Discussion o f medical ethics s i a rul« net greatly concern the layman, but when a physician claim* the right to kill a malt Who la Suffering from an \Incurable disease\ humanity begin* to prick up it* ear*. A well-known phy sician baa made public announcement o f hi* belief In the right of a doctor to kill a patient when hi* medical experi ence and hi* knowledge of the ailment satisfy him that there Is no chance of ultimate recovery. This physician not only claims this right, but has been exercising it to the best of bis ability for many years. He admits that he has produced death by chloroform In many cases of \incurable patients\ during his practice, which has extended over a period of thirty-five years. In defend ing this practice he says; \M y position has not been changed by the criticisms o f the clergy and some brother physi cian*. I still think, and always sh&U, that if a patient Is suffering from an Incurable disease and he want* relief from hit misery a physician Is doing a deed of mercy if he helps him to end his life.\ The discussion was started by a paper read before the American Social Science Association at Saratoga by Judge Simeon E. Baldwin, Presi dent of the American Bar Association. T h e Judge threw ethics to the winds and vigorously maintained that a man had a right to claim the asalstance of hia physician In ridding himself of this “ mortal coll’’ when It had been decreed that his disease was Incurable.- The paper has provoked much adverse criti cism, but none as severe as It would seem to deserve. The promulgation of such Ideal Is reprehensible and does so ciety Incalculable harm In that It tenda to lower the popular estimate of the sacredneas of human life. Life Is not such a trifling thing that the cords that bind us to human obligation are to be •napped asunder whenever a physician, w h o Is only a fallible human being, de cldes that an ailment Is Incurable. The phycjfclan should not be allowed to supersede the Almighty in thla matter,' neither should he be above and beyond the law of the State. A man Is entitled to all the aids that medical science can give to prolong life until finally sum maned by the silent messenger. , , ______ of ths mind— XtathaR awake u d Balt is!'dream we *••; Shat never can be captured or defined?

My sister Margaret bad been suffering from a general decline, and we, fearing eon sumption bad marked her for Its own, took her away to the seashore, hoping that the change would do her good. W e had already been there three months when he arrived. I loved him the first tim e I saw him; be w a s the Ideal for whom I had been looking. We went boating, driving and w a lking together. It seems to me now that those sir short weeks were a dream, or that we lived lu Arcady From early morulng until eveulug, when the twilight shadows faded into night, w e were together, and Margaret was w ith us.

The people of •lther country do not want this to be a final transaction between them. With all the manifest advantages which ensue from tbe extreme divis ion of labor there la one serious ml* fortune for which we have not yet found a remedy. It Is that most of our allotted work leaves many of our fac ulties comparatively Inactive. Men who found a colony and who must learn to turn their hands to. everything, to ex- aretoe their bodler’and their brains al ternately, to think and to act, to plan and to cany out, do not incur this dan ger. Their work Is, of course, less per- foot, bnt they are mere evenly desel ected. With ns, however, especially in our cities, the tendency Is all the oth er way. Competition Is so great, stand ards so high and superiority of achieve ment so rigorously demsnded that ha who would succeed must devote him self to Ms speeds! work too exclusive ly for Ms own aS-round Improvement.

Autocolskt went further still; she wore a soft mauve pique hat \VOC’RS HARDLY A STRANOBH,” I SAID, without any trimming at all; it had a straight brim like a man’s hat and was w o n over tbe eyes Handsome hats for fall are trimmed with daintily twisted chtffonne. A new reddish straw hat 1* very broad, turned up on tbe left side, with two deep scallop*, in each of which was lodged a Louis XT. bow in black velvet ribbon.

