CAR SICKNESS.
How 1t Differs from Seasickuess.
travelling With Ewes Closed.

Car sickness is a very disagreeabls
affection. something akin 10 seasicknoss
and yet different from it in several
particulars.
IN seasickness it Is rare TO find the
very old or the very young affected.
If children are seasick they are very
quickly over il, and running about at
play as usual, but a baby will some
times suffer from car sickness in its
baby carriage, and the very old are
not immune.
The symptoms of the two disorders
are very much alike. They consist -
pallor, quick pulse, clammy skin, gid-
diness, nausea and vomiting. Women
are more subject TO car sickness than
men. and this is equally true of sea-
sickness, and one strange feature OF
Car sickness that has been noted by
physicians is that it is frequently
handed down through the women of a
family from generation to generation.
If an individual is immune all
through childhood and early life but
develops car sickness as an adul the
fault will probably be found to rest
with the eyes, n the way to avoid
it is to travel with the eyes closed, or
better still, to start with properly
fitted glasses. 1t is easy to understand
why this should be SO. When the eyes
need glasses the whole nervous equili-
brium of the body suffers, even under
he best conditions, and when to this
struggle is added the vibration of the
cars and the temptation to watch pass
Ing scenery through the windows the.
struggle turns into active revolt OF the
whole system against imposition.
The proof that a sickness and sea-
sickness are not quite the same thing
Is fond in the fact that a person may
be a good sailor and yet suffer dread
fully with car sickness. and vice versa,
while it's occurrence in babies would
GO to show that the sense impressions.
thai is to say, the impressions gained
by the ear, the eye or the nose, are
not at the root of this disorder, be-
cause in very tiny babies the sense i'm
pressions are ~undeyeloped or at the
best very feebly developed.
As a further proof of this car sick
ness often comes on during sleep, and
when this occurs the eyes. of course,
are not the cause in that particular
Gaze.
The symptoms of car sickness may
be of a most appalling violence. the
state Of collapse being 50 extreme that
death is often feared. 1t is comforting
TO know that this fear is unfounded
and Il IA although people may be
dreadfully i'll they rarely If ever sue

SOMETHING ABOUT
WALKING STICKS,
Where They Come from and How
They Are Made.

The most costly walking sticks come
from the Malay Archipelago. the most
highly priced by connoisseurs being the
Malacca cane The name of this stick
is a misleading one, since most of the
best specimens come not from Malaccas
but from the neighboring Island OF
Sumatra, and it is not a cane at all, but
a species of palm.
The manufacture of Malacca canes lis
q fiourishing native industry. for all
though the demand for them in Amer
lea and Europe is not as great as 1t
was twenty. years ago, the prices OBJ
tanned for exceptionally good spect-
mems are much higher. The stickssare
grown irr-glass tubes. to insure perfect
straightness. and care has to be taken
that every portion obtains as much
sunlight as possible. Their value to
connoisseurs depends mainly upon their
thickness and color-in other words,
upon the number of years through
which their growth has been nursed,
a good Malacea cahe should be a
yard long. It's diameter should be not
less than an inch at the upper end,
tapering to rather more thai three
quarters of an incl at the fcrrule. II
should be perfectly straight and
smooth. and of a very dark chocolate
color. slightly notified A dark stick
is worth twice as much as Il light one,
other qualities being equally good.
Such a stick is too costly for every
day use. The lacquer, which gives 1t
its beautiful gloss and tho preparation
of which is a native secret. Is lable TO
be Clipped against the bricks and NOR
tar of civilization. The proud pos
SCISSOR of a really fine Malacca cane
should reserve it's use for ceremonial
occasions.
Fol practical purposes the value of a
walking stick depends upon its fitness
to the owners sense of touch. Every
man has his own ideas of the form of
handle that is ~pleasantest to balance.
And old stick. moreover. often pos
sesses for the owner a sentimental in
terest which largely exceeds its in
trinsic valIe. 1t may have shared adj
ventures which are landmarks in a
life history.
But perhaps the stick which it's owner
is best entitled TO be proud of is one
which he has himself cut and made.
A handle TO a straight stick may be
made by boiling the portion to be bent
from ten TO fifteen minutes in a sauce
pan. Thea bending it round a circular
piece of wood to give the required
curve. and tying it firmly in that posi-
ton
The bending should be done gradual
ly. or there will be danger of breaking
those hbers of the wood on which the
strain is greatest and of injurlng the
bark
The tie should be allowed to remain
for some weeks, till the wood has be-
come perfectly dry. when the string
and superfluous part of the stick may
be cut away.
Oak plants, when used for walking
sticks. should have the bark removed.

of Athens, Pa, who have made a speciality
of bedroom furniture, have been known
in the trade as producers OF the very best

in the manufacture of bedroom furniture,
and much Of this had been cut up ready

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Senator Aldrich with more frank
ness perhaps than is characteristic an
nounced his belief, when the corpor-
alton tax proposition came up in the
Senate, that it would be repealed with
in two years. He explained that in
yield ample revenue after that time,
and that the continuation of the cor
poration tax would prove prejudicial
to the protective system. In the esti-
nation of many able judges, including
no less capable a statesman than Presi-
dent Taft, the Senator from Rhode Is
land is wholly mistaken in his pre-
diction. 1t is the belief of Mr.. Taft
and Of number of able judges in both
houses of Congress that once the cor
poration tax is craven upon the sta
tutcs il will remain there, that the
force of public opinion will be too
strong ever TO permit Of its repeal
As to whether or not it VIII prove a
menace to the protective system is n
question determined by each mans
conception of that system, To men of
the old school of Republicanism, like
Aldrich, Hale and host of others, it
certainly will, for from their stand
point anything which must tend to
the lowering of the protective duties
constitutes menace TO protection.
To men of the more modern school OF
Republicanism, like Taft and many
members of his cabinet, the salvation
of the protective system rests on the
gradual lowering of the duties. They
argue that the continued maintenance
OF the existing high rates must newt
ably result in turning the great volume
