her, she didn't realize her own weari-
ness. But once at home, exhaustion over
came her If a woman were thoroughly
robust, without ache or pain, she could
not keep this work up without under
mining her health. What shall be said
then Of those women, who are not strong,
who suffer from headache, backache,
bearing-down pains, and other conse-
quences of a diseased condition of the
womanly organismS And these women
are in the great majority. There are
few women who are free from diseases
peculiar to their sex.
BURNING THE CANDLE AT BOTH ENDS
That expressive saying not only sug
gests the most rapid form of waste but
also the most foolish. When woman
overtaxes her strength in any cause,
whether in the enjoyment of social
pleasures, or in the service of church or
charity, she is rapidly fastening to the
end Of her public activity.
The proof of this is found right at
home Young matrons who are not
dancing any more, church workers who
are no more active these have not step
ped aside because of loss of interest but
because of lack of strength.
There is not a weak woman who would
not like to be made strong again. There
is not a sick woman who would not like
to be made we'll. And there is not the
least reason, in ninety cases out of
every hundred, why women should con-
tinue to be weak and sick. The first
step to the establishment of the gen
era1 health is to establish the local
womanly health.

Dangerous Factories.

Not far from the heart of New York
city is factory for the manufacture Of
deadly poisons in quantities large
enough to annihilate the entire popula-
ton of New York The factory Is so
guarded that even its next door neigh
bors need have no fear of it, but the
possibilities stored there excite the inn
agination. No one may enter it with
out special permit The employees
are all skilled men, well aware of the
danger of the slightest carelessness
They manufacture, among other things,
pure anhydrous acid, which is so dan
gerous that in it's pure state it is not
placed in the market There is instant
death in it's fumes If they are permitted
to escape. Nitric acid is stored in an
other part of the factory in big glass
carboys. The men who work in this
factory realize that broken carboy of
nitric acid would mean q disaster, and
they treat it with the respect which it
deserves. This factory and others like
Ii are guarded more carefully than a
safety deposit vault.-New York Sun

south Sea- superstitions.

In the south sea islands the old gods
are still very close to present life
despite the vigorous profession of the
newer faith which the missionaries
have introduced. On village green's the
stone churches rise into prominence
The people are unremitting in theil
attendance upon the services, wearing
clean white shirts and gaudy bonnets
according to the sex of the worship
ers, and carrying their Bibles and
hymnbooks wrapped In spotless hand
kerchiefs. But In the jungles and or
the waters no Samoan quite forgets
his ancestral gods, the powers of ma
ture, and In the domain of the hunter
and the fisher these old gods reign
supreme.
Moralists may not assume to blame

absurd superstitions of an inferior race

A Tinker,s Dam.

There is no profanity in saying that
any certain thing SIS not worth q tink-
er's DAM" although 1t is so considered
by many The expression originated
many years ago, when tinkering, or
mending, leaky vessels was much crud-
er than it is now.
In former times the use of rosin to
check the flow of solder when placed
on tin was not generally understood, at
least by the rowing thinkers. When one
of these gentlemen of the road found a
Job, such as mending a wash boiler or
other tin household utensil, he would
get from the housewife or domestic a
piece of soft dough. With this he
would build a dam around the place
where lie intended to put his solder.
Inside of the circle thus formed he
poured the melted lead. When the
metal had cooled, he would brush
away the dam of dough that had con-
fined it to the desired limits. The heat
had hardened the heavy paste and
baked it thoroughly, so that it was alb
solutely of no use for anything else. II
became one of the most useless things
in the world, and there was not enough
of 1t even to be worth while carrying to
the pigs.
Hence the expression, which was
originally intended to convey certain
idea appears to have been retained
while the origin is not generally
known.

Cuatom Influences Language.

Pomologists, like botanists. find it
impossible to enforce the rules of prior
lty In names Of fruits and flowers In
fruits the names of Bartlett for a pear
and Telegraph for grape have not
been changed in spite of the efforts of
leading pomologists and genealogical
societies to support prior names. Those
who lead In these good efforts forget
that the only law for language is the
law of custom. In famous grammar
we are told 'the English language re-
quires the pronoun 1T for all mani
mate objects" but custom has so firmly
made the sun he and the moon she
that we have accept it. Thus 1t will
ever be. To secure the adoption of a
prior name reformers must bestir
themselves before custom gets posses
sion of the field.-Meehan's Monthly.

In some old court memoirs of the
eighteenth century which have recent
ly been called again to attention it is
stated that when George ~ was a
baby he was bathed only once a fort
night. That was thought to be plenty
often enough in those days Tor child
to be washed. When one of Georges
little sisters had measles, the royal
mother gave most careful instructions
that the child's linen was not to be
changed too soon, as she feared that
some careless attendant would clothe
it In garments insutliciently aired and
so "drive in the rash" In those days
people were much afraid of clean linen
and bathing. 1t was believed the com
plete bodily ablutions were weakening,
yet prince, peer and peasant alike call
ed in at every ailment the doctors Of
the period, who bled them into state
of weakness and sometimes death.

like Proteus, who was perhaps per
