In a NItrog1ycertn MHin.,

In the danger area" the severest
discipline is maintained. All entrances
are carefully guarded by searchers,
who vigorously examine every indi-
vIdual that desires to enter, relieving
him of any metallic objects that may
be carried upon his person, together
with matches and other suspicious OBJ
jects which upon coming into contact
with the dangerous chemicals used in
this zone might provoke serious trou-
Bile. No matter how often an employee
engaged within the hill may pass In
and out, every time he enters he must
submit to this preliminary and essen
tial operation. There are also some
500 girls employed, and these are un-
der the charge Of matrons. Hairpins,
ordinary pins, shoe buttons, metal pegs
within the soles Of the shoes, knitting
and other needles are all rellgiously
barred. Their hair is tied with braid
or ribbon, and, as with the male en-
ployes, every time they enter the dan
ger area" they are similarly searched
by the matrons.-Scientfflc American.

spirit of DIR. Hutchinson's between-the
line criticism OF the public intelli-
gence. The physician plainly lntimates
that he believes any person who per.
mlts himself to become prey to the
grip fails thereby to establish denial
OF his simian ancestry, while those
who woefully confess weakness for
colds are as certainly emulating the
shallowness Of the initiative parrot
According to DR.. Hutchinson an cpl

tion and catching cold" Is supremacy
foolish. He would have us understand
that our systems, while the happy
hunting grounds of swarms Of savage
bacilll, are provided by nature with a
mighty force Of defenders, a guard Of
protective substances In the blood
known to their professional acquaint-
ances as anti-bodies. Upon the invad-
Ing germs the ant-bodies make con-
slant war, and the failure of the for
mer to harm Us depends upon the
strength and fighting quality Of the
latter to keep them In subsection and
put them to rout Now, the antl-bodiee
feed on fresh air and grow strong and
vigorous on cold baths. Exercise Of
the body in the open puts them IN the
pink Of condition, but they weaken and
finally fade away once we try to coddle

Ing our friends, the anti-bodies, and
helping the bacillic enemy to a sweep
ing victory. We do not 'catch cold" by
sitting In drafts, but by avoiding them.
1t does not follow that because the air
of the sleeping room is kept cold by
the absence of heat that 1t Is also kept
pure, and the more clothing we pile
on our bodies the more sensitive we
make them. In a word, this authority
again sounds the warning that fresh

There are some men who have 80 little
self-respect that they do not keep up a
decent pretence of virtue when the object

the shaking 1 had received l was In no
mood to refuse.
We went into the sitting room. Laure
was lying on the couch holding the hand
of Miss Dalrymple, who sat on stool
by her side.
"Oh, haven't you got all that over

them. "Sit down, Keene." He touched
the bell. Its absurd nonsense 20 en-

tone of mingled surprise, regret and re-

harshly, "and you ought to know it, Ger

Miss Dalrymple looked perfectly amaz-

could well enough. Mr.. Yeames had
already thought better Of his proposal to
make the penniless Miss Dalrymple
partaker in his fortune, and did not care
how soon there should be a breach be

sudden fit of dislike to Laurie which had
led him 30 make this savage onslaught

A Hard Kuock.

Railroad claim agents have little
faith In their fellow creatures. One
said recently: Every time l settle q
claim with one of these hard headed
rural residents who wants the rail-
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher If he gets a sheep
killed, l think of this story, illustra-
tive of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for every
accident, of whatever kind, that hap
pens. Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into ditch, overturned, and
they were both stunned. When a res
cuer came along and revived them the
first thing one of them said was,
where's the train? Why, there's no
train around he was told. Then
where's the railroadT The nearest
railroad is three miles away he learn
ed. Well, we'll, he commented. I
knew it hit us pretty hard, but didn't
suppose 1t knocked us three miles
from the track i'-Argonaut.

Whenever any reform Is advocated
which will cause loss to any Inter
est" or entail expense, some one is sure
to raise an alarm. Nothing Is more
wholesome than to have the objector
answered as was a representative of
the dairy interests of Maine by the
chairman Of the State board of health.
The dalryman declared that the efforts
to maintain the desired standard of
purity In milk would cost the farmers
eight million dollars. There Is an
other business In this State" was the
answer, (which in value far transcends
all the products of the COW. 1t is the
rearing Of children. The value of this
output of Maine has been recognized
far and wide. If the calves of the
State are worth eight million dollars,
the babies are worth twenty millions.
In Maine more than two thousand in
fants under two years Of age die every
wear. and in Massachusetts more than
twelve thousand; and 1t is known that
very large part of this appalling
slaughter Is due to impure milk." There
is the whole thing LIN milk-can.

The preaching of the gospel Of fresh
air as a panacea for 90 per cent of the
superficial ills to which humanity falls
victim continues a serious and helpful
habit with those who have proved its
efficacy. Still, the majority of people
read the advice of authorities on the
subject, admit the logic of their con-
clusions, determine to heed the list Of
"donts" included and Immediately
thereafter revert to their old careless
