Wireless Signal Sent Out by Ships in
Distress Is Universal Call
for Assistance.

In talking with the wireless operator
many ship passengers ask the meaning
of the three letters used in the dis
tress signal, IS. o. S." There seems
to be a general opinion that the letters
are the abbreviation of three separate
words with a definite meaning. Per
sons Of an imaginative trend will tell
you that the letters stand for Save
our Ship" "Send out ~succor," Sink
or SWIM or some such meaning.
The letters signify nothing but that a
ship is in distress and in need of as
sistance. The call is used by all ma
tons as a universal code, that any
wireless operator, regardless Of the
language he speaks, can Immediately
intercept the call Of distress. Inas-
much as the call is in use by all coun-
tries, it can be seen that the signal
can have 40 meaning in any language.
The character Of the code makes it a
call that can be picked up easily from
other signals, being composed of three
dots, three dashes, three dots-Ocean

USE OF OILS AND PERFUMES
One of the Most Ancient Customs Still
Maintained in the Lands of
the Orient.

The use of ungents applied to the
hair and skin as an act of toilet is an
ancient custom, especially in connec-
ton with cleansing and bathing.
Among the Jews it was an almost
daily practice to make use of oils and
perfumes.
Luxury led to specially scented oils
often as a sign Of joy, discontinued
during the time of mourning, and re-
sumed as a sign of favor and pros
perity.
The amounting of guests on arrival
or at feasts was customary in Christ's
time, Simon's failure of hospitality in
this respect is commented upon by
our Lord.
Some modern jewellers in the Orient,
perpetuating the ancient customs in
an ignorant and deprayed form, too
frequently omit the bathing, which in
ancient times always preceded the
amounting, and only the perfumes re-
main. Certain perfumes have been
almost wholly monopolized by certain
undesirable classes of people.
The brighter, cleaner survivals of
the ancient custom are met with in
the daily life at weddings, where
guests are met with showers of ose
leaves, or sprayed with rose water,
cologne water. orange flower water,
while most costly ointments are ap-
piled to the hands and face.-The
Christian Herald.

If You Feel "Nervy.r

No one car help feeling so at times
in this age of rush and racket, but it
is quite possible to put on the brake,
as it were, and not let the nerves run
away with Is.
Here are a few wise hints on the
subject:
If people fret you, it is not neces-
sary to be rude to them. Try, in
stead, to avoid them.
Don't read books that irritate yoU.
Books are plentiful, therefore put
away the offending volume and choose
another.
If a noise at night worries you, don't
let it continue to do sc Get up and
see to the matter, and put it right.
Don't let yourself get into the habit
of being bored. 1t is not worth while.
When you feel it coming on, plunge
at once into some task that will take
all your time and energy.
1t is better to run away from Ger
tain things than let them irritate you.
Such martyrdom is usually unneces-
sary, and bad for you all round.

trip in the mountains and desert. He
was free to choose his own compan-
ions and be untrammeled by family
responsibilities or financial obliga-
lions. The doctor returned to her
practice to give him the chance he
craved.
A year and one-half passed and
Burcham and his two companions, F.
M. Moores and John Singleton, had
failed to locate the coveted gold. One
day they began an exploration of Te-
hachepi, a small mountain, which had
overlooked their work for the last IL
months. They discovered that gold
actually exuded from the very rocks
and slopes Of the mountain.
A wild dash RAJ made across the
desert to R~andsburg, so miles away,
and doctor Burcham was summoned
at once. From that time she became
the dominating influence which gov
erned its destiny and saved 1t. 1t was
in July, 1895, that she landed in
Randsburg. After spending several
years in the desert and at the mine,
suffering the same hardships as the
men and undergoing the same dangers
Of bandits and Indians, she came into
the city and battled FIVE years with
courts and lawyers in desperate eff
forts to save her share.

Every mans hand seemed to be out
to snatch the prize. Doctor Burcham's
three partners, including her husband,
were inveigled into selling their share
for a mere pittance> when they knew
the mine vas worth millions, but the
woman stood firm. and at last won
from the promoters and the greedy
lawyers. Many public men were ex-
posed and lawyers were threatened
with disbarment during the five years.
battle, in which she saved not only
her own share, but that of the others.
Now Doctor Burcham sits at her
desk, handling the enormous details
of the Yellow Astor Mining company,
Of which she is secretary, as serenely
as n one who has been unvexed by
responsibility and untouched by care.
Her lace showns not a trace of her
hard life in the desert, of the weari-
some and dangerous journeys in a
blackboard over the so miles between
the mine and nearest town, or the
battles where her wits were pitted
against the keenest minds in the le-
gal profession.

Luckily, the woman was not much

sturdily refused to give. Then the po-
