How Most People Maintain Wrong Beliefs Everyday Matters In Which lA/n fl?o lloii-*ll?? In < ? nib vjuuilj) III LllVlis^.f If wo start an inquiry along any particular line we very soon discover that our authorities are uprooting and utterly doing to death some of our moat fond little beliefs; we find tftft only that we have been negatively in the wrong through lack of any information, but that wo have been positively, and often assertively, wrong, having taken our stand on what develops to bo- absolutely ml?i?formation. This holds true with reference to all things, both animate and Inanimate, but in no lino is it more striking than with regard to ourselves, our bodies, our senses, our foods, and our diseases. ivjuui. ien nvoragoiy well-informed persons and ask each to locate his heart. At least nine, and-probably all of them, will placo their hands well around on the left sido or on the left breast up toward the shoulder. Of course, every one knows that the heart Is 011 the left side! llut it happens that it is not. The most muscular chamber, the left ventricle, is on the left side of the heart, and the largest artery, the aorta, arches over to tho lrfi, and tho point is directed toward the lef!. and those conditions make tlio heating of tho hoart more readily felt on tho left side; hut should we carefully slice ourselves directly through tho centre of the breastbone a larger portion of the heart would go out with the rii;ht side than with the left. Wo may assume that each of us belongs to that more fortunate class which dlnea every day, and we 'nave, therefore, had in the course of the past ten years about !16r>0 dinners. Counting out the day wo dined alone on the railway train, wo have, then, heard in tho past ton years no loss than 3649 times the romark, "Isn't it peculiar that a person weighs no more after a hoarty meal than before?" It would bo peculiar, very, if it wore true; but it isn't. If you eat two pounds or dinner you will, immediately thereafter, weigh very nearly two pounds more than you did just before, as any good scales will demonstrate. The reason tiiat you would not weigh exactly two pounds more is that the body is constantly losing weight, whether one ip eating or not, by perspiration and by tho moisture and dioxide gas exhaled from the lungs. A man of average weiwht will lose about two iwmnilc in a Turkish bath. Almost every one has more knowledge of the Scriptures?particularly of the first two or three chapters <>l' Genesis than of anatomy, and is ready with a quotation to prove that a woman lias one more?or, rather, that a man has one lees?rib than a Wftni-in A ? - ^ .. u.MWilllUUKMl 111 a IIUI nial skeleton wll convince him of his error. Doth men and women are duly lilted out with twelve pairs of ribs. On the other hand, most of us who are very wise smile knowingly when somo one makes the foolish assertion that one is taller In the morning than in the evening. Hut try It. Between the twonty-fonr vertebrae of the backbone are little disks of cartilage, and these in the course of 'he day are conBlderably com pressed by the weight of the body. eXDiindinir nornln when the body is In a recumbent position. In the case of a heavy man of good average height the difference in bis height at morning and evening is usually about a half inch. How many times have we been solemnly informed that "fish is a brain food"? There is 110 foundation whatever for tho belief that fish contains any particular elements which adapt them especially as food for the braUi or which support mental efforts. The value of fish as a food to persons engaged in mental labor is found in the fact that fish do not contain large quantities of those materials which demand much physical exercise or exertion for their complete consumption. As the brainworker is seldom physically active, the value of fish as food for him is due to what is not CO?tatii?(1 in the fish. "Don't ko into the water until you have become cooler!" Ih a caution frequently givon intending swimmers and bathers. The kindly cautioners are not quite Bure just what would happen if, when heated, a person should plunge into the stream or surf, but it would bo something very dreadful, in which they disagree with the Royal British Humane Society, which urges. "Bathe when the body is warm, provided no time is lost in getting into the water. Avoid bathing whftn the* hmlw ..?.. ...v- wwu.f ?uft aiior perspiratlon." It 1b when we huppen to get control of another person'* body thRt wo prove most conclusively what a mass of misinformation wo have acquired. For instance, when some one has been drowned, or nearly drowned, we Heize upon the poor, cold body nnd rub it vigorously with whisky, under the impression that we are warming it. Logical, when we consider that when fever is reaching a dangerous height we rub the patient's body with alcohol to reduce his temperature? The Important thing to do is to got the body of the drowned person dry and warm, not wet and cold, and whisky is undeniably wet, and its rapid evanoration 1 makes the body cold. To pour spirits of wine or any other volatile fluid upon the hands of the most healthy person will mako his hands instantly cold. It would ho far more sensible to rub the drowned body with a piece of dry flannel or the bare hand. And when it comes to children! How many parents expose their children, when very young, to infection of "children's ailments" -measles, whooping cough, chicken nox, etc.? with tho Idea ihev are quite likely to have those maladies at one timo or another and that It Is better and safer to havo thorn while young? There are hundreds of thousands who do, and thousands of unnecessary deaths roan It T r* 1? ? ?11 1 . urn mm.

Ouo attack does uot necessarily afford protection from another, more? over, nnd, ocienco and statistics against ancient crones, the fatalities among children are almost always greater than among adults. As a child gro^vs older the liability of attack diminishes rapidly. Sixty per cent, of the deaths from measles oc uur uuring mo nrst two years of life, seventy-five per cent, during the first I three, and over ninety per cent, among children under five years of age. With respect to fatal cases of whooping cough, forty per cent, occur under one year, sevonty-fivc per cent, under two years, and ninety per cent, under five years. And do not put cobwebs on .a cut to stop bleeding, as you are likely to cive the patient blood poisoning or lockjaw, cobwoba being Infested with all kinds of disease germs. And do not hold a burned member near a fire to "draw out tho Inflammation." It uoo9 noiniiiK or the kind. The thing to do is to exclude the air as quickly a? possible, and for this any soothing oil or cold crcan> will servo. And the worst part of it all is that we are convinced every day of tho truth of the assertion that "to unlearn is harder than to learn."?New j York Times. HKCOMMENDS KISI1 PONDS. !

