suicide was considerably less in the
last period than in 1880-1S82.
-, In the previous supplement it
was remarked that there was no
other occupation in which the raw
ages of cancer approached that
anong chimney sweeps.
Ut is still noteworthy that al
though the mortality from that dis
ease has fallen by nearly one
fourth part, chimney sweeps are
still subject to the highest fatality
from this disease, although among
several other occupations, such as
servants in London, brewers, fur
riers, general laborers and seamen,
the mortality does not fall far short
Of that of chimney sweeps. 1t is
subject which, as DR.. latham
points out, deserves further atten-
ton.
For the first time in these re-
turns the question of the mortality
among women workers is dealt
with exhaustively, though it is a
matter full of difficulty. For in
stance, the case of a domestic SER
want, the daughter of a bricklayer,
who has returned home permanent
ly invalided, is given. She is
thenceforward regarded as unoccu-
pied, and in the event of death
will be registered as a bricklayer's
daughter, no mention being made
of Ter previous occupation.
In the case Of a married woman
this cause would appear to operate
even more strongly, the deceased
woman being described simply as
wife or widow, with mention of
her husbands occupation, but with
out mention of her own.
1t is rather curious that actors,
authors and journalists have no
place in these tables, even in the
index. Even numerically they must
be almost as important as, say, cos.
termongers, wigmakers and chin.

one of the most famous owners OF
race horses in the world and the
lord master of a small principally
in southern California.
He not only won the derby twice
but four times, and set a record
that has never been eQualed.
In 1885 his horse Volante took
first place; in the following year
Silver Cloud did the same; in 1885
the famous Emperor of Norfolk
ran first in the derby and then
came Rey Ell Santa Anita in 1894

the contribution-would have been
deeply insulted insulted had he not
been asked to pay.
Now, what was the matter: The
poor fellow lacks magnetism. He
feels kind things and does kind
things. But he cannot, for the life
of him, say kind things. What is
wrong? What shall he do to get
the personal magnetism so glar-
ingly lacking?
First of all he must relax his stiff
muscles. Free play in the open air,
care Of the general health and the
relaxing exercises which have de-
scribed elsewhere will do this.
Next he must gain the power of
expressing by voice and gesture
whatever is in his mind. The best
way-the very best Way-to get
this power is to make it habit to
be simple, direct and absolutely sim
cere with everybody.
A good exercise for the acquire
ment of expressiveness is to take
some good, rafting poem, learn it
by rote and then talk it when
alone. say talk it-not declaim
it, or spout it. Just talk 1t, tell 1t
in the simplest tone possible.
Lastly, to be magnetic you must
be sympathetic. Realize that each
man is different from all other
men. No two speak the same
tongue. Try to guess the language
of the man you are talking to. and
talk to him in that. Then, If you
are simple, sincere and truthful, he
will bow as he should, as l would,
to your personal magnetism"

Are you bothered with nervous
headaches?
Here is one of the simplest yet
most effective cures. All that is re-
CURED is an empty beer bottle or
even the rolling pin. Anything will
do, in fact, if it is round and hard.
Lie down flat upon your back
and place the bottle under the back
of the neck as shown in the cut, al
lowing the weight of the head to
press down the neck hard against
the bottle.

O. CRUEL WORLD!

He stood on the corner of
Sprague and Wall streets. Very
near him stood q group of admiring
girls, laughing and talking, though
you could never tell from the looks
of things that they were admiring
him.
He was tall and was dressed like
a millionaire's son. His suit was
tan, his necktie vermillion and his
socks were of a color hardly de-
scribable. He wore nearly half a
dozen pins, society, college and
otherwise.
Down Wall street came an older
man, whose hair had begun to turn
gray. He was shabbily dressed. but
clutched a fat cigar. The hour of
noon was coming to close and as
the old man hurried down the
street the young man leaned Ian
guidly against post and ogled the
girls.
The older man walked on until
he came in front of the youth. He
stopped for a moment. The young
man Quailed under his glance.
The old man bit his cigar and
then said: boy, hadn't you better
start back for the office, the kid
is sick and you'll have to sort those
letters today and answer phone
calls"
Oh, 1t was cruel, awful cruel.

