The terrapin is thought to have much
influence in causing sickness, and the
terrapin disease Is either a rheumatic
af1liction about the chest and ribs OF
possibly some pulmonary trouble. The
association of the terrapin with diseases
in this portion of the body doubtless
originates from the fact that the ribs
of the terrapln are not free, as in the
case of most of the higher animals, but
are united into one piece.
An Indian who was i'll applied for re-
lief to a shaman and was asked, Odd
you not when Il boy tie strings to the
terrapin's tail and worry the creature?'
The patient admitted that he did.
"Well," said the medicine man, that
is what is the matter. 1t Is the terra
pins turn now, and the terrapin is pay
ing off old scores. You have the terra
pin sickndss. and all your ribs have
grown together and to your breast
bone"
The shaman administered the proper
remedy prescribed in such cases-I for
get what it was-and the man thought
lie was cured.

Although in treaties on dietetics salt
figures as condilnent, 1t is universally
recognized to be something more; in
deed it is an indispensable element of
the food of man and animals. A we'll
known authority asserts, says The
Medical Press and Circular. that when
ever the annual consumption Of salt
falls below twenty pounds per head Of
population the public health is likely
to suffer The deprivation of salt does
not produce definite disease, but re-
duces the vitality of the organism as a
whole, so that the victims of admins
tratiye measures which restrict the
consumption of salt more readily fall
prey to prevailing epidemics, as well
as to endemic maladies.

THE WAY OF A TORNADO,
One That Was Remarkable Both In
Appearance and Action.

Appearance uAu hctlOus
"a tornado that was remarkable both
IL appearance and liz 1ction was one
that travelled from Texas across Okla
homa and Indian Territory in May
1906" says Earl w. Mayo in Ainslees.
"A man In Sherman, Okla, who had ex-
ceptional opportunities for observing
the storm, iIzs1huch as he was caught
up in it and carried several hundred
yards before descending to earth again,
is certain that it was not funnel
shaped He says of it:
"'It looked to me like a great ball Of
vapor rolling over and over toward
me. When l first saw it distinctly, it
was at a hill perhaps an eighth Of
mile away. 1t seemed to be about $50
yards wide and 100 feet high. The mo-
ton was that of ball rolling over and
over, not spiral, and 1t came on rather
slowly, perhaps thirty miles an hour.
Whatever the ball Of cloud struck was
lifted right off the ground.
"'I saw it pick up house after house
between the hill and me- and the cloud
seemed to be full Of flying boards and
timbers. When the ball reached Mrs.
C.'s, the house nearest me, it went
straight up off it's foundations. The
house remained intact until it was
about twenty or twenty-five feet from
the ground then it burst open and the
fragments flew in all directions. 1t
looked like an exploding bomb. The
corn and cotton standing a hundred
feet on either side of the storms path
We're uninjured, but whenever the
cloud struck the higher ground 1t
Spread out, covering a wider strip of
the surface.
"'When the cloud struck me, I went
up lightly and easily and the sensation
was not unpleasant, but l came down
hard and was badly shaken up, al
though not seriously injured. On the
highway north Of Sherman fence wires
were torn from the posts and pounded
into the hard surface Of the road dis
lance Of two or three inches
"A .Ivil WORD.
A French king once said: "If civil
word or two will make man happy,
he must be a churl indeed who would
not give them to him." If this feeling
were acted on, how much happier the
world would be! We may say Of this
kindly temper that it is like lighting
another mans candle by ones own,
which loses none of it's light by what
the other gains.

ON THE VERGE OF SUCCESS
The Easy Meward and the Auda-
cious "GralteP."

A man walked into one of the up
town college clubs one morning and sal
down in the smoking room. His air Of
assurance was hardly in accord with
his tattered clothes. 1t was early, and
none Of the members was about, He
rang the bell. and the steward re-
sponded.

Eyes, sir" said the steward.
II used to be member here, but I've
had hard luck and can't afford 1t any
longer"
Eyes, sir; I'm sorry, SIR" said the
steward.
''By the way, I'm little short of car
fare this morning" said the nervy
stranger. could you let me have ten
cents until call here again."
The surprised steward reached into
his pocket and handed out dime.
"Thank you," said the man. "Now,
I'm also little hungry, having had no
breakfast. Do you suppose you could
gather me up little luncheon?"
The steward was stupefied by such a
display Of nerve.
"And a little whisky with dash of
bitters would not 60 badly with the
food"
The steward fed as one Of the men,
bers entered. The stranger saw the
new arrival and rose hastily.
II am too early for my friend" he
said as he walked toward the door.
II will return later" Then he added
In an undertone, which the doorboy
heard: TOO bad, too bad! That stew
ard was easy. He'd given me the club
If I'd asked for 1t. It's wonder those
members wouldn't stay a<ay." The
man Of nerve walked down the street
with his head bowed in deep thought.

THE WOMAN WHO TAINTED.
Lesson ON Courtesy I'm . Crowded
London Theater.

Lesson ON Courtesy I'm . Crowded
London Theater.
Here Is an example Of the courtesy
and good feeling of the twentieth cen.
fury. How are we to account for itf
The worst Of 1t Is that In such a case
the innocent suffer for the guilty. When
a woman does really faint, there will
be some hesitation before she receives
seat, consolation and brandy.
In an overcrowded pit Of one OF the
London theaters the other night lady,
who was standing, suddenly became
very faint, and another lady sitting
near kindly offered her her seat. Not
only this, but, seeing that she did not
recover quickly, she went and fetched
some restoratives from the refreshment
room. whereupon the lady quickly re-
covered and began to thoroughly enter
into the spirit Of the play, apparently
quite oblivious Of her benefactress.
AS time went on she was asked by
her benefactress if she would object to
her sitting down again. But the other
would none of it. Now l have a seat
I mean to keep it," she replied Where
upon her benefactress gently reminded
her that she had paid for her seat and
thought that she had every right to re-
turn to it. But no amount of talking
would apparently move the former.
A gentleman sitting near, having
watched the episode. leaned forward
and said, do you intend to give up
your seat?" NO." was the reply. Up
he sprang and gently lifted her out Of
1t. An onlooker said to lady next to
her, II like that man." THANK you."
was the reply; che Is my husband"
There seems to be no limit to the re.
sources used by some people to secure
what they have not paid for. The lady
was no more faint than any one else in
the audience.-London Free Lance.

your food may be. it's nutriment is de-
