For Nervous Persons.

No one can help feeling nervous 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 us. Here are a
few hints on the subject:
eff people fret you, it is not neces-
sary to be rude to, them. Try, instead,
to avoid them. Don't read books that
irritate you. Books are plentiful, there
fore put away the offending volume
and choose another. If noise at night
worries you, don't let it continue to
do SO. 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 certain things than to
let them irritate you. Such martyr
dom is usually unnecessary and bad
for you all round"

FIND ROMANCE IN GEOGRAPHY
Writer Well Says History of the HUI

Geography is a fascinating study
The history of the human race is
written in large characters on the
earth'S surface for the seeing eye.
Most people know that Pixies peak

daring young officer early in the last
century. But how many know that in
the name of the Bill Williams river
fingers the only memorial to famous
trapper and Indian fighter of Kit Car
sons time, to whom the Rocky noun
tain country was an open book before
even Fremont "blazed the trail'' to the
Pacific. 1t is around Hudson straits
that names cry most loudly of achieve
ment and of desperate need. Fancy
what the Bay of Gods Mercy meant to
the man who first gave it that name!
Or the heartbreaking effort indicated
by Terror Point? Contrast Repulse

implied in Home bay and Cape Com

that found vent in Navy Board inlet,
while Mary Jones bay fairly breathes
a longing for the commonplace COM

RAILWAYS IN SALT MINES
One of the Worlds Wonders Is Stu
= ated Near City of Cracow, in
Austrian Poland.

Writing of the wonderful Wieliczka
salt mines near Cracow in Austrian
Poland, the Manchester (England)
Guardian gives an interesting descrip-
ton of a railway station in the mine.
There are IS miles of pony tramways,
says the Guardian, and % miles of
railway. All these lines and the prin-
cipal passages or streets" meet in a
sort of central cavern Here is cen
trail railway station, with spacious
waiting rooms, Offices and an excellent
refreshment room all complete, all
hewn out of rock salt, and looking, &C
cording to one description, more like
a summer pavilion than a railway sta
ton, with it's latticed galleries and
stately pillars cleaning white and iri-
descent" This is comparatively mod
ern, of course The Oldest building"
in the mine is the chapel of st. An
thony, dating from 1891 1t contains
three affairs, a pulpit and much statu-
airy, all deliberately carved out of rock
salt. But services are now held only
in the more modern but equally elab-
crate chapel of St. Cunigund, which is
entered down IS salt steps. The chapel
is so yards long, and is used regularly
for worship. The ballroom is huge
room, where miners festivals are often
held. A miners orchestra plays regu-
larly in this hall not only for the
dances, but for the entertainment of
visitors, for the mine Is one of the
wonders of the world and is much Wis
tied by tourists.

HAVE MANY FANCIFUL BELIEFS
Bedouin Superstiti0ns, Firmly Rooted,
Are of the Most Peculiar
Character,

Some Bedouin superstitions are
fanciful indeed. They believe that
when a man dies of thirst his soul
goes forth in the form of a green
owl, which flies about above the
desert thousand years, screaming
for water If fish leaps from the
water into a boat where a woman is
soon bear a son. They live in daily
dread of the evil eye; the Arab moth
er fears for her child, lest this curse
descend and blight it's life. Some say
man so possessed has merely to
cast his baneful glance on a bird fly
earth stone dead. If an Arab woman
finds the threads in her "nuttou"-
loom-have become tangled, she
blames the meddlesome evil spirits
Many women have their limbs and
bodies tattooed in fancy designs, as
much as a charm to ward off disease
as for beauty's sake.
Mamma is still much eaten among
Mesopotamian Arabs; the women COL
lect and prepare it from the ground
beneath certain hill trees, whence it
drips. Yet the Arabs-and the Jews
and Chaldeans as well-firmly believe
that this sweet, whitish gumlike food
is cast down from heaven; that it is
the same mama which tradition says
was cast down from heaven for the
children of Israel.-Geograph Mag

East Usinu Western Products.