I felt very sad at the thought of hlg departure, though l looked forward to m eeting him In the city. True, he had not Bpoken of love, but I knew; be did not need to speak. A ll this time Margaret had not Im proved. She seemed to grow weaker as each day sped by. One night we tempted her to take a little walk on the sands. The air w a s warm and there w a s a land breeze, so there was no fear o f her catching cold. As w e walked slowly, w e all grew silent. I was thinking o f the future and w h a t It might bring. Guy of Ids departure, and Margaret—I know now, only too well wbat her thoughts were. •There Is going to be a storm,” I said, leisurely, pointing to a bank of dark clouds across the water. \Nonsense!” said Guy. \You girls think every cloud means a tornado or cyelone.” W e walked quietly along, each Intent tn our ow n thoughts, until Guy looked up, gave a sudden exclamation and shook m y arm. \T h e storm Is upon us,” be said. “ Hurry, dear, hurry!” The affectionate word escaped him involuntarily. The storm w a s Indeed upon ns. Tbe sky was black with masses o f quickly moving clouds. The wind bowled and moaned, and In the distance we conld see trees bent to the ground by its fury. The sea from time to tim e gave vent to sullen moans. There w a s no time to be lost. I ran along tbe beach to where the hotel stood. Guy was helping Marga r e t I bad not gone many steps when I beard him call me. Turning I saw that my sister had fallen on tbe beach to a fainting fit. W e rubbed her hands and tried to bring her back to consciousness, la the meanwhile the storm w a s increas- tog and occasionally a large drop of rain felL “Jt Is o f no use,\ said G e y after a few minutes. \You must help me carry the poor child.\ At the last word Margaret opened her eyes, and as she looked at him I saw to them a light that contracted my heart “Yee r f f l save me, Guy. dear.” she said, and again lost consciousness.

For one terrible moment fate trembled in the balance, and then I .turned away feeling ghat hope was dead in my heart But my mind made up, do it l would. Ho came to onr sitting room In re- sponao to my note asking for a few minutes' conversation. 1 bad resolved to meet him coldly; there was no other way. \Mr. Faversham.” I said, after shak ing hand* with him, “my sister would like to see you. I think you know why/ He looked at me, and his face grew pale beneath the bronze. \I am glad to bear that she la so much better as to be able to see stran gers, Miss Vepetia.\ be said. 1 moistened my lips, they w e re dry and burning, with a glass o f water tfint stood on the table beside me. “You are hardly a stranger,\ I said, with a smile. Then, before 1 knew It he had me to his arms. “ Oh, my darling,” he cried, \ I love you—you! Don't you know It?” 1 hastily disengaged myself from bla embrace and stepped back toward the door. I could at least leave the room If It grew too embarrassing. H e fol lowed me. “ Do you mean to say that you don’t care for me, Venetla?\ he said. 1 shook my head. 1 could not trust to words. \1 won’t believe It,” be said, fiercely. “Not If you were to tell me It 60,000 times over.” I gummed up all my strength. \ I nm sorry, Mr. Fuversbain, that you have misunderstood my sentiments and feelings toward you. They have been friendly, but nothing more, t have always regarded you as my sister's lover.” I could say no more. There was long silence. Guy had walked to the window and stood there like a statue, stern and Immovable. A t last he turned. “ You wish me to marry your sister, Venetla?” “ It will save her life,” I whispered. “ And you do not love m e -you never could love me?” I shall always love you as a brother, Guy.” Without another word he le ft me. I listened to bis step till I heard It in tbe distance like an echo, and then went to my room and pruyed that I might die. About three months after that fatal day we took Margaret home. Bhe was much belter; but my health had broken (lowu so during her Illness that the doc tors recommended a thorough change for me; so three weeks after their de cision I sailed for Europe. I received letters regularly from Mar garet and In each one she spoke of her Improved health, and also mentioned casually that she had seen Mr. Faver- shara that day, or the day before. At last the news came. They were engaged and were to be married very soon. I was not to come home, for they would join me to spend their Honeymoon, that “Guy and my dear sister may learn to know each other better,” wrote Margaret. K n o w each other better! Was not my cup o f bit terness full enough without this added drop? Hut It was written that 1 never was to meet the man I loved as the hus band of another. Two days after they sailed from New York the gallant Bhlp went down with all on board, m y sis ter and her husband among them. My sacrifice had been In vain, for now I had lost them both, and nay darling never knew how deeply I had loved him. The Stager Not the Hong. The sentiment of a familiar song Is as fully expressed by the music as bjr the words. In the singing of the w tlonal anthem by a mixed crowd, for example, It Is surprising bow few of the singers know the words of tbe songs that they are singing, and bow well those who do not ean get on with out them. The moet of the people in the crowd sing the words o f from two to half a dozen lines, and then they go on with “ Ah, lum turn turn, lum turn turn,” for the rest of the way, and their fervor Is in nowise abated by the loss of coherency In tbe lines. It Illustrates that words are not the only means of expressing thoughts. The details of the poet’s reasoning are of small consequence to the average sing er. What be has In his mind Is patri otic enthusiasm, and, given a stirring air, he can pour It ont Just as well through Incoherent syllables as throngh logically arranged stanzas When tbe orchestra of a theater play* “Hall, Co lumbia,” the whole aodlence applandi n o t O M p s i * * W t w e w y k a w w s ^ iw * e f t f l A q ^ q ftitot*OBgth*B-— , S r i O W r o b U ; happy land!

