A League Against seaslokness.

London Correspondence of The Scotsman.
 It will be news to most people-welcome news to many-that there exists on the Continent league against seasickness," !" which has its headquarters in Paris. The league Is arranging to hold a conference in August and September at Ostend for the furtherence of the object indicated in It's title. and it has drawn up an elaborate programme, from which 1t is possible to gather the lines upon which the league conducts It's campaigns against that ter rible malady from which so many people suffer hideous tortures. The exhibition is to be divided Into six sections, in the first of which will be shown appliances for suspending the traveller so as to diminish the effect of the movement of the ship, and design for special ships constructed to guard against the malady. The second section, in the original French, is to be of "Appareils destines a immobillser les vis- ceres Gle ventre)"; a third section Is de- voted to appliances for keeping the air of the cabins pure and sweet; a fourth to preventive hygiene" including special foods and drinks, fifth to medical prepa- rations for relieving the sufferers and the last section to the literature of the sub ject. The exhibition is to be under the patronage of the Ostend municipality. and there are to be practical demonstra- tions on steamers of the validity of the various appliances. It is a weird subject on which to hold an exhibition, but if the conference should discover any practical means of amelorating the lot of those who are not good sailors 1t certainly will not have been held In vain

small amount several times daily, and ev- cry day exactly at the same hour Talk to 1t in a low tone in the meantime. so as to accustom 1t to the sound of your voice.
 The rat should be kept in an open wire cage, and it's owner should allow no one but himself to feed it. Call the rat by the name you have given 1t whenever you feed 1t, and you can soon tell when 1t is tame enough to be let out of the cage by the way 1t answers to it's name at meal time.
 Before you let it out of the cage close every door and window and large crack in the room. No one should be in the room but yourself This should be done at exactly the time the rat is accustomed to being fed. Open the door of the cage retreat a few steps, call the rat by name and show 1t its dinner. If it Is not tame enough for your experiment it will not come out of its cage at all. If you have been training it for a long time it will come to you and eat out of your hand at once. Afterward it will run around the room trying to escape. Let 1t alone; 1t will soon return to It's cage. Be sure to call 1t by name several times when it Is out of the cage, and give 1t a morsel to eat every time Repeat this with one per- son sitting in he room perfectly quiet Then with two persons.
 The rat will soon learn that no one will harm 1t and that you are a never-failing source of food. After you have repeated this several times with different members of the household, you can safely let the rat go. It will at once run away, but will be sure to come back as soon as it is hungry, If you do not have a cat about the house. If you have you will only waste your time trying to tame the rat, for its natural enemy will keep it insuch con stant terror that 1t will be absolutely un- tamable.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.
Some of the Results Secured by
 Worlds Congresses.
From American Medicine.

From American Medicine.
 The elaborate preparations which are being made for the British congress on tuberculosis. to be held in London, July 22 to 26. again call attention to this im- portant subject, and lead us to ask what has been accomplished by the worlds congresses and agitation of the last few years. Any exact statement if. of course, out of the question. but judging from the records of cities, and of states like Mas saohusetts. where mortality statistics are carefully recordeds and studied, it seems a conservative estimate to say that a tenth of the population in civilized com- munities has been saved by the mea ures adopted to prevent the spread of tuberculosis. In England, where the death rato from tuberculosis to the mill lion In habitants in 1870 was 2,410 there has been a reduction from this cause of nearly one-half.
 (Although there may have been some slight Improvement in methods of treat ment, the most important results have come from improved prophylactic meas ures. Sanitary enactments and the growth of public sentiment against spit ting in the streets and in public convey ances have done great good. Physicians have impressed their patients with the necessity of disinfecting or safely dis posing of their approximations, and though many ignorant or careless per- sons cannot realize the necessity for such precautions, most patients have come to understand the danger to others and the risk of reinfection to themselves.
 To some extent, even corporations are joining the medical profession, the gov ernment and the people in their war against tuberculosis. The Pullman com- pany has recently taken measures for regular thorough disinfection of It's cars with formaldehyde, and we are told that some hotels at resorts for tubercu- losis patients are adopting similar meas ures. In the treatment of tuberculosis the introduction of fresh air treatment with abundant nutrition and precaution against infection has been brought into prominence by the establishment of nu- merous sanatoriums. Many of these only attract wealthy patients, but Massachu- sets has again been the leader in giving poor people an opportunity for proper treatment at it's great and successful sanatorium at Rutland, Mass.
 All of these facts give evidence that very satisfactory results have been ob- tained All of these improvements in a comparatively short length of time make certain still greater results in the future. Tuberculosis is not disease that is lim- ited to the weak and unfit, but like all contagious diseases, 1t has claimed many of the strongest and best, both mentally and physically. It Is highly important that this fight. with it's encouraging re- suits, be kept constantly before the pro- fession and the public, and that every ef- fort be made to continue 1t.

