After cereful consideration 210 Committee on Awards came to the conclusion that the essay weich had , bean Prepared by Se A.

The follotving is from that essay which comes like a veritable gespel of encouragement, full of sim- Pie, clear, helpful information:- WHAT IS CONSUMPTION? Pulmonary consumption, or tuber- culosis of the lungs, is a chronic dis- ease, caused by the presence of the tubercle bacillus, or germ of con- suniption, in the lungs. The disease 35 locally characterized by countless tubercles, that is to say, smith rounded bodies, visible to the naked. eye. The bacilli can be found by the inillion in the affected organ. It is this little parasite, fungus, or mush- room, belonging to the loweet scale of vegetable life, which must be con- sidered as a specific cause of all tube erculous diseases. This parasite not only gradually destroys the lung substance through ulcerative proces- se, but gives olT at the COMO tin10 certain poisonous substances called toxins which give rise to various, and often serious, symptoms. 110IV MAY TILE GERM ENTER THE HUMAN SYSTEM? 1. By being inhaled; that is 1 d 13000.3. 110(1 into the lungs. 2, By being ingested; that is, eat- en with tuberculous food. 3. PY inoculation; that is, the Penetration of tub.erculous .substance through a wotind in the skin. Of these tape, ways in which the bacilli may ' enter, the fIrst one scenes to be the most important. WHAT MUST BE DONE TO CISECK. SPREAD Ole CONSUMPTION? A, Destruction of Tuberculous Ex- • . ' Pectoration. - Consumptives and those living with them must know that all precautionary measures are instituted in the inlerest of the in- , e alid as well as of his fellOwnlert. These measures Protect. the patient - - from reinfection and others from the danger of contraceing the disease. A patient stifle:ring from pulmonary consumption should know that, no matter in what stage of the disease lie may be, 1110 expectoration or spit- tle may spread the germ of the dis- ease if the matter expectorated is not destroyed before it has a chance to dry and become pulverized. The patieat should, therefore, always spit in some receptacle intended for the purpose. It is best to hove this 505-. sel made of metal so as not to break. it should be half filled with water or some disinfecting fluid, the main thing being to make it impos- sible for the expectoration to dry. The physicians, statesmen, and philanthropists interested in the so- lution of the tuberculosis problem have, besides working for the better housing of the poor and the area- tion of special institutions for the treatment of consumptives, an acidi.- tional mission to perform., The tide of emigration from village to city Should be reversed. 11 tuberculosis has ado its ttppearance in a family living in a large city, the physician should exert all his influence to in- duce especially the younger members to migrate to the country and seek outdoor qccupations. Statesmen should protect the interests of the lamer, so that fanning will h more attraction to the rising gener- oaten than it has had in the last few decades, and philanthropists should tied tlui statesmen by endowing in- stitutions for instruction in scientific and profita.ble agriculture. and E090 by providing healthful amusements, good libraries, and other education- al institutions in country districts, thus making living outside of large cities more interesting and attro.c- tive to young people; in short, the love a nature and life in the open air should be more cultivated, in 010 proportion in which thiti is done tll 1)0VC1110919 will aCC00/.3.80.

King Christian of Denmark is the `e - most beloved of European monarchs, A story is told which illustrates the affection of his people, and at the same time the freedom with which they approach him The King was visiting*. town in northern Jutland, whena peasant advanced to him Cal the street and asked him if he was the King. The monarch smiled, as he answered al- firmalvely and inquired if he could do anything for him. ."No," said: the peasant, bluatly. "I just wanted to tell vou that You . . - are a, good king -one of the best eve • h d " aver a . The King laughed. - "Do you think so ?" he replied. "Well, perhaps it's a inattet of taste ; but then, I'm a poor judge in affairs of this sort." That the peasant, however, was . . . . not far wrong m his estimation is evidenced bY another stSlY in which King Christian was the good angel. 1111101 • h b • , 4 - d b th s cuer as been Ica ee Y 0 action of the Ring in placing 9. wreath on the grave of the wife of Jensen the famous portrait -painter, ' . - Jensen was a poor boy in whose career his Majesty took much inter- t.

The peech has been criticised with a se- ority by Lord Rosehery's oppon- nts, Which conies with an, ill grace rem men whose moral progranuttes 4:o na reach any higher than do his. Ile Pall Mall Gazette, in an article !ended "Peace and Rosberity," se- orely arraigns Lord Rosehery, de- laring 'that in him "an infirmity of urpose wrecks a healthy patriotie astinct." It adds that these "care- ally arranged emergencies of Lord losebery from his letterer' leisure .dd a certain spice to politics.
