Energy directed.

There is no danger so great for a
man or boy as idleness. If mothers
and fathers would save their boys, they
should give them something to do. Buy
an ak and saw, and let them chop
up that wood, no matter how large
the bank account. Let them keep the
weeds from the garden and the tall
grass from the lawn, the dirt from
their own clothes and the dust from
their own shoes. Don't do everything
for them. It pays to teach the boys
work-not SO much for what they can
do as for what it does for them. If
more boys could have piece of ground,
a shop, place of some kind where they
could work off their superfuous energy,
we would hear less of truant and reform
schools. In the matter of reading, too.
If you do not wish the boys to read
worthless books and trashy novels, yo,,
must put into their hands good, we'll
written books, and these not of the dull
type, which will discourage a young
1nind.-St. Louis Republic.

The bicycle has become wonderfully
popular in Cairo during the last two
years, and there are many more ma
chimes ridden by the members of both
sexes to be seen in the city and in the
suburbs than anyone is apt to suppose.
This is not surprising, all things con-
sidered. What is called the Ismailiya
quarter is all new and pretty, with wide.
smooth streets for practice, and there is
rain only just often enough to prevent
one from saying that it never rains.
The climate let's one wheel every day
in the year.
1t is delightful spin to the pyra-
mids. Leaving the busy streets of the
city, you cross the great Nile bridge,
skirt the lovely park of Gluzch, and then
run straightway for five miles down the
perfectly level tree-shaded avenue to
the things to eat and drink. The dis
tance is eight miles, and before one
starts back he has plenty of time to
climb the big pyramid, shake hands
with the sphinx, and use the tomb of the
priest as dark room to change his
camera plates.-London Cyclist.

A Grave Danger.

1t is not easy for girl in her teens
to rightly understand and appreciate
that q grave danger turks for her in
things which are not wrong in them
selves, and yet, i'll their spirit, are not
exactly right. There is a fine line in
such distinction, which, naturally, she
has not lived long enough to see. But
her parents see it, and try to make her
see it. In this they are, unfortunately,
not always successful, and the girl, feel
ing that the point has not been made
clear to her, leaves the counsel of her
mother or father in resentful mood.
What tshecannot exactly understand she
refuses to accept, and therein lies o
danger. There are innumerable fine lit
tie points of department which cannot
be made quite clear to a young girl.
She has not had enough experience with
people and the world. But because
these points are not clear to her she
should not make up her mind that they
are not right. l wish it were possible
for me to say here just the right word
word which would lead many girls
to accept, in spirit of faith and obedi-
ence, the little restrictions placed upon
them. This acceptance does not call
for "blind obedience;" it calls for what
is the most valuable element in girls
life-a perfect faith and confidence in
her parents, and belief that what
they do for her they do absolutely for
her best and her safest protection

Words of Advice for the Careful
Housewife.
Physicians constantly see patients
who would be horror-stricken at the
idea of being devoted to the whisky or
brandy bottle, but who seem to, think
that there is no possible harm in re-
sorting to wines of cocoa or kola with
or without other ingredients. In many
instances these wines contain such
large quantity of alcohol that in addi-
tion to the stimulating effect of their
medicinal ingredients they produce an
effect equivalent to that induced by Q
drink of whisky. They should. there
fore. be employed only under the direc-
tion of a physician, md should ply
sician order them the prescription cali-
ing for them is not to be renewed in
definitely, excepting under his advice.
The same objections exist against the
employment of all those preparations
of bromide and caffeine which are uti-
l;zed under different combined names

should remember that a headache is a
symptom, not n disease, and that it is
a symptom of many diseases, ranging
all the way from so serious affections
as Bright's disease and brain tumor to
the headache due to lack of sleep. The

u person suffering from Bright's dis
ease may give such temporary relief
that the patient will ignore the condi-
ton of his kidneys and go to ply

that his headache cannot be put aside
by these means, nnd when it is perhaps
too late for him to gain any benefit
from treatment. In many instances of
nervous headache, quiet, rest, . suitabl.
amount of sleep and u proper regula-
tion of the diet are what the patient
needs, and using headache powders is
simply postponing the evil day, with

DEATH DUE TO FALLING WIRES.
More Persons Killed by These Than
by Railroad Academia.

More Persons Killed by These Than
by Railroad Academia.
We have recently had an opportunity
to examine batch of newspaper clip
pings giving accounts of accidents due
to the falling of electric wires. These
clippings cover the months from May
tc September, inclusive, but it is not to
be supposed that we have found in them
reports of all or nearly all the acci-
dents of that character which have
taken place. We have found enough,
however, to show that the matter is =
very serious one.
122 accidents due to falling trolley
wires. In II of these accidents 12 per-
sons were killed, and in 90 of them 81
persons were injured and in 1s of them
~ horses were killed. During the same
FIVE months we find reports of 40 ac-
cidents from falling electric light and
telephone wires, showing that 0 per-
sons were killed in Q accidents and ~
were injured in % accidents, and :
horses were killed.
The nature of the accidents is very.
familiar; that is, broken live wire
falls into the street and a passer-by
steps on it or picks it up and gets u
shock which is often fatal. We thus
find, during this period, a total of 21
fatalities resulting from falling live
wires of all kinds. At this rate of NOR
tality, if it were kept up, so persons
would be killed in the year. In 1895
there were 3s passengers killed in
train accidents on all the steam
railroads of the United States, SO
far as we have been able to as
certain. 1t appears, therefore, that
more persons are killed by live wire
accidents than are passengers in rail-
road train accidents, and the difference
might be still greater if complete sta
tistics of the former were obtained.
There have been widespread and per-
sistent efforts made by the public in va.
rious ways and for many years to mini
mize train accidents by legislation and
by agitation in the press and by invcs-
LEGATIONS and recommendations on the
part of railroad commissions, but the
serious mortality due to live wire acci-
dents does notappear to have attracted
much attention from the public. There
are simple and obvious means, which
we suppose are not very expensive, for
preventing accidents of this class; but
until the public realizes the serious
ness of the situation and the practica-
bility of remedying it probably little
will be done. We suggest this subject
ss an interesting one for the daily
1lewspapers.-Railroa Gazette.

