When you undertake to convey a

He purchased pedometer, an in

meter used for measuring the dis
lance travelled in a buggy or on a

into the bottom of the boys pocket,
among the marbles, nails, Irvine,
knives and other bric-a-brac there
collected. It's additional weight was
not noticed for a few days, and in
that time it did its work.
The first day the Instrument regis

days record was 10 81 miles; the
third, rainy day, l-2; the fourth,

The family were astonished at the
result, and thereafter, when any one
complained of walk of mile or so
nobody pooh-poohed louder than
Bob. One other noticeable result
was that Bob got his monthly pair
of shoes without the usual lecture on
the sin of wearing them out so fast.

Berlin Public Kitchen.

A public kitchen for the working
classes was inaugurated in 1866 by
German woman, Han Morgenstein.
She has established many of these
kitchens, each one having a public
dining room, comfortably warmed
and furnished and supplied with the
daily papers. Each kitchen, supply
ing perhaps from 800 to 400 people
with daily meals, is managed by
local committee, the whole scheme
being under the control of a central
council. All the paid cooks are on
the premises by 6 in the morning,
and the vegetables and meat have
been brought in before them.
Waste OF any kind is strictly for
hidden. A subscription of $3,250
was sufficient to start this scheme !;

If You Burn Yourself.

The pain from slight burns is very
great. An excellent application is a
thick paste of common baking soda
moistened with water, spread on a
piece of linen or cotton, and bound
on the part, writes Elizabeth Robin
son Scoyil, in an article on "What
10 do in Emergencies in the La
dies Home Journal. This can be
kept wet by squeezing water on it
from sponge or cloth until the
smarting is soothed.
A thick coating of starch can be
used instead of the soda, or wheat
flour if nothing better can be had,
but neither should be applied if the
skin is broken. In this case it is
better to use vaseline, olive or lin
seed oil. The doctor will apply
some preparation containing carbolic
acid.
If the air can be effectually exclud-
ed from burn the pain is relieved.
Blisters should be pricked and the
fluid absorbed with soft cloth be-
fore dressing.
If the clothing adheres to the skin
the loose part should be cut away
and the patches OF material soaked
of with oil or warm water.
When the injury is extensive the
sufferer will be Frustrated and may
die from the shock. Heat should be
applied to the extremities and over
the heart, and hot drinks given until
the doctor comes.
In burns from strong acid the
part should be covered with dry
baking soda or lime, as the alkali
will neutralize the acid. No water
should be used, but cosmoline or oil
applied after the alkali has been
brushed of.
When the burn has been caused
by an alkali an acid must be used.
A person recovering from the effects
of burn requires very nourishing
food.

Nervous Singers.

The effects of nervousness are
varied and amusing. One young
mezzo soprano was prevented just in
time from walking on the platform
in huge pair of fur lined oyershoes,
which were put on above her slip
pers, and which contrasted comically
with her dainty gown.
Another songstress, who was gift.
ed with good verbal memory, was
singing without note. During rath-
err elaborate symphony preceding the
second verse of her song she CHANGED
idly to glance at the book of words
which she was holding. Confusion
followed. She could not link the
melody with the poem. 1t was a
terrible moment, but she stepped
swiftly to the piano, glanced at the
accompanies copy and finished her
song con amore. 1t appeared on in.
spection that by printers error
two lines OF her song had been left
out of the book Of words. This had
confused her and was the cause Of
her failure to blend words and music
together-Atlanta.

A Point on Imports.


During the year before the Nc
Kinley law went into operation, only
one-third of the imports into the
United States was admitted free, and
two'thirds were subject to tariff du-
ties, the figures being "a per cent. of
the total imports free and 66 per
cent dutiable. The proportion of
free imports during that year was
above the average Of the seven years
during which the tariff law of 1883
was in operation.
A great change was wrought in
this respect by the Mckinley law.
Under its provisions more than half
the imports into the United States
are admitted free of duty and less
than one-half are subject to duties.
Thus the governments report Of i'm
ports for the seven months to Feb
ruary /, 1894, show: Free of duty,
S2O4 ,943,749, or $3.50 per cent; du-
table, 1906, 32l, or 45.ll per
cent.
And yet the Mckinley law gives
more complete protection than the
law of 1888. 1t placed on the free
lief inynrtc of artioIas urb;ob wa do
not produce at all, or cannot pro-
duce in quantities sufficient for our
needs--sugar, for instance; and
placed on articles of the same kind
as we can and do produce enough to
supply our wants. The Wilson bill
takes the opposite plan. Now let us
see whether the people will like its
operations, when compared with the
I Mckinley bill,-Toledo Blade,
