A visitor to a hospital for soldiers

tients being addressed by the nurses
by bis Christian name, it being custom
ary to address patients by tlicir sur
names only. Upon inquiry as to why
this distinction was accorded to the

received was:
“Well, we can’t, very well call him by
his surname."
“Bnt why not?” queried the some

Chicago. It was built iu the “loop dis

1888. A few years later both these
wanders became insignificant and prac

greatly outdone by succeeding sky
scrapers. But these were not the in

signed nearly three centuries ago.

Excitement.
People who easily get excited aon't
usually live nearly so long as people
who keep calm. Excitement, in fact,
wastes the vitality and affects one’s
health to a very great extent. This is
true, too, of all who seek excitement,
whether physical or mental. Excite
ment makes the pulse beat above ihc
ordinary rate, and one’s reserve of en
ergy is used up so much the quicker
