bad back, and distressing urin
ary disorders. McConnellsburg

Pills. Be guided by thoir exper
ience. Riley Peck, shoemaker, Mc
Connellsburg, says: "I was
troubled with my kidneys and
had nor ones in mv back. I was
dizzy at times and it affected my
eyes. 1 had to get up often at
night on account of the kidney
secretion and I was tired out in

Sootla'a Firebrand Signal.
Crantara was a military signal
employed by the Scottish highland
chiefs. It was a firebrand or wood
en cross, which after being dipped
in the blood of a goat was sent by a
swift footed herald, who delivered
it without a word save the name of
the place of rendezvous. Tho fleet
est runner of that hamlet was in
stantly dispatched witli tho signal to
the next, whence it was borne to a
third, and so on until every village
within the chief's domain had re
ceived tho summons. It was last
circulated in 1745.
Accepting tha Inevitable.
Wonderful are the Hindus for
accepting the inevitable. Tell one
of these that he must take castor
oil and he will drain the oleaginous
cup to the dregs and smack his lips.
Tell him that his leg must be am
putated and he will present the limb
lor dismemberment and smile as ho
sees it severed. Tell him that he is
to be hanged and with no touch of
emotion whatever he will reply, "Jo
hookm" ("Whatever is ordered"),
just as if ho had been told that he
must have his corns cut London
Standard.
Anawerlnj tha Dean.
The man whom Thackeray calls
"the greatest wit of all time"
Dean Swift of St. Patriots cathe
dral, Dublin was as ready to take
as to make a retort.
"Why don't you doff your hat to
me?" he asked a small boy who was
coaxing along an obstreperous goat.
"I will," said the lad, "if your
honor will hold the gout's horns,"
an answer that delighted the dean.
A Notable Event.
"People often preserve tho pens
with which historical documents are

"Quite so," sii id his wife. "I

SLEEP AND GOOD HEALTH.
Proper Rett la Essential to Bodily and
Montal Vigor.
High strung nerves, stomach trou
ble, hc-adndics and general ill health
may u'l result from sleeping under
poor hygienic conditions. It makes
little difference upon what you sleep
provided von are iiccustomed to that
i kind of bed and 'awake the next
day refreshed and (it. But if you
would rest well and get most out of
your Bleep the body should .have
some preparation before retiring.
Too many people tumble into bed
with a . body truly filthy and a skin
very little more active than rawhide.
The waxy materials from the skin
glands become mixed with sweat
and dust during the day, and when
this mixture becomes dry the pores
are closed up and become diseased
and inactive.
Good health cannot continue in
definitely under these conditions,
and if the wastes are not properly
got rid of the sleep will be restless
and fitful. A bath of some kind
will well repay the trouble not only
at the time, but in helping to keep
the internal organs healthy, be-
causo an active skin will do its share
in clearing up the debris of the day
just past.
If you must keep all tho other
windows closed tight, for goodness
sake open tho windows of the bed
room. Night air is dangerous?
One would think all air was danger
ous the way most folks shut it out
of tho house.
Thero is every reason why you
should keep tho bedroom windows
open, and, except in raro instances,
there is no reason why they should
be closed, even in the coldest win
ter. If drafts from open windows
are objectionable tho location of the
bed should be changed.
Unfortunately houses have not
been built for comfortable living.
Get your windows down from the
top in the bedrooms and nail them
down so that they cannot be closed.
If you cannot live in the fresh air
this world i? not the place for you.
After you havo learned to sleep in
the pure air you will havo fewer
bodily ailments. Tho great sacrifice
of useful lives to tuberculosis would
not occur if the sleeping rooms had
tho sash entirely removed instead of
being closed tightly. Dr. Julian
Clarke in Farm and Home.
Too Big-a Compliment.
Miss Henrietta was not a sylph
by any means, but she prided her
self upon the neatness of her well
rounded figure, and when she ap
peared on tho hotel veranda one
summer day with a cluster of white
ox eye daisies pinned against tho
crisp freshness of her green linen
frock gallant old Colonel Floyd was
moved to make her a pretty speech.
"What charming posies!" he re
marked, with a Chesterficldian bow.
"They suit you exactly. You look
like a Virginia hillside."
lie was mystified at tho frigidity
with which Miss Henrietta received
his bit of homage. Youth's Com
panion. Laughter.
Laughter, while it lasts, slackens
and unbraces the mind, weakens the
faculties and causes a kind of re
missness and dissolution in all the
powers of the soul, and thus far it
may be looked upon as a weakness
in the composition of human nature.
But if wo consider tho frequent re
liefs we receive from it aud how
often it breaks the gloom which is
apt to depress the mind and damp
our spirits with transient unexpect
ed gleams of joy one would take
care not to grow too wise for so
great a pleasure of life. Addison.
Good Action.
Every good act is charity. Giving
water to tho thirsty is charity. Re
moving stones and thorns from the
road is charity. Exhorting your fel
low men to virtuous deeds is charity.
Smiling in your brother's face is
charity. Putting a wanderer in the
right path is charity. A man's true
wealth is the good he docs in this
world. Whon he dies mortals will
ask what property has he left be
hind him, but angels will inquire,
"What good deeds hast thou sent
before thee ?" Mohammed.
Contentment.
Socrates, on being invited by
Archelaus to como to his house and
ho would make him rich, sent this
response, that in Athens a measure
of flour could be bought for a cent
and there was water in the public
fountains. "If my things do not
seem sufficient for me," he added,
"I adapt myself to them, and so
they become sufficient." Plutarch.