Americans who have been Influenced
by the Orient to the extent of taking
their tea clear, without milk or sugar,
are now learning that the Occident is
bent on teaching the Chinese to use
milk with their decoction of tea leaves
and condensed milk at that. An en-
terprising condensed milk company is
pushing the campaign, and expects to
be successful. This concern has al
ready introduced condensed milk ice
cream to the Chinese and they like it
so well that many of the restaurants
keep it always on hand. Practically
no fresh milk is to be had in China, al
though the natives seem familiar
enough with the virtues Of both the
fresh and the condensed article.
Canned salmon is another Western
staple that has made decided i'm
preston on the far East.

Kisses for Health.

A doctor, commenting on the health
fulness of kissing, stated that, though
many health reasons have been given
why one should not indulge in a kiss,
little has been heard of the other side.
"The main health reason" he said,
'is that it acts like magic in soothing
down irritable nerves Take, for in
stance, if, on arriving home, you find
your wifes temper rather high. A
prompt and affectionate kiss will dis
pei it, and at the same time save you
from a nerve-racking Mrs. Caudle lee
ture across the tea table.
again, one of the children is peev-
ish. A mothers kiss here will more
often than not soothe down the child's
nerves A kiss acts in some peculiar
way on our nervous system, and it in
voluntarily responds by making us
cheerful.
"a kiss, when installed in bed, will
send the children off into the pleasant
sleep, and if dreams come they will be
pleasant rather than horrible and
gloomy"

WOMEN PRICED AS PROPERTY
Have Definite Value Among African
Natives and Are Treated
Accordingly

Although woman in Africa is regard
ed as property, she has certain rights
which are seldom infringed upon, and
of these the most important is her
right to marry whom she pleases, or
rather to refuse to marry one. who
does not please her, the Southern
Workman says. There are two grim
reasons for this. First, women mar
ried against their wills have been
known to commit suicide Second,
women married against their wills
have murdered their unloved husbands,
usually strangling them when asleep.
And to these reasons may be added
the fear of marital unfaithfulness So,
in forcing oneself upon one of these
women there is liability to great loss
the loss of valuable property or of
no less highly priced life. The young
girls are well cared for, partly that
they may be comely and draw many
suitors. Every girl will tell you frank
ly that she wishes to marry and have
a good husband and children. Every
father is anxious to have his daugh-
tiers marry well. To secure a wife one
must pay a doWry in cattle to the ia
Their, or, should the father be dead, to
the nearest male relative. If a girl is
much sought after her father naturally
asks larger dowry. When a man has
paid part of the dowry the father may
give consent to provisional marriage
and permit the couple to live together.
Should the husband be too slow in pay
ing the remainder of the dowry his
wife is taken from him. Trial mar
riages are common and can be set
aside by either party Their principal
objects in marriage are mutual help
fulness and the perpetuation of the
race

Fear of Poverty,

We have grown literally afraid to
be poor We despise anyone who
elects to be poor in order to simplify
and save his inner life. We have
lost the power of even imagining
what the ancient idealiZation of pow
erty could have meant; the liberation
from material attachments, the un.
bribed soul, the manlier Indifference,
the paying our way by what we are or
do, and not by what we have, the
right to fling away our life at any mo-
ment irresponsibly-th more athletic
trim, in short, the moral fighting shape
1t is certain that the prevalent
fear of poverty among the educated
classes is the worst moral disease
from which our civilization SUFFERS

st. Peters at Rome.

st. Peters at Rome Is a Basilica-
the Basilica Vaticana-but it never
was, and is not now cathedral-the
church where a bishop has his official
see or seat. In Rome it is the Lateran
church dedicated to Christ the Savior,
and In the second place to st. John
Baptist, which holds this dignity.
Hence the inscription which all who
go there may read, Mother and Mis-
tress of All Churches" In the Later
an, not in st. Peters, the pontiff takes
possession of his see; and in it the
cardinal vicar holds ordinations, on
Ember days. People use the word
cathedral very loosely. But there is a
grave error In describing ST. Peters
as ''the Cathedral of Christendom."

