A heavily loaded street car in Phildadel- phia wa? stopped last week by the falling of one of its horses from exhaustion. The poor beast was lifted to his feet, and was about to be rehamessed, though his should- ers were raw but no one protested until a young lady vehemently warned the driver that the woold procure his immediate ar- rest if he persisted in trying to drive the horse. The driver sneered and swore, but took the hint, and the horse was sent away. If the comen of the mouth are habitually drawn down in a frown and the brows wrinkled in perplexity, those features will gradually assume an aspect of repellent ser- ionsaeas. On the other hand, the man who smiles a great deal will acquire a pleasant expression. A Yankee has invented an ap- paratus to bo worn at night, which he fan- cies will not only lend an agreeable expres- sion to a face that has not yet Ijecome set, but will obliterate and rearrange the un- pleasant lines that time and circumstances have established.

John Borland, well known in thU city, who eeterad tbe hotphal on Sept. 29 bat, says when she was sent to the hospital she waa placed on a bed In which was one sheet to lie on and then a ragged, dirty blanket for a oovering. For the firat few days she suffer- ed from the cold owing to the window joit above her head being partially open and a too scanty supply of clothing. While she waa still snfiSarii^ from cold, aa were several others, a man of ihe hospital was applied to for additional covering, when he brought up several ragged blankets, which he dutrib- uted, saying as he did so not to let the nuna know, or •• they would play hell with him." Dr. Nolin gave no medical attendance, sim- ply looking at the cards over the beds in the momli^, dropping here and there an ooca^: â- ional itamark, and thus passing along and ont. Mrs. Borland and Mrs. opkins. who were both patients, declared that Dr Nolin gave them no professional attention until in Mra. Borland's case she asked for some aperient medicine, when he gave a dose of what he called mineral water, the effect of which for four days waa that the most pain- ful diarrhcet was experienced, which was followed for five consecutive days by hem- orrhage, which was so profuse as to run through the bed on to the floor of the ward. Dr. Nolin then gave her a powder,- which, while it stopped the hemorrhage, neverthe- less gave her a pain in her side which she experienoeW to the present day. There was no attendance given by the regular nurses, that being principally done by convalescent patients. Cries of the pat ents for a glass of water were heartrending, to be met by the response " Shut up, you." The stench of the place was most ravolting, and anything in the way of deodorizing or disinf toting was never thought of. The heartlessness, they said, with which parents are treated in the St. Booh s hospital was remarkable. In the case of -a Miss Norris, to relieve a choking sensation, application was made to Dr. No- lin. After much entreaty he made his ap- pearance and gave her some relief. This was about 10 o°olock at night, and nothing more was done or attempted. The following day she was lemoved to the black smallpox ward, and without any further attention was allowed te die a couple of days after- wards. No attention was paid to anybody the moment they entered the black small- pox war^ idid the ories th:tt oame from that awfid place were heartrending. After the first night of Mris. Borland's stay In the hos- pital a poor woman after her death was roll- ed out of the bed on which she had died and allowed to fill like a log of wooden the floor. The first evei ing Mrs. Borland spent In the hospital a woman, who bad been a cook of the Rev. Mr. Wood, died under terrible circumstances. For hours previous to her death, and as long as she could speak even in a whisper, she cried, " For God's sake give me water, ' but the only attention giv- en her was to tell her to shut up. She died during the night. Previous to her death she writhed In her agony and fell out of bed. Two men were called, who lifted, and throw- ing her into bed, said: "Now sit on her and keep her down ' When, dead a sheet waa placed on the floor and she was rolled on to it like a log. Then they pinned up the sheet around her and two men dragged her down stairs. Her body thumping on the stairs could be heard in the ward. On throwmg the corpse of this woman down off her bed her bowels burst open and the contents were spilled all over the floor, which were allowed to remain thore for several days, the stench being abominable. A number of similar cases oould be given. There was only one nun to four wards and with eight in each ward, the patteats could not be attended to. The food was often not fit to eat. MECHAinOAL IHEMS.

In about the centre of the Island of Tiin- Idad, a dot in the Carribbean sea, just off the coast of Venezuela, t)iera Is an asphalt lake. It is said to cover about 100 acres, and is appurantiy laexhaustible. It is a blaok sand aubstmoe and is believed to be crude rotten petroleum. A singular feature of the substance Is that, although about 30,- 000 tons are taken out of this lake annually, it cpnstantiy fills up so there is no lessening of the supply. This singular lake of paving material is owned by the Venezuelaa government, but is lested to a company in Washington.
