Mud Prevented suicide.

Th~ree-quarters Of an hour spent in
an attempt to commit suicide by
drowning in a muddy pond Is a pro
longed effort, and It Ia not astonish'
ing that an old man who tried It al
Rambouillet. France. the other day
should have to be taken to the hos
pitai In consequence. Without pay,
ing attention to a party Of young PEG
pie who were having a picnic on the
grass the old man walked into the
pond near the park. and was soon VI
to his neck. There is almost as much
mud as water In the spot where he
went In. and he was unable to sink
The persons who had been looking on
realized finally what he was about
and called a park keeper, who waded
In after the old mar But the would
be suicide had by this time got to the
middle Of the pond. where he re
manned for nearly three-Quarters of an
hour with his head barely out OF wa,
ter, when he was at last rescued and
taken to hospital.

HInts on Home Nursina.

When pouring medicine from a bot
tie read the label first, then pour from
the side of the bottle opposite the la
bel. This will keep 1t from being blot
ted by drops running down the side
of the bottle.
Always shake a bottle before using,
so that II there be a combination the
solution will be well mixed.
Replace the cork Immediately after
using.
A slight sore throat Is often caused
from indigestion and will 500 disap-
pear after a good dose of medicine.
Indigestion is often a cause for in
somnia, especially In children.
A cold wet cloth applied at the base
Of the brain, and covered so that 1t
will retain its moisture, Is a great re-
lief when the brain is over tired and
unable to stop working.
One of the best precautions against
taking cold is the plentiful use Of cold
water both inside and out. A plunge
every morning or at least a sponging
of the throat and chest with a good
rubbing will brace up the system.
Damp skirts and wet shoes should
be changed Immediately, and a vigor-
GUS rubbing of the feet before putting
on dry stockings. An ounce of pre-
caution In the care of the first symp-
tom Of a cold has been the saving
grace.
A body well cared for, properly fed,
bounding with spirits and health is an
asset no one would exchange for the
wealth of the Indies, and It should be
a heritage Of us all. There is nothing
J which we will MOI sacrifice for health.

Many like to clean the kitchen cab
