A Question Often Out of Place and Oa

The old hymn in Sam TayIor's
"Original Poems" beginning with Who
Ran to Help Me When l Fell?" ought
to have provisional clause added TO it.
The person who hastens to help suf-
ferer who has been shocked by fall
should not say a single word. or
course, says the Philadelphia Record,
The benevolent bystander is brimful OF
questions: ''Where are you hurt|'
Have you sprained your anlde?' and
lastly the insane request to know
whether you can fall down fight OF
90 steps or from piazza ten feet above
ground and not be damaged any more
than if you had thrown yourself on
down pillow only foot away. OF
course you are hurt; and the nerve
shock is SO great that any sort of ques-
ton, even if "they" shall fetch hot wa
ter, is an additional blow to the nervous
system. You are suffering, perhaps.
too much to speak; yet they pelt you
with questions while every power of
your body is endeavOring to regain self
control. You ought not to answer.
You would like to scream that ''it
hurts" 4 hundred times more for being
summoned to speak and to diagnose
yourself. All instructions in the line
OF First aid to the injured" should

sufferer to say: ooh, my head!" or
"Oh, my leg, or back" He will indicate
as soon as it is necessary the injured

him nearly frantic by asking about it.
These simple yet important directions
do not seem to be impressed upon the
average helpful mind. Tact, of all
things, is as necessary as a knowledge

is it forgotten when we run to lift up

ASHAMED OF HIS BLUNDeR.
Zeal of Hound Led Him Into Morti-
fying Mistake.


Up among the green hills of Vermont
two country bali mines were contending
for supremacy one hot afternoon in an
old pasture. Among the assembled
spectators was sad-faccd, lop-eared
"hOun' dog" which had previously
been investigating the contents Of
woodchucli hole. He had worked his
passage in, says Forest and Stream. un-
til no dog was visible, but a steady
stream of dirt shooting out like the
proclaimed that the investigation was
still on. Becoming tired of this, the
hound was sitting down watching the
home team getting done up" when
suddenly, without warning, he shot
across the field with a trajectory as fat
as a 49, 40 and with nearly the same
velocity. The cause was soon appar-
ent. Several little girls were coming
up through hollow and one was Just
tall enough for her brown hat to show
ing ground in front. When the hound
came near enough for the supposed
woodchuck to merge into hat wi$h
girl under it he stopped an instant with
look of Mortified surprise. \ yell
arose from the assembled farmers who
had seen the incident, and this so NOR
titled the hound that he made straight
for home and was invisible for several

SHINGLES LAST a CENTURY.
Roofs OF Michigan White Cedar Resist
Climatic RRNares.

There are said to be Michigan white
cedar shingles now doing good service
on roofs In that state that have been in
full exposure and wear for over IS years.
1t is thus seen that climate affects the
durability Of shingles, and the fact that
white cedar is the natural product OF
Michigan and red cedar of the Pacific
coast is held to be proof that the red
cedar is naturally adapted for use on the
Pacific coast and the white for use in
such sections as the middle and north
western states, etc. \ peculiar Objec-
tion is brought against the red cedar by
some-nalrely: that there exists in that
wood an acid which is, in the climate
of certain sections. so acted upon by
water as to corrode rapidly the nails
with which the shingles are fastened
onto roofs, the rust extending to the
wood around the nails. and soon causing
leaRy roOf-this action explaining the
holes so often to be seen around the
nails in red cedar roofs. Another point
offered for consideration in this connec-
ton is the fact. as stated. that shingle
IS ruined by kiln drying. and that no
kiln-dried lumber can be regarded asof
equal value for outside work to that
which is air-dried.

RESTORATION OF OIL WELLS.
An Electric Heater Designed to Cause the
Renewed Flow.

