Train Sickness,

Lancet: Road legs nave to be acquitted
as much as sea legs, and in the various
forms of locomotion, from the joltine
omnibus to the quick-stopping tube and
air-braked trains, frequent opportunities
arise for estimating the varying amounts
OF agility, clutching OF stray straps and
compromising bodily movements made by
the cognosccnti in the particular class OF
vehicle of which they are for the time en-
deavoring to form an integral part. That
all forms of travelling are firing is evident
from the common tendency TO sleep In
railway carriages.
The vagaries of the travelling public are
curious; some canno ride except facing
the engine or he horses, others cannot
travel at all by railway; some nave faint

known the utmost confusion caused tc
some unfortunates by the seats opposite
the direction In which the train is moving
being occupied, though, curiously enough
the same feeling Is not set up when the
passenger can have Il seat placed parallel
with the direction of progress. There is
reason to believe that the action upon the
eye muscles of the rapidly changing par.

with the production of tired feelings an6

How Nerve Energy is Wasted.

Medical Talk: So many people need
iessly and recklessly waste their nerve
energy. They drum the chair or desk
with their fingers or tap the loo With
their toes. They hold their hands. They
sit In a rocking chair and rock for lear
life. If they go upstairs they make the
whole body do the work that was in
tended only for the legs. If they write
or sew they get down to it with "a VEN
geance and contract their brows and
wrinkle their .fCrheads and grind their
teeth.
If they have an unusual task to do
theylscreW and contract and contortion
every muscle of the body, making
themselves tense and rigid all over,
when the work perhaps required only
one set of muscles or perhaps the mind
only, as the case may be.
Wasting nerve energy. Frittering It
away.
Little things to be sure. But the lit
tie things have 81 way of adding them
selves up into big things.

Are Wives Supported2

~Iousekeeper: This question, which
is raised by q leading newspaper, re-
calls our own recent symposium on
THE Wife's Pocketbook. Before a
definite answer is given it would be
we'll to understand clearly Just what is
meant by the term Supported" Wives
are i'll the great majority of cases de-
pendent upon their husbands earnings
for their shelter, clothes and food. but
they are not supported" in the sense
that children are, or pensioners. or oD-
jects of public charity. In the ideal
marriage husband and wife are equal
partners. Two departments engage the
energy and attention of the tirm-the
earning department and the home de-
partment. One is as important as the
other. Each requires an expert, indus
trious, watchful manager if the firm is
to be successful.
The manager of the earning depart
ment may bring home d pocketful of
money every Saturday night, " with
out the intelligent and economic CO.
operation of the home department
manager will find himself ere long a
bankrupt. The money he earns is not
all his. 1t belongs to the firm. In
managing the home, experimenting or
preparing his meals, mending his
clothes. TO say nothing of caring for
the children and performing the thou
sand and che arduous and nerve wear
ing tasks That fail to the lot of the
busy hougekeeper, his Wife is doing
just as much for the success of the firm
as he is, If not more. And IL we mean

Suggestions for Arbor pay,

Southern Workman: In many schools
arbor or tree day is now regularly OBJ
served. Fathers cooperate with the
children, and in their own wagons
bring trees and shrubs from the woods
to plant in the school yard. In the
south fall is the best time for trans
planting most trees and shrubs, as we'll
as flowers and ferns, except very deli
cate flowers, which should be trans
planted In the early spring. Some prac-
teal farmer in your neighborhood will
explain how the transplanting should
be done, and by consulting him you will
enlist his cooperation. Care should
he taken to carry plenty of earth with
the roots of the bush or tree, and TO dig
q hole for it deep enough to aceommo-
date all the roots. The earth should be
firmly packed about the roots If any
are broken they should be cut off, and
he branches should be cut back to cor
respond with the loss of roots. The
plant should be well watered until firm-
Nv rooted.

THE HEROINE OF LUCKNOW.

London Express: IN interesting figur,-
in English history has passed away in
the person of Lady Inglis, who died yes
terlay at her residence, II Rectory road,
Beckenha1n, after a short illness. Lady
Julia Selma Inglis was the second daugh-
ter OF the first Lord Chelmsford and was
bora in 1888. She was the widow of the
famous defender of the British res.dency
at Lucknow. Sir John Iiardley Wilmot
Inglis, X. c. b., who died in 1882, and in
memory of whose services in the Indian
mutiny she had been in receipt OF u pen
son.
Lady lnglis herself went through the
siege of lucknow, and in addition to the
terrors OF the siege and the subsequent
journey to the coast she was shipwrecked
On the voyage home TO England. She
afrerwalu published the diary she kept
during her eventful life in the besieged
city, where her husband, then Brigadier
ingiis, commanded the garrison through
out the eighty-SeVen days the place was
invested. She describes the entrance into
the rcsidency, on a day when glad shouts
rang through the tortured city, of "a
short, quiet looking, gray haired men,
whom | knew at once was General Have

he feared that we had suffered a great

Once. while on the dangerous march

Lady IEglis had a baby with her at this
time, and thus she writes: Silence was

nately baby did not cry. On the way to
