INTERVIEW IN THE SEINE

People kave been interviewed in the
strangest ways and in the strangest
places. The climax. perhaps. has been
reached by the reporter of Persian
paper. He plunged into the Seine aft
er his victim and interviewed her
while swimming. The reporters prey
was Juliette Cure, q plucky little girl
OF twelve, who swan against the
champions of the world and finished
fourth. When 1t was known that, with
an allowance Of some 1900 yards, the
the little girl had plunged into the
Seine at the same time as the other
champions started at Ivry, all eyes
were turned toward Juliette Cure. A
reporter could not help plungtng in
after her as she reached the Point
Royal. He swan up to her side.
There was no time to present a card.
Just one word, anything that she said
then and there would do for an in
terview. She was too busy striking
out with her hands and feet The re-
porter insisted. Surely you must feel
tired" he said. No." was the curt
reply. I'm going to finish" That
was all he could obtain for his trouble.
but 1t was enough. He had scored o
point over his colleagues.

SOUTH SEA WAVES

We all remember with what fire.
quency in the old narratives of expert
ences in the South Seas reference is
made to the heavy swells of the ocean,
which impressed the navigators with
the idea of their remoteness from
land. The great size of the set waves
in high southern ATTITUDES has been
explained by the fact that south of
the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn
there is neither windward nor leeward
shore, and the prevailing wind in all
longitudes is westerly. Thus when a
west wind springs up>it finds long
westerly swell, the effect of a previ-
GUS wind, still running. The newborn
wind increases the steepness of this
swell and so forms majestic storm
waves which sometimes attain
length of 1900 feet from crest to
crest. The average height attained
By sea waves in feet is about half the
velocity of the wind in miles an hour.

FEEDING THE INVALID
MATTER OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
IN THE SICK ROOM.
FOO Frequently Insufficient Attention
is Paid to This by the Nurse
Serve Food in the Dainti-
est Style.

Few things are more difficult than to
get a sick person to take nourishing
food, and no task, as rule, is worse
managed. Amateur nurses may be sue
cessful in other matters, but they gen.
orally make failure of the food prop
osition.
The nurse is usually TO blame when
the patient will not take enough food.
She will bring a huge plateful OF
jelly or big basinful of beef tea to
him, and he will reject it with disgust,
because the sight Of so much food Is
distasteful. If she brought few
spoonfuls at a time and served them
daintily he would be glad to eat
Give little food at a time, and give it
often. That which is eaten willingly
and with relish is far better than
double the amount swallowed with
disgust.
If time is fixed for the patients
meals, always be punctuaL. If kept
waiting, most sick people lose their de-
sire to eat and will reject the food
when it is brought to them.
Be careful never to have food In the
sick room in the hope that the patient
may eat It presently. This will pre-
vent him from taking any food at
all.
Never take large quantity of any,
ching at one time, thinking that be-
cause the patient had liked it before
he will like it again In nine cases out
of ten sick persons appetite is
capricious. His food, therefore, should
be varied as much as possible.
Don't rely too much on beef tea. 1t
Is a useful stimulant, but it is not
really nourishing, as most people sup
pose it to be.
Be particularly careful to serve
everything in the daintiest style. Glass
should be bright, silver FURNISHED,
napkins lily white and saucers free
from Stops. These little details will
make all the difference in the patients
appetite.
Always make sure that the patient
is placed in a comfortable position to
eat and drink and be careful that no
crumbs are left in the bed.
The practice of putting dishes in the
oven to warm them for the table is
bad one. The dry heat causes the
enamel to crack in time and then the
grease soon penetrates them, to their
utter ruination. Put the dishes to be
heated in dishpan and pour boiling
water over them. Let them stand and
steam until ready to serve the meal
then wipe with a clean, dry towel.

"ECZEMA ITCHED so BADLY
COULDN'T STAND IT."

This incident occurred just after a
Jewish holiday. 1t was in third
grade school in Cleveland in a dis
trict of Russian and Hungarian Jews.
The teacher was explaining the
meaning of the word judicious. She
asked the children to give her stories
about the word.
After several had given illustra-
tons about the judicious use Of
money, the teacher said:
Nov give me a story about some
