II the child urinstes too often, if the
urine scalds the fssh, or if, when the
child reaches an age when it should be
able to control the passage, and it is yet
afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon

How High is Your CHART

Some curious experiments Lave been
made by Harvard professor to prove
what is really the best height for the
chair you sit on AID the desk you write
at. Every person, it appears, says the
Boston Travelor, ought to have chair
especially made to suit his or her
height, and the &c at of the chair should
be exactly one-quarter of your height
from the floor. Thus, if you are six feet
high, the chair should be eighteen
inches. The width OF the seat should
exactly equal its height, and it should
slope backward three quarters of an
inch to the foot. The back should be
trifls higher than the seat, and sloped
slightly, not too much.
Finally, your desk should be two
thirds as high again as the seat of your
chair. Thus. if your chair seat is twenty
four inches, tie desk should be forty
inches in height. When you have at
tended to all these little details you can
sit and write all day without feeling that
backache that comes from chairs and
desks taat don't fit you.

The Minutest of shells.

Among the minute existences upon
the face of the globe that have been ele-
vated by means of the microscope into
an honored position of independence are
the foraminefera, mostly marine atoms
inhabiting many chambered cells. At
one time they were oonsidred mollusca,
at another they were ranked among
the infusoria and eventually they were
settled comfortably in the subkingdom
protozoa. The calcareous shells have
in the past formed vast deposits of
chalk. They are often today congregat-
ed as realms of sand.
These animals are not always mi
mute, but generally they are subjects
imperatively demanding the lens. An
ounce of sand has been known to con-
tain 5000 of their shells, and in the
West Indies the figure once ran into
millions. Your object under the naked
eye seems to be merely pinch of brown
sand; under the microscope You have
great variety of the loveliest lilliputian
shells, representing every variety of
form known to the conchologist.

The Footstep. In the Sand,

We toiled on for life-bare life. Then
imagine our amazement when on the
long. surface of dune we perceived hu-
man footsteps imprinted in the sand |
Down we went on our knees and ex-
amined them. There was no doubt Of
it. They were the footprints of human
beings. Surely we could not be very far
of from the river now. In an instant
we were wide awake. We followed up
the trail till we came to the top of a
dune, where the sand was driven to-
gether in a hard, compact mass, and
the footprints could be more distinctly
made out. Kasim dropped on his knees.
then cried in scarcely audible voice,
"They are cur own footstepsP'

HOW MINES ARE SOLD.

A mining exchange in comment
ing upon the difference in making
sale of mining property now and
twenty or thirty years ago, says:
The day has gone by when hole
in the ground to the depth of a few
feet can be sold at any price the
owner of the "mine" may exact.
The men of means who to-day are
willing to invest in mining proper
ties will not buy anything they can
not see. Upon the report of experts
as to how much ore is in sight and
what its value is the owner must
depend to great extent The man
of capital will buy just what is in
sight in a mine, on a cash basis,
after estimating the cost of extract
ion and working and deducting the
same from the price asked or agreed
upon. Therefore it is not easy for
owners of mining properties to
make cash sales, for they invariably
ask higher figure then the ones
DESTROYS of purchasing are willing
to pay, for the reason that the in
tending purchaser cannot see how
he is to get his money back. Very
few mining sales are now made ex
cept by bond and lease, whereby
the owner of a prospect gives the
one who desires to purchase time to
thoroughly prospect and satisfy
himself that the property is worth
what is asked for it. individuals
or companies with capital are will
ing to bond properties for reason
able length of time, pay cash for
what ore is in sight and develop
the property during the term of
bond or lease, and if at the expira-
ton of time the property is consider
ed worth what it is bonded for, take
up the bond and pay over the
money. This has become the gen
eral custom of doing business, and
unless the owner of a prospect has
little faith in the value of his prop
erty he usually is willing to bond it
for time to give the proposed pur-
chaser a chance to convince him
self that the property is really of
the value he agrees to pay i'll the
bond.

ONO has gone Republican again,
but the Republicans are not con-
graduating themselves much over
the fact, for in reality the returns
in Ohio show with three tickets in
the field, that the administration
policy was notnpheld.
In Kentucky both Democrats and
Republicans are claiming a victory.
The Democratic party was split by
an independent candidate, and at
the best the Republicans can only
win by about 5000 or 1000, while
if the Democrats had stood together
they would have had walkover.
In Nebraska the fusion ticket
against the Republican won out by
$4,000 or $4,000 majority.
