WASTE TIME IN PREPARATION
Too Many Exhaust Themselves In
Getting Ready for Their
Lies Work.

Washington Irving tells a story
of a man who tried to jump over a
hill. He went back so far to get his
start for the great leap, and ran so
hard, that he was completely ex-
hausted when he came to the hill,
and had to lie down and rest. Then
he got up and walked over the hill.
A great many people exhaust
themselves getting ready to do their
work. They are always preparing.
They spend their lives getting ready
TO do something which they never
do.
1t is an excellent thing to keep
improving oneself, to keep growing;
but there must be a time to begin
the work of life. | know a man who
is almost forty years old, who has
not yet decided what he is going to
do. He has graduated from college,
and taken a number of post-gradu-
ate courses-but all along general
lines. He has not yet begun to
specialize. This man fully believes
ne is going to do great things yet. |
hope he may.-Success Magazine.

HAD RIGHT TO BE ANNOYED
Most People VIII Admit That French
Husband Had Received Some
P~rovocatlon.

Francis Lamure, one Of the heads
Of the French postal service, was
treated to a surprise when he spoke
harshly to his wife. He reminded
her that he was the senior member
of the family and she snapped her
fingers at him and said: CHATS all
nonsense. / I'm not your wife. |
have divorced you" Lamure thought
it was a poor jest, but he soon found
otherwise. While he had been away
on postal inspection duty his wife
had divorced him. The day he left
his home his wife applied for a di-
vorce. When a bailiff called in the
house to serve a writ she said her
husband had disappeared. He re-
turned at the end of three weeks.
Papers came for him in his absence.
but the wife sent them back marked
"Gone away; deserted. wife" He
went OF another trip and an absolute
divorce decree was granted. Then
when his wife informed him of what
she had done it was too late for him
to enter in appearance, the legal
limit having expired. Lamure be-
came so enraged that he knocked her
down. She fell against a chair and
her arm was broken. He was arrest
ed for assault and sentenced to six
months. Then his friends took up
his case, with the result that the
court suspended sentence on the
ground of unusually ag~gravating
circumstances"

NINE. EAMEs AND THE TAXI.

Emma Eames, in Paris; has been
telling a reporter about herself.
When she was asked whether she re-
GREETED quitting the stage she said
she eve regretted anything.
"When 1 go out" she explained,
81 have to decide whether I will take
an auto or a taxicab. If / take a
taxicab / forget the auto"
Other people have this same fac
ulty of forgetting everything else
when they take taxicabs. They are
kept so busy thinking of the record
the taximeter is making that they
have no time to think of other
things.
So there is forced upon us the
conclusion hat Nine. Eames is
merely human after all.

REFUSED KISS; TOOK BITE.

Refusing her steady company, An
tonic Dorando of Nicetown, Pa, a
kiss when he came to pay his weekly
visit, Rosie Punceno, 80 years old,
of Philadelphia, Pa, a prepossessing
Italian girl, for refusing the boon, is
now in the Samaritan hospital with
a portion of her right cheek badly
bitten and Dorando is wanted by the
police on the charge of mayhem.
"Dorando loved me dearly for
over a year." Miss Rosie stated last
night, "but l always told him no
man should kiss me but a husband.
He came to my home on Thursday
and was very ardent in his caresses
and wanted a kiss. When / pushed
him away he gathered me in his
arms and against my will showered
kisses all over my face. When |
struck him in the face it made him
angry. Then he bit me and ran
from the house. A nice lover to
marry. No, indeed"

girl, placed several stitches in the
wound to prevent disfguring Of her

thinner he complained when he

after looking at it in all the mirrors
in her fiat. "Don't make any differ

getting larger. I've tried every
thing, rubbing it with kerosene,
with hair tonics; can't do a thing

bald spot to keen YOU humiliated
there'd be no associating with you.' :

FIGHTING FEvERs.
Why Vigorous Measures Are Necss.
sary In Cases Of Sunstroks.


A clinical thermometer is proba-
bly, as matter of course household
convenience i'll most families as is a
stepladder or broom, and it is
well that its use and the general sig
nificance of its disclosures should
be understood by those in authority,
but fussiness and constant resort to
it and continual discussion of tenn
peratures are to be deplored.
The old fashioned way Of placing
the hand upon the child's body and
announcing that it felt feyerish
or had fever without any re-
gard to mathematical accuracy as
to degrees and fractions worked
just as well as, perhaps better than,
the new fashioned way carried to a
nervous extreme. At the same time
rise of temperature always means
something, and it most decidedly
means the calling in of physician
if it does not 60 down of itself or
!! yield to simple remedies.
When the temperature is taken
by the mouth the thermometer
should register about 9s.7 de-
grees, although this may vary at
different times during the day in
perfectly well people. When it reg
listers SO degrees or 99.5 degrees
the person is said to be feverish.
Anything below 50 degrees is sub
normal, and anything over 1O5 de-
grees is called hyperpyrexia, or high
fever.
In many cases fevers are sort OF
! blessing in disguise. These are the
fevers caused by the toxins of bac-
terra, of which typhoid is type.
The whole system is then engaged
in fight against the germs, and the
battle is wagcd to more advantage
apparently when "the blood is fight
ing hot This is why, although the
fever can be beaten down by the ap-
plication of cold and the admins
/ tration Of drugs, it is often poor
practice to suppress it in this way
| Getting the fever down may be a
momentary satisfaction, but it does
nothing to help cure the underlying
cause. 1t is as if general should
insist upon silencing his own guns.
At the same time the fever must
be watched and kept in check, be-
cause this sort Of fight is calling fo1
an immense outlay from the system
and a raging fever not only burns
up bacteria, but it feeds upon tissue
and blood and all it can find, as any
one can testify who has watched OF
lived through convalescence from
one.
What is true Of the fever of q
germ disease is false altogether in
the fever of sunstroke. In this
case the fever is the disease. It il
not a regiment Of infantry, but q
conAagration, and it must be put
out as quickly as possible and by al
the means at ones disposal-cold
baths, ice packs, ice water, anything
that will beat it down.
The character of a fever is a great
assistance to diagnosis in many
cases, and this is why physician
should always be asked to sit ir
judgment on it.-Youth's Compan
