It is said that The great physicians all say that “the strength Of wome'n.is too often a strength of nervous energy, which, while it keeps them up at the time of need, is constantly burning up their vitality. Some day the cord will snap and the woman be made to realize that illjudicious expendiâ€" turc of her nervous energy day after "day has snapped her physical strength to the point of collpase. One excellent way to prevent. this, and the best way in the World to keep the roses Of youth, is to rest wiselyâ€"to rest the mind as well as the body. If you are too active to sit idly at rest a. certain portion of each day, keep a happy, sunny book in which you are interested always at hand byyour bedroom or sitting room couch. Make it a. rule to lie down from fifteen to thirty minutes Read your pleasant book, or, better still, lie idly still thinking over the very happiest things you can bring to your mind. Never thing out the sad, perplexing problems of life While you are having this “rest” if you can help it. This may seem hard to do, but you can train your- .self to it. Think out those hard things when you are up and about. In other words, work hard when you work and finish it up. Then rest thoroughly when you rest. A wo- man who leads a. life of almost mas- culine activity in mind and body .says she finds nothing so good for tired nerves as “eating,” not necesâ€" sarily taking much, but. eating someâ€" thing the moment you feel all tired lout, eating something wholesomeâ€"a ’_glass of milk. or a cup of tea and a. fla'ky piece of bread and butter-â€" whatever your fancy seems to crave, so long as it be wholesome. This simple and attractive rule seems to be proven by the fact that the main aim of all “rest cures" is to enforce eating upon the patient every two hours. Never get too tired at any one time. When you think you are “'tir’d enough" stop, no matter what it is, rest fifteen minutes, comâ€" pletely, then begin again. You’ll find that you are not one-half -,so tired at bedtime if you follow this method. COLLAR suoclcs'rions. A Kid Stock »Collarâ€"â€"_W'hite kid gloves may be cleaned either with milk or gasoline, and the arm pieces converted into a very pretty stock. ,The kid is smoothly drawn over a piece of collar stiffening cut the deâ€" sired shape, and illacllineâ€"stitch-Od with blue silk, a double row at top, centre and bottom; while French knots worked with the same blue silk appear betwoen the rows of stitching. Another of black unâ€" dressed kid, made' of two pairs of short gloves, was sewed together to form a crush collar, and the seams concealed by means of steel beads. A collar of White IIuck towcling, darned solidly with yellow wash silks, is a durable drossaccessory for a child. The collar is cut round with large scallops at the edge. The needle is run under the raised threads without taking the stitches through the cloth, which gives the same apâ€" pearance as the darning stitch, but does not show on the under side and is much simpler and quicker to Work. The ocean wave sofa pillows are made somewhat ill the same way, except that the thread at intervals is carried along for a short distance without being brought under the raised loops on the toweling. The edge of the collar may be bound around with a narrow piece of yel- low silk or velvet on the bias, or merely turned under and stitched down by machine. French Knots and FCathel‘SUtC‘hillg ~â€"~St-archcd white linen collars are decorated with a row of French knots or featherstifclling at the top, as they used to wear them years ago, when even the men appeared with shirt fronts and cuffs decorated in the some Way ill black or white silk. The knots and stitching comâ€" bined form a. very effective trimming for a blue and white striped ging- ham shirtwaist, using thick white linen floss for working. The work is done on the blue stripes, three feather stitches, then three Trench knots, and repeating down the stripe: the next being worked ill the knots alone, and the next in stitches and knots. and so on over the whole waist. The body of the waist may be done after it has been sewed, but the sleeves are easier to work just after they are cut. The turnover collar and cuffs to Wear with the waist are of blue linen, starclled and decorated with French knots at the edge. M iii-LO N DESSERTS . Melon Fruit Saladâ€"Ill the preparaâ€" tion Of the dessert, the melon plays an important part, and it is prepar- ed in many styles. A favorite way to serve is as a- fruit salad. Tllc pulp is cut ill cubes and set on ice to chill. 'It is then sprinkled with k cup powdered sugar to every quart 'or fruit. Pour over it. 1 tablespoon popular. They are very easily preâ€" pared, and‘ are delicious, and there is an infinite variety Of ways for changing their dominating tone. Grapes may be peeled, or peaches pared and cut small and mixed with the melon, and a snowy mound of crcaln,‘ whipped and frozen, can top the attractive dish.

