icing ill to distract her thoughts from
herself, no doubt she would be we'll.
Her homework does not sufficiently
absorb her to do this. She wants some
interest that will take hold of her COM
pletely
The husband of one woman who was
suffering from nerves moved out into
the country and started to raise chick
ems. He did not give up his work in
the city, but he automatically got his
wife to do this and that about the
chickens for him while he was away.
Soon she became interested in them. He
added gradually to her duties, and In
little while she had prosperous chick
en- farm and was a sound, healthy
woman.
If this man would find out the work
his wife likes best to do, and then plan
so she could do it, it might work cure.
Let her take position in an office, or a
store, at dressmaking, at anything
whatever it might be that would ABSORB
her. Lack of an interest in life is really
at the root of her nerves. She sits idle
most of the time and thinks about her
self This would drive almost anyone
to an asylum. She doesn't care much
for reading She doesn't like house
work. But there is one thing undoubt-
edly which she does enjoy doing. If the
husband will find this out and set her
at it he will soon discover that her
nerves have disappeared.
IT is quite possible, too, that he is too
GOOD to her He shoulders all the bur-
den. He humors her every caprice. II
he would storm about bit, as to the
sort of home she was giving hard

there were other women in the world,

tor Ioolx lively or she might lose him.
and find herself better 1t would seem
a cruel thing for him to do, but 1t Is
case where she needs to be jolted out oil
ner self-absorption. She is woman OF
spirit and ability when she is aroused
as was shown in the case of his SICK
mes. But it take big things to arouse
her. This method would probably pc
harder for him than to have case OF
typhoid fever or smallpox for her sake.
Finding something for her to do would
be easier. But it must be no trifiing
thing. A big absorbing work, or big
absorbing anxiety is needed to work
care.

PHYSICIANS NOW AND THEN

The family physician of fifty years
ago loses little by contrast with the
family physician of today in a whim-
steal article which G.. w. e. Russell
wrote for the Manchester Guardian.
Broadly speaking, he said the doctors
of the "ffties" and sixties" were as
Dickens drew them, the doctor who
was called to the bedside of Little
Nell and came with "a great bunch
of seals dangling below a waistcoat
of ribbed black satin," being a most
carefully finished portrait. Such, ex-
actly, were the family physicians of
Mr.. Russell's youth. They always
dressed in shiny black-trousers, neck
cloth and all; as a class they were
bald, and though they shaved their
lips and chins, they wore carefully
trimmed whiskers.
They said "Hah!" and "Hum!" in
tones of omniscience which would have
converted a Christian Scientist and
when feeling a pulse they produced the
largest and most audibly-ticking gold
watches known to the horologist's art.
Thew had what were called 1.-The court
ly manners of the old school," were
diffuse in style, and abounded in
periphrasis. Thus they spoke of "the
gastric organ" where their successors
talk of the stomach, and referred to
brandy, in which they placed whole
hearted faith, as "the domestic slim
ulant."

ANIMAL CRIES NEARLY HUMAN

OF the animal cries that most clearly
produce upon the hearer the effect of
the human voice most are found in the
case of birds. While the parrot is the
best known of birds possessing the
power of initiating the human voice,
as a matter of fact it's voice is decided
ly inferior to that of the nina, a species
of starting.
Strange to say, the male starting
speaks in a high, clear note, like that
of a child, while the females register
discloses a markedly gruff note.
The Australian bird called the laugh
ing jackass utters a peculiar cry, very
much like that of a troop of boys shout
ing, whooping and laughing in chorus.
Another Australian bird, the morepork,
is frequently heard strenuously de-
handing more pork" in stentorian
tones.
The whippoorwill demands his pun
ishment in a distinct imitation of the
human voice, and the command of the
guinea fowl to come back could easily
be mistaken for the tone of the hui
man.-New York Herald.

