Too Small for Its Age.

A gentleman who had employed an
old colored carpenter TO Go piece Of
rather delicate cabinet work for him
was pleased beyond his expectations
with the result
Wishing to show his satisfaction, he
after paying the price the old man
asked-took from the sideboard bot
tie of extraordinarily fine whiskey that
had just been sent him and poured a
little into glass.
Uncle" he inquired, "have iou ever
tasted whiskey fifty years old?"
mo, sab, l never has" replied the
old darby, his voice trembling with
anticipation.
well, try that, then" said his en-
ployer handing him the glass, land
tell me what you think of it,
The old fellow received it reverent-

ecstasy.

two methods of increase, cuttings Of

are more favorable to them, and the
Labor involved in covering and uncover

done as early as the state of the wood

Heat Hints From India.
From the New York World.

Though Britain Is itself cool country
English soldiers have plenty of experience
in India, which isn't, and the British war
authorities are constantly testing new de-
vices for avoiding sunstroke. A metal lin
ing for army helmets was tried out at AL
dershot during the recent maneuvers with
out decisive results. Sunstroke occurs in
the British army in India not in the hot
test months. but in the muggy weather
just before the rainy season. The rules for
safety in hot weather are: Eat little es-
pecially of mere fuels. such as fat; take
fluids freely. as they aid the perspiration
cooling mechanism; wear loose, porous,
thin. light-colored clothing: beware of
over-exercise in hot, damp air.
Indian experience frowns on the no-hat
fad. Kipling's advice to the "recruity' is
You must wear your 'elmet." Protect the
eyes and brain and spinal cord by hat
brim for the eyes. hat for the head, and
brim or handkerchief or high collar for
the nape Of the neck. In this country the
coat protects the rest Of the spinal cord
but in India an extra layer Of thin cloth
is often sewed into the middle of the back
of the jacket. Meanwhile the scientists are
still discussing whether heat prostration is
caused by visible sunlight or by the ''Roent-
gen rays" therein.

Security at Sea.
rom the National Magazine.

Within ten years thanks to better ships
and better navigation. the death rate of
sailors has decreased one half. and Is now
only thirteen per 1,oo0. or A. or 80 per cent
below the rate for all inhabitants of such
cities as Boston, New York or Chicago
though, of course, such comparison must
not be pursued to its last analysis of why
or wherefore, but taken for what it is
worth a sufficiently surprising statement
of an actual fact. Out of 10000 accidents
reported to the Travellers Insurance Com
pany, 2,413 occurred to pedestrians and $50
to persons who were comfortably at homo
indoors. No fewer than 1,Sl6 accidents
were due to riding driving, $50 to vari-
GUS sports, 400 to bicycling. and All to rail-
way travel. while only seventy of these
0,eO0 accidents occurred upon the ocean.
Making all due allowance for the obvious
fact that there are always many more per.
sons walking, indoors, engaged in
pastimes, or railway journeying than there
are at sea, these figries are still signfh-
cant.
One great steamship company, with forty
vessels: lost only one seaman in a year,
and 1t was recorded Of the celebrated IN
man line some years ago that it had con-
sengers. In the year 1890 the trans-Atlan-
tic liners made nearly 1000 voyages from
New York 10 the various ports of the
united kingdom and the continent carry
ing 100000 cabin and $4,000 steerage pas
senRerS across 1900 miles of boisterouS
ocean. And yet in this entire year there
was not one accident costing the life of a
single one of these more than half a mill
lion people,
