These words Were uttered a few weeks ago by a par fellow as he lay on his death-bend im a hotel at Grav- emhmat. A W081; befotre he had trav- elled a Whole day to reach the Sana- torium, but on medical examination It was forum-d that the disease, canâ€" Hum'ptinn, was too far advanced to admit him. He tried to get board In Gravenhumalt and finally after re- peated failures, secured admission to arm; of the hotels. He soon became worst: and the resident physician of the Samtou'ium was called ill]- \Vhen It became known that he had con- sumption, it was found impossible to get attendants to» wait on him through fear of contagion. The hustler of the hotel was asked to help and on his refusal he was offered $1 I day extra, but preferred to give up his position rather than expose himself. as he thought, to the danâ€" ger cit infection from the patient. The physician {mm the Sanatreium had to perform the duties of nurse and maid as‘ well as his own. \Vhen the poor £0110w found that the munâ€" ageme‘ at the hotel wished to‘get him out he begged the doctor for God's sake to get him a place to die in. The doctor looked after him for $001118 days, remainilng with him on his last visit until one o'clock in the moaning. The poor sufferer was fouind dead next day in his bed and beyond the need of further help. Telegrams had been 'sent to his friends, and his sister reached Grav- enhurst only in time to take away the dead body of her brother.

S4me people believe a tooth is not sensitive until a nerve has been ex- pansed. On the contrary. the dentine, om enamel of a tooth. is. a very sensi- tive substance. It used to be said that the first flee-til of a 011:in must not be thrown away when they fell out, for if any animal got Isuch a trophy the next tooth would be like that of the ani- mal finding the b¢ld one. Dentists used to speak of one per- son's teeth behng harder or softer than another’s. It is believed how by able practitioners that all human teeth are at nearly if not quite the same degree of hardness. There is, however, much u thmg as hard or soft dscay im a tooth.

In the west of England a neck- lace 0\f beads made from peony root was) placed (m the child's neck to as- sist the operathom. and one of amber beads was also thought to be power- ful.

A very different chapter in Congo history (has been written in the past two years since the opening of the railroad from Matadi to Stanley Pool. Within the past twenty-four months half of the upper Congo fleet of fifty vessels have been carried on the cars to the Pool. While a month was required to carry the earlier boats over the mountains and down mm the valleys along the 235 miles between the lower Congo and the Pool, an entire boat is now carried over the rouLe in' two days. Thus the railroad has facilitated placing steamers on the upper river; and now both railroad and gteam vessels “are working together in the commercial expansion of the country.
