Baked Milk.

When offering food and drink to the
invalid, one should avoid things very
sweet and very sour, as they are often
very hUrtful to weak stomachs. Most
sick people can take milk, but in many
cases it is not well to give it raw.
Baked milk is good and may be taken
fearlessly into the most delicate stom-
ach. To prepare this properly put two
quarts of fresh sweet milk in a jar
covered with white writing paper,
tightly tied down, and bake lit in an
oven moderately hot until thick as
cream, which will take about eight or
ten hours. A less quantity will not re-
quire so long.-St. Louis Republic.

STEEPLE CLIMBING.
st Is a Dark as Well rs n Dangerous
Business.

Business.
Steeple climbing is in truth clark
business" says the Boston Transcript.
for it is the custom of experts to make
the first ascent and place the rigging
at night. Then, when the townspeople
wake, they are amazed at finding the
the steeple conquered. The man who
makes a success of steeple climbing
must be determined, persistent and
ingenious. He must solve many a
practical problem in hosting great
bodies aloft. He must know how to
fasten a hook over the top of sky
scraping chimney. He must have the
nerve to paint steeple that sways
like pendulum at the slender top
He must be able to tear down, build
up, gild, paint, place electric wires and
do many another task that would be a
problem on the solid earth.
There are many ways of getting up
a steeple, and when all others fail the
man will tie rope round it and then,
with coil on his back, walk round
and round it until the entire steeple is
covered with rope and he has probably
been round it fully 300 times.
But a steeple is not the most difficult
height to climb. Straight, tall chin
neys are the hardest of all. There
man has to work with might and main
to lift himself inch by inch from the
ground to the top. Sometimes the top
is 300 feet high. When it Is reached.
a hook is placed over the edge, pull
ley is made fast, the swinging chair is
hauled up and work begins.
When the chair is near the top, it is
easier to work, because the ropes are
short; but when they lengthen, as the
ground is approached, there is a tend
ency to swing, and the wind gives
impetus
The mans safety depends upon the
hook, and until he has raised himself
almost to the top it is impossible for
him to see whether or not the hook
has been properly adjusted. More than
once steeple climber has seen when
within ten feet of the top that corro-
sion of the iron and the collection of
SOOI nave SO lulCheleQ IuC wall lldI
the hook is merely balancing on the
top, so that the slightest pull in the
wrong direction would drag it off.
Again, the bricks are often loose at
the top, and the hook is likely to tear
them away.
One Of the natural difficulties to con-
quer is the swaying of all high stee-
pies and chimneys. In gale a stee-
pie point will sway foot and a half
Usually it sways from seven to nine
inches. Painting it means reaching
for spot on the right side and finding
it on the left, and when making a dive
for it on the left to see it sway back
to the right. Yet in spite of the con-
slant danger born steeple climber
exults in his work and is at home only
when high above the world He can
stand triumphant at any height if he
can have two and half square inches
to bear his weight.

A Gigantic Goddess Of wor.

In the Japanese capital there is a gi-
gantic image of a woman made of
wood, iron and plaster. The time of its
erection and the name of it's designer
are in dispute, but it is known to have
been dedicated to Hachiman, the god
of war. In height it measures fifty
four feet, the head alone, which is
reached by a winding stairway in the
interior Of the figure, being capable of
holding a company Of twenty persons.
The goddess holds sword in her right
hand and huge painted wooden ball
In the left. Internally the statue is the
finest anatomical model in existence,
every bone, joint and ligament being
represented on a gigantic scale in pro-
portion to the height and general size
of the huge figure itself The large
eyes are magnifying glasses, through
which fine view of the surrounding
country may be had.

STRONG PULSE BEATS.
Cases In which They Are PerceptibIe

cases In Wn1ch Ihey Are Percept1 lie
to the Eye.
'It is not such an uncommon thing"
said a physician, ''to find a person
whose pulse beats can be plainly seen,
and vet 1 suppose there are but few
outside of the profession who realize
the fact. In most persons the beat
of the pulse cannot be perceived, but
the mere fact that the beating is per-
ceptible does not mean that the pulse
is other than normal have come
across number of cases where the
throbbing of the wrist could be plainly
seen, and yet the persons rarely gave
evidence of abnormality in tempera-
ture. They were rarely feverish and
were in good physical condition gen.
orally. Pulses of this kind, from this
view, which is based upon actual OBJ
servations of cases, do not indicate
anything more than an abnormal phys
tcal condition in the formation of the
wrist veins.
81 have met with one case which
was possibly little extraordinary in
that it was palmer and much more dis
tinct than any had ever seen before
1t could almost be heard. The artery
would rise to Il point almost as large
as the ball of the little finger of a
child and would change from the white
of the skin to blood purple with each
beat of the pulse. l found it easy to
count the pulse beats without touching
the patients wrist. l could see plainly
enough to keep the record and in order
not to err in my calculation l tested it
in several ways and found it was cor
rect and that there was no mistake in
my counting with the naked eye."-

THE OLD TIME DERBY.
And How 1t Differs From the Meet OF
These Rushing Days.

