Century Old Illospltals Conducted on a'
_Plan Strange. to Foreign
Observers.
Andrew Carnegie's recent gift cf
$500,000 to the hospitals of London has
«nue'fie a veritable godsend to those
vast nut needy institutions, Which are
the biggest and per -haps also tie most
remarkable or their kind In the world.

pe•rted by voluntary contributions" and
r: ere it not for the" donatri-
ve persons a • : general .public, whose
pennies even are -acceptable, these in-
stitutions, would have to close up.
It 13 owing.. to the, tact that,"the peo-
ple" run the great London hospital:s
that the latter are operated -on what
must .be regarded its rather, astonishing
lines. In the first place no one but a
genuinely poor patient is -supposed to
have access to any-. hospital in the me-
tropolis, - Of 'course, this rule is not
14dhered to rigidly, • but exceptions to
it are comparalivefy rare, and are made
only after elaborate explanations, The
hospitals, in fact, are regarded as
strictly' charitable -institutions,-and it
is for this reason that they are able
to boast among their attending physi-
cians some of the greatest practition-
-ere-medical and surgical -in the world.

practice -would involve thousands• et
dollars are performed dailyin many
London •hospitals by physician's who
the A r.ever charge ,less than 8500 as a pri-
vate consultation fees It is owing eo
the fact that England's fnest doctors_
andsurgeons • attend these hospitals

poor have to be safeguarded. In order
to do this most of 'the hospitals' lime
adopted the system of requiring letters

ment that is ti,:ely to, involve serious
consequences. Of course, those whose

As a general rule outside of every

INDUCEMENTS TO DONORS.
In order to encourage the general
ptrbl a lo••take an interest in the- hospi-
tals, various sums are mentioned on
ire donation lists evhich entitle givers•
to certnin prtvilage. For inst.an.ce,
eeement of 815,000 to a i.ondon hospi
lel till: giver is, as -a rule, entitled to
have a ward named after him; while a
dcnat.loh of $5;000 entitles orie to en=
dow a cot. Even payment of 825 al-
lcws the donor to name three or four
,patients for treatment at the particu-
lar hospital to which the money has
been contributed. The sum of 8150 in-
cludes the privilege of being a life gov-
ernor to a hospital, to attend annual
,meetings, and to recommend twenty -
lour out-p&dents .and ...dne inpatient a
year. •
•By this elaborate -system eif donation
the London- hospitals are kept going
from year le year. Once every year
two days• are, set apart when the whole
of London is supposed to contribute
sensething towards' the care of the sick.
These • days 'are• Hospital Sunday and
Hospital Saturday. All the churches
en the first named day give the nrajor
perdions of their collections to the hos-
pitals; . and on hospital Saturday col-
lections the made in the streets. Even
the pennies of the multitude are eager-
ly accepted. On Hospital Sunday and
Saturday in 'London the public gives
:generously to the. fund that goes to.
help the suffering poor. Upwards cf
8250,000 has: been collected in one year
in this manner.
AIDED 'BY ROYAL FUN. -
Arrether great source of in -come to
thc: London •hospitals, and which also
•ct.me under the head of "voluntary con-
tributions," are the surne raised by
what is' Moven • as King Edw•iied's hos-
pital fund for London. It is to this
fund that Carnegie has just -given his
0500,000. •Last year the total income
el this fiend was $5M,775.
This fund. tvas founded by King Ed -
nerd ten years ago, and is one of his
majesty's most creditable hobbies.
Every member of the Royal 'family' is
supposed to. contribute something to
tbie fund, even down to the little prin-
ces and. princesses. Of royal subscrib-
ers, King Edward -gives annually 85.5;
Queen .Alexandra, 8125e the prince 'et
.Se 81.500;Princess .Victoria, 025;
t ilte Prince Edward, $5.25; whileMee
Prince Albert, Princess Victoria c f
- - Prince- Henry and -Prince
'George each, gives $5.25: The -total
royal donations amount to about $2.-
t775. OteCourse,'it might have been a
trifle more, considering 'that the royal
family of England draws.froin .the Brit-
ish people ever year. about 82.500.000,
taut as She King and _the. Prime .o1 Wales
give their personal service to the fund.
the generosity of nhe subscription it-
self should .not, .perhaps,.be giiestioned:
One of the largestsources of wealth
of the London hospitals are bequests
by will. Recently Mrs. Lewis• Hill, - wile
of.the famous London Pawnbroker, died
and Left 81.250,000 to the:fund; Alfred