A baby giant has just been pro- sentcd to the Berlin medical faculty for examination. a He is the son of a baker at Driévers, and although only eighteen months old stands feet high, measures 36 in. round the chest, and weighs nearly 98 lbs. The baby giant prattles already. His appetite is tremendous. A special peranlbulator has had to be made for him. SOLD PIG TO SEE SIâ€"llO'W. The authorities of all English tow-n have placed a ban on circuses, on the gromld people One man, they sold his that they tempt poor Oin 1y to spend too much money. most malignant, and certainly the most lurking and . fatal. Unlike most diseases, even those of an ill- fectious or contagious nature, this ravaging scourge does not manifest itself until its victim is hopelessly under its spell. Tile most remarkâ€" able feature in connection with con- sumption and consumptives is the superficial manner ill. which the pub- lic at large regard it. Smallpox, certain fevers, and other epidemics are dreaded and abllorred. Never-- ‘consumption is a giant ill Compari- any of these contagions, mention Of which alarms even the most stoical of persons. Because a consumptive father and grandfather were sufferers, and preâ€" maturely left this life through death by consumption, it docs not at all prove the theory of its being heredi- tary. On the other hand, it is a proof of its infectiousncss. in cases persons have constant interâ€"- course, or even occasional associaâ€" tion. That, in a modern community, such people can exist, and even be considered intelligent, who find a per- son that objects to unsanitary usâ€" ages and habits, an over-fastidious person, or, ashe is more frequently called, a crank. is a Wonder. ~‘I~Iow many do not declare that they see no wrong in the various abominable and unsanitary things we meet' ev- erywhere in life? The unsanitary conditions of some barber shops, for instance, the breathing into a teleâ€" phone. receiver by thousands of perâ€" sons without it ever being disinfectâ€" ed, the pipes, inal cusrom about for I’ROMISCUOUS KISSING! This latter custOm is, perhaps, the most unpal'donablc of all. The in~ nocellt child will. when a youth, or even a man. find himself a physical wreck, undermining in health by the ravages of pulmonary or other tub- ercufosis, as wall as psycologically deranged through his knowing that the grave is his only destiny. There is a penal code dealing with the in- dividual who breaks- a window, or the man who steals a bagatelle from another. But there should be laws, stringent and unrelenting laws, and penalties, for those who, through sheer ’and willful ignorance, cause persons to become victims to the most lurking and most pitiful of disâ€" eases known tO mankind. . It is the duty of the State to protect, its sub~ jects from the promiscuous scatter- illg of the tuberculosis bacilli, and to puniSh the wholesale murderer Dr. C. D. Murray, M.B., physician who spreads the germ. ' to Victoria General Hospital, Hali- son with the mere where smoking of other persons' and the barbarous and crimâ€" of handling the baby fax, N. S., in an address to the Canâ€" adian branch Of the British Medical Association, in speaking of the duty of the State in regard to this dis- ease, says in part: We stand tO-day practically as we did 20 years ago and thosa suffering from tuberculOsis are worse off than formerly, because advanced cases are no longer freely admitted to our general hospitals, while at home they are shunned by panic-stricken friends or relatives. The Dominion and the Provinces have endorsed the policy and ac‘ccptâ€" ed the duty Of restricting the ravâ€" ages of controllable diseases; Surely and privileges of the the duties State in regard to tubucular disease nor can no longer be gainsaid, she the public nor the medical profession longer silently tolerate the neglect to provide and enforce the obviously necessary means for restricting this dangerous and f WIDESPREAD DISEASE. The protection of the citizen is the highest duty of the State; each healthy and wageâ€"earning individual is an asset, valuable according to his capacity for Work. Laws have been enacted to reguâ€" late the sale of poisons, to prevent adulteration of foods, and for the protection of employes against accidents and Oppression. Why should this scourge alone be allowed to pursue its ravages unchecked? Havibg demonstrated the responsi- bility of the State, I would like to suggest the means which I think should be taken to remedy the exist- ing condition of things. 