INFECTIOUS DISEASES.
Easy Method by Which One Hospital
Prevents Their Spread.


The power of a small glass partition
to prevent the spread Of infectious dis
eases has been known in the hospitals
of Europe for several years, but IS
only becoming recognized in America.
In the contagious wards of the Brook
Ign Children's hospital glass partitions
about five feet high are placed between
the beds. And the effect is really as
tonishing. In one bed may be a child
with pneumonia, in the next one with
scarlet fever, in the next one with
measles. Cerebrospinal meningitis,
diphtheria and other such diseases may
be represented in the other beds. but
since the installation of the glass par
titiOns no child catches" the disease
that his neighbor has.
And yet the air circulates freely all
around and above the glass partitions.
and one would think that the germs
would spread almost as easily as II
these were not there. Yet experience
has proved that this is not so.
Physicians are revising their views
about the spread of contagious dis
eases through the air. Some are even
ridiculing the fumigation of rooms.
The suggestion is that most of the
pathOgenic germs die very quickly in
The air; that persons must come fairly
close to the patients and be in almost
direct contact with them if they are
to "catch" the disease. - New York

DRY EYED MADNESS.
No Actually Insane Person Has the
Power of Shedding Tears.

ROVER OF SneuCin9 FEARS.
One of the most curious facts con-
nected with madness is the utter alb
sence of tears amid the insane. What
ever the form of madness. tears are
conspicuous by their absence, as much
in the depression of melancholy or ex-
element of mania as in the utter apa-
thy of dementia
If patient in a lunatic asylum be
discovered in tears it will be found
that it is one beginning to recover or
an emotional outbreak in an epileptic.
who is scarcely truly insane. while ac-
tual insane persons appear to have lost
the power of weeping. 1t is only re-
turning reason which can once more
unloOse the fountain of their tears.
Even when lunatic is telling one in
fervid language how she has been de-
prived of her children or the Outrages
that have been perpetrated upon her
self her eye is never even moist. The
ready gush of tears which accOmpa-
MES the plant of the sane woman con-
trasts strangely with the dry eyed ap-
peal of the talkative lunatic. 1t would.
indeed. seem that tears give relief to
feelings which. when pent up, lead to
madness. 1t is one of the privileges of
reason to be able to weep. Amid all
the misery of the insane they find no
relief in tears.-Pearson's Weekly.

AN INGENIOUS CLOCK.
Curious Autonaton That Was Made IL
London a Century Ago.


London Century Ago.
One of the most wonderful timc
keepers known to horologists was
made in London, England. a hundred
years ago and was sent by the preSi
dent of the East India company as :;
gift to the emperor Of China. TIL,
case was made in the form of !.
chariot. in which was seated the figure
Of a woman.
This figure was of pure ivory and
gold, and the right hand rested upon /;
tiny clock, fastened to the side of the
chariot Portions Of the wheels whicI
kept track Of the flight of time were
hidden in the body of tiny bird
which had seemingly just alighteC
upon the woman's finger.
There was a canopy above, so ar
ranged as to conceal a silver bell. Thf
bell was fitted with a little hammer
also Of silver, which, although it die
not appear to have any connection
with the clock, struck the hours regu
larly and could be made to repeat b!

In the chariot, at the woman's feet
there was q golden figure Of a dog
and above were two birds, apparent.
flying before the chariot. This seauti

BOILING AN EGG.
II II Gives You Trouble You Might
Try John Randolph's Way.

The boiling Of an egg seems a simple
matter. but many breakfast has beer
spoiled and many temper rasped by
the cooks failing to observe the pre-
else number of minutes the process
should occupy.
That very original man, John Ran
dolph, is said to have invented a meth
cd of getting his eggs cooked exactly
to his taste that worked perfectly. AS
is the case in many country homes in
the south. the kitchen was in a sep
arate building at some distance from
the house, and servants were plenty
When the sage of Roanoke" tooB
his seat at the breakfast table there
was line of servants from the dining
room to the kitchen. Mrs. Randolph
the mother of the statesman, held an
open watch in her hand.
"Inw exclaimed Mr.. Randolph, and
the word I'm was passed from mouth
to mouth until 1t reached the waitin@
cook. who dropped the eggs into tht
After the requisite number ~
SeCOHuS the uOIueE OIL tue llmeI!e'C
signified that the cooking was done
"Outr went forth the command IL
like manner. and the eggs were quick

The system required six or seven
servants to cook one egg. but Randolph
was accustomed to declare that tli-
was the only way that he could get l.
cooked to suit him.-Youth's Compap

STAGE VILLAINS.
Not Those Who Play the ScoundTelIy
Parts, but the Real Ones.


The true villain of the stage is not
always the one who strives to kidnap
the heroine and beStOw a violent death
upon the hero, for Jealousy and the
acts prompted by it lead not only the
ladies but also the men to resort to IN
principled methods to disgrace a rival
One or two of the tricks are quite
common, notably that Of doing some
thing to make another player miss his
or her cue. In one case an actress car
ried q fan, which she used deliberately
to blow the sound of her low spoken
syllables away from the other actress.
AS result the latter had great diff
Guilty in catching her cues, so much so
that the audience began to speak of
her as poor actress, although in other
pieces she had been praised most high
ly by the critics.
An equally common trick is for the
actor to step toward the back of the
stage. This causes his victims face to
be turned away from the audience, the
consequence being that not only his
voice is lost. but his features are in
visible and his efforts thus spoiled.
Still another device which has been
utilized by stage criminals" IS that of
anticipating the laugh Of a comedian
with a broad smile or grin. This little
trick takes the edge off the fun result
ing from the other actors lines.
One Of the simplest ways Of running
the effect Of an act is by dropping
something at the crucial moment. The
instant this is done the minds Of the
audience will go like fash to this IN
looked for interruption and are drawn
away from the words of the speaker

all the purposes of a laxative, and its very
mildness and freedom from gripping
recommend it especially for the use of
children, women, and old folks gener-
