The hostess can wear a pretty
afternoon gown and serve tea from
small table. Have both cream
and lemon to 60 with it, and the
very thinnest slices of bread and
butter it is possible to cut. A maid,
girl friend or younger sister must
be on hand to open the door, pass
the sugar and remove the used
cups. Be sure your tea is good
and properly made. No tea is
drinkable by anyone with the
slightest claims to taste unless it
has been freshly brewed within the
last fifteen miru es for inst nee.
The water must have just boiled
for the first time, and only boliei
five minutes at longest. The tea

A Place for Jeremiah X *

A young preacher residing near
Boston, a recent graduate from COL
1ege, visited a brother in Idaho
some weeks ago and during his stay
here was asked to conduct the usual
church services in the school house
one Sunday. He accepted and gave
an endless discourse ON the proph-
cts. First ne dweit at ength on the
minor prophets. At last he fin
ished them, and the congregation
gave a sigh of relief. He took a
long breath and continued.

The burden bear as best we can,
And thcrc'll be none to bear;
Hard work has never killed o man,
But worry did its share.
Don't worry, dear; don't shrink
don't yield,
But dare the years to come;
Nor give the enemy the field
Because he beats his drum.
These little woes that hover near
Are nothing, though they gall;
We know that life is love, my dear,
And life and love are all.

Don't Worry

Don't worry, dear: the bleakest
years
That clog the forward view,
Each thins to nothing when it nears,
And we may sauatcr through.
The darkest momcnt never comes,
It only looms before;
The loss of hope is what benumbs,
Not trouble at the door
Don't worry, dear; the clouds are
black,
But with them comes the rain;
And stifled souls that parch and
crack
May thrill with sap again.

THE COTTON

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened steady at an advance Of 445
points in response to higher cables than
expected. and reports that interior holders
were not responsible TO the decline in
futures. There was heavy Wall Street
selling on the call, however, leading to the
impression thai some big long was
liquidating and local professionals took
the short side right after the opening,
with the result that the market became
weak and sold some 70 to Is points under
last nights final on the active months.
business was very active, and after the
first rush of liquidation the market rallied
Z or s points from the lowest on covering,
and some Lul support attracted by the
reports of firmness in the South, although
one wire was received from Mississippi
predicting that holders would be free
sellers for the next ten days.
After the Wall Street selling orders had
been executed, the market ruled steadief,
rallying to about the closing figures Of
last night. Subsequent fluctuations were
rather irregular and trading less active,
with prices about 2@i points net lower NJ

Royalties are early cured of N shyness
of being looked at. They are there TO be
seen, and both the King and Queen when
they go 10 the opera and turn their glasses
on to the occupants of opposite boxes are
openly amused by the Disconnected looks
OF persons who feel abashed under the in
spection. Not a trace Of elf-consciousness
is left on the face of an English royalty,
with the exception of, perhaps, a single
princess under an artillery of glances.
Such attentions are anything but resented.
Indeed. the beautiful Duchess Of Devon
shire used to say that when the butcher
boy ceased to turn round after her in the
street she would know her reign was
over. The King and Queen Will never lack
such homage. All the same. the delight
Of Edward VII. in finding himself so Inn

H COLD KEY.
A Popular and an Ancient Remedy for
the Nosebleed.

Ine NoSeDieeu.
In cases of hemorrhage, especially in
those of bleeding from ths~Ressst ossr
forefathers applied to the forehead and
to the nose ointments, and even THE
patients own bloodA They practtsed
legation of the limbs a means de-
Yised by Apollonius in the reign of
Nero, ligating the great toe Of the side
corresponding to the bleeding nostriI,
and they resorted to derivation by
bloodletting. They plugged the ears
with tow, a procedure recommended
by Galen. But above all they sought to
produce fainting. Locally the hemas-
tatic most employed was spiders web,
with which they filed the nasal fossa.
OF all these empirical procedures the
most widespread and the one still most
employed in popular medicine is the
application of cold. The most avail
able source of cold, because it is every
where p~rocurable, is water, conse-
quently it has oftenest been employed.
In epistaxis the ancient physicians adj
vised bathing the face with very cold
water and causing it to be held in the
mouth. They also soaked the hands
and feet in cold water.
On the theory that cold things re-
strain hemorrhage many persons re-
placed water by solid cold objects and
hung about the necks of the patients
attacked with epistaxis coral, jasper,
yellow amber, marble or articles of
iron. Physicians pointed out, indeed,
certain regions with which IL was pref
cradle to make the contrast. They re-
allied that it was the GOODNESS of the
object, not its nature, that did the
work. No special property must be at
tributed to the iron, said Guyon-D elois,
for chains of gold, silver or lead would
serve the same purpose. In popular
medicine. however, iron has remained
the material most employed in nasal
hemorrhages, and the application of the
key to the back is largely resofted to
in the household. DIR. Helot possesses
an enormous key which he uses only
as a paperweight. One day a patient.
pointing to this massive key, exclaimed:
1T is to stop hemorrhages.P 1t was q
key of the eighteenth century.
We may laugh, says M. Helot, at the
charm attributed to the key In epis-
taxis, but we must admit that cold has
a certain action in cases of hemorrhage.
1t contracts the capillary vessels. When
it is applied at a distance from the
site of hemorrhage its efficiency may
be a matter for discussion, but its ef-
feet is certain when it is applied to
the actual seat Of the bleeding, and
rhinologists know the value of caus-
ing the patient to swallow ice. Possi-
bly, the cold key has no other hemastat-
sic power than what is connected with
the sensation of cold which it pro-
kduces; a cold compress would proba-
bly, act with more certainty, but IL
would be difficult to dethrone the key
which one always has in one's pocket
There is certainly some wisdom in the
resources of our ancestors and Of the
common people, even as the alchemists
of old were no fools, as is shown by our
modern chemistry.-NeV York Medical
Journal.