tributed 8450,000 to King Edward's fund.
In his will he' left to the hospital fund
a large slim ,ot money which he had
his splendid house in Pary Lane.
DONATIONS BUY HONORS.
`To be mentioned as a - heavy stibscri-
ter ko-the King Edward .fund, is consid=
reed a great honer. in England. ' The
fund undergoes the personal supervis-
ion of the • •k'ng and ,the prince cf

tin temptation to seek personal adver-
tisement by appearing in Riese ,gilt:
caged ;.lists, cone donors' are silllici-
cntly self-absiegating not to allow their
mines. to be mentioned. Recently an
anonymous Contribution E'( $50,900 was
tont to the, King Edward .fund, and the
name of, the donor was known to none.
,connected with the administration of
the subscriptions. •
Considering the' eztrao dirtary man
-
her in which these funds are raised,- it
is quite a.. marvel that these great in-
stitutions should be able to keep going_
•'t. all.. It is from this fact that London
has come to be known as the most
charitable city on 'earth. • -
t;ving athe hospitals do on the
"voluntary contributions" of the multi-
tude, it is not •surprising to see greet
eners plastered across the lntildings ap-
Pealing• for ^immediate aid." Nearly
.0'l. the buildings bear permanently the
wends, "$uppcoted by volt unlary con-
tributions," and'. each hospital has en'
e;aLorate system of appealing, which
-is in charge of a• committee of .publi-
.i1y. Considering that money is nt-
T•nys "Urgently neided" by'euch of the
oreot• London hospitals, it is a wonder
That the public "does' not weiry of sub-
stribirig le funds which are practically
a,

treats every year 182,900 out patients

A
ART OF TRAINING ELEPUANTSt
Their Intelligence Far ExEeeda That of
-_ Any Other Animal.' •
On a number of points alt elephant`
trainers agree. These are:
First, that the tall, fat legged, email -
eyed elephant of big girth is not only
the handsomest but _also, the Host do- .•
cile and intelligent of his kind.
Secdnd,• that ' an elephant is fully•.
aware of his prodigious strength oom-
pared with man's and that the reason
an elephant obeys his master K not be-
cause he is afraid of him, but because
he has an affection for him.
Third,, you may beat d "bad" elephant
te death or kill him by ramming red-hot
-irons down his throat in an effort to
press the "squeal Or surrender" 'out of •
him, but the one and only weento train- .-
an elephant to perforin tricks is through
kindness' and patience unending.
Last, but not least, without exception,
the intelligence of the elephant far ex
ceeds that of any other animal..
EIephant• trainers maintain that train-
ing an elephant to perform is like teach-
4n- a- boy circus riding, only less diffi-
cult.
A -mintier of the"simpler tricks with
which an elephant entertains this audi-
.ence• come as natural to him -as the lap-
ping of milk coins` to -a. cat. For In-
stance, the blowink ;of the mouth 'har•

let and nanned by ten or a dozen- rnen.
When all is ready the trainer stands
in front of the animal, raises hie book
and "Down! downi"- he orders. The ele-
phant pays no attention. He stands
"weaving" his trunk and swaying -his
t ody from side. to side_ . • :

again, and upon, a signal some forty

At the beginning of this year one out

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Highway Cotximissionei of
Massachusetts has made an ex-
' ample of one. persistent offender
against the law in that State for
the regulation, - of automobiles.
The Commission has revoked the
the offender's license, and cancel-
ed the registration of his car.
Thus the car is put out of busi-
• ness , and the owner is denied the
privilege of driving his own _ or
any other auto. This is the sort
of penalty which is felt. That is
one of the forms of punishment
which should be imposed, in cases
calling for exceptinal treatment,
in Ontario. -

