They Dreaded the Doctor.

smallpox was so common that there
were few people who We're not more

lady who had grown accustomed to
her face in the glass refused to make
use of any such preparation.

was recommended to her, "afore /

DIR. Sanderson himself was used to
heroic measures in treating his
patients. When one came to him suf-
fering from toothache he asked but
one question, which is it.
Then when the offending molar was
shown, out it came.
So we'll known was his lack of cere-
mony that the ignorant were chiefly
anxious to escape him. The story
goes that as he was passing along the
street one day sweep rolled from top

The Hottest Region on Earth.

The hottest region on the earth's
surface is on the southwestern coast
of Persia, on the border of the Persian
Gulf. For forty consecutive days IN
the months of July and August the
mercury has been known to stand
above 100 degrees in the shade, night
and day, and to run up as high as $50
degrees in the middle OF the after
noon. At Bnhrein, in the center of
the most torrid part of this most tor.
rid belt, as though it were ma
lures intention to make the
place as unbearable as possible,
water from wells is something UNI
known. Great shafts have been sunk
to a depth of 100, 200, 800 and even
500 feet, but always with the same
resut-no water. This serious draw
back Notwithstanding a comparatively
numerous population contrlves to live
there, thanks to copious springs which
burst forth from the bottom of the
gulf more than mile from the shore.
"Machadorcs" (divers), whose sole
occupation is that of furnishing the
people of Bahrein with the life-giving
fluid, repair to that portion of the
gulf where the springs arc situated
and bring away with them hundreds
OF bags full of the water each day.
The water of the gulf where the springs
burst forth is nearly 200 feet deep but
these machudores manage to fill their
goatskin sacks by diving to the bottom
and holding the mouths of the bags
over fountain jets-this, too, without
allowing the salt water of the gulf to
mix with it. The source of these
submarine fountains is thought to be
in the hills of Osmond, 400 or SOC
miles away. Being situated at the
bottom of the gulf, it is a mystery
how they were ever discovered, but
it is said that they have been known
since the dawn of history. Popular

with n pill box in hand
and exclaimed: give made the most

brought forth a miniature piece of
work exquisitely finished He not
only did plain sewing and fancy work,
but tried his hand at the family mil
linery. His fine embroideries were
noticeable at fairs, and wedding pres

of his fingers. He is now interested
in decorative art, and earns his bread
by embroidering and hanging porti-
eres, lambrequins and other interior
decorations.
