The great results come when pa
tients are merely subjected to sim
c,tmo+. .,a co pie and rational
regime whose
chief elements are
pure air, sunlight and abundant nu-
triton under conditions that allow
these factors to exert their influence
to the greatest possible extent. With
the new methods it is no longer neces-
sary for the patient to seek climate
of the kind that has been supposed to
possess some specific property against
the disease, says the Review of Re-
views. The benefits from mild cli-
mates are now seen to be due chiefly
to the effects of the outdoor life that
the climate encourages. But whatever
the advantages OF such a climate they
are liable to be Offset by the depress.
ing influences that follow separation
from home and friends, with conse-
quent melancholy. The expense for
the great majority of patients also
bars the way of the change. There
fore the most desirable treatment on
the whole is that which keeps the pa
tents near home. This is the conclu-
sion reached by the author of one Of
the most important works on pull
monary tuberculosis, DR.. S. A. Knopf,
of New York, who expresses his thor
ough disbelief in the specific curative
7
quality of any climate, and therefore
would place sanitarium where ii
would do the greatest good to the
greatestnumber. Heholds that it is es-
sential to the majority of tuberculous
patients to be treated and cured in the
same, or nearly the same, climate
where they will have to live and work
after their restoration to health.
A curious outcome of technical ed
ucation for women was shown dur
Technical Edu. ing the past year
in the case of a
man who by fail
ure in business was reduced to pov-
erty. He had capable family, and
his daughters at once sought for sit
uatlons as dressmakers and milliners.
In the latter trade there was no
prospect of immediate remuneration,
as it is customary for the beginners
to give three months of service both
| spring and fall without receiving
wages. The second daughter got a
| place to sew in dressmaking estab.
lishment at small wages, and the ia.
TIERS efforts to make a living were
hampered by his advanced years
Then the mother took hand, says
an eastern contemporary. She had
been raised on farm and sought
and found employment tying up vege.
tables for market. In this industry
the chief requisites are careful count
ing and honesty, early rising and in
dustry. She actually made enough
money to keep the family for three
months, but then she did not have
to spend money to dress up to thu
situation, and was paid for her worl
at the end of each day.

A curious-looking piece of machin-
cry is the new inspection engine turned
out for the Chicago, Burlington 6
Quincy railroad. 1t is a combination
of a locomotive and passenger car, the
car being set on and around the en-.
gine boiler, so that from the windows
at sides and front the roadbed can be
inspected by the railroad officials to
the greatest advantage. It might ap-
pear such near proximity to the boiler
would mean uncomfortable warmth,
but this is avoided by an extra thick
ness of plastic tagging, as it is called,
q nonconductor of heat, In connection
with an air chamber between this and
the floor of the car. The machine is
lighted with electricity, even to an
electric headlight, and ten lights dis
tributed under the engine to afford
light when oiling. 1t will be used con-
stantly on all inspection trips.

One of the officials of the Philadel.
Phia mint says: There is always a
scarcity of pennies in the west and a
superabundance of them in the east.
Every little while the banks out there
set up boot and cry for pennies, but
our banks here are ever glad to ri2
themselves of their surplusage in
these coins. 1t is difficult to see why
such q state of things should be-

The statement that Americans
spend from s4oo,ooo,ooo to $500, ,ooo 900
annually on account Of their summer
vacations is probably not wide of
the mark. It is interesting in so far
as 1t is indicative of the vacation or
recreation idea. People generally ara
coming to recognize that there is a
limit to physical and mental resist
ance. and that, as Longfellow so apt
" put it, one must play the part Of
an unstrung bow" The man who
drops the working habit gets near to
natures heart in relaxing, temporary
exemption from business stress and
strain, is the sensible man.

NUTTERXILLE.


Fred Ventzke, the genial and enter
prising agent for the United States
Farm Cream Separators, is doing a
hustling business this summer, having
sold this spring a dozen separators, all
of which are giving the best of satisfac-
ton. This machine recommends itself
and is superior to any other on the
market. Cream separatOrs for family
use are getting to be quite the fashion
in this county, as most farmers would
rather handle their own milk and make
their own butter Mr.. Ventzke always
has supply of separatOrs on hand
Those wanting a machine will find it to
their interest by calling on MIR. Ventzke
or drop him a card at Wausau, Wis,
and he will call and explain the merits
of his machine.
E. j. Rifieman closed his school in
the Reinhart district, with appropriate
exercises last Saturday evening. There
was quite a delegation of prominent
Wausau educators present, among
whom were Mr. and Mrs. j. P. Briggs
Rev. Adam Fawcett, w. j. Farrell, Mrs
J. A. Shields and Mr.. Wells, of the
County Normal Training School After
partaking of bountiful supper of fresh
Strawberries and every other good
thing that a farmer can produce, at the
home of John Reinhart, this scintillat
ing group of psychological and peda-
gogical expounders repaired to the
school house where a large crowd OF
people had gathered, and an interest
ing program of songs, speeches and
recitations was carried out Messrs
Wells, Briggs and Fawcett each gave
an interesting and instructive talk to
parents and pupils, at which all were
much pleased and profitted. Thanks,
ladies and gentlemen, for your kind
ness. Come again.

There are only two directions in
which the muzzle of a gun can safely be
pointed; these are up or down A shot
fired in air can scarcely injure any
one or anything and one discharg-
ed into the ground is equally harm
less. Therefore, i'll all the different
positions which the gun assumes, see
that ii is pointed either up or down.
Sometimes a man will he seen who
carries his gun reversed, holding it by
the muzzle while the fore end rests
on the shoulder and the stock projects
behind. Happily. this practice is not
common, for it is extremely dangerous,
and many mel have been killed by
carrying their guns in this way. If
man stumbles or steps in 4 hole or
catches his foot Oh root and falls. his
gun will very likely be thrown for
ward with the muZzle directly toward
Ills body and may easily enough be dis
charged.
Sometimes one may see Il hOy or
even 4 man who will carry the gun
across the back OF the neck. with one
arm over the stock and the other over
the b rrelS. sometimes with the hand
resting on the muZzle. This is certain
10 give a very uncomfortable feeling
TO any one who happens 10 be walking
by the side Of the person carrying his
gun in this fashion and opposite the
muzzle end. While the danger OF a
discharge is perhaps not great. it is IN
pleasant 10 be walking along with a
gun pointed at your neck or head
