Surgeons First Aid.

This is the sad story of a man who
was rendered hors de combat, at his
first drill. He had joined the o. T. C.
He was anxious to be as smart as his
more experienced comrades. In the
endeavor to give an extra smart salute
he managed to d~islocate his shoulder.
Happily there were some medical stu
dents in the company who contrived
to replace it. One consoled the suffer
err by telling him a classic medical
story. To put a shoulder back the
surgeon puts his foot against the pa
tents armpit and pulls strongly at the
arm. A student had done this, when
the examiner said: Boots, sir! How
dare you keep boots on" The stu
dent meekly bent down and began to
unlace the patients boots.-Manches

A Discovery in Steel.

A Sheffield firm has introduced
.eTirth's stainless" steel, which 1t
claims is nonrusting, unstainable and
untarnishable. This steel is espe-
cially adapted for table cutlery, as the
original polish is maintained after
use, even when brought in contact
with the most acid foods, and it only
REQUIRES ordinary washing to cleanse.
1t is claimed that it retains a keen
edge much like that of the best double
shear steel, and, as the properties
claimed are inherent in the steel and
are not due to any treatment, knives
can readily be sharpened on a steel
or by using the ordinary cleaning ma
chine or k%nifeboard. 1t is expected
it will prove a great boon, especially
to large users Of cutlery, such as no.
tells, steamships, restaurants. Inc
price of this steel is about twenty
six cents per pound for ordinary
sizes, which is about double the price
of the usual steel for the same pur-
pose. 1t also. costs more to work up,
so that the initial cost of articles
made from this new discovery, it is
estimated, will be about double the
present cost, but it is considered that
the saving of labor to the customer
will more than v the total cost OF
the cutlery in the first twelve months

MUST GUARD AGAINST STRAIN
Too Much Care of Health Cannot Be

After making a study of the as stu

their way through, DR.. William f.
Waugh, emeritus dean of the college,
writes to the Medical Record that the

Doctor Waugh goes on to 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

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 to steady it when
it is still, and are raised when the
device is in motion. The motive pow
err 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 pet
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
geniousIy constructed with a set OF
rollers that revolve against the inner
side of the big wheel. In this man.
ner the frame remains upright while
the wheel revolves. The latter is OF
aluminium and has a diameter OF 81
inches. It's circumference is protect
ed by a solid rubber tire.

War and Copper.

Since the commencement of the
twentieth century nearly 5000, 900 tons
of copper have been extracted from
their ores, and have been consumed in
the chief manufacturing countries of
the world, and now the demands Of
var are further diminishing the
worlds copper supplies. The value of
this metal, at an average price of ECO
per ton for the whole period, is E480,-
100000, or nearly two thirds of our ma
tional debt. How long can the earth
continue to supply this enormous
amount of copper, or to keep pace
with the increasingly rapid growth in
the demand of the red metal? 1t would
certainly seem quite probable that
within the next twenty years all the
known" ore reserves of the existing
mines will be worked out, and that un-
less new ore deposits of vast extent
are discovered, copper will become one
of the rarer and more costly metals be.

WHEN KINGS WERE FIGHTERS
In the Old Days Rulers Were mo-
Kept Out of Battle, But Led
Their Soldiers.

The tendency of ears kalSerS, kings
and other po%tentates to get into the
European war personally Is marked
Several times it has been necessary TO
pull the kaiser off the firing line. King
George, beyond all doubt, is just as
brave and the czar is known to have a
similar nankering for the trenches. AS
for the king of Italy, if his country
were to enter the war it would be en-
tirely impossible to keep the gallant
Victor Emmanuel II out of the first
fight that happened, with his inherit
ance from a long line of fighting kings,
and particularly from his father, King
Humbert, whose personal intrepidity,
shown at Novara and elsewhere, over.
came all dynastic objections to his ex.
posure to bullets and bombshells.
1t must indeed be CALLING to the EN-.
perors and kings to have to keep out
of these scraps. In the old days it was
always the business of kings to lead
their troops IN the very forefront OF
battle. Consider Richard Occur de
Lion, for instance. He fought day aft
er day in the Crusades. performing
prodigies of valor. Even Richard III,
the alleged hunchback, stood or rode
for hours in the front rank, slashing
and spearing and beating down all OPP
position. In those days a king had to
be a fighter. In other words, every inch
a king.

PLANTS WITH SNAKE FANGs
Many Are Capable Of lnflictins
Wounds as Fatal as Are Those
of Deadly Reptiles.

Plants that secrete poison when
touched and infict a wound almost
as dangerous as a rattlesnake bite are
one of the features of some tropical
jungles. The most common of these
poison plants is the Jatropha urens,
known in Panama and other parts OF
Central America as the "ortiga bravo"
Che cruel nettle). This plant is
easily recognized and is instinctlvely
stunned by the native animals.
Trunks, leaves, flowers and fruit OF
the plant are covered with singing
hairs, which are in effect long tubes
that are very brittle and break at the
lightest touch. The poison is pro-
duced by a cell which, during growth,
swells up, forming a goblet-shaped
bulb set into the surrounding tissue.
When the hair is touched it breaks in
an oblique direction, forming a an
nula which enters the skin, and the
poison is discharged directly into the
wound. the action being much like
that Of the poison fang of a snake.
The sting of this plant is painful in
the extreme, but seldom fatal. Many
other tropical plants have such dead
Iy singing hairs that the poison is
sufficient to kill a man, eve in small
.doses.-Popular Mechanics.

