The looking rIiiss, whether a plus or minim iu;intit.v. plays a more Impor tant part In the Hkkroom than most nurses and physicians give It credit for. The patient who Is allowed to look Into one Is likely to he frlKlitencd Into n re lapse at si'ht of his cadaverous appear ance, while the one who Is not allowed to look is similarly affected by the re fusal, which he attributes to the fact that his face Is too much for his nerves. "All things considered. I think It a pood plan to plve n sick person n chance to look nt himself occasionally," said a doctor. "Of course the indul gence must he grunted with discretion. If n patient Is really looking seedy a turn at the looking glass Is equivalent to signing his death warrant, hut if taken nt a time when braced up by some stimulant or a natural ebullition of vital force n few minutes of com munion with his own visage beats any tonic I can prescribe. It thrills the pa tient with new hope. It makes him feel that he Isn't quite so far gone as he hail thought and that possibly a fight for life is. after all, worth while. "IVing thus sensitive, n persistent withholding of u mirror convinces the patient that he must he too horrible for contemplation, and he promptly de cides that the best tiling for him to do is to give up the ghost and get out of the way. That Is one mistake hospi tals were apt to make tip to n few years ago. When I was a young fellow, getting my first practice after gradua tion, I served on the staff of several hospitals, and In nil, especially In the free wards, those aids to vanity were strictly forbidden. The deprivation went hard with many of the patients, particularly the women, and when I came to have a little authority among doctors and nurses I advised a Judi cious application of looking glass treat ment I. still advise It both in hospital SILBERBERG, RANGES ffl and private practice, for 1 tlml that a little reassurance as to the state of the complexion and the appearance In gen eral goes n long way toward effecting a cure."

Itlack and white walnuts ns well as hickory nuts contain nitrogen and oil, but no starch. Blend with rice or pota toes. Coconnuts contain very little nitro gen, but are rich hi oil. The fiber is difficult of digestion. The cream and milk are excellent for salads and sauces. Peanuts are very rich In nitrogen and contain considerable starch and oil. When boiled and mashed they are much better than when roasted and ground. Almonds are really digesters or appe tizers. They are too expensive to be used alone In large quantities. Four or live thoroughly masticated at the end of a meal will frequently aid In the digestion of other foods. Lndles' Home Journal. Follow loir Dream "To compel our thoughts to follow vie memory of dreams and on no i count to revert to any subject of wi lug thought, pleasant or otherwise' that is a woman's formula for sleep. "If we have already Blent in the night," she says, "we should, In trying to sleep again, recall the dreams of tht previous sleep and carry them on. If we have not slept, then it is necessary to go back to old dreams, which Is rather more exertion and less certainly successful. But even this Is far bettei for sleep than allowing the memory to revert to any waking thoughts or to tho familiar old devices of counting a hundred or picturing sheep, etc." PROPOSED RAILWAY MERGER.

'Please, sir,' said the verier to the or ganist, 'the bishop has sent me to you to say he will slug the litany.' 'All right.' said the organist. Seeing the verger remain, he said 'You need not stay.' 'Please, sir, the bishop asked me to ask you if you would give him a something I didn't quite catch note." "You mean the re citing note.' 'That's It. sir that's it.

Tor Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of DROWNING IS QUICK. Has Cannot Live l ailer Wntcr .More Thou Two Minutrn. "The story frequently repeated about professional divers who have been able to reiuuia under water for over two minutes Is silly," snld a doctor. "No one can remain under water that long without drowning, whether he Is n trained diver or not. At Nnvarino, where tho sponge divers are reported to be able to remain under water three and four minutes, tests were made re cently and resulted In conclusively proving that none of them remained down as long ns n minute and n half. Ninety seconds seems a very long time to the watcher on shore, and It Is about the limit of a diver's endurance under water. At Ceylon, where time tests were also made among the famous peorl divers, it was ascertained that few of them remained below the sur face ns long as n minute, and other tests made on the Bed sen among the Arabs proved that a minute and a quarter was the longest they could endure without u fresh breath. "On the coiiRt of England several years ngo a diver, n trained diver, one of the boRt on the const, renowned for his endurance, went down and was pulled up so slowly when ho gave the signal that ho was under water about two minutes and live seconds. He was drawn out of the water Insensible, with blood Mowing from his nose and ears, and it was only after long and arduous work that his recovery from the effects of that two minute stay under water was assured. Prowiilng Is a quick death. Even though the water Is kept out of the lungs, Insensibility will ensue In one minute and complete unconsciousness in two. The stories of people who hnve been In the water five minutes being resuscitated are gen erally mistakes or untrue. A man could not be in the water five minutes without coming to the surface several times and be restored to life." St. Louis Globe-nemocrat. THE CASPIAN SEA. One of the HcmnrUnhle I'hyalrnl I'Rlnra of the (.lobe. One of the most remarkable physical features of the globe Is the deep and wide depression in the nollow of which stands the Caspian sea and near to It the sea of Aral. The Caspian Is nearly as large ns Franco, and its surface is eighty-four feet below the level of the Black sen. The sea of Aral Is nearly as large ns Ireland and Is very little over the sen level. Within recent geo logical times the vast expanse In which these lakes ure found was sen. Its floor has been gradually raised, and the waters filling the depressions nro nil that Is left of an ancient Mediterra nean. A strange feature of both bodies of water Is that although they receive large rivers, especially the Caspian, Into which the Volga, the Ural river and scores of streams from the Cau casus flow, both have for ninny years been getting shallower. Evaporation, for they have no outlet, exceeds the In flow. But, for some climatic reason probably, the soa of Aral and Its neigh bor, Lake Balkhash, have since 1.SP1 been increasing In depth. Yhereas the Caspian, like the ltead sea, is very salt, owing to the rate of evaporation, Aral and Balkhash ure brackish only. These remnants of what was once a great sea opening Into the ocean, ns the Mediterranean does now, still con tain marine lish and seuis. Some of the latter survive in the Aral nud Bai kal lakes, having gradually become fitted for their habitat, though It is no longer salt, but merely brackish, and, In the case of Baikal, actually fresh water.
