A Cool Bed.

In Florida, where the heat is almost as
unbearabls at night as in the day, it is
not unusual to ice the beds before retir-
ing to rest. This is done in very SIM
pie way. A metal vessel or pot, much in
the form of the ancient warming-pan
used by our grandfathers, is filled with
broken ice, and, after standing until the
ice has completely cooled the vessel, it is
placed between the sheets and moved to
and fro over the surface of the sheets
and pillows until they are quite cold.
This GOODNESS Of the bedclothes is very
soothing to the heated and wearied
body, and invariably induces immediate
sleep.-Philadelphia Press.

TRENCH JUVENILE LITERATURE.
1t 10 PFim to the Extreme Of Inslpidlty,
According to Mime. Blanc.

1t 10 Prim to the Extreme Of lnslpidlty,
According to Mime. Blanc.
Literature in our country, not having
as its aim either instruction or amuse-
ment, but the production of works of
art, is forbidden to French children. I
except fairy-tales. Ferrault has written
masterpieces; Nine. d'Aulnoy and
others have followed him; the fairies
of other countries may have been more
poetic, but they have never been as
witty as the French. Leaving fairy
tales aside, children were obliged for
q long time to be satisfied with the
very slight collection bequeathed by
Berguin. Bouilly, Nine. de Genlis, those
clever people who know how to coat
q moral lesson with athin layer of
pictures, as bitter pills are coated with
sugar. In fact, this is the French par
ents' very ideal in the matter Of story
books, and to please them the lesson
must not be too we'll coated, or hard
to find, for the spirit of Investigation is
not encouraged in young readers.
During the past 20 years, however,
the meager library at their disposal has
grown wonderfully; celebrated pens
have contributed toward it; we need
but mention Jules Verne, whose scien-
tiflc fairy-tales have, alas! almost COM
pletely dethroned those that appealed
to the imagination alone. But neither
in his books, nor in those of any of his
competitors, will you ever find what
both English and American writers
currently permit themselves to do,
namely, to arraign relative, as, for in
stance, tho wicked uncle in "Kid-
naped," or to make teachers hateful,
or merely ridiculous, as is the case in
Dickens works. This would be an out
rage upon the respect due them in the
aggregate For this reason TRANSACTIONS
are nearly always eNpurgated. The
friendly adoption OF poor Laurie by the
four girls in "Little Women" would be
considered very unseemly. Yet, for all
that, they were good little New England
girls. T. B. Aldrich's "Story Of Bad
Boy" was deprived of one Of its prettiest
chapters, the one about his childish love
for a big girl. 1T is useless" they say,
ito draw attention to that kind of
danger"
Authors and editors are often greatly
perplexed before this severe tribunal
Of French parents. The difference be-
tween the books children are allowed
to read in France and those sought by
their elders, the contrast between the
tasteless pap on one side and the internal
spiciness on the other, must greatly
astonish both English and American
readers, who nearly all accept the same
literary diet, young and old, parents
and children.-Thomas Benton, in
Century.

BEWARE OF soFT-shELL GRABS
Peculiar Parts to Be Regarded by Those
Who Eat Thorn.

AS0DoAOV~A
Who Eat Them.
There is no danger in eating soft
shelled crabs" observed an epicure, IF
they are fresh, but TIL are poison if
they are not They should be well sea-
soned, and an extra lot of pepper put
on them as precaution, especially il
the weather is very hot when they are
eaten, or if they are eaten shortly be-
fore one retires. 1t is the habit of many
persons to eat soft-shelled crabs att
night time. I do not know but that they;
taste better then. It 10 somewhat dam
gerous to many to drink milk after eat
ing crabs. Milk seems to develop the
collie that follows eating sott-shelled
crabs with some persons.
"Another thing that should be re-.
membered, and that is that q sharp
thunderstorm will kill soft-shelleld
crabs, and even the hard-shelled crabs
at times. Unless the soft-shelled crab
had been cooked before tho thunder
storm, think the safer plan would be
to decline to eat it. Under all other
there 10 no danger in partak-
ing of them, for do not think anyone
would be criminal enough to cook a
dead crab, hard or soft shell. The
proper way to kill crab is to throw.
him into a kettle of boiling water. T
know that some people think this 10
cruel, but it is no more cruel than to
stab them with q needle or kill them
with chloroform, as have known some
extra sensitive persons to do"

CHANGE OF AIR.
A Favorite Last Resort of Eighteenth
Century Physicians

A Favorite Last Resort of Eighteenth
Century Physicians.
A very favorite last resort of the
eighteenth century physician was to
send patient to visit the place of his
birth, since it was thought that natal
air" would be likely to prove peculiarly
beneficial. This last theory, although
somewhat ludicrous when viewed from
our modern standpoint, strikes me as
being somewhat more than mere piece
of plausible empiricism. Itshows that,
in spite Of their terrible faith in physic,
the doctors of those days did not lose
sight of the Importance of conforming
to natures programme.
Although the beneficial effect OF sea
voyages was to some extent recognized,
it is easy TO understand that the ships
of the seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turtles, damp and stuffy below and pro-
visioned with salt junk and hard bis
cults, scarcely gave a broken down in
valid fair chance of deriving any great
amount of good from a change of air
taken under such conditions.
Generally speaking, we now consider
that sea and mountain air owes it's viz
tue to it's freedom from organic impure
ties. Probably it is this quality more
than any other which gives it its reviv"
ing effect on those who have been living
in the clogged and polluted atmosphere
of large towns. Yetpurity of the atmos-
phere per sc is no preventive OF those
very ailments which bring the majority
of patients to seaside watering places
and highland sanitariums. If any in
valid who has thus 6ought relief were to
take careful note Of the natives OF his
favorite health resort he would proba-
bly, be disquieted to find that pale, sick
~ children and ailing adults were by no
means uncommon. Patients with weak
lungs are often sent to winter in Devon
and Cornwall, although the mortality
from pulmonary diseases among the
permanent residents of these favored
countries is not q whit less than among
the dwellers in the midlands and the
north. Yet the undoubted fact remains
to be- accounted for that such migrants
to warmer clinics almost always derive
marked benefit from the change.-Na-
tional Review.

