Wasted Gold.

BY careful experiments made at the
United States mint, it has been shown
that IS are lost by abrasion every time
$1,000, 900 in gold coin are handled. The
experiments were conducted with bags
containing $4,000 each, and it was
shown that the mere lifting of the 200
bags making up 100000 to truck to
be removed to another vault resulted
in the loss stated, and that their trans
fer from the truck again made sec
ond similar loss.-Chicago Chronicle.

CYCLISTS AND COLD BATHS.
A Physician's View ms to the Proper
Time to Indulge.


A physician, who is himself a wheel
man of several years experience and
who has also devoted great attention
to other athletics, lays down this gen
eral proposition: "Never take cold
bath when you are tired" He points
out that the greater the exercise the
more poisonous waste material is ere
ated, and that cold bath does not as
sist the skin in getting rid of this prod
uct, whereas warm bath does. The
doctor adds:
"When you take cold bath you de-
pend upon the heart to bring about re-
action. If this heart be already tired
by the long ride it may not be strong
enough to bring about reaction, ana
the blood and it's waste material may
not be brought to the surface. Inter
nal congestions may follow, and, as
have seen in two cases, death may en-
sue. It matters not how hot you may
be, how much you may be perspiring,
the cold bath is harmless provided al
ways the heart be not tired. A simple
rule for the bicyclist, whereby he may
know whether the heart be tired is
simply to count the pulse, having in
previous quiescent state ascertained
what his individual pulse rate per min
ute is. When, after a long ride, his
rulse rate is normal he may with safe
ty use the cold bath. He should, there
fore, rest after tiresome journey I'M
fill the pulse is normal or Whereabouts,
say even ten beats per minute faster
than normal, or what is far better, get
into tepid bath, one neither very hot
nor very cold. When he has remained
in the warm water long enough for the
pulse rate to be about normal, he can
then, with perfect safety, plunge into
cold water, and these two procedures
form the ideal way of using water on
the surface after fatigue"

quently this is the case. A woman can
not be happy, helpful arniable wife who
suffers from weakness and disease at the
very mainsprings of her nature. Pity
may grow up to take its place, but love
itself seldom survives where this is the
case. If woman will, she may always
hold her place in a mans mind and
heart. If she will take the right care of
herself in womanly way she will never
lose her rightful inheritance, hus-

The best of all known medicines for wo-
men is DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
1t acts directly on the important and deli
cate organs that make wifehood and
motherhood possible and makes them
strong and we'll. 1t allays inflammation,
heals liberation, soothes pain and tones
up and builds up tired nerves. 1t pre-
pares for almost pangless motherhood and
insures healthy children. Thousands OF
women who were sickly, nervous, fretful
invalids are now happy, cheerful and
helpful wives as result of its use. All
good medicine dealers keep it and there
IS nothing "just as good" Any dealer
who tries to persuade you that there is,
is thinking more of his profit than OF
your welfare and health.

Gossiping and Flirting as They Fill
Their Jars at the Well.
In every household the daughter has
her appointed work. In all but the
richest merchants houses the daugh-
ter's duty is to bring the water from
the well evening and morning, says
Blacl1wood's Magazine. 1t is the gos-
siping place of the village, this well,
and as the sun sets there come running
down all the girls of the village. As
they fill their jars they lean over the
curb and talk, and it is here that are
told the latest news, the latest firta-
ton, the latest marriage, the little
scandal of the place. Very few men
come. Water-carrying is not their
duty, and there is proper time and
place for Irritation: So the girls have
the well almost to themselves.
Almost every girl will weave. In
every house there will be loom, where
the girls weave their dresses and those
of their parents. And very many girls
will have stalls in the bazar. Other
duties are the husking of the rice and
the making of cheroots. OF course, in
the richer households there will be
servants TO do all this, but even in them
the daughter will frequently weave,
either for herself or for her parents.
Almost every girl will do something,
If it be only to pass the time.

Exercises That Keep Athletic Girls

an ''armory," where she practices with
the aid of an instructor and in COM
pany with few of her intimate friends,
says an eastern exchange.
Many girl can do her trick on the
flying rings or the parallel bar in a
manner that makes her college-bred
brother hustle for his laurels. And
he'll have to hustle still more when
the glorious May days come and she
can show the result of her secret train
ing on the golf links and the tennis
court.
