Lord 4‘ Imrles Item-Mord sounds 11 Warning Nam Against the d‘orru pt ll :19. of Diane”- Lord Charles Beresford, a gallant sailor of the British navy, recently startled a London audience by maklng an earnest [rotest against the sordid tendem 1es of so: ial life. He declared that rich men were able to buy their way into the highest soci :11 and. politi- cal Dositions, and that the money pow- er was eating away like a canker the virtues of English character. Wherever there are great masses of wealth, there will be those to make a vicious use 01? it, whether in» England, or America, or anywhere. The power of money will always be misused by many rich men in any country; justl as there are invariably millionaires , who have a proper sense of their re-t Sbonsihilities as the possessors of great. . fortunes, and. make. good use of their, wealth by founding colleges and artg galleries and endowing hospitals and. public charities. " 1 I g \Vhat Lord Charles I-ieresford’s audi- ’ ence could not understand was the mo- ; tive which had insuired so eminent and z public-spirited a man in his sudden 3 outbreak against the sordid and demor- i alizing influences of money. If the speech had been made two years ago, when the South African millionaires organized their raid against the Trans- vaal, they would not have needed any explanation. The abuses of money pow- er were then a public scandal. But there seemed to he nothing in recent affairs to justify his solemn warning against the corrupting influences of ; money. ' Lord (‘harles Beresford, is, however, i a man of rank and social prestige, who i knows what is going on in the world of English fashion. He. was not firing a gun aimlessly in the air. « L‘- i (bpwullus lu Dubxcvy Juu; nuns. ‘, There are rich peOple who desire ad-l Not an Authorityâ€"Customer, in re- i mission into these “smart” circles, and? staJurantâ€"“This l-eefsteak must he at 1 are eager to buy the privileges at high” least three weeks old, isn’t it?" \Vait- 7 cost by entertaining extravagantly and . erâ€"“Don’t know, sad); I’se only teen 3 lending money to spendthrifts.

There is a word which is constantly used by ambitious people in England, whether they have much or little money. That word is “smart.” There IS no magnet so strong in London 80‘ cioty, as what is known as “a smart 86‘4” who know the right peOple, dress handsomely, and set the fashions of the day, and whose names are constantly appearing in f‘society journals”. ' Lord Charles Beresford probably had the follies, lax morality and selfish- ness, of this fast, “smart” society mind when he sounded his warning against the corrupt use of money in the fashionable world, The moral, however, is good for ev. ery age and country. It is not a high ambition to aspire to belong to“sfnart” sets, which make a great show in the world, and by the very conditions un- der which they live are led daily to be supremely considerate of themselves and wholly indifferent to the needs of humanity about them. Railway llosplml (‘ur to (‘arry Wounded to the Nearest City. In Belgium they have what is known as the hospital car, and when a. serious railway accident occurs the car may be run to the Spot, where the wounded may be picked up and carried to the nearest large city for treatment. in- stead of waiting hours for the arrival of surgeons. Again. the car ca.‘n' be used to trans- port large companies of invalids from place to place at certain seasons of the year. The interior of the car is divid- ed into a main compartment. 9. corri- dor on one side and two small rooms at the end. The hospital proxier is in the larger compartment; it contains twenty-four isolated beds of steel tubes hung; from powerful springs. Each patient lies in front of two little windows which may be opened or closed at will. Each bed is provided with a little movable table to hold all obj_ects_required.~ On the outaiae of thé hospital cham-l her the corridor leads us to the linen: closet and the doctor’s department, in which there is a huge cupboard used for drugs, surgical instruments and a folding bed. Various tram doors in the floor open into receptacles for ice, a provision cellar. etc. Arrangements are made for an Operating chamber and there is even a small chapel for relig- ious worship. ‘ The car will be used principdly to entry involid: from Belgium to the miraculous cure et Lourdes.
