KoY Sickness Comes

Most fatal sicknesses have their be- ginnings i'll 9 simple "cold" or in a slight cough.
 Consumption first shows in a cough
 Bronchitis is accompanied by a cough.
 The first stage of La Grippe is Q "co1d.''
 Pneumonia is preceded by cough and violent "cold."
 Croup-that terrible malady of childhood--comes solely as a condi- ton of a 'cold.
 Rheumatism generally follows neg feet after exposure and the eonse- ouent "cold" or cough.
 Kidney Troubles, including Bright's disease and other fatal complications, are often due to "cold" which set ties in that region.
 And there are countless other grave sicknesses which are recognized by the medical profession as having their direct or indirect cause in a neglected "cold" or cough.

Growth Of Sanitation

Scientific sanitation is, of course, a
modern affair. Here, for instance. is
a pen picture of a time so recent as
Shakespeare's age. taken from an old
number OF the North British Review:
THE floors were OF earth. and the
broom was used but little. The gar
bage was thrown about the doors and
windows. where It was allowed TO rot
The earth OF the floor was over
weighted with putrid matter. and
much Of It came into the air OF the
rooms. There was no drainage, baths
we're but seldom taken. clothing was
changed only at long periods. and az
a consequence Of all this the plague
was ever playing havoc with the peo-
pie" In their ignorance and care
lessness the people we're perpetualiy
inviting the diseases which moved
them down like invading armies. 10
may be said that scientific sanitation
Is the creation OF the last half century.

very, on first acquaintance, he
answered. "And, by the way" he
went on, "she bears a very remark
able resemblance to you"
"Does she?" exclaimed Clara, with
animation. "Oh. do take me and in
troduce me to her, Jack! 1t will be
so interesting to meet my double"
To this request Jack acceded will
ingly, and the two women became ac-
quainted. Clara acknowledged to
herself that there was a striking
likeness, but she could not help see
ing that Miss Oxford had the advan-
tage of being younger and fresher
She was very lively girl, and Clara
thought that she flirted decidedly too
much, but the objection was not so
much on her husbands account as on
general principles of feminine pro-
priety.
On the way home Jack spoke very
enthusiastically about Miss oxford
and, of course, Clara, to please him,
chimed in. He remarked casually
that ne had promised 10 drop in to
tea one afternoon at the house OF
that lady's parents.
"Isn't 1t rather odd not 10 invite
me, too?" suggested his wife, timidly.
"Oh, no. You see she couldn't
very we'll do that under the circum-
stances" returned Jack in an airy
tone. "But I dare say Miss oxford
will call upon you when ! have been
there
And the matter was dropped.
A few days later Jack did not ar
rive home until dinner time, and dur
ing the operation of having his boots
unlaced he talked enthusiastically
about Miss oxford, on whom he had
just been calling.
"she is a lovely girl" he said fin
tones Of the warmest admiration.
g. Just what you were like five years
ago
It was tactless speech. and Clara s.
fingers trembled as she struggled to
unravel a tight knot.

the pain he was lnnicting. and too

Clearing a Canyon of Glaciers

Climbing by a dangerous route up
the iceclad cliffs of Ogden Canyon,
where the great avalanche wrought
such havoc a week ago, two expert
dynamiters after carefully drilling
holes into the thickest masses of the
glacier succeeded in loosening from
the mountainside a large portion OF
the ice this afternoon. Owing to the
difficulties and dangers attached to
the work a second blast could not be
set to-day, and large masses OF ice
and snow still cling to the rocks and
make traffic through the canyon a
constant peril.

do the work of blasting after fruit

Jack was careful not to repeat the

about the great resemblance of Miss

and lifted her face up by the chin.
She was flushed, and tears were glls-

what are you crying about?" he
asked.
Clara burst into tears-partly be-
cause Of her own overweight feel

effect of making him angry and i'm

CHINA,s AWAKENING.
How the Celestials Are Progressing
In the Modern Arts.

Nothing shows more clearly the
fact that China is waking from her
long sleep than the rapid Introduction
OF industries and mechanical employ
ments. on the European plan. INTO
that country. A contributor to Cos
mos (Paris, October 81 assures Us
that this introduction is taking place
much more quickly and thoroughly
than most Occidentals imagine. AL
though the European colonies have
. been instrumental In the matter, the
native Chinese eagerly adopt and use
the Western devices. Says the paper
named above:
European Industries have begun
to be introduced into China, and
their progress is now becoming more
and more rapid. At Canton in par
ticular we find a series of factories
whose presence greatly astonishss
those who think OF China as still
fixed In the past. Here we find Q
cement factory, the property of the
Government, but directed by Chinese
under the guidance of German ensf-
neers; no less than 500 barrels OF
cement daily are turned out. Canton
also has water works run entirely
by Chinese, which furnishes daily
more than 100000 gallons of water
to 100000 subscribers. This lat
ter figure shows clearly that the Chin
csc are quick to understand the adj
vantages of perfected processes, and
notably of the house-to-house distri-
button OF water, when they have the
wherewithal to nav for II
We find also at Canton, besides
the arsenal, a smokeless powder fac
tory, as well as the provincial mint:
there is also paper mill and Gig
arctic factory. not to mention the
railway shops and various
shops for the construction and repair
OF vessels.
But what is perhaps the most
curious thing to find In this very
Chinese city, where, in spite OF the
foreign quarter, the natives form a
large portion of the clientele Of all
these industries, is an electric plant,
Installed on the most modern plan.
This station was erected by the Ohm
csc Light & Power Company. WHOSE
headquarters is at Hongkong. 1t
stands in the district called Ng Sin
Moon, which means Southern Gate.
The necessary motive force is fur
nished in the first place by three
Diesel motors, using crude petroleum
and giving together 600 horsepower.
There are also five steam engines
yielding 730 horsepower. The steam
Is produced by four Babcock & Will
COX water tube boilers, burning jap
anese coal and furnished with
Green economiZer. Condensers of a
good type assure excellent working
and the forced-draft system is used.
"All the workmen in this station.
to the number of 121, are Chinese.
The current, which is alternating, is
conveyed away at a tension of 1000
volts. The conductors are aerial and
held up by iron or wooden posts. Be-
fore reaching the consumer it is low
cred to the more modest tension OF
only 100 volts. The subscribers are
divided between the foreign conces-
sion Of Shameen and the Chinese
town of Canton proper, but they are
more numerous in the Chinese city.
According to figures in our possession
and which date back to the beginning
of 1909 there are more than 264O."
