VARICOSE VEINS.
Come Measuses of Relief for This Disa-
greeable nIalady.

EroehpAe hdiauys
According to those wise men who
delight to remind us on every occasion
of mans lowly origin, varicose veins
are among the penalties we have to pay
for standing on our hind legs instead
of walking on all tours like the other
animals. 1t is chiefly, they say, the
pressure Of the very high column OF
blood upon the comparatively thin
walls Of the veins that causes them to
become dilated or "varcose." There
are other causes, however, that no
doubt contribute to the establishment
OF this unpleasant affection. The veins
OF the legs are so far from the heart
that the blood in them is compare
lively little influenced by either the
pushing or the suction force OF the
hearts contraction. The contraction
Of the muscles of the legs, also, while
in some cases 1t favors the emptylng
OF the veins, in others constructs them,
and dams back the blood. The con-
stricting action Of the garter naturally
favors the occurrence OF varicose
veins, although, curiously enough, the
trouble Is more common in men than
in women. Finally, the enlargement
OF the veins may be favored by gen
eral loss Of tone in the system; the
muscles and all the fleshy parts become
f1abby and do not support the veins as
they should, and the walls of the veins
themselves participate in the general
relaxation and dllate. The discomfort
caused by varicose veins is often very
severe. The limb feels heavy and dis
tended, and there is more or less con-
slant, dull ache, amounting sometimes
to actual pain Of burning character.
Often in neglected cases, or after the
trouble has lasted for long time,
ulcers form on the legs, which are very
difficult to heal. More rarely greatly
distended vein may rupture, forming
purplish discoloration beneath the
skin, or II the skin has become thinned
1t also may break and a severe hem
orrhage results There is no actual
cure for varicose veins except sur
gical operation, which is seldom desir-
able, and we must be contented usually
with such relief as can be had by sup
porting the dilated veins by means OF
an elastic stocking. This should be put
on Immediately on rising iii the ro.O1n-
ing and worn throughout the day. In
severe cases the patient should remain
in bed or on a lounge for a few days,
with the limb raised on q pillow In
order to favor the emptying Of the en-
gorged veins, while If there are any
signs OF Inflammation, cloths wet in a
cooling lotion may be laid on the part.

1t Is unpleasant news to hear that
Loeb Leven, the most romantic among
the lave Of Scotland, is in danger OF
becoming covered with an obnoxious
weed, which is spreading in an alarm
ing manner, to the dismay of all con-
cerned In the fishing interests of the
loch. For some two years past the
presence Of this member of the ana
charts tribe of water plants has been
known, but no satisfactory explanation
OF the method by which 1t found its
way into the waters has yet been ar
rived at. One ingenious authority has
expressed the opinion that it was in
troduced with some goldfish which
were purchased and turned out into
the loch. The fish were bought from
hawkers, In globes, in which it was
supposed there were supplies Of this
foreign weed. Others assert that il
was bought into the vicinity by an
American timber ship. Be this as 1t
may, the Inconvenience to which the
ever-increasing masses Of weed give
rise Is very considerable. Anglers and
others are viewing with keen interest
the steps that are being taken to de-
stroy the encroaching plant.

UNCANNY FIGURES,

There is something uncanny about
figures. They possess marvellous prop
critics which, though perfectly well
known, are nevertheless Incompetent

which are to be accepted rather than
explained. But when we get to the
rather more involved mathematical
calculations the uncanniness Of fig
ures is further involved. Take. for
instance, the familiar puzzle, which
IS easily explained by the mathemati-
clan, but causes bewilderment to the
typo in figures.
Two men have co oranges each. The
FIRST seels half at two a penny and half
at three penny. Let us work out the
sum. Thirty sold at two a penny bring
him in Is pence; so at three a penny
fetch 10 pence; total, rs pence. The
second sells all his 60 at the rate OF
five for twopence. There are IL sets
OF ave in 60; hence he receives 10 two
pence, or "a pence.
Apparently both men sell at the
same rate-they do not do so really
and one receives one penny moro than
the other. Verify, there is something
extremely uncanny about figures.

The Anti Rut Agitation in Brief.

Life on farm often becomes, as 9
result of "bottomless roads," isolated
and barren of social enjoyments and
pleasures, and country people in some
communities suffer such great disad
vantage that ambition is checked
energy weakened. and industry paral
yzed.
The good roads movement is max
ing progress in Illinois. A series o.
district conventions, each embracing
several counties, will be held through
out the State in September, under thu
auspices of the State and Interstate
Good Roads Association. At each o.
these a sample road will be built b.
an expert engineer, road making ma
chinery shown, and addresses made
The difference between good an'
bad roads is often equivalent to tn
difference between profit and loss

Not a Recent Agitation.

