Dor When visiting II hospital, the celc-
brated singer was SHOWN n child whose re-
covery depended on its taxing bat tho
doctor had prescribed, but v hich the lirtla
sufferer absolutely refused to enter, while
to use force was considered likely to bring
about a fatal result Maiibral took thc
child up in her arms and tried persuasion,
but without success

She sang soft melody, ana the ohsti
nate little patient listened with shining
eyes, but still refused to take the bath. The
doctors and nurses were shaking thcil
heads in despair, when suddenly another
idea occurred to tie singer.
"Will you go into the bath if I go, tcu:"
she said
The child signiled assent by II lnnguid
nod, and, quickly undressing, the great ar
tiste entered the bath with the now de-
lighted little patient in her arms. The re-
suit was what the physicians had expected
tho child's life was saved.

housekeeping.

Housekeeping isn't such dreadful task
If the work is done Systematically and
properly. No kind of work is altogether
agreeable; it all has ''spots" that we would
rather avoid, and SO it is with the care of
house. If one cannot afford well trained
servants, none at all is best A poor serv-
ant is a torment and Il nuisance, and very
few women have patience to take "a raw,
unframed girl and make good servant of
her. 1t is much easier to "keop house" If
one has conveniences to work with, and
that young couple is sensible that begins
furnishing by buying good stove for tho
kitchen and the necessary utensils for
kitchen and dining room, leaving tho par

without chromos of fruit ard flowers AID

A CURE FOR LANE BACK.

"My daughter, when recovering
from an attack of fever, was a great
sufferer from pain in the back and
hips" writes Louden Grover, or Sar-
dis, Ky. "After using quite a number
of remedies without any benefit she
tried one bottle of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm, and it has given entire relief"

tain cure for rheumatism. Sold by all

NOTABLE SOLAR ECLIPSE.
1t Will Occur February L and AstrOl-
Ogers Consider 1t Omfnous.

Ogers Consider 1t OminOus.
From the New York Herald
There Will be an annular eclipse of the
sun on February 4. and Il will be notable,
for the reason that it will be only visible
/ in America. The eclipse, however, will be
small and partial, and can only be seen in
that portion of the United States lying
south of a line drawn from Cape st. Lucas,
through San Antonio. Texas: Memphis,
Tenn, and Marietta, Ohio, to Province
town, near Cape Cod, in Massachusetts.
At Boston, New York, Philadelphia Wash
ington and Nashville the eclipse will be
very small, there being merely the slightest
contact, the sun will set with the
eclipse on.
The eclipse will begin to the north of
Kermadee Island. and it's path will lie
chiefly in the Pacific ocean. In its course
it will cross Colombia and Venezuela be-
tween the points Cabita bay, near Cape
Corrientes. on the Pacific coast, and the
Island Of Trinidad. and there it will ter
inmate at sunset-5h On pm, New York
mean time
The line of the annular eclipse will pass
to the north of New Zealand, and on by
way of Mitchell Island and the Galapagos
the north Of Bogota, and in these latter
places the annular phase will last longer
than elsewhere, the longest period of du-
ration being Pm. 32s.' 1. will be seen that
America, from Brazil to the middle of the
United States, is the only continent on
which the eclipse will be visible.
The eclipse begins and ends as follows,
according to mean local time: In New
York it begins at Al. 59m. ASS. pm and
ends at sunset in Washington 1t begins at
4h. 42nl. I. m. and ends at 5h. 19m. 2Ss pm. |;
! in Charleston it begins at An. 12m. 2js
pm. and ends at Oh. 29m 55s. pm, and in
Key West it begins at 3h. 46m. sos. m,
and ends at 5h. 34m. 33s pm.
This eclipse will return February 13, 1915,
and will then be visible in South Africa.
The present one will begin on the earth
| generally in longitude lT6 degrees 81 min
utes west and latitude D degrees min
utes south. and will end In longitude a
degrees 50 minutes west and latitude IA de-
grees 42 minutes north. The central eclipse
| will begin in longitude 1856 degrees II min
utes east and latitude 80 degrees 30 min
utes south, and will end In longitude "a de-
grees 50 minutes west and latitude ii de-
grecs AZ minutes north.
English astrologers attach some import
ance to this eclipse Thus the compiler of
an English astrological almanac for 1897
writes gravely: "At the time of this
| eclipse, which will be invisible at Green
wich, Mars will be on the meridian in trine
aspect to the lights (sun and NOON in the
rumors of wars will be afioat, and as the
/ line of central eclipse begins near Trinidad
and crosses Venezuela, We may expect
| strange events to happen In that part and
fighting and bloodshed."
He udds that the eclipse will affect South
| America very adversely and earthquakes
will occur.
