BAD WEATHER HERE
ON FIRST OF MONTH
Heavy Rain Put a Crimp IN Trade
Here Yesterday.

The weather yesterday served TO
quarantine the country trade which
always comes on Saturday and, there
by, put a crimp in business here in
every line. Few farmers braved the
and the stores wore a somewhat de-
serted appearance. 1t was not an aus
picious Beginning for the first day OF
the month, but things could not ne
helped. The only busy men were the
fertilizer dealers, who loaded scores
of wagons with the commercial cotton

DISEASES CURED BY RESTING
For Active tuberculosis Especially,
Repose In Bed Is Most Powerful
Remedial Agent. M

An eminent English scientist de
clares that In both the plant and ami
NAL kingdoms rest is essential to
growth. In infancy development is In
its highest state of activity. and the
healthy infant passes the greatest
portion of its life In a state of rest
and sleep.
Repair is but the repetition of growth
and for it rest Is just as necessary as
an injury to limbs when rest is OBJ
tanned by splints. bandages. etc. In
the. case Of the heart and lungs rest
can be got only by resting the whole
body In the recumbent position. Rest
in bed Is the most powerful curative
agent in the treatment of active tu
berculosis.
One or two months In bed, he says,
are necessary In the beginning OF
treatment of all cases. If the disease
is very active the patient should be
fed by a nurse and treated as in ty
phoid fever. Bed treatment should
be continued until the temperature
and pulse have both been normal for
some time and the weight is nearly
normal. The rest treatment of tuber
culosis has been attended with pleas
ing results.

OBJECT LESSON MISSED FIRE
UneIe's Idea Of Teaching His Country
Nephew Caution Proved Some
thing Of Failure.

A youth from the country was pay
ing his first visit to New York, and
accompanied by his uncle, a leading
banker, went to the theater, says the
Pathfinder. While waiting in the
lobby before the performance the
country boy flung back his coat anc
with hands in his pockets displayed
heavy gold watch-chain. The uncle
observed the act and resolved to teach
him a lesson.
While the young mans attention
was diverted the uncle slipped the
watch and chain from his vest, and
they entered the theater.
What time Is tit" he asked when
they were seated.
The boy felt for his timepiece and
found 1t was gone Allowing him to
make a thorough search Of 1t, the
uncle told him he had taken 1t an6
read him sharp lecture. You are
not in the country now, you know,
where you can display valuables with
impunity. You should be more care
full. Let this be a lesson to you"
So saying he slipped his hand into
his overcoat pocket where he had
put the watch. To his utter dismay
he found it was gone. And wher
he looked to see if his own was safe
he found that also had taken wings.

RHoprs, GOOD WORK
statement Made That Glory Of oliver
Hazard perry's Victory Belongs
to That State.

The celebration of Perry's victory on
Lake Erie recalls that the northwest
was not only settled very largely by
emigration from the New England
states. but that those great and pop
ulous states we're very probably saved
to the union in the second war with
England by the enterprise and vaior
of New England sailors. the Boston
Herald observes.
Oliver Hazard Perry, then COM
mander In the navy and much discon-
tented because the duties assigned
to him offered no opportunity for prov
ing his mettle, was Rhode islander
in charge of feet of gunboats guard
ing Narragansett bay In the winter OF
1928. Possessed, he said, by an
ardent desire to meet the enemies
of his country" he applied for service
on the lakes. On the very day that
the order came for his transfer to
Lake Erie he sent forward fifty men,
the second day he sent fifty more. an
other party started on the long jour
ney the following day, and Perry him
self started on February %, taking
with him the boy of his famous paint
ing, his brother, aged twelve years.
The wilderness trip was hard and
tedious one, and the lake was reached
on March ~. All the men who had
been under his orders In Rhode Is
land had volunteered for the service,
SO attached to him were they.
There is good reason to consider the
operations that followed on Lake Erie
as part of the history Of Rhode Is
land. The interruption Of commerce
by the war had thrown many captains,
mates and seamen out Of employment
and many of them had taken service
with Perry on the Narragansett
fiotilla. Thus it came about that
Rhode Island had In the battle of
Lake Erie not only Perry himself, but
four of the nine commanders, ma
jority Of the sailing masters and
mates, a large number Of the remain
ing officers and great many Of the
sailors, besides the men who superin'
tended the rigging and arming of the
feet.
The centenary celebration, there
fore. is tribute to the prowess OF a
New England state. 1t was said years
ago by a historian that there never
was an expedition of Importance to
the country which was made up so
largely of officers and men from

Modern Surgery.