The good roads movement in this
country is not of resent origin, as
many who are following and agitating
it may think In the earlier part of
the century an agitation for goodroads
was kept up for nearly fifty years, and
had among its leaders such men as
Henry Clay and John Calhoun. This
movement resulted in the Government
taking a sufficient interestin it to pro-
vide for national turnpike through
the leading Eastern cities to those in
the West. About the time the move1
ment was well under way, the rail-
roads, as means of transportation, be-
came SO prominent as to cause the
road work to stop. Railroad building
has practically reached its limit in this
country now, though there will be ex'
tensions of the system gradually, but
the good roads movement which they
stopped in the earlier days is now re-
ceiving fresh impetus from the lessons
that good steel highways have taught
the people, and because of the neces-
sity OF good highways as feeders te
the immense railroad systems of the
country. Instead of having one kline
of good road to the detriment of the
other, it is very probable that the
work of the League of American Wheel
men, in conjunction with the Farm
ers National Congress and other agri
cultural organizations, will result il
the work of road building being takel
up where it was left off some year
ago and completed as far as the neces
sites of the country demand. 70 d
this will require millions OF dollar
and much patient effort, but the goo
roads agitators are confident that the
can convince the legislators and tn
people that improved highways are g
economic necessity.

AN IRON FOUNDRY AT SEA.


The Usual Luxuries of Such Work
Ashore Entirely Missing.

other kind Of naval repair work had
been executed heretofore on board

iron castings had not been attempted.
In her facilities for this new line OF
work the Vulcan stands pre-eminent

for foundry work was successful Is

off in a day, and that usually about
o'clock in the afternoon. For after
filing the molds and dropping bottom
it was practically impossible to dc
much more in that part OF the ship TIL
the next morning. Kipling has sung

s GOOD ROADS NOTES,
Fat ,em ON the Back.

The newspaper that does not lead in
the work of molding public opinion,
but waits until public opinion is al
most moldy before expressing it, is of
little moral worth to its community.
A newspaper publisher should be wide
awake to the best interests of his
neighborhood He should be a leader,
not tail-ender. Ii he sees what
would be best for the people, he
should say so, and in every such case,
he would say so only
Well, maybe some of his readers
think differently and would "stop the
paper" or, at least, their part of it, if
he were to speak out. There are so
many superannuated ditto marks in
every town who are opposed to any
thing new or different. Their pur-
pose in life is simply to ditto mark
everything that has been and oppose
all that hasn't been. And they are
always quite sure they represented
the almost unanimous opinion Of the
thinking people of their town.
But if they can be made to know that
they are not ''the whole thing" they
are willing to make any changes to
keep on the popular side.
1t is difficult to understand how any
reasonably intelligent editor can re-
frain from espousing the cause ofroad
improvement. Yet many of them do,
because they fear it will divide their
patronage to do otherwise.
AS matter of fact, newspaper
should reflect more than one mans
opinion. 1t should reflect the neigh
borhood opinion. 1t is not honest
to compel the editor to fight the
battles alone. The people should
fight the peoples battles. Core
spondence should be invited, leading
mon should be interviewed. There
should be symposiums of opinion.
Who can estimate the moral strength
of Gift" like the following from one
of the foremost citizens Of Winston,
N. c., to the editor of the Journal of
that place:
editor Journal-Your able edi-
torials, agitating move for good
roads, is certainly on the right line.
You cannot be too earnest and per-
sistent in such an effort. Keep right
at it. Get your brother editors to
join you in the move. Jointly press
and push the matter even to the ex-
tent of being called 'cranks. 1t is
q move that is bound to prove popular
in the near future. Common horse
sense argues its prime necessity.
Additional ocular proofs are not
needed. It is n matter in which all,
who care for the material progress
and advancement OF their section, are
interested"
The world is always quick enough
to censure, but it is usually slow to
commend. The friends of the good
roads movement should brace up
every newspaper that is espousing the
good roads cause. The tongues of
type are many, and many are they

them to speak aright.-L. A. W.

matter thus: The hair of the red

three brown hairs. With 10000 red
hairs the scalp is we'll matched, whers-
