A boy, for instance, IS little weak
after a mild attack of infectious fever
pneumonia, influenza or tonsilitis, and
his heart is beating faster and more
violently than 1t should on exertion.
But the team wants him or he wants a
record, or both, and away he goes into
training.
Suddenly one day the heart can no
longer drive on its overload of blood
and down goes the runner or oarsman
in an attack of heart failure" and ath-
letics get all the discredit
The same danger lies when there is
no training, the sport being purely in
formal. 1t lies also where the girl just
convalescent persists in taking part in
a long anticipated dance. Only that
phase of common sense which is mani
tested in common prudence Is neces-
sary to avoid such perils.

instances Of the sort Of personal touch
with which lightning seems to select
its victim, for, though one child is re
ported to have been thrown down, nei-
Their apparently was injured. There
are many instances, of course, Of this
strange selection, due in most cases
probably to some accident Of clothing.
There is well remembered case which
happened some years ago at Cam
bridge, when three young men were
walking across an open space of
ground, and the middle one of the
three was struck dead, while the 9TH
ers were untouched. The inquest
showed that the young man who was
killed had nails in his boots, whereas
the others were wearing boating shoes

rows Their Chief Weapons.
Our knowledge Of the pygmies of
New Guinea shows that in habit they
are nomadic, newhere filling the
ground, but depending for their living
entirely on their skill in hunting and
fishing. Their chief weapon is the
bow, their arrows being generally
poisoned either with the famous upas
OF some other similar vegetable poison,
In some cases species of strychnine.
They also make use of the spear and
an ingenious form of spring gun
which Is common to numerous other
forest tribes. This is formed by set
ting flattened bamboo spear attached
to bent sapling, which is fastened to
trigger In such a way that it is re-
: leased by the passerby stumbling
against an invisible string stretched
across game track. These spears are
really set for game, and to the initi-
ated they are obvious enough, as their
presence is always indicated by GER
tain well known signs, such as a
broken off twig placed in a cleft stick.
In war these signs are removed, the
removal being equivalent to the NOV
ing of buoys in a mined channel. The
wounds inflicted by these hardened
bamboo spears are necessarily serious.
The mental qualities Of the Negritos
are extremely undeveloped, none of
them being able to express a higher
numerical idea than three, but all OBJ
servers who have met them unite in
saying that they are merry little peo-
pie, with great ideas of hospitality
when their confidence has been gained
and provided they have not been pre-
viously Ill treated. They are not can
nibals and are generally homogeneous.

Then dust carefully with fine whisk,

Where black goods are much spotted
they can be cleaned with common

kitchen. Sponge well with a thick

When mud stains remain on black

The disease is catching" 1t infects

sian imperial magazine, In place of tin
uniform buttons. little heaps of powder
were found. A consignment Of Banka
tin sent from Rotterdam to Moscow
In 1877 arrived at the latter place in
the form of powder. This alteration Is
due to a change In the internal crys-
talline structure Of the metal and is
analogous to the slow transformation

SPECIAL HINTS ON FEEDING

Hens have their favorite grains.
When fed mixed they sometimes
pick up their choice and leave the rest
to be trampled or for rats and spar
rows.
1t is thus better in such case to feed
one variety of grain at a time
1t never pays to buy or feed any
thing but the best. There is no waste,
no injury to hen health and the hens
do their best for the best. Quality
and quantity Of eggs are mainly de-
pendent on quality of feed and feed

While undertaking is bad, overfeed-
ing is positively detrimental and

Here is a recipe for coffee that never
fails: Use a tablespoonful of coffee for
each cupful desired and one spoonful
for the pot. Mix with small quantity
of cold water and bring to a boil. A
little white of an egg mixed with the
coffee and cold water or well washed
eggshells added will help to make the
coffee clear, but egg is not essential to
good coffee. After the coffee has boil
ed for a few minutes add the quantity
of boiling water desired. Let it sit for
one minute, pour a little cold water
into the pot, and the coffee is ready to
serve. Mix rream and sugar In cup
and pour the coffee into it. Always
serve coffee and tea very hot.