1. As ignorance must bear much at the blame of this dread disease, I hold it is the duty Of the educationâ€" al authorities to provide for the inâ€" struction of both child and adult in the school and lecture hall, as to cause, prevention and cure Of tuber- culosis, not by text-books and speeches containing an exaggerated misstatement of facts, but by an unâ€" biased explallation of the subject, which will leave no room for con- troversy, and appeal to all classes of intelligence. The campaign of edu- cation for the adult might be car- lried out by local and itinerant lec- the pig last month in order to take his turers, who should be thoroughly fa- fnllllily to a Wfild West Show. _+_-_ Four-fifths of the inhabitants of Canada live to the eastward of Lake 1 Superior. miliar with the subject. 2. Laws governing the ventilation, lllcatillg and cleanliness of schools, lchurches, public buildings and workâ€" theless, the statistics of almost all Icountries Show that, as to mortality, shops should be enforced, and EASY PREY OI“ DISEASES. ,4. For the prevention of the spread of the contagion, the State must enact and enforce laws for bet~ for protection of our sources of meat and milk supply; must insist upon all cattle intended for human food being killed in public abbatoirs, that all milch cotvs be frequently inâ€" spected, and housed in clean and wellâ€"ventilated buildings; that all dairies be scrupulously clean; and that tubercular persons be prevent- ed from contact with our food supâ€" ply. ' 5. Tile laWS against cxpcctoratioll in public buildings, conveyances, parks and even streets should. where existent, be strictly enforced, and Where not existent at once enacted. 6. Next I hold the State should provide sanatoria and hospitals adeâ€" quate to accommodate the tuberculâ€" ous sick. These institutions should be graded for the reception and care of the various forms and degrees in which the disease is found. The cur- able cases should be treated separ- ately from those for whom there ‘is no hope. , 7. Notification of the disease in its earliest recognizable stages, must be_ insisted on, and where proper safe- guards and. treatment cannot be so- cured ,at home the subject should be removed to a sanatorium. _.__I.+â€"â€".__ THE EARLY MORNING AIR. 3. Virtue Over That z of Later Hours. Chemists llaVe long ago told us not only what is the exact composition of the air, but also that this com- position is practically constant, whether the air be that near the mountain top or the sea, or from the chemistry would not appear to offer any explanation of the benefit gained from “a change of air." Simiâ€" It Has 'larly everyone knows the sweetness and freshness of the early morning air, attractive properties which disâ€" appear as the day advances, but so far as analysis goes the composition of early morning air is not different from that of air at any other time. It is Well to remember, however, that during the passing of night to day and of day to night several physical changes take place, says the London Lancet. There is a fall in temperature at sunset and a rise again at dawn, and consequently moisture is alternately beillg thrown out and taken up again, and it is well known that change of state is accompanied by electrical phenomâ€" ena and certain chemical manifestaâ€" tions also. The formation of dew has probably, therefore, far more profound effects than merely the moistcning Of Ob- jects with water. Dow is vitalizing not entirely because it is water, but because- it possesses an invigorating action, due partly, at any rate, to the fact that it is saturated with Oxygen, and it has been stated that during its formation peroxide 'of hydrogen and some ozone are developed. It is not improbable that the peculiarly attractive and refreshâ€" ing quality which marks the early morning air has its origin in this way. Certain it is that the bracing property of the early morning air woarsof’f as the day advances, and it is easy to conceive that this loss of freshness is due to the oxygen, ozone or peroxide of hydrogen (whichever it may be) being used up. The difficulty of inducing grass to flourish under a tree in full leaf is well known, and is generally explain- ed by saying that the tree absorbs the nourishing constituents of the Soil or that it keeps the sunlight away from the grass and protects it from rain. It is doubtful whether any of these explanations is true, the real reason most probably being that the vitalizillg dew cannot form upon the grass under a tree, whereas as a rule both rain and light can reach it. Dow is probably essential to the wolf-being of both plants and aniâ€" mals to a greater extent than is known, and the beautiful expression in the prayer book, “Pour upon them the continual dew of Thy blossâ€" ing,” may be remembered in this connection. x CIIILDRIQN IN SOMALILAND. ' Children are regarded as a chief as set in the belongings Of a Somali native, and accordingly there is no such thing as “race suicide" in the eastern horn of Africa. A man may have as many as four wives, and most Of the patriarclls boast of treâ€" mendous families. One Old chief of a