battered by rock landslide up

imploringly into the face of Milly.

and placed it before the animal who
drank thirstiIy. Then she tossed him
a cookie from her bundle which he
snapped greedily.

Explosives From Gas PIants.

British local authorities have been
notified by the war office that
owing to the demand for benzol and
toluol for the manufacture of explo-
sives it has been found necessary to
require gas undertakings throughout
the kingdom to extract these constit-
uents from their gas, thereby in some
cases affecting the Illuminating power
of the gas and it's calorific power.
1t is urged by the war office that
municipal councils should do every
thing in their power to prevent at
lacks on gas undertakings, owing to
possible deterioration of the gas sup
piled, and that this could best be done
by ceasing to test gas altogether, or
by preventing results of the test be-
ing made public.

Night and the Stars.

Some Of our boys at the front say
that they really never saw the stars
before. It must be great relief when
there is brief space of quiet to look
up at these silent sentinels. In the
cities we live too much indoors and
such living makes for pettiness of
spirit. Almost all of those who wrote
the Bible lived in fat rooted houses
and went up to the house tops when
the day was done so that the wheel
ing planets and the whole host of the
stars were their familiars. 1t was in
that light that they thought of man
and his destiny-M. A. B.

HER RICH PRINCE

the Gordon farmhouse, and Aunt Sell

What now, Milly?" she asked in her
gentle, pleasant way.
Pretty near the bottom of the
flour barrel, auntie!" replied Milly
gayly.

reproachful tone.

Milly in pretty penitence. only l got