Among the many Americans who spend winter regularly at St. Moritz, the luxurious snow mantled Swiss village (1000 feet above the sea, no one is more popular than William A Orthwoin tho A movlnnn curler. Mr. Ortliwein, nt the last. meeting of the St. Moritz Curling Club, told an amusing story of an Irish stew. I "Wo were playing davos," said the ruddy and robust American. "I told t.ho men not to bother about lunches or .-.macks; I would have a superb Irish ?'?w sent down from the Kulm. The Kulm, yon know, is famous for its Irish stews. "Well, the stew arrived before the match was finished, and to keop It warm three or four topcoats were laid over it. "Then play ended, and we all hastened toward the great pot of fragrant stew with joyous hearts. But, alas, on lifting the coats wt; found udimiiK D'MiBHin iri'.'in r> 111 a rounu hole.

How tho Celestials Aro Progressing in the Modern Arts. Nothing shows moro clearly tho fact that China is waking from her long sloop than tho rapid Introduction of industries and mechanical employments, on the European plan, into that country. A contributor to Cosmos (Paris, October 8) assures us that this introduction is takiug place much more quickly and thoroughly than most Occidentals imagine. Although the European colonics havo been instrumental in the matter, tlio native Chinese eagerly adopt and use the Western devices. Says the paper named above: "European industries have begun iu m; muuuucu'i into vjntna, aiul their progress is now becoming more and more rapid. At Canton in particular wo Had a series of factories whose presence greatly astonishes those who think of China as still fixed in the past, lloro we find a ceincnt factory, the property of the Government, but directed by Chinese under the guidance of German engineers; no less than f>00 barrels of cement daily are turned out. Canton J also has a water works run entirely ! by Chinese, which furnishes daily more than 7,000,000 gallons of water to 10,000,000 subscribers. This 1 at fer flmtire shows clearly that tlio Chinese are quick to understand the advantages of perfected processes, and notably of the house-to-house distribution of water, when they have the wherewithal to pay for it. "We find also at Canton, besides the arsenal, a smokeless powder factory, as well as the provincial mint; there is also a paper mill and a cigarette factory, not to mention the railway shons . nmi shops for the construction and repair Of VOFSf'lS. "Iiut what is perhaps tho most curious tiiiug to find in this very Chinese city, where, in spite of the foreign quarter, .the natives form a large portion of the clientele of all those industries, is an electric plant, installed on the most modern plan. This station was erected by tho Chinese Light. fi. Power Company, whose headquarters is at Hongkong. It stands in the district culled Xg Sin Moon, which means Southern Gate. j no accessary motive forco is furnished in tho lirst place; by three Diesel motors, using crude petroleum and giving together GOO horsepower. There arcs also live steam engines yielding 730 horsepower. The steam is produced by four Ha.br.oek & \\ri!con water tuho boilers, burning Japanese coal and furnished with a Oreo 11 economizer. Condensers <>t' a goo I type assure excellent working and the forced-draft system is used, j "All tiie workmen in this station, to the number of 1 li 1, are Chinese. The current, which is alternating, is conveyed away at a tension of 2000 I volts. The conductors are aerial and I held up by iron or wooden posts. Be| fore reaching the consumer it is low ?:i in n> me nunc modest tension of ! only 100 volts. The subscribers aro j divided between the foreign concesI sion of Shamecn and the Chinese j town of Canton proper, but they are J more numerous in the Chinese city. According to figures in our possession and which date hack to the beginning of 100'J there aro more than 2G40." i ?Literary Digest. Clearing a Canyon of (finders. Climbing by a dangerous route un the iceelad cliffs of Canyon, where tin* great nvnlancho wrought such' havoc a week ago, two expert dynamiters after carefully drilling holes into the thickest masses of tho glacier succceded in loosening from the mountainside a large portion of the ice this afternoon. Owing to tho difficulties and dangers attached to tho work a second blast could not bo set to-day, and largo masses of ice and snow still cling to the rocks and make traffic through the canyon a constant peril. Ed Henson and Jack Callahan are the daring minets who volunteered to /1/v 4 I * ? w<< iin; miiK o! masting after fruitless efforts of tlu> enmity commissioners to hire men willing to risk tho danger. It is estimated that thoro is fully r>00 tons of iee which will have to be removed in small quantities and broken down from tho mass so as to prevent the entire glacier from crashing to the bottom of the canyon. Ogden Correspondence Salt Lake Herald-Republican. Growth of Sanitation. Scientific sanitation is, of course, a modern affair. Here, for instance, is a pen picture of a time so recent as Shakespeare's age, taken from nn ?>t<i number of the North BritiHh Review: "The floors wero of earth, and the broom was used but little. The garbage was thrown about the doors and windows, where it was allowed to rot. The earth of tho floor was overweighted with putrid matter, and much of it camo into tho air of the rooms. There was no drainage, baths were but seldom taken, clothing was changed only at long periods, and as j a consequence of all this the plague was ever playing havoc with the people." In their ignorance and carelessness the. people wero perpetually inviting the diseases which mowed them down like invading armies, it may be said that, scientific sanitation I is the creation of the last half century j >over I'illi <1 I n.
