TO DEATH.
Melancholy Brooding That Is Worse
Than Disease.

Than Disease.
Thousands Of people actually think
themselves to death every year by al
lowing their minds to dwell on morbid
subjects.
The idea that one has some incipient
disease in ones system. the thought OF
financial ruin. that n is getting on in
life without improving prospects-any
Of these or a thousand similar thoughts
may carry u healthy man to q prema-
ture grave \. melancholy thought that
fixes itself upon ones mind needs as
much doctoring as physical disease. 1t
needs to be eradicated from the mind
or it will have just the same result as
a neglected disease would have.
Every melancholy thought, every
morbid action and every nagging wor
~ should be resisted to the utmost.
and the patient should be protected by
cheerful thoughts, Of which there is a
bountiful store in every ones posses
sion. Bright companions are cheaper
than drugs and plasters.
The morbid condition of mind pro-
duces a morbid condition Of body. and
II the disease does happen to be in the
system it receives every encouragement
to develop. We need more mental
therapy.-Suggestions.

TOBACCO SMOKE.
The Reason That Some of II IL B1vo

The Reason That Some of II IL Blvo
and Some Gray.
Smoke consists Of minute particles
Of solid or liquid matter suspended In
the air, and it's color depends partly
upon the chemical constitution of .uch
particles, but also largely upon their
size. Exact experiment has shown
that, as the size Of minute particles
suspended in air Is gradually increased,
they give rise to colors varying from
sky blue down through the whole
range Of the spectral scale. This is the
cause of sunset and sunrise colors in
the sky. Its effects can also be traced
In the case Of the two kinds Of tobacco
smoke, modified by the murky tints Of
the carbonaceous products. The smoke
given of from the heated surface Of
the burning tobacco in the bowl Of the
pipe consists Of matter all of which
has been highly heated and very fully
oxidized and decomposed. 1t consists
mainly of exceedingly small, solid par
ticles, exhibiting by virtue of their
smallness a blush color. On the other
hand, that smoke which has been
drawn through the tobacco into the
mouth OF the smoker carriers with it a
relatively large quantity of water and
hydrocarbon, which are condensed upon
the solid particles above mentioned.
The relatively large size of such par
dcles explains the well known grayish
color of the smoke which issues from
the mouth Of the smoker.

Perfume. =. Di.infectants

It is q we'll known fact that workers
among lavender beds seldom take IN
fictitious ailments, and those engaged
in the perfumery trade are singularly
free from them. A good perfume In
the old days was considered an excel
lent d%isinfectant. The doctors then
used to carry walking sticks with Sill
yer or gold knobs. These opened with
a lid, disclosing a tiny v~inaigrette box,
which the physician held to his nose
when entering rooms containing pa
tents Ill with any infectious diseases.

much interested in the wonderful

different. very different, from the
old fashioned widow who presided
at The family tub, took in genteel
washing and sent two sons through
college and married eff four girls
well after giving them a fine musi-
cal education. This widow had
some feeling for the garments that
came under her loving touch. The
spirit Of commercialism is much in
evidence in the modern laundry.
Entering the laundry we saw
about thousand shirts and bill
lion Of collars with every evidence
of having stayed out all night and
slept in the alley. After being put
through an acid bath, they go to

place torun them through a ma
chine that stretches the collars Of
the shirts and tears the sleeves at
