and late at night persons addicted to
the habit blush most often and most
/ violently" says the doctor, VINO dis
j tinguishes between two kinds OF
DISTINGUISHING caused by ex-
! traordinary constituencies, extreme
| bashfulness or modesty, and blushlng
! because of the blusher's apprehension
of the act of blushing.
! A certain youEs lady, extremely
pretty. was driven 60 forsWear society
because the unfortunate affection OF
! blushing extended to her beautiful
neck and arms and thus prevented
her from appearing in full dress.
This young woman suffers not only
outwardly, but she loses all self-con-
troll when blushing. Her thoughts are
''all mixed up" and she cannot speak
connectedly.
She underwent treatment for ner-
vousness, but the doctors could not
help her.
Another singular case was that OF
leading actress, who consulted the
doctor. "She had ruined her COM
plexion,'' said he, t'by excessive use
of white grease paint applied to cover
her bushes, which marred her per-
Torrance.
"She blushed whenever anything
went wrong behind the scenes or OF
the stage, and had no control Of her
emotions. She is very young
woman; I never met with the trouble
among actresses Of mature years
The doctor says that strong men do
not blush except under extraordinary
circumstances; that blushing is truly
a mark Of effeminacy. Blushing men
are seldom cured, for they are often
sufferers from heart disease.
Il have known blushing fits, SO
called,'' said he, ito last for hours, &C
companied by irregular pulse and ex-
cited heart. To blushing men and
women with families l say: If you
have a boy or girl who bushes under
a reproach, or for fear Of being found
out, DO not tell them of it, for if you
do you will arouse in them apprehen-
siOns. If the child has any steadiness
of mind, you will undermine it; if ne
has no stamina, you will completely
unsettle him. There are foolish peo-
pie who think their children are in
nocent SO long as they can blush.
What nonsense!' '-Scotsman.

COLLEGE GIRL AND MARRIAGE.

Day instruction,


There is undoubtedly much t. be
said in favor Of college education for
women, but there is also something to
be said against it.
Very indirectly, of course, but not
the less surely higher education for
women is blow at the hone The
college girl fer four years has a
mighty pretty time Of it. In girls col
leges or co-educatiOnal institutions she
is young queen. The institution is
managed solely in her interest; she is
a great factor in its social life. Is it
any wonder that she gets a high idea
Of herself and her mission in the
world?
In college she meets the best minds
of today and Of the old days. She hob
nobs Familiarity with Horace; she is
taught that Macauley was poor chap
when it came to writing and thinking.
She could show Shelley his mistakes
as a poet, and can tell why Froude
should not be taken seriously as a his
torian. Is it any wonder that she gets
a high opinion Of herself? Is it any
wonder that she has no very correct
! conception of value?
Shall she, one of the elect, marry
plain man who has never read "Ouis
multa gracilis?" Shall she, this young
Diana-MinerVa, go into retirement and
teach an ordinary baby to say "boo?"
Can one blame her very much if, with
her ideas, she hangs back? And that
she does hang back statistics and your
own experience will prove to you.
The question is whethere it is not
possible to keep to higher education
for women without driving them away
from their duties as mere members of
a social organization. One way would
be to shortent he term required 10,
graduation. Another way seems to be,
to urge on all women as strongly as
possible the necessity Of seeing life
whole, and to shove them that kuowl-
edge and happiness are not always the
same thing. But the best way of all
would be to combine more common
sense education with the so-calIed
higher" II girls were taught that to
know how to do the many little things
that make family happier is better
than being able to draw a diagram of
the interior Of cat, higher educa-
ton would be more to the purpose.
1t is important to impress on these
girl graduates the fact that woman
who raises family ''is greater than
she who taketb city."-Woman's
Homo Companion.

