Rage Clots Blood.
Those Investigators have discovered
that anger causes the blood to clot very
much more quickly than It does in mo-
ments of coolness or cold -blooded"
calm. This is a wise provision in primi-
tive and Jungle life. Yoked as the saw
ages and the beasts of the fields are
with all sorts Of thorny and Knife-life
dangers, the flint OF life is struck into
many a dangerous spark.
The hermit, the wild lnen of the
woods, the animal driven at bay would
often bleed to death IL their passions
we're not aroused. You must hea. the

hemorrhage ..'
Yet by too violent swiftness, that
which you run at you will lose BY over
running. You must remember that the
fire which boils the liquor until It runs
over seems to increase its portion, yet
wastes It.
Blood poisoning is only the mad rush
of malicious microbes from some
nucleus of invasion such as the tom
sils, the nose, the skin. the alimentary
canal, or elsewhere into the coursing
channels of scarlet and azure.

The original model was develop

The frame Is small. with a crown

crown at the left and drops over

whether I should leave him or try
to win back his love? I love him

anything but helpful. However.
I'll do my best. First Of all. Is

and apoIogized for being late. Just
as II you had been expected to

lady's manners would have become
suddenly subdued and your hus-
band would have looked nothing
less than sheepish.
If the woman Is still In the city.
YOU might adopt similar tactics.

her to come to dinner some night:

BOOK REVIEWS

German newspapers published during
that month his selections. The striking
fact in the whole collection is the re-
markable lack OF news, due to the
strict censorship. 1t Is interesting to
note that the author credits the Ber-
liner Lokal Anzeiger as being nearest
to a semi official organ with inspired
editorials, while the Norddeutsche ALI
gemeine Zeitung, he considers senll-of-
ficial, Of typically Prussian and Mill
,tary tone and with many OF its articles
obviously inserted by the government.
He credits the Berliner Tageblatt with
preaching moderation and Eorwaerts as
a discourager of national hatred. The
book has many elements Of permanent
historical value.

~ HERE was time when
oranges were so scarce that

have as a base. rice flour or rice
powder, which Is extensively ad-
vertised on account Of its smooth
ness and fineness of texture. This
powder. which may be put on so
that IL Is almost invisible, has one
disadvantage. The tiny grains of
rice are small enough to get caught
in the pores, where they are likely
to swell, just the way that rice
does when cooked. The swelling
of the rice powder enlarges the
pores and II Is necessary to use
some sort of an astringent lotion
TO close them again .
The natural complexion Is usual
ly preferable to the effect gained
by liberal use Of powder. Poor
complexions are largely caused by
wrong diet, and a correction OF
ones daily menu will improve the
complexion as a matter Of course.
1t Is possible to use home made
lotions to correct q shiny nose,
which gives most women the ex-
cuse fos using powder.
If II is absolutely necessary to
use powder in treating sunburn,
talcum Is the best. for the grains
are larger and do not clog the
pores to the extent of rice pow
ders.

FISHERMEN LOST IN
CHARLESTON STORM.
NINE OF MOSQUITO FLEET SAID
TO HAVE BEEN DROWNED IN
THURSDAYS GALE.

Charleston, May 2S:-The storm
that swept over Charleston yesterday
played havoc with the mosquito fleet
that puts out from here, claiming
toll of several lives and wrecking a
number of the little craft. One fish
erman reported positively that nine
men had been drowned to his personal
knowledge, saying that the number
may exceed twenty. Various reports
were current, placing the number of
dead at from five to twelve.
Three of the fishing boats made
their way to James Island, three 9TH
ers to Morris Island, two were res
cued by the life.saving crew of the
coast-guard station on Sullivan's Is
land and anumber of the larger boats
made their way to Charleston. Itwas
stated that about twenty-five men,
bers of the crew Were in six boats
that reached James Island and Nor
ris Island. Four men were rescued
by the life-saving crew.
The gale of wind, accompanied by
a high sea, developed suddenly catch
ing the fishing fleet from the shore
and giving the fishermen little warn
ing that such a severe storm was de-
veloping. Not less than five of the
smaller craft were capsized by the
wind and a large humber of the fish
ermen were swept overheard by the
rushing waves.
The amount of damage done and
the number of lives lost could not be
ascertained with any degree of accu-
racy last night. 1t was not known
how many of the boats went to sea
because of the widely scattered places
from which they left. Some sailed
from various places on the Cooper
river, others from the Ashley river
and still others from Mt Pleasant
All estimates agree that there
were more than twenty of the little
vessels that were caught in the
squall. One estimate placed the
number as seventy.fve men.

expenses to pay a 30 dividend for
the first six months of its existence
which is al the rate of Ga a year.
The Richmond bank is the only
one in the whole system which has
accomplished this. and the principal
is the large amount Of

Easy to Destroy Mosquitoes.

No one is especially fond of mos
quito bites, or at least we have not
learned of such a person." writes
Professor ] E McClintock. In fact,
the irritation from mosquito bites is
often intense. The pain may be re-
iieved by wetting the affected area
with diluted ammonia, the ordinary
household ammonia answering the
purpose very. well. But why the
continued annual torment Of mos
quitoes?
These pests do not fly far from
their birthplace, which is some col
lection of stagnant water. This
need not be in pond or swamp, in
fact, it is more often in rain barrels,
open cisterns, tin cans, broken crock
cry, small pools, 'depressions in
caves, or in any other place where a
few wrigglers may exist for a few
days. 1t is far more satisfactory to
prevent the mosquitoes from breed
ing around the home than to be
everlastingly fighting mosquitoes and
doctoring their bites.
Fish, if kept in any small ponds
about the premises. will keep them
free from mosquitoes. Tin cans
and other rubbish should be cleaned
up, wet, damp places drained, rain
barrels and cisterns covered and
pools covered with a film of kero-
sene. A very small quantity of
kerosene is sufficient to kill the
mosquitoes. y C0lumdHs, q. Dis