Best Hour for Work.

1t is a curious fact in psychology
that nobody can stay at the same
mental and physical level for twenty
four hours together. In the morning
you are more matter of fact, for in
stance, than later in the day. 1t is in
the morning that the best brain work
is done, too-brain work of the sort
that requires industry and clear think
ing. And it is about eleven in the
morning that our body reaches it's
highest point of energy. In other
words: you are stronger, though al
most imperceptibly, at eleven in the
morning than at three in the after
noo You reach the highest point
twice in the day, for about five in the
afternoon the muscular energy has
risen again. But from five onward it
declines steadily all through the eve
ming, and on till between two and three

FRuGALITY ON THE FARM
Seems to Be Generally Recognizes
That Agriculturist Is Seldom .
Spendthrift.

: The simplicity, frugality and tnrlit
of life in the country, pictured as fol-
lows by Archbishop Messmer, who EVIL
IDENTIFY is fond of his subject as well
as intimately familiar with 1t, makes
a striking contrast with the wasteful
extravaganza seen in the cities:
Country life seems to be partlcu-
larly productive of habits of frugality
and economy. AS a rule, you do not
see much high life on farms; what
there is comes from the city. You see
not many dainties on the farmers Ia
BILE. A good, substantial meal of coun-
try products, bread of his own baking,
ham of his own smoking, good water
from his own well, and perhaps some
hard cider from his W press-thats
all he wants. Economy-did you ever
hear of a farmer spendthrift? He is a
rare bird. Is it not proverbial that
nothing is so hard as to pull a dollar
from a farmers pocket? He will give
YOU bushels of oats or potatoes, a sack
of cabbageheads, a chicken or even a
goose. a ham, or a mutton-leg-all
things that you cannot easily take
along; but cash, oh, you must please
wait until he has sold his stock, or
grain or potatoes. Well, let us admit
that this may be a little overdone-
the fact remains hat country folks are
known all over the world as a saving
class-far more than city folk. If 1t
happens that a farmer has got some
money, he is very slow in putting IL
out on speculation, he is afraid OF OIL
and mining stocks. He puts 1t in the
bank, or, better still, or good and sale
mortgages. He saves.

Exceptions in the cases of such Sc
mitic nations as the Jews, Bedouins
and Edomites it is difficult if not i'm
possible to trace any connection be-
tween the world nations of today and
those mentioned in the Scriptures. The
Bible is in great part a history of the
family of Abraham and of one rather
contracted orne of the earth, and
nowhere processes to instruct in de-
tails of chronological or any other sci
ice except that of theology. The
world has generally agreed to derive
the black from Noah's son
Ham, the Mongolians from Shem, and
Caucasians from Japhet, and beyond
that (even in that all are not agreed

Dissipation.

l think sometimes that our common
definition of dissipation is far too mar
row. We confine it to crude excuses
in the use of intoxicating liquor or the
crude qualification of the passions;
but often these are only the outward
symbol of a more subtle fsorder. The
things of the world-a thousand clam
oring interests, desires, possessions
have got the better of us. Men be-
come drunken with the inordinate de-
sire for owning things, and dissolute
with ambition for political office. 1
knew a man once, a farmer, who de-
bauched himself upon land; fed his
appetite upon the happiness of his
home, cheated his children of educa-
ton, and himself went shabby, book
less, j~oyless, ~comfortless, that he
might buy more land. 1 call that
dissipation, t~oo!-From "Hempfield,"

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.. H. 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
I'D whatever infectious diseases are
going about. Despite regular HE,
good meals. discipline and sanitation
the infectious diseases attack. them.
But in the trenches they are compare
lively isolated. and since infected SOL
diers are not allowed there, those on
the firing line have little chance to be-
come infected at all. Such injuries
as cold. starvation, strain can produce
are. of course, suffered, but infectious
diseases are not included in this llst'
Parallel cases in civil life are not un-
common. and everyone knows OF ram
lilies who live like pigs, yet are never
sick. while other families living under
apparently the best conditions are
more or less constantly infected with
one epidemic disease after another
Careful investigation always shows
that the former escape, because they
do not happen to be exposed to infec
ton.

Cost Of Big Guns.

The cost of the immense Krupp
guns is not known outside a certain
circle; nor is there data available to
show what it costs to fire them. How.
ever, one may form a conjecture from
figures in the United States ordnance
reports. If a three-inch battery costs
$4,000 and fires a 15-pound ~projectile,
at a cost of SIS for each shot; a six
inch battery costs $3.50, 900 and fires q
1O8-Iound ~projectile, at, a cost of $50;
a 16-inch gun throws a p~rojectile
