The normal temperature OF the human
body is about ninety-eight and Six-tenths
degrees, a temperature which the internal
forces OF the body are able 10 maintain at
a constant figure almost entirely without
regard to the temperature ofthe surround
ing atmosphere. Any elevation OF the
body temperature above ninety-eight and
six -tenths degrees or ninety mine degrees
is called fever, and is an indication OF
something wrong. So also is fall OF the
temperature below the normal point; but
this is rarer condition than fever, and is
due usually TO special causes which il is
not necessary TO consider here.
Since fever is the most evident symp-
tom OF a number OF different diseases, and
the one that gives character, as il were,
to many acute infectious diseases, II has
come to be synonymous with disease IT.
self. and il is common TO speak OF some
one being sick OF a fever. But fever IS
so far from being disease that il is often
the curative and life saving condition.
Many infections, such as pneumonia
and typhoid fever, would be more often
fatal il il were not for the high body tenn
perature that characterizes them. In
pneumonia, for example, ithas been noted
that the higher the temperature under
certain limits. OF course, the more fav-
orabIe is the course OF the disease. II is
therefore not wise thing to give reme-
dies TO reduce fever unless the elevation
OF temperature has continued very long
time or is so high-over one hundred and
four degrees-as to threaten in itself the
normal performance OF the vital functions.
Sometimes, of course, the fever may
get out of control, and from being mimi
cal only TO the germs of the disease, act
ualIy endanger the life OF the patient. In
such case treatment TO reduce the temp
erature is called for.
This is best done by means OF cool wa
ter in the form OF a tub bath. The patient
should be put into a bath at eighty degrees
or ninety degrees, the water being then
gradually reduced to about seventy de-
grees or he may be wrapped in sheet
wet with cold water or sponged with cold
water.
Water is a safer and better fever rene
dy than the so-called antipyretic drugs,
the use of which is bad for the already
weakened heart.
This cool-water treatment should al
ways be supplemented by the freest pos
sible use OF fresh air, even in very cold
weather The old-fashioned belief that a
person with fever is going to take cold'
easily has no foundation whatever.

Ii Saves The Bows.

The best argument have found in
Maine was by an editor of paper in
Portland, that was for political reasons
mildly opposed to it. | had a conversa-
ton with him that ran something like this:
"Where were you born ?"
"In a little village about sixty miles
from Bangor"
"Do you remember the condition Of
things in your village prior to prohibi-
ton ?"
"Distinctly. There was vast amount
of drunkenness and consequent disorder
and poverty"
"What was the effect of prohibition ?"
at shut up all the rum-shops and prac-
tically banished liquor from the village.
1t became one ofthe most quiet and pros
porous places on the globe"
Chow long did you live in the village
after prohibition 2"
eleven years, or until was twenty
one years OF age. "Then went to Ban
gor"
"Do you drink now ?"
81 have never tasted drop OF liquor
in my life"
"Why ?"
"Up to the age OF twenty-one, ! never
saw il. and after that ! did not care TO take
on the habit"
That is all there is in it. II the boys OF
the country are not exposed to the infer
nalism, the men are very sure not to be.
This man and his schoolmates were saved
from ruin by the fact that they could not get
it until they were old enough to know
better. Few men are drunkardS who
know not the poision until after they are
twenty-one. 1t is the youth the whiskey
and beer men want.

The Safe Course.

Mrs. Wilson'S husband was often
obliged to travel on business, and ire
quently did not reach home TIL after mid
night. His wife had been in the habit OF
sleeping peacefully at these times, says a
writer in the Spokesman-Re Review, but a
number Of burglaries in the neighborhood
during one Of her husbands trips had dis
turbed her calm.
On one night Of his return Mr.. Wilson
was slowly and carefully stealing up the
front stairs, so that his wife would not be
awakened, when he heard her voice high
and strained:
al don't know whether you are my
husband or burglar" came the excited
tones, "but am going to be on the safe
side and shoot, so if you are Henry you
had better get out of the way !"

