WHEN LOOKING FOR GAS LEAK
Some Safety Rules Which May Do Away With Necessity of Engaging
 Services of Undertaken.

Here is a set of standard instruc- tions for persons who notice gas in their rooms:
 If the smell of gas is strong, first vertiiate the room.
 Then examine the keys to the fix lures, stove or other appliances. One of them may be partly open.
 If fixture or connection is broken be suro your windows are raised i; then go to the nearest phone and mo- tify the gas company.
 After notification try to putty up the leak or close It with any substance that will make an effective plug.
 Never look for leak with a match or any flame, lantern or lamp.
 If you find a person overcome by the gas, throw up the windows, drag the unconscious one to the open air and then telephone a physician.
 After telephoning the physician telephone the gas company and tell of the accident. Most companies now own pulmotors. It is an appliance for pumping gas out of a persons lungs and injecting pure air in it's stead This is an invaluable aid to the doctor.

 against the fort. Several times the attacks were repulsed with heavy los

l MADE TO LAST \ LIFETIME
 Brazilian Ship Hammoeks Not onIy Things of Beauty But Designed to Give Long Service.

The passenger capacity of the yes sels, such as we know, is limited by the number of berths and staterooms the ship contains, but there is no such limitation in vessels that ply along the Amazon river. Staterooms are su, perfluity in them, for they are never used except by the few foreign trav' elers to dress in.
 The passenger capacity of the Bra gillian vessel depends upon the hang ing-room for hammocks on the vessel s deck. Everybody must have a ham, mock, for the staterooms are unbear. able at night. The Brazilian hammock is . thing of beauty. and is costly. too. The best of them cost anywhere from $100 to $500 Those made of maqueira grass, with feather lace trimmings, are deemed the best. It takes several months to make a frst-class hammock. The feather work is artistic and very clearly put together, The feathers are all in the natural colors, taken from birds of most brilliant plumage. The Indians on the upper Rio Negro enjoy a great reputation for this kind of work.
 These hammocks will last lifetime although they may bo in use every day. and washed once a month. The most common kind of hammock is o1 German manufacture, made of cotton and very cheap. These are warm and exclude drafts of air. The best cot ton ones are of native-grown cottor and are made in Maracaibo. The grass hammocks are much cooler than any bed, as they let in the night breezes through their loosely woven meshes.

To Reoroanjze Militia.

The large number of re1ections by government medical experts will very likely result in the complete reorgani- zation of the two regiments of the Arkansas National Guard into one reg. iment. It was stated at the fort that the large number of failures to pass the physical examination will deplete the ranks to such an extent that not more than one regiment will be left after all the rejections are announced In addition to the large number of privates rejected, 19 commissioned Of tcers, including several captains and two majors, failed to pass the physi- cal examinations.
 Officers at the fort stated that the principal cause of so many rejections was due to the excessive use of ci, garettes. They said that more than 200 privates failed to pass the physi- cal examination on account of cigar. ette smoking.
 Nothing definite has yet been given out as to when the Arkansas National Guard will be ordered to the border.

pay attention to him at last Well, then, what , the matter with me, you all ask?' He wanted to hear them say 1t again, and sure enough again they all roared out:
 "sWhat Is the matter, tell us quick ly.' The Giraffe waved his neck about and waited for a moment, and then he said, I've a Sore Foot
 "'Well,' said Mrs. Lion, did ever anyone hear of q Giraffe with a Sore Foot. Poor old u-4affe and it's way off from you too And Mrs. Lion grew quite kindly and sad.
 "Just then the Keeper came in with Supper for the Animals. and when he saw they were all talking to the Gi- raffe he went to his cage first. There the Giraffe put up his Foot and the keeper immediately got some nice lini- ment and bandaged it for the Giraffe and gave him an extra fine Supper.
 "All the evening the other animals talked to the Giraffe to cheer him up and told him of many wild adventures they had had when they were young in the deep forests. And the Giraffe was so thankful he had had Sore Foot and not Sore Throat as all the Animals seemed to think that was something new and interesting"

SICK GIRAFFE.

'Now the Giraffe had been grumbling all day long," commenced Daddy, land the other Animals In the Zoo were all getting very, very tired of hearing him complain.
 And not one of you has asked me what Is the trouble,' whined the Gi- raffe. T think you're all very heart less. If you were sick, yes. any one of you, I'd be so sorry I'd weep. And when I'm sick it makes no difference to any of you And the Giraffe looked very mournful
 "sWhy, Mir. and Mrs. Lion even took nap this afternoon, he continued I'd have thought they would have been too worried for that But no, they slept and slept and didn't wake up un- til they thought 1t was Supper time. And the Tiger over there--he was so very rude-he roared and walked up and down his Cage because he was an- gry. As if anger was anything com pared to feeling sick. And he was an- gry about little Boy who had called him q Leopard by mistakel Such silly thing to be angry about
 We'll said the Tiger who had been listening, as had all the Animals. even though the Giraffe hadn't been talking straight to any of them-but had just been talking aloud about them all, I think that's very mean of you, Gi- raffe. Of course, no one could make a mistake about you. I can't imagine anyone calling you an Elephant or a Rhinoceros or Kangaroo or Mon- key. Because Giraffe looks just like q Giraffe and nothing else. So. of course, you would never have your feeling hurt that way.
 "'Well, very sensible 1t Is of me to look like myself and not like any other Animal. But just the same I'm sick and no one cares, and it's cruel-that's what it is.'
 How perfectly absurd to say 1t is cruel, said Mrs Lion in very roaring voice, for she was angry that the Gi- raffe had talked about the nap she and Mir. Lion had been taking. 1t would be cruel of you to expect us to take an interest in your sickness. We all know you have Sore Throat again--and then you'll tell us how much worse 1t is than any other Animals Sore Throat could ever be because you have such q great, long neck. It would give us the Sore Throat to look up at your neck and to see if we thought It was in such terrible condition. You shouldn't ex- pect so much of your Friends
 "'That's where you're wrong, Mrs. Lion,' said the Giraffe. I haven't the Sore Throat at all.'
 "At that all the Animals looked up in surprise, for to hear that the Giraffe was III without Sore Throat was the strangest thing they had ever heard of.
 "'What is the matter? they all shouted. And you should have heard the roars that came from the Zoo house, as they asked that question.
 "sOh, now you take an interest, do you? said the Giraffe who was get ting very proud of himself that he had made every Animal in the Zoo house

At the Villa Bernotto's.

Look we'll, though, don't I, Miss Smith? White is, after all, the most becoming. But one must have good skin. Mine is still quite smooth. No one would think I had been a year in this dreadful place, would they?"
 "No," was the calm answer.
 Sylvia Arnaud considered herself for a moment longer in the glass. Then her eyes wandered past her own reflection to that of her companion behind her. Miss Smith, in pearl gray dress of severe cut, was more than usually nn- compromising. The soft brown hair had been dragged back and smoothed into order with merciless hand, leav- ing the small, oval face without a softening line. Sylvia laughed gayly. The contrast with her own radiant femininity pleased her.
 Sometimes really think you are not woman at all, Miss Smith," she said quizzically And now I am ready"
