HAVE YOU A TEMPER

An exchange has lately published
an article on 1.-The Girl with Tenn
per-" which contains some excellent
advice and will bear repetition.
"When daughter not only begins
to show decided signs of temper, but
is inclined to boast that I am not one
of your namby-pamby girls, who can
not stand up for her rights, it is time
to convince her of her folly, or she
will reap lasting discomfort later.
eff the woman with an unrestrain-
ed temper is young and beautiful,
much may be forgiven her. In her
amiable moments she is so charming
that the words uttered in her unrea-
sonable anger are almost forgotten,
and the chances are that she will
plunge some man into lifelong misery,
because the habit of tempestuous fits,
if not firmly checked in time, will
strengthen with years.
IF the woman with temper be
plain in person she will render life
very dreadful for herself, but not nec-
essarily SO for many other people.
Her relations and friends will learn
in time to shut her out from their in
innate counse1s-to form a life for
themselves toward whose outer circle
she will recede by degrees, and in the
end will stand alone.
"The woman with temper is sell
dom well educated. She has not the
concentration and calm of mind which
lead to the acquisition of knowledge.
She may possess a share of accom-
plishments, may be little musical,
a little artistic, may pass muster
among the superficial, but the chances
are against her possessing the restful
knowledge that comes of thorough
ness.
"Then beware of the girl who
boasts of her spirit if you would
later avoid the companionship of that
very undesirable personage-the 'wo-
man with temper. >"

HANDLING IRON ORE.

The iron ore mined at Lake Supe-
rior is carried to the ore docks and
dumped into the holds of steamers at
a cost of only few cents a ton. A
great deal of it is quarried by steam
shovels and emptied directly into the
cars, no human muscle being expend
ed from the time the shovels scrape
tl,4 5,s<. t~,.s- ;t-s ...>s:.-.> i>od ...til +ls
whence it is Sent to the smelters.
Until this time, however, no such in
expensive means have been devised
for transferring ore from the steamers
to the docks or the cars which carry
it to the furnaces. A great deal of
hand labor has been employed in this
work, with the result that, though
the transference from the lake to the
land has been quite cheap process,
it was still much more expensive than
the transference from land to lake at
the upper ports.
At last, however, new shovel has
been invented for handling iron ore
in unloading steamers. The inven-
tion is said to have been tested and
found capable of handling 1900 tons
per day, with the employment of only
three men to each shovel. 1t is ex-
pected that this innovation will faci1-
itate the handling Of the great ore
traffic this year. A force of nearly
100 men is now at work making the
shovels.
1t is said that this ingenious con-
trivance shovels material on any side
of it, and can fill cars from the steam
er holds on either side of the steamer.
Each shovel has three distinct en-
gines, and the scoop may be made to
cut into the ore piles to any desired
depth. A more economical method
of unloading ore steamers has long
been desideratum, and if the prob
lem has been solved it will be to the
advantage Of the iron business.

BREFpING 81 EoRsRs.

1t requires six years from the time
of breeding until we have the animal
of marketable age generally sought
for. The best time to go into the
business of horse breeding is when
breeding stock is cheap-little or no
demands in the markets-when Sc
lections of the desired types and
blood can be carefully made with the
adoption of both sires and dams to
be coupled together for the most uni
form results, with the view of improv-
ing all the good qualities of our
horses and eradicating their defects,
at reasonable outlay of money.
To maintain any of the specific
types of horses, we must confne our
selves in the selection of breeding ami
mails to the desired type, let it be
draft, coach, carriage or road horses,
and never try to improve either type
by crossing one type from another.
BY so doing we are in great danger
of losing the good qualities of both
and all subsequent breeding will be
more or less guess work.
While we may confne all our horses
breeding to specific type, we cannot
expect to overcome the imperfections
of many of the individual of the
type, without very careful selection
of the brood mares and stations that
should be mated together for the i'm
provement of that type, and herein
lies the great secret Of the improve
ment Of all the types Of our best
horses. Thousands upon thousands
of farmers in the last decade have
had some experience in cross breed
ing, or rather "haphazed" breeding
from which the country became food
ed with a great mass of horsehesh
that they themselves did not want
and there proved to be no sale at liv-
ing prices, which should be lesson
for us in all future efforts in horse
breeding.

APPENDICITIS.