A WIFE WHO HAS NERVES

A certain hard working husband is
almost distracted over the problem oil
a wife who has nerves." This is an
ailment that certainly is one of the
greatest calamities that can befall
home Poverty, ordinary sickness, dis
grace even, can be borne more nero
ically than an eXasperating case OF
nerves. With most misfortunes there
is hope always that in time relief OF
some kind will come, or at least the
sting blunted. But the burden OF WlIe
with nerves grows heavier with the
years.
This husband works hard from in
the morning until at night, in a
gloomy, unhealthy office. His wages
are none too large He returns home at
night to find a wife in tears, or in bed.
or Just feeling so miserable she doesnt
know what to do. Part of the time
he gets his own meals; part of the
time they get their meals out; part OF
the time a procession OF maids of varl-
Gus kinds and capacities passes through
the house. He never knows from one
day to another just what to expect. TO
be sure, there is no deadly monotony in
his life but this is hardly the kind OF
variety that lends spice
He has spent more than he can al
ford upon doctors, santarluInS, trlpe
upon all sorts of things warranted to
cure nerves. But all to no effect. His
wife is just about where she was years
ago. And the hopeless treadmill for
him goes on. The only time she braced
I'D. took an interest in affairs and
played her part as a wife should was
when he had pneumonia. She looked
after the house then, helped nurse, and
her nerves took a cavation. But 1t is
rather hard on him to go through the
list of all the ills that flesh is heir to
in order to keep her well. While en-
joying a case of typhoid fever for her
benefit he might accidentally die. He
hopes to find some other way to cure
her.
But in this better health of hers dur
ing his illness, does there not lie the
suggestion for her cure? During his
sickness she was carried out of herself.
She forgot to think of her own life. All
her thoughts were for him. Now, if he
could find some pleasanter way than

PERNlclous ANEMIA

Few maladies are more fatal than
pernicious anemia. One authority
rates it's mortality at So per cent Ana
the Individual who has permanently
recovered from this mysterious com
plant is looked upon as sort OF
medical curiosity. About Is per cent.
however, do recover.
Pernicious anemia is condition of
impoverished blood, the red coloring
particles, or "corpuscles," being great
ly reduced in number. Normally one
cubic centimeter-about a thimblefdl-
of blood contains 100000 red corpus
cles. But microscopic count of the
cells of the blood of the victim of this
disease may show the red blood cells
as few as half d million per cubic cen
timeter, though the usual number
found is approximately 100000. but
even those red corpuscles that remain
are mostly swollen and distorted AS
the great oxygen carriers of the blood.
the red cells, or corpuscles, are es-
sential to life
The external symptoms of pernlolous
anemia include pallor, a lemon tint OF
the skin which sometimes leads to Il
IN staken diagnosis of jaundice, gener-
al weakness, and ottentimes snoftnesS
of breath. A true diagnosis can only
be made by microscopic examination
u.
drawn from a patient the blood is paie
of color and oily or consistence
The disease affects men ottener than
women, and adults oftener than call
dren. Most cases develop after the
victim has passed the half century
mark. The green sickness or chlo-
rosis, of young girls is a different form
of anemia, and is cured almost mag
ically by the proper use of iron, ac-
cording to osler.
A curious phase of pernicious ane~
mia is the fact that the sufferer looks
well and usually loses no flesh. The
disease creeps on insidlously. Never
will the writer forget the pale, though
well nourished, figure of a certain not
ed southern educator, who gradually
surrendered to this deadly disorder a
few years ago.
What is the cause of perniciods ane-
mia? Medic al science as yet can make
no answer. Normally the red blood
corpuscles are manufactured in lhe
marrow of bones, and some theorists
hold that the trouble lies in the red
marrow, which failed to elaborate the
right quality of corpuscles in the right
quantity. Other theorists believe that
a toxin, or poison, gets into the blood
and destroys the red corpuscles. SILL
other medical men acknowledge that
they have no plausible theory. Cases
of fatal anemia due to hemorrhage or
to atrophy of the stomach are not to
be contounded with true pernicious or
'idiopathic" anemia.
According to OXford's Regius Pro-
fessor of Mediciane, the treatment
consists of "a several weeks of rest in
bed; (2) as much fresh air as possible;
(3) full nourishing diet, and (4)arsen-
ic. in the form of Fowler's solution
gradually increased. The disease is
prone to recur.

Jefferson CITY Mo-, June 9.-Three
hundred convicts, fightin desperately

followed a cyclone that unroofed
three of the penitentiary buildings,
and damaged two othersf.
"E'' hall, cell building, in which
500 men were confined, was one of
the structures unroofed. "a" hall
also lost its covering and tn ebuild-

dining hall, library and chapel, lost
section of its roof, and portion
of it's upper story.
The fire started in the Sullivan
saddle factory, and threatened to
spread throughout the prison yard.
1t caused damage aggregating $25,-
600. The convicts who fought the
flames behaved admirably. No at
tempts to escape were reported.

Facts About the American Indians
Healthy Hair.
The American Indian accustomed
from time immemorial to go bare
headed in all kinds of weather is
never troubled with falling hair or
boldness.
The close atmosphere caused by
our civilized" head-gear is conduc-
i've to the breeding Of infnitesimal
germs which dig into the scalp and
thrive on the sap of the hair-root
This true cause Of badness is of
recent discovery and explains the
non-success of all hair-vigors which
treated badness as a functional dis
order
Newbro's Herpicide is direct ex-
terminatOr of the germ. ut de-
stroys the cause and permits the
hair to grow as nature intended.
