illness to the inexperienced. Some, per-

HUMBUo IN LITERARY WORLD
Asks for Check Of Big Magazine with
Intention Of Keeping
Up a Bluff.

''The greatest buffer in the literary
game that I ever heard Of" said a man
employed in the counting room of a big
magazine, to a New York Sun reporter,
was a fellow who probably never
wrote a line in his life, but he had
some reason for wanting to make some
friends think that he was a regular
contributor.
He came into our Office and offered
US a $50 bill and asked If we would let
him have the concerns check for that
amount. He showed US the check Of
one other magazine which he had al
ready secured. When asked what he
wanted the check for he made no bones
Of explaining that he wanted to show II
to two or three friends to make them
think that the check was in payment
for a story. My house declined to &C
cOmmOdate him.
I'VE did ask him, however, how he
would keep up the bluff If one Of his
friends happened to ask him to show
his story in the magazine. He said
that would be easy, as he would de-
clare that he was writing over a nom
de plume"

NHEN IS A RABY NORMAL?
Medical Expert Tells How a Mother
Can Answer the Question
Beyond q Doubt.

When a person first becomes a parent
be or she watches the little new
Sorn creature with the most intense
anxiety. The fear sometimes haunts
the parent that perhaps the babe is not
mentally perfect The father tries 10
solve the problem, but hts mind has
nothing TO hold to, nothing to guide il
to a conclusion. A few glanees may tell
that the baby's body has all the outward
evidences OF being normal, but the par
ents' endeavors to understand the slow
Iy-awakening mind prove futile. How
much greater would be my jOy," q
mother often says to herself, IF knew
that my baby's brain is as It should BE-"
According to some experts, however,
this suspense is needless. They declare
that the mind Of a baby is normal If the
child Is able to do certain things at GER
tain ages. Il is only when the baby acts
differently that fear may well seize the
mothers heart, a fear that her babe may
be foolish, that only its animal nature
will grow, while the mind remains
dwarfed, sluggish, in a sort Of continual
twilight
According to specialists, the mental
symptoms Of the baby may even be re-
iuced to a catalogue. "A normal
child" says DR.. Louise Fiske Bryson, in
the Medical Critic, lis sensitive to light

WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS
This Article Tells You Just What Is
to Be Done Before the Sur
geon Arrives.

There are a few things which should
be in every house where any persons
are in any way liable TO injury. Chief
among these are one or more bottles
Of some antiseptic solution, and band
ages ready for use. Sometimes the
simplest precautions before the ar
rival Of the doctor will save a limb
or hand or perhaps life, and aid the
physician to an untold extent
Orange Judd Farmer says that ban
dages may be made from an old sheet,
bleached cloth being preferred. First,
it should be clean. Taking the whole
length Of the sheet, usually at least
two yards, tear it into strips Of the
following widths: one inch, one and
one-half, two, two and One-half, three
and four inches, having two or three
Of each. The narrow bandages are
most useful, and it is well to make
several Of these. Now make q tight
roll Of each strip, or put two Of the
same width in one roll. Put them
aside in a box out Of the dust You
will be surprised how many service
able roller bandages can be made from
an old sheet They may also be
boiled, washed and irOned out for use
after being soiled. Have also some
absorbent cotton and a few pieces Of
cloth about u inches square.
An antiseptic is a solution which
kills germs, and germs are the cause
Of a large part Of the Doctors trou-
BILE. Probably the best all round anti
septic is. carbolic acid. Get the
strong carbOlic and use a teaspOonful
of this in a quart Of warm water. This
is a safe strength for any part Of
the body except the eye. If by ac-
cident any of the strong acid is spilled
on the hand, put pure alcohol on the
place at once. This neutralizes the
action Of the acid. Another safe and
clean anusepdc is creoline. This is
a dark liquid with a tarry odor. a
tablespoonful in a quart Of warm wa
ter makes a milky solution, which is
excellent for cleansing wounds. An
antiseptic wash for the eye may be

BIG SALARY PAID WOMAN.
superintendent of Indian Schools
Draws $4,000 a Year Outside
Of Her Expenses.

Some Of the best paid employees Of
the government in Washington are
women, declares the Philadelphia
Press. So far as wages-are concerned,
Uncle Sam recognizes no distinction Of
sex, and in some branches Of the pub
lie service persons in petticoats, owing
to their superior aptitude for certain
kinds Of work, have entirely driven
out the men. who are unable to COM
pete with them.
The highest salary paid by the gov
eminent to a woman is drawn by Miss
Estelle Reel, who is superintendent Of
all the Indian schools. She is a re-
markable. woman, and the supervision
which she exercises over the rising
generation of the nations wards has
already revolutiOnized, to a great ex-
tent, the system Of management
adopted.
Miss Reel gets $1,000 a year, plus
her expenses, the latter being a con-
siderable item, inasmuch as she spends
most Of her time in travelling about
from one school to another, utilizing
almost every known means Of trans
pOrtatiOn, and when stage coaches fail,
frequently riding on horseback for
hundreds Of miles.

especially TO physical geography.

Gus articles upon these subjects were
written by him and have been pub
lished as appendices TO the coast and

lean Journal of Science. He was al
ways much interested in geographical
exploration and spent good deal Of
time in compiling maps from original
sources, unoficially.
His ability was rewarded in the
coast survey by promotion through all
the grades Of his profession until he
became a recognized authority on
chart publication. Being endowed
with a remarkable memory for facts
and dates, his intimate acquaintance
with the chart work Of the survey dur
ing the so years of his service was Of
very great value in all matters con-
corning the compilation Of charts from
the older records, and the numerous
drawings compiled and made by him
during the last half century are said TO
bear witness to the skill and fidelity
which distinguished his career. Dur