The vermiform appendix, inham-
nation of which constitutes appen-
dicitis, is curious little offshoot
from the large intestines near the
point where it is joined by the small
intestine. 1t is hollow tube about
as thick as leadpencil, from an inch
to several inches in length, which
communicates with the cavity of the
large intestine but is closed at its free
extremity. Nobody knows definite
what its use is, and many think it has
no use at all.
1t is a popular belief that inham-
nation of the appendix is often caus-
ed by the lodgment in it of a grape
seed or some similar little body, but
as a matter of fact this very seldom
occurs, and no one need deprive him
self of delicious and nourishing
fruit from any such fear.
There are probably very few per-
sons of middle age who have not had
appendicitis, bur fortunately they did
not know it. 1t is only when the in
fammation becomes severe, and in
wolves the parts about the appendix,
that violent symptoms appear, and
this occurs in only small proportion
of cases.
The disease is more frequent with
the young than with the middle-aged
or old.
In mild cases the only symptom is
slight dull or colicky pain in or near
the right groin. When the inham-
nation is more severe, or extends to
the neighboring parts, the symptoms
become more pronounced. There is
sharp pain in the abdomen, signs of
dyspepsia-loss of appetite, nausea
or vomiting, and bowel disturbances
are present, and there is often
slight fever.
In the most serious cases a sudden,
violent pain occurs, there is marked
fever, and the patient is depressed
and presents all the signs of being
very i'll. Hiccough is often a dis
tressing symptom.
The treatment of appendicitis is
one of the points upon which doctors
disagree. Some believe that in near
ly every case cure will follow rest
in bed, a milk diet, cold applica-
tions to the abdomen and sedative
remedies. Others assert that an op-
Grafton is necessary in every instance,
and that this should be performed
the instant a diagnosis of appendicitis
is made, before serious symptoms ap-
pear. =
The proper course, here as else
where, is doubtless the middle one,
for in many cases an operation is ab-
solutely necessary to save life, while
III others recovery will take place
without subjecting the patient to this
serio,-e .rislz- In any case a sufferer
should be under the constant care s.

vENTRILOQUIsM.

"Ventriloquism as vaudeville
speciality is about played out, said a
veteran Snowman recently. 1T was
always great fake. Of course, we
know nowadays that there is no such
thing as throwing the voice. and
that it is simply an illusion in which
the eye plays bigger part than the
ear. For instance, a man is seated
on the stage with a mechanical dunn
my Oh his knee and you hear voice.
The mans face is stiff and the dunn
my's jaws are wagging naturally
you jump to the conclusion that the
voice comes from the doll. If you
were close beside them you would
know better, but you are too far
away to exactly locate the sound
That is the principle. of the whole
thing but in the old days the voice
throwing theory was very generally
accepted.
II remember in the season of 80
go l was manager for a clever pres
tidigitator who was also a ventrilo-
quist. He claimed to be able to throw
his voice az feet and land it in space
10 inches in diameter, as you might
speak of pitching ball or quot.
1t was most absurd contention, but
he stuck toit-even to me in private,
and we had a stock story we used to
work on in the country papers about
his appearing at coroner's request
and making the corpse accuse sus-
pected person of murder. At that
instant the climax ran, a hollow
voice issued from the dead mans
throat 7 1t was very thrilling yarn
and in the course of time my boss got
to believe it himself, and would mar
rate the details with every evidence
of good faith.
During the performance he used
to order every body off the stage, but
occasionally I would sneak around
behind and listen through the peep
hole, and it was wonderful how the
illusion was lost. Frequently on the
road he would be embarrassed by re-
quests to throw his voice into this
thing or that to further some practi-
cal joke, but ne would always reply
that his larynx was trihe inham-
ed But still he was capital ven
triloquist-one of the best, believe,
that was ever in the business. ~

FOOLISH TO PLAY POKER.

Poker1 Not again. And would
advise all young men who have rep

hold their own and have desire to
find all the flaws in alleged friends,
why, my brethern, I say play poker.

man. 1t strikes right at the heart

he is about the scarcest article in the

A SPLIT WITH CUPID.

In discussing the subject of broken
engagements Sarah Grand, the author
of "The Heavenly Twins" says
cit does not seem to me that there can
be any doubt that it is justi6able to
break off engagements only under
special circumstances which may
threaten to bring unhappiness on the
pair should they marry.
At the same time do not think
that an engagement should be broken
off for any but the most serious rea-
sons and / believe the contempt we
feel and the stigma which attaches to
the man of many engagements and to
the girl who has broken off one after
another are the involuntary outcome
of knowledge of character. We
know from experience that people of
that kind, with no proper sense of
responsibility, are mere froth on the
surface of society, undesirable as ac-
quaintances, and not worth consider
ing as citizens.
But, if engagements were to be
irrevocable, the chances of misery in
marriage would be double what they
are now, and, unhappily, they are
only too numerous as it is. Of course,
no honorable person will enter into an
engagement without the honest in
tention of fulfilling it, and, therefore,
when such people become engaged
and afterward break it off, it is pret-
ty certain to be for good and sufficient
reason.
Engagements are like marriages
in this, that once people stand in that
relation to each other, they have a
certain license allowed them which
gives them opportunities ofbecoming
more intimately acquainted than was
possible before, and of obtaining a
better knowledge of each others
characters, tempers, tastes and habits
than they could have done in ordi-
nary social intercourse.