Training Animal Pets.

We have had a number of letters from our little readers asking us to tell them how to train pets of various kinds, and we select one to be answered on this weeks page. It asks us how to train rats We suppose 1t means the fierce gray, shaggy rats that are to be found about old buildings of all sorts wherever there is chance of their getting bare living.
 White rats are very easily tamed-in fact, they seem to be born tame-but the common, everyday, brownish gray rat is very different. It is very hard to tame them unless they are captured when young, but 1t can be done. There are two ways One Is to starve them until they are so very hungry that they have lost all of their natural fear and savage ness. We do not believe in this method, as it Is certainly very cruel. It Is much better to let the poor animal go free at once than to try to break its spirit by such torture.
 The second way is to feed the rat a

WOODLAWN REALTY COMPANY
And the Splendid Work of This corpor' ation in Building Up and Adding to the Attractiveness of
 Lovely Woodlawn.

In view of it's rapid growth and for "alli- teration's artful aid Birmingham's s beau tiful little suburban sister might be writ ten ''Wonderful Woodlawn." But there Is nothing wonderful about Woodlawn. True its growth ihas been very rapid the past ten years and from corn and cotton field. with scattering groves and thickets of fittsen years ago the old Forsythe homestead-a cozy log cabin nestled dn- der meath the shade of lovely oaks. and Wood Station, on the Alabama Great Southern Railroad. Woodlawn has come forth a beautiful little city of homes. with $500 inhabitants, city of churches and of schools, and as good people as dwell on the top of Gods green earth.
 No. there is nothing wonderful about Woodlawn. 1t simply lives and grows and makes happy all who dwell within its lim- It's Naturally beautiful and heathful, the refining influence of a cultured people is in evidence along the residence streets, where the cozy cottages and stately homes are ornamented by sweetest blooming flowers. shady oak and fructifying or chard.
 Nothing wonderful about the rapid growth of Woodlawn because Woodlawn was a necessity. The beautiful site upon which it is dbuilt. was quite naar busy growing Birmingham Woodlawn was started right,' by the right kind of people, with view Of making it just what 1t is- a beautiful, quiet, peaceful, law abiding little city of homes. And that is what Woodlawn is today. With a goodly city government, with splendid public school system and elegant school building that would do credit to any city, with water works, electric lights street cars and tel ephone service same as those enjoyed in Birmingham, Woodlawn is veritable city.
 Away from the smoke and rattle of the manufactures, away from the influences of the evils which beset some of the larger ' cities, there IS quiet and calm repose at Woodlawn Rest there for the weary business marts
 Only three, rAnd half miles from the city of Birmingham, with two splendidly equipped street car lines, and a ten min ute schedule from all of Woodlawn into the heart of this city, the people are made to feel themselves a art of Birmingham, and truly this is so. Woodlawn enjoys the advantages of three of the great rail- roads entering Birmingham-has her de- pct express office and postoffica.
 Woodawn Is modest, too Her people are not given to boasting, and she verily expects, not to become a great big city of herself but one day, not far distant to become part of Birmingham, and a very important part she will be, for when a few years hence she bids Great Birming- ham embrace her within her corporate limits. she will bring with her popula- tion of 10000 splendid progressive people,

 Motor tires. 1t may be mentioned, are either vulcanized in a mould or are made up by hand after the rubber has been vul- canized in the strip; tho latter is the cheaper method of the two, the provision of large and costly moulds being obviated. Experience, however, tends to the conclu- sion that the former process gives better results, and 1t is upon these lines, we im- agine, that the industry which is now about to develop in this country will pro- ceed. The provision of moulds for arti- cles of much less size than these motor tires has long proved a somewhat thorny point in the rubber manufacture; much money may easily be sunk in the prepa- ration of moulds for which the use is only intermittent or even transitory, and in the case of special orders it is very generally the custom to require the purchaser to provide, or at any rate pay for, his moulds. It Is then largely from a fear of sinking money in moulds that might speed fly prove useless owing to new develop ments in the business that disinclination has been shown by our rIber firms to en- bark in this trade. The result of this La- odlcean policy is now plainly eveident in the name which the French tires have the name the French tires have gained for themselevs. not only abroad, but with the members of our own automatic clubs
