ed-Burst without Warning.

WINSTON-SALEM, N. c., November 3
Thirteen people are known to be dead

head of large rescuing party and search
Is now being made In the debris for pos
sible additional victims.
The greatest excitement prevails and the
volunteer rescuers are heroically working
In the hope of saving many who are known
to have been carried down by the rushing
water. The colored settlement In the vicin-
ity OF the reservoir was entirely wrecked.
and the negroes are working diligently with
the whites in the search for the missing.
The cause of the disaster was the over
flow of the reservoir, and thorough IN
vestigation win be made in order to ascer-
tain If the negligence of any OF the EN-
ployes Of the pump station was responsible
Tor it. The reservoir burst without warning
and the victims were drowned while asleep

A courageous London dandy has gone to
the theater in knee breaches, and his ap-
pearance there in this garb attracted much
and in general admiring attention. The
attire set off a shapely figure, and its pos
SCISSOR, man of rank, having an evident
genius for clothes, openly joyed in his con-
spicuity. He will hereafter go thus dec
Grated whenever he visits theater, opera or
church, and he will be by no means alone
in the opinion he expresses that the old
style which he thus makes new is much
superior in grace and elegance to the one
made familiar by several generations of use
He sets forth series of reasons WHY the
small clothes terminating at the knee and
then flowing into stocking ornamented or
plain, which in its turn flows into a silver
or diamond buckled shoe, are superior in
symmetry, as In convenience and general
utility, to the kind currently worn They
don't bag at the knees and are not de-
pendent on a finical crease front and back
or on each side, to give them a touch of
style. They balance the figure better"
give increased finish to mans appearance
and don't suggest the walter" They last
twice as long, are more comfortable ladies

merits, they show off good Leg

garment which stands most in the way of

Is Pneumonia ContagiousP
ansas City Journal

Froul the hdusds lily
The advance which medical science has
made in finding the prevention and cure OF
many of the most terrible diseases which
afflict mankind is truly wonderful. Once
the proverb was that nobody could escape
love or smallpox. But today smallpox is
not feared as an inevitable necessarily
dangerous affection. 1t ocurs only occa-
sionaly and when there is a direct viola
ton of the sanitary measures which all
people are aware they should adopt. Equally
SO also is yellow fever a disappearing dis
ease. This deadly malady Is due to filth,
mosquitoes and unwholeSome surroundings.
and its ravages cease where the causes are
removed. The plaques which formerly
swept over all Europe died out with the
installation of water plants and sewer sys-
TENS in the larger cities. Typhoid and tu-
berculosis are now looked upon as COM
batable and avoidable diseases, and this
year some doctors are rating pneumonia In
the same class. This new theory comes
from New York. The efforts which have
been made to abate the ravages of acute
affections of the respiratory organs have
led to the appointment of commission
composed Of expert medical authorities.
This body Of specialists have rendered an
opinion that pneumonia is contagious; that
its prevalence is due to the germs propa-
gated and disseminated in street cars and
public places, and that the enactment and
enforcement of wise sanitary laws would
save many unnecessary deaths. The aver
age death rate per 10000 of the population
in 1900 from pneumonia for cities of the
middle states was 287; for cities in the lake
states 1874; for cities in the southern states.
231; for cities in the western states, 146; for
Kansas City, 1855, and for certain other
enumerated cities, 1853. The largest death
rate was 1853. in Memphis, and the next larg-
est was in New York city, where it reached
800 These figures average well up with
the record made by consumption. So, If the
theory advanced by the New York doctors
is true and pneumonia is in fact conta-
gious disease. there is now a good chance
that the ScOurge will be stamped out.

To Awaken When You Wish.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

FROM Inc ST. LOUIS 6iODe-Democrat.
1--WE hear it frequently asserted that II
persons will impress the thought firmly
upon their minds and continue thinking
about it until they have fallen asleep that
they desire to awake at a certain hour in
the morning that they will do so without
fall" DR.. Joseph L. Boehm tells me- "but
how many people have tried this method Of
insuring a prompt awakening at given
hour in the morning only to find their rest
throughout the night disturbed and uneasy?
1.-The brain will usually respond to the
will and awaken one in the morning near
the desired hour under any circumstances
but to prevent the unbroken, uneasy sleep
the adoption of only very simple device
is necessary. The last thing before getting
into bed take a watch or clock and turn
the hands to the hour at which one wishes
to rise and gaze at this just long enough
to fix the hour firmly on the retentiye
memory Then, IL no other absorbtne
thoughts intervene between that and the
moment one is locked In siumber. the
nights rest will be easy and unbroken, and
promptly at the hour In the morning. as q
rule one will and oneself released from
sleef, and wide awake. There Is no need 4,
keep thinking of the hour continually for
number of minutes. no need to repeat II
over and over in the mind; all this makes
the brain uneasy and results in the uudis-
turbed alumber; simply look at the watch
or clock as have Indicated. and the inllu-
efice of the mind over matter will be clearly
demonstrated In the morning. Try It some

The Fame of Giotto.

In his own day Giotto's fame as a painter
was supreme. He had numerous followers
and these "Giotteschi." as they were styled
continued his methods for nearly hundred
years. But. like all the great men of the
Florentine school. he was master of mora
than one craft. Forget that they were
painters" writes Mr.. Bronson s'they re-
main great sculptors; forget that they
were sculptors. and still they remain archf-
tects. poets and even men of science" The
beautiful Campanile. which stands beside
the cathedral In Florence. and represents
perfect union OF strength and elegance
was designed by Giotto and partly erected
In his lifetime. Moreover. the sculptured
reliefs which decorate its lower part were
al from has designs. though he lived to
execute only two of them. Thus, architect.
