A DEFENSE OF WORRY.

Nobody Advances Much, It Is Ar. Eued, Who k Always Tranquil.
 The turtle never worries. He lives it is said, in some parts of the earth for 1000 years, or very nearly that long, and maybe longer. In fact, no body cares very much just how long a turtle does live. Living 1000 years may be good thing for the turtle His only discovered purpose is to con tinue to exist. But animals that worry live more in a minute than the turtle does in his 1000 years.
 We hear lot these days about Don't worry clubs" and it is an ex- tensive fad to hang up don't worry .mottoe. All roti says the Memphis News-Scimitar
 Worry kills, they say. If it does, it is simply because it stimulates the qualities which are life, and in the de gree that there is stimulation there is wearing out, which is death. But what man would want to live the life of a turtle?
 If there be any, he has nothing in him that anybody can respect; there is nothing in him that he can respect himself. He could tolerate anything. Federation would be his virtue. YoI could spit on him and he would smile back. You could kick him and he would draw more closely within him. self and say nothing All he wants is to be let live.
 This turtle on two legs is of no more use than one on four. And his shell of complacency is as hard and shuts him in as closely from the nerve-throbbins world as adoes the shell of the turtle.
 The successful man has to worry, and he does. Worry is one of the best forms of expression of mental activity. It is the reflection of dissatisfaction with ones shortcomings or conditions. It is the first incentive to improve ment. It is the first step toward re- solve and effort
 Worrying over trifles is foolish. Worrying other people with our wor- ries is pernicious. You can make life for yourself with the one and for everybody who knows you with the other
 But don't be turtlei
 The man who never worries is noth- ing but an existence, unsatisfactory to himself and disgusting to others. The mother who never worries has had, the chances are, ten or twelve children born to her and has complacently put eight or ten of them in their graves. The graves will probably be nicely kept. but the children underground cannot appreciate that

InoixiIitx of wom.n-

We hear and read much concerning
 Homan's rudeness to man and mans
 ungentlemanly attitude toward wom-
 civility to woman? Is there anything
 to equal 1t? There are, says an ob-
 serving writer, wouId-be ladies, there
 are so-called ladies and there are la
 dies. The first may get into the sec
 ond class, but neither of the two is
 likely to rise to the third. Whether through fault or misfortune an unf1n- ished lady seldom achieves the fin ished state.
 The lack of consideration for the rights of others shown in public by women who pass by courtesy for ladies Is of kind peculiar to itself and members of their own sex are usually the victims. Women who tray el in public conveyances with their children are sometimes almost brutal ly callous. Who has not seen mother sitting angle-wise, with a child for whom she has paid no fare occupy ing another full seat. while tired and package-laden women are ''strap-hang- ing in visible discomfort directly in front of her? Conductors, however eff cient, must not criticise the manners of their passengers too strenuously and few men venture to complain to or. of a woman, therefore the remedy would seem to depend on the victims them selves, if the evil is to be remedied at all.
 One of the guiding rules of would-be ladies who never will be ladies appears to be that of Hast come first served" You will best observe this womanish trait at a ticket window, a bargain counter, or any similar place where individuals are being waited on one at time, and the order of precedence Is not enforced. Go. for example. into any large department store which maintains a trading stamp" booth. Meek and patient women who have been waiting five or ten minutes for 2 turn, see some well-dressed imitation of lady sail airily up, elbow herself to the front, claim her stamps and go on her, way, quite with the air of having done nothing that could call for unfavorable criticism How ever other women may feel about 1t, to a man 1t is both amusing and exas- perating to note the serene impudence with which some Of these dear angels of the fair sex rush in where poor tools of men fear to tread.

Some Don.ts for Wives.

Don't begrudge your husband few hours spent with his men friends You meet friends. Be considerate and give him the same privilege
 Don't bother him with troublesome trifles that happen during the day.
 Don't whine and complain over household difficulties.
 Don't overwork and be tired and cross when he comes home. Your hus- band will see you tired and irritable where he will not be conscious of a few grains of dust which you may have dissipated at the expense of your strength.
 Don't let yourself get old and ugly. Take time to keep yourself young and to cultivate good looks. If you can't be beautiful, try to be interesting. , Don't forget to cultivate your mind Read about what is going on in the great world. so that if he makes a re- mark on current events you will be able to answer him intelligehtly in stead of giving him a blank stare.
 Don't inquire how his business Is unless you are sure from his face that he has something pleasant to tell you.

away where no return was expecteo. It was then mostly food, and with a few dresses. bracelets and similar ar ticles, just as white swells give dinners with favors, souvenirs and birthday or wedding presents. Such giving away the Indians of the whole coast call a cultus potlatch, cultus meaning use less and indicating that no investment has been made or return expected.
 Potlatches of one kind or the other, according to the proprieties of the occasion, are given at christenings, weddings or when neighboring tribes are brought together.

