HOSPITAL EN HISTORY (INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN I KNOWN FROM EARLY TIMES. Before the Christian Era the Care of ! the Afflicted Was Considered a i Public Duty - Philadelphia Had First in America. j The first hospital established In America was opened in Philadelphia on February 7, 1750. For nearly two years Benjamin Franklin and other Influential men were working for tr "establishment of such an institut' i. A charter was granted in May, l'?l, and the first board of trustees was elected the July following. The day of the opening a number of patients were admitted who were reg ularly attended and given their medi cine free. Joshua Crosby was the first president and Benjamin Franklin the first clerk. The second hospita established was in New York in 1771. From these ear ly beginnings there has now grown up in the United States a veritable forest of hospitals. Every city, town and Tillage has its duly appointed institu tions of this character, and the hos pitals of the United States are now acknowledged the most handsomely and thoroughly equipped in the world, and serve as models for European ar chitects. Hospitals were founded in very ear ly times. India, Persia and Arabia liad hospitals supported by their kings and rulers before the Christian era. As far back as the earliest pe riod in Greek history the sick are said to have been treated in the Tem ple of Aesculapius at Epidaurus. In the early Jewish period a house lor the reception of the sick was called Beth Holem. Such an institu tion was Beth Saida, mentioned in the New Testament. Military hospitals are of compara .?vely recent origin, born of the needs ci warfare and the advance of medi ?cal science and hygiene. In the Cri jmean war of 1854 the French alone of the allied powers possessed anything approaching the equipment now com mon to all armies. i. The English wounded were carried ?ff the field in rough-and-ready fash ion, sailors' hammocks being ultimate ly utilized as a rude substitute for the french stretcher and ambulance. ^Surgeons attended the wounded on ?tile field, for whom there were little or so after accommodations, until, ?purred by the publication of Florence Nightingale's description of condi tions, the English government appoint ed Lord Herbert's commission, which -TfBSuJted in more effective hospital ?par tico. i-sThe hospital ship was established In the early sixties, and shortly after ward the United States hospital corps mas organized. The army nurse corps which is an auxiliary branch of the ?medical department, was established tn accordance with an army bill passed 'ma recently as February 2, 1901. ! Hospital Sunday is observed in the United States on the last Sunday in ?December, and in England the Sunday jxearest June 15, on which days the collections in churches are devoted to the support of hospitals. The cus tom has been generally adopted since UTZ. ""^"^^?ld Ehglish street Names. ' Old street names in London often .?sumed strange forms through pop j?ar corruptions. Gutter lane, for In gtance. was named after its owner, who happened tn be one Guthurun. A -flagrant example was Hangman's Cains, by the Tower, "a strange cor ruption," as Stirpe tells us, "for Hammes and Guynes, where the poor tradespeople of Hammes and Guynes were allotted to dwell after Calais and tStose places were taken from the Eng lish." Many years ago, in Pentonville, t?tere was a Dobbin's place, and that lomely Dobbin's was but D'Aubigny upon English tongues. In some cases it is possible to trans form an ugly road name into Borne thing quite pleasant, and even roman tic, without much difficulty. There is ihe steep road which runs up from JEarliament Hill Fiejds to Highgate. It used to be known as Swine's lane, ac cording to local antiquarians. Now adays the Cockney may pronounce it gnnch as before when he takes his ticket on the tram from Holborn. But the spelling is different-Swain's Lane, -london Chronicle. Feed 3,000 Starving Elk. Driven from the mountainous por ttonfl of the Yellowstone National park Jsy the heavy snowfall, which pre vented their grazing, great numbers Ct wild animals, wards of the United states, are being fed by the govern ment park officials here until such time as the weather moderates suffi ciently to allow them to return to their native haunts. Three thousand elk, 2,000 deer and several hundred mountain sheep are idrawing a daily "ration" of hay at the deeding grounds a few miles from the park. Government officials believe no ?great loss of life among the animais ?as occurred. i More Profitable. "If an invading army landed in 3isw York I suppose the first thing they'd do would be to take possession cf all the banks." "Being poor, ignorant foreigners, Jthey probably would, but if they knew jwythinf they'd go after the hat jchecking privileges la the hotels and its." BUFFALO BURR IS INJURIOUS Grows Vigorously, Withstands Dry Weather and ls Covered With Spines on Stems. Buffalo burr is a native of western Kansas and Nebraska, where it is often found in alfalfa fields. The hay shipped from those states often con tains buffalo burr seed, and in this way it gets a start in feed lots. The plant looks like it might be one of the very worst pests, for it grows vigor ously, withstands dry weather splen didly, and is covered with spines both on the stems and on the burrs. The Buffalo Burr. blossoms look like yellow potato blos soms, and after they are gone a spiny burr forms. Buffalo burr looks more dangerous than it really is. It grows but one year, and spreads only by seed. Those o' our readers who find buffalo burr in their feed lots will do well to cut it off at the surface of the ground before it i goes to seed. It has not become com mon as yet in the corn belt, and the chances are that it will not. MEAT FOOD INCREASES EGGS On Most Farms There Is Plenty of Skim Milk and No Better Plan Than Feeding to Fowls. In the poultry feeding experiment made at the Purdue university it was found that the addition of some form of meat food to the ration increased 1 the egg production about 100 eggs pei pullet per year. This would mean about 10,000 eggs in a farmer's flock of 100 hens. The income per bird inj the pen fed no meat food was 67 cents. The pen fed skim milk gave an in come of $2.78, the highest in the ex peiimentj due to heavier winter egg production. . Poultry raisers have long been fa miliar with the schedule of "grains, greens, grits and grubs," but farmerE as a rule have paid too little attentior j to the "grubs" part of IL This expert j ment shows the importance of provid ing a substitute for the bugs and worms the fowls get during the sum mer season when they are permitted, to range. On most farms there iE j plenty of skim milk and no better use j can be made of it than to feed it tc j the chickens. Meat scrap and fist scrap can be purchased it skim milk is not available. BEES ARE FARMERC' FRIENDS Without Little Hcney-Gatherers Thers Would Be but Small Crop of In ferior Fruit Do not spray the fruit trees whBe in bloom, for that will kill the bees. Many farmers do this every year, when the bees are their best friends. If it were not for the bees rhey would get but little fruit, and that ol very inferior quality, and yet they will carelessly murder these little help ers by the thousands. Bees are valuable, and no man has a right to put out poison and kill them. It is no advantage to spray the trees when in bloom, and it is even better to wait until the petals fall and spray when there is nothing to prevent the poison going into the heart of the calyx before it closes. INSECT HARMS MANY PLANTS Cutworm Is One of First Pests to Ap pear-Injures Cauliflower, Cab bage and Other Crops. The cutworm is one of the first pests to appear, and kills cabbage, cauliflower, cucumbers, squashes, mel ons, corn, tomatoes, and peas. In case of plants that are transplant ed, wrap with a collar of Btiff paper be low ground and an Inch or more above the surface, and dig out the worm, which will be found Just below the surface near the cut plant Air-slaked lime may be spread over the surrounding soil. CARING FOR RASPBERRY TIPS They Should Be Dug Up and Replanted -Keep Patch Clear of Surplus Plante and Clumps. Dig up all the rooted raspberry tips and replant them where you want them, for they should not be allowed to grow in the original patch to make a thicket. Keep it clean of surplus plants and the old clumps will bear better and be much more pleasant to work around. Dewberries need the same care as raspberries in this respect, though the vines run to such lengths it is more ot a job to keep them In place. Candidates' Column FOR CONGRESS.
