This common affection of childhood
-pertussis, the doctors call its usu-
ally regarded as one of the things
child has to have. and 1t is supposed
that the only thing to do is to put up
with it, as with all unavoidable ills,
tie best one can. The philosophy of
this state Of mind of mothers is good,
Eut the Indifference 1t sometimes engen-
ders is distinctly bad, so far as it
causes the parents to neglect treatment.
Whooping-cough is often a trivial af-
fair, but 1t Is sometimes fatal; and
even when not so, 1t may pave the way
for serious Ills by weakening the resist
ing power of the child to other germ
diseases, such as scarlet fever. mea-
sles, and especially pneumonia; or the
strain Of the cough and of the forced
holding of the breath may cause a
blood vessel In the brain or in the eye
to break. with resulting paralysis or
blindness, or it may produce rup-
ture.
Fortunately these troubles are rare,
but the possibility of their occurrence
should be borne in mind.
WEooping-cough is a dangerous dis
ease, occurring with greatest fire.
quency in the winter and spring. No
age Is exempt from It's attacks, but
about half of the sufferers are babies
under two years Of age. One attack
usually lnsures safety against any sub
sequent ones. Owing to its great con-
tagiOusness, a child with whooplng
cough should be kept away from other
children, and should never be carried
out in street cars and other crowded
places to give the disease to every sus-
ceptible child or even adult in its VI
cinity.
The patient must be we'll wrapped up
when outdoors or when getting air by
an open window, and the living room
should be warm, although well venti-
lated. The diet should be simple. and
food should be given frequently but in
small quantities.
During the entire course Of the dis
ease, even In the mildest cases. the
child should be under the constant su-
pervision Of the doctor, for the disease
may take bad turn when least expect
ed, and the best way to prevent an evil
outcome is to be always on the watch
for it.
Children with whooplng-cough often
go through it with but few signs of
illness, but care should not be relaxed
for this reason, and the mother, nurse,
or some adult should be present always
to do what little can be done to ease
the paroxysms.- Youths Companion.

Making a Mnchinist

There is, perhaps, no other trade,
and very few professions" writes VIM.
Haddow in the Technical World Maya
zine, that require the high order of
intelligence, the study, the application,
the real hard-headed common-sense, the
surgeons delicacy of touch-for in
stance, in fitting of fine work-that the
machinists trade demands to give the
excellent work and the interchangeable
ity of parts found in the modern rife
work Is from a needle to battleship !;
from automatic machinery that would
talk French had it one more movement
to measuring machines guaranteed not
to vary more than the fifty-thOusandth
part Of an inch from the absolute. This
precision will perhaps be better appre-
ciated when it is remembered that $50
times this limit of variation is only
equal to the diameter of the average
human hair. Standard plug and ring
gauges, to take a specific example, are
so accurately fitted to each other that
the expansion due to the warmth of the
hand, If the plug be held in it for few
moments, will make it impossible to in
sert the plug in the ring; while, if the
ring be expanded in the same way, the
plug will drop clear through it.
When the machinist has become skill
full enough to fulfill the above require
ments, he may receive from $3.50 per
day up to whatever he can make him
self worth and prove it,
