JINGO" IN DANGER
kenosha Yacht Capsized in Lake
off Kenosha, Late Saturday
Afternoon.-AII Saved
LIFE SAVERS TO THE RESCUE

| Kenosha came near having a lake
tragedy on Saturday afternoon, when
| the yacht "Jingo," the smallest of the
craft in the Kenosha Yacht Club
fleet, capsized in the lake mile off
the Kenosha harbor, and for more
half an hour the three members of
the crew struggled to keep them
selves above the waves, while the life
saving crew in the big surf boat
rushed to their assistance and reached
them in time to save them from a
watery grave.
On board the little yacht we're Will
liam Weight, Otto Rossman and Wal
ter WEIGH. The three boys had gone
out on the yacht just after O'Clock.
The lake was as calm as glass when
they sailed out of the harbor and they
had planned for a three hours cruise.
| When mile out in the 1ake.the yacht
suddenly turned over and1the lookout
for the life saving crew noticed the
three boys hanging to the overturned
craft and signaling for aid.
The three boys were a little un-
communicative as to to the cause of
the capsizing of the yacht, and in fact
they seemed to consider the whole of
the adventure great joke. It is said,
however, that when the yacht was
well out of the harbor one of the
members of the crew had started to
crawl to the top of the mast and that
his weight was sufficient to overturn
the boat. All of the members of the
crew were thrown into the water and
when the life savers reached them
they were soaked to the hide. How
ever, they we're decidedly cheerful
and were clinging to the bottom of
the boat.
The "Jingo" is said to be one of the
staunchest little boats in the harbor
and she is able to stand up against a
good deal of stormy weather, but lack
of ballast is alleged to have been the
cause of her turning over on Satur-
day. The members of the crew were
back aboard the yacht on Sunday
just as if nothing had happened.
The accident happened in sight of
the beach and it caused great excite
ment. Hundreds Of people crowded
along the beach and watched the res
cue of the boys by the members of the
life saving crew.

Kenosha county, in the person of
Claude Miller, a Milwaukee man
charged with burglary. Miller is
making a hard effort to dispose of

officials to plead guilty, and he ex-
poets to go to Waupun, so he wants
to get rid of the money on hand be-
fore he goes. To this end he has
taken to stocking his cell with fruits
and pies. Pies are his real speciality,
and he is able to dispose of two of
them an hour. During his two weeks
of confinement he has managed to
get rid of four dollars, and he is now
doubling his exertions to rid himself
of the other four before the latter
part of the week.
Some of the prisoners have con-
sented to aid him. but he has declined
to accept the prefer.

lnfuenZa.-A simple Urea atnent Is to take twelve drops of cinnamon oil and repeat the dose in an hour. Two hours afterward take ten drops and repeat every two hours until the temperature falls to normal or even a little below. Ten drops of the oil should be taken three times a day for a day or 80, this ending the treatment Take the oil in about a wineglassful of water each time. However, 1t should not be for gotten that a stiff case of grip de mands the attention of a doctor.
 Pneumonia.-Half the drugs known to materia medica have been used for pneumonia. Years ago patients were bled. Then came an era of counter-ir- rltation, which was followed by one of antipyretics. Quinine gave way to aconite, which in turn was desplaced by whisky, strychnine, digltalis and lee packs. To-day, the more advanced physicians let nature combat the disease. All they do to help Is to keep the patient clean and comfortable and give plenty of nourishment and fresh air. The use of drugs is well-nizh abandoned and the body fights its bat tie alone.
 RheumatIsm.-Hod soda baths are recommended for rheumatism, and the way they are taken is this: Fill a tub half full of water as hot as can be borne, and half a pound of common baking soda and immerse the body for at least twenty minutes, keeping up the temperature by the addition of hot water from time to time Vasellne or cold cream should be rubbed into the skin afterwards in order to replace the natural oils Salol has been used with good effect in the treatment of acute rheumatism. particularly the muscular variety. Salol is a chemical compound of salicylic acid and phenol or car bolic acid. The dose for an adult is ten grains every three bours.

superior safety of the Pullman cars Is due to their stronger construction and heavier weight While It is perfectly appropriate and reasonable that those passengers who pay the additional charge should enjoy the extra comforts they pay for, all passengers should be equally safe. Freight cars of steel con. struction have almost superseded eer- tain classes of wooden freight cars, be ing lighter and cheaper in the long run. Might 1t not be a safeguard against fatal accidents to construct passenger coaches of steel? At least, all passen- ger cars should be made as strong and safe as Pullman cars. There can be DO doubt that many lives would be saved if this were done. and 1t would probably be far cheaper for the rail- road companies In the end.

It Is interesting to note the rate at which new theories of medical science are reversing those that prevailed a few years ago. Once when the con- sumptiye was told to seek a change of climate he checked his trunk for Flor Ida or some other sub-tropical section. But advanced views upon the nature and treatment of the disease have ma terially changed that. Dryness Is a much more important condition than warmth. The patient can be protected agoinst cold, but against moisture In the climate there Is no defense except to run away from It The full force of extreme expression of the reaction is illustrated by the fact that a Wash fngton physician proposes to take about thirty consumptiye patients on a health. seeking expedition to Greenland this summer.

A Moving Likeness.

