Pats Trouble.

Pat had come over to America with
the expectation of finding money lying
around loose, only waiting for some
one to pick 1t up OF course this was
long ago. Pat bad soon become disil-
lusionized and was always glad to get
hold of odd jobs which would net him
n little something to help him keep
body and soul together. Finally, be-
coming tired of the struggle, he de-
cided to end 1t all and was very indus
triously tying a rope around his waist
when his landlord happened in on him.
After watching him curiously for n
few minutes he asked:
What's up, Pat? What are you try
ing to dor
''Troyin' to choke meself, av coorse,"
was Pats answer.
Choke yourself? You can't do it
that way. You'll have to put the rope
around your neck"

PLACEBO PRESCRIPTIONS.
An Old Doctor Tells n Secret of His

old doctor, who was revealing the Sc
crets of his profession. IF you do, you
make lifelong enemy and lose your
patient. who sends for another doctor.
Give him something, if it is only flavor
ed water. If the disease is only imagi-
nary, cure the imagination with a
harmless dose, and your patient gets
well. In the profession we call such
prescriptions 'placebOs,' and more won
derful cures are effected by placebos
than the world wots Of. SO also, when
you run across patient who an
nounces the first thing that he cannot

tell him he must. Agree with him and

SWIMMERS CRAMP.
II Is Not So Very Dangerous if the
Victim VIII Keep Cool.

Victim VIII Keep Cool.
If swimmers could be trained to keep
cool under all circumstances, there
would be comparatively little drown
ing among bathers and summer pleas
ure seekers. Cramp is usually assigned
as the cause when some good swimmer
browns. But cramp ought in reality to
be nothing serious Usually is affects
only an arm or leg or maybe only a
hand or foot. Any moderately good
swimmer can keep afioat with one arm
or even without the use of that, yet
good swimmers drown often as a result
of cramp. If such fatalities We're ana
lyzed, they would be more properly
classed as drowning from fright and
loss of nerve. This comes from the fact
that every one is taught in childhood
to fear the water and comes as a
grown man aud a swimmer to fear
cramp The average opinion is that
the man who is attacked when swim
ming in deep water is as good as
drowned. Therefore, when 4 swimmer
feels leg or arm begin to cramp he is
frightened in most cases entirely out
of his wits. He loses his head, begins
to splash and paw and struggle and
then goes down.
What the swimmer should remember
is that he can keep ahoat with very,
very little effort if he will turn on his
back and keep his chest inflated 1t is
the simple matter of floating, which
every swimmer knows and finds very
easy. If the swimmer will keep cool
and float, the cramping limb will fre-
quently relax after a little and he will
find himself as well as ever-Outing.

Australian reptile is SO covered with
spines that, as it has been put, nature

how many spines could be inserted on
q given area. But, unlike its tutelary
deity, who seems really to have spelled
himself Molech, the lizard does not de-

Ancient Trades Unions.

Seven thousand years ago there were
trades unions in Nineveh and Babylon,
and so strict were their rules that in
some cases the penalty of death was
inflicted for infringing them. Each
mans work was strictly defined, and
even the number of hours that he was
allowed to work was stated in the
charter of his guild or union. Later
exactly the same state of affairs ex-
listed In Pompeil, and inscriptions have
been discovered stating specific ap-
pointments of officials to trades unions.
The most powerful of these appears
to have been that of the Fishermen's
guild.