tribe near Berbera was the head Of a family consisting Of twenty-three sons, twenty-nine daughters, and 390 grand-children. A father sells his daughters for camels, and Often builds up for himself a fortune in this way. The children are named according to the circumstances of their birth, as Wa 'llcrl‘i (born ill the morning) or Robleh (born in the rain). ~ he and Mr. Balfour, who has similar tastes, exchange their yellowâ€"backed volumes. Sir Hiram Maxim, without whosc gulls no ,army of tO-day could hODK for success, started life with lost than the proverbial fifty cents in hit pocket. When he went out into the world he owned exactly twenty-five cents, and he earned his first wock’s wage as a decorative painter. Mr. Chamberlain’s love of orchids (the white variety in particular) is well known. There have been only tWO occasions on which he has varied his buttonâ€"hole. One was the day he declared himself Opposed to Home Rule, and the other the day he wedded Miss Mary Endicott, tho present Mrs Chamberlain. On both these occasions the orchid was rc~ placed by a bunch of violets. Sir William Soulsby, secretary to a generation of Lord Mayors of Lon~ don, is entitled to Wear a more cos~ mopolitan array of orders than, pcr~ haps, any man in England. In ad-. dition to his Bath dignities he; boasts the orders of the Redeemer, of Greece, . Francis Joseph of Aus- tria, the Servian Orders of Takovo and St. Sava, the Leopold of Belgi< unl,,.the Immaculate Conception of Portugal, the Humane Redemption Of Liberia, as well as the Rising Sun of Japan. . » The Duke of Bucclcuch is one of the six men who OWn between them oneâ€"sixthof all Scotland, and some of the customs still observed on his estates carry us back to the time of Alfred the Great. The Duchess, who is Mistress of the Robes, was an int timate companion of the late Queen, and it was at Dalkeith Palace, where the King stayed the other day, that Queen Victoria presided over the only Drawing Room she ever held in a. private house. Mr. James Guthrie, who became Sir James ' Guthrie at thc’King’s Levee in Edinburgh, is surely the youngest living artist to attain a title on his artistic-merits. "Only a fewnlonths ago he was elected Presidentof the Royal Scottish -Acaâ€" demy as a. still youthfulâ€"looking man in his fortyâ€"fourth year. Sucâ€" cess came to him early, for he went, in for portrait paintingâ€"with a keen insight into character-and his repu- tation grew so rapidly that he was an Associate Before he had reached his thirtieth year. , I: Miss Emma Calve, was born in Aveyl'on, her father being Spanish,‘ her mother French. There she led a healthy, Openâ€"air life till the good: nuns at her convent school discoverâ€"i ed that she had a voice which was, worthy of being expensively trained; She has a farm. now in her own- country, and there she spends her happiest hours. She tells with glee Of one Old farmer who said 'to her that he wished he could “hear her sing, not. 'scream,” that being his way'of expressing the fact that he took no pleasure in the operatic style of singing. The Duke Of Parma is richer ill the possession of children than any other, head of an eminent family. His last‘ child is the nineteenth; and what is more surprising is that all the nineâ€" teen branches of the House of Par- ma are alive. The Duke has married twice. Ilis first wife, the Princess‘ Marie of Bourbon, bore him’ eightl children; the eldest, a daughter, inl 1872. His second wife, the Infanta.’ Mariaâ€"Antonia of Portugal, has pro‘i scnted him with eleven children. As‘ all his grownâ€"up daughters are still’ unmarried, the princely Olive branch~. es must thickly throng his table. When Lord Kelvin was known as SirWilliam Thomson he was Proâ€"- lessor of Natural Philosophy. at, - Glasgow University. His classesI were not exactly models of (decorum, and old students tell the story of how a certain clever definition of his provoked his class to applause. ThisI brought from Sir William a cry of “Silence!” He often had to repeatl the definition, and always there fol-' lowed the applause and the “Sil- ence!” One day the students, in! league together, . omitted the usuall cheer, and caught the Professor! finely, for at the close of the senâ€"l fence he shouted “Silence!” to the: silent benches. Sir William Allan, l\l.P., for Gatesâ€"i head, England, is as proud of hisf ancestry as if the blood of all the: Howards ran ill his wine. “I come‘ Of a family of workers,’ he says;' “my father Was an engineer, and myf 7 grandfather and his father and grandfather were nlillwrights, so that I was born a mechanic; and I Was only a boy of ten when I began to follow ill the steps of my ancesw tors.” Although he worked every. day from six ill the morning till six at night, and often until midnight, he still found time to work with his ,slafe and school books by the light} of a candle.
