Pickinn Pins From Throat.

The swiftness and ease with which a doctor can remove a bone, s pin or other object from the windpipe, esOph- asus or even lung, is often astonishing.
 This is when he uses one of the tubes that enable him to look right down into the organ, see the foreign object illuminated by an electric lamp and in- sert a delicate fOrceps with which to seize 1t and draw it out. Without the use of an endOScOpe there is much dan. ger of injuring the tissues by blind feeling for the offending object.
 THE RAISE IN WATER RATES.
 The items printed from time tC time in the Water Rates column ot Fire and Water Engineering show that the almost universal tendency il toward an increase in the rates for water supplied to consumers. This is not only logical result of the in creased prices of both labor and materials. but is also an aot of wis. dom on the part of the water depart ments and water companies supply ing the municipalities, and is in line with the circular issued by the exc. cutive committee of the American Water Works association, which was published in our issue of May l. There is no doubt that in order to run water departments on a thoroughly business like basis and not to inouI the onHs of deficit at the end of the year, the rise in rates is imperative. @. Much economy in water consumption is being effected by the increased use of water meters and the consequent saving of unnecessary waste and re. duction of pnmpage. but even these will not by any means offset the added increases in the running ex- penses of the water departments. Then, too, with better knOwedge and more scientific methods in water purifioation and Alteration must come added expenses of prov idinR filtration plants. These must be met, and the only way to meet them is by inoreas- ing the selling price of water in order to bring in the revenue needed. It ia just as simple a business proposition as the manufacture and sale of any other commodity.

The Quiet Life.

Often we rebel at what looks to Us like the narr0wncSS and emptiness of our lives. There is so little variety, so little of the unexpected and the dnshing. We forget the lOveliness of gray life-the delicacy, the subtle when experiences come sparSely or fil- tered through long periods of waiting. Quiet lives are more exquisite than crowded ones, just as quiet shadows are more exquisite than crude sunlight.

Teach Children rhrifA

Thrift is very important element ln character. Those who learn to be economical in youth have no difficult ties when they are responsible for the income necessary to maintain home. It is the man or woman that allows want to dominate and lives beyond the income that has difficulties when the income is small. Children should be taught economy and thrift early in life. They should be given a chance to earn and a chance to use their earnings. This will give them respon- sibllity and teach them the worth of money.

Initial Step to Independence.

The fact that well-to-dO people are almost invariably "clOse" and "saving" and usually have that reputation, should be a mighty good pointer for those who are always hard up.

The first time they had a quiet but
determined revolution in Quito, now
capital of the republic the patriots
assembling On August .. 1909. at the
house Of a brave and beautiful wom-
an. Nanueia Canizares. where they
prepared their declaration and chose
officials Of the provisional govern

gathered their forces. Capt. Salinas,
who was in command of the two
companies of regular troops who
guarded the city, went to their bar
racks and read to them the declara-
tion Of independence and won them
over.
They overpowered the bodyguard
of the Spanish governor. Ruiz de Cas-
tilla, early or the morning of August
10. and thus established the first re-
public without shedding a drop of
blood u lasted about a year. when
Castillo succeeded in wrestling the
power from them.

hand to- hand fighting followed.
The bureau adds: For a long time
anti-Semitie feeling was being pro-
voked. The Austrian parliament in
cited pogroms against the Jews to di-
vert attention from the bad conditions
and make the Jews responsible for
them. In the town hall and municipal
council there were similar utterances
and scenes. The Reichpost and other
antf-Semitic papers daily contain ar
ticles exciting the people against the
Jews. while the censor does not allow
