Tragic Fate Long Pursues Family

a sailor of Salem, Mass, and went
down with his ship when Miss Cum
ming was young girl. Her father
was blown to death in boiler. ex-
plosion in Salem. He was merchant
and simply happened along when the
boiler let loose. Only parts of his
body were recovered. One sister was
breaking wood over her knee when
she fractured her kneecap. The leg
was amputated but gangrene caused
her death. Another was killed by a
SNOWFALL in which stone was i'm
bedded and third was caught while
packing trunk. The lid crushed her
head.
The unhappy fate of the family
seemed to descend to the branches, for
one Of Miss Cummings nephews was
lost in the San Francisco earthquake
in one of the collapsed buildings which
took fire. A brother of this lad, En-
sign Matthews, had persisted on the
Maine in Havana harbor. These trag-
edies so preyed on the mind of the
mother, Miss Cummings sister, that
she became violently insane and is
now in a Massachusetts asylum. Now
the last near relative of Miss Cum
ming is in hospital, and it is impossi-
BILE to say whether she will escape
the family fate or not.

Sir Arthur Mitchell, K. c. B., of

Remedy for Choking.

Raising the left arm as high as
you can will relieve choking much
more rapidly than the act Of thump-
ing ones back" said a physician,
"and it is well that every one should
know it, for often a person gets
choked while eating where there is
no one near to rthumps him. Very
frequently at meals and when they
are at play, children get choked
while eating, and the customary
manner of relieving them is to slap
them sharply on the back. The
effect of this is to set the obstrue-
ton free. The same thing can be
brought about by raising the left
hand of the child as high as possi-
BILE, and the relief, comes much more
quickly. In happenings of this kind
there should be no alarm, for if the
child sees that older persons or par
ents get excited the effect is bad The
best thing is to tell the child to raise
it's left arm, and Immediately the
difficulty passes away" U.s.

A virtue carried to excess may be-

themselves that her. opinions, are not

wrote fiction. After her conversion
she was asked to contribute story

DRINKING HABITS OF WOMEN
Perturbed Physical Conditions Given
as Main Causes-lts Results
i-."'s'-7-aras. Are Dreadful. ,...-

Inebriety from fondness for alco-
hol for it's own sake-vicious indul-
gence-is far less frequent in women
than in men, and 1t is we'll that it is
so. Drunkenness is bad enough in a
man, but in woman it is even more
pitiable, and, If it be possible, more
far-reaching and more dreadful in its
results. With women it would, we
think, be safe to say that the origin
of the drink habit lies in perturbed
physical conditions--in fact, that 1t is
disease, and not. a mere moral obli-
guilty, as many would have us believe
The consequences of alcoholism in wo-
men are not so quickly evident as in
men. In the earlier stages of In
ebriety in those cases In which there
is power Of volition, a peculiar shrink
ing from publicity protects some wo-
men against the symptoms 's noted
among men at a. like period. Two
causes may be given for the lapse of
women into inebriety. First is the
nervous condition due to lack of nu-
triton and the wear and worry of do
nestle life and the demands of, So
ciety-an exhaustion for which relief
is mistakenly sought in the transient
aid of alcohol; secondly, the pain and
unrest incident to disorders Of their
sex, for which solace is sought IN the
anaesthetic and paralyzing effects of
alcohol In the first place, the woman
who flies to drink must be unaware or
unmindful of the fact that its taking
involves a great risk Of creating a.,
morbid condition that often, finds ex-
preston in constant fhebriety. In the
second case, the so-called solace, with
startling and sorrowful frequency
ends in confirmed coholism.-Health

The fruit growers of Michigan and
California have been very successful
in cooperative marketing. The condi-
tons which led up to this were much
the same as those in the grain belt be-
fore cooperation came to the rescue.
In the I've stock industry co-opera-
ton is comparatively new thing, but
already it is accomplishing results.
Two years ago the -woolgrowers of
Wyoming formed a cooperative wool
storage company. Large warehouses
were built to hold the product, and
instead of all being dumped on the
market at once it was sold gradually,
and the usual break in the market
was avoided. BY this means more
than a million dollars was saved to

as has been the case at times IN the
tobacco and cotton districts of the
south But this is not true co-opera-
ton. 1t is monopoly, and it is better
that it should fail. True cooperation
seeks rather to increase production
than to limit it. 1t makes it's profits
by cutting down the expense of mar
keting rather than by raising prices
above their normal level. Natural
conditions of supply and demand, if
not interfered with by trusts and COM

regulate prices so that they will be
