Especial Correspondence

The primary object Of the marine
battalion Of the New York fire depart
ment Is to fight fires and not to cut
Ice But this winter-the first two
months under the reorganized bat
TALON plan devised by Chief Croker
the seven fireboats have had to cut
their way through great ice foes that
have floated down the North river
from the frozen zone up State and
down the East river from Long Island
sound, congealing into an almost solid
mass in the docks and around pier
bulkheads. Fire or no fire, the sturdy,
strongly-built little craft that are ever
on the alert to protect millions upon
millions worth of property along New
York's miles of waterfront from Hon-
kers to the Narrows have had to work
day and night "shoonying' ice foes
down the rivers toward the bay. II
was imperative that the channel be
kept clear In case of an alarm.
Firemen who have worked on the
fireboats since they were established
in New York, about thirty-two years
ago, will tell you that there Is little
difference between fighting fire on sea
and on land, that 1t is a firemans bust
ness to put out fires without thought
of personal danger, and that he goes
about his business with as much un-
concern as a bricklayer takes up his
trowel or a policeman starts out on
his beat On the other hand, take a
raw recruit assigned to a freboat
from one Of the land companies, and
in five cases out of six the man VIII
tell you that fighting fires on river or
bay, particularly when surrounded by
acres of ice, is twice as difficult as
It is on the city avenue or street, no
matter how densely populated the
nelghborhood. These are usually the
men who have no sea legs. After fall
ing into the river two or three times
while boarding a boat under the most
simple circumstances and being hshed
out by a boathook, they are sent back
to the horse companies and the brass
sliding pole. But If a fireman has any
thing of the sailorman about him, II
he Is quick on his feet, and knows on
oarlock from smokestack, a berth on

there is in the gift Of the e.ty govern

imposed for our safety. Still feeling
that we were taking a chance, the
teller asked what denominations he
desired. He replied and the money
was passed out to him. After holding
the currency a moment in his hands
he returned it, with request for the
check, which he destroyed before us.
"On the following day our client
thanked us for our courtesy and
waived the overdraft privilege, saying
that he had no further use for it, He
had with him check for $4,000, which
he deposited. This he had won from
his friend on a bet. He had bet that
he could negotiate an overdraft for
that amount without first explaining
that it was bet, and the nature of it.
and his friend wagered that no bank
would trust him for that amount. -

Few Find Their Work !"

to fancy that he would have been
splendid captain of industry. But the
great lawyers and the splendid cap
tains of Industry might, If they would
tell some stories of disillusion about
the business. They would certainly
say that If unsuccessful preachers and
teachers put no more effort and inter-
est into the law or into industry than
they have put into preaching and
teaching, the end would be the same
disappointment and the same longing
for something else.
Happy is the man who has found
his work" 1t is a pity that SO many
persons have apparently not found
the work that they could best do and
be happy in it, But sometimes 1t ap-
pears to us as If those who complain
because they did not choose rightly,
and who give up their thought to spec
ulations of how much better they
could have done il they had done
something else, are not quite doing
themselves and their opportunities full
justice.
The secret of happiness in an occu-
patton is usually in the worker himself
more than it is in the occupation. And
it mostly comes from the disposition
and the determination to do the best
possible, even if a mistake or bad for
tune have made wrong choice. Not
in fancying that better could have
been done, but in doing the best you
can where you are is found the recipe
Of contentment with a life-work.

The writer for the Worlds Work
who inquired Of twenty clergymen II
they would choose the same occupa-
tion If they had their lives to live over,
need not have been surprised to find
nine who replied that they would not;
nor the Investigator for Leslie's
Monthly who asked eleven teachers a
similar question to find only one who
was willing to say yes. Such express
sions Of disappointment can be got out
of men and women of any and every
vocation, says the New Bedford STAN
dard. The person who wishes he were
something else than what he actually
is can be found at almost any minute
Of the day by any one who takes the
pains to inquire Not much is proved
by it, except that, in the first place,
there are too many squSre pegs in
round holes, and that, in the second
place, there are more pegs for which
there are no appropriate holes than is
good for the community. We have no
question that the nine clergymen and
the ten teachers who wish they had
chosen some other manner Of life were
not conspicuous successes in the occu-
pations they had selected, and it is
rather to be doubted if all of them
would have been successes in any OF
the occupations which they wish they
had selected.
It is not difficult for clergyman to
dream that he would have made a
great lawyer, or for a school teacher

Not Try to Be Thin.
Some people are simply naturally
stout" says DR.. william F. Waugh, ed
itor of the Chicago Alkaloidal Clinic,
"and the question as to whether there
is really cause for medical interfer-
ence is one to be decided in each par
ticular case by the physician who
knows the circumstances.
MANY persons, especially women,
think they are too stout and want to
set thin, when in fact they are just
right as they are. This desire is to
be looked upon as on par with that
which makes little women wish they
we're big and big women wish they
we're little; straight-haired women to
use curling irons and curly haired
women to use bandoline to make their
hair straight; dark haired women to
bleach and light haired women to dye.

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.


How q Woman vaf Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Yeara-
The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood
is scanty or thin; the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces. and the poison initiates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
naatism. malaria and the grip. the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
Of the blood. DR.. Williams Pink Pills
ON the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women in particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anBmia.

Hothouse Plants.


The following abstract from the
Cincinnati Lancet-Clinic in regard to
one of the worst evils of modern child
life is very timely:
Refinement in matters of social
life proceeds hand in hand with re-
finement in other lines as civilization
advances. From the standpoint OF the
physician and Of the anthropologist,
it is a question whether the physical
side of mankind is improving or de-
generating.
The method of bringing up chill
dren, especially in the families OF the
well-to-do, is too often a serious men
ace to the child's health and develop
ment Too much indoor life, too
much supervision, too little freedom
of motion and will is undoubtedly the
cause of the many weaklings seen in
the families of the wealthy Such chill
dren have the characteristics of hot
house plants
The remedy is, of course, to do away
with the surplus care and attention
bestowed on the child, to let the child
do more for itself, have more free
dom, more fresh air, more play with
other children. Foods and medicines
are only temporary helps for child
weakness
in the end can take care of dollhouse
children" if fond parents will only
give her the chance.