And How 1t Differs From the Meet of
These Rushing Days.
1t is strange, indeed, to look back up
on the manners and customs of the rae
ing world in the year of the first Derby
and contrast them with the new meth
DDS. In 1IS0 there swas the journey
down to the little Surrey town, and a
coachman thought himself lucky if he
could force his way from Westminster
without dislodging wheel Ell route
None but the richest class could afford
to drive there at all, for those were
days when tradesmen thought, like
John Gilpin, an outing once in two
years as much as they could afford.
In those days, too, q visit to Epson
meant making week of it. Lodgings
had to be taken in the town by those
who were not fortunate enough to be
invited to share the hospitality of some
local magnate. Racing began about II
a. m., and after witnessing one or two
heats the company would retire to the
town to dine, returning later to witness
the conclusion of the sport
Nowadays the man of fashion for the
most part elects to travel to and fro
by rail. He gets his Derby, as it were,
while he waits. 1t is quite possible for
him to partake of an early luncheon in
Pail Mall, witness the great race with
out acquiring a wrinkle in his collar or
disturbing the nap of his box hat and
land back at his club in time for 5
o'clock tea and the special editions of
the evening papers-"The Classic Eng
lish Derby" by Edward Spencer, in

DON'T READ IN BED.
1t Is a Dangerous Practice While
Lying Down, Says an Authority.

II Is Dangerous Practice While
Lying Down, Says an Authority.
Reading in bed is seriously advised,
so the newspapers say, by physician
as conducive to repair and resting"
relieving congestion" "emptying the
veins overfilled by prolonged eyework,"
etc.
1T is plain that placing the head back
in horizontal position so absolutely
meets the whole problem of relief of
congestion by gravity-and it is such
very important problem-that it seems
strange that people with weak eyes
do not habitually practice reading in
recumbent position perfectly comforta-
bic. Such advice, carried out with alb
solute care as to light and the position
of the book. would in the case of a
thousand busy people add largely to
the number of hours which reading
could be INDUCED in without detriment
to the eyes or general health.
Certainly the one who gives this
strange and pernicious advice could
never have tried the plan. Some years
ago there was described patented de
vice for suspending the book over the
horizontally placed head of a sick per-
son whereby reading would be possible
without holding the book in the hands.
Even then one wonders how the light
could be made to fall properly ON the
page. Without a method of the kind
not even well person could hold
book five minutes above the eyes.
Reading in bed has ruined thousands
of good eyes. Unless one sits up in
bed as if in a chair it is impossible to
hold the book in such a position that
the arms are not quickly tired and so
that the light falls on it properly. When
reading lying down, there is traction
upon the inferior recti muscles which is
highly injurious. Every patient should
be warned never to read in bed except
when sitting up as vertically as in a
chair.-American Medicine.

Origin of the Ratt1esnake Flag.

One of the most common devices
used on the American flags during the
early part of the Revolutionary strug-
gle was an embroidered rattlesnake
above or below the legend Don't tread
on .mew
The origin of this design has been
traced to a remark made by Ben
Franklin. At the time the flag was
adopted, or Immediately before, Eng
land was shipping her criminals to
America and turning them loose on
the defenseless colonists. After sew
eral MURDERS had been committed by
these tlnwelcome immigrants Ben
Franklin (some say in Il joking spirit
suggested that the colonists retaliate
by sending a cargo Of rattlesnakes to
the mother country and turning them
out in the gardens of the mobiles.

MlsTooK HIS MAN.
4 Cautious American Tourist and His
Travelling Companion.

4 Cautious American Tourist and His
Travelling Companion.
A cautious American travelling from
Paris TO Nice some years ago found a
stranger in the compartment in which
he had secured a berth.
Are you Mr.. -" said the stran-
ger.
The American in surprise answered
atfirmatively.
"HaH.' said the stranger. 81 inquired
at the booking Office who was to be
my travelling companion"
The American realized that this was
no ordinary man and soon found him
self almost hypnotized by the stran-
gers commanding eye.
When the man proposed cards, the
American suspected that he was pro-
fessional gambler. He made many ex-
cuses, finally saying that he cared for
none of the games which his compan-
ion suggested.
"All right" was the discomforting
reply: well play anything you like"
When the American mentioned an
obscure French game, which he hoped
the other would not know, and found
his suggestion taken up eagerly, he
was more than ever suspicious.
But" asked the American, "do you
know how to play itr
NO" was the reply, ''but you can
teach me-"
The American now had little doubt
that the man was card expert, look
ing for victim, but, as no suggestion
of high stakes was made, he concluded
to venture and after some hours play
ing had seen nothing on the part of his
fellow passenger that looked like
cheating.
But when next morning his compan-
ion suggested that they play again to
while away the time the American
grew suspicious again and pleaded a
headache.
When t4"y c:'-ered the station at
Nice, the man handed the American
his card. 1t bore the name of. Lord
Russell of Killowen, lord chief justice
of England.-Youth's Companion.
