There is nothing that will afford quick
er relief from the annoying poison of a
mosquito bite than simple household am
monia. This is also good for insect bites,
but for those of the mosquito it seems a
complete antidote. 1t IS worth remem-
bering that a small bottle of ammonia
within reach of your pillow will take
away all pain and itching and prevent
any swelling if you are not too sleepy to
use it promptly,
To many persons the bite Of mosqui-
10 is fully as irritating and almost as
lasting as the sting Of q bee. Ii am
monia is not available. a piece Of or
binary yellow soap answers the same
cooling and healing purpose. Moisten
the soap and spread il thickly over the
spot. In serious cases. onions are eff
fectual but the sting should be well
pressed out before the cut onion is rub
bed upon the skin.
II you live in a mosquito neighbor-
hood and cannot get away from the
buZzing nuisarces. the next best thing
is TO keep the mosquitoes away from
you. In the mountains & ">mudEe" Of
thick smoke is often used for the same
purpose But plenty OF campers would
prefer the mosquitoes.

SELECTING GInssNYnre.

To select glass with discretion il Is
necessary to understand somewhat Of
its manufacture and to recall the prop
critics of the chemicals Of which it is
composed. These materials are chiefly
soda, potash, lime, alumina and oxide
of lead The quality of the glass TO be
manufactured depends upon the
amount of the basic material united
with the silica or sand. The best glass
is made with lead. which gives to it
luster, fusibility and high refractory
powers. Ii is often called flint glass to
distinguish it from lime glass. which is
much cheaper and Of decidedly green
ish tint.
Flint glass is that which is most gen.
orally used for cutting and polishing
1t may be picked out by the clear bell
Ike tone which it sends forth when
struck. This test may be made without
any danger Of breaking the glass If 1t
be held firmly in one hand while the
upper part or edge is sharply struck

only care requisite being TO see that the
glass does not touch any object when

Chinese Pulse Feels

The Chinese physicians,
known, have long had the
paying very particular attenti
pulse. They even pretend toTy
much more minute and accurate
edge of the state of the sick from q
source than European practitioners
any claim to.
The patient is directed to be laid
bed, with his arm resting on q Smalf
cushion. The physician must Re seat
ed, and both parties are enjoined to
main calm, silent and collected. 7 Z
fingers are next to be applied in {
succession, one after another, in ORC
to judge of the compressibility of 4
artery.
The Chinese do not infer solely froIi
the rapidity of the pulsations The =
mode is to compare the number of plj
sations Of the artery with the intervaa
of the respiration of the patient. The
number Of pulsations of man in mod
crate health they consider in relation
to the time Of a natural inspiration and
expiration. Four beats of the pulse
during this period they consider as in
dicating perfect health. If it exceeds
five pulsations, it is considered as too
quick: if under that number, as too
slow respecting good health. 1t is re-
CURED to reckon 80 pulsations in order
to form q correct indication. Their
chief divisions of the pulse are four,
the superficial, the profound. the quick
and the slow. These they consider as
having relation to the four temporal
ments. the choleric. the Sanguine. the
phlegmatic and the melancholy

Passes Away From
Heart Disease.

CHICAGO. Jan. 6.-Philip Dan
forth Armour. philanthropist,
! fttv times a millionaire, and the
( head of the vast packing estab-
/ liShment that bears his name,
died at his home, 2115 Prairie
avenue, at ). IS o'clock this after
noon.
Muscular affection of the heart.
known to the medical profession
as myocarditiS. was the immedi-
ate cause of death. He had been
rapidly recovering from pneu-
monia that for three weeks had
threatened his life. At 8 o'clock
this morning his heart gave way
under the strain Of his recent i'll
ness. his pulse running up to l03.
That was the beginning of the
end.
Mr.. Armour was surrounded by
his family when he died. Those
at his bedside, besides his physi
clan and nurse, were his wife, his
sons wife, Mrs. Philip d. Armour.
Jr.. and Mrs. j. Ogden Armour.
HIS CAREER.
Philip d. Armour made his own
life on lines unique and wholly
original with himself The an
cestoral ArmourS were Connec.
ticut people. but Philip Armour
was not born until after the fam
lily had moved to Stockbridge,
Oneida county. New York.
The California gold fever struck
Western New York in 1919, and
young Armour was the first in
Stockbridge to determine 10 visit
the Pacific coast He obtained
the permission of his parents and
at the age of l started with three
or fonr companions from the same
neighborhood. The almost in
credible part of it was that the
party walked nearly the entire
distance from New York to Cali
tornia
He made money from the start
and at the end of six years be re L
turned home with a fortune.
Becoming dissatisfied with the
qnite life of his native town he
came West again. and. together
with a brot her-in law. established
large wholesale grocery house
in Milwaukee This venture was
also successful and in a years
time he purchased the largest
grain elevator in Milwaukee.
This led to more elevators and
railroad stock.
In 1866 he came to Chicago to
take charge of the Chicago branch
of New York packing establish.
ment The result was that the
Chicago house ceased to be a
branch and the West gained the
largest packing and provision
plant in the world
The property interests for which
Mr.. Armour stood are estimated
at $3.50, 100000. His personal
share of this property is various
~ estimated at from $4,000, 000
TO 100000. 900.
