Always Dying.

Life consists in q series Of changes of

cerned. a machine and primarily de-
pends on food as the most important
factor in keeping it in working order.
When it is said that we commence to
die as soon as we are born. it of course
means that certain parts Of the body
Immediately begin to perish; their ex-
istence is ephemeral; they come and
go, are replenished and decay. They
are the dying parts Of that system Of
life which may last little while, but
which must eventually yield to the in
exorable law Of nature. The nails, the
hair, ETC.. are observable as an instance
Of this decay. The same rule applies
to every other organ and tissue Of the
body, though it is not palpable 10 the

Moreover, the dramatic and opportune
quality Of his work has been perceived

ing from Office in defeat and ignominy
Is not conducive to immediate fame.
Nevertheless he has not been wholly
overlooked by subsequent statesmen.

HEART STlMULANT.
Cold Applications Superior 10 Drafts
OF Alcohol.

Cold ApplSc3 tiO1S superior 20 Dra1ts
OF Alcohol.
There is a deep seated belief amount
ing almost to a superstition that alco-
hol is a very important heart stimu-
liant. especially when this organ is
weak. Winternitz, the great authority
on hydrotherapy in Germany. has
often told US Of the very great value
of cold as a Heart stimulant or tonic
and that it is far superior TO alcohol in
this respect. DR.. Kellogg gives the
method of application as follows:
"The application consists Of a COM
press applied to the portion of the
chest wall over the heart. This COM
prises the space bounded by the second
rib above, the right border Of the
sternum, line falling half inch to
the right of the nipple and the sixth
rib below. The compress should be
large enough to cover this space and
to extend at least two inches outside
of it. Ordinarily the best effects are
produced by employing water at a
temperature Of about GO degrees. The
compress should be wrung moderately
dry and should be very lightly covered.
It is desirable that cooling by slow
evaporation should be encouraged and
be continued for some tine
DR.. kellogg continues: "In Germany
and France it is the custom to admins
ter alcohol to the patient just before
putting him in cold bath. Some prac-
titioners. as Winternitz. administer but
a very small amount, single mouthful
Of wine, for instance, while others
give brandy in considerable quantities.
A few American practitioners employ
brandy freely with the cold bath. The
unwisdom Of this practice will be ap-
parent on due consideration Of the fol-
lowing facts:
Zone purpose in administering the
cold bath is to secure a true stimulant
or tonic effect by arousing the vital
energies through excitation Of the
nerve centers. Alcohol was once sup
posed to be capable Of effecting this
and was used for this purpose in ty-
phoid fever and various other morbid
conditions accompanied by depression
Of the vital forces. At the present
tine, however, it is well known. and
with practical unanimity admitted,
that alcohol is neither a tonic nor
but a narcotic; that it de-
presses and does not excite: that it
lessons and does not increase the ac-
tivity Of the nerve centers. and that
this is true Of small as we'll as large
doses. as has been shown by the re-
searches Of careful Investigators.

the WORD PARADISE.
Its Earliest Meaning Was an I'm
closed Pleasure Ground


The earliest meaning Of the word
paradise appears to have been walled
in pleasure ground. In the Hebrew it
was '.perdes,' . in the Persian 'ferdus, "
and from one or other Of these the
Greeks appear to have derived the
word ''paradeisos," from which we get
our own word. We also know that the
ancient monarchs of Chaldea and As
syria and also of Egypt constructed vast
enclosures of forest land for the preser-
vation of wild animals kept for hunt
ing purposes, and these were also call
ed paradises. Thus, the historical
meaning of the word comes to this: A
space protected from all incursion from
the outer world, in which those who
were privileged to enter were able to
Indulge in such pleasures as pleased
their fancy.
It is easy to see the translation. from
the material to the spiritual meaning,
paradise in the latter sense meaning
the place of the elect or chosen. This
is strikingly borne out by the fact that
the favorite battiecry Of the Moslens,
whose firm belief it is that those who
die fighting go straight to heaven, was.
always Fight! Fight Paradise! Para
disep' And the strong probability is
that they got the word from the Per
sian campaigns Of the eighth century.
The use Of the word in its present form
In the New Testament is Of Greek
origin, and its description as applied
TO the garden Of Eden is probably Of
Hebrew origin, dating from the period
of the captivity.

Praise Of work Wei, Done.

Perhaps there is nothing else so
productive of cheerful. helpful service
as the expression of approval or praise
of work we'll done and yet there is
nothing so grudgingly. so meagerly
given by employers. Many Of them
seem to think that commendation is
dernoralizing and that the voicing Of
appreciation will lead to listlessness
and the Withdrawal of energy and in
terest. This evinces but u poor knowl-
edge Of human nature, which is al
ways hungering for appreciation. But
how mistaken such views are is shown
by the loyal and unstinted service Civ