field at Rothamsread. They repor
that by sowing the field with whea
for Ii years they received an average
yield of 11.9 bushels to the acre. Fol
the next Is years they dressed the
field with 500 pounds Of nitrate o.
soda to the acre and sOwed it witr
wheat, and the average yield was &c.
bushels per acre, an annual increase
of 245 bushels to the acre. In plaiL
words, nitrate of soda causes three
bushels to grow where one grew be
fore. At the Briarcliff farm in New
York, where agricultural experiments
are made by state experts, Prof. Geo
! T. Powell showed that by an invest
ment Of 1882 in nitrate Of soda the
! hay crop per acre, worth $3.50, was
raised to $3.50.
Nor will the work stop at the trans
muting of air into growing vegetation.
| Chemists have long known that starch
can be drawn from the. atmosphere,
though up to the present time no prac-
teal way has been devised to do this.
But with the Atmospheric Products
company in operation the solution Of
smokeless powders and high explo-
sives are made through it's agency. It
lies at the bottom of the celluloid in
dustry, it makes the art of etching
possible, it distinguishes pure gold
from the spurious, and it gives lunar
caustic, with which a dog bite may be
treated to prevent hydrOphobia.
There is another point in the indus
try that is worthy Of note. Lord Kel-
vim has called attention to the sense
less waste Of oxygen by the modern
manufacturing plants, which, in order
to secure a horsepower Of energy, de-
strOys tons upon tons of that most i'm
pOrtant gas. in the manufacture Of
nitric acid by fixing that which is in
the atmosphere large quantities of
oxygen are created or rather given off
in the process, and the company
which has hitched it's wagon to Mag
lara falls may find in this a most val
liable by-product.
1t was high time that some method
Of securing a new source of nitrogen
was secured. In the United States
alone the consumption of nitric acid
is estimated at 100, 900 tons year. Of
nitrate of potassium we imported in
1901 about 600 tons. Nitrate Of So
dunn, witch is used in dyeing, is con-
sumed to the amount of 10000 tons
each year. Of nitrate of sodium and
nitrate Of calcium the consumption
for fertilizing purposes runs into the
hundreds of thousands of tons every
year in this country alone, and in Eu-
rope, with its exhausted soil, far great
er quantities are consumed.
On the other hand, every large city
III the world wastes millions of dol
lars worth of the valuable stuff. In
England alone the loss Of nitrogen is
estimated at $S0,000,OOO a year. and
England is but a small part of the
globe. The price of nitrogen products
is rapidly increasing, and had not sci
ence come to the aid Of nature nitro
gen would be unobtainable.
But nitrate of soda can be manu-
featured at $40 or $25 ton at Mag
ara, and after the big plant has been
in, operation for some time the price
may perhaps be slightly reduced even
from this low figure. Compared with
the cost Of Chilean nitrates at $3.50
a ton or the nitric acid Of commerce
at $50 a ton, the saving is tremendous.

MY WIFE AND CHILD.
StoneWaII Jackson.

The tattoo beats-the lights are gone
gone
The camp around in slumber lies;
The night in solemn pace moves on
The shadows thicken DER the skies
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown,
And sad. uneasy thoughts arise.
I think Of thee. oh! dearest one,
Whose love my early life haiti
blest-
Of the and him-our baby SON
Who slumbers on thy gentle breast
God of the tender. frail and lone,
Oh, guard the tender sleeper's rest
And hover gently, hover near
To her whose watchful eye is wet
To mother wife-the doubly dear,
In whose young heart have freshly
Two streams Of love SO deep ard
clear;
And cheer her dropping spirits yet.
Now, while she kneels before thy
throne,
Oh. teach her, ruler Of the skies,
That, while by thy behest alone,
Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise,
No tear is wept to thee unknown,
No hair is lost, no sparrow dies!
That thou canst stay the ruthless
hands
Of dark disease, and soothe its
pain;
That only by thy stern commands
The battles lost, the soldiers slain
That from the distant sea or land
Thou bring'st the wanderer home
again.
And when upon her pillow lone
Her tear-Wet cheek is sadly prest
May happier visions beam upon
The frightening current Of her
breast.
No froWning look nor angry tone
Disturb the Sabbath of her rest.
Whatever fate those forms may show,
Loved with a passion almost Wild
BY day-by night-in joy or woe
By fears oppressed, or hopes beguiled,
From every danger, every foe,
Oh, God protect my wife and child!

WATMEA WATER WORKS,

superintendent Boyd returned from
Kauai yesterday, having adjusted a
dispute over the using of streets and
private grounds by the Waimea Water
Works Company, which recently con-
nected Waimea with it's new system.
The company stole a march on the pro-
testants after the first complaint was
made, by hurriedly finishing the work
at night. II was agreed with Boyd
that the system shall be allowed to re-
main, as it is the only means by which
Waimea can get pure water, but the
government shall take it over as soon
as there is money to meet the appro-
priatiOn made for water works at Wal
mea, by the last Legislature.
