A teachers examination was held at
Seneca, Kan, at which one of the ques-
tions in physiology was as follows:
"What is appendicitis. and what are its
causes and cures?" Below are given q
few Of the answers as reported in the
Seneca Tribune:
1T is a disease Of the appendix,
which is located somewhere between
the liver and the heart, the organ Of the
affections.
"Cosiflcation Of the marrow Of the
longitudinal shaft bone"
Appendicitis is sunstroke or over
heating, caused by great heat. The
cure is to get the patient into cool
place, bathe the face and hand with
water"
lis the disease of appendice. caused
by want Of exercise, improper food,
clothing and ventilation.
Appendicitis is condition caused
by food substances lodging and causing
blockade in the digestive apparatus.
1t is cured by surgical operation, in
which the obstruction is cut away. A
theory is given that the appendix was
at one time tail on man and is not yet
evolved of. It is cut away by the sur

Bees, says Horbis, can embalm as
successfully as could the ancient Egyp-
tians. 1t often happens in damp weather
that slug or snail will enter bee
hive. This is, Of course, to the unpro-
tected slug case of sudden DEATH The
bees fall upon him and sting him to
death at once. But what to do with the
carcass becomes vital question. If left
where it is, it will breed regular
pestilence. Now comes in the clever
ness of the insects. They set to work
and cover it with wax, and there you
may see it lying embalmed just as the
nations of old embalmed their dead.
When it is snail that is the intruder,
he is, of course, impenetrable to their
sting, so they calmly cement his she'll

A Very United Family.

The value attached by the poor, and
even by those who are not in the depths
Of poverty, to decent surroundings in
family life is very variable quantity.
Decent lodging is not by any means
universally regarded as one of the prime
necessaries Of life. Occasionally it is
relegated to quite back seat.
An instance was given before the
commission of family Of seven per-
sons-father, mother two grown up SONS
and three grown up daughters-all liv-
ing in one room. With them this ar
rangement was matter Of choice, not
necessity, for they earned between them
about 81 week, more than $3.50 a
year, and even from slum landlord
they could no doubt have afforded to
rent another room or two Having
screwed down the item of rent to an
irreducible minimum, they determined
to have thoroughly good time, and this
Is how the witness describes their pro-
ceedings: "In tho evening they would

would take five tickets each for some