FALSE FRIENDS ABUSE
HIS BALD HEAD

When a young mans hair begins
to desert the top of his head he
will go as far in experimental work
to save it as Thomas A. Edison
ever went in perfecting an inven-
tien.
He generally begins on vaseline
and massage. Soon he learns that
he rubs hair off, but that he cannot
rub it on, and that vaseline is prin-
cipally pillow decoration. Then
he goes down the line of remedies
for badness and after half a dozen
years winds up bald.
But one young man in Spokane
has broken all records, He tried
everything that everybody recon-
mended, and finally some friends
who knew of his willingness to ex-
pertinent decided to play joke on
him.
"Horseradish is the thing" said
one of them:
That's right" said another. II
knew fellow in Walla Walla
whose hair was falling out great
deal faster than yours, and he used
horseradish. 1t not only stopped
the falling out, but new crop Of
hair sprouted.
1--WE often heard Of it," said a
third. 81 don't know how l hap
pened to forget it.
The young man turned to horse
radish and rubbed his scalp with it.
1t has since been necessary for
his advisers to leave town.

ache gradually disappears. The
pressure cures because it presses
down upon two large nerves in the
back of the neck, causing them to
rest or sleep for the number of
minutes the pressure is maintained.
This rest allows the nerves to be
toned up to normal condition.
The treatment is intended for the
nervous headache. 1t will have no
effect upon the sick headache,
wherein the stomach is the cause.

In the first place what does one
mean by personal magnetism?

In the first place what does one
mean by personal magnetism?
To me personal magnetism
means the power of one person to
attract and influence other people.
Theories about personal magnet
ism are like the poor; they are
Away with us. A number of en-
terprisifg charlatans have reaped
fortunes by promising to teach the
gentle art of personal magnetism.
And what do they teach? Silly
tricks which only confuse the mis-
guided student, make him stiff and
self conscious-very often, alas,
ridiculous.
But in spite of all follies, fakes
and failures, there is such thing
as achieving the peculiar power
commonly known as personal mag
netism.
And how can 1t be done? First of
all one must be truthful-must
make 1t an invariable rule to see
or try to see-the truth, the plain.
simple truth. And then he must
tell that truth as plainly, as clearly
and as briefly as he can. He must
not think of the effect he is MAX
ing. He must not think of himself.
He must think only Of the truth.
But that is not all-only the first
part. One might have the habit of
truth seeing and of truth telling,
and yet be regarded as a vague
dreamer, bore, crank.
One must know exactly how to
express what one has in his mind.
Few can do this. l know a big
hearted, generous and charitable
business man; and l have seen
that man give check for a worthy
charity with such stiff, unsym-
pathetic manner, such curt,
crusty speech, as to wound the feel
ings of the gentlewoman who ap-
piled to him in the name of her
society.
The man was interested in the
socitay--a charter member of it, in
fact. He believed in the work it
was doing, and could we'll afford

LONG LIFE DENIED THOSE
WHO BATTLE WITH DEA TIL

LONDON, Sept. S.-Do you de-
sire long life?
If so, then follow the advice of
DR.. John latham: Become a doc
tor of divinity.
Or, if altruism and biblical inter-
probation becomes you not, you
might enter the lists in the race
with Time as gardener, a game
keeper, a farmer, or locomotive
engineer. But don't become doc
tor. According to DR.. latham, him.
self learned physician, they lead
the mortality lists, except in cases
of tuberculosis, phthisis, or dis
eases of the respiratory organs.
DR.. latham, inferentially, gives
the foregoing advice in supple
ment to the sixty-fifth annual re-
port of the registrar general. 1t
covers the years 1900-1-2.
Incidentally, DR.. latham reports
general decrease in the death
rate. There was less consumption;
therewere fewer cases of cancer;
influenza was less fatal; alcohol,
govt, liver ailments, accidents, and
even dependency, claimed fewer
victims.
Here are some of the interesting
and hopeful discoveries DR.. latham
has made while delving through
the mortality lists of the English
government:
A continuous decline in phthisis
mortality is recorded. Even
clergymen and farmers, who had
experienced an extremely low NOR
tally from this disease in 1S90-92,
experienced DR.. latham says, "a
still lower mortality in the recent
period.
"The exceptions are messengers,
inn servants, tanners, lace and
hosiery workers, lead workers and
costermongers, among whom the
mortality from phthisiS has been
practically stationary, and general
shopGeepers, cutters, iron, stone,
copper and tin miners, general la
borers, inn servants in industrial
districts, and unoccupied males,
among whom it has considerably
increased"
In cases where cancer has be-
come less fatal, either the decrease
is less small in amount, or 1t &C.
ours in an occupation in which the
workers are comparatively few.
A decrease of mortality from in
fluenza, as well as from diseases
of the circulatory and respiratory
systems, has been observed in most
of the occupations.
AS compared with lawyers, DR..
Tathom records, medical men die
more rapidly at every stage of life,
whilst, as compared with with the
clergy, their mortality is enormous
| ly in excess. tuberculosis, phthisis,
| and diseases of the respiratory or.
cams are the only CuuSeS vi uedtU
that are substantially less fatal to
medical men than to males in the
aggregate.
Diseases of the nervous and cir,
culatory systems contribute the
largest share to the mortality OF
medical men, due. no doubt, to
their anxious and arduous occupa
ton.
A sign of the times Is given in

rected so that those citizens who de-
sire to do so may put in concrete

asked for 1000 feet of new hose
On recommendation of Fire Chief
Rogers, it was decided last night to
sell the present fire team and buy
