“Heaven is not reached at a single
bound,
But, we build the ladder by which we
rise,
From the lowly earth to vaulted
skies,
And we mount to its summit round by

PREVENTIVE tIEDICINE.
Keeping Out the Germ* la Better
Than Doctoring For Them.
In looking over the history of the
search for a means of cure one is
struck by the great value of the ounce
of prevention. Keeping the germs out
Is in every way preferable to dealing
with the matter after they have once
entered the body. This fact scientific
medicine is impressing more and more
deeply on the minds of public authori
ties and the people, and their response
in the form of provisions for improved
public and private sanitation is one of
the striking features of the social prog
ress of the present time. All the more
enlightened nations, states and cities of
the world possess organized depart
ments of. health, which, with varying
degrees of thoroughness, deal Yvith the
problems presented by the infectious
diseases in the light of the latest dis
coveries.
Fifty years ago the term preventive
medicine was unknown. Today it rep
resents a great body of well attested
and accepted principles. It has cleaned
our streets, it has helped build our
model tenements, it has purified our
food and our drinking water, it lias en
tered our homes and kept away disease,
it has prolonged our lives and it has
made the world a sweeter place in
which to live. —Medical News.
Anfttralian Ten.
In the interior of Australia all the
men drink tea. They drink it all day
long and in quantities and at a strength
that would seem to be poisonous. On
Sunday morning the tea maker, starts
with a clean pot and a clean record.
The pot is hung over the fire with a
sufficiency of water in it for the day’s
brew, and when this has boiled he
pours into it enough of the fragrant
herb to' produce a deep, coffee colored
liquid.
On Monday, without removing yes
terday’s tea leaves, he repeats the proc
ess; on Tuesday da capo and on Wed
nesday da capo, and so on through the
week. Toward the close of it the great
pot is filled with an acrid inash of tea
leaves, out of which the liquor is
squeezed by the pressure of a tin cup.
By this time the tea is of the color of
rusty iron, incredibly bitter and disa
greeable to the uneducated palate. The
native calls it “real good old post and
rails,” the simile being obviously drawn
from a stiff and dangerous jump, and
regards it as having been brought to
perfection.
Story of a Ton 2::t.
A lady who lives In a fashionable
suburb is of a saving turn of tuuid and
manages to combine her love of econ
omy with a due regard for her hus
band’s appearance liy turning his old
top hats into waste paper baskets. The
other day she saw oa the hall table a
prehistoric hat, venerable with age.
She seized it in triumph and had just
removed the brim, covered the body
with light blue silk and was finishing
it off with a tasteful arrangement of
lace and bows when she was interrupt
ed by the servant: “Please, mum, the
piano tuner says he can’t find his top
hat nowheres. He left it in the hall,
he says.” Ten minutes later that tuner
left the house with a cap on his head
and a sovereign in his pocket. Waste
paper baskets are now scarce in that
house.—London Answers.
<iueer English Custom.
Persons aspiring to become bailiff at
Alnwick, England, have to go through
a curious and somewhat unpleasant or
deal. Before the election the various
candidates ride up in a body to a horse
pond and, there dismounting from their
steeds, plunge into the water and strug
gle as best they may to the other side.
The music of a brass band cheers them
during their struggles in the dirty wa
ter. This ancient custom dates from
the reign of King John, who once paid
a visit to the town in 1210 and found
uo fitting welcome prepared for him.
The blame of this state of unprepared
ness was fastened on the luckless bai
liffs, who were promptly thrown into
the horse pond by royal command.
Japanese Natural Varnish.
The Klius coriaria, or varnish tree,
grows in many parts of* what may he
termed the Mediterranean district, and
its juice is known for its deleterious or
injurious properties and has conse
quently been let alone. The Japanese,
however, seem to understand it, and it
is certain they make a beautiful lac
quer or varnish from the juice of their
trees, but they keep the processes se
cret.

J * s not uncom "
mon for a child to be
C4|P T b° rn afflicted with
■' ■ weak kidneys. If the
child urinates toooften, if the urine scalds
the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet
ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser
able with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
