Davidson Glacier.

Davidson glacier. in Alaska, which
is really a tongue Of the Muir glacier,
has been assembled by travellers for a
number of years. 1t is a dead glacier,
having a moraine of several miles be-
tween it and the sea- Looking at>it
from a boat, it represents a kaleido-
scopic appearance as the sun shines
upon it. and the surface seems scratch
ed with tiny pin lines, In reality deep
crevices.

A Whistlino Kettle.

A teakettle that whistles cheerily to
let the housewife know that the water
is boiling and that the gas may be
turned down has been introduced il
England and is meeting with favor.
The kettle has no lid through which
the scalding steam mag issue, but is
filed and emptied through the spout,
which is sufficiently large. The abb
sence Of the lid not only prevents
scalding, but keeps any Of the steam
from escaping, which means that the
water will reach the boiling point much
more quickly than In the ordinary ket-
tie. In the spout is stopper which
contains the whistle, and this is the
safety valve of the kettle as well as
the means by which announcement Is
made that the water is boiling.

IF YOU FALL OVERHEARD.

Don't Mind Your Clothes, but Turn on
Your Back and Float.
Mr. Handley advises the swimmer
who falls overheard fully dressed to
first turn on the back and float and
while in that position to remove the
coat and the shoes and then keep on
floating. He points out that swimmer
can float indefinitely, but may easily
tire of swimming and, firing, may be
seized with panic, which will drown
the best of watermen. In floating"
says Mr.. Handley, lone can shout all
one likes to attract the attention and
still retain ones strength. And will
not the chances Of rescue be decided
ly better if one lies comfortably await
ing developments or propelling one
self gently by an easy back stroke than
after using up ones energies in tread
ing water or in making violent efforts
to reach land by swimming?
'Of course this advice is hard to fol-
low, because it is contrary to every

await developments after an unex-

Still, training will accomplish it. AS,
however, 1t is impossible to train the
body In this case, and the mind must
be relied upon to offer the right sug-
gestion at the psychological moment,
one should prepare by mentally re-
hearsing what is to be done In case of
a spill. Just picture to yourself the
contingency of being thrown unexpect-
eddy into the water and school yourself
to turn Immediately on your back in a
! floating position, at least until you
have had an opportunity to recover
from the shock and to size up the stu
alton. Then you can decide comfort
ably on the course to follow.
Don't let panic seize you. Let the
fact be always uppermost in your mind
! that clothes have no tendency to drag
you under water; that they are a help
rather than a hindrance if you only
know how to take advantage of the
assistance they offer Never forget
| that, clothes or no clothes, your body
floats naturally, so that you can stay
above water almost indefinitely If you
will only keep your wits about you,

assistance does not come within a COM

The Reason Why.

A wilfully literal answer is some
times the most impudent kind Of re-
tort. Of such nature was the reply
made by General Early and quoted be-
low from 1.-The Confederate Scrap
Book" a collection of cuttings gather
ed by Mrs. Lizzie Cary Daniels and
published after the civil war
During the march of General Lees
army through northern Virginia to
Maryland General Jackson happened
to notice a number of stragglers in
General Early's division. and that
night he sent him a note:
General - General Jackson desires to
know why he saw SO many of your stray
glers in the rear of your division today.
A. s. PENDLETON.
Old Jubal replied:
Captain-In answer to your note would
state that I think 1t possible that the rea-
son General jackson saw SO many of my
stragglers on the march today Is that he
rode in the rear of my division.
]. A. EARLY.
"Stonewall'' Jackson only smiled
when he read the note and made no
further inquiries.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear. There
is only one way to cure deafness, and that IS
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intlamed condition OF the
mucous lining OF the Eustachlan Tube
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing Will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness Caused by catarrh) that
