DR.. S. H. Arnold gives some interest
ing facts and good advice in regard
to that daily friend, the tooth brush:
Nearly all brushes are made from
bristles taken from the wild hogs Of
Russia or China. The handles are
common beef bones. They are made
mostly in Japan, France, England and
Germany, and by one firm in the
United States. Probably English
brushes are the best made and worst
shaped. The French are next in quail
ity, but far ahead in form. Germany
ard Japan are generally im%itators.
Some of the most expensive English
and French, and all American brushes,
are made in factories under more or
less sanitary conditions, but the cheap
er grades, including all German and
brushes, are made in the
hints of the peasants, where cattle,
dogs. swine. fowls and humans are
berded in common. The bristles n
hone are given out by the dealer and
taken into the country, where they are
Nj AANS
assorted by the aged and young chill
dren and diseased persons, the strong
or members of the family working at
more remunerative employment.
These cheap brushes are often IN
he most unsanitary and wretched sur
roundings imaginable, and it is a sig
niAcant fact that after being MADE
tbey are seldom sterilized before
using.
The English brushes are generally
very much too large to be efficient

Originally the swan took up his

spider" PLANT OF Africa
Curious Growth That Resembles a.
eantic Creeping Thing.

eantic Creeping Thing.
One of the most curious plants In
the world is the one described by
travellers recently returned from the
Cape Nego district, a little known
region OF Africa. 1t is called the
spider plant. These travellers often
heard from the natives of a plant that
was part spider and that, growing,
threw it's legs about in continual
struggles to escape. 1t vas the good
fortune of DR.. Welwitsch to discover
the origin of the legend. Strolling
along through a wind-swept tableland
country he came upon a plant that
rested low on the ground, but had
two enormous leaves that twisted
about in the wind like serpents-in
fact, it looked, as the natives had said,
like a gigantic spider. Its stem was
four feet across and but a foot high.
1t had but two leaves in reality; these
were six or eight feet long, and split
up by the wind so that they resembled
ribbons. This is probably the most
extraordinary tree known. 1t grows
for nearly, if not quite, a century, but
never upward beyond about a foot
simply expanding until it reaches the
size stated, and looking in its adult
state like a singular stool on the plair
from ten to eighteen feet in circum
ference.-Montreal Herald.

L. Williams of st. Louis. This con-
sists of an air insulated receptacle for
the drinking cup proper. 1t comprises
a casing a little larger than the cup
it is designed to protect, and forms a
tight covering with an upper ring rim
attached to the sides and provided
with a center opening a little smaller
than the largest diameter of the cup.
When the cup is set in the receptacle
it projects uniformly on all sides
above the casing, and the handle is
easily reached. AS is well known, air
is one of the best insulators Of heat
that the world knows, and a cup con
tanning a heated beverage thus pro
tected from radiation will retain its
original temperature for a much long
er time, owing to the very slow loss
of heat by radiation and conduction.

Consumption Can Be Conquered.

The universal interest in the Anti
tuberculosis movement is shown in
every convention held to consider this
work. The discussions are practical
not theoretical. The audiences arS
popular, o merely professional. The
whole people are intereted,
In a session just closed at Atlanta,
Georgia, many important and interest
ing phases of the prevention and cure
of consumption were considered. DR..
G. P. Amber gave a concise review of
the duty Of the physician in charge,
to the patient and family. His paper
was enthusiastically received and
adopted as the sense of the League on
this subject.
His points were as follows: First,
tuberculosis is not the fatal disease
commonly believed.
Second-While communicable it can
be made practically harmless by the
proper course on the part of the
patient.
Third-The chief cause of the high
mortality is late diagnosis.
Fourth-Late diagnosis is caused
by indifference of the patient to early
symptoms and ~carelessness on the
part of the physician consulted.
Filthy thorough, systematic in
struction of the patient better results
can be accomplished than by medica
ton.
Sixth-Instruction of patient, fam
lily and friends, and close observance
on their part Of the rules laid down
will practically rob the disease of it,

United States System Of Lighting Mill

Successful-Six and one-Half Miles
Of Mains-sixty-Five Street Lights.

Chickamauga Park Ga, May 81
The United States government has here
in operation n of the largest acety.
lene gas plants in the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance of the histor.
ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle of Sept. 10 and 20, 1863, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
seventy-hye principal one of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-haIf miles Of
mains and two miles Of service pipes
are in use, while ~sixty-hve street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave
nues Of the post.
In 1903 the War Department in
stalled a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer, Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
of the illuminant so evident that the
government, March 20. 1904, placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government has not con,
fined it's acceptance of a~cetylene to
this military post. Since becoming
satisfied of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages Of this
particular illuminant, the United
States has installed a number OF
plants in Indian schools and other gov
eminent institutions.
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
