IN Daetorlna Dog for All Kinds f OlaaaaaaAaln OtharSwall Plaeaa tha Doetara' rt ara Haavy. Titer arc babies' hospitals, wom en's hospitals, city hospitals and hospitals fot almost every human need In this great city, writes a Now York correspondent But lately tho hospltnl service hn been extended so ns to take In and provide for dogs, and on Fifty-fourth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, there is n nourishing dog hospital. It your hundred dollar pet lap dog has a slight cold, or has been ex posed to grip, you can come between the hours of !) and 5 o'clock any afternoon with tho patient and have him examined and prescribed for in ho most skillful and scientific man ner. If tho cold Is Sertoli, nnd there are complications of cough nnd fever, you will liavo to enter him as a houso patient- and leavo htm to bo treated in the hospital. Tho hoipttul occupies n.numbcr of bright, cheery, sunny rooms over a long row of beautifully built nnd kept terra eotta nnd red pressed brick stables. There are separate rooms for tho several diseases to which dog flesh is heir," and those rooms are subdivided Into wards, just as In a real hospital. There arc flowering plants In tho windows, Hiowy wlilto draperies and hangings und tiny Uttlo wlilto enameled Iron beds, all railed round, and soft wool blnukots, which are kept spotlessly clean nnd sweet. It usually falls to tho lot of tho footman or coachman to bring tho sick dog to tho hospital, hut It often happens, especially if I ho pot Is unusually valuable, or very sick, that tho mistress herself drives up to tho door, mounts tho short lllght of steps with tho Uttlo patient snugly folded In her arms. Thoso Uttlo animals are so wlso and so loving that thoy seem nlmost human to their owners, nnd to soo them suffer nffects them as tho suf fering of a Uttlo, .helpless child docs most women. Many are the real groans und tho tears shed when tho owner Is informed that tho patient is reaiiy tu ana must remain for ton days or a week to bo regularly nnd systematically treated. Tho sick dogs are usually tho tiny little pet dogs, and their tnual troublo is a bad attack of Indigestion from too many grilled bones or too much cream on their porridge. Tho Uttlo Japanoso spaniels and tho Mexican hairless dog often suf fer from pneumonia, and sometimes die of consumption. Coming from n warmer climate, thoy cannot stand the sovero wlntor. Thoso little pationts aro brought In their silk lined horlbbonod bnskots, and their ownor pleads hard to have them con tlnuo to sleep and rest in their luxu rious little nests, but tho superin tendent is firm, and dogglo Is re lieved of all superflous wraps and trimmings and given a good warm bath as soon as ho is entered on tho books as a fulllledgod patient. The doctor makes a thorough ex amination and tlion tho mon who ervt us nursos put tho Uttlo patient In ono of tho Iron bedsteads and tuck lilm in securoly. A ticket fastened to tho hoad of tho bod tells tho name, ownor, dnto of admission and diag nosis, so that never by any possibility could thero bo a mixture of pots, many of whom aro so much nllko that tho precaution of labeling them Js a vory wfso ono. At regular Intervals tho dogs are carefully fed with milk and gruel. and thoir medicine is administered from n slondcr china feeding tube or 'from n spoon, whlchovor Is most fogreoablo to tho cranky patients, for the dogs rosont having strango hands laid upon them, for tho ma jority aro badly spoiled by thoir In dulgent mlstrossos. From 0 until 5 o'clock aro tho visiting hours, nnd most of tho owners drop in to seo nnd choor tho little sufferers nnd to Itring thorn somo dainty bit which thoy aro accustomod to have at Uiome. Thero is great rejo'clng when the patient Is pronouncod cured and Is put back into the Uttlo basket and homo homo in triumph; but, on tho other hand, when ono has to go to the land whore all good dogs go thero Is lamentation and weeping and .mourning. Two dollars Is the fee for prescrib ing for u dog which Is brought as an out of door pationt to tho hospital; the medlclnos, of course, are extra; '$10 will nay for a week at tho hos pital with tho vory bot care and at tention which It would be possible oven for a baby to have. Some cases, where tho troublo Is a broken ifoot or a dislocated limb, aro taken nt (l or $3, varying as to tho amount of caro which must bo given thorn. How to Treat a Cold. "Wo nro now In what wo may call tho season for colds, and u woll known French scientific wrltor, M. Henri do l'arvillc, has boon writing Home notes on thoir prevention and euro. Ho points out that as soon ns thero Is tho slightest symp tom of a cold tho sufforcr should vlnto tho mouth frequently with some nntlsoptlc fluid, such us a solu tion of carbolic ucid, and should In halo through tho none the smell of this (laid. This troatmont servos to keco olt tho germ which are likely to caiiso a cold. Iiut the most curious part of his notes Is that which treats of catching cold through getting one's feot wot. In this caso, in addition to tho treat ment of tlio mouth und noso by dis infectants, ho advocates plunging tho iect Into cold water. Usually, ho .says, people havo tho water us hot us thoy can bear It, but that Is a mis take It Is likely to make the cold worse. Whon our feot havo becomo chilled by tho wot, obviously the first thing to bo douo is to muko tho blood clrculnto properly in thorn. Now, warm water cortalnly brings the Mood back to the chilled feet while they ure in tho hot water, but .as soon as they ure taken out and the tempornturo becomes much lower the blood again leavo the feet and returns to the Inner organs, which ure -warmer, with tl)o rosult that tuo cold often oecomes wor t'ilL-!ie.