Any one who Is fortunate enough to pos

Never before have the shops been SO replete

was sent out to the summer home. But

The Catastrophes-
About the house. the ruin Of cake. the

to exaggerate their Importance in the tiny
world of the household. whereas IL they
happened In a great business establish
ment. a large shop. or mammoth news

tirely different proportions They seem
big simply because they are the biggest
catastrophes to hand, and they scarcely
can be compared with the more truly
momentous disasters that could happen in
newspaper Offices. for instance.
There the mistake of the printer or Of
the copyreader, the typesetter. or the editor
wields its unhappy influence over thou
sands upon thousands of people and thou
sands upon thousands Of homes. In the

lament and to talk about and to upset one,
but the comparative trifies of the kitchen

nothing to be noised abroad.

so with the other tiny misfortunes. Do
not let them even ruffie your own thought.
Take them for the molehills that they are

self equipped with calmness and balance
and fortitude wherewith to meet 1t and to
fortify those depending upon you.

People
Who are well and strong often mean most
kindly actions to the invalid while proving
most agonizing. This is often because they
do not know what 1t Ia to be Ill and nerv-
GUS.
Let them profit by the wisdom born of
experience and never. for ono thing, sit
between the invalid and the Iight-from
window. gas or lamp. To do so places the
visitors face In darkness and irrftates all
the nerves.
Don't sit in a rocker and rock. 1t makes
many well people nauseated to see this and
the invalid is anguished.
Never insist upon beating up or changing
pillows. Pillows that look uncomfortable
are often placed exactly as wanted. So ere
making change be certain that It is de-
sired.
Never take flowers with vigorous per-
fume into the room, but choose Instead
those with delicate fragrance
Sit in such position that the invalid
may see you and speak with you readily.
The strain of trying to see and hear is
fatiguing to any one, but more especially
to those whose vigor Is already depleted.
Never ask the patient whether you shall
prepare this or that delicacy for her table;
instead send 1t ready made as surprise to
win its welcome by its unexpectedness as
much as by intrinsic merit. The capricious
palate of the convalescent is more easily
captured by surprise than by premeditated
action.
Choose cheerful topics of conversation,
avoid the illness and other peoples ills
and all exciting themes, whether pleasant
or unpleasant.
Above all, do not sit on the bed And
above this, do not stay overlong Fifteen
minutes is the maximum length for the
visit to one recovering from illness.

Facts as to Accidents,

One of the most important tables
ever compiled by the Interstate Com
merce Commission has been supplied
by Secretary Moseley to Senator Till
man, who procured its printing as
pubic document. 1t is a list of COLI
sions and derailments where the EN-
ployes had been on duty an excessive
number of hours and a list of personal
injuries to employees due to having
been at work excessively long.
These are railroad reports and not
the results Of Investigations by the
commission, and they do not include
personal Injuries that had no obvious
connection with the condition of the
employe. The facts disclosed by this
tabulation are startling.
Eight railroad men were killed and
thirteen injured as the result of acct
dents caused by oyerwork. In one case
man who had been on duty thirty
two hours was sent out tagging and
went to sleep on the track. In nine
other cases in this list of personal in
juries men had been at work continu-
ously for twenty hours or more.
In collisions and derailments due to
lack of sleep or exceptional fatigue
thirty persons We're killed and HI
injured. In one case the man had been
at work forty-eight hours. In nine cases
men had been at work twenty-fOur
hours or mOre-one was forty-seveu

was thirty eight-and in several other

Il wish TO inform you that the Cuti-

twelve years OF misery l passed
with my son. AS an infant
noticed on his body a red spot,
and treated same with different
remedies for about five years, but
when the spot began TO get larger
put him under the care of doctors. Tn
der their treatment the disease spread
to four different parts of his body. The
longer the doctors treated him the
worse it grew. During the day it
would get rough and form like scales.
At night it would be cracked, inflamed,
and badly swollen, with terrible burn
ing and itching. When / think of his
suffering, it nearly breaks my heart.
His screams could be heard down
stairs. The suffering of my son made
me full of misery. l had no ambition

doctor told me that my sons eczema
was incurable, and gave it up for a

time have had absolutely no heart
palpitation except on one or two occa-
sions when / tried a small quantity Of
coffee which caused severe irritation
and proved to me l must let it alone.
When we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we cid
not make it according to directions
but now we put a little bit of butter
IN the pot when boiling and allow the
Postum to boil full Is minutes, which
gives it the proper rich flavor and the
deep brown color.

Chinese Wax Farm

White Chinese wax affords an in
come to hundreds of farmers. in the
Chen Chang valley, where the insects
flourish which coat their eggs and CO.
coons with the pure white wax.
They feed upon the leaves of a plant
which grows only in that valley, but
If left TO remain in their birthplace die
before it is time to deposit their eggs.
For that reason a wax farm consists
of plots of ground some distance apart,
the insects being transported from the
valley to the outside farms by porters,
who carry thousands at one time upon
their backs.
The industry is almost as profitable
as the raising of the silk worm and
requires even more care, but the pains
taking farmer looks as carefully after
his minute charges as the American
farmer does after his cattle.

Radiun Clock.

We can not say that perpetual mo-
ton has actually been discovered, but
the radium clock comes very near to it.
a small quantity of radium is put in Il
glass tube, at the lower end of which
is an electroscope with two long
strips of silver. The activity of the
radium induces the minus beta" rays
to be conducted to the tips, when the
leaves of the electroscope expand and
touch the sides of two conducting
wires. OF course, the currents are at
once released and the leaves fall back
again. The beats are repeated every
two minutes, and the calculation is
that it will continue for no less than
10000 years, which is about as near
to perpetuity as any one need trouble
about.