Purity of Water.

1t is sometimes useful to be able to
obtain an idea of the purity or other
wise of given water supply without
mourning the expense of a full chemi-
cal and psychological analysis.
Among the constituents of sewage are
phosphates in comparative abundance.
If a clear glass bottle is nearly filled
with the water to be tested a lump
or two of sugar added, and the whole
corked tightly and placed in a sunny
place for two or three days, the water
should remain quite clear. If, how
ever, it contains phosphates in ex-
cess, milkiness will have developed
In 1t, in which case the suspicion of
contamination would be sufficiently
confirmed to warrant full analysis
If the water supply before any more
Of 1t is used for drinking purposes

Character Told by the Fingers

When long fingers with shorter
palm) are knotted at the joints we
find an extreme love for the minor
parts of construction, whether it be
in the building of a bridge or the end
less tasks pertaining to a kitchen.
These persons are also logical, and
not at all Influenced by prejudice or
gossip. They make our best house
keepers, for they are orderly; never
caring how many little things they are
called upon to do and generally doing
them all we'll.
AS scholars they are good mathema-
ticians, making our best accountants.
Many times these hands are found
upon doctors who have taken up some
special branch of study and are max
ing themselves masters of it. These
are our specialists.

REALLY NOT so VERY CRAZY
Man With Money to Invest Might
Have Made Big Profits-Many
Cases on Record.

A man entered picture gallery the
other day and said:
I've got 100000 that l want to
spend In the encouragement of native
art. l want to buy paintings by un-
known painters of talent This will
Melp the painters along, and, if l
Choose wisely, it will be a good invest
ment for me. l put myself in your
hands"
Needless to say the dealer was
more than pleased.
You're a wise man and a good
man." he muttered, and he had al
ready chosen for his patron $50 can
vases, valued at $4,000, when uni
formed keeper entered. The patron
was, alasl insane.
But, dear reader; ere you smile,
stop and ask yourself if that lunatic's
proposition was so very lunatic, after
all
Men go daily to their bankers with
sums far greater than 100000; they
ask their bankers to choose invest
ments for them; and the bankers
choose N G., which later on drops 70
points; and P. D. R., which drops 81
points; and New Haven, which drops
$50 points; and S. o. H, which van.
ishes altogether. Yet the action OF
these men is not deemed insane and
nobody dreams of smiling at it.
Why smile, then, at the lunatic s
action? The Iunatic score of years
ago could have spent his 100000 on
Whistlers at $50 or SIS that are now
worth $4,000; on Illnesses at 500
that have risen to $4,000; on Sisleys
at $3.50 that easily fetch $7,500.--New

SMALL SAVINGS MEAN MUCH
Better for Youth to Shave Himself
Than to Receive 1000 Guineas,
Says Wise Man.

A wise man said $50 years ago that
it was far better for youth to learn
to shave himself than to receive a gift
of one thousand guineas.
The man who shaves himself every
morning saves a great deal of time and
also the income of a good $1,000 bond
for that day.
The man who cuts out one ten-cent
cigar every day saves at least che divi-
dend on IL shares of railroad stock.
One less drink of ordinary whisky a
day would pay for the bread of two per-
sons for that day.
Uncle Sam will carry a letter for
you 10000 miles for what you paid for
that one Turkish cigarette you are
smoking
If you had five morning newspapers
sent to your home you would grumble
at your own extravaganza. That sim
gle cocktail before dinner costs you
more than twice as much.
Russell Sage insisted that the easiest
way he knew to earn the income Of a
dollar for whole year was to walk to
his office once.

A Pathetic Letter.

In the height of the great cotton sit

received by representatives and sena-
tors from Dixie The following one
most pathetic in spite of it's odd spell
ing-was received by Senator Bank
head:
Gents: / have heard that forrein
countries in Europe are issuig merry
forums, so that the people can put off
paying there detts while. Now,
have Is bales of cotton and owe detts
amounting to about six hundred dol
lars. I can't sell my cotton for enough
to pay out and leave anything to pay
taxes and live on next year. If they
are selling merrytoriums in New York

EFFECT OF CLIMATE ON WORK
Much Influence on Ones
Capacity.

