BIG FIRES!
5raat Fires Are Constantly
Burning.
sAlI They Will Go Out in Time If Net
Rcplenished-Food is Fuel for
the Body.

History records the occurrence OF
most disastrous fires. a few times our
own country has been visited III this
yav with tremendous force. ct how
insignificant they seem when com
pared to the raging fires OF the sun.
A recent writer in one of our monthly
Journals. illustrates the enormous heat
which the sun gives out, as follows:
he says that if all the coal which exists
on this globe could be placed III oEe
mass, and then Immediately btia j.
I'D, it would not produce as much Ac-i
as the sun throws off into space in
one.tenth of second. Of course, Ne
cannot comprehend what this means
But there is another fire constantly
burning, of which many of US are
not aware, although we live very close
to it.
We all know that the human body iE
warmer than the surrounding atmos.
phere: while during cold weather the
difference is very marked. What keeps
the body warm? Because it is con-
stantly Burning up.
We repenish the fire in the stove by
adding more coal or wood. The oxy-
gen of the air uuites with this fuel and
heat is produced. The fuel for the
body is our food; and the oxygen
obsained from the air we breathe
combines with it and heat is produced.
This heat is constantly escaping from
the skin. During summer we dress
lightly to aid its escape. During
winter we put on fannels, because
wool is not good conductor of heat,
And will not allow it to escape SO freely
from the surface of the body.
If person is plump in flesh, that is,
If he has layer of fat just beneath
the skin, he has a medium which holds
in the heat of the body, as layer Of
wool does when placed on the outside
Of the skin. Persons who are plump in
Gcsh do not SILVER with every cool, In
yigorating breeze. Neither do they
require SO much food, for as the heat
cannot escape SO readily, 50 it is not
necessary to add SIS rauch fuel. Plump
ness means protection; defense against
coughs and colds; shelter for an escape
from neuralgia and sciatica; a shield
TO throw Off nervous prostra tion bet
ter security from the germs of con-
sumption; an escape from a thousand
aches and pains which cling to body
that is poorly nourished. Plumpness
is prosperity, thrift, good nature, hap
piness.

Language Of SEALING Wax.

Postage stamps lave long had a lam
guage and now comes some one who
claims to translate the subtle meaning
Of sealing wax. Business letters should
be sealed with red, friendly letters with
gray TO your lover you devote blue,
in token of constancy, unless you wish
to hint that you have or think you
have cause for jealousy, when YOU
will use yellow. A reply to wedding
invitation should be sealed with white
and a letter Of coincidence or death call
for black or violet. A dinner invita-
ton may be sealed with coffee COL
ored wax, and when a man gets a let
ter sealed with green, from the girl
he admireS, he may feel that she shyly
bids him hope.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1899-11-17

The woman who keeps the simplici-
ty of her girlhood, Its generous impul-
ses and quick sympathies, and who
adds to her gifts the enlargement Of
study and the crown of experience, is
always at her best and never past it.
When the exterior attractions of form
begin to fade, the radiance Of our
inner illumination will more than
compensate their departure. But, in
order that this should be so, her moral
must equal her intellectual gain. She
must be willing to learn, not only her
own powers, but her own defects al
so, and to court the good influences
which can help her to escape from the
delusions of sense and the fatal tyran-
ny of self-consciousness. She must
discard the petty measures of vanity,
and self-seeking, and learn to love her
race, her country, and the humanity
which she should help to adorn.
