ter. and th is can be brought in prox
imity with any portion of the body
while the remainder is given hot
treatments by other appliances. The
special function of the cooling tank
is to regulate the temperature of a
pyretic or febrile patient—as, for in
stance, in spinal meningitis, pneumo
nia, typhoid fever and all forms of
eruptive diseases, where bodily tem
perature plays such an important
role. In spinal meningitis and ty
phoid it may be necessary to apply
heat to the spinal column and neck
of the patient to produce muscular
relaxation, while the general temper
ature is reduced by the application of
the cooling apparatus tv. i/.her parts
of the body. The mattress of the bed
is adapted to be inflated with hot
water or air, and in order to main
tain the water at the required tem
perature the mattress is connected
with the water heater in proximity
to the bed by means of a pipe. It
will be noticed that supports for a
fractured arm or leg are also pro
vided, as well as a thermometer, writ

glasses, etc. The designer of the ap
pliance is Adolfo Luma, of Chicago,

HUNDRED YEARS HENCE.
The Fearsome Future Woman to
Wliom the English May He
peeled to Look Forward.
This is what the writer in one of
the English magazines predicts will
be the state of affairs when another
century rolls around:
"By that time women will be all
fix feet in height, many of them con
siderably over, while the average
height of a man will be five feet
nothing. Woman will be strong and
lusty; broad and heavy in build, and
will be very proud of her large feet,
thick wrists, powerful limbs and
great muscular development, while
men will have grown vain of their
trimly-corseted waists, nice pink and
white complexions and soft voices.
"Love will not have been complete
ly done away with, though sentiment
will have given away to common
sense. Every woman will be required
to marry and support two husbands,
one of whom must bo n useful, do
mesticated creature, capable of tend
ing the children and looking after
the household (while the wife is away
in the city earning good money to
keep the home together), and the
other will be a better looking, and
therefore more ornamental creature
(not a 'general utility' man like the
'housekeeper'), whose duties will be
to act as companion or 'gentleman
help' to the mistress and ruler of the
mansion, and keep things up to the
mark generally.
"Women a century hence will all
wear 'bloomers,' both literally and
figuratively speaking; any woman
transgressing by appearing in a long
tailed skirt will be condemned to act
as public street scavenger for as long
h period as the local council shall de
termine. Women will also wear a
mustache, and the faces of men will
gradually become smooth. Cooks
will no longer be at a premium, as
tiny tabloids of food will take the
place of the elaborate dishes of the
past. We shall be able to get through
a six-course dinner in about two min
utes, a tabloid for each course, or, if
we prefer it, we can have, multum in
parvo, a tabloid with everything com
pressed and condensed into one har
monious whole."
A Moderate W rrtilinftr Outfit.
A moderate outfit for a bride would
be a good street costume, several odd
bodices, a black skirt, a silk gown and
e house gown. These, with the clothes
which she already has, entirely reno
vated and re/iodeled, and a sufficient
amount of neatly-made underclothing
is all that any girl in moderate cir
cumstances needs for her trouseau—
even less would be in order. —Emma M.
llooper. in Ladies' Home Journal.
An ISfieetlve Compromise.
Little Daisy's aunt had given her a.
doll so dressed that she couldn't tell
whether it was a girl or a boy. She
iooked at it in great perplexity for a
few minutes and then said: '".Never
Blind, little boy; be a good girl."
FEEDING THE BABY.
All Milk Given to Little Children
Should lie rl 1 luetl. nnd S<-a
--■ oiicd Jiiftt a Little lilt.
There has been a great change for.
the better in the feeding of little
children in the last score of years.
Far more children who are deprived
of their mothers' milk thrive on ar
tificial feeding than formerly. This
is chiefly due to the process of sterili
zation. All milk led to infants or
little children who live largely on
milk should be sterilized. This should
be done to destroy impurities which
the milk may receive from contact
with the air and from vessels which
hold it, as well as to destroy germs
of typhoid fever, tuberculosis or
other diseases which may be Deceived
from the cow. The importance of
sterilization, therefore, cannot be in
sisted upon too strongly. Apparatus
is sold for this purpose, so that it
may be easily accomplished in any
kitchen with little trouble. Formerly
the milk of one cow was insisted
upon. Some authorities object to this,
preferring a child should be fed from
a mixture of the milk of different
cows.
There is more salt and sugar in-hu
man milk than in cow's milk. A very
little loaf sugar and a little salt
should be added to milk given to an
infant. A safe rule for feeding little
infants is to boil a teaspoonful of
powdered barley and a little salt in a
gill of water for 15 minutes. Strain
the mixture through a fine strainer
which is kept for the purpose and
sterilized every time it is used. Add
to this mixture as much cow's milk
and a little sugar. This preparation
can be taken from a bottle. Some
times oatmeal must be substituted
for barley. Use oatmeal in place of
barley if the child's bowels are not as
open as they should be. For * very
young child physicians generally rec
ommend cow's milk, weakened only
with water. If it sours on the stom
ach, as it may, make a very thin,
transparent mucilage of the best gum
arabic and milk, sweetened and fla
vored with a little salt, and give the
child a little. It is a simple, harmless
medicine. —X. Y. Weekly.
TRAP FOR COCKROACHES.
Pennsylvania Man Has Invented a
Contrivance That Keeps Them
Off the Dining Table.
To find a roach crawling on the
dining table fills the heart of many a
housewife with disgust, and she is
tempted to kill him instantly, which.
BUG TRAP FOR TABLE LEGS.
of course, soils the cloth. The best
way i.s to prevent the pests from
climbing tip the table legs, and that
is just what the invention of I'. J.
McAtee, of Gilberton, l*a., is designed
to accomplish. We illustrate the idea
in the accompanying picture, a por
tion of the trap being cut away to
give a view of the interior arrange
ment. The bug who climbs this table
leg must not only know how to swim,
but also be able to find his way out
of the trap when once inside, and the
chances of his reaching the top are
small indeed. The slanting upper
wall of the trap is highly polished,
and this causes many of the insects
to fall into the liquid as soon as
they attempt to crawl across it. The
liquid may be kerosene or some poi
son, making it impossible for the in
sects to long survive a bath in the
trap. The invention may be used on
tables, beds, dressers, and, in fact,
any article of furniture on which cas
tors are used, as it comprises a cas
tor with an extra long shank, having
the trap surrounding- the lower por
tion and adapted to support the leg
as shown.—Chicago Daily News.
BOSSY'S EXPLOSIVE CUD.
Cow Swallowed a Ilnneh of Fire
crackers and Ma telle* ar.d Mude
n Show of Herself.
A peculiar circumstance happened
near Rochester, N. V., not long ago,
where a gentleman was spending a
few days with his family. The fences
were down so that the cattle could
roam at will along the lake shore,
nnd in doing so one cow came across
a small package which she began to
devour with a relish.
Suddenly there was noticed by the
occupants of the cottage a flash and
then a loud report.. Fire flashed out
of the mouth of the cow, which made
a desperate attempt to get rid of
something unusual to her ns a diet.
The onlookers were established as
well as the cow, and the latter, with
a great gulp, swallowed what had
created the rumpus in her mouth
and all was quiet again. The solu
tion of the matter was that the ani
mal had gathered in her mouth while
browsing a small package of fire
crackers and parlor matcnes mixed,
which had been thrown down by vis
itors, and in chewing the stuff had
set one of the matches ablaze. This
in turn fired a firecracker, and hence
the explosion which astonished the
people and the cow.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS.
What suffering frequently results
from a mother's ignorance; or more
frequently from a mother's neglect to
properly instruct her daughter !
Tradition says "woman must suf
fer," and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and a great del'
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment, and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina
tion ; but no mother nedd hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. l'inkham's address is
Lynn, Mass.
pfAi zoi'M
Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South
Byron, Wis., mother of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Sirs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, the mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
| Compound cured her daughter of all
\ pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu
lating woman's peculiar monthly

