or wind pressure varies with this wind

The inland winds are much stronger
on the great plains than in any other
section. In Kansas and Nebraska the
winds are nearly twice as strong as in
the Ohio River valley. These veloci-
ties refer to the winds as experienced
on the tops of houses in a city, or
twenty-five feet above the ground In
unsheltered positions in open fields.

Etiquette Of the Sick Room.

Etiquette of the Sick Room.
In the sick oom try to keep the con-
v~ersation as much as possible on other
subjects besides the illness of the pa

anyone. What you say to the sick one
should be something cheerful. and how
much better and brighter the patient
seems Never tell anyone that they

think, for such remarks have a depres-
sing effect on the patient and surely
does nobody any good. A bright,
cheerful, jovial, happy, hopeful person
entering a sick room is like the rays
of the morning sun shining on a .droop-
ing plant. The effect is electrical and

In Norway the ski is in constant use
during the winter, and the ease with
which great distances can be covered
is surprising. Peasants are thus able
to get about their work and visit
friends in far-away districts. Sports
men, with gun on back and stick in
hand, set out in pursuit of game on
ski. and the soldiers r reduced to
this means of getting about when ex-
ercising. A regiment Of soldiers on ski
is a sight by no means uncommon in

Roosevelt on Gen. Lee.


THAI President Roosevelt has un-
bounded respect and kindly feeling
for the people of the South is we'll
known. He has SO expressed himself
repeatedly. The following tribute to
Robert E. Lee is taken from Dir.
Roosevelt's life of Thomas H. Benton:
"The decline of the militant spirit
in she northeast during the first half
of this century was much to be regret
ted. To it is due more than to any
other cause the undoubted average in:
dividual inferiority of the Northern.
compared to the Southern troops; at
any rate, at the beginning Of the war
OF the rebellion. The Southerners by
their whole mode Of living, their
habits, and their love Of outdoor
sports, kept up their war-like spirit;
while in the North the sn.cai!!ca Upper
classes developed along the line Of a
wealthy and timid bourgeoise type,
measuring everything by mercantile
standard "a peculiarly debasing one
by itself. and submitting to be ruled
in local affairs by low foreign mobs,
and in nationa! matters by their arro-
CANT Southern kinsmen. The militant
spirit of these last certainly stood
them in good stead in the civil war.
The world has never seen better SOL
diers than those who followed Lee;
and their leader will undoubtedly rank
as without an exception the very
greatest Of all the gres. captains that
the English speaking people have
brought forth--aud this, although the
last and chief of his antagonists may
himself claim to stand as the full equal

Speed Of Dogs.

Comparatively few people realize Of
what remarkable speed dogs are capa-
BILE. Some remarkable statistics in
regard to this have been gathered by
M. Dusolier, French scientist.
After pointing out the marvellous
endurance shown by little fox terriers
who follow their masters patiently
for hours while the latter are riding
on bicycles or in carriages, he says
that even greater endurance is shown
by certain wild animals that are akin
to dogs.
Thus wolf can run between so and
60 miles in one night, and an arctic
fox can do quite as we'll, if not better.
Nansen met one Of these foxes on
the ice at point more than 20 miles
northwest of the Sannikow territory,
which is 480 miles from the Asiatic
coast. Eskimo and Siberian dogs can
travel % miles on the ice in FIVE
hours, and there is one case on record
in which team of Esquimaux dogs
travelled six and half miles in
% minutes.
According to Dosolier, the speed Of
the shepherd dog and those used for
hunting, ranges from 10 to Is yards q
second. English settlers and pointers
hunt at the rate Of is to I9 miles an
hour, and they can maintain this speed
for at least two hours.
Foxhounds are extraordinarily swift,
as is proved by the fact that q dog Of
this breed once beat a thoroughbred
horse, covering four miles in six min
utes and half, which was at the rate
of nearly 18 yards u second.
Greyhounds are the swiftest of all
fourfooted creatures, and their speed
may be regarded as equal to that Of
carrier pigeons. English greyhounds,
which are carefully selected, and
which are used for coursing, are able
to cover. at = en.l gsilcn. 2 space be-
tween 18 and % yys-ds every second. q
HOY gree. an achievement this i,
may be judged from the fact that e
thoroughbred horse rarely, if ever,
exceeds 19 yards. Moreover, it is
said that hare at its greatest speed
never goes faster than at the rate Of
18 yards.
These interesting statistics are ex-
citing much comment among sports.
men and other lovers Of dogs, and the
opinion is unanimous that Nj. Dose.
lier has fully proved the right Of the
greyhound to rank as the swiftest Of
quadrupeds. Express engines only
surpass them.-London Mail.
