lMPRovIsED STILL DID WORK
Inventive cooIie Helped Medical Mis-
sionary Out of an Exceedingly
Tight Place.

In a life-and-death battle with chol-
era epidemic in Human province,
China, in which an American medical
missionary was the leading figure, one
Of the most serious difficulties was met
successfully by one of the mental hos
the Worlds Work. Since every pa
tient had to have from one pint to sew
eral quarts of distilled water with salt
in it, the water could not be distilled
fast enough. For two days the staff
struggled along with makeshifts while
thinking up a plan to build still for
little money without the loss of time.
This coolie solved the problem. In
one day and at cost of less than two
dollars he built still which later pro-
duced 20 gallons of distilled water
every "a hours.
The still was simplicity itself. For
cooking food the Chinese use large fiat
saucerlike pans, made of iron. With
one of these above and another below,
the coolie made drum of galvanized
iron with hole in the side for a
trough. Into the lower pan hot water
for boiling was poured. Underneath a
hot fire sent up a constant steam
vapor. The upper kettle was kept
cool by frequent changings of cold wa
ter. The vapor from the lower kettle,
condensed on the lower surface of the
cool upper kettle, dripped off into the
trough, and filed bottle after bottle
with distilled water.

SIS a Pair for Sad Irons.

wine is not the only thing that i'm
proves with age" said the proprietor
Of a big uptown laundry. eve can buy
shirt irons, just plain sad irons, with
the bottoms futed with wavy indenta-
tions, for one dollar apiece, but we
have iot of them in use here for
which we can get $15 a(pair any day.
No way has been found to season shirt
irons except to use them. A new iron
is an abomination to a laundryman,
and till it is from three to five years
old he let's apprentices practice with
it. The fiuted bottom seems to hold
the steam just where it is needed to
put on the polish, but nothing but con-
tact with linen will smooth down the
flutes.
II have never seen an iron that was
worn out, though they lose as much as
one-eighth Of their weight in time, the
metal just naturally wears off against
the linen. Different ironers use their
irons differently. One man with long
use will wear quarter of an inch off
the toe, and another as much from the
heel.
Good irons are more frequently
spoiled by overheating than by use.
Even in the most humid weather the
face of a seasoned iron seldom rusts,
though the handle and top get rough
and ugly. New York Times.

MOST FAITHFUL OF FRIENDS
For Affection and Fidelity No Living
Thing Can Equal Mans Com
panion, the Dog.

The dog is the delight of the poor
mans howell and the rich mans man
sion. Faithfully he follows his mas
ter who tramps the dusty roadside.
and sits proudly upon the cushioned
seat Of the millionaire's de luxe
machine.
Wealth, caste, social distinction are
all one to him; he is content and USE
full in every station to which assigned
by fate.
Disguise does not deceive him;
paint, tinsel, silk and jewels are no
more to him than tatters, rags, worn
shoes or ragged hats, but it is what
those things cover, the man, who wins
his affection or dislike.
But he knows the just from the I'M
just, the kind from the unkind, the
charitable from the uncharitable, the
true from the false, the man from
the hypocrite. He is considerate,
courteous, chivalrous.
With devoted strength he has res
cued his master from a watery grave
and dragged child from an angry
fire.
Over bleak and frozen mountains
he has carried food and drink and
brought assistance to the wounded and
those in dire distress.
And in return he asks but little
consideration and a fe kind words.
Never yet the dog our country fed,
Betrayed the kindness or forgot the
bread.

WATCH FOR "WAVING WILLIE
Young Mans Unique Method of TAX
ing Leave of His Girl Has At
tracted Attention.

He's been calling on Juliet for many,
many months. Not that the neighbor-
hood objects to that. A lot of them
come and go up that way. The girls
give them all a tryout, but it would
seem as if this one had earned regu-
lar place. The best part of the show
occurs when Willie says good night.
We presume the real good night is en-
acted in the reception hall or dark COR
ner of the vestibule--but that's an
other story.
The fable concerns what Willie does
after he goes. The stay-up-lates in the
section have been accustomed to see
each man fade into the darkness the
moment he gumshoes away from his
girls abode. But it remained for Will
lie to spring the innovation. He got
away with it for month before the
neighborhood got wise. Now every
body stays up till he takes his depar-
ture, and watches
He proceeds up the street until I'M
der an arc light 20 yards away. Turn
ing with graceful motion he lifts one
fail-like arm and waves a farewell to
his love. He played football once at
high school, too He advances five
yards, perhaps eight. Then he turns
again and waves once more. One night
he waited a kiss on the evening breeze.
And so 1t goes, until he is out of sight.
The neighborhood enjoys it hugely. So
the latest indoor sport is sitting up
for Waving Willie. "-Brockton Enter

Prehistoric Babies Nursing Bottles.

According to recent discoveries il
appears that nursing bottles were
used even in prehistoric times. This
is true at least for the age of polished
stone, inasmuch as French archeolo-
gist, when exploring neolithic fu.

tie, and this was quite intact. This

son for opposing the treatment OF
rice as contraband of war.
Every War a Calamity.
Every war is great calamity.
said Prince Bismarck, (which entails
evil consequences not only on the
cOmbatants, but also on neutrals.
These evils may easily be increased
by the interference of a neutral power
with the way in which a third carries
on the war The measure has for its
object the shortening of the war and
is justifiable if impartially enforced
against all neutral ships"
Referring to the German govern
ment's seizure of grain, Sir Edward
Grey says:
Another circumstance which is
now coming to light is that an elabor-
ate machinery has been organized by
the enemy for supply of fOOdstuffs for
the use of the German army from
overseas. Under these circumstances
il would be absurd to give any defin-
lite pledge that in cases where the sup
plies can be proved 10 be for the use
of the enemy forces they should be
given complete immunity by the sim
pie eXpedient of dispatching them TO
an agent in a neutral port.
The reason for drawing a distinc-
ton between fOOdstuffs intended for
the civil population and those for the
when the distinction between the civil
population and the armed forces it
self disappears.
Is No Clear Division.
"In any country in which there eX-
lists tremendous organization for war
as now obtains in Germany there is no
clear division between those whom the
government is responsible for feeding
and those whom ii is not. Experience
shows that the power To requisition
will be used to the fullest extent in
order to make sure that the wants of
the military are supplied and however
much goods may be imported for
civil use it is by the military that they
will be consumed if military exigen-
the German government have taken
control of all the foodstuffs in the
country.
Acts Arc Consistent.
MY hope is that when the facts
which l have set out above are re-
allied and when it is seen that our
naval operations have not diminished
American trade with neutral countries
and that the lines on which we have
acted are consistent with the funda-
mental principles of international law
it will be apparent to the government
and people Of the United States that
his majeSty'S government have hith-
erto endeavOred to exercise their bel
ligerent rights with every possible
consideration for the interests of neu-
trails.
1T will still be our endeavOr to
avoid injury and loss to neutrals, but
the announcement by the German
government of their intention to sink
merchant vessels and their cOrgOes
without notification of their national
ity Of character and without making
any provision for the safety of non
COmbatant crews or giving them a
chance of saving their lives has made
it necessary for his majesty's govern
ment TO consider what measures they
should adopt to protect their inter
ests lit is impossible for one bellig-
erent to depart from rules and prece-
dents and for the other to remain
bound by them"

the judgment in her favor for
$1,000 when she was claiming
$500.
The Town authorities believe
that the judgment is so erroneous

They do not believe that the judg-
ment can be maintained by the
