chiIdren of Sick Mothers.

Many a mother who has been urgec
to submit to an operation to restore
her to the health which is necessary
for proper care of her family has been
distracted at the thought of being
obliged to go to hospital and leave
her children without proper care dur.
ing her absence. Especially is this
true among the very poor, where
most of the relatives, male or female,
leave to go out to work, or, perhaps,
have large families of their own to
feed.
To meet this emergency an excel
lent charity is being financed by some
wealthy women in Gotham, who have
established nursery where young
sters ranging from a few months to
five or six years can have trained
care while their mothers, with easy
minds, are trying to regain their owD
strength.

sUsTENANCE OF A LIFETlME
Astonishing Amount of Food Con
sumed by Human Being During
the Course of Years.

If you are Of average weight, height
and appetite, and live to be seventy.
five, you will have eaten 81 tons of
solid food and SO tons Of liquid. That
is, about one thousand three hundred
times your own weight.
If you were to stack the bread you
will have consumed in this number OF
years the pile would equal fair-sized
building. The amount of butter you
will have used on this bread would
come to a ton and a quarter. If you
are a lover of bacon and were to
stretch that which you have eaten out
in single slices, four miles would be
the length. Five tons of fish and 12,'
600 eggs would stand to your credit
while the normal cheese eater would
easily have consumed 400 pounds.
The vegetables you will have eaten
would fill a train three miles long.
You will have consumed some 10000
pounds of sugar and 1900 pounds Of
salt If you are smoker you will
have used about a half-ton of tobacco
in pipes, and will have smoked a mil
lion cigarettes.

Effects of Overeatino.

Overeating is assigned by DR.. e. E..
Faber of Copenhagen as the real cause
of much of the misery for which "the
uric acid diathesis" is usually held re-
sponsible. From a list of 2S3 corpu
lent patients he finds that chronic
rheumatism, lumbago, varicose veins
and constipation are far more COM
mon among the former, and that NOR
tality from heart and kidney disease
and apopleXy is also chiefly among the
heavyweights. The effects of reduced
diet have proved remarkable. Rheu-
matism, neuralgia, etc., have shown
rapid improvement when the change
has been persisted in to the extent
of lessening weight, and chronic rheu-
matism-though resisting such treat
ment as drugs, hot baths and massage
has been relieved permanently dur
ing moderation, returning with any
new excess. High blood pressure is
lowered by the dieting. The superflu.
Gus flesh is not the cause of the rheu-
matism, ETC., but both the extra weight
and the attendant disorders seem to
be due to the habit of overindulgence,

How to Take Your Own Photo.

Many schemes have been devised
by persons wishing to photograph
themselves, but the most unique
scheme is by using a clothespin and a
fuse. This is done by taking wood
clothespin and shaping one end SO
that it grasps the bulb OF the shutter
and the spring tends to press the
bulb. The other ends are brought to-
gether so as to release the bulb and
are tied with a string or thread On
this is put a fuse of some length.
Peering through the camera and dis
cerning the object by which you can
focus yourself into the cameras eye
you light the fuse. Then placing
yourself in position the fuse gradually
burns until it reaches the clothespin,
which springs, pressing the bulb and
taking the picture.

"Lanouaoey Hath Charms.

Few people enjoy a joke more heart
lily than Sir Oliver Ledger, the prin-
cipal of Birmingham university and
a foremost authority on many things
in this world and some few in the
next. Among the stories he is fond
of telling is that Of bishop who
was walking along a canal towpath
when he heard bargee using very
strong language to the horse. The
bishop demonstrated in stately terms
and pointed out that such profanity
was most unseemly. The bargee lis
tened respectfully and then scratched
his head ruefully as he replied: It's
all right, gov'nor, l sees what you
mean. and I'll speak quieter like. But
I'm afeard as how it'll be bit lone
some like fer the hoss."

Changes in Rates.

According to Tariff Bulletin No. 29,
just issued by the Public Servic Com
mission, information is given of the
changes in freig and express rates,
some of which affect Frederick city and
county. The rate on cement from
Union Bridge to Taneytown has been
reduced to 80 cents per net ton. Glass
rates are established between the Balt-
more and Ohio and the Hagerstown and
Frederick Railway. The rate on ice
from Brunswick to Knoxville has been
reduced to 60 cents per net ton. On
lime and ground lime stone from the
Hagerstown and Frederick Railway to
Fulton, Walbrook, etc., the rate is 81
per net ton. Freight transferred be-
tween the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Hagerstown and Frederick Railway at
Frederick, at which no through rates are
in effect, will be subjected to transfer
charge of three cents per hundred
weight, the minimum charge being 10
cents.

NEED ONLY DEFINITE RULES
Really Little Seems to Stand in the
Way of the Creation of a Uni
versaI Language.

If an editor should print bad Eng
lish he would lose his position. Many
editors are using and printing bad
methods of graphic presentation, but
they hold their jobs just the same.
The trouble at present is that there
are no standards by which graphic
presentations can be prepared in ac-
cordance with definite rules so that
their Interpretation by the reader may
be both rapid and accurate. 1t is GER
tain that there will evolve for meth
DDS of graphic presentation few USE
full and definite rules which will cor
respond with the rules of grammar for
the spoken and written language. The
rules of grammar for the English Ian
guage are numerous as well as COM
plex, and there are about as many eX'
ceptions as there are rules Yet we
all try to follow the rules in spite of
their intricacies. The principles for a
grammar of graphic presentation are
so simple that a remarkably small
number of rules would be sufficient
to give a universal language. 1t is
interesting to note, also, that there
are possibilities of the graphic presen-
tation becoming an international Ian
guage, like music, which is now writ
ten by such standard methods that
sheet music may be played in any
,ountry.-Engineering Magazine.

Its Breath Is Death.

One variety of the orchid which
grows in the tropics is known as the
vampire orchid. This flower has a
wonderful odor which is peculiarly at.
tractive to animals. When a beast
approaches the flower the odor mar.
cotizes him and he sinks languidiy by
the tree trunk to which the flower is
clinging. Then the flower stretches
down its long, green tentacles and
sucks out the blood of the poisoned
animal. The beast never awakens
from its sleep, while the erstwhile pale
flower takes on soft velvet flush.