Health and Beauty Hints.

Change of employment gives rest but not sufficient for the needs of the body. The absolute idleness. if 1t may be so called, of sleep is essential to health.
 Nervousness due to hurry and high pressure is one of the most active pro- motors of indigestion. A few minutes relaxation before eating will help to cure this difficulty.
 The wise use of ten minutes every day in active rigorous exercise aimed at enlivening the vital organs rather than at mere muscular development will go far to induce healthy body.
 Spotted veils are hurtful. That Is true of all striped visible clothing, blinds, wall papers, etc. All rapid alternations of light and shade are bad. as when walking by d line of tall railings through whose spaces bril- liant sun Is shining.
 Freedom of bodily activity insures health, since 1t helps to clear away the waste and debris of the physiolog- ical processes. The kidneys can do their work well if plenty of water is taken. Most people drink too little water. A daily average of six glasses is not too much in most cases.

LIGHTS IN STREET CARS.
Explanation of Why They Arc Some.
 times Dim, by an Expert.

Explanation of Why They Arc Some.
 times Dim, by an Expert.
 Who has not noticed when riding on the street cars at night that some times the lamps which light the cars burn very dim for a minute and then seemNto burn very bright? Sometimes they almost go entirely out; then sud denly come on again. To the ordinary traveller all this is very mystifying. but to the electrical engineer it is simplicity itself, the Electric News says.
 If a small hole were drilled in a water pipe just above a faucet, the water. under pressure, would rush out at terrific speed. but if you should mediately drop down so low that the water would all but cease to flow out of the tiny hole This is exactly what happens to the incandescent lamps in a street car when they suddenly grow dim, only it is electricity we are deal. ing with, instead of water To start a loaded street car requires an enor- mOuS dLuOuHI UT eleclTlclIy, the mo- tors fairly eating up the current in order to get the necessary starting power or torque, as it is called. Using such a quantity of electricity relieves the pressure, or voltage, of the system, and of course the lights burn dim until the car is under way.
 Nearly all street car systems operate at $50 volts pressure. The lamps in the car consume current at no volts pressure. and they are connected in groups of five in series across the 550-volt circuit. When the voltage for these lamps drops below no because of the large amount of current going to the motors under the car not enough electricity is being forced through the lamp filament to heat it to incandescence, and of course the light is dim. Opening wide the cur rent conductors to the motors sudden. ly lowers the line pressure, which in turn reduces the pressure to the lamps. Once the car is under way the motors do not require so much current and the pressure returns to the lamps and they continue to give their rated can dle power until the next time the car is started.

Earache-The old Missouri remedy is to cut out the heart of an onion and fill with tobacco then roast. When soft, squeeze out the juice and pour few drops in the ear as hot as can be. Repeat if necessary. We never print a remedy in this column without hay ing tried it on the dog and know it is all right
 Small Pox-To prevent or cure this distressing disease mix sulphate of zinc, one grain; digitalis, one grain, and half a teaspoonful of sugar with two tablespoonfuls of water. When mixed add four ounces of water and take a tablespoonful every hour. This remedy, it is said, will also cure scar let fever Either disease will disap- pear in twelve hours. For a child smaller doses should be given accord ing to age.
 Inhammatory Rheumatism. - This most painful ailment may be over- come by heroic measures. Have druggist put up eighty grains of iodide of potassium, 16O grains of bicarcon- que OA oOOd OAC 0AoAh e-AN OAN half of fluid extract of colchicum root wth water sufficient to make two ounces. The dose is one teaspoonful in water. every three hours, but usu- ally not more than three doses can be taken consecutively because of the cathartic effect and generally no more are necessary until another attack comes on
 Verminized Kids.-At some time or another, just as children get measles, whooping cough and the itch, they will somehow manage to get vermin in the hair Take a cup of coal oil and a soft old cloth. Dip part of the child's hair in the oil and rub the scalp and sop the hair with the oil. Let it remain thus for an hour, then take an old towel and rub the head and hair as dry as possible and comb the hair gently with the fine comb. Do not scratch the scalp in the process. Two or three applications three or four days apart will do the business. The coal oil is considered good for both scalp and hair. Never apply the oil in a room where there is a fire, and keep the child away from both light and fire for several hours.
