FRESH AIR As A IONIC.
1t Is More ysiusb BILE than "a Whole Chext
kuit of Drugs.

An interesting fresh-air experiment
was recently tried with wonderful sue
cess at 4 children's hospital in New
York. A number Of the little inmates
of the place had been ailing for some
time with indigestion and lack Of nu-
triton, and as 4 last resort the expert
ment referred TO vas tried bv the ply
stefan in charge. The babies were
wrapped up rs for the street and were
then taken into 4 large room where
all the windows were open and had
been opened for tw~entv-four hours
previous. Here they were kept for
from two to four hours daily for a
number of weeks. At the end of that
time all of the babies showed wonder
full improvement and not one of them
took cold. The weakest of them had
bottles OF hot water placed at their
feet, but the others were simply at
tired in their ordinary street clothes.
The doctor who tried this plan SAYS
hat he has no doubt that many of the
ailments of grown people, as we'll as
children, could be treated by the same
method with like success. Women,
especially, he said, we're often made
i'll through nothing else than a lack Of
pure air.
1t is certain that there are many
women who through the long winter
months rarely breathe pure air. Stay
ing closely at home because they are
afraid they will take cold if they 90
out, they feel every chill wind, and are
afflicted with headache and morbid
ness and sundry ailments which would
disappear if they would make it a
habit of going out somewhere every
day for q walk. Working women who
are obliged to be out every day, no
matter what the weather may be, are
usually in far better health than The
woman who a stay at home and who
does so day after day, only getting as
much fresh air as comes through the
furnace register or an occasional OPEN
ing of a window. 1t is no wonder that
they are afflicted with nerves and
moods" and the like-that they be-
come disconnected and "blue." There
is nothing like a walk in the open air
for the cure Of such woes.
Now that the fine weather has com
menced, try this plan aud see if it
does not help YOU, my woman friend.
Get out every day. Don't always 20
shopping or down the street, but 20
out of the city limits and find where
the wild flowers are beginning to
spring up. If you can not attempt so
long a walk take any OF the city street
car lines and ride as far as you can on
them and then get out and walk.
There are meadows and woods and
charming spots all around this dear
city, and all the joys they offer can be
yours for the finding.

WITH YOUR HEAD TO TIE NORTH.
The Proper Way tn Sleep According to
some Medical authorities.

There appears to be foundation for
the idea that sleeping with head point
ed northward is beneficial. Many peo-
ple claim TO have been benefited by
observing the rule, and a London ed
itor is quoted BY the Brooklyn Eagle
as saving recently: Years ago l saf-
fered from nervous irritation and con-
seauent loss OF sleep. | fancied | slept
better in certain rooms than in others,
and, after trying to ascertain why,
came to the conclusion that a great
deal depended upon the position of the
bed. For twenty-five years ! had my
bed placed with the head to the north,
or as neal that point as | can get, and
have found great advantage in doing
So"
In 1882 a writer in the Recue PhiiO-
sophique said: SIS there then, an
agency capable of exercising a con-
tinuous action on the apparatus of the
nerves, varying with the position of
the head? To my mind this agency
exists and is none other than terrestrial
magnetism. 1t is beyond dispute that
ralyanic currents not only exercise a
powerful effecton our nervous system,
but that electro magnets themselves
produce well marked effects IN certain
nervous affections" To this the au-
thor adds the note; 81 have this fact
from NJ. Nordstrom. Swedish con-
sui at AIger: DR.. Julius Won dem
Fischweiler, a physician at Madge-
burg, who died lately, asserts in his
will that his own great age (109 years.
is to be ascribed entirely to his con-
slant habit of sleeping with his head to
the north. Probably the benefits to
be derived from the position Of ones
bed are wholly imaginary, but many
persons have tried it and testify to a
sense Of benefit from the change to
that position from a previous one. A
very eminent physician said on this
subject: My opinion is that it is a
piece of nonsense worthy of some SUI
perstitious old lady. / would rank it
with fortune telling and table wrap
ping" Hindoos, Russians and Japan
csc are opposed to sleeping with their
heads to the north, but their OBJ
jections are based on superstitious
grounds.

MOLES ON THE FACE.
A Disagreement Which May BE Easily
Removed with the Aid of Electricity.

