OPEN AIR TREATMENT.
Reasons For Its Good Results In
Cases of COnsumptiOn.

Reasons For It's Good Results In
Cases of Consumption.
The advantages Of the open air treat
ment for consumptives may be thus
briefly summarized: The patient ex-
posed continuously to fresh air gains In
appetite assimilates his food better,
sleeps more soundly and awakens more
refreshed. Free exposure to air Is the
best antipyretic Sweating at night,
formerly 80 common symptom, usual
ly ceases. Colds are practically un-
known among patients leading an open
air life. Secondary infection, on ac-
count of the comparative freedom Of
the air from micro organisms, Is much
less likely to occur. Tolerance Of out
side air is very quickly established, and
no one who has tried the open air life
will willingly go back to the former
conditions Of stuff1ness. l have never
seen any one made worse by exposure
to fresh air. Even during thick Lon
don fog patients get on better lying in
bed on balcony or In rooms with win
dows wide open and good fire burn
ing than when attempts are made to
shut out the fog by keeping the win
dows shut.-Dr. II. w. G. Mackenzie

RELIGIOUS TATTOOING.

A Custom That Is In Vogue In One
Part of Italy.
In the "vanity" section Of a museum
at Florence there is an interesting col
lection of blocks used for what Is call
ed religious tattooing" among Italian
peasants of the district inclosed be-
tween the Abruzzi, Umbria and the
Adriatic.
Peasants in these parts at work with
shirt sleeves rolled up display Chris
tian symbol of some sort or a text tat
tooed in blue ink ON their brown skin.
This has been imprinted on the occa-
sion of some special festival.
A wooden block is pressed upon the
tightly drawn skin to mark the out
lines Of the design. This Is then pune
tured, and blue ink is rubbed into
the wounds, which usually heal In
about twenty-four hours. The custom,
which is essentially Christian, Is In
commemoration Of the branding Of st.

BRIEF REVIEW.
From Cradle to Grave.

The stork disappears and we look in
to the cradle and behold a male child.
After running the gauntlet of measles,
mumps and chickenpox, he enters
school. At the age of 10 he is red
headed, freckle-faced boy and the ter
ror of the neighborhood. AT 12 he is an
apprentice in printing office. AT Is
he has acquired two cases of long primer
and an Army press and is the editor of
a country newspaper. ALTO he is mar
ried. At 30 he is bald-headed, stoop-
shouldered and the father of large
family. AT 35 he is corpse in cheap
pine coffin, and as 500 delinquent sub
scribers file past his bier for the last
look they are heard to say: "He was a
good fellow, but he couldn't save his
money"

1t is now well known that increased
complexity of life with increased ex-
penditure distinctly aids longevity.
Luxury, "the fertile parent Of whole
family of Diseases" modifies 1t greatly,
Of course, bat this is manageable fac
tor, says the London Chronicle. We
have only to recall personal experience
to realize the force Of intellectual stim-
ulation. The interest of sport will sus-
tain men without fatigue for distances
they otherwise could not traverse. The
excitement of strife will often mask
the presence of wounds. Self forgetful-
ness in all the walks OF life, under the
stress of love, chivalry or accepted
duty, doubles human endurance. Sue
cess gives new vitality, new powers,
and this Is another name for new life.

COTTON IN A FABRIC.
How to Tell II Worsted or Wooden
Cloths Are Adulterated.

Worsted cloths are less often adulter-
ated than woolens and are more easily
detected. A cotton worsted Is lie on
the face of 1t, for the cotton stands out
with prominence. But often cotton
thread is twisted with worsted
thread, and to determine its presence
1t is only necessary to take the twist
out Of the thread and then examine its
component parts.
Cotton, having long staple, can be
carded and combed with wool to be
spun into worsted yarn. This Is done
to cheaper the cost Of production. Cot
ton is carded and spun with wool and
shoddy, not SO much to cheaper the
yarn, for cotton is generally as expen-
sive as some shoddies, but is intro
duced to give strength or spinning
qualities to the stock. In many cases
the shoddy is of such short staple that
1t would not stand the drawing in
spinning, and, as 1t would make the
cost of the yarn too high to put in
enough wool to give that lacking
strength, cotton is put In for this pur-
pose.
The percentage Of cotton In fabric
can be determined In this manner:
Take small piece of cloth and weigh
1t. Now boil it for five minutes in 5
per cent solution of caustic soda. Take
out what is left, and, If any, 1t is all
cotton. The wool will all be dissolved.
The percentage of shoddy cannot be de-
termined except by experience.
A cloth or yarn with shoddy in 1t is
easily detected by its feel. Cloth made
Of all new wool is softer feeling than
one containing shoddy, for the latter
has lost that new, soft, springy feel
peculiar to wool.-American Wool and

Tree That Turns to Stone.

