FOR AID OF WRECK VICTIMS
Mrs. darlington Booth Suggests That
Trains Carry Anesthetics.


Trains Carry AnRsthetics.
Moved by descriptions of the suffer
ings endured by victims of recent rail-
road wrecks, Mrs. Maude Ballingtcn
Booth has sent letters to the presidents
of leading railroads in the United
States recommending that trains be
equipped with anGsthetics, to be USED
In rendering unconscious the dying or
injured PASSENGERS pinned underneath
the wreckage of cars.
This plan, Mrs. Booth says, is not the
idle suggestion of moment, but comes
from one who travels great deal anu
who has frequently seen unfortunate
men and women imprisoned In wreck
age while manned or burning to death.
She advises that every train be fitted
out with ether, chloroform and sumu-
Iants. for use in emergencies, or that
a case filled with them should be in the
possession Of every train conductor.
"In view of the serious accidents
which have been agitating the public"
writes Mrs. Booth, "and the palnfpi
details which have aroused so much
humane sympathy, I trust the sugges-
ton contained in this letter will re-
ceiye some consideration and, If found
practical, may be adopted by your road.
I am a very extensive traveller, spend
ing many days and nights Of every
month upon the road, and therefore
any question which affects the life or
comfort Of passengers or Of the brave
men ahead comes very closely home to
me-"
Mrs. Booth goes on to say that re-
Gently and in the past many survivors
Of wrecks have had to witness the ag-
ony of injured victims whom they could
not aid. If dumb animal were seen
in similar circumstances, she says, its
life would be ended by swift blow or
q merciful shot.
"Why not" continues Mrs. Booth,
equip every train, or, better still, the
conductor Of each train, with a small
case containing chloroform, ether, slim
ulants, bandages, lotions for bruises
and antiseptic solutions for the wash
ing of wounds? These could be packed
in q very small case and would repre-
sent no very costly outlay"

nemand For Plant poctors.

Plant doctors are coming into de-
mand. In most of the English colonies
the official botanical staff is no longer
considered TO be complete without a
specialist in plant diseases. Their re-
searches ard reports are invaluable to
agriculturiSts.

Flat Life.

In such a dwelling as the average
"dat' of the north and west the pri-
vacy of home is reduced to minimum.
The footsteps Of the tenants, the roll
ing of their perambulators, the cries Of
their children, the varied odors of their
breakfasts, lunches and dinners, are
onnipresent and not to be banished
even by mental science. If they are
unsteady inclined, the others must lis
ten perforce, and have no other redress
than to begin counter performances.
Some cheerful writer said, "While a
man can sing he can work." but the
trouble often is that while he is sing
ing other people are unable to work.
Such forced participation in the lives
of others is irritating and upsetting to
the nerves, and though we may be will
ing to weep with those who weep and
rejoice with those who rejoice we
would prefer to have some choice in
the matter.-New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat.

Laugh and BE Glad.

eff we cannot all have a piazza, ev-
cry one may feel the sum- says an Ital-
ian proverb which is characteristic of
that patient, cheerful race.
But, after al, it is the exceptional
life which has not in it much of the
sunshine. There is always gloom for
those who wish to dwell in shadow, but
an effort of the will often carries one
out of that morbid desire into the clear
er, SUMMER mood
Difficulties and troubles, if bravely
met, make strong men and women, but
endless worry and anticipation of evil
cannot fail to weaken the will and the
character.
Laugh and be glad now, today. If
you wait till you conquer your little
world, you will never laugh and be
glad 1t is better to live in Il castle in
the air than in the dungeons we allow
our low spirits and forebodings to build
for us

On the quiet waters of the pond, says a
naturalist. He walked al about the
sites Of his bark, surveying the situa-

that lie was really afoat and about a
yard from shore seemed to be fully
comprehended he looked out for the
nearest land.
This point fairly settled upon, he I'M

