Specialists Ant to BE Ono Sided.

Experto crede is sound advice, and nine
ty-something times out of Il hundred we
take it and do well. The other odd times
either we take it and don't do well, or we
take it with misgivings, or we don't take
it at all The worlds experience has taught
that in certain kinds of cases the wisdom
that has finally justified itself has been the
wisdom of the unlearned. The babes and
sucklings of knowledge have hit upon the
truth that the doctors have not been able
to see. And SO ordinarily sagacious people
come to make instructive allowance for the
plejudices of learning, as they do for what
the unlearned don't know A valuable
pocket of knowledge on some particular
line of investigation is often acquired, like
ambergris in whales, at the cost of con
siderable degeneration of the rest of the
creature.
Even so great a man as Darwin had to
give up such intellectual valuables as his
taste for music and his interest in religion
in exchange for what he learned about
deep sea fishes and the habits of earth
worms. Medical specialists especially
come in for a degree of chastened mistrust,
and are in danger of being regarded as in
telectual cripples whose minds, from too
incessant application to one class of phe-
nomena, get list, as the mariners say, in

Of youngsters that looked old enough to
pay full fare. The conductor asked their
age. "Ten and eleven" the lady replied.
On the conductors face there was a look

disprove her statement then. Later on the
boys went into the smoking car. and there
the genial conductor in due time found
them.
They had a chat about lot of things,
and during the chat each boy told in what
year he was born. 1t was only a matter of
subtraction to learn that one boy was fif
teen and the other seventeen.
The conductor went back to the lady and
blandly demanded the balance of the fare,
saying, "Your boys were born on such and
such days, and are fifteen and seventeen.

OvercOnscientiOus,

That strain of morbidity in the Puritan
conscience which supplied Hawthorne with
motives is curiously active today in the
descendants of some of the old Puritan
families. There is one family in which it
has persisted in n manner as tragic us it is
interesting The father, in the days when
men made income tax returns, used to put
his in, withdraw it, file it again and per-
haps again withdraw it, tortured lest he
had not been scrupulously honest. This
excess Uf conscience preyed upon his health
and he finally shot himself.
When his three boys grew up they went
to their grandfather and asked him not to
leave them any more money, but to give it
to their nieces and cousins who had not SO
much as themselves. In one of these boys,
good and lovable both in character and
person, early developed the morbid con-
science. 1t tcok the form of remorse at the
numbers of insects he must have killed.
Such a destroyer Of life had no right to live,
he argued. He was fond of riding and kept
several horses.
Finally he gave up riding lest his horse
might step on and crush beetle. Even this
precaution did not allay his sense of guilt,
and he at last shot himself.
His brother, the possessor of splendid
fortune, devotes his life to teaching, not for
money, but in the hope of impressing
young boys with the sense Of the impor-
tance of becoming upright citizens.-New

Cooking Drinking Water.

"Cook your water as you do your food" !"
is the advice of well known physician.
This is really not difficult to manage if the
affair is systematized, and when properly
filtered and aerated boiled water is as
bright, sparkling and agreeable to the
taste as any other. There are filters that
come especially for aerating water as well
as filtering it, aid if servants are accus
toned to fill the filter regularly the daily
provision of water in this way becomes as
much part of the household machinery
as the cooking, and one has always the
satisfaction of knowing that water pre-
pared in this way is perfectly safe.
1t must be borne in mind, however, that
the temperature of water just brought to II
boil is not sufficient to destroy bacteria
thirty minutes steady boiling is the rule

Sailors and Ships Lost at Sea.

How many people know that over 4.400
British seamen are lost at sea every year,
that over $50 human lives are lost on
American vessels during the same period.
and that six vessels are wrecked OF lost
every day in the year? Yet carefully pre-
pered statistics prove that these figures,
appalling though they are, truthfully
represent the mortality in the merchant
marine. The British board of trade stated
some years ago that the calling of n British
sailor was more hazardous than that Of
any other in which Englishmen were en-
gagged Data is not obtainable to prove
that this is also true of the American mer-
chant marine, but students of the subject
do not doubt that it would apply.-Provi-

