Patience.
DR.. Russell H. Conwell Is great
believer in patience, and he recently
told a story indicating what he be-
lieved to be an example of making q
virtue of patience.
"A young man was standing at the
gate, waiting for his sweetheart, and
when at last she appeared he re-
marked kindly, What time you have
kept me waiting!'
"'Oh, dear me, how fussy you are.'

Oven Door Used az Warming Plate.
gas stoves used in kitchens show this
limitation and the makers of electric
heating devices have been delighted at
being unhampered by this objectiona-
BILE feature. With electric ovens or
stoves the heating element can be
placed in any position or location that
may seem best suited for the cook
ing to be done by it and it may even
be movable. An interesting illustra-
ton of this is found In a new electric
oven offered by Scotch firm which
has the heating element fastened to
one side Of the oven. When the oven
is not needed, this whole side of the
oven can be swung outward to form a
heating plate for use with teakettle,
coffee pots, or the like. Such a change
would be manifestly impossible with
any gas heated device, yet it is but
one of the wide range Of new COM
binations which electricity IL bring
ing to our kitchens.-Popular Me-
chanics.

'''''S Decline

Less Typhoid and Con-

Richmond, Va. Jan. THAT
two OF Nirginia's most dread
diseases claimed smaller toll
in 1910 than in 1909 is the most
cheering note in II statement of
Health Commissioner Ennion
& Williams, read today to the
State Board OF Health at it's
annual meeting.
Typhoid fever and consump
ton, according To the Health
Commissioner, showed Il mark
ed decline during the past year.
and the warfare being waged
against them by the State aud
local health authorities prcsages
still greater victories during the
next year. During the statisti.
cal year 1909, the Department
of Health estimated IL ,3gS cases
OF typhoid fever in the State,
exclusive Of the cities which
have organized municipal
health departments. During the
same period Of 1910. this nun
Der was reduced to 1885, or a
decline of 2,555. During 1909,
the estimated number of cases
of consumption developing was
6SlG, while ia 1910 this number
was reduced to $3.50, a decline
OF 1856
In speaking of these figures
today, an officer of the Health
Department grew enthusiastic.
lowing to the absence of a
vital statistics law" he said.
ut is not possible to tell pre-
cisely how many cases of any
given disease occurin the State
during any given time, bnt the
report filed with the Health
Department and the careful
estimates made from them leave
no doubt that there has been a
great and gratifying decline in
typhoid fever and consumption.
Great as this is, it il but an in
dication of the possibilities of
preventive medicine. There is
no reason why, in time, these
dread diseases should not dis
appear, with gain to human
happiness and prosperity which
is beyond ones imagination I"

II. X. Aiken, president OF the

ems, S. c., in tie Columbia
State. writes:
The globe on which we now
live was once n rcd-hot ball of
molten material. 1t has cooled
off considerably, but the cooling
process is not yet completed, for
down towards its center our
planet is still hot beyond con
ception. The increasing tenn
pcratnre OF deep mines, the
geysers and volcanoes and the
records writ in the rocks tell us
this. However, as a result of
the gradual cooling of it's outer
crust contraction took place
and the portions that sank
became the bottoms of the seas
of our lakes of our age while
the protruding portions are the
hills and mountains of today.
Two of these primary ridges
have been named by geogra-
pliers the Blue Ridge aud the
Cumberland mountains of the
Appalachian system or group of
mountains. They extend from
northeast to southwest and as a
consequence the general trend
of the streams i'll this section of
the world is through the valleys

direction, or course, of these
