COLD WAVES.
They Purify the Atmosphere and

They Purify the Atmosphere and
Beneat the Human System.
The cold wave, so much dreaded by
most people, is really blessing in dis
guise. 1t charges the atmosphere with
fresh oxygen and surplus Of free
electricity. which produces most ex-
shilarating and beneficial effect upon
mankind. Torpid energies are aroused,
physical vigor and resistance increased,
by the advent of a cold wave to such
an extent that any incidental damage
Is more than made up for.
The American climate has always
been recognized as strong factor In
causing the aggressiveness and enter
prise which nave lifted our people into
the first rank among nations and made
us commercially supreme. The cold
wave, with it's, results of increased en-
ergy and yigor, is Il meteorological phe-
nomenon peculiar 10 this country. The
chief of the weather bureau at Wash
ington explains the origin of this wave.
lit appears that with a high pressure
system, rotating with great velocity,
large volumes Of cold air are drawn
down from above the clouds, SO that
the cold wave is "homemade," being
simply a product of motion. The sys-
TEN of motion originates in the north
west, but the cold air comes from
above the clouds.
The cold wave Is not only useful for
its beneficial effect upon the human
system, but as cleansing and purify
ing agency It dissipates the deadly
carbonic acid gas. the product of respi-
ratioh and combustion. and the foul eff
fuviA-of decaying matter. increasing
atmospheric circulation generally and
thereby relieving stagnation.-Medical

BOIL Meat over a slow Fire.

well know from my own experi-
ence how difficult it is to persuade
cooks of this truth (of the utility Of
boiling hot waterl, but it is SO impor-
taht that no pains should be spared in
endeavoring to remove their prejudices
and enlighten their understandings.
This may be done most effectually in
the case before US by a method have
several times put In practice with COM
plete success. 1t is as follows: Take
two equal boilers containing equal
quantities of boiling hot water and put
into them two equal pieces of meat
taken from the same carcass-two legs
of mutton, for instance-and boil them
during the same time. Under one Of
the boilers make a small fire, just bare
ly sufficient to keep the water boiling
hot, or rather just beginning to boil;
under the other make as vehement a
fire MS possible and keep the water
boiling the whole time with the utmost
violence. The meat in the boiler in
which the water has been kept only
just boiling hot will be found to be
quite as well done AS that in the other.
1t will even be found to be much better
cooked-that is to say, tenderer, mere
juicy and much higher fiavored.-Chem-
istry of Cooking.

There was no time to be lost. With
the heavy curtain he made sling un-i

his back. The flames were just creep
ing out of the window below when he
reached 1t. He had to pat out some
spurts as he sat on the ledge. The
fire was streaming out Of the windows
directly below, SO escape In that di-
rection seemed cut off. Farther to
the right was the jutting window Of
an elevator shaft still untouched by
the fire. The other men were raising
a ladder part way up the side Of the
shaft. It was his one hope. Desper-
ately he hooked his ladder In the sill
of the small shaft window, seized the
end rungs with both hands and swung
down to the willing arms stretched
out to receive him. Then he knew no
more.
When he woke up, there were band
ages on his arms and head and an
odor of drugs that betokened the hos
pital. There. too, was Marjorie Gill
fain, her eyes wet with tears.
At sight of her tears the memory Of
his broken promise came with stab
of pain.

Both whalers and naturalists have
usually held that when whales sound

knowledge. One writer on the subjact
estimates that the larger members of
the group dive fully a thousand yards.
In memoir published in Belgium pr.
Racovitza challenges this belief and
states that in his opinion 100 yards is
the maximum depth to which any
whale can dive and that many species
cannot reach anything like that limit.
Says the writer:
Why should whales want to go to
such depths? All whales sound for the
purpose of obtaining food. and In the,
profound darkness Of 1910 yards what
food could they get? Those species
which feed on animalcuies might. per-
haps. obtain what they want But how
about the species which feed on fishes
and cuttles? At n depth Of 1000 yards
they certainly could not use their eyes
to detect mountainous species, and we
have no evidence whatever that they
feed on the self luminous deep sea fish
and cuttles, IL. indeed, there be any Of
the latter On the contrary, the available
evidence indicates that they feed on
ordinary light dwelling fishes and cut
ties which live in much shallower
zones. But this is not all. 1t Is known
that the effects OF a pressure Of more
than three atmasphcres prove fatal to
human life; and, although we may be-
lieye that whales can stand treble this
pressure, or nine atmospheres, which
would occur at about ninety yards
depth, is 1t conceivable that they could
resist the effect of ten times the latter
pressure, or ninety atmospheres? More
over, does 1t seem possible that a whale
whose body is only slightly heavier
than water ut ordinary pressure could
exert the muscular force necessary to
propel that body to depth Of 1000
yards?

Points In Etiquette.

A hostess need not hold herself re-
sponsible for the Mkings or dislikings Of
her guests. She evades this by avoid
ing introductions, hut she does afford
her circle the most charming oppor-
tunities for establishing and maintain
ing pleasant associations. Well bred
persons know how to continue an ac-
quaintance thus casually commenced
provided there is a mutual liking.
When introductions take place at other
than formal receptions, the man is In
troduced or presented to the woman
unless she is young and he old and
distinguished, when she is introduced
or presented to him. The charm Of So
cial liberty is the freedom to retain as
friends such as are wholly sympathetic
to us according to, our individual stand
ards and tastes.