&j '4 .n zjJ:jlC The feot shonld r plunged into cold r.iitor, oven into snow, for Me space of forty to fifty seconds, wt more, This sonds tho blood Hying Into tin Inner orflnns, whero tho titnpernturo Is vory high, nnd, ns n consequonco, It gradually goes bask t- tho feet and stops there. Tho cir culation being thus restored, n Uttlo energetic rubbing of tho feot will maintain it. M . do Pnrvllte recom mends this treatment to nil who aro sufferers from anemia and bad circulation, ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. Cenvartlng Coal Dlraotly Into Else- trlolty. "What will be the next great dis covery, In cloctrlclty?" Edison was asked by a Philadelphia Press Interviewer. "Well that," ho replied, "would bo a Uttlo dllllcult to reply to. Thero aro so many lines and so many of us pursuing our Investigations on thoso linos that it leaves a wldo field to chooso from. Tho fellow who solves his pirticulnr problem first can an swer It, but not until tho problem Is solved. There are more possibilities In some lines than In others. Tho experimenters who arc striving nftor high speed on railroads will, if they succeed In thclrobjoct, become real epoch maker. The delri to cover dlstanco at a remarkable speed nnd 'get there in no time' Is strong, but I think ihcjjenerul public looks upon It In a wrong light, Thoro Is prac tically no limit to the speed that can be nttutned on n railroad. It is wrong to nssutno that thero Is. Tho .only limit there could be would bo ut tho point nt which the engine nnd enrs would break up or fly to pieces. Viewing It from tho commercial standpoint it will depend on various external Intlttencc. Hut I think that great speed will finally bo at tained and It will be when wo aro able to obtain electricity direct from coal. ''Tho discovery of away of convert ing coal directly Into electricity will be tho turning point of nil our methods of propulsion. Naturally steam will bo entirely superseded by tha current. Thero will bo no boilers nor nny of the necessary externals which go with steam cnglnos. Wo are rapidly approaching tho time of tho steam engine's end. Tho largo Atlantic liners are slowly reducing their tlmo on their trips, but thnt must soon stop. Then wo shall havo to wait until coal is turned di rectly Into electricity. I bellovo it will come and then we will cross the Atlantic in four days or loss. Wo can get 00 por cent, of tho ofllcaiy of n dynamo ugalnst 0 to 10 per cont. of an engine. The dlffcronco will bo ns groat or greater In results under tho looked for regime Wo get llftcon thousand horso power or thereabouts from tho liner's englno now. Whon we got 80,000 horso power, as wo will, perhaps, wo will be nearer what I look for. "It Is ono thing to solve. Lot some follow follow out this lino of research and get tho right reaction und w shall havo n wonderful revolution 4 1 many things. It will load to troatlng metals by cloctrlc.nl reduction, and an enormous number of accomplish monts. We now go to the molting point of nickel, for Instance, but un der tho new roglmo wo will get all re actions not now obtainable and go to tho melting point of anything no earth." Tha Owl Slaw Out tha Gas. Mr. Dowar, of Itavonswood, la vory fond of pots and ho 1 also somewhat peculiar in his cholco of thorn. He objects to dogs. Ho has four boautl ful chlldron, and lie thinks the com bination might bo dangerous on dog days. So ho tried tin owl ns somo thing hithorto untried, nnd altogether likely from 1U woll known habits to bo just the sort of a pot that would not annoy him. For a few mouths hoi'lsmlssed.tho pet question from his mind as settled forever. Ono night, after carefully tucking the chlldron In bod, ho went out with tho older mombers of his fumily to spond tho evening. The owl, mis led by the quiet of tho houso, begun his nightly wanderings In quest of adventure. Perhaps blio light from turned down gas jots proventcd him from en joying tho darkness ho loved so woll, or perhaps It was by accident that his flapping wing blow thorn out one aftor another. Be that as It may, whon Mr. Dewar openod his front door on his return home lato that night ho was utmost ovorpow- oreu uy the fumes or escaping gun. He rushed in und found his little daughter nearly suffocated. During tho timo ho wus helping to rcstoro her opening windows nnd wondering how in tho world this ufTulr had taken place ho stumbled over his pot owl lying on tho tloor limp and lifelong. Tho situation was oxplalncd, and hi Is now looking forward with anxiety for his monthly gas bill. Military Honors. Not only doos tho dlsclpllno of the Gormiin soldiers cull for admiration; Unit of tho civilians Is no less ro markablo. Tho othor day, in tho vicinity ot Marlenburg, tho German emporor, on his roturn from tho mancouvors, had to drlvo through u Uttlo vlllago Suddonly and without nny asslcnuhlo reason his majesty was soon by tho mouthers of his sultu to shako his sides and break into loud shouts of laughter. Ono of tho gon tlomcn in waiting, happening torulso his eyes, began to follow tho einpor or's exumplo, nnd tho noxt mlnuto tho whole party wont into convul sions. This is what happened: .V sweep, wearing a top hat of prodig ious dimensions, hud just einorgod from a chlmnoy. Catching sight of tho emperor, and roinom boring his military codo, ho stood por'chod up thoro llko a sontry at his post and presented his brush. Craiy on Cheokers.
