TIE COOKBOOK.

A heavy salad Is always out Of place
In an elaborate dinner. Mayonnaise Is

Of the salt.

said a physician, according to the Phil
adelphia Record, land every one, at
one time or another, has done a little
sleepwalking. | myself when a lad

Blond persons are more apt to be
somnambulists than dark folk. and in
cold climates there Is more somnamDu-
lism than in warm ones. In certain
Greenland villages, l have been told,
the hut doors are locked from without
by a Waterman in order that those

How the cobra Give. warning.

The most dangerous reptiles Of India
and Africa are the cobras. No snakes,
not even rattlesnakes, are more dread
ed, and with reason. AS the rattle
snake warns the ear by its significant
rattle" so the cobras warn the eye by
the mode in which they expand the up
per part of the body when irritated.
This expansion is produced by a sud
den movement of the ribs of that re-
gion Of the body. Usually they incline
backward. but the animal when irritat-
ed makes them stand out at right an
giles to the body and so, Of course,
forces outward the skin which covers
them. Thus the neck. or part just be-
hind the head. becomes greatly ex,
banded and fattened. as 1t also does,
though In a less degree. in the Austria
liam blacksRake.
This expansion is called a hood, and
so the animals are called hooded
snakes. In some of them there is on
the back of the hood a dark mark,
something like q pair of spectacles. and
they have therefore been called specta'
Gle snakes.

Where u Comes --o- ~-- How Il
ahouId BE Treated.
The normal secretion Of the oriice
Of the ear is the product of glands
situated In the outer half OF the canal
only. This secretion-the eerumen, or
ear wax-is slowly poured from the
gland ducts as a thin. yellowish liquid.
AS it quickly loses a large amount Of
its watery elements by evaporation
and becomes admixed with dust II
forms a thin layer, waxlike in color
and consistency, which normally COW
ers only the outer portion of the canal,
that in which the glands are located.
This layer of material probably has
its chief function, In common with the
few small hairs in the same location,
In protecting the vibratory membrane
the drum-from the contact of dust.
1t is interesting to observe that the
exit of this layer of wax is accom-
plished by nature chiefly with the aid
Of the motion communicated to the
ear canal by the movement OF the Jaw
in chewing and talking, a motion read
lily felt by touching the orifice with
the finger tip during these processes.
The constant Increase of the secretion
Is therefore provided with a CORE

as imperceptibly as the constant loss
Of the superficial layer of the skin from
the surface of the body.
This explanation serve to make
clear why the use of a spoons, pins
or hairpins Is unnecessary. The use
Of such objects Is not only superfu-
GUS, but it is often the cause of the
very condition which those who use
them would prevent.
Even too vigorous washing with q
twisted cloth or sponge, for example,
may result in pushing the wax back
Into the canal until a mass sufficient
to block the entire opening is accumu-
lated.
The first intimation of the presence
Of impacted wax is often the sudden
occurrence of a considerable degree OF
deafness. This is most likely to hap
pen on a damp day or just after or dur
ing a bath. A slight amount Of mois-
ture causes the mass to swell so that
the narrow chink previously existing
between the mass and the canal Is

EFFECTS OF VIBRATION.

Waves of q Violin.

Waves OF q Violin.
A man was conveyed to a hospital
In Paris suffering from an accident
which resulted In a serious wound.
This wound refused to heal, and all
the various treatments applied to it
failed to effect the desired end. The
man was attacked from time to time
by violent paroxysms, and death APP
peared certain. At length the surgeon
enlisted the services of a good violin
player and treated the sufferer to a
musical remedy. The patients parox-
ysms ceased. and from that time the
wound began TO heal. The violin play
Ing was continued at intervals till re-
coyery was ass1-ed.
In another case the wound continued
to suppurate despite all that could be
done. The patient was calm and re-
signed. but nothing could be done for
the wound. The violin was called into
requisition In this instance also, and
the instrument WAS played close TO the
injured part. which vas barred for the
purpose. The surgeon 500 observed
a change. The wound assumed a
healthier appearance, and the process
of healing began and progressed rap
idly.
1t is an ~undoubted fact that certain
vibrations can effect cures, but the Vi
brations must be strictly in accord
anee with the malady or nature of the
wound. Some enthusiasts &c so far as
to assert that the character of individ-
nails can be changed by the constant

rriumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back. or they may be re
moved entirely; bones are spliced;
pipes take the place of diseased sec
tions of the veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds, bruises,
burns and like injuries before inflam-
nation sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an
antiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep a bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it win save you
time and money, not to mention the
Inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by all
druggists.

Heavy Increase in Railway Travel

General passenger agents of the big
railroads say that the volume of pas
senger traffic throughout this country
now is so great that a mountaineering
year for this branch of railroad traf-
fic is indicated. Within the last five
years some of the railroads have more
than doubled their passenger bust
ness.
Up to date this year the principal
increase in the number of passenger
tickets sold by the railroads is for
east and west travel. This is said to
be due largely to the increase in pop
ulation in the eastern states, the con-
slant current of immigration west
ward, and the frequency with which
eastern and western people visit each
other. The tourist business also is
large.
y large proportion of the increase
in the through passenger traffic goes
to the Pacific coast lines. Special
excursions to the Yellowstone park,
the grand canon of Arizona, and other
scenic resorts in the far west are be-
coming very popular.