The Migratory Sense.

The migration OF birds, unlike the mi
grafton of human beings, is very myS-
teriouS thing. Flying, as most OF the
song-birds do, by night, coming and 60
ing in great flocks, and changing their
locality for no one reason, but for many,
the problem OF these tidal waves" in
bird life is wholly fascinating. Mr.. d.
Lange, in the Atlantic Monthly, in dis
cussing some phases Of il, speaks as fol-
lows concerning the birds sense OF direc-
ton:
How do birds find their way? There
is no doubt that they are often guided by
sight along coasts, lakes, rivers and val
leyS, which are plainly visible for great
distance from the height at which birds
travel.
In other cases, old birds which have
been over the route lead the way, and the
young birds follow their calls and their
leadership.
What wonderful stories these winged
travellers could tell if they could talk to
us What fascinating teachers OF geog-
raphy they would make for our children |!
lthaS however, been shown lately beyond
all reasonable doubt that in addition to
keen sight, acute hearing, individual eX-
perienCe and race instinct, birds possess
what must seem TO lis a kind OF sixth sense
the sense of orientation.
The Hartman Alaska Expedition found
flockS ofmuneS, which are Sea-birdS, fly
ing straight for their home on lonely
island thirty miles away, through fog so
thick that everything a hundred yards of
was absolutely hidden from view. What
human brain could guide a ship thirty
miles through dense fog without a COM
pass?
Still more conclusive demonstration OF
this sense OF direction in birds has recent
ly been furnished by Prof. John b. Wat
son. He caught and marked fifteen sooty
terms and noddies on the Dry TortugaS,
in the Gulf OF Mexico, and took them out
to sea. Some OF the birds were carried
as far as Cape Hatteras, eight hundred
miles north of the Tortugas, before they
were set free.
The sooty terms and the noddies are
southern birds, which seldom range far
ther north than the southern coast OF
Florida, and it is not likely that any Of
those experimental on had ever been
farther north; but none the less, thirteen
out of fifteen found their way back TO the
TonugaS Islands.

Getting Use To The Pace.

"She's been going the pace, and now
must take a rest-cure." This sums up
the experience OF many woman. The
socalled society leader. the philanthro-
pist, the minister's wife, the teacher, the
wife ofan up-to- date farmer, all are caught
in the speed ofthe new century, and their
activities are "geared up to meet the
demand.
The way we travel is symbolic OF the
way we think and work. Just before rail-
roads were introduced into England a
certain Mr.. Creevy wrote diary. He
was popular gentleman, and was always
dashing about England on business and
pleasure. He once achieved the breath
less haste OF a hundred and sixty miles in
twenty-one hours-eight miles an hour
for day and night. Our express trains
travel nearly seven times as fast as Mr..
Creevy travelled, and a motor-car with a
clear track and a free head may touch
eighty miles an hour What the flying
machine may compass no one can yet
know, but their devoteeS propheSy two
hundred miles an hour and that would
make possible the journey from New York
to London in the time the excellent Mr.
Creevey took to coach his hundred and
sixty miles.
Yet only a confirmed pesSimiSt fails to
see great human advantage in this mod
ern development OF speed. In fact, there
is less human arand tear than in travel
ing sixty miles in an old-faShioned stage
coach. When we are driven to the "TeSt-
cure, "the fault is not so much in our pace
as in ourselves. We are not yet fairly ac-
clmated to this breezy century, and must
take its stimulating ozone with the breath
OF caution.
But we must and shall learn to adjust
ourselves to the speed Of our time, and
with increasing self-control will come in
creasing happiness. We talk reminis-
Gently of the content OF earlier days. but
a careful comparison OF our own time
with the past century will convince the
student that men and women are happier
in exact proportion to the enlarge ement OF
their knowledge and their powers.
