not use an internal remedy-Hood's

Women Yesterday and Today.

From Appleton's Magazine
 Of course the old-fashioned woman be- gan to get old while still young She had nothing else to do. Human faculties give out just as machines must when not used. The woman who doesn't exercise loses her strength. With loss of strength she loses her beauty. The woman who doesn't fill her mind with new thoughts and in- terests becomes mentally old. When her body is old and her mind is old she is old herself, whether she has lived 90 years or only 40. The public women of the past did not grow old prematurely be- cause they continued to use their faculties.
 The most representative women of to- day don't have time to grow prematurely old While marriage and motherhood are still as they must always be, their chief activities. they are no longer their only activities. They now take active part in very many phases of life outside the TO- mantle and domestic spheres They are no less women for being more individuals. The old generalities about women are less and less applicable because women are less and less like cookies out of the same mold.
 The modern, handsome, athletic girl Is certainly better qualified for bearing children than her weak ancestress whose most violent exercise was playing croquet. The mother today with her civic, phil anthropic, artistic, or literary interests is certainly better equipped for training her children than the oldfashioned housewife who had no interest outside her domestic affairs. The vigorous modern grand mother, who is fast changing the time honored significance of that word, is cer- tainly a much more cheerful and useful member of society than her decrepit coun- terpart of years ago-and she has a bet ter time.

COOKS FINE MEALS
 WITHOUT UTENSILS

London, October 3.-Some remarkable experiments to show that it is not only possible but practicable to cook meat and vegetables without pots pans or utensils of any kind have been carried out at a camp of the Legion of Frontiersmen near Croydon.
 At o'clock in the evening officers and men were served with a meal consisting of duck. pork, potatoes, onions, cabbages and bread In the process of cooking no utensil of any kind was used.
 Roger Pocock, the founder of the legion, who superintended the experiments, in an interview said: Tn many parts of the world cooking is done without utensils and l want to show that this is possible whenever men are on a campaign. Not only does such a method obviate the ne- cessity of carrying a lot of cooking kit. but tha food is much more palatable."
 The meal was prepared in theNfollowing way A large hole was dug in the ground, and at the bottom a number of stones were placed. A wood fire was then made in the hole and after the fire had burnt for about hour the embers were re- moved and a quantity of water poured over the hot stones, on which the joint was placed surrounded by potatoes and onions. The cabbage formed a layer on top of the meat, and over the whole was placed a damp cloth. A sack was stretched across the hole to prevent dirt entering, and the hole was then filled up with earth. The water which had been poured in produced steam, and after the joint had been left for about an hour and a half it was ready to be eaten. It was cooked to perfection, and the potatoes and cabbages were also culinary triumphs.
 Among those who were present and par took of the this extraordinary earth cooked meal were frontiersmen from Yu- kon, Sanada, Zululand and New Zealand.

HERO OF THE FIRST CLASS.
Fireman's Act Rivals the Spectacular
 Rescues In Modern Melodrama.

From the Courier-Journal.
 Fact is more thrilling than melo- drama, sometimes. According to a telegram from Owensboro, Charles May, fireman on the Louisville, Hen derson and St. Louis railroad, rescued a little negro child from death in a manner as spectacular as it was cour- ageous.
 The train was going down grade at high speed when the engineer and fireman saw the child on the track They knew that the reversed engine would not stop soon enough to save the child. The fireman started down the running board and reached the pilot in time to snatch the little negro from the track. In reaching for the youngsters clothing he lost his bal ance and pitched from the engine. By a lucky chance he did not fall in front of the cowcatcher, and he managed to drag the child into the ditch unhurr. This sort of thing done on the stage for the entertainment and inspiration of audiences fond of the strenuous drama is frequently ridiculed, because of it's improbability in real life. Possibly, MT. May may be awarded a Carnegie hero medal AS rule med als recording deeds of heroism in let ters carved in gold are very nice things to have around the house. It is com forting to leave them to posterity as proof that the family boasts an ances- tor who was altogether game, but for his own personal use the genuine hero does not greatly care about medals.
 MT. May, who risked his life In an entirely disinterested effort to save a small black atom of humanity. is good deal more of hero than the man who saves his sweetheart from the lake or a burning hotel or the father or mother who rushes to the rescue or a child. He risked his life unsel1shly- He is. in fact. hero of the first mag nitude, and it is satisfying to know that there are such men in railroad service where pluck sometimes averts catastrophe.