G. E. Deal states that he once saw a young elephant deliberately fashion a surgical Instrument. He saw the ani mal lu question go to a bamboo fence and break off one of the pickets; thla picket It further fractured with Its trunk and one of Its fore feet until It obtained a sharp fragmeut some ten ot twelve Inches In length. Then, leaulng forward on one of Its forelegs. It thrust this fragment, which it grasped with Its trunk, into Its \armpit and vly orously moved It to and fro.

It Is played with a ball Jjbout fou r inchee In diameter, hollow and strong. The number o f contestants varies, but play Is sharpest when there are enough to form a circle about ten feet to diameter. Beyond that, the larger the circle the slow e r the play. The game consists to keeping ths ball tossing to tb e a ir without break ing toe circle. I f a man misses bis op portunity he drops out, and when bnt four or six remain, the w o rk I* sharp and very pretty. The ball Is struck most frequently with toe knee, but also w ith tbe foot, from before, behind, and a t toe side of the player. A p layer ba* been known to let a ball drop directly behind his back, and then, w ithou t turning, re turn It clear over his bead and straight Into the middle o f the circle, all with one well-aimed backw a rd kick of bl* heel.

Beneath the Flowers Lie the Remslne ^ ot e roldter’s Young Wtfo. Near tbe top of the highest knoll on tbe rolling prairie three miles south west of old Fort Hays, lu Kansas, Is a lonely grave In the prairie grass. Them Is a board at the head aud auother u the foot. Three hoards may once have borne an epitaph, but now tl\«y *ra browned and worn by the sun aud storm* of many years, and they are de cayed at the ground Bud stand at an angle, almost ready to fall. A prairie rabbit has made Its burrow at the foot of the grave. All around It the grass Is full of purple and yellow flowers. Standing by the grave and looking north and east there lies stretched out a landscape of wondrous beauty. Th* green sod of the plalus slope gradually down from the grave a distance ot three miles to the cluster of long gray and yellow empty buildings which were the barracks and officers’ quarters of Fort Hays when this was the far West years before there was * railroad In Kauaas. Beyond tbe fort Is the town of Ilays City, a group of yellow stone and red brick buildings. Beyond stretches the prairie, north and east, to the horizon line twen y and thirty mile* away. Diagonally across this stretch ot level plain runs a thread of vivid green from northwest to southeast, the tree* that fringe Big Creek. There are no other treea anywhere else In th* landscape. The legend of the lonely grave la that yeans ago, when the Fort Hays bar racks were full of troops, an army hos pital steward brought his young wife there to live with him. Each Sunday the officer and his wife walked out to this hill, snd they used to sit down on the sbady side of It near the summit and gaze for hours out at the landscape below. Then they could see the herds of buffalo roaming over the prairie, and once tn a while a band of Indiana scur rying across It. One day the young wife was stricken with a deadly fever. Before she died she asked her hnBbBnd to promise that he wonld bury her body near tbe top of the hill, at the very apot where they naed to sit snd look oiit over the won derful landscape. He kept tbe promise and there Is her grave. The only flow ers he could get to plant upon It were the wild flower* of the prairie* and they are blooming there yet. Porto Rloo Once a ForesL Porto RJco, say the sclewtlets, was originally on Immense forest from the seashore to the mountain summit*. It 1* doubtful I f there Is a single foot of Me land area which was not at one time covered by tree growth, from the diminutive mangrove buSbea on the coast to toe giant tree* of the moun tain sides and top*. Although still wooded tn the sense that It 1* dotted by many beautiful trees, the Island la now largely deforested from * commercial paint of view. - Annoyed by Clonk's Rtnctn*.
