CONTRIBUTE. $5.000,000 EVERY YEAR. 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. !-carton's hospitals are entlpeiy "sup- 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.

In order to do this most of 'the hospitals' lime adopted the system of requiring letters from .every patient who seeke any .trcat- ment that is ti,:ely to, involve serious consequences.

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.

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 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..

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.

Ha, ha! 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. .

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.

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 !
