After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. 1 had gotten so weak 1 could net stand, and I gave up in despair.

Don’t Scrstch, Even With Clean Nails, and Don’t Pinch. Scratching oneself ynd picking :it pimples or sore spots are dangerous habits, likely to result in Infections more or less serious. This is proved by examination of the scrapings of nails under the microscope. Even hands and nails that are kept scrupu lously clean by washing and brushing are not free from the germs of skin diseases. Or. Albert Schneider of San Fran cisco re[>or;s to the Journal of the American Medical Association the re suits of the microscopic examination o. the scrapingo of the nails of 143 stn dents in a surgical college. There were found bacilli, cocci and spirillae of many sorts, especially those that pro duee pus. These facts, lie points out. may he of great importance in criminal trials. L)r. Schneider cites one case in which a man was accused of killing a baby In the scrapings of his nails were found the "frustules of fresh water diatoms and a few filaments of oscilla iia." This led to the suspicion that he had buried his victim's body in a marsh. Careful search of the banks o a marshy stream near by disclosed the little corpse. Dr. Schneider says such diseases as lupus, acne, boils and carbuncles are traceable to scratching. Nail biters frequently infect themselves. "There is the case of the husband." he writes, "whose neck on the left side was never long free from one or more small pimples or boils, traceable to his wife's balm of playfully pinching his neck He ascribed the trouble to starched Gillars. but several changes in the laundry brought no relief. During the prolonged absence of the wife on a visit with relatives the trouble disap pea red entirely to reappear again on her return with a renewal of the play ful habits.” PICKED AN CDD NAME. An Author Had a Long Search and Then Faced a Surprise. When .Vbiou W. Tourgee wrote "A Fool's Errand" he named <nie of his leading i lia mold s Therou Pardee. An early copy of the book fell into the bauds of the Rev. Luther Pardee, an Episcopal clergyman of Chicago, whose father was named Thereon Pardee. The name is such an unusual coin binatiou that in amazement the rector showed the book to his father, and they were both puzzled by the coinei deuce. They decided to write Judge Tourgee and ask him what had led him to use the name. lie replied, iu equal amazement, that he bad not supposed there was such a man living as Therou Pardee. Then In stated that he had a prolonged search for a suitable name for the character of his story —one that would express just what he imagined this t haractei to be. In the course of the hunt an old copy of the curriculum of Union college had fulleu into his hands. It was date! 1825. or something as far back, and among tlie names of the students was one Thereon Pardee. The judge said it had impressed him as being one of the richest, most solid and most satisfying names he ever bad heard, so he decided to adopt it for his character. The curriculum was so oil that he had no hesitation in using the name, and he was astonished to learn that the rightful owner of it was liv ing. His explanation was accepted, and the resulting acquaintance was pleas ing all around. One Letter You Never Wrote.

RAILWAY WRECKS Quick Rescue Work the Rule When a Smashup Occurs. , t “SAVE LIFE” IS FIRST ORDER. To Accomplish This Every Effort Is Strained, and When That Work Is Done "Clear the Tracks,’’ Regardless of Property Loss. Is the Next Task. Marvelously efficient is the system of wrecking machinery in use in these days for quick work when a smasli ui) occurs on one of tlie great rail roads Some of the latest inventions and appliances for clearing tracks aft er a wreck are described in the Popu lar Science Monthly. The magazine says' "Wrecking trains are located on every division of important railroads, standfng idle in the yards waiting for calamity—a crane car. with sufficient power to lift a freight car as a child lifts a toy; a supply car. containing ropes, cables, chains, jacks, crowbars, tools, lanterns, fire apparatus, dyna mite. rails, ties; a caboose for the wrecking crew. “When the word comes over the wire that the express and the fast freight have tried to see which could butt the other off the track the wrecking crew assembles in a hurry. They are (lick ed men—these minutemen of the rails —each with his specialty. Mechanics, trackmen, men skilled in explosives, strong men, slender men. at least one small but muscular man. they come from roundhouse and shop, freight yards and office at the supreme call. The wrecking boss takes command, the best engine available ba'-ks down, and with a clear track the wrecking train gets to the disaster, often ahead of the special containing doctors and nurses. “There is only one order to be obeyed when the wrecking crew gets into .ac tion—'save life.’ But once the victims arc extricated—and they are taken out iti remarkably short time—the order changes. It is not. as might bo expect ed. ’save property.' It is ‘dear the line.' It makes no difference that five jum bled freight cars contain expensive aiit -mobiles, or pianos, or phonographs, or fruit, which might he saved by care ful work. If the contents cannot be saved in less than an hour there is only one thing to do. The big steam crane is backed down to the moss; a long, tentacle-like hook descends.chains and ropes arc brought into play, and slowly, surely, almost daintily, the crane swings the wrecked freight car and its contents to one side. “Sometimes the easiest way to clear the lines is to burn the wreck or blow it up. Tracks can be quickly relaid if damaged, but nothing can repla: e lost time. The price of the enr-o of auto mobiles is nothing against a five hour delay, for the price of delay mounts in stunning geometrical progression. A few liunzU'cd dolhtrs for the first hour, it may be many thousands of dol lars in file second or third hour. A stoppage of tlie lines may mean it stop page of *he whole railway system, with hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of freight tied up. confusion, loss, waste. “And wcil he knows his work—the crane for this car. the jacks for that. This engine looks like a scrap, but probably will run; put her cm the other track. That engine looks all right, but is vitally wounded; throw her off. This car is too inextricably tangled with another in loving embrace to take to pieces, part by part; burn it up anil throw the trucks to one side. The small man, a necessary factor, crawls into and out of holes too small for his stronger mates, attaching chains and ropes, reporting conditions, doing work as valuable as that of the Hercules who with a crowbar heaves up a tan gle of wheels that a jack may be slip ped into position. “The doctors and the nurses and the relief train have come and gone. Down the line stands an impatient express, behind it a long freight. In the other direction a local is filled with fuming commuters, and perhaps the president's special is close behind. All along the division and soon to spread through the whole system is delay, stalled trains, trains waiting orders, trains costing the company thousands of dol lars a minute. “Over the tangled debris one man stands supreme, snapping his orders like tlie crack of a whip, utterly un mindful of the property he destroys that other property may move. And as if by magic the lines clear. The last of the bent and broken cars are turned on their sides and slide down the bank. The limping engine goes off behind a switching engine sent for the purpose. If tlie delay looks long, a temporary sidetrack has been swiftly built and the several waiting trains puff slowly by. The wrecking train whistles. Its crew, driving the last spike to make the track secure, pull out jimmy pipes. The big crane folds its single arm and rests. The men pile into their caboose. The wreck is off the lines —time, fifty-five minutes. The wrecking train has finished its work.” A Straightforward Answer. J. B. Lippineott once ventured to ask Ouida. the novelist, how she came to know so much about clubs, camp life, barracks, gambling houses and other places which are only visited by men. She placed her hands upon her knees and. looking straight at her questioner, said. “It is none of your business.” Whoso kcepeth Ids mouth and Ids tongue keepetli his soul from troubles. —Solomon.