"My husband," sobbed Mrs. Friv

SURGERY BY WIRELESS.
How Human Life Waa 8aved by
Long Dietance Treatment. '
A perplexing medical problem
wih picked up one day by the wire
less man of the steamship I'aris
mina while crossing the gulf of
Mexico. A bad accident had bo
fallen the patient in this case, his
foot was crushed and nearly sever
ed from his leg, and only a surgical
operation could save his life.
The wireless cull came from' the
island of Sums, well out of the path
of regular ships and hopelessly far
from any shore station. Here lived
d small colony, Crusoe fashion, en
gaged in mining phosphates. An
occasional tramp steamer was their
only mcuns of traveling to and from
the mainland, and there was no doc
tor in less than a week's sail. Suma,
luckily, had ono modern conveni
ence a powerful wireless station
and this had. flung the call for help
far and wide across tho gulf. The
patient meanwhile was rapidly grow
ing weaker from the loss of blood.
The officers of the Parismina held
a hasty consultation. The island
was just 110 miles away and oil the
course, and it would mean loss of
time and money to turn about.
"Leave this case to the wireless
operator and mo," said the ship's
doctor.
A wireless message was thereupon
sent out, signed by Dr C. S. Carter
of the Parismina, asking for all de
tails of the patient s condition. All
this was but the work of a few min
utes. Tho doctor transferred his
office to the wireless room in order
to save time in communicating with
ins case. Die reply came back di
rectly. The toes were held only by
a few ligaments, and the patient
was weaker. His pulse was given
and his temperature, llien the doc
tor set to work.
A long wireless message told the
amateur surgeons just how to pre
pare a strong antiseptic and wash
the wound. This was done, and tho
island station stood by for further
orders. A still longer mcssngo was
then clicked off, describing just how
to cut awny the injured part and to
bind the arteries with a ligature to
prevent the loss of blood. There
was an anxious interval in the wire
less booth awaiting the reply from
Suma. The next message to tho
ship told that the hemorrhage had
ceased and immediate danger was
over.
There remained, however, tho
danger of infection, and the doctor
of the Parismina directed that regu
lar readings 'be made of the pa
tient's temperature and his condi
tion reported at frequent intervals.
He was thus able to watch his pa
tient closely for any symptoms of
blood poisoning. The wireless treat
ment went on continuously until the
steamer was 420 miles away, when
Dr. Carter was able to dismiss tho
case. From "The Wireless Man."
St. Paul'a Book of Autographa.
Every preacher who occupies the
pulpit at St. Paul's, in London,
signs his name after the service in
a hook that is kept in the vestry, a
book which dates back to 172G, the
earliest signature in it being "Ed
ward Stillingflcet." This is for au
tographs one of the most valuable
books in existence, as it contains
tho signatures of great numbers of
eminent churchmen for nearly 200
years.
Make tho Beat of It
Why not make tho best of all the
conditions that confront us? There
ure many people who continually
contrive to catch hold of the thorny
part of existence, to run up against
all the sharp corners and disagree
able things. Half the strength
spent in grumbling would often set
tilings right. No one finds the
world quito as he or she would
like it
Broad Enough.
A large and stout woman called
on a friend and whilo waiting for

"Why, you see, mamma said you
were so narrow in your views, and I
was wondering what view she got"

Soft For Beggar Chief.
At a Chinese wedding the "hosr-

begs from all the guests, but in re
turn keeps other mendicants from
the marriage feast. The beggaf

as much as $15,000 a year, and out
of this he pays the common or
street beggars to keep away from so

