I had-heard things about that pesthouse. Maybe they wasn't all true. Half of 'em was} enough, with Daisy there, and scared to death, as I knew she must be. "Tf found my bunkie, a smart lad named Harrison, We trailed out and - spotted that place where my girl was. Then we nosed around. the: country thereabouts till we found a -- little cabin on the edge of a lonesome wood. We could tell no one had lived in it for an age, by the way the vines was tied and knotted together, across the door. I took possession of: that shack in the name of the British Navy, and then I hiked back to town and bought me a lot of stuff--a can- vas cot, and pillow and blankets and comfortables and sheets, an ax, a broom, a kettle, a pot, a water bucket, matches, tea, sugar, crackers, canned ilk and soup, and a lot of eggs, which fell by the wayside and got mashed. But the rest of the, dun- nage my bunkie and I managed to smuggle out of town and into the deserted shack. . .

Harrison, who was awful handy with himself, !my girl up in the only it wasn't no fun--thinks| her quick, before she could be scared of me: " "'Tt's me, Daisy, come to take you ay It's your Jackie--your own j oy.' \ "Maybe she didn't know I was her own before that, but she knew it then. What small show of fight the night nurse put up didn't count. I wrapped blanket I had brought, and carried her off like a hawk carries a chicken. "When-I had tucked-her up in the nice bed I had already for her, I gave her a steamin' cup of tea, Maybe she was goin' to die anyhow, but she had a chance now to die like a lady, and not like a rat in a trap. "T hadn't forgot to buy a doctor's book, and when my darlin' fell asleep I studied that good and hard where it told what was good for smallpox. "Every day my bunkie came to an old blazed tree, and I stood off and shouted to him how things were and what I wanted him to bring from town for'me. Next day he would bring: jit. Once in a while I took tke patient's temprychoor. Don't know what good it done, but the book said to do it. I ; kept a rubber hot-water bag to her feet when they was cold, and I gave her all it said she ought to have. I talked to her like a Dutch uncle, and she done everything I tell her like she was my baby, which she was." "Did she get well?" I asked. "Sure she got well! And I never took the smallpox." -- "Some luck!" "Greenhorn's luck. I never was-no doctor before or since. That one time I was a swell doctor. The day she was all safe, according to the book, I mde my bunkie put some clean clothes for me under'the blazed tree. I put 'em on after I'd gone swimmin' and cut my hair. Then I went to town and bought riggin' for Daisy. I knew | how to pick out some nice shoes and silk stockin's, and I got a blue flannel sailor's sweetheart, also a big black sailor's wseetheart, also a big black tie. I told the young lady I bought them from: "You put in the right kind of underpinning to go with these ac- cordin' to specifications* "And she understood and put in everything needful. So I got a lot for Daisy, and I went to the shack and put on a D'iler of water, and made myself scarce till she bathed and dressed; and, gee, didn't she look sweet! : "Then I set fire to the old shack, and we watched it burn down. After- | wards I hunted up the owner and lied an said I had set fire to it by accident while I was huntin', and offered to pay the price. He said I was too honest for those parts, and wouldn't take no money. "The very day furlough was up, I went to the chapl'in. " 'Reverend,' says I, 'you got to splice us.

