the somewhat startling discovery that
it takes two or three times as long
thoroughly to cook a jrint than is gen
orally supposed.
A large joint of salt beef had been
three and a half hours in the pot. He
took it out, tried its temperature, and
found that the center had not yet come
anywhere heal to boiling point.
Then he tried a 10SFound ham and dis
covered that, after it had been boiling
steadily for an hour, tie temperature in
the middle had not reached 14Q degrees
Fahrenheit.
The Importance Of this discovery lies in
the fact that it takes a temperature of DIT
least l40 degrees to kill disease germs,
and as We aH know meat may, and some
time does, contain a variety of danger

A CUP OF TEA.

The cup of tea with which you re
fresh yourself after your work, has
been handed down to you through many
generations, and its stony is one of
the romances of beverages. Z
The Chinese drank tea in the fourth
century. valuing it for relieving fatigue
~delighting the soul, strengthening the
will, and repairing the eyesight." 1t
was drunk by the Taoists as an ingre-
dent in the elixir of Immortality. The
Buddhists used it during their long
period of meditation to prevent drow-
siness. And it must effectively have
done so, since their particular concoc-
ton was boiled with rice, ginger, salt,
rang or lemon peel, spices, and some
times onions.
In Japan, tea is practically a religion.
There are special ceremonies in con-
nection with it and special buildings
in which it is drunk.
Tea has been praised and condemned,
and history records that it vas ever
denounced as "a filthy custom" But
it has survived for sixteen hundred
years 1OtW'

WHY YOU ARE WATERPROOF.

The human skin. which forms a pro
~tective covering over the whole OF the
body, consists of two layers, an outer
one and an inner one.
The epidermis. or outer skin, is SC
constructed that no moisture from out
side can penetrate it so long as the skin
itself is not torn or cut.
At the same time the pores OF the
skin are so formed that the sWea, is
freely discharged through the SKIN thus
ventiIating the body and keeping it at
an ever temperature.
If someone could invent a material
possessing the properties of the human
skin, a material which would keep out
all moisture, however heavy the down
pour of rain, and yet allow for the free
escape of the heat and moisture of the
body, his fortune would be made, -EV!

that an anti-Japanese agitation has

is the subject of prolonged discussions

WASHINGTON, May 12.-One

who was to revolutionize the care of

genius for organization, and dynamic,
tireless personality were to make
nursing an honored profession Tor
women.
Her death, after life of achieve
ment, came at the age of 80, August
13, 1910, four years before the world
war broke out, which was to prove
her invaluable service to humanity.
The Crimean war in 1854, was
her first big work. She brought to
it, with her cheer and personality,
the first trained nursing.
"She was wonderful at cheerln

a British soldier in the Crimea.
."Before she came" wrote arother
soldier, "there was cussin' and swear

Opposed by her family in her de-
sire to become nurse, she had final
ly taken three months training in
the School of Deaconesses at kalsers-
werth, Germany, the only place IN
Europe at that time where women
could receive training as nurses with
out arousing great criticism. Fol
lowing this, she became superlntend-
