Ventilation.

Mrs Marion Thrashcr of California has
been making n special study of ventilation
and the air we breathe. Among her con
illusions she finds that there Is no founda.
ton for the popular prejudice against
night air. 1t does not differ chemically
from day air; it contains no nocturnal
germs or vapors, and on account of the
lesser activity of men, animals and vege-
tables 1t Is freer from dust, dirt and
spores than day air and is therefore more
healthful The worst breathing air she ran
across in her researches was in bedrooms,
children's bedrooms, small chapels and
courtAouses. In one courthouse (it might
have been that of New York;, she says the
atmosphere was deadler than the Judge s
charge in n murder case She recommends
the opening wide of the windows during
the sleeping hours of the night.-New

duction OF turpentine Is benefit to the
pine tree.-Meehan's Monthly.

A Little Lesson ON . Very Important Sub

Come, Charlie, want you to drive
few nails In the shed for me, said Nettis
TO her brother the other day.
Charlie was splitting wood at the time,
and the father, overhearing the request of
his daughter said;
why not drive them yourself?"
Because can't" she replied.
Because you can't" he responded.
"why, Mccarthy says there's no such
word In the book. Come here and I'll
show you how TO drive the all"
With hammer In one hand and nails In
the other he went into the shed, drove
few into the door and then gave the re-

thing to drive the nails and felt quite
proud of her achievement In the mechan-

shoes, get hard in the winter time for

Getting Fat In Five Minutes.

One of the most amusing and astonish-
ing OF pantomime tricks ever originated
was that of fat man. This was done by
the Ravels. One of the actors in the pan
tomime sits at table and ravenously eats
dish after dish of food that a servant brings
to him. Presently the man, who, like
most ravcnous eaters, was rather thin and
scraggy, begins to grow plump. His
clothes fit him exactly. His waistcoat
steadily swells out under the very eyes of
the audience. All the while he Is eating
like sausage machine. In few minutes
he has grown to be n giant, 3 or 9 feet
tall, and with the proportions of an infiat-
ed balloon.
The sight always brings forth roars of
laughter. 1t is comparatively easy TO
produce it after you know how. The food
eaten is all property food and Is made
of tissue paper that the actor chews up in
to little bits and takes out of his mouth
whenever occasion offers. His clothes are
all of rubber and made to fit alright
around the wrists and neck. In sitting
down he puts the heel of one boot over a
little trap in the stage. An assistant i'm
mediately couples a tube running from a
pair of bellows to q hole In the boot heel.
Then he blows him up.
1t must be a rather unpleasant sensation
to the actor To feel that he Is nothing more
than a windbag, but actors are made to
suffer. BY the time the suit has grown
to its full size the wind supply Is cut off
and the boot heel plugged up. Then, by
an ingenious arrangement OF springs I'M
der the actors feet, the height Is acquired.
There is beautiful chance in this trick
for some practical joke loving man to
blow in gas that would lift the unfortu-
nate actor off his feet and send him sailing
about over the heads of the audience

Left Handed Girls and the Piano.

A girl who is left handed can learn to
play the piano as brilliantly as one who
has no such apparent drawback. The
method is simple. Let her practice right
hand exercises with the left hand and left
hand exercises with the right. 1t will be
awkward for long time, but If she will
persist in this course she may even excel
players whom she has long envied. The
advice comes from a music teacher of ex-
perience who has been particularly success
full with left handed pupil.

I've got his likeness as near as can
Who takes bad boys and girls to land
Whose exact position you'll understand.

Make apple pie beds, sew up my nightgown,

Which played myself from the age OF six!
His foot isn't Trilbyesque but his eyes

And his hands could give you shocking grip.
And look at the length of his upper lip!

Turning an III Wind to Advantage.

In Barton, Rice, Stafford and Ellsworth
counties, in central Kansas, millions of
grasshoppers swarm In the fields where
wheat has been harvested. Farmers are
gathering these winged insects and feed
ing them to their hogs. The farmers
make a frame of an old header rugged up
with canvas screen running over two roll
ers. The machine Is driven over the field,
and the hoppers fly against the canvas and
rollers and are killed. Then they are
shoveled into a wagon and fed to the hogs.

One year ago the country was in the
| midst. of the Debs conspiracy. Chicago
was practically in the hands of the mob
associates to stop the running Of all the
railroads of the country until the man
ayers should adopt measures which
would compel the Pullman company to
re-employ all the men who worked in its
shops when they struck. The freight
traffic of the West had been stopped,
and the authorities in scores OF cities
der Debs's orders. Violence had already
taken place; tracks had been torn up;
cars had been derailed. and in Chicago
cars and railroad buildings had been
given to the flames. Thousands of fed
eral troops had been sent to Chicago,
and a year ago to-day Judge Woods is
sued the injunction directing Debs and
his associates to cease interfering with
the operating of the railroads. Timid
people were filled with forebodings and
persistent ranters did their utmost to
rally the masses to resist the authorities
in the enforcement of the laws. There
were those almost who saw the end of
the Republic. The situation did seem
perilous, but, considering the conserva-
tive forces which control the country
and the unerring judgment of the sober
second thought of the masses. IL was not

they now are. Recently there has been
an effort to form all1those states into a
general government like that of the
United States. 1t has temporarily failed
because the executive Of one of the
states has refused to favor the plan; but
if that union had been warmly espoused
by the United States and it's moral infiu-
ence had been employed to bring about
such federation, those states would
now. in all probability, be fused into one
general government. That such a union
would prove blessing to the
Central American people there can
be no doubt since the very
fact of power which such a
union carried would raise them to a
higher plane. To the most ignorant peo-
pie a nationality which means numbers
and power lis an inspiration. The fact
that Russia is a. nation of one hundred

OF the millions of those who are little

sentiment of nationality. Moreover, the
tendency Of the age is toward the fusing
of smaller states into nations.
The Fourth of July is the appropriate
day for intelligent American people to
consider the duty of this Republic
toward it's less fortunate and feeble sis
tiers on this continent. Does not our
position and power impose duty to help
them, or at least to cause 1T to be under

attained by independence, and which. by
cooperation and encouragement, they
may reach. or. at least, strive for. This
Nation now occupies the position and
possesses the power-to declare to Euro
pean governments that they must not
take liberties with the territory of any
of the American republics, and that in
their diplomatic dealings with them
they must treat these feeble republics as
they would treat the United States. In
other words, to the extent that their ter
ritorial right shall not be interfered
with, and that they shall not be OPP
pressed because they are weak, the
United States guarantees them protec-
ton. Such a policy seems the logical

great Republic. aatc

but they are improving. There is no
considerable number of people of fair in
telligence opposed to the enforcement of
the laws. The dangerous element are
not the mobs of violence, but the mobs
who vote in large cities, and even these
are less dangerous than they have been
in previous years. The performance of
Debs and his associates has created a
powerful reaction against violent meth
DDS. Never has there been so general
regard for lawful methods and so gen
eral respect for law and it's enforce
ment.
However much the general public was
perturbed year ago by the exhibition
of the power of lawlessness, all careful
observers now realize that its lessons
were most salutary, and will not be for
gotten for some time. Even those who
were leaders in the Debs conspiracy
have since admitted that violence is not
remedy and will not be resorted to
again. The disputes between those who
think their interests clash must be set
tied by other agencies-largely by the
cultivation of mutual confidence AS the
result of the tumult and conflicts of a
year ago, which eliminated on the
Fourth Of July. law and order in this
country were never before on so firm
