THE VALUE OF PAIN.

calls Atte1tion to the Fact That D.s-
ease Exists.
Pain Is not disease: IL is a symptom
calling attention to the fact that
disease exists. We do not reno Va the
disease by stopping the pain. Head
aches usually arise from disturbances
In digestion, due to overeatirg. eating
freely OF soft foods, making bad COM
hinatlons of foods, too much OF a va
riety at meals. etc. Fermentation and
decay Of the foods with the formatios
Of poisons and irritants result. The
danger is reported at headquarters.
The thing to do is to heed the voice of
the faithful sentinel, assist nature to
get rid Of the impurities generated,
either by washing out the stomach,
drinking freely Of water, fastiI & for
day, by vigorous exercise OF eiimina-
tive baths. Recognize in the pain the
voice Of friend calling attention to
the fact that we have done wrong, and
resolve never TO violate the Il Ws OF
health on this point again. In a day
Or so the transgressOr would feel well
and would be able to keep from getting
into the same or a worse condition by
avoiding the causes. This is not the
way these symptoms are usually treat
ed. Pain Is looked upon as an enemy,
not as the voice OF friend. The sick
one goes to a physician and demands
something that will stupefy or paralyze
the nerves-the pain must stop at once.
He is given an opiate. the pain stops;
the food still keeps on decaying in the
stomach; he imagines he is well. The
disease still exists; the symptom alone
has been removed The faithful senti-
mel has been knocked down. The
means of telegraphic communications
to headquarters has been severed. The
enemy has his own way and is able to
go ahead undsturbed in his destruc-
tive work. The watchers are asleep
under an anaesthetic or opiate. The
enemy enters the camp. Poisons that
are generated in the stomach through
errors in diet, overwork and irritate
liver, the lungs and kidneys, through
which they are eliminated, and finally
result in Bright's disease;or the lungs
being weakened, are not able to resist
the germs of the disease that are in
hailed. He falls a victim to tuberculo-
sis and is now in a serious If not an
incurable condition. The only safe
way is to study the human body and
become familiar with the laws upon
which health, happiness and life de-
pend. Prevent pains, woe and sick
ness by avoiding their causes.--Life

A Missouri Ministers Theory.

of Independence, says the Kansas City
Journal. He chose for his text Revela-

throne said, Behold, l will make all

contended that man has been deteior-
ating IN cntally, morally. and physi-
cally, since the creation, and that he
is now farther from a state OF moral
perfection than ever. Human civili-
zation is describing a descending
scale" he said, in part. Man is Just
as wicked today as he was in the days
Of barbarism. He is Just as blood
thirsty now as he was then. The
only difference apparent is that now,
in these days of civilization, he is a
polished assassin instead OF a pro-
Gained barbarian" He illustrated
his argument that man is deteriorat-
ing mentally by imploring his hearers
to note the fact that every great man.
from the statesman to the poet. that

A WIRELESS S
TORPEDO e~ va
English Submarine Des-
troyer Steered by Use
of Marconi System

The explosive charge and the driving
engines are placed in the same posi-
tions, but the gyroscope, the most ex-
pensive piece of mechanism. is dis
pensed with. In its place Is substituted
delicate electrical apparatus for ac-
tuating the rudder.
The apparatus upon the shore or
electrical waves to the travelling tor
pedo comprises a powerful induction
coil and a small handwheel. reversible
in either direction. This the officer
manipulates in the same manner as
the steering wheel of a vessel. the tor
pedo turning to the right or left, ac-
cording to the movements of the
wheel.
The celerity and facility with which
the torpedo answers the movements OF
the helm, Notwithstanding its dis
tance from the transmitter, are re-
markable.
1t was dispatched straight out to
sea, continuing in straight line until
it had travelled 200 yards, which point
was the maximum range over which
the ether waves could be transmitted
in this particular instance. 1t then
simply circled round and round until
its propelling power was exhausted
The range over which the ether waves
may be transmitted simply depends
upon the intensity Of the electric cur
rent, and since Marconi can establish
communication over 30 miles. torpe-
does might be manipulated at the same
distance.
When the projectile enters the water
from the tube a float is detached, and
this serves the same purpose as Mar
coni's high mast.

AN ELEPHANTS SKIN.

