SLEEP AND GOOD HEALTH.
Proper Rest 10 Essential to Bodily and
Montal Visor.

High strung nerves, stomach trou-
bic, headaches and general i'll health
may all result from sleeping under
poor hygienic conditions. 1t makes
little difference upon what you sleep
/ provided you are accustomed to that
kind of bed and awake the next
day refreshed and fit. But if you
would rest well and get most out Of
your sleep the body should have
some preparation before retiring.
Too many people tumble into bed
with body truly filthy and skin
very little more active than rawhide.
The waxy materials from the skin
glands become mixed with sweat
and dust during the day, and when
this mixture becomes dry the pores
are closed up and become diseased
and inactive.
Good health cannot continue in
definitely under these conditions,
and if the wastes are not properly
got rid of the sleep will be restless
and fitful. A bath of some kind
will well repay the trouble not only
at the time, but in helping to keep
the internal organs healthy, be-
cause an active skin will do its share
in clearing up the debris of the day
just past.
If you must keep all the other
windows closed tight, for goodness
sake open the windows Of the bed
room. Night air is dangerous? !?
One would think all air was danger
Gus the way most folks shut it out
Of the house.
There is every reason why you
should keep the bedroom windows
open, and, except in rare instances,
there is no reason why they should
be closed, even in the coolest win
ter. If drafts from open windows
are Objectionable the location Of the
bed should be changed.
Unfortunately houses have not
been built for comfortable living.
Get your windows down from the
top in the bedrooms and nail them
down so that they cannot be closed.
If you cannot live in the fresh afr
this world is not the place for you.
After you have learned to sleep in
the pure air you will have fewer
bodily ailments. The great sacrifice
Of useful lives to tuberculosis would
not occur if the sleeping rooms had
the sash entirely removed instead of
being closed tightly.-Dr. Julian
Clarke in Farm and Home.

Accepting the Inevitable.

Wonderful are the Hindus for
accepting the inevitable. Tell one
of these that he must take castor
oil and he will drain the oleaginous
cup to the dregs and smack his lips.
Tell him that his leg must be am
putated and he will present the limb
for dismemberment and smile as he
sees it severed. Tell him that he is
to be hanged and with no touch of
emotion whatever he will reply, "Jo
hookm" ("Whatever is ordered"),
just as if he had been told that he
must have his corns cut.-London
Standard.

Scotia's Firebrand Siunal.

Crantara was u military signal
employed by the Scottish highland
chiefs. 1t was a fircbrand or wood
en- cross, which after being dipped
in the blood of goat was sent by a
swift footed herald, who delivered
it without a word save the name of
the place of rendezvous. The fleet
est runner of that hamlet was in
stantly dispatched with the signal to
the next, whence it was borne to a
third, and so on until every village
within the chiefs domain had re-
ceived the summons. 1t was last
circulated in 1745.

Good Actions.

Every good act is charity. Giving
water to the thirsty is charity. Re-
moving stones and thorns from the
road is charity. Exhorting your fell

Smiling in your brothers face is
charity. Putting a wanderer in the
right path is charity. A mans true

Laughter, while it lasts, slackens
and embraces the mind, weakens the
faculties and causes a kind of re-
missness and dissolution in all the
powers Of the soul, and thus far it
may be looked upon as weakness
in the composition of human nature.
But if we consider the frequent re-
liefs we receive from it and how
often it breaks the gloom which is
apt to depress the mind and damp
our spirits with transient unexpect-

SURGERY BY WIRELESS.
How q Human Life Was Saved BY
Long Distance Treatment.

A perplexing medical problem
was picked up one day by the wire
less man of the steamship Paris
nina while crossing the gulf Of
Mexico. A bad accident had be-
fallen the patient in this case, his
foot was crushed and nearly sever
ed from his leg, and only surgical
operation could save his life.
The wireless call came from the
island of Suma, well out of the path
Of regular ships and hopelessly far
from any shore station. Here lived
small colony, Crusoe fashion, en-
gagged in mining phosphates. An
occasional tramp steamer was their
only means of travelling to and from
the mainland, and there was no doc
tor in less than weeks sail. Suma,
luckily, had one modern convent
ence--a powerful wireless station
and this had flung the call for help
far and wide across the gulf. The
patient meanwhile was rapidly grow
ing weaker from the loss of blood.
The officers of the Parismina held
a hasty consultation. The island
was just 40 miles away and off the
course, and it would mean loss Of
time and money to turn about.
"Leave this case to the wireless
operator and me-" said the ships
doctor.
A wireless message was thereupon
sent out, signed by Dr.. G. s. Carter
Of the Parismina, asking for all de-
tails Of the patients condition. All
this was but the work of a few min
utes. The doctor transferred his
Office to the wireless room in order
to save time in communicating with
his case. The reply came back di-
rectly. The toes were held only by
a few ligaments, and the patient
was weaker. His pulse was given
and his temperature. Then the doc
tor set to work.
A long wireless message told the
amateur surgeons just how to pre-
pare strong antiseptic and wash
the wound. This was done, and the
island station stood by for further
orders. A still longer message was
then clicked off, describing just how
to cut away the injured part and to
bind the arteries with ligature to
prevent the loss of blood. There
was an anxious interval in the wire
less booth awaiting the reply from
Suma. The next message to the
ship told that the hemorrhage had
ceased and immediate danger was
over.
There remained, however, the
danger of infection, and the doctor
of the Parismina directed that regu-
lar readings be made of the pa
tents temperature and his condi-
tion reported at frequent intervals.
He was thus able to watch his pa
tient closely for any symptoms Of
blood poisoning. The wireless treat
ment went on continuously until the
steamer was 420 miles away, when
DR.. Carter was able to dismiss the
case.-From "The Wireless Man."