to the contrary effect is in possession
Of the court. Because, my friend" ID

Ii Hung Chang and . Sowing Machine.
While in London Ii Hung Chang Wis
tied sewing machine works, where he
found much to interest him. The man
ager of the works was closely ques-
toned regarding the working OF the
machine, the quality Of the thread
used, and even the kind Of oil for lubri-
cation. It was not enough for Ii Hung
Chang to see the machine in operation;
he had to work it himself. He passed a
piece of white linen through the mo-
chine and stitched it with great care
md marvellous neatness. He asked the
price of the machine and sought after
more detail. Was the machine covered
when not in use? Yes. Some speci-
mems of fancy work were shown-a fig
ure of q royal Highlander worked in
thread. and lovely specimen of work
in the form of peacock's tail in all
its wondrous color. His excellency Ii
betrayed deep interest in the peacock's
tail, but even that could not lure him
from the sewing machine. He sat down,
and whiting cigarette, worked the
treadles with amazing energy. He ex-
pressed himself anxious to purchase q
machine, but it was explained that the
firm would rather present him with one.
After some pressure he consented to &C.
cept the gift, and it was arrangedto send
the machine to Shanghai. A machine
is also to be specially constructed and
forwarded to the empress of China.

INSECTS ON MT. WASHINGTON.
Nine Hundred Species at the Height Of
Over q Mile.

Nine Hundrsd Species at tho Height Oh
Over Mile.
The list of insects found in the AL
pine region of Mount Washington
contains names of more than 900 spe-
cies of insects captured on the noun
tain. all taken from $500 feet altitude.
Mrs. Slosson has been twice to the SUM-
init this season, spending two weeks
here early in July and nine days in Au'
gust. She has captured many addi'
tional species, perhaps 100 in all. These
represent all the different orders of in
sects: Lepidoptera butterflies and
moths), coeoptera (beetles), hymen-
optera (bees, wasps, ants, etc.,, diptera
Caies), neuroptera dragon f1ies).
Eemiptera (bugs), and arachnidaa
(spiders and mites). Some Of them
have been named for the mountains on
which they were found, others for their
discoverer. Thus, large fly is 'De-
geeria Westinghouse" and an ichneu-
mon is "Meniscus Slossonae." Others
bear as a specific name "Alpinum,"
.'Afontanus" or "Borealis,' to suggest
their cold mountainous birthplace.
Some of the most common and home
ly kinds OF creatures are of interest to
the naturalist. A large red mite, re-
lated to what is popularity known as tho
fred spider" of house plants, IS very
common on this summit. But it was
never noticed or described until Mrs.
Slosson found it three years ago and
sent it to specialist learned in such
matters. He found it was a new spe-
cies, though nearly related to certain
mites found upon the Alps and other
European mountains.
But one species of daddy longlegs"
has been found upon the summit. This
was discovered by Mrs. Slosson two
years ago and named by specialist
'.Montanum." It is very common, run
ming over the rocks and on the ground,
but had somehow escaped the notice Of
entomologists until Mrs. Slosson's dis
covery. Spiders are numerous, as every
stone when turned over discloses
beetles and other insects, while on
warm, still days the air is filled with
gauzy wings and gayly colorcd slender
bodies, lowering, soaring and flutter-
ing about.
The contributions which Mrs. Slos-
son is making to the science Of ento-
mology by her Investigations will be
most highly appreciated by experts and
students. But it is also most interest
ing to the general public to gain addi-
tional information as to the peculiar
character of this high region. Its in
sect and vegetable and floral life, so en-
tirely different from that Of any other
spot in New England, affords the most
prolific subject for study.-Above the

About Game.

Sam Fullerton, executive agent Of
the game commission, says that the ef-
feet of the law prohibiting shipment of
venison out of the state has been to de-
crease the amount of poaching and in
fact the number of deer killed by IS
per cent. This estimate appears to be
a little high, though Mr.. Fullerton has,
of course, the best facilities for obtain
ing figures of a reliable sort.
Fullerton now proposes to 60 step
farther with his prohibitive legislation.
He is of the opinion that this state can
not afford to sell any game or game fish
outside its own borders. Moreover,
that the only way to put the game
supply where it ought to be is totally
to prohibit the sale of all game, includ-
ing trout and black bass.

X-Rays.


Professor Fred Jones of the uni YER
sity department of physics. assisted by
Instructor Zeleny. recently located
bullets in the neither extremities of
two patients of the St. Paul city hos
pital, using the x-rays. George David
son, one of the patients, has carried a
bullet in his leg for three years, but
it has been impossible to locate it.
The x-ray photograph showed it to be
lying on the fbula on the opposite side
from which it entered, three inches
below the knee. Samuel Chase was
shot only two weeks ago, but it was to
locate the bullet. which the rays
showed to have stopped at the head of
the tibia in the edge of the knee joint.
With the aid of these photographs
there will be no trouble in success
fully extracting the bullet