ICE MEN,.
How the Hardy Explorers Reached
This Land 10 q Mystery.

How the Hardy Explorers Reached
This Land 10 a Mystery.
How paleolithic men got to this land
for it does not seem likely that the
genus homo was indigenous here-is Il
question that has puzzled the wisest;
perhaps by way of Greenland, over the
bridging ice field which probably con-
nected Europe and America. However.
we know that he did get here, and, as
the first wandering bands of these old
hunters came, we know, too, that they
found a land of snow and ice, OF great
rivers and many lakes. 1t seems prob
able, from the finding of occasionalim i'm
plements in the older grnvels, that the
earliest immigrants arrived while the
glacier was at it's maximum.
One unhroken field of ice had spread
over all the north, covering Manhat-
tan island 1000 feet and reaching to
within so miles of Philadelphia. As the
years passed, more bands of these hardy
explorers reached this land, and as the
second and later recessions of the ice
occurred. with accompanying flooded
rivers, it is likely that fairly dense
paleolithic population peopled our
river valleys. 1t was long time since
the first of their race came over the
ice; far distant past it must nave
seemed-as it truly was to these later
day men.
TO us the founding of Egypt is so far
away that it seems almost wholly myth
ical; but the time which elapsed be-
tween the period of maximum glacia-
tion and the later days of the epoch
was possibly five times longer. Yet
this is one of the short periods in the
lie history of the infant race. Such
was time in the beginning.-Lippin-

lew Business A0aoes Protect Them
selves Agalnst Less.
The functions of q credit man are not
generally known to the public, but he is
In many respects the most important
person employed by mercantile con-
Germ. Briefly, he is supposed to be in
formed concerning the commercial
standing Of every firm or individual
with whom his own house has any deal
ings. He ia q kind of walking Brad
Streets" and the firm for which he
works has the exclusive benefit of his
Investigations, his knowledge and his
experience. 1t does not trust to him
alone, of course, because in the case of
large house there would be rather
more than he could attend to. The regu-
lar mercantile agencies are depended
upon for certain amount of informa-
ton, usually that which concerns the
Oldest and richest corporations, about
whose solvency there is commonly no
question. The credit man may, however,
II his employers suspect a necessity for
1t, be called upon to probe still further
than the regular agencies go, i'll order to
make assurance doubly sure.
When would-be buyer from some re-
mote part of the country presents him
self to firm to which he is entirely un-
known, he is introduced at once to the
credit man. The latter receives what
ever credentials the stranger has to
offer, and if he is satisfied that the
house will run no risk in selling to him
he states the fact, and his judgment is
accepted. Various considerations de-
termine the amount of security which
new customer is required to show,
and not infrequently it is stipulated
that he shall have real estate backing
which is known to be responsible. The
credit man also figures out at once the
largest amount of credit which can be
granted to the new buyer, this being de-
termined according to the figure at
which he is rated.
Subsequently,, as he runs up bills for
goods, they all pass under the credit
mans watchful eye, and if it is found
that the customer is close upon his
credit limit the last purchase is often
held until it is proved to a certainty that
its delivery will entail no loss to the
firm. This process of keeping track of
every buyers limit imposes never
ending task upon the credit man, and
it is one which requires delicate hand
ling, too. While great caution is nee
essary. there must be as few needless
suspicious as possible, for these are
often the means of driving away per-
fectly Trustworthy customers, who feel
themselves insulted by the reflection
upon their financial methods.
In cases where there is good ground
sor believing that q customer will bear
watching the credit mans investiga-
tions are very thorough. He inquiries
as to the private affairs of the buyer in
question; finds out as nenrly as posi-
BILE the amount of his income, and how
his money is invested, and keeps an
eye as we'll upon the way in which he
lives and spends. With every precau.
ton, however, there are many losses
and it is the business of the annual con.
vention of credit men to discover bet
ter ways each year of protecting mer.
camille interests.--N. Y. Tribune.

Rattlessalre Knoll.

Rattesna.e knoll. in Emmons coun.
". on The Missouri river, is said to bs
the great and only summer resort Tor
all kinds OF snakes. Every summer
thousands OF serpents congregate there
to dwell together in peace and happi.
ness during the hot season. They bask
on the sides of the hill in the hot sun.
and the knoll is honeycombed With
thousands of holes, where they may be
seen crawling in and out. There are
AL kinds of snakes, from the poisonous
and deadly rs ttler to the harmless gar
ter snake, and they twine together in
numbers and roll about like twisted
blades of grass. 1t is remarkable that
this is the only place in this state on
the east side of the Missouri river
where rattlesnakes are found, and
there must be some 5peculiarity about
the knoll to attract such great NUM-
bers. Travellers generally give the
place wide berth, though it is not far
from the stage route from Fort Yates
to Bismarck. The residents in the Vi
cinity have become accustomed to the
presence of the serpents and kill many,
striDging the rattles as trophies. Upon
several occasions powder and dynamite
have been placed in the hill and fred.
but no appreciable diminution in the
number seems to have been made.
