Try Not to Cough.


A physician who is connected with
an institution which contains many
children says: "There is nothing
more irritating to cough than to
cough. For some time | had been so
fully assured of this that | recently de-
termined-if possible for one minute, at
least-to lessen the number of coughs
heard in certain ward in the hospital
of the institution. BY the promise of
rewards and punishments l succeeded
in inducing them simply to hold their
breath when tempted to cough, and in
little while | was myself surprised to
see how some of the children entirely
recovered from their disease. Con-
slant coughing is precisely like scratch
ing wound on the outside of the body
so long as it is done the wound will not
heal. Let person, when tempted to
cough, draw long breath and hold it
until it warns and soothes every air cell /,
and some benefit will soon be received
from the process. The nitrogen which
is thus refined acts as an anodyne to
the irriated mucus membrane, allaying
the desire to cough and giving the
throat and lungs a chance to heal. AT
the same time suitable medicine will
aid nature in her effort to recuper-
ate. "--B0ltimore NelCs.

The Angel of Little Sacrifices.

Have you ever seen her work? Have
you never, at least, felt her influence?
In every Christian family God has
placed the angel of little sacrifices, try
ing to remove all the thorns, to tighten
all the burdens, to share all the fatgues.
We feel that she is with us, because we
no longer experience that misunder-
standing of heretofore, those deliberate
coldnesses which spoil family life; be-
cause we no longer hear those sharp,
rude words which wound so deeply,
and life is sweeter. The angel of little
sacrifices has received from heaven the
mission of those angels of whom the
prophet speaks who remove the stones
from the road lest they should bruise
the feet of travellers There is place
less commodious than another. She
chooses it, saying, with sweet smile
How comfortable | am here!" There
is some work to be done, and she pre-
sents herself for it, simply with the
joyous manner of one who finds her
happiness in so doing. How many
oversights repaid by this one unknown
hand How many little joys produced
for another without her ever having
mentioned to any one the happiness
which they would give her! Does a
dispute arise? She knows how to settle
it by pleasant word that wounds no
one, and falls upon the slight disturb
ance like ray of sunlight upon a cloud.
Should she hear of two hearts es-
tranged, she has always new means of
reuniting them, without their being
able to show her any gratitude, so
sweet, simple and natural is what she
does But who will tell of the thorns
that have torn her hand, the pain
her heart has endured? And yet she
is always smiling. Have you never
seen her at work-the angel of little
sacrifices? On earth she is called a
mother, friend, sister, a wife. In
heaven she is called saint.-From the
French.

ClOthes-Pins.

Where do all the clothes-pins 60?
Innumerable dozens of them are flow-
ing out into the world continuously
from the factories, and single expert
packer handles y, 900 of them in day,
packing 100 boxes at one cent per box
They are made of ash, beech, birch
and maple. The logs are cut into
lengths of thirty-one inches, these are
sawed into blocks, the blocks into
sticks and the sticks into shorter ones
the length of the clothes-pin, about five
and one-half inches. These are fed into
a lathe by an endless belt. The lathe
turns them into shape and passes them
along by a turn-table to saw which
cuts out the slot. When the machine
is through with them it drops them
into box or barrel. The pins are
then dried in a drying-house and then
put, twenty to forty bushels at once,
into slowly-revolving cylinder, and
the friction caused by their tumbling
about in this cylinder polishes them. A
single plant for making clothes pins
costs from 81 900 to 900 But what
becomes of the pins?-Good House

outlined in last weeks issue of this
Two Famous Pirates.

In the early years of this century,
when there were slave instructions in
the West Indies and wars for independ-
ence in Mexico, Central America and
South America, many people were
driven from their homes in these re-
gions and came to New Orleans as a
place of refuge. Among them were two
brothers, Pierre aud Jean LATTE. They
were Frenchmen born in Bayonne, but
they had lived for several years in the
West Indies. Both were tall, hand
some men, but Jean had the stronger
character. For time they carried on
the trade of blacksmithing. Their shop
stood on St. Philip street, between Bour-
bon and Dauphin. 1t was pulled down
only a few years ago. Bold and enter
prising in disposition, and of command
ing presence, the two brothers were
fitted by nature to be leaders Of men.
Jean especially was of an appearance 50
striking that strangers meeting Linn on
the streets Il rned for second look at
him. AT first they were only the agents
in New Orleans for smugglers who
brought merchandise and slaves into
the bays and bayous along the Louisi-
ana coast, but it was not long before
they became the chiefs of the most
powerful organization of lawless men
that ever existed in this country. In
1910 they made their headquarters on
the islands at the entrance of the Bay
of Barataria, where they built fort
and village. They obtained from the
Republic of Carthagenia, in south
America, then at war with Spain for its
independence, letters of marque which
authorized them to capture Spanish
vessels wherever found. They fitted
out and armed fast-sailng schooners
which were the terror of the Gulf.
According to common belief at the
time, these vessels were pirates, which
did not hesitate to pick up any mer-
chant-ship they could overhaul, no
matter what flag it might carry, but
| the Lafittes denied these reports and in
sisted that they were honorable pri-
vateersmen, only attacking the ships
of Spain, as, under the laws of nations,
their letters of marque gave them the
| right to do. That they were smugglers,
violating the laws of the United States,
they did not deny. In vain did Gov
ernor Claiborne issue proclamations,
commanding the people of Louisiana
to arrest the Laiittes and their men.
/ Jean and Pierre came often to New
Orleans and read the proclamations
posted on the walls of the old govern
ment building on the Place aux Armes.
| Once there was an effort made to ar
rest Jean, as he was passing through
bayou with boatoad of struggled
goods. A party of custom-house Of
ticers attacked him from the shore.
There was fight, and Jean and his
crew beat off their assailants. After
ward Jean sent polite letter to the
captain of the custom-house force, in
which he said: " | am man of peace,
and do not want to fight; but l would
have you to know that am at all times
ready to lose my life rather than my
goods. - Eugene Y. Smalley, IN st.
Nicholas.