DR.. A. L. Soresi of New York, who
is in London for the medical con.
gress, gave details of new marvel
in surgery he is studying; nothing
less than the grating of new limbs
to replace those lost. The victim OF
an amputation may have the leg OF
a dead man or woman fixed upon him
by surgeons, who will join the nerves
and veins, making the dead limb re-
vive and begin a new life with its
new owner.
Doctor Soresi has been long expert
menting on animals. Il took the leg
from dead white dog" he said, "and
grated 1t on a yellow dog. whose leg
had been removed. The yellow dog.
with one white leg, now trots about
thoroughly well. / have now three
patients awaiting my return, to whom
hope to give new limbs taken from
the bodies of persons accidentally
killed"

French Authorities Refused to curtaII
Privileges Enjoyed by Famous
Animal.

AT Brest, the most important ma
val center Of France with the excep-
ton Of Toulou, there is an institu-
ton founded by the Empress Eu-
genie which takes charge Of the
daughters Of sailors, firemen and
other employees Of the navy and edu-
Gates them at the governments ex-
pense, says an exchange. The head
Of the institution is the wife Of the
project maritime.
Besides a few sisters of charity
and an ancient guardian the institu-
ton has a very important function
in the "person" of Ulysses, donkey
of considerable age and respectable
ity in the neighborhood. The prin-
ciple duty of Ulysses is to be driven
downtown twice q day and carry
back the provisions Of the institu-
ton. Everyone in town knows the
donkey with the exception of cor
poral of the guard at the arsenal
who arrived only recently in Brest-
He has cause now to know the dom
key whenever he sees the animal.
By an old decree the donkey is
permitted legally to enter the arse
nal yard, where there is plenty of
green pasture. A day or two ago
the new corporal saw one of the old
members of the guard leading the
donkey into the pasture. He remon-
strated with the guard, who replied:
at is the donkey of the empress"
"The empressp' said the corporal,
confused "but we are in republic.
There is no longer an empress in
France"
Then it was explained that an am
Gent decree gave the donkey per.
mission to Craze in the promised
land. A general search for the Of
fetal paper was begun. Finally
yellow document was brought to
light bearing the date of 1882, Civ

FOUND HAPPINESS IN LABOR
Sensible " Unusual Course Followed
by Man who Had Millions at
Ills Command.

A forceful lesson In the human ma,
ture which rules us AL may be gath.
cred from the experience OF the young
man who. inheriting large fortune.
was wise enough to realize that no
man. rich or poor, can find happiness
except in work and accomplishment,
says the Boston Herald.
This man, while still in college, fell
heir to several millions, but tired OF
the futility of an existence in which
there was no element Of difficulty, left
lis home and college, obtained en-
)loyment on the construction line OF
l railroad, rose on his own merits to
'e section boss and now reports
himself thoroughly happy.
His action was futile and foolish
or one who might use the power of
wealth for his pleasure and others
,ood, 1t may be said, but IL shows
hat he realized the real unhappiness
} # those who Try to be happy without
he stress of work, be 1t self-imposed
IT necessary for self-support.
No men are more unhappy than
those from whom circumstances have
removed the pressure which requires
hard work, and who have not had
either the willingness or foresight to
force themselves to tasks which call
for their best and utmost endeavor.
Often, indeed, it may seem that moth
ing would be pleasanter than life of
luxurious idleness, but one has only
to see the victims of such living to
be disabused of this delusion.
In this country the privileges and
responsibilities of great inherited
wealth have been but recently ex-
perienced, and the very newness of
such possessions has led many TO
waste their lives in the futile quest OF
pleasure. Luckily today more and
more of the sons of rich men have
grown to understand that they can
lead satisfactory existence onlr II
they live much as others do, using
their wealth rather to enlarge the re-
suits of their work than to escape
its call.
