Average Length OF Life.

The man who lives until he is
more than century old and the
child who dies in infancy are alike
included in the law of averages. They
balance each others chances, as 1t
were.
OF 100000 people living at the
age of ten, only 1854 will live to
the age of twenty-one, only S2,2S4
will be living at forty, only 40 will
be living at ninety-six, and only 8
at ninety-seven. At thirty, the aver
age man may take it that he has
under thirty-five years to live; at
forty, under twenty-eight years; at
fifty, under twenty-one years; at SIX
ty under fourteen years.
In each and all of these cases,
how he lives will determine whether
he will have longer life or shorter
life, but the average will infallibly
work out within a space of ninety
years.-Cassell's Saturday Journal.

1T seems probable that an increase

ton the disasters of last December.

Counting the big disasters, the deaths
will be more than 1000, which will
be a fifty Pc" cent. increase over the

increase of more than iifty-seven per
cent. in the number of men injured"

The fever of life is the result of our
experiment with the things which
ought to make for our happiness.
Somehow We cannot get the rig.t
proportion, and instead of receiving
JOY and peace and larger life from
our use of the mixture, we find our
selves weak and feverish, and sick at
heart. Let us go to Him, and take
His life for our example. Let US
note what things He counted precious
and what things He rejected as harm
full to the soul.
Let us accept Him IS the way, and

STARVING GENTLEWOMEN.

Extraordinary cases of starving
gentlewomen have come to light, such
as superannuated governesses, wild
ows of improvident husbands and
those who in the days of their youth
were able to make quite comfort
able income as clerks or otherwise.
By gradual stages representatives
of all these types have sunk lower
and lower, and sometimes have
sought forgetfulness in drink, have
come to the lowest grade before drift
ing into the shelter of the institute.
Here was for instance a wretched
looking creature, but with unmistak-
able signs of having once been "a
lady, whose only source of income
lay in her handful of boot laces which
she sold to mechanics in their midday
rest. She proved to be the daughter
of baronet, whose marriage had dis
pleased her family.
Estranged from her relatives by
the quarrel of early life, she had too
much pride to reveal to them the pow
erty by which she had of late been
overtaken; but, absolutely miserable,
she crept about the streets of our
vast city as successfully hidden as if
living in another hemisphere, far
from the gorgeous mansion, the car
riages and the servants which once
were hers by right of birth.-From

A Part OF The Treatment.

Il believe" said DR.. John M.
Kitchen, Il was the first physician
in Northern Indiana to make use of
chloroform. l was a young fellow,
not much past FL years old, the ink
hardly dry on my sheepskin, when a
man came into my Office to have an
aching tooth pulled out.
Il had a small bottle of chloro-
form, and with the hardihood of
youth l made up my mind to use
it. He readily went under the inf1u-
ence of the new anesthetic, | pulled
manfully and the grinder came out.
l waited, but the patient did not re-
turn to consciousness. l was badly
frightened, and hastily Selling a
bucket with about two gallons Of
water in it l poured it over him.
Gasping, he came out from the in
fluence of the chloroform. Then he
wanted to know what l meant by
giving him such soaking.
Mastering all my professional
sang froid calmly replied: That,
sir, is part of the treatment and he
went away, greatly to my relief, en-
tirely satisfied"

How Scarecrow Earns His Wages.

As he stands in the middle of the
fiat Suffolk field there is little TO
show that he is not the ordinary
inanimate scarecrow. He stands mo-
tionless for five minutes at a time,
and only when a bird is tempted by
the fresh corn just appearing above
the ground does he show any sign
of life. But then 1t is that the
scarecrow moves; he hits an old tin
can with with tie rusty handle OF
a shovel and frightens the birds and
makes them fly quickly out of sight.
So he spends his day, this old.
bent man, and at the end he is paid
Is pence. He is the village scare

My skin peeled, and the high fever played

Storing Icicles For Summer Use.


South Germans produce ice from
pure water in winter. They use a
large wooden framework in two
stories, about six yards square and
six yards high.
Each story is covered with a floor
of Is parallel beams, in the center
of which tube is incased in wood
rises beyond the upper floors. This
tube is connected with the water
main and the water issues through a
rotating disk which sends a moving
spray on the beams. AS the water
drops from the beams icicles are
formed which reach the middle floor
and finally the ground. The volume
Of water is regulated according to
the temperature of the ice.
AS the ice retains the shape iof
isolated columns, 1t is broken up
easily and removed. The ice is then
stored for use in summer.-Chicago

Thrill For Nitroglycerin Handler.

Fran Hall, local oil we'll shooter,
had a "scary' experience recently.
He was carrying a can containing
eight quarts of nitroglycerin past the
end of pile of casing at drilling
well just a sthe driller came from
the derrick floor and stepped on a
joint of the pipe.
1t was balanced in the middle and
his weight caused the other end to
tip up, striking the bottom of the
can carried by Hail. Both the men
held their breaths for an instant,
awaiting the explosion that they had
good cause to expect would follow,
but they were agreeably surprised
in nothing of the kind occurring.
The tin bottom was denied, but
there was enough spring in the tin
to absorb the shock of the collision
without disturbing to the exploding
point the dangerous contents. - Oil

Whale Impaled On Pile Driver.

An immense Blacklist or finback
whale thirty feet long located itself
under a pile driver at fish trap
location near the entrance to Decep-
ton Pass a few days ago. The pile
was pushed clear through the huge
body of the fish and was pounded
into the tide lands underneath by
the heavy driving hammer.
The struggles of the fish shook
the pile driver so violently that the
lothian fell from the second station
of the driver rigging to the deck,
and was rescued from drowning only
by the prompt action of John Nelson,

MERRY WIDOW HAT PASSES.

Great as is the Merry Widow hat
the power of ridicule is greater. So
one sees the style grow beautifully
less, as the orders at the straw hat
factories prove. The outing hats now
come as a relief, with their brilliant
bands of silks and embroidered lin
ems. Quite the bravest trimming of
the season is the Powered cretonne.
Sometimes it is used like ribbon to
form a tight, crushed band around
the crown and finished with a big
bow at the side or back, and again it
is used in a plain tailored band, with
it's edges finished with straw.-New

JANE adams ARGUMENT.

JANE adams ARGUMENT.
Miss Jane Adams has completed
her course of lectures delivered
throughout the country in favor OF
woman suffrage. She based her ar
gument on the plea that the we'll
being of the working woman and her
children is in the hands of the NUM-
cipality. Questions affecting the light,
air, fire protection and proper sewer
age of their homes are all in the
hands of the city authorities. Pure
food, clean milk and matters pertain
ing to health regulations come more
forcibly to the housekeeper's atten-
ton than to that of the man of the
family. Pointing out that legislation
for the protection of children has
been pushed forward by women al
most to the exclusion of men. she
argues that they could do more for
the protection of their homes and for
the welfare of the nation if they had
the ballot.-New York Sun.