How We Try to Rest.

How differently men and women in
dulge themselves in what is called a
resting-spell. 81 guess I'll sit down
and mend these stockings and rest
awhile" says the wife; but her hus-
band throws himself upon the easy
lounge or sits back in his armchair,
with hands at rest and feet placed hori-
zontally upon another chair. The re-
suit is that his whole body gains full
benefit of the half-hour he allows him
self from work, and the wife only re-
ceives that indirect help which comes
from change of occupation. A ply
stefan would tell her that taking even
ten minutes rest in a horizontal posi-
tion-as a change from standing or
sitting-from work would prove more
beneficial to her than any of her make
shifts at resting. Busy women have a
habit of keeping on their feet Just as
long as they can, in spite of backaches
and warning pains. AS they grow
older they see the folly of permitting
such drafts upon their strength and
learn to take things easier, let what will
happen. They say: 81 used to think
/ must do thus and so, but I've grown
wiser and learned to slight things. -
The first years of housekeeping are
truly the hardest, for untried and I'M
familiar cares are almost daily thrust
upon the mother and home-maker.-

Prolonged Life.

AS to the man for whose bath the ice
has to be broken on winter mornings,
who can deny that he is Incorporate in
the matter of cold water? And vet the
morning tub is indispensable to all
who wish to live a long and healthy
life. 1t is true that there have been
of this luxury, but their longevity has
been in spite of that fact, not because
of it. The bath is good, but not too
much bath. Walking is good, but it
must not be overdone. Dickens over
did it, Most of us, however, underdo it,
and scarcely walk enough. Flesh ac-
cumulates upon us in middle age be-
cause we do not take sufficient eXer-
else, and then we give up long walks
because we are stout and consequently
lazy, thus reversing the process of
cause and effect. The health sulfc 5
seriously, and the way is opened to many
maladies. People who assert that they
have not time to take long walks should
remember that they are probably cut
ting short their own time by refraining
from the needful exercise. Many peo-
pie take too much medicine. Morbid
persons with hypochoudriacal ten
denotes are always dosing themselves.
They apparently regard their own in
terror arrangement as a sort of puzzle
that has been badly put together, and
their efforts to sort things out with the
aid of pills and powders are but series
of experiments. Highly destructive to
cheerfulness is this frame of mind, and
cheerfulness is one of the best ends to
length of days. 1t is possible to cult
vate this quality, and in the interests of
those about us, no less than in our own,
it ought to be cultivated. 1t is sign
of healthy mind, and enables its pos
SCISSOR 10 a certain degree to shake off
worry, which is a terrible shortener of
human life. No one ever died of work,
but worry has killed its thousands.
There are many ways of avoiding i.
The chief is to live within ones income,
and thus escape the wearing cares that
come of debt and improvidence, avoid
ing anxiety for the future of those de-
pendent on us. A little voluntary self
denial saves mountain of it enforced
and inevitable, just as the proverbial
stitch in time saves nine.-LOndOn

possess them, but every one can pro-
cure this, and it will pay its cost in
short time. Almost all sinks are too
small for comfort, and their proportions
can be increased by placing at one end
board of the width of the sink and
two and half feet in length, letting it
rest upon the sink. Then have a rim
of board, four inches in height, screwed
round the sides and upper end. Raise
the end farthest from the sink and
have one end fastened securely to the
wall. Two or three not very deep
grooves should be cut into the shelf, so
that the water will drain off quickly.
As the dishes are washed place them on
this shelf, and when all are done turn hot
water over them to rinse, and then wipe
quickly. Dish-washing is an important
part of housekeeping, and good sup
ply of dish-cloths and wiping- towels
are indispensable. There should be
glass-towels, siver-towels, china-tow-
els and common dish and tin-towels.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucus surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-

from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-

is taken internally, and acts directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces of
