gale, has, at one time or another OF
her life, charge Of the personal health
Of somebody, whether child or invalid
lin other words, every woman is a
nurse. Every day sanitary knowledge
or the knowledge Of nursing, or, IN
other words, of how to put the con.
stitution in such a state as that II
will have no disease or that 1t can
recover from disease, takes q higher
place. It is recognized as the knowl
edge which every one ought to have
distinct from medical knowledge
which only a profession can have.
If, then, every woman must at some
time or other in her life become q
nurse-namely, have charge Of some
body's health-how immense and how
valuable would be the product Of her
united experience if every woman
would think how to nurse.

Why Are Fruits CoIored7

The attractive and appetizing out
ward appearance Of most fruits is gen.
orally explained by supposing that its
function is to attract animals, which
eat the tieshy portion and carry the
seed away from the parent plant, thus
aiding the distribution of the species.
The red cheeks Of peach are SO en-
ticing that this explanation probably
finds acceptance. But why that bril-.
liant red color where the flesh meets
the kernel? The bird that pecks at
the flesh of the fruit does not strike
this colored layer until the work is
practically accomplished.
Certain trees that furnish the So
called dye woods deposit pigment by
the hundredweight within their stems.
The woad or indigo plant and several
others contain a substance known as
"indican,' which is normally color
less, but is transformed by fermenta-
ton and oxidation process into deep
blue indigo. This case is particularly
puzzling, since the color of the dye
stuff is not even developed in the liv-
ing plant.

French Settlers Founded Dee Psres
Thirty.Five Years Before
Ste. Genevieve.

Although Ste. Genevieve generally
IL held as the first white settlement in
Missouri, it is probable that French
settlers lived within the present state
limits IS years before Ste Genevieve
was founded.
The very first settlement. it is sup
posed, was Des Peres, at the mouth OF
" creek by that name about six miles
1outh of st. Louis. 1t was founded by
Jesuits. Austin, in 1897 quizzed the
oldest inhabitants at Kaskaskia They
had heard, from their parents, Of Des
Peres. Beck takes this view in his
gazetteer of Missouri.
The settlers found Des Peres I'm.
healthy and moved across the river
and, Is miles south. Later they went
to Kaskaskia. Credit Is given to the
story by the fact that Roman coin,

FROM THE GATES OF DEATH
Aged Collector Threw or infirmitiea
at Sight Of Object hs Desired
to Possess.

What the passion for collecting 10
NO one except perhaps the born col
lector can really know. Sir Martin
Conway, in THE Sport of Collecting"
writes:
Il once knew an aged collector who
was suffering all the ills that nature
accumulates on the last years of some
nonagenarians.
His sight was feeble; he was deaf:
he was often racked with pain. It
seemed evident that his end was at
hand. His days and nights had to be
spent in an armchair, and each gasp
ing breath seemed likely to be his
last.
ITO him entered a dealer of his ac-
quaintance with splendid K'ang Hsi
Famille verte vase, which the old man
had long wished to possess. The sight
Of it revived his forces; his breathing
cleared; he sat erect in his chair, and
presently. in the excitement Of the
bargaining, was upon his feet striding
about the room.
THE struggle and the victory re-
vived him, and he lived on for several
years before death finally won him
and the British museum entered upon
its inheritance"

Europe's Population.

People are in the habit of thinking
Of China as the most densely popu.
lated land in all the world. The great
loss of life which usually attends
floods in China helps to maintain this
idea. Few people realize that Eu.
ropes population is slightly denser
than that of China.
According to census, the Inhabitants
Of China number 439, 100000. As China
is about one-tenth larger than Europe,
the density of population of the two
slightly favors Europe.
