The Business Of Sympathy.

One of the most valuable items Of
ones social stock in trade nowadays
is sympathy. A little goes ire
mendously long way, and the great
advantage is that it need never be
real. People never stop to think
whether the seeming interest in
ones illnesses, the sorrow for ones
domestic worries, the interest in
ones long string of woes and wor-
ries, is simulated. Nor do honest
ly believe they really care. The ma
jority of folk just want listening
ear and fuss for the time being.

PERsPIRA1IoN.
The important Functions Of This Wa.
terry Secretion.

The Important Functions Of This Wa.
terry Secretion.
The perspiration is a watery Sc
erection of certain curiously coiled
glands in the skin. 1t used to be
thought that it served useful pur-
pose in removing waste matters
from the system, and there is no
doubt that it does so in a measure,
but it cannot compare in this re.
spect with the secretion of the kid
neys. Indeed it is ninety-eight and
eight-tenths parts water, and the
solid part is chiefly chloride of So
dunn, which gives it the we'll known
salty taste. Its function is to mois-
ten the superficial layer of cells in
the skin and so facilitate their re-
moval. But its chief use is believ-
ed to be to regulate the tempera-
ture of the body and prevent, by
evaporation, excessive and danger
Gus heat.
The quantity secreted depends
much upon the temperature Of the
air, exercise and the amount of fluid
drunk. But it averages between
thirty and forty ounces a day.
It varies in inverse proportion to
the secretion of the kidneys. The
secretion is constant summer and
winter, day and night, but ordinari.
ly evaporation keeps pace with it,
and it does not appear as moisture
on the skin. This is called the in
sensible perspiration, while that
visible as water is called the sensi.
bic perspiration.
1t is decreased in amount in GER
tain diseases, such as diabetes, in
which the kidney secretion is enor-
mously increased, and in ichthyosis,
a dry, scaly disease of the skin.
Increased perspiration may be
purely nervous in origin, as seen in
the beads on the forehead of one
who is embarrassed, or the cold
sweat of fear or some other power
full emotion. In some cases the in
creased perspuation is localized in
the hands and feet. If this is an
expression of general weakness, ton
les and good food may correct the
condition, but usually local treat
ment is called for. Immersing the
palms of the hands or the soles of
the feet in water as hot as it can be
borne for about five minutes and
then, after drying, busting them
with very finely powdered boric
acid is often of great service.
The moist hand may be kept dry
by frequent application to the
palms of a saturated solution of
boric acid in cologne water.
The perspiration that occurs at
night in consumption and other dis
eases, accompanied with hectic fe
yer, is often very distressing. The
quantity of water exuded is some
times enormous, soaking not only
night clothes, but the entire bedding
and mattress. If the patients con-
dition will permit, hot bath of
four or five minutes duration at
bedtime will sometimes prevent or
lessen night sweats. If this is not
permissible, sponging with hot vine
gar and water may be tried. A glass
of milk and half dozen crackers
taken at midnight will also OCCASION
ally be found useful. - Youths

 To Commit Murder
COUSIN PROTECTS WIFI

Puyallup, Nov. 1S-Elmer Rhodes was fatally shot last night while at tempting to break into his own house. The shooting was done by his cot sin, Roy Bushnell, who asserts that he acted in defense of himself and of Mrs. Rhodes.
 According to the story told by Mrs. Rhodes and by Bushnell, Rhodes was drunk. During the day he had had trouble with his wife,, and when he returned at night he was denied ad- mittance. Upon the refusal of Mrs. Rhodes to admit her husband to the house he armed himself with an axe and was in the act of breaking down the door when Bushnell, who lived in the house, came in response to calls from Mrs. Rhodes.
 According to the story, Bushnell warned Rhodes to desist, and to go away, but the latter refused, declar- ing that he would kill both Bushnell and Mrs. Rhodes once he obtained entrance. It was then that Bushnell fired.
 After the shooting Bushnell notified Che authorities, and gave himself up. He is being held without charge pend- ing the result of Rhodes wounds from which recovery is believed to be impossible.

LIGHTHOUSE WOULD
 HAVE SAVED DELAY
Pennsylvania Has Hard Time Because Of Lack Of
 Aids To Navigation

Storm-tossed, plunging through seas that to those on board appeared as high as Mt. St. Elias, steamship Penn. sylvania of the Alaska Steamship Company's fleet for three days on her last trip north, was compelled to beat about in circle off Cape St. Elias In addition, the Pennsylvania was caught in a dense fog in Seymoure narrows and delayed for nearly sixty hours.
 Altogether the voyage of the Penn sylvania was the worst in the experi- ence of her master, Capt. Jimmie Daniels. At times the steamship shipped seas fore and aft, and all this in sight of land, or what would have been in sight of land had there been light house to aid the mariner in locating himself. According to Capt. Daniels there was no time while off St. Elias that he could not have come into port had there been proper aid to navigation in the way of light house or whistling buoy.
 AS it was, the Pennsylvania came into port none the worse for her ex- perience, and with only negligent government to blame for the long de- lay and unpleasant hours spent toss ing around in the storm. The Penn sylvania departed last night for Sew ard, by the way of Cordova, and she will depart from here on her way to Seattle, at noon Friday. She brought passengers: Miss Maud Roe, George Finn, Frank Finn, J. Olds and one second class.