A Peculiar Fact About Would BE Suicide

A Peculiar Fact About Would BE Suicides.
"Did you ever notice that as rule the
persons who seek death and are rescued
from the grave never court the society of
the dark angel again?"
The propounder of the question was a
hospital physician, and he proceeded to ex-
plain without waiting for an answer:
"What | mean is that of all the persons
who attempt suicide and are foiled, but
few try self murder a second time. Prob
ably one-half, if not more, of all those who
try to kill themselves arc frustrated. The
percentage of those who leap into the dark
river a second time is exceedingly small
/ have tried to discover the reason for this
from the lips of those who have gone
through the terrible experience, but have
not met with success.
"1t is queer that persons, after devoting
weeks and months to consideration of so
momentous question and deciding to end
their existence, should, when foiled, de-
clare that they were fools and swear never
to do the like again. Yet this is what is
done in n large majority of instances.
Those who have stared at death seem to
live life anew. The past is effaced; new
light seems to have dawned The sun
shine is dearer; the air is purer 1t is the
convalescent taking great drafts of the out
door air with u keenness of relish that was
unknown before. Chicago Tribune.

A MINUTE PARCEL OF REAL ESTATE.
Transaction In u California Sale That
Did Not Require Much Money.


Did Not Require Much Money.
Talking about funny real estate tran.
ssctions,n said real estate man the other
day, II think about the funniest, and GER,
tainly the most unique, took place In San
Diego, CAL II was at n delinquent tax
sale, which Is conducted ON the principle
Of reducing bids. That is to say, the tax
collector must accept the bid of the man
who will pay the delinquent taxes and
take the least fraction of the lot in pay
ment therefor. Theoretically you might
suppose bidder wouldn't be willing to
take fraction intrinsically worth less than
the taxes he would have to pay; but prac-
tically that consideration doesn't come In
at all, since his ownership of even an in
fnitesimal portion of the lot prevents any
one else from getting a clear title to It, and
In that way he is amply secured for the
amount of taxes he pays.
For this reason rival bidders at these
sales are in the habit of bidding for ex-
ceedingly small fractions of lots, until
some time ago 1t was thought the limit
had been reached when n man bid for the
one-thousandth of an inch of u lot. But
the transaction | refer to made that bid
seem gigantic in comparison.
"The bidders We're three men named
Payne, Frame and Kipp, and Tax Collector
Kennedy began the proceedings by read
ing, Lot A, block 76i, New San Diego;
taxes due, $i6.35.' Payne began by saying
that he would take the whole lot. This
was followed by series of reducing bids
until Kipp called out. 'One-thousandth OF
an inch One hundred thousantth,' said
Payne In tone Of triumph, feeling that
that was the limit, but IT proved to be
miles above It.
lone millionth, said Frame. One bill
lonth,' suavely remarked Kipp. One
trillionth,' called out Frame, as he got
ready to put up the money. One quintil-
lionth,' bawled out Kipp.
Let's see,' said Frame, trying to re-
member his arithmetic. Never mind the
next two steps, I'll run her down to one
octillionth,' AS he looked around in tri-
umph You haven't touched bedrock yet,'
said Kipp, who was up in arithmetic. 'Pli
pay the taxes for one vigintillionth of an
inch Of the lot. is there anything lower
than thatT said Frame in despair No.
SIR replied Kipp; I've got you; that is
the lowest figure in the arithmetic, and
you can't bid lower And us Mr. Kennedy
agreed with him, Kipp was declared the
successful bidder.
"Then came the question how this as
founding sale should be recorded. Every
one gave it up, until finally an arithmetic
was hunted up, and it was decided that
one vigintillionth of an inch should be ex-
pressed decimally in this way: 900, 900, ,OOO,-
900 600 OO0 0O0 00O, 900 OO0 900 600 OOO OOO OOO,
OK, ,0o0, ,oo0, 900, ooo, ,OO0,0ol. A strip of land
one vigintilliouth of an inch in width is
not very wide, not even wide enough to
build New York fiat house on But it is
plenty wide enough to throw good sized
shadow on the title to the property. New

Before the end of the Seventh century
needlework was carried to great perfection
in converts, where it was used for the EN-
bellishment of the church and the decora-
tion of priestly robes Artists did not think
it beneath their dignity to trace the pat
terms used for embroidery in their natural
colors. A certain religious lady, wishing
to embroider sacerdotal vestment, asked
no less parsonage than st. Dunstan, then
young man, but already noted for his
artistic skill and taste, to draw the flowers
and figures which she afterward worked
in gold thread.-Woman's Work.
