RELIEF FOR HEAT SUFFERERS English Savant Who Probably Knows Offers Some Advice on the Problem of Keeping Cool. The obvious expedient of avoiding exposure to the sun, "stimulating" foods and drinks, and the use of dark and heut-retuining garments is not always sufficient to keep the human body cool. In spite of these precautions, many persons suffer from heat langnor ("thermal debility"), to the detriment of their health and efficiency. It is nearly one hundred years since the Silesiun peasant 1'riessnltz reintroduced the curative use of cold. One of his procedures was to immerse the back of his head in a shallow vessel of cold water. We know now that external cold Is a powerful stimulant to the nerve centers at the base of the brain, which govern the heart and breathing and regulation of body heat. In hot summers heat is insidiously piled up in the tissues, and sometimes thermal debility passes on to thermal fever or "heat stroke." Anybody may prove for himself the refreshing coolness produced by bathIns the nape of the neck and the spine and the inner side of the arms with lee-cold water. As regards the prevention and cure of heat-stroke, the experience of the troops In hot climates has shown the same ellicacy of cold when applied on a more extensive scale.?From a Letter in the London Times. Saved by His Cuffs. "There's superstition personified," said the tailor, as he nodded In the - direction of an elderly man who was - being fitted for a suit, "lie's so superstitious that lie wears cuffs on the trousers of his dress suit." "What has his wearing cuffs on the trousers of his dress suit got to do with superstition?" the tailor was ^ asked. "That man claims that cuffs on his ' trousers have saved him hundreds of dollars during his life and he refuses to go without them now. even in evening clothes," the tailor retorted. "Once he said he dropped a diamond j ring somewhere and thought he had lost it until he got home lliat night and discovered it in the cuff of his trousers. Another time lie lost a scarfP: pin. which lie also later found in the ES same place. After several other simile , lar instances the old man came to be- ' lieve that cuffs were good tluck and now, despite my pleadings, he Insists I' on wearing them." * . - Something to Think About By F. A. WALKER WITH YOUR CHILD. LET us suppose you are a parent. That you love your children and are seriously concerned about their future welfare. They are average children, no doubt, fond of play, never still unless asleep; In mischief and out at every opportunity, and seem bent upon filling your life to the brim with ever-changing smiles and tears. But what of It? They are of your own blood and bone. Their tendencies in the main are Inherited. Turn backward a moment and reflect. They are entitles of your Infant self, in new bodies, with recently adjusted brains and of keener vision than children of a generation ago. As the progress of the human race is towards advancement you must expect differences In temperaments, ideals and modes of expression. Like you, they are being swept forward by the invisible force whirling planets and holding in place the heavens and the earth. To you has been Intrusted their Keeping. The responsibility of parentage must be accepted In the right spirt, and when this shall have been done the proper training of these newcomers will become a pleasurable duty, fairly easy of accomplishment. Cultivate companionship by becoming one of them In thought and act Seek to be their best friend. These things will bring you closer to them and enable you better to understand and correct faults and shortcomings. As a friend you can be firm without being severe. You can lead without being suspected and mold the new life to a life of honor and beauty. You can straighten the crooked twig by doing It gently, not by a twist or blow. Neglect It when It Is tender, hope of transformation is gone. Children are natural Imitators. What their parents do and say children do and say, and plus. They put in something for good measure. So be careful of your speech and deportment. They are the latest edition and must be read with searching eyes. There's more In this latest edition than you may suspect, put there by a wise Creator for the development and advancement of mankind, and It depends entirely on the parents whether It shall be received by the world with censure or approval. (Copyright.) O LYRICSOF LIFE By DOUGLAS MALLOCH THE LAKE OF STARS. WHEN all Is lovely on the lake, No night-winds rudely pass, Not even gentle breezes break The water's perfect glass, Afloat, ah>ne, from your canoe Look down and you will see Reflected there the sky of blue And all Its canopy. You will behold a thousand lights f Now near that were afar, For only thus on perfect nights The luke receives the star, Seen only thus when perfect peace Is on the quiet tide, When all the winds that wander cease And earth Is satisfied. But, if a breeze shall venture here, Some tiny tempest blow, Your lake of stars will disappear And all be dark below. They are not blotted from the skies By just a moment's care ? O ye discouraged, lift your eyes, For stUl the stars are there 1 (Copyright) O ;! HOW DO YOU SAY IT?: : By C. N. LURIE ; i' Common Errors in English and < ] How to Avoid Them < "CHARACTER" AND "REPUTA TION." AVOID the common error of confounding these two words, for there Is a clear and sharp distinction In their meunings. Your character is what you are. In your moral nature, your abilities, etc.; your reputation is what your friends, your neighbors, the world, thinks of you. Your reputation may be ruined by a raise accusalmu, uui your cnuracier cannot be Injured by anyone but yourself. Abbot says, "Character Is what a person Is; reputation Is what he is supposed to be. Chnracter is In himself, reputation is in the minds of others. Chnracter is injured by teinptntions and wrongdoings; reputation by slanders and libels. Character endures through defamation in every form hut perishes where tliere is a voluntary transgression; reputation may last through numerous tr .nsgressions, but lie destroyed by a