Famous Woman Inventor.

Miss Margaret e. Knight, who died
recently. is an example of woman
whose brain could work as readily on
mechanical lines as on household
lines. 1t is said that Miss knight
patented 81 inventions and that her
picture has been hung in the patent
office In Washington.
Miss Knight may have been the
youngest inventor among women, as
she invented. when she was twelve
years old. a stop-motion device for
preventing the steel-tipped shuttles Of
mill looms from falling out and in
1uring the operators.
One may invent hourly. and yet pro-
duce nothing practical, but the true
test Of Miss Knight being a success
full inventor is answered by the fact
that most Of her patented inventions
were taken up by manufacturers. A
machine she invented for making and
folding squarebottomed paper bags In
1871 Is still In use, and tin can which
she invented only a few years ago
was at once taken up by several can
ners. Most Of her inventions related
to rubber, cotton and shoe machinery.

STICK TO 1T
Until Coffee Hits You Hard.

It is about as we'll to advise people
to stick to coffee until they get hit
hard enough so that they will never
forget their experience.
A woman writes and her letter is
condensed to give the facts in a short
space:
Il was a coffee slave and stuck to It
like topper to his cups notwithstand.
Ing frequently had severe attacks Of
sick headache; then l used more cof.
fee to relieve the headache. and this
was we'll enough until the coffee ef-
feet wore off.
Finally attacks Of rheumatism be-
gan to appear. and ultimately the
whole nervous system began to break
down and l was fast becoming q

coffee and take up Postum. This was

BRINGS DEATH TO SWIMMERS
Gold Water Penetrating the Ear De-
elared to Be One Source Of
Great Danger.

Sudden death OF swimmers has new
er been explained satisfactorily, but
It is generally assumed that 1t is due
to cramps that affect the respiratory
muscles. The Medical Record says
there Is another theory that has new
er had the attention 1t merits" This
Is that cold water penetrating the ear
sets up an irritation In the delicate
passages of the inner ear. It cites an
address delivered by Doctor Guettich
before the Berlin biological society. In
which he revived this theory.
The irritation of the labyrinth Of
the inner ear by cold water might
cause sudden paralysis. just as a
shock to 1t through a sharp blow on
the chin will cause a knockout" The
symptoms OF the swimmer and the
lighter are similar; they can make mo-
tions but cannot direct them; they
may become temporarily unconscious.
In the case OF the swimmer, OF course,
drowning follows unless some one
helps him.
The Medical Record says that per-
sons with perforated ear drums are
those chiefly menaced by this acci-
dent. although II may occur to others.
And this In spite Of the fact that chill
dren with large perforations of the
ear drum often swim and dive with
lmpunity.

Credits Main Demand.

1t has long been recognized that the
crux of the difficulties in the way OF
commerce between the United States
and other nations lies in the question
of credits. South and Central Amer,
lean buyers have been accustomed to
seek and easily obtain long term cred
Its in Europe.
At present bankers OF the United
States do practically no business d.
rectly with South America and for
eign exchange with countries is car
ried on with London. Largely to this
has been attributed the comparatively
small amount Of trade between the
United States and her next door neigh
Dor to the south.
Officials who discussed the situation
hope to see an exchange of views at
the forthcoming conference that will
lead to many connections between
houses in the United States and those
in the principal South American coun-
tries with more branches OF American
banks there.

Not until the last CULVER had left the
body over him did he pull himself out
from under her chest and forelegs He
had killed rabbit that day and was
not hungry. So he sat back in the
snow and waited, while the ravenous
pack. tore at the dead doe. After a
little he came nearer, nosed in be-
tween two of them, and was nipped for
his intrusion.
AS Kazan drew back still hesitating
to mix with his wild brothers, a big
gray form leaped out of the pack and
drove straight for his throat He had
just time to throw his shoulder to the
attack, and for a moment the two roll
ed over and over in the snow They
were up before the excitement of sud
den battle had drawn the pack from
the feast. Slowly they circled about
each other, their white fangs bare,
their yellowish backs bristling like
brushes. The fatal ring of wolves
drew about the fighters.

And Just then-really I'm not ex-
aggerating a bit--If it didn't begin to
rain! Now, Of course, rain couldn't
hurt Alice any. for she was a duck
and was used to the water, but she
knew it would spoil her new bonnet.
So she took it off and laid it under a
big burdock plant leaf near the pond,
to keep the flowers and ribbons dry.

Alice. after a while. Il want to go

bonnet for fear something would hap

Then, in little while, oh, maybe
half an hour or so, all at once as
quick as a wink, along came Mooley-
dolly, the big brown COW. Mooleyooly
walked up to the burdock leaf, under
which was the new bonnet, and
Mooleyooly saw the pretty yellow
flowers on it. and she saw the blue
flowers on it and she saw the red
flowers on it, Then Mooleyooly said,
as she licked her lips with her red
tongue:
= What have we here? 1t looks very
nice" .@.s>s-
1T, is NICE" answered Alice proud

even a COW, admire her bonnet.

with buttercups, and daisies, and

peoples growing In it. Oh, very fine
indeed. Why, those flowers are real

at the new bonnet under the big lear.