An artist who Is commissioned to paint a portrait knows the desirabili- ty of what Is termed "a speaking like ness" One artist who was called upon to execute a portrait from an old tin type found that still more was ex- pected of him.
 This Isn't satisfactory to me or to Emma Jane, our daughter" said the widower, who had produced the tin type as his sole picture of ma."
 "No, I should suppose not" the ar tist agreed.
 Well, now, what we want Is this," and the widowed looked at him wist- fully. Wed like you to keep the fea- lures about as they are, only llyen 'em up some and make 'em sort O twitchy."
 "Twitchyi' echoed the artist, vaguely.
 "Yes, twitchy," said the widower, with a decided nod. You see, we loved ma just as she was, an she had a kind of a nervous twitch to her mouth an nose that kep' up most of the time.
 "I don't expect you to paint 'em twitching," he added, tolerantly, but want, and Emma Jane wants they should look as If they might twitch any minute"

Incomplete statistics covering only United States show death rate of 16.2 for each thousand for the year 1905. A comparison with the death rates Of a number of years falls to reveal any improvement, but rather indicates retrogression. Tuberculosis, pneumonia and cancer rank as the leading causes of disease, and the last-named disease claims more and more victims. The hg- ures do not make a pleasant impression, but 1t is well to bear in mind that the question of health, sanitation, hygiene, individual and social, were never more earnestly studied than now, and that within the last year or two much has been done to insure a diminution Of the death rate In the near future. Very likely even the statistics for 1906 will contain gratifying evidence of the bene- fcial effects of this activity, but, at any rate, the years to come are certain to bear testimony to the value of the work, theological and practical, lay and scientific, that is being done In combat ing disease. Research and investiga- ton, more liberally endowed, are grad ually solving the problems of diseases that have been as baffling as they are menacing and fatal. On the other hand. the duty and practicabilty of prevent ing disease by establishing and main aiming healthy conditions are more and more keenly realized. Tuberculosis, il Is now understood, Is social disease,
 and a successful campaign against Il involves attacks on sweatshops, filthy tenements, dark and oyercrowded base ments and "alcoves" and insanitary factories. The gospel of plenty of pure air Is preached more vigorously than ever, and as one result we have cru sades against smoke and dust from quarters which have taken little inter. est in financial and commercial or aesthetic objections to the smoke hui sance. Exercise, moderation, temper ance and legislation in various direc- tions safeguarding the health of womer and minors in the mills and factories cannot but contribute powerfully to the physical welfare of the people. The lesson of the mortality statistics Is the aeed of even greater attention to healtb and stricter enforcement of all laws directly or indirectly tending to pro tect 1t

 Our bedroom was a delightful sort of a place, rambling. low-ceiled, with unexpected gabled windows in the thick stone walls.

WINTER.

The day had been a calm and sunny day. And tinged with amber was the sky at
 even; The feecy clouds at length had rolled
 away, And lay in furrows on the eastern
 heaven; The moon arose and shed a glimmering
 ray, And round her orb a misty circle lay. The hoar-frost glittered on the naked
 heath, The roar of distant winds was loud and
 deep, The dry leaves rustled in each passing
 breath, And the gay world was lost in quiet
 sleep. Such was the time when, on the landscape
 brown, Through a December air the snow came
 down. The morning came, the dreary morn, at
 last, And showed the whitened waste. The
 shiyering herd Lowed on the hoary meadow ground, and
 fast Fell the light flakes upon the earth un-
 stirred; The forest frs with glittering snows o'er-
 laid Stood like boar priests in robes of white
 arrayed. John Howard Bryant.

Frequent references are seen in the Washington dispatches nowadays to the Congressional whip" of the party in power. This Is new phrase in Ameri- can history, although it has been in common use in English history for many generations The whip" or the member of Parliament who keeps track of the members of his party, who gets them into the House when they are needed. and conveys to them the wishes of the premier or the leader of the op- position, Is one of the Indispensable agents in the British system. Of late years here the Speaker Of the House of Representatives has used a member to do this service for him as the rep resentative of the party in power, and the party out of power naturally has to follow his example.

 An Irish IdyII
~~NNN~o~


 "I don't seem to have an idea left In my head"
 Molly O'Moore's head was a pretty one, however empty she might think 1t. Her speech was apparently made to about half dozen cows grazing sleep fly in a field under a brilliantly blue sky.
 She was surprised, therefore, when a voice suddenly answered her-a young voice withal.
 Gan I be of any assistance?" It said, and laugh was followed by the appearance of a tall, well-built man of thirty or whereabouts.
 Miss O'Moore surveyed him some what disparagingly-not on account of his aspect, which WAS beyond reproach but because she Judged his offer of assistance somewhat superfuous.
 q am afraid not" she said at length. He had stood her scrutiny without flinching; you See it's for a ,ompetition.'
 He bowed, but his smile still lin- gered. He did not think 1t necessary or prudent to inform her that he did not see!
 So be waited for further explana- tions, admiring meanwhile the dainty pose of the girls dark head, the flash of her bright blue eyes. The slim, girl ish figure wore much washed muslin with much inimitable grace.
 "It Is so stupid" she said, appar- ently sufficiently satisfied with her ex- animation to make a confidant of him. There Is a competition in this paper. waving the Dublin Duchess with de- liant hands-'but 1t Is for engaged girls" Fifty pounds Is a lot of money, isn't lt?"
 He saw she was serious, and altered his mood accordingly.
 Tt Is," he answered, feeling somehow glad that she could not possibly know that his income per week amounted to more than double that sum. @One could do a lot with fifty pounds, of course"
 "I was thinking It would huy dad book or two he has wanted for years. and a coat-his is So old and we might be able to afford neat more