single, and even an unfounded, accusation or aspiration." (Copyright.) Birds Cut Off Lights. The cities of Gloversville and Johns town ami other parts of Fulton county were in complete darkness for two hours, and all electric power entirely suspended for the same period. A Hook of blackbirds alighted on the high tension wires ubout two miles from Gloversville, causing a short-circuit, which burned off the wires, which dropped to the ground In the midst of bodies of birds.?Gloversvllle, N. V.. Dispatch in the New York World. i yt^. VAST FORTUNE FOR MEN WHO FIND PIRATE LOOT Qold And Jewels Lie In Hidden Caves And In Hulks Of Sunken Galleons Beneath Ocean Billows. There Is at least a billion dollars lying around in various parts of the world in gold and silver and jewels waiting for the first comer to pick it up. But don't get excited. You can't pick it up. Thousands of treasureseekers have tried and failed. There is no secret about where this enormous fortune is located. For example, the Seaman's Journal prints a list of treasures trove which includes the Forentia, flag ship of the Spanish Armada, sunk off the west coast of Scotland with $15,000.000 in gold In 1588. The Spanish galleons scuttled in Vigo Bay to avoid capture by the English in 1702 were loaded with gold, Bilver- and Jewels valued at $120,000,000. Benito Bonito, la3t of the great pirates, planted $60,000,000, looted from the west coast of South America, on Cocos Island 300 miles off Panama. Eighteen expeditions have fitted out openly and many more secretly to seek this treasure. Millions are believed to have been buried on the Bay Islands off Honduras by Francois Olonois, the French freebooter. Many More Listed In addition to all the treasure sunk by German submarines in the great war, the Seaman's Journal lists the following: On Alboran Island, a rock in the Mediterranean, lies $5,000,000 in gold buried by a pirate crew of the "Young Constitution," when cornered by a British gunboat in 1831; the "Black Prince," loaded with $3,000,000 in gold to pay the British soldiers, was sunk by Russian gunfire at Sebastopol; the East Indian "Grosvenor" went down off St. John's Cape Colony with $5,000,000 aboard. On the island of Mauritius is buried $150,000,000 in gold, silver and precious stones, pirate loot from the French and English ships which in turn had looted India; and on a little ieland in the Spanish Main lies $1,200,000 in gold hidden by the French pirate, Latrobe, one hundred years ago, and another treasure estimated at $6,000,000 is buried near by, while a pirate hoard of $5,000,000 lies on an island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Seventy Turkish vessels sunk in the famous fight of Navarino in October, 1827, by the Anglo-French-Russian fleet carried $5,000,000. "Oom Paul" Kruger had something like $4,000,000 when he fled from South Africa. Some declare it was lost in the wreck of tha "Zululand" in Delagoa bay; others say it is burled in the Transvaal mountains. Lying 110 feet below the surface of Lake Naomi are two galleys belonging to the Roman emperors Tiberius and Galigula, which contain gold, jewels and art treasures worth at leaBt $5,000,000. Lost Spanish Gold Three Spanish ships sunk by Admiral Blake off Cadiz, Spain, hold $5,000,000 in gold. The Spanish treasure ships foundered in Santa Cruz bay, Canary Islands, contained $10,000,000. On West Indian islands lieB $5,000,000 burled by the daring Captain Kid, most notorious of all pirates. The $2,000,000 hoard of Captain Melville, Australian bushwhacker, is hidden in the bush of Australia. The treasures and loot of Attila the Hun, $50,000,000 in all, lie buried somewhere under the River Danube. There can be no doubt that these treasures exist But whether under thirty fathoms of water or as dry as an undertaker's eye, they are out of reach. However, there is treasure that can be picked up with little effort. It is right at your hand; in fact, it is part of your own pay. All you have to do is save it by investing it in Government SavingB Securities. The hundred you can have by saving and safe investment may not sound so interesting as the million you cannot touch, but it is a lot more useful. You can get your hands on it DAMS WILL PREVENT FLOODS Catastrophe That Overwhelmed the City of Pueblo Can Be Avoided by Proper Action. A disastrous flood occurs, cnusing a loss of many human lives uud millions of dollurs' worth of property. What happens next? What precautions are taken to prevent disaster? Usually what happens is that the suffering community courageously undertakes the task of reconstruction. The flood is called an "act of God," and confidence is felt that there will be no repetition of the calamity. But the conditions that gave rise to the disaster continue to exist, and such being the case, there is no assurance that it will not repeat its< If. If the catastrophe that overwhelmed the city of Pueblo is not to be repeated, again and yet again perhaps, preventive measures must be adopted. Dams must be built and reservoirs constructed at the headwaters of the Arkansas river to Impound its floods. The government reclamation service points out that floods not less destructive might occur in any year on the Rio Grande if the waters of that stream were not held in leash by the great Elephant Butte dam. Before that dam, with its vast reservoir, was constructed, flood time and again wreaked havoc in the vicinity of El Paso. The Elephant Butte dam Is one of tlie greatest engineering works ?>u the globe. It is 3(X? feet high, nearly onethird of a mile long, and ereates the largest irrigation reservoir in the world ?an artificial lake covering till square miles and averaging 70 feet in depth. The water contained in the reservoir would cover the whole state of Connecticut to a depth of ten inches. Development of similar works on the headwaters of the Arkansas river would not only prevent future floods, hut would store water for Irrigating hundreds of thousands of acres, and furnish water power for all the manufacturing industries in that part of the country. t - gffry I Life'* Various Stages.