Noticeable Among the
Weak and Ailing.
Spring the Time Death Reaps
Its Largest Harvest.
There is a Way of Eluding the
Grim Destroyer.
Every Spring it is noticeable how many
people are taken away that we have been
accustomed to see in our daily life.
Statistics show that at no other season of
I the year does so many deaths occur.
Especially large is the mortality among
weak and sickly people.
The reason lor this is apparent, fhe body
that is weakened by age or disease has mucli
to contend with during the Winter months.
Insufficient exercise frequently has been
taken. Too much starchy and fatty foods
have been eaten. The system has been
allowed to become run down, and when
Soring comes with its bright, sunshiny days,
older people will begin to realize that their
vitality has become very low. The same
thing is true of people who are naturally
sickly and weak.
This is the season of the year when even a
strong person feels at his worst. That tired,
restless feeling is experienced by too many.
There need not) beasmany deaths this year
BS usually take place. A little care will ward
oil many Spring funerals. If one is weak or
ailing they should take time by the forelock
and take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. This great medicine has been
in many cases, and will continue to be, the
means by which the black angel of Death
lias been driven from the threshold. It
dispelsthegrimdestroyer in a scientific way,
for it purifies the blood and gives strength
and vitality to the nerves. It tones up and
restores to a healthy condition all of the
great life-giving organs of the body.
Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy will enable those who take it to
throw off little ills that prove dangerous
only when they attack a system already
wasted and weakened.
From many people, who have experienced
benefit from this greatest of all life-length
eners, comes the following from the famous
General Longstreet of 1217 New Hampshire
Ave., Washington, D. C. He says:
"It gives me great pleasure to add my
testimony with many others for Dr.Greene's
Remedy, which I have used with highly
beneficial results, and I am able to recom
mend its virtues from experience. I have
used it for catarrh and have derived help."
Mr. Wellington Dynes, Elizabethtown,
N. Y., writes:
"I feel it my duty to tell how much good
Dr. Greene's Nervura has done me. I was so
run down that I could not sleep at night and
everything worried me. I had no appetite
and could not work, my head ached all the
time and there was an all-gone feeling in my
stomach, and I was always looking on the
dark side of everything. 1 began to take Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy
and in less than three weeks I felt like a
new man. I can now do as much work as is
expected of a man of my age. I advise any
one who is troubled to take Dr. Greene's
Nervura. Do not go to a doctor, but get a
bottle of Dr. Greene's Nervura. It is cheap
er than a doctor's bill."
The latter part of Mr. Hynes's advice
might be profitably disregarded, however, if
you should feel you would like the advice of
a physician. You can have such advice and
have it free if you will write or call on the
freatest known blood and nerve specialist,