Il cannot tell you why so many peo-
pie wear moles on their faces" said n
physician to a writer for the Washing
ton star. 1t has always been a mys-
terry to me. They are certainly very
disliguring. One often sees a woman
otherwise good-looking, with an un-
slightly eXcrescence on her chin or lip,
perhaps with a tuft OF hairs growing
out of it. Now, why should that be?
There is certainly no reason for put
ting up with such a disagreement
nowadays. 1t can easily be removed
by well-kuown surgical processes. II
it were necessary TO resort to the knife
the slight scar left would be infinitely
less ugly. Such an operation is al
most painless. the mole being cut in
two down the middle and eXtirpated
in a moment. incidentally, the hairs
are removed permanently by the de-
struction Of the f~ollicles from which
they grow. But there is a simpler
and better method than that which
a usually be applied. A needle con-
nected with one pole of an electric
battery is thrust gently down into The
center of the eXcrescence. Then the
current is turned on for Il brief IN
slant, heating the needle white hot,
and it destroys the root Of the mole.
There is very little pain involved, aud
it is adj oven in a moment Moles. like
warts, are abnormal de ,elopments of
the skin. The root being destroyed
the growth is atrophied and quickl"
disappears, never TO return. Some
times you will see a mole in an adj
vanced stage of development, which
is attached to the skin only by a very
narrow neck. 10 dispose Of it is the
simplest matter in the world. Here
is a little instrument, which, as YOU
will observe, consists of nothing more
than a tube main. The only way to
extirpate them is by the electric pee-
die. which is thrust down into the bot
tom of each f~ollicle, a slight current
destroying the root. ! have known
women to 20 to great expense to have
excessive growths of hairs removed
from their arms in order that they
might wear evening dress. B%ruuettes
are much more apt to be troubled in
that way than blondes"

They Soon Learn to Feel Abused.

There is something in the atmos-
phere of government employ which
makes the s~crvator feel abused. Meas
ured bv ordinary standards, the work
required is not hard. Six and q half
hours a day six days a week is less
time than is required of a large major
itv of I%oilers. Nevertheless dissatis-
faction treads closely u@1n the heels
of appointment. Aman who has been
used TO ten hours a day of hard labor
obtains a chieftainship OF division. He
is paid 81, 900 year, which is in the
neighborhood of SC q day, or $40 a
week. For a time his task seems
child's play. Contrasted with his
former labors he has not enough to do
to keep him busy. In two months
time he will have developed into a
confirmed growler. Complaint is ever
on his lip. He regards himself rs OPP
pressed. He does not resign, but
lakes it out in grumbling. Queer!-

A drug is used in New China which
in actual value far surpasses anything
which has been known in other lands.
The substance in question is called
ginseng and is the root of Aralia quin-
quefolia. 1t is so highly valued as a
tonic and stimulant medicine in China
that is is sold at from 20 to $50 times
its weight in silver, sometimes for 500
times that amSunt. Authorities state,
however. that it possesses no impor-
tant medicinal properties. Next to
China the drug is produced in good
quality in Corea and is the principal
article Of export from Corea into
China. So much is this the cast that
the Coreans are 10th to part with any
seeds Of the plant lest their practical
monopoly in this root should be in
vaded.
Perhaps. however, the foreign sub
stitutes OF the real product, ginseng,
which reach the Chinese markets from
North America and elsewhere, inter-
iere with the native production. But
with silver in one scale and portions
II the highly esteemed root in the 9TH
- it seems reasonable to conclude
that the cultivation of the Aralia
,uinquefolia IN north China would be
Iemunerative whatever the cost and
trouble. -Pcars0a's Weekly.

The Brain.

The human brain Is one of the most
delicate, most wonderful, most marvel
Gus structures that the mind can con-
ceive. It is an engine which IS only a
few inches in diameter, the average
weight Of which is less than fly ounces,
which contains hundreds Of millions Of
cells and fbers, these cells and ibers va
rying in thickness from On-three-hun-
dredth 10 Oone-millionth of an inch. Ev-
cry square inch Of gray matter affords
substrata for the evolution Of at least
eight thousand registered and separate
ideas; slbstrztz in the whole, brain for
evolving and registering tens Of millions
OF them, besides the power of recalling
them under appropriate stimulus; it
transmits thoughts, emotions, sensation
and volition by distinct ibers, whose
time working has ingeniOusly measured
to the fraction of second. This most
wonderful and beautiful piece Of mech
anism, then, that works 80 smoothly, 50
easily, and without friction and pain
when in order and not oyerburdened,
needs only to be abused and overtsxed
in order to nave the nutrition Of every
part Of the body disturbed, and the fune-
tiOns Of the various organs rendered
morbid. 1t needs only certain amount
Of nervous exhaustion, varying with diff
ferent people, to open the inro sds of fnen-
ralgiz and its brood Of tormenis, and 70
many forms Of reflex nervous SYMPTOMS
that render life burden.
