In ventilating sick chamber 1t is
often desirable and necessary to leave
the window open to secure fresh air
The best way to do this is to tack a
piece OF muslin across the open win
dow by means of thumb tacks. 1t the
air is chilly this will keep the drafts
off the patient and will keep out the
dust and dirt. which might otherwise
be blown in. If the day is hot and
s1ltry-and these days are the hardest
and most trying on a sick person
an ideal way to ventilate purify and
cool the air is to open the window or
windows and stretch piece of muslin
across the opening. then lower the
shades to where the window is opened
and after this has been done thor.
oughly saturate the muslin with cold
water. Then place a large basin or
pail of cold water under or near the

WHEN A zoo HELPS.

The man who is trying to decide
where he wishes to settle; the manu-
facturer who is giving consideration
to the best means of obtaining good
help-these are generally brought to
the deciding point by comparatively
simple steps. There is always the
question of schools and churches, Of
city water, of rent rates, of the cost
of living generally. But perhaps more
insistent than any of these is the
question of recreation-of amusement
says the st. Louis Times. The city
which can offer the greatest variety
Of amusements, with certain inexpen-
sive or free entertainments, is the
city toward which every mans mind
turns. Existence means a place where
one may live. Life means place
where one may find pleasures. The
idea Of a zoo is not complicated
one, and there may be many travel
weary individuals who care nothing
for SO simple form Of entertainment
as collection Of animals. But the
average man, as the experience Of
every large city shows. likes a zoo.

Rather Good to Have Around.

Any kind of woman in the office
would be a nuisance, but young
woman who kept powder box, cold
cream jar and a bottle Of violet water
on her desk among the typewriter sup
plies and copying ink was an utter i'm
possibility that ought to be encour-
aged to look for more congenial job,
said the bakers dozen Of men who
have had their own way in that Office
for five years; but when, with the
hrst freezing of the steam pipes corks
stuck like glue to ink and mucilage
bottles every time they happened to
be corked up and the young woman
came to the rescue by simply smear
ing some of her cold cream over every
cork SO it would stand in the bottle
for a month without sticking, the men
said maybe woman who knew prac-
teal little hints like that wasn't such
a bad person to have around after
all.

books, as supplied by their friends.
no book to bear date of less than
twenty years ago. One such collec-
ton proved most delightful entertain
ment There were quaint Peter Par
ley books and all sorts of books Of
grandmother's day. An added attrac-
ton was the personal idea each sug-
gested, with the names of the original
owners and verses warning not to
steal the precious book on danger of
coming to the gallows in the end and
SO on. One woman who is something
of an invalid has amused herself by
getting together a collection of the
old McGuffey schoolbooks that she
used in her childhood. She had some
difficulty in supplying some of the
readers. but finally got them all.

Admiral Fishers Folly.

By laying the first modern Dread.
nought down, Admiral Fisher In
creased naval expenditure on a single
battleship to enormously more than
what 1t was before. That was not all
he did. By his action he put all the
battleships in the British navy out of
date in day, and made them At only
for the boneyard. So superior was his
ship In armament and gunfire to all
others, that navies nowadays are
classed only by the number of Dread
noughts they possess. For this mis-
take. instead of being cashiered or
hanged, he was raised to the British
peerage as a reward of merit. His
folly is being repeated everywhere.
Even Dreadnoughts and armored
cruisers are going out of date fast.
Nothing short of super-Dreadnought
and Dreadnought cruisers-the latter
costing about $7,5O0,000 at the lowest
will satisfy our craze for that stu
pendous piece of folly called naval
power."-Alexander G. Mcclellan, in

HobbIe skirt in Bible Time.

Can any one doubt, asks writer In
French newspaper. that the ladies OF
Jerusalem in Biblical times were i'm
peded In their walk like the ladies Of
today? In the latter part OF the
third chapter OF the Prophecy of
Isaiah. says the writer before referred
to. we get a glimpse of how these
daughters of Sion dressed on gala oc-
casions. We learn further, he says,
from a passage in the Talmud (Baby-
lonfan), chapter Vi. (Schabbats trans
lation), that the robes OF the ladies'
were SO tight that they could only
walk with short steps. BY this means
o greater opportunity was afforded to
Meir admirers to observe them. The
writer. quoting from the Vulgate, OBJ
serves: "Nihil sub sole novium." Tho
suggestion evidently is that the hob
BILE skirt was in vogue in very far
away times.

Pittsburg is growing at a fairly
rapid rate, but wants to increase still
more swiftly. That smoky town has
an ambition to reach the 100000
mark in population, and is bending
every effort in that direction. For
one thing, Pittsburg is pushing the
project for ship canal from that city
to Lake Erie, by which 1t is hoped to
increase still further the already great
industrial activity of that district.
Other schemes include a big rapid
transit system, with subway attach
ments, bringing various points into
easier reach; educational and other
expansion, and numerous improve
ments designed to increase the at
tractiveness and convenience of the
city and its enyirons. And Pittsburg
seems to have sufficient public spirit
to carry out the great work suggested.
