There Is tragedy In the attempts
made to solve the problem of seasick-
ness by the late Mr.. William Louis
Winans, the millionaire, who was an
last twenty-seven years of his life. He
was at heart an American citizen, but
his doctors warned him that voyage
across the Atlantic with the probabili-
ty of seasickness. would be fatal to
him. So be devoted the rest of his life
to designing a vessel In which he could
safely travel to America But the
fates were against him, and his inven-
ton never got further than the shelves
Of the patent office.-London Opinion

LISTERS BOLD EXPERIMENT.
He Used His First Draining Tube on
Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria.
A strange anecdote is related in the
life of Lord Lister by Dr. G. T.
Wrench 1t seems that Lister actually
nsed Queen Victoria as the first sub
ject of one Of his great experiments
Shortly after taking up the chair Of
surgery in Edinburgh, according to
Dr. Wrench. Lister was called to Bal
moral to operate on the queen for an
abscess DR.. Wrench goes on to say:
The operation was successful. Lister
put in strip Of carbolic lint to keep
the wound open for drainage. But. un.
fortunately, the matter of the abscess
did not come away properly. and the
queen was still feverish and in pain.
Lister. disturbed by this unfayor
able course walked alone in the
grounds OF Balmoral a lonely walk
being his custom when he had a diff
cult problem to solve During his
cogitations it occurred to him that
piece Of india rubber tubing might
form an excellent path Of exit to the
discharge OF a wound 1t is illustra-
tive Of Listers bold faith in himself
that. though his patient was the high
est lady in the land. he did not hesi
tate to make her the first subject OF
his experiment.
HE returned from his walk, cut a
piece OF tubing from the spray ap-
paratus and soaked it all night in car
bolic In the morning he made use
OF II.
The queen made rapid and COM
plete recovery. Lister. confirmed by his
royal experiment. adopted rubber
drainage tubes as a part of his prac
tice"

Paint Saves Monev.

Why not use little paint occasion
ally? 1t prolongs the life of the build
lngs, adds value to the price of the
farm and helps to make "home beau.
ttful." Buildings last 25 to so per cent
longer If painted. That means that a
building which would last fifty to sew
enty-fve years unpainted would last
% to l25 years If painted. 1t is the
same with fences and farm imple-
ments. 1t Is easy to see that paint
saves money Kansas Farmer.

BABooNs AT HOME.
A study of the Animals In Their Wild
State In Africa.

We can only learn the nature and
disposition OF an animal like the ba-
boon from study OF its behavior In
wild state. Few persons ever have
chance for such study. and accordingly
IN iutelligently observed account of the
animals actions becomes of interest.
The author of "Animal Life In Africa
Major j. Stevenson Hamilton. fur
nishes the following results of his per-
sonal Investigations:
1t is most interesting and instructive
to watch, from some concealed posi-
ton. the social life of troop of
balloons who fancy themselves to be
unobserved Perched about at inter
walls among the rocks are some of the
older males. evidently on the lookout
for danger Behind them walk and
squat a heterogeneous mass of females
and of young animals The females en-
ploy themselves In various family tasks.
and the youngsters, playing and squab-
bling, chase one another around to a
shrill accompaniment of chattering
screams.
Possibly two of the latter, in the
course OF a rough and tumble, Jostle
against one of the older males. Imme
ately the latter's attitude of dignited
quiescence vanishes and he turns with
a roar upon the imprudent Juveniles,
who hastily retreat with shrieks of
fear Now and then a mother finds 1t
necessary to chastise her offspring or
to wreak vengeance upon one or an
other Of the unattached hobbledehoys
who she guesses. meditates imposing
upon or injuring 1t. The air resounds
with squeaks. shrill cries and occasion
al bass grunts.
Suddenly from one of the guards
comes q single deep, hoarse bark. and
instantly there Is silence. The females
catch up their young offspring; the rest
OF the band. with one accord. scuttle
out right and left. and in moment
there is nothing TO be seen except one
or two OF the larger males. who walk
quietly off. now and then stopping to
glance back and to utter their resonant
warning barks.
II you run quickly forward and climb
to some coign of vantage you will
perhaps be in time to see the whole
band scampering off. The infants cling
to their mothers backs, the unattached
juveniles race ahead. and the three or
four fathers OF families bring up the
rear at more deliberate pace.

RESTING A RAZOR.
Why Letting It lie Idle For Awhile

| 1t is well known that our metals are

excellent conductor. and when this
metal is fashioned into tools with sharp
