Doctors in all parts of the country

and leave the system in q run down

THE DOOR OF SPICES.

Often Used by Writers to Stimulate
Their Imagination.
On some portions Of the globe spices
arc worth more than gold or silver.
I'm the arctic region spices are es-
sential to health and happiness" writes
an explorer. "A dash of pepper, q
pinch of ground cinnamon, a little nut
meg or a pinch Of ginger root revives
the jaded appetite wonderfully in the
north. have seen shipwrecked sailors
fight over an ounce Of spices with
more ferceness than they ever did for
money"
The psychological effect Of spices is
Of more importance than the physiolog-
ical. Many writer's have confessed
their inability to write without the
odor Of spices in their rooms. One
great musician composed his master
piece under the influence of cinnamon
and cloves steaming in kettle of pre-
serves in a neighbours kitchen. There
after he composed only when steamed
cloves and cinnamon were on hand.

lent poison for another. In the annals
Of insane asylums there are many cases
on record where the odor of cloves,
cinnamon, pepper, allspice or ginger
has driven patients into violent par
oxysms.
Yet all the world loves spices. In
tho foor that tho aOurco Of auDnlV
would eventually become exhausted
chemists have sought to make spices
synthetically. They have succeeded In
a number Of instances to such an ex-
tent that cheap authorizations are some
times used.-EXchange.

The Fate That Firemen on Warship
Are Liable to Meet.
The soldiers who fight with least rec
ognition in the battles at sea are the
stokers of the destroyers running at
full speed. Eight men work under the
command Of stoker petty officer in a
space so narrow that movement Of any
kind seems impossible. There IN fur
mace in front and one in the back.
Sandwiched in between is a maze of
levers, pipes, pumps and gear.
Yet within these close quarters the
stokers find space to perform their
heartbreaking toll in an atmosphere al
most too hot to breathe, says the Pop
ular Science Monthly. When the men
are at their posts the iron hatch is
closed down, and the air sucked in
through a ventilator has to pass
through the furnace before it gets to
them.
So long as the pumps work well and
the evapOrated water is displaced with
automatic regularity by fresh neither
the tubes nor the boiler casting can
get dangerously hot. But sometimes
without apparent cause the water SLOW
~ descends below the level. Some
times the cause of mischief is leak
age-a pipe broken or joint strained
that allows the water to escape.
If it can be remedied, well and good
But If not and the water continues
to drop steadily the stoker petty officer
has but one duty to perform-to keep
the hatchway from being opened by
the frenzied stokers, thus allowing
the flames to escape and destroy the
entire vessel. The heroes who perish
in the stokeholds like so many rats
caught in a fiery trap are not even
listed.