Ever' mother postdates information
which is of vital interest to her young
daughter.
Too often this is never impatited or is
withheld until serious harm, has resulted
to the growing girl through her ignorance
of nature's mysterious and wonderful
laws and penalties.
Girls' over-senmitiveneea and modesty
often puzzle their mothers and baffle
phyeigiana, as they so often withhold
their confidence from their mothers and
conceal the symptoms which ought to be
told to their physician at this critical
period.

gish, with headache. dizziness- or a dis-
position to Bleep, Paine in the back or

ham's Vegetable Compound will at this
time prepare the system for the coming
change, and start this trying period in
a young girl's life without pain or irreg-
ularities. •
Hundreds of 'letters from young girls
and from mothers. expreesing their
gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound has accomplisl:ed
for them, hare been received by the
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at

Miss Mills has written the two follo-r-
lag letters to Mrs- Pinkham, R hich will
be read with interest.: _ .

pressed, have dizzy spells, chills, headache
and backache, and as I have beard that rod

am writing you."-rMyrtle Mills, 0quawkat
Dear Mrs. Pinkham (Second letter,)
"It is with the feeling of utmost gratitude
that I write to you to tell you wt your
valuable medicine has done•for me. When
I wrote you in regard to my condition I had
consulted several doctors but they failed to
understand my case and I did not receive
any benefit•from their treatment I follow-
ed your advice, and took Lydia E. Pink -
ham's Vegetable Compound and am now
healthy and well, and all the distressing
symptoms which I had at that time have
disappeared."—Myrtle Mills, Oquawka, I1L
Mise Matilda Borman writes Mrs.
Pinkham as follows `
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— - •
Before taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Ve.
getable Compound my periods were irreg
uar and painful, and I always had each
dreadful headaches.
But since taking the Compound my
headaches have entirely left me, my periods
are regular and I am getting strong and well
I am telling all my girl friends what Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable, Compound has
done' for me."-'Slatilda Berman, rming-
ton, Iowa. :
If you know of any. young girt who
is sicli and needs motherly advice, ask
her t� address Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Masa., and tell her every detail. .of her
symptoms, • and to keep nothing back.
She will reeeire advice absolutely free,'
from a.source that has no rival in .the
experience of woman's ills, and it will, if
followed, put her on the -right road to a

KU investigations could not go, and he
continued his search for the photogeaphs
which he felt sure existed, and wbfch he
hoped would tell him something of the
o•.vner and his friends.
Neither the bed -room n6r the drawing -
room gave him any, results, though he
searched everywhere with care. He was
about to conclude that a large sate,
which he•thid seen In the corner of the
bed -room, and which he assured him-
self was locked, contained what he
soughin when he discovered that there
was a drawer Left which he had not ex-
amined, in a small table In thes ruck-
ing -room. He had not noticed it at first
as a cloth covered the knobs in front, but
as soon as he opened it, he congratu-
lated himselintipon his penetration for
the receptacle was •crammed with photo-
graphs. • '
• They had evidently been. taken down
from thein positions and shoved hastily
away pelt-rnelle, for some of their
corners were doubled up, and here and
there the frames were rnarkd with
Scratches, assuredly recent. .
Gordon looked them quickly through,
only to- give -a sigh -at . the result. Ac-
tresses, • ballet -dancers, ' professional
beauties, ladies of dubious quality. there
were plenty ol,these, with here -and there
a picture which might have been. that
of some member of the -owner's family,
but Gordon knew- none of them, none
of them were written on, and of their
former possessor they told nothing.
"That. fellow -Carlton, . I suppose he
was—was handsome. tech, and evident-
ly a bachelor. Thai accounts for the.
photographs. I -- suppose," .Gordon
thought. "Evidently a .pretty rapid
character.. But why were -they all put
away'." And then he thought of the girl
he had found there. Was'it because of
her? Had the- deud pian been awaiting
her that' nigh.t,- and had these.- dumb
evidences of former loves, of former fan-
cies. been smuggled hastily away lest
they -should offend her eyes' And -what
was she Lo hiin?h Gordon sighed as he.
pandered: Innocent of the murder, per-
haps:-bue-what was she doing•in these
rooms at that hour? -
A sentiment of jealousy, which he felt

