PADUA'S PALACE OF REASON.

SO that 1t would be Impossible for the

what is expected of comparatively poor
Italy, writes a Padua correspondent of
the Pail Mall Gazette.
This was brought forcibly before me
to-day in tho magnificent hall of the
Palace of Reason here. The hall itself
said to be the largest in tie worlds
In good enough repair, but the palace
requires millions to put II in order. It
has practically only one big vaulted
frescoed room, containing a colossal
wooden horse by Donatello; nothing
else. Across the center lies a strip of
white marble. put down by no less a per-
son thar Calico, to mark the noon hour.
The great horse was made for q cardinal

the tale, the last, Capt. Beltrami, dying
only a few months ago.
1t is. however. the university and its
memories which dominate the town.
England has her interest here also.
Among all the coats OF arms of great
students, that of William Harvey is
proudly exhibited. He studied here and
left his mark among his contemporaries.
Other English and Scottish names are
also to be seen. The building. however.
breathes the spirit of Calico. In the
great hall he gave his lectures from a
q pulpit" still preserved, which
is nothing but rough boards stoutly
nailed together and much shrunken
from the knives OF foreign souvenir
Some of his bones hang in the
anatomy room, poor reminders of a great
man, the glory of the universe and Of
Italy.

The war between the white corpus
Giles of the blood and the microbes of

Russian pathologist, Metchnikoff.
While devoting himself to the study
of iniammations he in each case noted
the presence of white cells in the blood
currents in abnormal numbers. Inside
these two cells he Invariably found the
specific microbe of the disease under
consideration--it seemed that the big
%corpuscles were %devouring the poison

taken up by a corpuscle was too great
and it died as a result. If this over
coming of the white corpuscles by the
microbes was general the patient

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

The four greatest needs of Greece
grain, coal, iron and lumber-are the
ones which the United States would
best be able to supply.
The yearly gross earnings of the
United States Steel corporation are APP
proximately equal to the gross revenue
received by the United States govern
ment.
Seventy French firms manufacture
motor cars and their combined output
last year was 10000 cars. The industry
employed 10000 workmen, earning on
an average $500 a year each.
Large deposits of stone suitable for
photographic purposes have been dis
covered and opened in Thessaly. Greek
experts report that this stone is far SUI
perior in quality to the best litho-
graphic stone heretofore known in Eu-
rope.
Under the heading, "A New German
Industry" German papers state that
the manufacture of quartz glass is
rapidly developing in that country.
Quartz glass consists essentially of
melted quartz and is perfectly trans
lucent.
The membership of the United Mine
Workers of America. as shown from
the number who paid the per capita
tax during the month of March, is
larger than it has ever been in the his
tory of the organization. Last year it
reached $4,000, while this year it is
2G4,439.
Peat fuel in freight locomotives in
Sweden has hauled the maximum load,
the cost being about the same as with
English coal. To avoid the expense of
an extra fireman, however, the peat is
now mixed with an equal weight of
coal. and the mixture has proven so
satisfactory that it is to be tried on pas
senger trains.
The shape of the rudder of a vessel
seems to be of more Importance than
has been generally supposed. Expert
ments in Scotland by j.. Foster King
indicate that the rectangular form has
decided advantages. as it presents 9
larger surface at the loda line under
all conditions and requires a smaller
stock and working gear than curved
shapes. With sufficient area the a
row blade is as effective as the broad
one, while it can be set more rapidly.

THE NEW BRAIN FAC.
Fashionable Disease Because of In
ference which II Naturally
Lends.

Brain flag" is the new term for what
old-fasnioned people called nerves"
and is just now attracting much atten-
ton because 1t Is thought to be a novel
malady, says the New York Herald. To
overwork a brain implies primarily the
existence of the organ, and hence the
disease which attacks the thinking APP
paratus Is quite likely to become fash
ionable. There is always ready sym
pathy for the victim whose active brain
runs away with him, and whose brilliant
genius Sc soon wears It's setting. 1t is
pitiful, indeed, for the poor man who
cannot help thinking too profoundly at
all times and in all places. Intellect
then becomes an actual curse rather
than a blessing. To be spared the in
Fiction should be the cry of e~voluting
humanity.
The hard-hearted medical experts,
however, are very skeptical Regarding
any special danger from the flag" The
brain may tire at times, with the other
part Of the body, but such exhaustion Is
physical rather than mental. We must
not blame the poor brain for everything,
even for too deep thought. No one has
been known TO have been hurt by the
latter, but, on the contrary, countless
numbers have been benefited when the
thought was worth anything. There is
really no proof that the brain can be
overweight by legitimate work of its
own. Eliminate physical strain, worry,
hustle and hurry, and the more the
brain has to do the better for its for
tunate possessor.
All weak organs tire quickly. : to
acknowledge the flag" for what it really
is places the unfortunate sufferer be-
md the pale of ordinary sympathy.
There is no measure OF brain ability in
quiet, we'll ordered work, and the one
who attempts to fix a standard of n r.
ance is plainly an incompetent and a
shirk. 1t is always the fret ra .hor than
the work that lands the tagged one
where he belongs. Mere nerve tire is
one thing and real intellectual tire is
quite another thing.