Many farm girls become so used to wearing what- ever mother makes or buys, relying so absolutely on mother's taste to be correct, that when they leave home| and are thrown on their own res- ponsibility, they find that they know nothing about cost of materials, suitability of colors or correctness of style. Too many times they spend their money on cheap, gaudy things, or else wear dowdy, unbecoming, clothes. Part of every girl's training should! consist in learning the lesson of clothes, and the first steps along that line should be taken ag soon in the little girl's life as she can under- stand the most simple of instructions. If you are making school dresses, get samples of different materials and ask daughter to choose that which she would like. Doubtless she will make a wrong choice, selecting the! most unsuitable. But don't laugh at her; don't make her ashamed. En- deavor to show her ker error in a way she can understand. Get her to) tell you what qualities, in her opinion, a school dress should have. Of course, you know it should wear well, wash well and not show soil too easily, and not be readily torn; but she may never have thought of those things. Let each sample, then, be analyzed to meet those requirements. When the suitable material has been selected, attention should be turned to the cloth's suitability to the child in question. The color must be one in which she looks well and the pattern Appropriate for her age. By suggestion, display and study famil- iarize her with these requirements, and you will develop in her a taste for simple, well made clothes she would be far less apt to have were she continually wearing dresses with} no thought as to why they were of | such a color 'or material or cut in such a way. Though the desirability of simple cut be impressed upon her, do not confound simpleness with plainness. A simply cut dress finished at neck and sleeves with a bit of lace, or brightened by contrasting material in banding or piping, is attractive, but a plain dress, absolutely devoid of all "finishing touches" is actually homely, and in all but the poorest of families, wholly unnecessary. Teach the value of these simple means of finishing a dress. Contrast the sev- erely plain dress with the slightly trimmed one. Also, when opportun- ity presents itself, point out the mis- tak of overtrimming. <A dress half covered with lace and ribbons and ornamental buttons is not only in bad taste, but is generally mere cheap display. If daughter lends a hand at the washing and ironing she will learn even more about the materials her dresses are made af, and will quickly see why the dainty little party dress would never do for school wear, and why, also, mother desires her to wear soft crepe underwear in sum- mer in preference to that which re- quires starching and ironing. It takes time, of course, to teach these things, and there are but few farm mothers whose time is not lim- ited; yet other things can better be slighted than the opportunity of teaching your daughter all you know and can learn about the why and wherefore of the clothes she wears. When she grows up and finds work away from home, you will forget the dust that showed on your chairs, the stove that needed blacking, and the many other duties neglected, to seek! her opinion and work with her on her clothes, in the satisfaction you have of seeing her on her home-visits wise- ly, becomingly, yet economically dressed. Refrigerators Preserve Food. The principle of scientific food pre- servation involved in a modern house- hold refrigerator is not always under- | stood by housewives. All that is necessary to preserve food is to keep it at a dry temperature low enough to protect it from micro-organisms or bacteria, which want to consume it as food just as we do, but which if allowed to work quickly render it un- fit for human consumption. : These bacteria lie dormant when the air is kept cold and dry, but they grow rapidly in water, hence it is necessary to keep the air in a refrig- erator from becoming moist. . The drier the air the better the food keeps. Circulation of the air is therefore an important feature, and| the walls of the ice-box are insulated. so that the cold air will be kept in. It is necessary for the ice to melt in order to chill the air properly. As the melting goes on the refrigerator is chilled and the food absorbs the cold. Thus while wrapping ice in a newspaper or flannel will undoubted- ly keep it from melting, it defeats the purpose of the refrigerator, and withholds the cold from the food. A steady melting must go on, and the modern refrigerator is built to keep 'the melting ,to a necessary minimum, although precautions should be taken to see that the ice-box does not stand where the sun's rays strike it. Nor should it stand near the fire. Cold air falls and warm air rises, and the coldest place is below the ice instead of above. Milk, butter and foodstuffs which really absorb mois- ture should therefore be placed so that the cold air reaches them direct from the ice, passing from them to those foods like melons and onions which give off odors. Do Not Permit Faultfinding at the Table. To have a comment made on dishes at the table, as too much or too little seasoning, etc., is a habit into which many families unconsciously fall. It is very