AN INVOLUNTARY LESSON.
It Was Rather Shocking, But Proved to Be the Beginning of
 Better Things. ~

"The girls treated principal and teachers with an exaggerated respect that they most certainly showed to no other mortal in the world" writes Mary Louise Graham, of My Board ing-School for Girls" in Ladies' Home Journal. "They could not grasp the idea that they could talk to me as they would to any woman of my age at their homes. I don't quite know that l ought to tell what was the opening wedge, the beginning of the new order of things. I have never regretted it in spite of the fact that it was rather shocking, and that was lame for days afterward. We were all assembled in the schoolroom for prayers. I sat down inadvertently on an optical de- fusion of chair, and as reached the floor exclaimed ilvoluntarily at the top of my lungs: The devil!' I wish to remark parenthetically that I am not in the habit of swearing, that I think it a most unladylike custom, and I would advise my girls against it if ever dared approach the subject. In this instance my swearing was prob ably a case of atavism, my grandfather being a most ungodly old speci- men of Puritan. But, to return to that morning in the schoolroom, there was silence which lasted about two seconds; then one girl giggled. We'll, it ended with two cases of mysteries, and we>didn't have any prayers that morning. But the episode proved tha was human, and so it was the begin ming of hefter fhinrs :,

CAUSES OF DROUGHT.
It Is Partly Due to the Destruction of
 Forests and Growth of Arid Lands.

"I do not know exactly what direct influence the presence or absence of forests has on the c,imate," said Sec retary of Agriculture Wilson recently to a correspondent of the New York Sun, "but know this, that the dew astation of the ranges is resulting in the growth of the arid lands of the west; that these arid lands cannot be irrigated for lack of water and that the lack Of water is partly due to the destruction of the forests at the sources of the streams.
 s'I have sent experts into the west ern country and have directed that every source of information shall be utilized to obtain all the data pos sible concerning the hot wave, it's causes and effects. I think we can safe ly promise some highly important and interesting information for our next monthly crop bulletin on August 1O.''
 Clifford Pinchoi, chief of the forestry bureau, who has done much to arouse national interest in this subject. is now on tour of inspection, but the acting head of the bureau gave it as his opinion that the hot spells of the middle west were undoubtedly due in part to the destruction of the forests, and especially in Michigan and Mime sota, about the headwaters of the streams.
 ''If the people of the west continue to alter the face of nature" he said, ''they must expect to change natural conditions.''

MANS PLUCK sA WE'D HIM.
Terribly Burned by Molten Metal, He Fought Desperately for Life
 and Won Out

To the great surprise of the physi- clans and surgeons at the Maryland General hospital at Baltimore, Md, Peter Weldon, an engineer who was terribly burned two weeks ago in a bath of molten metal at the Maryland steel works, is recovering and was pronounced convalescent With the exception of his chest and stomach there was not an inch of his body that did not come in contact with the terri ble liquid.
 Weldon left some vats of molten iron suspended in the air and then passed directly beneath them in an engine. The liquid either burned through the bottom of it's receptacle or became overturned and struck the iron roof of the cab where Weldon was stand ing, but the metal ,wuld not stop the liquid. Almost instantly it burned through the roof and struck Weldon :. on the face and hands. He sprang through the cab window and alighted on his hands and knees in pool of the molten iron. While in this position the liquid metal poured down over his back and came in contact with his entire body, even the soles of his feet being burned. Skin and shreds of flesh peeled off his body.
 { "Can you pull me through?" he asked the physicians at the hospital.
 They told him they would try, but it was doubtful.
 "Illpull myself through, then,'' said the sufferer, and he has, but he is ter ribly scared.

SUN TATTOOED HIM.
Plight of Man Who Went to Sleep
 Naked on the Beach.
When He Avolke He Looked Like g Lobster and Even the Friends of His Childhood Failed to
 Recognize Him.

Charles Spenser has, according to the Boston Advertiser, furnished to the Emergency hospital case of sun- burn that will figure in history. He accidentally fell asleep on the beach while bathing, and when he awolSe found himself unable to get his clothes on. Dr. Bakeman was seated in the Emergency office when an individual clad in a long ragged macintosh walked painfully into the outside wait ing room. His eyes glared like two holes in a red table cloth, and he ex- tended both arms as if spider had crawled down his neck.
 The doctor summed his man up quickly, and made up his mind that he was dealing either with lunatic or victim of locomotor ataxia.
 s.Well?"
 Doctor" gasped the visitor, "mix me up a dose of poison quick. I can't move enough to shoot myself"
 'sOh, you don't want poison" said the doctor, reassuringly, as he stepped up to the man and placed both hands on his shoulders.
 The patient writhed as if touched by hot coals, and the doctor felt the flesh fairly crackle under the macintosh. It was an herculean task to strip even this simple garment from the patient.
 Spenser went camping with several friends a few days ago. They had a tent down the coast, and the days of torrid heat were forgotten. There were swimming and fishing, and Spenser, with his companions, was

accustomed to spend hours on the sand.
 At noon Spenser had hard swim and threw himself down on the sand afterward in complete abandon. Like Rip Van Wrinkle, he went to sleep. He awoke just as the sun went down. Spenser had slept with his face to the sand Old Sol shed a regular Fourth of July smile on his left side first. When Spenser was well done on the left, the sun sped joyfully around to the right and toasted the sleeping man nicely on that side, too. Spenser's legs and feet were buried in a pile of sea weed, and were decorated with strange knees blended lace work of snakes and water plants had been tattooed by the artist Sol. The sizzlingof his back and sides prompted the sleeper to change his position, and soon he was well-coolSed all over.
 Spenser awolle with start, when a thousand hornets seemed to be sting ing him for a prize. Half dazed, he started for the camp, and found his friends wondering at his long absence. He was surprised and disgusted that they were somewhat at odds in recog- nizing him. When he tried dressing he did not recognize himself. Amidst jeers and laughter, he tried one piece of clothing after another, only to groan in despair and throw them all aside.
 He walked the beach all night and next day borrowed an old macintosh and a pair of gunny sacks for trousers. On the train he clung to the back seat and walked up to the hospital because he could not sit down.
 Spenser felt when he entered that there was absolutely nothing to live for, but under Dr. Bakeman's skill he presently changed his mind.
 You certainly look like lobster,' , observed the doctor, as he finished with Spenser. And the patient was willing to confess that he was one.