Washington, Dec. 18. Tho Congres
sional Joint Committee on Interstate
Commerce, which bat; been conducting
the Inquiry Into government regulation
and control of transportation, last
week decided to sufiend Its bearings
on the subject and adjourned, subject
to the call of the chairman, because of
the pressure of other work before Con
grcfis. According to the resolution cre
ating tho committee., it is required to
submit a report by January 8th next
It Is understood that before that time
the. committee will ak for nn exten
sion of time and that the hearings will
be resumed at a Inter date, when some
of those who already have appenred
before the committee will bo question
ed further and a great ninny others
will be henrd. It Is probable, howev
er, that the hearings will not be resum
ed until nfter adjournment of Congress
on March 4th. In addition to regular
routine business the commerce com
mittees of the two houses are charged
with the Important duty of preparing
and presenting the legislation asked
for by President Wilson to mnkc im
possible a rallrond strike without pre
vious Investigation. This will leave
little or no time for the conslderstlnn
of the general questions of railway
regulation.
Country Wants Something Done.
Members of Congress and others
who are interested In the Inquiry un
dertaken by the Newlaiuls Committee
insist that there is no iuteiitlou of
abandoning It.
It seems doubtful, Indeed, If the
country would permit tho matter to
be dropped If there were evidence of a
desire on the part of Congress to do
so. The nntion-wldo evidences of in
terest evoked by the inltiutlou of the
Newluuds Inquiry show that tho peo
ple of the country shippers, consum
ers and Investors, as well as rullway
men themselves are alive to the fact
that the railway situation Is highly un
satisfactory and thut steps must be
taken without unnecessary delay to
make it possible for the railroads to
meet the growing needs of the nation.
From reports received here It seems
as though almost every commercial or
ganization and business interest In the
country were engaged in studying the
railroad question. The Chamber of
Commerce of the United States has
been conducting an elaborate Inquiry
Into various phases of the subject for
many inoutris past. Many local aud
state commercial bodies in every part
of tho country have committees en
gaged In study of the problem and
have indicated a desire to come here
and present their views. National or
ganizations of manufacturers, lumber
men, coal operators, wholesale and re
tail dealers, have expressed through
resolutions their desire for the unifica
tion of the system of railway regula
tion. Tho National Industrial Truflic
League, sjieaklng from the viewpoint
of shippers using the railways, has
indorsed exclusive federal regulntion
providing It Is accomplished In such a
way as to give full protection and
prompt adjustment in matters relating
to transportation within the states.
Many Intaresta Studying Problem.
All these, organizations represent pri
marily the shippers of tho country, but
they are not the only ones who are
taking a band In the discussion. The
Investors of the nation, thrcugh their
own associations and through commit
tees representing the savings banks aud
other financial organizations, are pro
paring to show the necessity of Improv
ing railroad credit and protecting the
rights of those whose money is Invest
ed In railway securities. Finally the
railroads themselves, being vitally con
corned In the improvement of existing
conditions, are planning to submit their
views through their executives, oper
ating officials and trntrtc experts and
to assert their willingness to accept far
reaching federal retention along lines
that will enable them to attract capital
and to provide the facilities needed for
the prompt and eftlclent handling of
the country's transportation business.
Main Trouble le Too Many Maatera.
Not all of these Interests are In ac
Cord as to the remedies that should be
adopted. There seems to lie a general
agreement, however, that mnny of the
difficulties which confront the rallioud
nnd which make It Impossible for them
to meet the requirements of the na
tion's commerce promptly mid witisfue
torlly arise from the haphazard and
jften conflicting measures of regulation
that havo been adopted from time to
time by the federal government and the
forty-eight stntes and that what 1
needed is a well ordered, systoraatl"
scheme of federal regulation that sbnll
cover the whole country and make II
possible for the railroads to provide the
extensions nnd Improved facilities so
badly needed, while at the same time
protecting fully the public lutercsts.
BAFFLING PROBLEMS.
Poaara That Man'u Brain Haa Never
Been Able to Conquer.
For the man to whom the mys
terious appeals there is no hick of
problems which havo bullied the
cleverest brains for generations and
in many cases for long centuries and
still remain as fur from solution ni
ever. x
If ho is mathematically inclined
Jie can win immortal fame by solv
ing the problem of how to "square
the circlo." Tho cleverest brains of
all ages' and countries havo wrestle,'
in vain to discover exactly tho relt.'
tion between tho circumferenco a&
the diameter of a circle.
One Dutch professor gavo nenrli
fifty yenrs of his life to tho task
He worked out tho equation to ovt .
700 places of decimals and was thot
littlo nearer tho end of his calcula.
tions than when he began.
No less elusive is tho squaro rrv;
of two. Thousands of years in tin
aggregate have been spent in en
deavoring to mako this calculation.
It has been worked out to j;
places of decimals by one enthusi
ast, but the exact square root rt
mains and probably always will re
main unfound.

tho day of its discovery was drawin;
near, it still seems as remote a

Countless men, too, have beer

perpetual motion, and the man win'