trying to the housewife, and besides has a tendency to make the) food appear less inviting, and gives} a depressing effect, as all fault-find- ing does. One mother noticed that this habit was growing on her children, and de- termined that some way must be found to stop it. She called a family meeting and told them that she did her best to have the food and table just as nice as she could, and that they should do their part and be kind and polite, keep still about any dish they did not especially like. She emphasized the fact that criticism at the table was not good manners. ~ She told them that if they had| anything special to criticize they could come to her alone after the meal and she would be glad to listen to the complaint. But strange to say, being forbidden to criticize at the table, the children made very few private comments. From that time cn the mother was careful not to criticize any dish her- self, and did not allow it done by the others: She was watchful, however, that every thing was well cooked, and the habit of fault-finding at the table in that family has entirely ceased. Oil Lamps. Our house is lighted by oil lamps and the work I hate most is cleaning the lamps. I have made it as easy as possible in the following way: Turn the wick low before blowing out the light so it won't smoke so much, Trim wicks and wipe burners every day, so they won't smoke and black the burners. Set all the lamps in a row, open, before beginning to fill. Use a light can with a well-placed spout to pour oil from. Wipe lamps. with paper. Wet a sheet of newspaper and rap- idly wash all the chimneys, setting! them on the stove. Take off before) too hot and wipe with newspaper. Everything can pe done rapidly in this way and lamps and chimneys will shine. ea ncnicanien TURNING WASTE TO GOLD. Yorkshire Spinner Laughed At When He Bought His First Rubbish. One day, when in London, a spinner came across a heap of silk waste mixed up with dirty rope ends, leaves and sticks, all knotted together. "What is that?" he asked. "Oh, simply rubbish. It is impos- sible to do anything with it,' was the reply. : But the trained young spinner of Yorkshire knew better. He bought the great heap of waste at a half-pen- ny a pound, and was laughed at. For nearly ten years all the profit from his mills went into experimental machinery for the utilization of this waste. Then came the startling an- nouncement that he had produced a machine which at small cost turned the waste rubbish into beautiful fab- rics. The result is that to-day waste silk pours into the great Manningham mills from all parts of the world to come forth worth hundreds of thous- ands of pounds. In nature there is no waste. It is only because of man's limitations that the world is littered with what*seems to him rubbish. Some day a ray of genius falls upon a dead heap of waste and turns it into gold. Sr sence The net cost of the war to the United Kingdom up to March 31st was $33,500,000,000. SHADE | The kindliest thing God ever made, His handvof very healing laid~ Upon a-fevered world, is shade.

Hoofed Beasts, Such as Sheep and Pigs, Have Lost Power of Tree Climbing Through Disuse. Every one of the higher animals is in some way mechanically adapted to its mode of life and surroundings, a horse or an antelope being from one point of view a living galloping or trotting machine. Putting such ex- amples aside, there are numerous cases of more peculiar adaptations to which attention may be confined. For example, the climbing: creatures. It may be noted that a number of species, such as Old World monkeys and squirrels, present special modifi- cations for a life in the trees, the es- sential being that tley should have the power of rotating the forearm on the' upper portion of the limb and that their toes should be mobile and furnished with claws or nails. There is one group of African ro- dents, designated -scaly tailed squir- rels, the members -of which seem to have felt the necessity of additional aid for the purpose of tree climbing. They have accordingly developed on the under surface of the tail certain structures which may be compared to the climbing irons used by workmen. These take the form of a few trans- verse rows of large, triangular, horny scales, with their points directed back- ward. These scales, when pressed against the bark of a tree, must afford material aid in climbing, The Anteaters' Climbing Scales. Anether group of animals in which "climbing irons" have. been developed is that of the scaly anteaters or pan- golins, of India and Asia--creatures which look more like living fir cones than mammals. The scales--much larger than those of the scaly tailed squirrels--cover both surfaces of the body, as well as the head and limbs, so that it can scarcely be supposed they have been developed for climb- ing. Indeed, only a few species climb; but these have found the assistance afforded by the scales on the under side of value in an ascent, and=habit- ually make use of them as climbing icons. Quite a different type of climbing, or rather hanging, apparatus, has been developed in the sloths of tropigal America, which spend their time in the treetops, where they remain sus- pended back downward by their hook like claws. These claws, which may be three or two, have been modified from ordinary