There is q tree that grows In Mexico
called the chijol, or stone tree. 1t is
Of enormous proportions, both In cir
cumference and height. 1t has num-
ber Of branches spreading out widely
and carrying leaves Of yellowish
green color. The wood Is extremely
fine and easily worked in green state.
1t is not given to either warping or
splitting. The most remarkable thing
about 1t Is that after being cut the
wood gets gradually harder, and in the
course Of few years it is absolutely
petrified whether left In the open air
or buried in the ground. From this
timber houses can be built that would
In few years become completely fire
proof and would last as long as though
built Of stone.

POLLY LARK|N

At one time and another Polly has
said that not only the Spring but the
Fall was the loveliest time of the year
to forsake business cares and get into
the country. l took trip over that
ever picturesque route, the California
Northwestern Railway the middle of
January, and now l am positive that
the best season to visit this section of
the country is whenever you can get the
opportunity, and never let chance
slip by, for it is ever new, ever beauti-
full and restful to both mind and body.
Even now, Summer sojourners are Sc
curing their places of abode in the
various towns, country homes and
various springs and resorts for the
Summer vacation. They know what
it is to delay until the Spring and Sum-
mer rush begins. All along the line,
too, people who are desirious of keeping
Summer boarders are sending in their
names for Vacation 1905. 1t will be a
spicy and helpful little guide this year,
and will be gladly welcomed by the
throngs Of people who are fondly dream
ing for the pleasures in store for them.
Soon will come the time now for turn
ing over pillows and pillows of lace and
dainty white and tinted fabrics de-
signed especially for our charming
Summer girls. My, but the country is
beautiful now in its green mantle, en-
riched by the golden poppies and few
of our first Spring flowers, while the
hollyberries, ignoring the fact that the
last of January is waning, fiaunt their
rubies tantalizingly to the passengers
as they go dashing by in the cars. So
near and yet SO far. The country is
gloriously beautiful with all the little
rills turned into singing brooks and
streams as they dash on their way to
add their mite to the mad cap Russian
river.

ANIMALS WANDERINGS.
Country Mouse and Town Mouse Fa-
bic Has Foundation In Fact.

Die ms FounuattOn In Fact.
The fable of the country mouse and
The town mouse has foundation in
,act Mice occasionally migrate in large
numbers when food grows scarce and
travel considerable distances to fresh
houses. Farmers In part of Perth
shire had good reason to become
aware of this fact when couple of
fears ago vast swarms of mice invaded
their cornfields at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when 1t
has to. The rat, on the contrary, seems
to take a yearly outing, IN very much
the same fashion as do human beings.
Rats are the most migratory creatures
IN the world. Troops of rats leave the
towns at the end of summer and spend
A month or two In the country, appar-
entity in order to enjoy the change of
food which the country affords at that
time of the year In the way of fresh
fruit and grain. Before the cold wealth
er sets IN they are all back again In
their old quarters.
Reindeer migrate with the same reg
nlarity as swallows. They move south
when winter sets in, but as soon as ev-
er the snow begins to melt they travel
steadily north, sometimes for as much
as thousand miles.
To end holiday by deliberate sui
eide is so strange phenomenon that
for long time naturallsts looked upon
the stories of the migration of the LEM
mings as an improbable fiction. Yet the
facts are beyond dispute. At irregular
intervals these ratlike creatures start
out from their homes in the Businesses
of northern Scandinavia in huge droves
numbering tens of thousands and trav-
Ell steadily southwark. Death pursues
them in hundred FORMS Hawks and
other birds Of prey hover above them.
Thousands are drowned in rivers Yet

the sea. They do not stop. They plunge
In, swim out and struggle on until at
last their strength fails and they
drown. Not one ever returns from this
