NO GERMS ON FIRING LINE
At Least Soldiers, Hourly Exposed to
Death, Have One Advantage
Over Civilians.

Trenches are healthier than bar
racks or camps for soldiers, so far as
infectious diseases are concerned. De-
spite the hardships, cold, exposure, ir-
regular meals, strain of nerves, and
other wholly unhygienic conditions,
infectious diseases are usually at a
minimum on the firing line, so says
Col. Valery Harvard of the United
States medical corps. DR.. II. w. Hill
of the Minnesota Public Health asso-
citation explains this seeming paradox.
In the barracks and camps the SOL
diers have wide intercourse with
each other, and with civilians, thus
picking up whatever infectious dis
eases are going. about. Despite reg
ular life, good meals, discipline and
sanitation, the infectious diseases at
tack them. But in the trenches they
are comparatively isolated, and since
infected soldiers are not allowed there
those on the firing line have little
chance to become infected at all.
Such injuries as cold, starvation,
strain can produce are, of course, suf-
fered, but infectious diseases are not
included in this list. Parallel cases
in civil life are not uncommon, and
everyone knows of families who live
like pigs, yet are never sick, while
other families living under apparent
ly the best conditions are more or less
constantly infected with one epidemic
disease after another. Careful inves-
tigation always shows that the for
mer escape, because they do not hap
pen to be exposed to infection.

MUST GUARD AGAINST STRAIN
Too Much Care of Health Cannot Be
Taken by the Student Who Has
to Work.

After making a study of the 48 stu
dents comprising the graduating class
of the Bennett Medical college, Chi
cage, many of whom were working
their way through, DR.. William F.
Waugh, emeritus dean of the college,
writes to the Medical Record that "the
showing is not a good one for the
workers, more than half complaining
of the strain"
Doctor Waugh goes on SO say: "The
man who attempts to earn his living
while attending the modern medical
school should lay down his campaign
as carefully as the modern general
does and calculate his own powers,
the means of keeping his body in the
best condition and the extent of his
own working capacities without undue
strain. In a word, he must be a quail
fed %sanitarian and successfully apply
the laws of sanitary science to his own
caSe.n

Novelty in Motor Vehicles.

A novel motor-driven racer is the
invention of a St. Louis genius, who
has given the name of the "unicycle"
to the great hoop. Though a couple
of small wheels, or rollers, are at
tached to the side of the queer craft,
they merely serve ito steady it when
it is still, and are raised when the
device is in motion. The motive pow
er is a gas engine of the rotary type,
with three cylinders, and this drives
a propeller, five feet in length, at such
speed that the wheel travels at a bet
ter rate than a mile a minute-74
miles an hour to be exact. The frame
which carries the engine, propeller,
driver, and fuel supply is very in
geniously constructed with a set of
rollers that revolve against the inner
side of the big wheel. In this man.
e the frame remains upright while
the wheel revolves. The latter is of
aluminium and has a diameter of 81
inches. Its circumference is protect
ed by a solid rubber tire.

Clever Economies.

Prominent among the many econo-
mics practiced at the moment are
clever little waistcoat effects. Many a
last years coat and bodice are being
brought up to date by a series of cas-
lily adjusted w~aistcoats, which usual
ly conclude in some sort of a distinct
i've collar. Given the simplest, plain
est coat or corsage-in fact, the plain
err the better-a chic note is at once
introduced through one or the other
of these attractive little adjuncts. A
cross-over waistcoat of striped roman
silk was introduced in a last years
navy ratine coat, the Follower collar
at the back fringed with monkey fur,
additions that served to invest a
somewhat de mode suit with a quite
particular cachet.

MAGIC WORD SAVED GENERAL
Beset by Fierce Kalmucks, He Showed
Wonderful Presence of Mind.

In Napoleon's campaign in Russia
one of his generals, Philippe de Segur,
had a peculiar adventure with a band
of Kalmucks. The Kalmucks are
wandering tribes of southeastern Rus
STA. They are fierce warriors, and
their light cavalry forms an important
part of Russian armies. De Segur's
presence of mind saved him from be-
ing killed by them when the most des-
perate fighting could not have done
so.
The French had attacked a body of
Russians and put them to flight, when
Segur suddenly discovered that he and
a few French dragons had become
separated from the French army and
were being carried away with the re-
treating party.
He and his men were surrounded by
a band of Kalmucks. The situation
seemed so hopeless that the men gave
themselves up and, ~disregarding his
orders, passively allowed themselves
to be struck down. De Segur deter
mined to sell his life dearly and con
tinued to fight. A Kalmuck lance
struck him from his horse. He
Jumped to his feet and, getting be-
hind his horse, continued the struggle.
1t was a hopeless contest, however, and
in a few moments he would have been
killed had not a happy thought occur
red to him.
The Kalmuck leader, a fine looking
Cossack, remained calm while his men
were carried away with the fury of
battle. The expression on his haugh-
ty countenance indicated that he
scorned to murder a vanquished foe,
and from time to time he called, mi
kale, nikale!"
De Segur guessed that this was an
order to cease fighting. He shouted
imperiously to the Kalmucks that sur
rounded him, "Nikale!"
Immediately the fury died out of
their faces, and they paused, motion
less with astonishment. Their fury
once checked, Segur's life was saved
by their chief. ;,
He learned afterward that the word
meant "Do not strike" and that while
the impetuous Kalmucks had not heed
ed the command of their chief they
were puzzled and disturbed at hearing
this word of their native dialect from
the mouth of one whom they supposed
to be an enemy.
De Segur was kept a prisoner until
a a between France and Russia
was arranged some months later

Aiding the Memory.

Concentration and practice are the
chief needs in ~memorizing poetry and
dramatic lines. Competition seems to
be the best way to stimulate concen-
tration in children if they are not suf-
fering from rvo troubles, and
youngsters will find it most interest
ing to do these memory feats against
time. A race to learn a poem may
be as interesting as a hundred-yard
dash. Adding columns of figures
against time is not only interesting
but exceedingly practical.

Blouse Importance.

Smart blouses play a much more i'm
portant part in the wardrobe than
many women realize. A high price is
often willingly paid for a tailored suit
or dress, which is worn with an evil
IDENTIFY machine made, inexpensive
blouse. Such a blouse is entirely out
of keeping with a good costume. Pro-
po~rtionately, blouses do seem expen-
sive, but when it is considered that
they are what first meets the eye
when the coat is removed, it is real
lied that they should be excellent of
their kind.
The woman who can direct a seam
stress or who sews herself, can make
charming tailored as well as chiffon
blouses for less than half what they
cost in the shops.-Vogue.

Odd Wedding Custom.

In northern Africa they have a way
of providing for the wedding of their
daughters that is interesting. When
the guests arrive a mar at the door
receives the pence they give, and
writes it down in a book. This means
that when any of these guests have
a wedding the host will give each of
them just what they gave him. AS
it is, the guests pay for the wedding.
and each one has either already re-
ceived as much as he gives or will re-
ceiye it later on.
