A Hearing Ear.


A busy doctor who had engaged
young assistant was asked If he really
intended to entrust him with his
cases. "Oh, no." he replied. He VIII
listen to the patients, look sympar
thetic, and report to me in the fewest
possible words. A sick woman has to
talk Just so much, and l haven't time
TO listen" The minister, the lawyer
and the teacher might follow the doc
tors example, and employ listening
double to their great relief, remarks
the Youths Companion. In fact, it
may usually be found that the most
helpful person in the town is the one
who can listen best to the complaints
and perplexities of the women-folk.
Self-expression is as necessary for the
welfare of most women as food and
drink. The very laxative woman has
a silent husband-not simply because
she does not give him time to speak,
but because she was attracted to him
In the first place by his genius for
listening. However, there may be
gence in the habit of talking things
out" with some appreciative listener.
The wisest of women know that they
get light on their own perplexities by
the act of putting them into words. A
mother is often her own best adviser
as to the training of her child, when
she has once formulated his needs
The remedy for the fault appears
when the fault is fairly described. So
the recourse to the listening ear Is
not to be entirely deeried It is only
when continual talk breaks down the
proper barriers OF reserve that the
talking woman becomes a nuisance to
her friends and a menace to her fam
lily. 1t is pitiful to see the condition
of silent misery to which family is
reduced when one woman in 1t Is
chronic chatterer. What were your
fathers last words?" asked a sympa
thetic neighbor of little boy just
bereaved. HE didn't have any,
gravely replied the child. Mother
was with him all the time!"

Foundation Of Manners.

II parents have one set of manners
for the home and another set for the
outside world. the children will copy
those they see In the home.
There must be no selfishness at
home If one does not want the boy or
girl to grow up selfish. The foundation
of the best manners is a good heart,
of course, and kindly feeling toward
every one. Without this they are but
artificial, and will not stand the test
Of the buffeting of the world and all
its opposing forces.

Rival of White Shoes.

Summer women clad in snowy
white are to be mourned among the
good things that are gone. With the
passing of white gloves, white shoes
seem to be put on the list prescribed
Fashionable shoe dealers say that

Summer Napkin Rings.

When silver napkin rings are packed
away for the summer a dainty substi-
tute is made by covering brass rings
with embroidery silk of heavy weight.
The brass rings may be purchased at
any needlework counter. Eight small
ones make good size or four large
ones alternating with three small ones
may be used. The work can be done
with either crochet hook or ordinary
buttonhole stitch, joining together
where the ends meet Through the
rings run ribbon to match and tie on
top in n dainty bow.

Antl.rxphold incubation.

Gen. Lord Kitchener is said to be
favorably impressed with the value of
anti-typhoid incubation in the British
ness in checking enteric fever, as pre-
scented in the Journal of the Royal
Army Medical Corps is, indeed, very
strong. The method of incubation,
which was advocated in 1897 by Sir
A. e. Wright, was first tested on a
large scale in India and Egypt, with
encouraging results. It was also
shown that during an epidemic at
Maidstone not one of the "a nurses
and attendants who had been inocu-
lated was attacked, whereas there
were 16 cases of typhoid among 100
nurses who had not been inoculated.
The experiments are being continued
in India, to which country $4,000
doses of the inoculating material
have, up to date, been sent. It has
been found that a second incubation
increases the degree of immunity
Lieut.. Luxmoore reports that during
the Meerut epidemic in the Seven
teenth Lancers, 81 of the SO cases oc-
CURED in soldiers who had not been
inoculated, the other two being men
who refused to submit to second
operation. The Lancet holds that in
oculation for typhoid fever must here
after be held as necessary for the pro,
lection of soldiers as vaccination is
against SMALLPOX The observations
made during the Meerut epidemic also
emphasize the fact that sanitarians
have fixed their attention too much or
water as source of infection. More
recently, the fatal activity of flies has
received some notice; but there is {
third way in which the germs are
scattered broadcast-by means o
dust-which has heretofore been in
sufficiently studied.

The Middle Man.

A New York report says that a
great butter trust has been formed,
backed by a capital of $4,000, 900.
The projectors declare that they are
going to eliminate the middle man in
the selling of butter. and that they
propose to get control of practically
all the butter made in the country.
This butter is all to be reworked to
a single grade. It will probably prove
to be but one mode of the many fruit.

Henry Horey gives these in
teresting "reminiscences in his
paper: The Atchison Globe says
the first coal oil lamp in Atchison
was sold in go. Our recollec-
ton of early days in Kansas is
not associated very much with
the coal oil lamp. We remember
that mother had a small kerosene
lamp, but it was reserved for use
on state occasions when the
neighbors gathered in from forty
miles around to dance on our
f1oor-the only floor in Cloud
county. And that floor was made
of split cottonwood logs smooth
ed with a brOad-ax The regula-
ton light in those days in the
sixties was tallow candle,
though very often the pages of
the Tribune and New Ledger
were read in our home by the
light of a slut, a small iron
skillet filed with coon grease,
with a rag leaned up against the
side of the skillet for a wick.
The boss of this ranch has vivid
recollection of many an evening
spent in porting over Sanders
speller and Rays arithmetic by
the smoky light of a slut. 1t
was not the best light on earth,
but John D. had no strings on
the price of grease.
