He is the workingmau's true friend
who says to each one, Paddle your
own canoe" All this twaddle about
taking care of them, as if they were
flock of tame pigeons, is an insult.
1t is bad enough to be a woman, and
have men make spheres like toy bal
looms, and put one into stay, but it
must be worse to be man and have
to be taken care OF like a little plas-
ter-of.paris Samuel saying his pray
ers. A human biped with a beard
must feel nice to have political econ
omists discuss him as if he were one
of thousand bags of wheat which
were to be disposed of to the best
advantage. Pears to me, if I were
a man, with all the waste cabins and
idle fields in this country before me,
1 could save agitation committees
and ex-secretaries the trouble of
talking about me; for if did not
raise my own pork and beans, it
would be curious Chicago Tribune.

London, England, has a most de-
ightful atmosphere. There is moth
ing flimsy or gauzy about the air of
London. In the language of slang
it is not 400 thin" There is
something real and tangible about
it; something you can see, and feel
and realize not the transparent stuff
we have i'm Detroit. 1t must be seen
and felt to be appreciated. 1t has
such q reality, and a substance, in
fact, that if it surrounded Chicago it
would undoubtedly be heavily mort
gagged. London's atmosphere owes
its consistency to the fumes arising
from the may coal fires of the city.
In a paper read before the Society of
Arts it was estimated that the
coal annually consumed in London
is over S,OOO,0 900 tons, equal at per
cent. Of sulphur to $4,000 tons, or as
oil of vitriol to 245,00O tons. This
is more than five times the amount
given off from all the sulphuric acid
works in the country.-DetrOn Free

Sleeping In Her COMn

Miss Mary Anderson, talking to
reporter of the Louisville Courier
Journal the other day said of Sarah
Bernhardt, that "she slept in a coffin
continually for three years. She
does not do so now. asked her
why she gave up the habit. She
said she had grown tired of it, as the
coffin was uncomfortable. She said
she wished to familiarize herself
with the thought of death. l saw
her boudoir. The carpet was of
black velvet, with flowers in silver,
the furniture covered with black
velvet, and the walls curiously de-
corated in the same fashion. A
skeleton Of a man who she said had
died of love in Mantua hung before
the mirror, with finger pointing at
its own reflection. In large bowls
about the room rose leaves were
heaped, the fragrance that arose be-
ing overpowering. could not re.

tive of horrible thoughts"

The owl or some other astronomer
of the New York Tribune thus
timetables the March stars:
! The breezy month of March opens
with an aImost entire absence of
evening stars. Jupiter, which was
90 conspicuous ell through the early
winter, vanished before the close of
the year. was in conjunction with
the sun OH Jan. 5, and is now reap
pearing as morning star down in
the southeast, in the constellation of
the Archer. Venus fingered in the
lap of February, but has also disap-
peared. She was in conjunction
with the sun on Feb. 81, and will
soon be morning star in Aquarius,
attaining her greatest brilliancy
about the 2S.h and 18th inst. Saturn
will also be in conjunction with the
sun on the 18th, and Mercury on
the 21st, and both are consequently
invisible. Mars is still an evening
visitant, but the ruddy god is fast
retreating, and what wss so glorious
an object in September is now nc
brighter than a second.class star.
But though there is no conspicu-
ons planet to act as guardian of the
evening, that post is well filled by
Sirius, The dog-star, which shines
and flashes with vividness only
inferior to Venus and Jupiter. Its
light is intensely white, with sap
phire tinge and an occasional gleam
of red, but its color has probably
changed. Seneca called it redder
than Mars, and Ptolemy classed it
with the ruddy Antares. On ac-
count of its brightness aud beautiful
changes, Sirius has always
attracted attention. II is known to
be giant sun, some five thousand
times larger than our sun, shining at
a distance of more than a hundred
millions of miles-a distance so
great that light which comes from
the sun in eight minutes, takes
and half years to reach
the earth from Sirius. 1t has been
discovered too, that the star is
journeying south at the rate. of
twenty miles a second, and is also
going away from the solar system
at the rate Of twenty.six miles per
second. Where it is going no one
can tell. .8H .r

For some months past this disease
has been alarmingly prevalent in the
northern districts ofLondon, especi-
ally in houses occupied by the
wealthier classes. This has led to
the belief that the disease is caused
by sewer gas. This theory is
sustained by investigations recently
made by the health officer of the city
of Glasgow. He has shown that the
prevalence andsfatality of diphtheria
is intimately related to the amount of
communication with the sewers,
through water-closets, sinks, waste
pipes, etc. Another important fact
is also advanced by him-that all
zymotic diseases, except diptheria
and enteric fevers, are greatest in
in the poorest and most closely con-
fined teDements, while these latter
diseases are more frequent in the
better class houses where extensive
sewer connections exist. The Lon
don Lancet observes in which the
atmosphere OF most town residential
houses is poisoned by sewer gas is
far too generally overlooked.

A CURE FOR BURNs.--The follow
ing is one of the best applications for
burns or scalds, more especially
when large surface is denuded of

powdered alum and mix thoroughly

A sad and terrible case Of drowning is
narrated by correspondent Of the Fergus
Falls Advocate, from Pelican Rapids. The
two young men drowned were Charlie and
Jesse Alderman. The eldest started for
home, and ip crossing the lake on the ice,
broke through, and his call was call for
help, which his brother mistook for help
to kill a deer; and as he came TO the edge
of the lake, seeing his brother in danger,
started to cross on the ice to help him, and
he broke through and was drowned too.

The beautiful weather during the past
two weeks, leads to the hope that the win
ter of 1916 may prove as fine, warm, and
pleasant as the two preceding. The major,
ity of the new settlers are but lily prepared
to face a long and severely cold winter.
New and poorly constructed houses, and
no trees as weather brakes, together with
a scarcity of fuel, will in the event of a
very stormy and intensely cold season
cause much suffering and distress.
