The Useful X Rays.

It Is very satisfactory and interesting to
know that the Roentgen rays, which at
first promised to be only nine days won
der, are doing such splendid work In the
hands of the surgeons. Every big hospital
has now its long roll of cases in which the
surgeons have been guided In their work
by the revelations of the X ray tube, and
now from the distant Indian frontier we
hear how the wounded are receiving bene-
fit from this method of diagnosis. In one
instance a sepoy had been struck by bull
let, which made flesh wound across his
chest and apparently had found its exit at
his arm. The case was not an extraordi-
nary one, but the surgeons were puzzled by
the inflaminatory symptoms which mani
tested themselves and for which there was
no apparent cause. Recourse was had to
the Roentgen apparatus, which at once
showed that some shadow casting foreign
bodies were lodged in the mans chest
Operation showed that these were pieces
of lead, the remains Of bullet which
seems to have broken up after impact with
the bones. -Chambers Journal.

They Drink Cologne.

"Many women are becoming victims Of
the cologne habit" said well known
physician. GLOW the taste is acquired
varies in individual cases. Some having
inherited or contracted fondness for al
coholic stimulants and, being debarred
the means of satisfying their craving else
where, find substitute on their dressing
tables which Is as certain in its effects as
the whisky of commerce. Addicted to its
use, woman may order cologne In I'M
limited quantities and have it always at
hand at home, without fear of detection,
while at any social function she can call
for cologne in the dressing room when she
would hardly dare brave public opinion by
ordering a cocktail.
"More innocently do other women be-
come slaves to the habit. Using sip or
two to perfume the breath, and, finding ii
not unpleasant to the taste, they are apt
to try 1t again without realizing that al
cohol is the factor called to their aid.
Gradually the habit becomes more fixed,
and many sips day establish what the
English call 'pegging' at drinks. Tine
ture of lavender is said to produce even
worse effects than cologne, while the ap-
parently innocent peppermint and even
ammonia are taken by some women for
their stimulating effects"
Nearly all physicians have patients who
are victims of this abnormal craving, and
they all declare such people much harder
to contend with than those other unfor'
Inmates who have taken their drinks

1t is said that the old occupations are

Mrs. Florence Buckingham Joyce went
to New York from Utica. She is a
pianist, but after looking over the field
decided that there were already too
many solo pianists in the field. At home
she had been more than usually success

leading vocalists, and, recalling the
statement of musician that a good ac-
companist is rarer than a good singer,
she chose her carer, that Of professional

Her first work was done in the studio
Of teachers of singing. The pay was
small, only so cents an hour, but by
listening to the instructions Of the
teachers she gained great deal of val
liable information. There, too, she made
the acquaintance of singers, some pro-
fessional ones in temporary training and
others novices just about to make their
debut. Soon singers began to hear about
her and engagements for concerts began
to pour in. She refused all opportuni-
ties to do solo work, insisting that she
was not an artist, but an artist accom-

The present season, her third in the
metropolis, finds her as well known as
and perhaps more sought after than any
of the concert soloists, for she is alone in
her line. Before going to New York she

Blake No Sailor.

In his famous lyric Campbell links Blake
with "mighty Nelson" and In point or
fame and character Blake is not unworthy
to stand beside him whom Tennyson calls
"the greatest sailor since the world be-
gan" And yet Blake was In no sense
sailor. He was 90 years of age before he
nut foot on man of-war, and he stepped
without an interval from being colonel OF
foot to being admiral of the fleet. Early
in 1649 parliament undertook to roorgan-
lie the fleet, and 1t issued commission to
three colonels-of whom Blake was one
to be "admirals and generals of the fleet
now ut sea-" An admiral In top boots
and spurs seems sufficiently absurd to the
modern Imagination, but in the sea tactics
of the seventeenth century tho men VINO
fought the ship and the men who sailed e
were totally distinct. Magazine.