claws and afford a striking instance of adaptation to an abnormal mode of life. The thumb of bats is likewise modified into a hook- like claw--also used for suspending purposes when the creatures hang head upward. Generally, however, bats suspend themselves head downward by the hind claws, grasping power be- ing retained by the toes, so that the modification has not been carried to the same extent ag in sloths, in which the claws set in a mechanical manner. Suction Plates on Bats. Certain bats appear to have found their hook like thumbs and hind feet insufficient for suspension and have made use of the suction-principle for this purpose. This mode of suspen- sion has been developed independent- ly in two distinct bats, one a native of Brazil and the other of Madagascar. In the Brazilian species the suckers take the form of stalked discs attach- ed to the palms of the thumbs and the soles of the feet. The suckers of the Malagasy species are horseshoe like. By means of the suckers these bats are able to ascend vertical surfaces. Very curious it is to note the similari- ty between the suckers of these bats and those on the arms of the cuttle- fishes. The geckos which*run up the walls and over the ceilings of houses in warm countries acord another in- stance of the sucker principle. Bats are not the only mammals which have availed themselves of the sucker. In the Malay Islands and the Philippines dwell large eyed and slender limbed little lemur-like creatures known as tarsiers, whose habits are nocturnal. In these weir@ little animals the tips of the toes are expanded into cushion- like discs, capable of acting as suck- ers, by means of which they ascend such smooth surfaces as the stems of bambovs. Hoofed or ungulate animals, such as sheep, pigs, camels and elephants, have given up using their fore limbs in a handlike manner, and employ them solely for progression. Conse- quently tree climbing is out of their line. In Africa and Syria occur, how- ever, certain representatives of the order known as rock rabbits, or hyrax, the Syrian species being the one re- ferred to in the Bible as the coney (the old name of the rabbit). Certain African hyraxes have, however, taken to tree climbing, and the way they manage it is this: In each foot the sole is somewhat cup shaped, and by the aid of muscular action the centre can be more elevated, so that when the edges are applied to the bark the foot acts like a sucker. Cay ORE PURIST. Tar Rha Origin of Oilcloth, There lived in England a painter. His name was John Buckley. He made his living by painting the floors of the rich in large black and white squares. He was just a common floor painter. He was intensely practical, and it annoyed him when he found his work much hampered by the servants of his rich employers, who objected strenuously to walking on wet paint. So John Buckley conceived the idea of painting his designs on canvas, let- ting the canvas dry, and then tacking it down on the floor. And that's how we came to get oilcloth. ey Excessive.

It must | also be borne in mind that white | races suffer less than black. Fifty per cent. of the inhabitants of Northern Labrador perished during 'the winter from an epidemic of "flu." One village, with a populaltion of over 200, was wiped out, while at another-- Bebron--only a few of the two hun- dred inhabitants were left to tend the sick and dispose of the bodies of the dead, medical aid being unobtainable. In some South African kraals the deaths have numbered forty per cent. of the cases. In England they are hardly three per cent. » The greatest mortality from any disease at the present time is from cholera, of which there is an epidemic in Bombay. fatal. Smallpox among unvaccinated races is deadly in forty cases in a hundred. In Samoa smallpox broke out in the village of Hapaa, and killed one hun- dred out of four hundred. It was fol- lowed by tuberculosis, and at the end of twelve months there were only two survivors left. In the Pacific Islands measels is ter- ribly destructive, whilst in Madagas- car, during a recent epidemic, 30 per cent. of those. who Caught measles died.

Man Who Eats Meals With Watch Be- side Him is Failure. A great many pretty mottoes have been written about hard work being the key to success. Hard work alone never put any man anywhere except- ing in a premature grave, or in the hands of a stomach specialist, says Thrift Magazine. The man who fumes and explodes and eats his lunch | with his watch on the table is cheat- ing himself out of many a good year of active service. Careful planning and system will do more towards boosting you along to the goal of your ambitions than four- minute meals and a sincere endeavor to do three things at the same time. The men who really accomplish the most seem to be the least hurried and the least busy. It's the non-skid fel- low who succeeds every time. The powerful engines that drive the mighty Leviathan across the stormy Atlantic make less fuss about their work than the little asthmatic peanut roaster on the corner that coughs to death every time a strong wind. blows. Poise and deliberation will do more for you than excessive perspiration and a sour stomach. In 50 years from now the world will have forgotten whether you partook of your noontime repast sitting down or on the run.