The general theory concerning the
exhaustion of so many oil wells is that
the oil, in passing through the stone,
las clogged the porous stones with par
affine in such quantities that the fur
ther flow is stopped and the well ceases
TO produce. In many cases, says the
Age of Steel, the supply in the earth has
not given out, but only ceases TO flow
when the exit is stopped. The stone
through which the oil passes is of very
porous nature, and, as the liquid is IN
crude state, the thick matter becomes
as dregs, settling in the rock near the
edges Of the bot tom of the well. Tor.
pedoes have been used to shatter the
stone at the bottom of the well, thus
breaking up the clogged matter, but this
method is expensive. \ new method
consists in lowering peculiarly y-con-
structed electric heater into the we'll
The machine, which is eight feet long
and resembles an iron cartridge, is
placed il the bottom of the we'll and the
current regulated so that the heater
receives just enough TO produce an enor-
nous heat without melting the metal.
BY this peculiar construction of the
carbon-pacl1ed chambers the intense
heat is radiated about into the rock in
all directions. Thus the parafiine and
other refuse are softened and melted
up so that they run. and when the well
IS started q fresh flow takes place. lust
as strong as it did when the well was
Just sunk.

RAILWAYS IN CHINA.
After Decades of Endeavor the Empire
L. at Last to Be Omen.

Several railways are at last about to
be built in China. according to a re-
cent Peking Gazette. One line is to con
meet PeIing with Tien-Tsin. 1t VIII
he about so miles long, and constructed
entirely with government funds.
Another road is to run across central
China from Peking to Hankow. The
emperor h:s decided that the railroad
will stimulate trade in China, besides
giving employment to the masses of
the people, and so will give it all the
support in his power.
\ third line is to be built from Shang-
hai to Soochow. This road, although
it will only be about G5 miles long, is
expected to accomplish n great deal by
opening up the province of Kiangsu.
The viceroy of Nanl<ing has always
strongly opposed all railroad projects
in China, but is now enthusiastic over
the enterprise. and offers TO provide
half the cost out of the official treasury,
and urges his people to subscribe for
shares for the remainder.
Surveys are now being made, and the
work will probably soon be under way.

She was an old German woman. No

IDENTIFY some distance, for she carried
an enormous bundle wrapped in news
paper and containing her personal ef-
fects. Supernatural gifts of second
sight were not necessary to discover
the last fact, for hardly had the old
woman entered the train before tha
contents of her package were eNhib-
tied to the view of the other travel
ers. Newspapers have their uses, but
they were never intended for wrap
ping parcels. The strain and the heat
of the poor old creatures arms had been
too much for it, There WAS Il sound
like the outburst of q long pent-up
sigh, followed by a shower of neat but
plain garments of feminine wearing APP
parel along the aisle, and a ripple of
laughter which travelled rapidly down
the car. Everyone was interested. That
newspaper was gone, the contents of
the package were scattered. What was
the owner going to do? She did not
know any better than the other pas
sengers, and it was no laughing mat
ter for her. just then man, who had
been intently reading his paper, looked
up and took in the situation at glance.
He arose quietly, put down his paper
and stepped into the aisle. One after
the other he took up the different arti-
cles, rolled them into tight little bun
dies, took his own paper and wrapped
them neatly in it, tied together the
broken string and handed the woman
her package in many times better con-
dition than it was before. She was not
diffusiye in her thanks, but her graft
tude was shown in her face. ooh, tank
you, sir; tank you, sir" she said, as
she sat down, smiling happily, her re-
juvenated bundle clasped tightly in her

COSTLY GAME HEADS.
The Musk Ok the Most Expensive, the
BufYalo's Head Next.

The head of the musk OK is the most
costly of mounted game heads and pe4t
is the head of the bison, or buffalo,
Fine buffalo heads, we'll mounted ,,bring
from $50 to $500. \ head at $500, says
the New York Sun, would be one excep-
tionally large and choice; and d fine
head can be bought for $3.50. Fifteen
years ago well-mounted buffalo heads
could be bought for from $50 to $100.
The increase in price is accounted for
by the growing scarcity of the buffalo,
which has now practically disappeared
from the United States. The wood
bisons of the Great Slave lake region
of British North America, which inhabit
woodland or mountain Districts, are
rather more numerous than the prairie
buffaloes of this country, but thetr
numbers are limited and decreasing,

Eneland's first Raiiroa ds.

The origin of railways has been
traced to contrivance for simplifying
the transit of coal from the English
mines to the places of shipment. The
invention consists of double parallel
line of wooden beams or trans, fixed to
the ground and furnished with flanges
to prevent the wheels of the ears from
slipping aside. The motive power was
furnished by horses. The date at
which these roads were first used is get
down as between 1902 and 1649.