BEDS o IEvALIDS.
Equipment Which Goes Far TOward
Producing the Most Favorable
Conditions,

Sickness comes at some time, soon or
late, to every family, no matter how
carefully guarded, but trained nurses
are not always at hand. On this account,
says a household authority, ii is a safe
thing for every m to know lust
how to prepare and change a bed for a
person too Ill to he readily moved. The
best bedstead for use in sickness is of
brass or iron, Gh feet in length. two or
IA feet in height and three feet in width.
The mattress should be of hair, as that
can be readily cleaned and disinfeoed.
Cotton makes the best material for
sheets, as linen is apt to chill. Three
sheets should be In use at a time-the
upper, the lower and the draw, which is
placed directly under the patient.
Blankets Of good quality make the best
covering, with a lightweight counter
pane at the top. There should be two
large pillows-one of hair and the other
or feathers-and as many small pillows
as the ex!gencies OF the case require. II
a rubber sheet is necessary, spread II
smoothly on the mattress. Put on the
lower sheet and pin II into place on the
under side CT the mattress, so that the
patient may not work II up into wrinkles.
Fold the draw sheet and pin II across
the middle OF the bed so that It will ex-
tend from the patients shoulders to well
below the hips. Put on the upper sheet.
leaving II a little loose for the feet and
long enough to turn over the blanket
at the top. The blanket need not be so
long as the sheet, but should be long
enough to tuck around the patients
neck. The counterpart may be Of the
same length as the sheet and left long
enough to fold over In changing the
Led roll the patient TO one side, putting
hand against the shoulder and the
other against the hip. Roll the lower
ST. - up in lengthwise folds against the
patient, put on the fresh sheet and he
draw sheet and pin in place. Protect
the patient with the upper sheet, and
roll him over on to the s~pread-out por-
f'0n OF 70 clean sheets. Pull the lower
eessS Az ~1G pin. Put a clean upper
sheet On over the soiled one. tuck in the
clean one. and remove the soiled one.
1t is scarcely necessary to emphasize
the fact that in changing the bedding
everything should be aired. warmed and
at hand. so that there need be no delay.
Double beds make good sick beds, as the
patient can sleep On one half during the
day and the other half at night.

WOMAN PRISON CHAPLAIN.
Ministers Regularly to the ed
Characters Confined In LRr-
annie CWyO.) Jail.

The only woman in the world en-
gagged as chaplain in a prison is Mrs
May Preston Slosson, of Wyoming,
and she performs her duties with a
zeal that is worthy Of all praise. She
is a regularly ordained minister of
the Gospel and might be settled over
a prosperous church, but she sees her
duty lies among the convicts at Lara
mic and has chosen shat as her field
of effort, reports the Chicago Chrun-
icle.
Mrs. Slosson received the first de-
gree granted to a oma at Cornell
university, where she worked for two
years after she had received the mas
ter's degree at Hillsdale college, Mich
igan.
After graduating she accepted the
professorship of Greek at Hastings
college, Nebraska. and was married in
1891 to Prof. Edwin +. S~losson, pro-
fessor of chemistry at the University
of Wyoming in Laramie.
In Wyoming the prisoners of the
state penitentiary were at one time
kept without work ON count of the
opposition of the trades unions to
their employment. Men deprived of
the saving grace of work, no matter
to what part of the community they
belong, soon become thrown out Of
their balance. That happened to the
prisoners, who got into n peculiarly
morbid and unruly condition.
1t was in that frame of mind that
Mrs. Slosson conceived the idea whicI,
the authorities permitted her to put
into practice. She arranged for n
series of Sunday afternoon talks and
experimental lectures by the profess
sors of the university.
She herself gave two lectures before
the convicts, and when the minister
who was acting ms the chaplain left
the town the prisoners petitioned the
governor to appoint her chaplain. He
acceded to the request, and since July,
1899, she has filled the office not cnly
TO the satisfaction Of the authorities.
but, what is more important, to the
satisfaction of those who are the en-
forced members of her congregation.
The prisoners number some 220 and
consist for the most part of young
men who have gone west from a spirit
of adventure and nave got into trou-

Poisonous Plants.

Much to be desired is a method OF
r%ecoEnizing poisonous plants at sight.
While no general rule can be given. DR.

indications, and that certain character

cotic odor is common in many of the
most poisonous plants. though lacking
in others. and a milky juice is cause for
suspicion. The most general character.
istic, however, is an acrid taste. This
is our best safeguard. and it can usually
be relied upon to give warning before
a dangerous quantity has been eaten.
