There seems to be no more gallantry
ia Englishmen than among ourselves.
The London county council recent.
provided a special car for working
women on one of the electric car lines,
but it was impossible to keep it for
women. When cars were crowded men
climbed aboard the women's car and
took possession, claiming that as they
had paid their fares they had rights
which no regulation of the county coun-
Gil could abrogate. This is bad enough,
but now the court to which the case
was referred has upheld the men in
their contention and women will have
to do the best they can in rush hours.
In New York a similar case has just
been decided in the same way. The
park board set aside certain seats in
the parks for women and children. but
mel paid no heed TO the rule. ald the
court says they are right not to do SO.
Women have n hard time of it in this
man-governed world. There was day
when public sentiment favored women
and gave them certain advantages on
account of their sex and supposed fra
gility. But now that they have become
suffragettes. battling with policemen
and storming the doors of parliament.

This may result from the most trivial
wound. A very weak mixture of car
bolic acid and wafer, such as a drug
gist or physician who deals in drugs
can furnish. should be kept on hand
to prevent danger. 1t should be poured
on a cloth and wrapped round any such
wound after first washing it carefully
This mixture. which contains about 10
per cent of carbolic acid in water. is
sufficient to purify any ordinary wound
and keep out impurities II it is well
wrapped with clean, dry cloth. Even
the scratch of a needle or pin in the
laundry tub may cause blood poisoning
IL the water contains coloring matter
or any impurities powerful enough TO
cause this result.

Cure for Pneumonia.

After experimenting with new Sc
rum for many months, DR. Bertrand,
of Antwerp, has announced to the med
ical world that the serum he discover
ed will cure pneumonia successfully.
Il first satisfied myself of the effica-
cy of my serum he says, by expert
menting on animals. Then trials were
made last winter in the st. Elizabeth
and Stuyvenburg hospitals in Antwerp.
Several of the patients had pneumonia
in an advanced stage and were also
habitual drunkards, which always ia
creases the gravity of the danger. In
every case the serious symptoms were

Leave Your Child Alone.

If you'll get deep enough into a
child's confidence you'll find that it's
one burning desire-the one dream Of
what il intends to do when it gets
grown-is to get away from mamma
and papa and do some perfectly simple
thing that it is not allowed to do at
home. There is not one child in a
thousand among well-to-do people who
are able to give what they consider suf
ficient care to their children who is
ever permitted the slightest independ
ence OF action or thought. That is what
makes poverty blessing to children
and the reason that so many of our
most famous men and women and our
most daring and original thinkers have
sprung from the humblest ranks in

For the Thin Woman.

The first suggestion is TO preserve
the height and also maintain breadth.
AS short skirts tend to take away the
height skirts should be as long as pos
sible.
Slender women should wear princess
and empire models as height is reckon
ed by the length from the waist line
For street wear the plated skirt I'M
trimmed is very much the best choice.
With this the coat must be either
short or very long. as n three-quarter
length will not be becoming
Black hats should not be worn, for
when black hat is worn the height
seems to stop at the face.
This may be avoided by wearing a
touch of white on the hat so that the
eye may be carried beyond the face

Machinery which has lightened the
hardest labor of the farmer, miner and
all other Industries which were once
laborious and severe, has at last been
adapted to the less strenuous but ex-
hausting household work, and electric

such extent have the labor-saving de-
vices been Developed, says Popular Me-
chanics, there is now scarcely anything

not be performed by turning a switch

One Of the noblest and most self
sacrificing feats In the history OF the
American navy occurred in September,
1904, when Commodore Preble attack
ed Tripoli. He bombarded the town
for an hour and half, when, the wind
rising, he was compelled to withdraw.
1t was then decided to send either an
immense torpedo or floating mine to
destroy the Tripolitan cruisers in the
harbor. For this dangerous expedition
the Intrepid of Decatur's famous ex-
and impenetrable darkness.
One hundred barrels Of gunpcwdcr
were placed under her decks and over
these were laid shot and shell and ir-
regular pieces Of iron. Combustibles
were placed in other parts of the yes
sci, to be set on fire at a given signal
This destructive sea monster was
placed in charge of Capt. Somers. who.
with Lieut.. Wadsworth, had been Sc
lected from the men volunteering for
the perilous undertaking. A young
officer by the name Of Israel also got
on the Intrepid by stealth. These brave
officers were the only persons engaged
I'm the expedition, excepting sailors tc
row the two boats that were to tow
the torpedo into the harbor and carry
away the officers afterward
At 0 o'clock, September A, 1904, ar
unusually dark night, the Intrepid was
lowed to the harbor. Upon the
American warships eyes were strained
trying to pierce the gloom that closed
in on the Intrepid.
Suddenly a fierce light illumined the
dark waters Of the bay, throwing into
bold relief town, castle, shipping end
shores. Then came the report of ter
rife explosion that made the earth, sea
and air tremble for miles around
Flaming fragments fell i'm fearful
shower, and then all was again silence
and impenetrable darkness.
All through the dong night hours anx
ious men paced the American vessels
watching and listening in the direction
of the explosion for the return of the
brave men who went upon this hazard.
GUS expedition They, poor fellows
never came out Of the harbor, nor have
they ever been heard Of Their fate
has been a profound mystery for nearly
century The corsairs of the Tripoli-
tan navy were destroyed, however, and
the sacrifice was not In vain.