In Connecticut the effect of changes
OF temperature from day to day is about
half as great as the effect of the
changes from season to season. If the
temperature remains unchanged peo-
pie work slowly. If it rises they may
be stimulated little. II it falls, on
the other hand, provided the fall is not
excessive, there is decided stimulus
The effect of. constant changes of
weather may be compared to that pro-
duced upon a horse by a good driver.
Ii the animal is allowed to go his own
gait, with no stimulus whatever, he
will travel fast at first and then settle
down to slow pace which will pro-
tract journey Indefinitely If he is
constantly urged to his topmost speed
he may make the first journey quickly,
but he will soon break down The
wise driver urges him for a short time
and then lets him go more slowly. By
constantly repeating this process he
gets good speed from his animal, and
yet prevents him from becoming ex-
hausted. This is what constant
changes of temperature seem to do to
man. Therefore, in reckoning the value
of any climate from the point of view
of efficiency, storms must be rated as
of high value. If they alone were the
controlling element southern Canada,
from Alberta eastward, would possess
the best climate in the world, while the
northern United States, from the Da-
kotas and Nebraska eastward, the
northwestern part of Europe, northern
Italy and Japan would come next. Eng
land, it will be noticed, is the only
country included both in the regions
just mentioned and in those where the
mean temperature of the seasons ap-
proaches the ideal.-Harper's Maya

To Avoid Colds.

A few points to remember If you
would avoid taking cold-never go d.
rectly from a very warm atmosphere
into very cold air. Don't jump from
an overheated room into an ice-cold
bed on a sleeping porch. Remove
your wraps when shopping indoors on
a cold day, or when visiting. Don't
bundle up the throat, but don't expose
the whole chest. Seventy degrees
should be the highest temperature in
your living rooms or offices. Don't over
exert, then expose yourself to infec-
tiop in draft or in hot room that
Is probably full Of disease germs
Keep your vitality at par, avoid people
with bad colds, and you will probably
get through the bad seasons with no
more than a sniff1e or 50.

Finest COURAGE.

The soldier going forth to battle,

wards of our hospitals, the physician
fighting virulent disease, the sailor
in his lifeboat facing death with ev-

ciousness, the missionary facing for
the first time cannibal group,
evince no more courage than the man

SUGARS GREAT FOOD VALUE
Constitutes One-Haf the Nourishinent
That Man Needs, and Has Many
Other Virtues.

Sugar and sugar-forming foods con-
stitute more than one-half of the
nourishment needed by healthy per-
son. As food it possesses well-known
properties, being a nutrient to adipose
tissue and a respiratory fuel, and it is
decidedly diuretic in it's action upon
healthy kidneys. If sugar is withheld,
starves and undergoes progressive and
rapid emaciation. The excessive use
of sugar or sweets IN the dietary is
never advisable, but judicious mix
ture of sugar with the general diet
is necessary to maintain health. Any
one who omits sugar from his diet will
lose in weight, become thin and have
no muscular strength. Sugar gives one
muscular strength. Eating candy is
an agreeable form of sugar. 1t should
not be eaten at all times; if taken be-
tween meals it Is apt to cause indi-
gestion. 1t is always best to eat candy
after meals, with dessert. Growing
children need sweet foods and candy
to help build up their muscular
strength The child's longing for cake
and candy is in reality systematic
demand for food to give it strength.
Let the children have candy at meals,
never between meals Eating too much
of the sweet things, particularly be-
tween meals, causes fermentation in
the digestive tract, and sometimes a
serious illness may result Sugar is
an antiseptic. Burning sugar on a
shovel will destroy unpleasant odors.
For hoarseness and weak voice there
is nothing more comforting than some
thing sweet slowly dissolved in the
mouth.
