THE HOME DOCTOR.

Salt has both cleansing and healing power and Is therefore an excellent application for superficial ulcers.
 If you feel ill and don't know what Is the matter, take a hot bath, a drink of herb tea and go to bed for twenty-four hours.
 When gripping pain occurs in the ab domen a strong aperent should be talk en at once. Pads made of hot fiannels will sometimes give relief until the medicine has acted
 Hiccough is variously set up-one way is by taking hot drink when the stomach is empty. One way of treat ing it is to pinch the nose and drink about half a tumblerful of cold water
 Castor oil may be most easily taken mingled with orange juice, little sug ar being added to the juice if the or ange is not sweet. The difference be tween this and any other mode of talk ing this valuable medicine is surpris- ing.

To Hang Up Dress Skirt.

Don't turn a dre.-i skirt wrong side out before hanging it up, no matter how delicate a color it is. Nothing ruins the set more quickly, which IS soon evidenced by the creases which creep here, there and everywhere.
 It's natural enough, for the outside must necessarily be made little larger and looser than tEe lining, and revers- ing the usual order of hanging is bound to react in some unpleasant way.
 If the skirt is delicate color, make a big bag of white muslin to slip 1t in while hanging up or pin white cloth big enough to cover it over 1t, taking care in either case to have the covering hang from the hook or from the coat hanger instead of dragging upon the skirt itself.

Perhaps there is nothing so com rlon," said s. c. Emery, in charge of the Memphis weather bureau, "as earthquakes, concerning the cause Of which comparatively little is known. They occur every year and yet there f. much speculation as to their cause.
 While it does not appear to the cas- ral observer, the crust of the earth is elastic. and readily transmits wave motions. Any cause which produces q local disturbance of the crust sets un a series of waves which may be- come apparent on the surface in quick up and down or to and for

INSURANCE SITUATION.
Fire Risks Wilt Not Cover the Earth
 quake Losses.

New York. April 21.--Fire insur- ance men in this city were deeply in tereSted in the San Francisco news from q professional standpoint as well as from natural horror at the disaster and sympathy for the vict- inns As an insurance proposal the status of the ruin by fire in the Cali fornia metropolis cannot be dcterm- ined until complete returns are re ceived
 Whether the fire insurance com panies are to be heavy losers or are to escape almost all loss will depend entirely upon how the devastating fires in San Francisco following the earthquake prove to have originated.
 If any building fell before it took fire the companies carrying risks are not responsible for the loss. If any building took fire from an adjoining building the companies are responsi= hle for the loss on the latter struct- ure if insured.
 Few of the large companies trans act their western business through he Now York offices. and the officials here were not posted, as q rule. as 10 the amounts carried in San Fran. cisco. or as to the character of the policies used in that city.
 The Earthquake Risks.
 The Home company alone ot those ir New York transaets it's business in California through it's New York of flee. and il was stated in the latter yesterday that the only fire insurance policy il issues in San Francisco is the standard form in use in this city. This entirely ignores risks from earth ouakes or falling of buildings from any cause, except that it stipulates that fire resulting from the fall of al1v insured building shall not be con- sidered as one of the causes of de struction which under the policy makes the company liable for loss.
 In d statement of fire insurance business done in San Francisco in 1905 it appears that foreign eOmpan ies carry the largest individual totals of insurance in that city, and the local San Francisco company doing the largest business there, the Fireman 5 Fund is only third in the list of fire insurance companies, according to the amounts of premiums received for the year The Fireman's Fund, how ever. carries the largest amount of risks for the whole state of Cali fOrnia.
 The total amount of premiums as representing the largest amount of business done in San Francisco is that of the American companies, but in the dozen companies doing the most business there are only three Amerl- can companies. In such crcumStanc- es, insurance men say. the companies dcine the largest individual business will prove heavier losers than the small companies, even though the to- tad business of the latter exceeds that of the former.

The Small Girl and Sewing.

If more were needed to insure the small girl of today against being set down to sewing tasks it has come i'll the decree of the oculist. The study of young eyes has brought forth the fact that the close application needed to make the small fingers take little stitches is very injurious. 'uemmlng and fine sewing of all kinds is very h. furious for small children, and it Is 6 great mistake in the case of little girls to begin needlework too carly" is the statement made by a famous eye doc tor. This authority also goes on to state that knitting or crocheting puts no strain upon the eyes and suggests it as one of the best of rainy day occu- pations for small people. Bone knit ting needles, he spec..es, must be used instead of steel ones.

and sensitive curst, and in Japan d gale blowing against range of mountains has been found to set the greater part of the island quivering.
 So far as can be learned there is no connection between the weather and earthquakes. yet there is a popu lal idea that they are always preced- ed by sultry or earthquake weather as it is called by the old residents of California To dsprove this it has been cited that some of the most severe shocks have come during the . absence of the earthquake weather, ard at time when the old inhabi tants least expected them from the weather indications.
 Tt appears from records in this office that California has earthquakes almost every month in the year more or less in intensity. In 1S9l, shocks were felt in some parts of California during every month, with the eXcep- ten of March and April. In 1898, there was a sever shock felt at San Francisco. Vallejo and other points. There was seismic disturbance every month that year, and some months had as many as three shocks. ln 1899 March April, May, June, July, August, September, October and December. There were shocks in every month ot 1900.
 Shocks in Memphis.
 "One of the most destructive earth ouakes in the history of Memphis and Tennessee, was that of 1Sl1, when Reefoot lake was made by the drop- ping of thousands of acres of land below the bottom of the river.
 Since the establishment of the weather bureau in Memphis, in 1872, there have been earthquakes of more Cy less intensity felt and recorded here almost every year. In 1886 the Charleston earthquake shook Mem rhis, and July 19, 1898, very severe shock was felt in Memphis. Many brick walls and chimneys were crack. ed. and the people were panic-strick en-