"A NJ

We have all heard Of skin being
grated on to human bairgs, but Of all
wonderful surgical achievements that
Of grating a square yard Of skin os
TO an injured elephant Is certainly the
most wonderful on record. This lat
est triumph OF animal surgery was
performed on n circus elephant named
Belle, which sustained painful accl-
dent. just as she was getting out OF
a railroad car It received sudden
jolt. owing TO the brake falling to
act properly The elephant was thrown
down and struck her shoulder heavily
on a small iron cage that was standing
ncar The skin was partially torn off
ana generally lace atcd over a space
Of quite one square yard in extent.
Inflammation set In and was followed
by considerable fever. and the ele-
phant. which was the more valuable
because she had calf, was in grave
danger Of losing her life. The special
lists decided that a wholesale opera
tion In skin grating was the only
thing that wou do the elephant any
boou' nut an ephants SKIN is as
thick as n plank, so It was not an
easy undertaking. The great opera
ton was undertak for hwi h in the

son was the nsst elephant selected to
supply new pieces OF skin. The young
animals skin was culiary suitable

For some time experiments have
been carried out with a new torpedo
invented by a young electrician, Mr..
Cecil Varicas of Weymouth. England.
The most salient characteristic of this
new weapon is that its passage and
course through the water can be di-
rected and controlled either from the
shore or the coming tower of battle
ship. AS is well known. the course of
the present Whitehead torpedo is
maintained by wonderfully complex
appliance known as the gyroscope,
fitted within the weapon. The cost OF
the Whitehead torpedo is about SlO,-
000 and although its destructive quail
tiles are so tremendous. yet It's chances
of striking the target are very remote,
especially IL the object at which it is
fired happens to be moving. If it
should miss the target the projectile
simply continues on its journey until
its propelling force is exhausted. when
1t drifts at the mercy of the waves.
But the difficulty has, it is believed,
at last been surmounted by the inven-
tion of Mr.. Varicas. BY means of his
device the torpedo, while travelling at
express speed through the water. and
several hundreds of feet away from
the point of discharge, without any
wire or other connection, may be con-
trolled as eXpeditiously and as easily
as If an operator were on board 10
manipulate its diminutiye rudder. How
is this accomplished? Simply by means
Of wireless tolegraphy.
Externally the torpedo is exactly the
same as the Whitehead projectile. The
dimensions are precisely the same, and
the propeller is of equal caliber. The
interior, however, is vastly different

POliteneSS
Made to Pay

It pays to be polite even TO the hum
blest of mortals. From a sordid stand
point courtesy is the best policy and
besides the satisfaction one derives
from its exercise is sufficient recon-
pense in itself Not infrequently an
act of politeness serves as magic key
to unlock the doors that lead to fame
and fortune. II is averred that one of
the most eminent French statesmen OF
to-day, NJ. Delcasse, owes his brilliant
career to a simple act Of politeness
TO a lady. He began his working life
as very obscure and poorly paid
school teacher. and won Gambetta's
favor by the grace and courtesy with
which he presented him with hamper
of Ariege beans, Of which the great
statesman was very fond. This some
what prosaic incident was the first
turning point in young Delcasse's for
tune. Gambetta invited him to dinner
and was so pleased with his intelli-
gence that he procured for him the
post Of private secretary to very
wealthy deputy. One day when the
secretary was travelling by train with
the deputy and his wife he observed
that the lady was much annoyed py

and was summoned to a banquet by
the king.
MIR. Barrett regards King Khoua-
longkorn as the greatest figure in Asia.
He is intense y up-to-date. His pal
ace, says Mr.. Barrett. is as modern
as the best Fifth avenue mansion.
Photographs sing him American pop
ular songs. Under electric light he
reads English and American maga-
Zines and books. He is an admirer
Of Kipling, whom he entertained fa-
miliaIity in his palace. He speaks
English and the Continental languages
with ease and accuracy.
One day at a state dinner given to
the foreign ENJOYS, the king said to
Mr.. Barrett:
My son, the crown prince, is study
ing American ways and institutions,
and ! shou like to know whether
you would recommend De Tocquevllle
or Bryce for a beginner" b
A salutation of respect in China,
says Mr.. Barrett, is to comment on
the mature and even venerable appear

To Keep Beauty.

American women, who are famous
for their cooking, eat too much, de-
clares n foreign critic They prepare
dishes so tempting that they are thel;
own victims. In youth women care
more for impalpable things, for the
ambitions and the aspirations that
lead them on to all sorts of endeavor
but when they cease to have the spur
that impels toward daily striving for
the fuifillment of some dream they
find solace in eating This fact was
emphasized the other day when a
woman who twenty years ago was a
famous belle, was telling one Of her
friends of the sorrows and disappoint-
ments that had embittered her life.
The friend glanced at the woman, who
weighed at least 200, and said she ap-
peared to be very well. Yes" was
the answer, II have fallen into the
habit of eating to distract my atten-
ton from my troubles" Eating as a
pastime is always a dangerous expert
ment. The woman who would be al
ways beautiful must be abstemious.
She must be able to leave the table
feeling just little hungry. She must
adhere to a sensible diet and she
must observe the most severe rules
about regular meals. 1t is as import
ant that she should be temperate in
candy and ice cream sodas as 1t is that
she should cultivate a youthful spirit.
