Emerson's Trumpet Call.

In that unceasing march of things,
which calls forward the successive
generations of men to perform their
part on the stage of life, We at length
are summoned to appear. Our fathers
have passed their hour of visitation
how worthily, let the growth and pros
perity of our happy land and the Sc
curity of our fresides attest.
The turn has come to us. The trial
Of adversely was theirs; the trial Of
prosperity is ours. Let US meet it as
men who knew their duty and prize
their blessings. Our position is the
most enviable, the most responsible,
which men can fill. If this generation
does it duty the cause of constitu-
tional freedom is safe. If we fail-if
we fail, not only do we defraud our
children of the inheritance which we
received from our fathers, but we
blast the hopes of the friends of
liberty throughout our country,
throughout Europe, throughout the
world, to the end of time.-From Ed

GREAT USE OF ASBESTOS
Domestic Mine Production Small as Com
pared with Canadian

If the Uni ed States cannot boast of
prominence in asbestos production, as
it can for many other materials, it is at
least matter of some qualification to
know that the bulk of the worlds pro-
duction comes from America and that
the Canadian deposits yield by far the
larger part of the total. In this too the
United States benefits for the nearness
and reliability of the Canadian supply,
largely owned in the United States, af-
ford the basis for our eventual unques-
toned supremacy iD the development of
asbestos manufactures. Even as it is,
there are, according to J. S. Diler of the
United States Geological Survey, some
valuable deposits and promising pros
poets in the United States, and these
| would undoubtedly be much more large
ly developed were it not for the extent of
the Canadian deposits. The domestic
production in 1912, according to Mr.. Dill
Ter, was 4 40S short tons, valued at $751;,
$50. and although this was a decline of
forty-two per cent in tonnage compared
with the output for 1911 it was only
twenty-seven per cent less in value, ow-
ing to the larger quantity of higher-grade
asbestos in 1912. Georgia, Vermont and
Wyoming are the three states which mine
asbestos. The Canadian exports of as
bestos in 1912 amounted to IS, 00S tons,
of which 81 ,426 tons, or more than eighty
one per cent was imported into the
United States. This quantity was sixty
seven per cent of the entire Canadian
production.

The most common uses of asbestos are

vent loss of heat in trans mission. AS a

The treatment" which consists

been compelling him to crowd two
days work into one, to the detriment
of his health.
"My patient now has two distinct
days and two distinct recuperation

the doctor explained. "He begins

for two hours complete rest. At sew

WORSE THAN HEAT PRODUCES
Burn" Made by Cold Causes Stub
born Wound That Is Some
Weeks In Healing.

Whoever has applied q moistened
finger to a piece of frosty metal in
winter we'll remembers the painful
experience thereby gained of the fact
that cold, as we'll as heat, can blister
the skin.
During some experiments in the pro-
duction of excessively low tempera-
lures Pictet, the French investigator,
burned himself with cold several
times, and the effects were 80 re-
markable, says Harper's Weekly that
ne deemed them worthy of description
TO body Of scientific men.
1t appears that there are two kinds
or degrees of cold burn. In the case
OF the less severe burns" the skin
at first turns red, but becomes blue
the next day. The inf1amed spot
swells, and a period, varying from
month to six weeks, elapses before the
wound heals.
When the contact with the cold sub
stance is longer and more complete,
burn of the second degree is pro-
duced. A malignant and stubborn
wound is formed, and the process of
healing is very slow.
A drop of liquid air falling on Pic
tets hand, produced a cold burn which
did not completely heal in six months,
while a scorch from heat, accidentally
inflicted on the same hand and nearly
at the same time, was healed in ten
Or twelve days.

Frying Bacon,

When frying bacon, put the sliced
meat into a colander or sieve and pour
boiling water over it. Let it stand in
the water just a few seconds. then
pour cold water through it to regain
its crispness, says a contributor to
Good Housekeeping. Absorb the wa.
ter with a cloth and fry in a smoking
hot pan. The scalding removes the
superfuous salt which is usually left
in the bacon. The fat that is friend
out in the cooking is better than lard
for frying. AS it has no burned salt
in it, it is almost as white as lard