-on , which was still leading him on, in
a road whose end he could not see, but

feared -him, perhaps -cringed- to him" if
obese mastered, hated easily. - .
His features were regular and rather
heavily formed: his hair was black and
parted In the ntidde —a thing Gordon felt
he had always disliked—his skin was
very white, not precisely pale, but as if
it had never -been anything else but
white; his jaw was strong, and his
mouth sneering. and. savage. As. he
stcod there biting his Angers he seemed
to remind Gordon of nothing so much as
the black panther at the Zoo. There was
the same savage curl at the corners' of
the mouth; the same strong. jaw and
green eyes with yellow lights in their
depths; there was the same seise • of.
sinewy strength; the sane . instinctive
feeling of a necessity fer being upon
one's guard, for constant .watchfulness.
involuntarily he fo'md himself mea-
suring his strength, ,in his mind, with
this man, and calculating the, result of
the first spring and grapple.
Yet the man had never looked in his
direction—could not have seen him had
be done so. He stood there still biting
his fingers; and giving an occasional
doubtful glance into the corners--otihe
racm; and Gordon, with the quick ob-
servation which • was his, . seemed • -to
read at least something of. his thoughts.
He had taken no notice of the corpse
upon the floor, therefore he had known
that it was there. It was not for that
that he had come, yet his first anxious
glance around the room, his perplexity,
told that he had expected to find some-
thing or someone 'in the room, and had
been disappointed, puzzled. anxious.- 1t
was the girl he was looking for !
Suddenly - ho started. looked at the
Lindy at his fret, and then commenced
to search furiously upon the floor, lift-
ing ther ugs, flinging the cushions from.
the chairs, and even shaking the cur-
tains in his task: - •- - •
"I know what you are after now, my
man." thought Gordon." ',You are loot-
ing ter the knife, your knife? By --Jove,

The man ceased to search .with a ges-
lure of impotent rage; and, for a mo -
Ment his Angers went, to his mouth
again. Then apparently arrlving at a.
cc;rreluston, be nodded. and turned to
tale door. Gordon drew back 'further in-
to the shadow, and the man passed the
smoking _room again, and closing the
front door 'after him, went out.
"My business here is done." thought
George. "I have a fee& to fellow that

The steps drew nearer, "growing

REGULATING THE HOG SUPPLY.
.1 note the statement In your late is -

.n 1'a•rining World. I cannot explain
thee in vlew of the high prices prevail-

summer, except it be that farmers, not .
fearing _either. a . decline in prices or
d'scr,uninteron against overweights:
t,ekl their hogs as long as it seemed
profitable •to feed them. Or it ruay bo ,
the price on Light. hogs had •tfe effect'

it in theR•ight way. but I do r.ot alto-) -
gt4her like -the harsh means suggested
in your letter above teferi•ed to, be-
coming the rule. Such discrimination.
might be all tight occasionally when- •
other means fail: But since we are all

The discussions - of two ' years ago•
which at one lime threatened to seri •
-

seem to have resulted in bringing- about -
a better iunderstanding, between hoer
raiser and packer. • Both understand

And irnpre;e, it ncceasery, the fact, that `,.

they will have. to be discriminated..
