His Depressor.

He was handsome, young, talent
ed. He had apparently everything
one could wish for as a start in life,
but every time he came into a room
where there were mirrors he absorb
ed himself in contemplation of the
back of his head.
"That spot is getting thinner and
thinner" he complained when he
called on the woman and sat down
after looking at it in all the mirrors
in her fiat. "Don't make any differ
ence what / do with it, it keeps on
getting larger. I've tried every
thing, rubbing it with kerosene,
with hair %tonics; can't do a thing
with it."
OTIS just as WELL" she consoled
him. of you didn't have that little
bald spot to keep you Inundated
there'd be no associating with you"

Cause For THANKSGIVING.

One fine summer night the whole
village was disturbed in its slum-
bers by the deep tones of Nasreddin
giving praise and thanks unto AL
lab. "What hath befallen thee, o
Nasreddin," they inquired, chat at
this hour of the night thou doth
give praise and thanks until AL
mighty Allah?"
"As 1 lay half sleeping on my di-
van," replied the hodja, 81 looked
up and suddenly beheld a white
thing tapping by this window. This
must be a ghost or Jim or some 9th
er evil spirit sent by Sheitan to tor
ment true believers, methought, so
I seized my bow and drove an arrow
through it. I forthwith arose, and,
behold, it was no Jim, but my own
shirt which the arrow had transfix-
ed. Wherefore do We see me CIV
ing just praise.-T. P.'s London

A Case For Sympathy.

Two matrons of a certain western
city, whose respective matrimonial
ventures did not in the first in.
stance prove altogether satisfactory
met at a woman's club one day
when the first matron remarked:
"Hattie, l met your 'ex,' dear old
Tom, the day before yesterday. We
talked much of you"
'Ts that so?" asked the other
matron. "Did he seem sorry when
you told him of my second mar
riage?"
Indeed he did and said SO most
frankly"
sHonest ?"
Honest! He said he was ex-
tremely sorry, though, he added, he
didn't know the man personally

Faint Praise.

A little girl taking her first ocean
trip was awakened from a sound
sleep n morning when the steamer
vas close to a strip of coast where
the mountains tower sheer from the
waters edge to a height of thou
sands of feet, presenting a majestic
aspect not to be equaled in many
other places. The little girls IA
Their, carrying her to the deck,
pointed to the great line of noun
tains and asked her:
"Well, what do you think of
that?" expecting, as was natural,
that she would be quite overwhelm-
ed at the sight.
Instead she just rubbed her sleepy
eyes.
"They look" she muttered dubi-
ously, '1ike hills"
Whereupon she went to sleep
again.-New York Times.

Tho Salt In the Sea.

The saline elements Of ocean wa
ter may be in part derived from
geological formations which con-
sisted largely of like matter, but it
is generally considered that the salt
ness of the e is sufficiently ac-
counted for by the deposition of
soluble salts from the rivers. Salts
Of various kinds form part Of
the constituent ingredients of the
earth's soil everywhere. They are
washed out by springs and rivulets
and carried to the sea by large
streams, and as the evaporation
which feeds the streams carries none
of the dissolved matters back again
the tendency is for the salts to ac-
emulate in the sea. The principal
saline ingredients found in ocean
water are chloride of sodium, or
common salt, and salts of magnesia
and lime.

a Royal Fowl.

In England under an old law still
in force the swan is a royal fowl,
as whales and surgeons are royal
fish. All swans the property where
of is not otherwise defnable when
within the British dominions belong
to the crown by virtue Of this pre-
rogative. When swans are lawfully
taken into the possession of a pri-
vate person such person may be said
to have a property in them. but if
they be at liberty they belong to
the crown. Formerly it was neces.
sary for persons who wished to keep
these "royal fowls" to obtain a
swan mark, which was granted BY
the crown and which could not be
legally impressed without grant or
prescription.

HIS FORETHOUGHT.
4 De OF Zeal That Was Not Apprs.

He was a very busy man, and, like
all of his kind, he hated to waste
time by unnecessary waiting. That
was why in the midst of his CORE
spondence along about II o'clock
the other morning he paused and,
turning to his secretary, requested
him to ring up his residence on the
phone.
"Jemmison," he said, "get my
house on the wire and ask Mrs.
Blank to come to the phone. Just
tell them that / wish to speak to
her."
The secretary made off, and in a
few minutes the required connec-
ton was made.

FIGHTING FEVERS.
Why Vigorous Measures Are Nsess.

w "S bvSSOS
sary In Cases Of Sunstroks.
A clinical thermometer is proba-
bly, as matter of course q household
convenience in most families as is a
stepladder or a 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 feverish
or had a 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
a rise of temperature always means
something, and it most decidedly
means the calling in of a 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 80 degrees or 99.5 degrees
the person is said to be feverish.
Anything below SO degrees is sub
normal, and anything over 105 de-
grees is called hyperpyrexia, or high
fever.
In many cases fevers are a sort of
blessing in disguise. These are the
fevers caused by the toxins of bac-
terra, of which typhoid is a type.
The whole system is then engaged
in a fight against the germs, and the
battle is waged 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 a 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 for
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 or
lived through a convalescence from
one.
What is true of the fever of a
germ disease is false altogether in
the fever Of sunstroke. In this
case the fever is the disease. 1t is
not a regiment of infantry, but a
conflagration, and it must be put
out as quickly as possible and by all
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 a physician
should always be asked to sit in
judgment on it.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

There are q hundred and one places
where milk can be contaminated from
the time it is drawn from the udder
till 1t reaches the table in the form OF
sweet milk, cream or butter. First,
great deal Of bacteria, impurities and
disease germs get into the milk at the
barn or lot in which the COWS are
kept. Second, great many more OF
these owe their existence in milk tG
the attendant and the place in which
the milk is kept. The moment the
COW shows signs Of being i'll, or when
even a slight eruption is noticeable, a
person may contract disease by partak
ing of her milk. Impure water Is an
other way in which milk is contaml
mated If the COW Is compelled tic
drink out of mud hole, filed with
disease germs, she cannot help but
drink large number Of those germs
into her system, some Of them being
sure to reach her milk. Milking the
COW into an open pail when the barn
is filled with dust, and from which
there hangs an untold number OF dirty
cobWebs, or milking her in an offens
lively smelling lot, where the filth is
ankle deep, or milking a cow whose
udder, TANKS and legs are covered with
dirt and f1lth-in such cases it is i'm
possible TO avoid contamination of the
milk. It Is believed that more disease
germs are given the human family
through milk than are given in any
other agency; and we also believe that
less attention Is paid to the care OF
milk than to any other food consumed
upon the table.

Cooling Cream .

Different conditions on the farm
Will govern arrangements for the cool
Ing Of cream. Where windmills are
used, many farms have cheaply con-
structed milk-houses in which can be
placed tank or half barrel, through
which all water is led from the wind
mill to the stockwatering tanks. With
the cream cooled and held in these
tanks the arrangement is everything
required.
Where windmills and milkhouses
are not used. half barrel can be set
near the pump and cheap shade con-
structed. The water can be pumped
by hand with small expenditure of
time and labor The cooling of the
cream will heat the water. Run out
Inc warm water and pump a fresh
supply in which the cream can set
over night Or through the day before
being added to the supply can. When
another lot of warm cream is to be
cooled, the operation can be repeated.