He threw it as far as possible in the

the shore and made fast to the spires
of grass. Then he turned himself about
and in true sailor fashion began to haul
in hand over hand on his cable. Care
fully he drew upon it until his bark
began to move toward shore. AS it
moved the faster, he the faster drew
upon it to keep his hawser taut and
from touching the water. Very soon he
reached the shore and quickly leaping

HasaIt Columns In Mexico,

There are columns Of basalt in Mex
leo which may be regarded as one Of
the natural wonders of the world. They
may be seen at Regla falls, and there
Alexander Won Humboldt saw and adj
mired them when he took his famous
journey round the world. AS regular
and symmetrical these columns are as
though they had been fashioned by
human hands, and yet they are entirely
natural and of volcanic origin. They
are of great height, and no one can see
them for the first time without becom-
ing greatly impressed.
In Fingaps cave, Scotland. there are
columns of basalt somewhat similar to
these, and on st. Helena there are 9TH
ers, though the latter, instead of stand
ing erect, are piled together on the
ground and look like trunks Of trees.

The Trajectory OF 81 Thing.

The trajectory of thing is the path
of a bullet or anything else passing
through the air from the gun to the
place where it strikes. Generally the
word is applied only to bullets and can
non balls. In shooting at an object
near at hand you aim point blank, be-
cause the bullet practically reaches the
target before it falls at all, but when
YOU fire at a distant object you must
aim above it, so that the bullet may
have room to fall and yet hit the object.
The desire of every marksman is to get
a trajectory as fiat as possible, so that
the bullet shall have no need of falling
very far. \ fat trajectory is obtained
by increasing the speed of the bullets,
by diminishing their size and increas-
ing the powder charge.

An Aufhority's Method of Making
the Genuine Article.

the Genuine Article.
Following is the method for making
the true Neufchatel cheese:
The fresh mornings milk about 90
degrees) is set in stone jar holding
about forty pounds or less, and only
rennet enough to coaGulate it il about
tWenty-four hours is added when stand
ing in a room of about 60 degrees, and
''hence it is necessary to use a reliable
rennet extract" The jar may be COW
cred with wooden blanket or the like
to keep the temperature uniform.
When coagulated, the whole mass is
poured into q cheeseclOth, which is Ell
Their placed in q basket Or hung up on
four supports fixed for that purpose.
Here it is left twelve hours to drain.
Then the cloth is gathered together
round the curd and placed in q square
wooden box with perforated bottom
and sides and a pressboard put on with
weights, say a few stones, and if more
weight is needed a small lever press.
1t is pressed for twelve hours and then
kneaded by hand on dry cloth into a
uniform stiff paste, and it requires ex-
perience to know the right consistency.
If it is too moist, new dry cloths are
placed under it, ana it is worked until
dry enough. But if too dry, it is a sign
that either too much rennet has been
used or the curd has been pressed too
much. In this case some new curd is
added and carefully mixed with the
other.
When CT the right consistency, it is
put into the molds, little tin cylinders
of 215 inches diameter and inches
high. AS far as that goes, any little
empty tin can may be used by unsolder-
ing the top and bottom. After smooth
ing both ends it is taken out again and
sailed on the outside by StreWing the
salt on both ends and lightly rolling
them between the hands covered with
salt.
They are then placed on q draining
board Of any kind that is handiest and
left for twenty-four hours. In the dry
ing room are lath shelves, on which
smooth dry straw is placed. and the
cheeses are laid there without touching
each other. They are turned often
enough not to lose shape or stick to the
straw, and in two or three weeks they
are covered with their first skin"
which is when the white mold showing
after five or six days turns into blue
mold. They are now taken to cellar
with similar shelves, where they are
placed on end on the straw and turned
every three or four days. After three
or four weeks in this place red spots
begin to appear, and the cheese is
ready for the market. 1t takes six
pounds of milk to one pound Of cheese.
This cheese like all kindred cheese,
is hard to produce uniform, unless spe-
cial rooms are provided, and l describe
the manufacture just to give an idea
about the principle. Experimenting in
the making does not cost much, as
two or three gallons Of milk is all that
is required, and the outfit need hardly
cost anything.-Monrad's A B G Of
Cheesemaking.
