IandIeecbes of CeyIon.

The land leeches of Ceylon are singu-
lar creatures. They have the power OF
planting one extremity on the earth
and raising the other perpendicularly
to watch for their victims. Such is their
vigilance and instinct that on the ap.
proach of passer-by to the spot which
they infest they may be seen among the
fallen leaves and grass on the edge OF
native path, poised erect and prepar-
ing for their attack on man or horse.
On deserving their prey they advance
rapidly by semi-circular strides, fixing
one end firmly and arching the other
forward, till by successive advances
they can lay hold of the travellers foot
when they disengage themselves from
the ground and ascend his dress in
search of an aperture by which to en-
ter. In these encounters the individu-
ais in the rear of party of travellers
in the jungle invariably fare worse, as
the leeches, once warned of their APP
proach, congregate with singular
celerity.-Chicago News.

LIFE-SAVING BICYCLE.
Rubber and Cork Machine Worked
by Pedals and Screw.
IL Can Be Folded and Carried ON
Ocean Steamships and Used by
Shipyrecked Trnvelers-In-
yention of a Canadian.

The very newest bicycle feat has been
accomplished by Canadian French
man, Edouard de. Rigne, of Toronto.
He has invented a bicycle life-saving
apparatus which he has patented, and
is finishing to present to the United
States life-saying stations along the
coast. There are 260 of these picketed
along the Atlantic and the Pacific and
the great lakes. No country has the
same amount of coast work that the
United States has, and no country is
consequently more in need of aid for
the already overworked coast life
savers. Last year they either rescued
or assisted 4,600 persons.
The bicycle invention is called q life
buoy. 1t is destined to save life when
the ship goes down. 1t is to be carried
on board ocean steamers and on ferry
boats in place of the life-saving belt
now in use, and it is to be sent to the
life-saving stations to be stored away
in some handy place where the life
corps can get hold of it at the signal Of
distress.
The virtues of the life buoy are that
it cannot sink. 1t is bound to float,
and you cannot put it on wrong. Once
launched and you are bound to use it
right. In a life belt you may make a
mistake and put it on below your GEN.
ter of gravity; and in many persons
this falls above the waist line, and in
that case you float feet up and are
drowned. Thirteen unlucky persons
persisted this way last year, because, in
their excitement they forgot to buckle
the belt under the arms.
The life buoy has four large air COM
partments, each one covered with cork
and made absolutely nonsinkable.
Rising above these there is seat upon
which the person sits on.a bicycle sad
die. As soon as he is seated the buoy

begins to float along. A sail overhead
carries it rapidly.
This sail is kept set, but in the hand
of anyone who understands yachting
1t can be turned or shifted, raised or
lowered, until the right direction is OBJ
tanned. In the hands of an mex
perienced person the buoy would sail in
one direction, bringing the person
either to land or in sight of ship in
a short time.
Mariners say that in case of being
adrift upon the sea without chart OF
compass there is nothing as good as
persistent sailing in one direction. The
course is bound to cross that of some
ocean steamer, while If a drifting
course is taken man may by some mis-
fortune miss every craft upon the sea
for days.
Once seated in the bicycle seat a
person is bound to be saved. Even il
there is no knowledge of the bicycle he
can sail superbly on. But if he under
stands the art of pedalinR-and the

SCARLET FEVER.
Some Suggestions for Handling the
Disease.

disease.
In the treatment of scarlet fever
everything depends upon watchful and
sl1illful nursing. AS soon as the erup-
ton upon the skin appears the child
should be given warm bath and be put
to bed in large, well-ventilated room
in the upper part of the house. All I'M
necessary articles of furniture and
clothing should first be removed from
the room, and those who attend upon
the patient should not mingle with the
rest of the family.
In the earliest stages of the disease
the temperature of the room should be
kept at about Gs degrees Fahrenheit.
but later, during the period of scaling,
when the skin is tender, the tempera-
ture should be raised to 10 or ~ degrees
Fahrenheit. Throughout the sickness
the room should be well ventilated, care
being taken, however, not to expose
the child to draughts.
The best recoveries are made by chill
dren whose only nourishment is milk
until convalescence is fully established.
The milk may be given plain. with lime
water, with vichy, or predigested.
After the eruption has disappeared,
and the scaling is well advanced, broths,
eggs, chicken jelly and the like may be
cautiously added to the dietary. Cool
ing drinks should also be given at fire.
quent intervals. Cream-of-tartar lem
onade, made by dissolving teaspoonful
of cream of tartar in pint of hot water,
to which, after cooling. lemon and SUI
gar are added to suit the taste, is pleas
ant and useful drink, and has benef-
cial effect upon the kidneys and bowels.
If the throat is much inflamed, small
pieces of ice may be held in the mouth
until dissolved. Allowing small pieces
of ice to melt slowly in the mouth also
relieves an irritable stomach and ex-
cessive thirst.
Even in the mildest attacks of scarlet
fever the skin should be carefully at
tended to, and every effort must be
made to maintain it's functions. If this
is done, kidney complications are far
less likely to develop.
The entire body of the patient should
be carefully sponged with lukewarm
water twice a day, care being taken,
however. to uncover only that portion
of the body which is being bathed.
After each sponging, some oily sub
stance, such as vaseline or glycerine and
cold cream-one part to eight-should
be thoroughly rubbed into the skin.
This procedure not only relieves the
itching and burning, but prevents the
spread of the contagion.
During the convalescence the patient
must be carefully watched and sedulous-
ly protected from becoming chilled or
fatigue; an inflammation of the k ineys
is usually due to exposure at this time.
For this reason the patient should be
kept in bed a week, even in the mildest
cases, and not allowed to leave his room
for fully three weeks after the fever
has entirely disappeared. = Youths

HE DIDN'T DESERVE THE GIRL.
Was Absent-Minded to the Last De-
gree.

gree.
There is something at once amusing
and pathetic in the fact that Robely
never married. He was a bright, healthy,
cheerful young man 20 years ago. I'm
der these conditions it was inevitable
that he should fall in love, and his af-
lection was reciprocated by beautiful
young lady, who was as happy as he
in building air castles. In everything
they were fitted for each other, unless
in the fact that Robely was the most
absent-minded young man that ever
went a-wooing.
Occasionally he would start 10 see
his girl and wander in some other di-
rection, forgetting his dereiction until
it was too late to make amends. Twice
he called for the special purpose of pro-
posing, and left without attending to
the matter. Even when the time came
to appeal for a parental consent and
blessing the matter escaped his mind
until the indignant old gentleman APP
pointed a special conference and
eurtly insisted that failure to
meet the date would prove dis
astrous. Theater engagements and
parties were overlooked in the
same way, and it was all passed hap
PLY over because it was Robely. TWAS
not expected that he would comply with
any special code of conduct.
But when the church chimes were
pealing, the bride was in hutter of an
sicipation, the bridesmaids and grooms-
men were on hand, and the minister was
ready, the families were there and the
wedding festival needed but the pres.
ence of the bridegroom. He was miss
ing. This was different. There was nc
way of doing without him. He had
been urged, warned and cautioned, but
he was allowing that absent mind of his
to drift him down the river IN row
boat unmindful of the penalty fate
would exact. The pitcher had gone t.
the well once too often, and the wed
ding was never celebrated
