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 ? -

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

may give rise to a soriouB ono, and
there 1b not the slightest reason to
M8umo that the child mu?t necesnar!
y
Hy have iho diseases at any tlm?.
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

If Professor Dvcho succeeds in cou- j

a large part of them who have tho
'requisite facilities at hand, (hat a hah

As Professor Dyche so well said in
an Interview with hini the other day:
"The existence of well stocked ponds
all over the State would be of imI
menso food value to the people."

There are no indications that the ;

Dyche's suggestions in this regard are

before the people ot" Kansas can prac- i
tiee considerable household economy

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,

Once while Bishop Talbot, the giant
"cowboy bishop," was attending a
meeting of church dignitaries in St.
Paul, a tramp accosted a group of
churchmen In the hotel porch and
asKen ror nui.
"No," one of them told him, "I'm
afraid wo can't help you. Hut you
seo that big man over there?" pointing
to Bishop Talbot. "Well, he's
the youngest bishop of us all, and ,
bo's a very generous man. You
might try him."
The tramp approached Bishop Talbot
confidently. The others watched
with interest. They saw a look of
surprise come over the tramp's face.
The Bishop was talking eagerly. The
tramp looked troubled. And then,
finally, they saw something pass
from one hand to the other. The
triynp tried to slink past the group
without speaking. but one of them
called to liini.
"Well, did you get something from
our young brother?"
The tramp grinned sheepishly.
"No," he admitted, "I gave him a dollar

CHINA'S AWAKENING.
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

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

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

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
