Best results are obtained from "setouutuhsr-shaped blocks cut from Southern or Norway pine which are thoroughly seasoned and creosoted. This latter process not only length- ens the life of the wood but reduces its absorptive capacity for water, thus preventing the weakening of the wood-fibrea and reducing its tendency to buckle. The most ap- proved method of laying this pave- ment used in London, New York and other large cities, is to frrst make a concrete foundation four to six inches thick on which is laid a thin layer of sand, or, better still, of moist Portland cement, into which the blocks are closely set. The blocks are from five to nine inches in depth and must be free from dofecta.

Bow she did it, she herself tells in her recently published memoirs: Removable buttons are a feature of some, lingerie gowns and blouses. The buttons, of bone, are taken out when the gown is laundered. They are well made of highly finished bone, and although they are much like tho studs which women wore when shirt waists first came into being they are made to lie flat on the surface of the material. One ot the whims of fashion is the piecing of black bows at the back of the neck instead of at the front. The bows are flat and tailored in effect and fringed ends reach to the waist. This method of placing bows seems to be in line with the tend- ency to gather the skirt in the front and leave it plain in the back. Red and yellow, fashion predicts, will be the most popular summer colors. Mahogany and nasturtium red especially are increasingly pop- ular. The two colors are frequent- ly combined.

The first men- tion of Miriam by name is in con- nection with the account of Israel’s successful escape through the Red Sea. after which she led a chorus of women with timbrels and dancing in honor of the escape of the Israel- ites from their pursuers. Later in the desert journey of the people Miriam instigated an open rebellion against Moses, which was followed also by Aaron. For this rebellion against God's chosen leader she was smitten with leprosy. from which she was healed only at the earnest intercession of Moses. The death and burial of Miriam at Kadesh is referred to in Num. 20. 1 (compare also Exod. 15. 20, 21; Nam. 12. l- 15).

The papyrus is no longer found in Egypt, but still grows in Abyssinia, Nubia, and var- ious parts of Sicily. By the ancients it was put to many uses, its mots, stalks, pith, fiber, and juice all be- ing valuable.

Nothing could be more mer- itorious, for instance, than the ex- traordinary feat of the chief offieer of a sailing ship bringing timber in- to Sydney from Puget Bound. One Men who have been dangerously ill with pneumonia or hernia have been pulled round, and there are records of major operations at sea which have saved the lives of tho patients. Broken bones are well set and huge lacerated wounds skil- fully approximated. There are in- stances of neglect, too, which, in the eyes of surgeons. are wicked. A vessel recently arrived at Sydney, Australia, on which a sailor had fallen from aloft and sustained a compound fracture of his Shinbone. The break was a dreadful one, for a piece of the bone had snapped off and stuck in the deck, where it had been allowed to remain as a curio. But the attention to the man had becn'so unskilful that when the ship put into port his foot and the lower part of his leg were in a suppurat- ing condition, making amputation necessary. No Commonsense action had been taken to place the foot into position. and the man was lucky to get " alive. . Ship's omens Are Often Forced to Tackle Surgical Problems. Most of the big ocean liners carry doctors, but on the smaller steamers and the sailing craft the captain or one of the officers has to diagnose and treat in cases of sickness or accident. When driven to it by ne- cessity it is marvellous what these amateurs accomplish with the little knowledge they possess. on both sides, At will be seen that the majority of us sleep in rooms that are not perfectly ventilated. The gospel of fresh air is being preached on every hand, but like other gospels, it is not yet practised even by many who profess to believe it. There are still many people who think that though windows and doors should be open in the day time, and though people, whether sick or well, cannot spend too much {tithe out of doors, while the sun is shining, there is no danger in ex- posure to the night air. So far from being harmful night air is a great health giver. The atmosphere is cleansed by the precipitation of dew and frost, so that night air is purer than the air in the daytime. Dr. Hannington, a prominent member of the American Association for the Prevention of Consumption, says that the air in a room twenty feet long, ten feet high, and fifteen feet wide must be renewed every hour if, the person who occupies it is to maintain good health. As not many of our bedrooms are as large as this, and as few of thenrhave windows! The sufferer breathes in 'the pol- len, it comes in contact with the sus- ceptible mucous membrane, its tox- in enters the system, and gives rise to the symptoms of the disease. The pollen of various grasses has a toxic property like that of ragweed, and so we have the early cases --the real hay-fever that comes at the time of grass-cutting. The nervous element is shown in the punctuality of the attack. The patient observes that the attack begins on a certain date, and unconsciously prepares himself, by what is called autosuggcstion, for its return on the same day of the following year. That is now the generally accepted theory of hay- fever, and it is plausible enough to be true.--Youth's Companion. As is usual in most disputes, there is probably some truth on each side. There is clearly a 'pg,'itriualehni,t, in most cases orhay-tever; this nervous condition causes the patient to be susceptible to the infection. The irritable areas in the nose sup- ply the proper medium on which the specific poison of the disease can act. Finally, this specitie poison is doubtless a toxin contained in the pollen of many grasses, weeds, and even cultivated plants. The advocates of the neurotic theory point to the fact that hay- fever often attacks its victims each year on the same day of the month, and even at the same hour of the day, whether pollen is present in the air or not. Furthermore, the early forms of the disease-called June cold or rose cold-come before there can be any ragweed pollen at all in the air. . . . UWW‘M l Hay-Fever. l Although 'nay-iever has long been known and studied by physicians, its true cause and nature are still matter for discussion. The unceis tainty regarding the disease is shown by the variety of names it bears-tune cold, rose cold, peach cold, autumnal catarrh, nervous catarrh, summer asthma, ragweed fever, pollen fever, and many more. Lyme regard it as purely neurotic--- a sort of hysteria or neurasthenic condition; others believe that it is due to the presence of especially irritable areas in the mucous mem- brance of the nose; others again, and perhaps the majority, regard it as a disease of the respiratory mu- cous membranes, caused by the irri- tating effect of the pollen of certain plants, such as go denrod or rag- weed.

On another occasion a. sailor sus- tained I compound fracture of the arm at the elbow joint. It was a very nasty break, because the bones were protruding, and there was a good deal of hemorrhage. The cap- (tain applied a torniquet around the ‘erm to stop the blood flow, and he was afraid to remove it. Later the arm became black from gangrene below the seat of the fracture. So he decided to nmputate the black- ened rtion. He was in fear and trembling lest the man should bleed to death in the operation. But there, was no bleeding as the result of the l operation, and when the torniquctl we.- removed it was found that Iii) torn end of the blood vessel had healed.

To a surgeon the operation for appendi- citis does not present any insuper- able difficulties, but a novice who would undertake it would need to be possessed of remarkable nerve.

He had performed an act of mercy, in defiance perhaps of the laws of men, but in strict accord with that love which is the and no men could be righteous, or even respectable, who did not obey these rules and regulations to the letter. And now comes this young prophet of Galilee, who breaks these laws and thus defies all the venerated tradition of Bis people by healing the sick upon this day of days.
