In the general plan, equipment and application of electric power to the working of the new electric under ground and elevated railways in Ber lin, little is presented which can be regarded as novel or especially sug gestive. The one respect in which Ger man constructors leave others far be hind and offer an object lesson worth refill study, is in the artistic beauty, lnhe architectural charm and sense of fitness, which they have imparted to the stations, the bridges, and even tho ordinary overhead viaduct sections of the new road. In Germany the require ments of public taste are never per mitted to be neglected or forgotten. Where the new Berlin line passes through a public square, it Is on solid and artistically designed masonry. The above ground stations aro of stone, steel and glass, no two alike,but each especially designed to fit, not only tho requirements of traffic, at that point, but the adjacent buildings as well—the architectural framework in which it is set. The whole arrange ment of the enterprise, from start to finish, illustrates the wise, firm con trol which the municipality of Berlin maintains over corporations which ask for franchises at its hands. Patrolling the Ocean. A plan is projected by which a regu- line of steam lifeboats shall do on T tho ocean what the Red Cross Society \ does on tho battlefield. It is to bo known as the International Blue Cross Lino, and will have a certain number of spocially designed boats, which will patrol tho seas over fixed and known routes, following tho main ocean high ways. It is believed that if captains knew that at a certain time one of these boats would bo within sight of a certain latitude and longitude, many crippled ships and their crews would be saved. It is proposed to make the plan a business venture, with fixed 6&lvage charges, and this promises bettor for its success than if it were purely a philanthropic scheme. The multiplication of railways has not diminished the number of postal stages in Germany. On the contrary, the number of stage drivers rose from 6,176 in 1896 to 5,314 in 1900.

It has re minded our people that they have been using fuel wastefully. The natural resources of the United States are so gTeat that something out of the usual is necessary to convey the lesson that there is a limit to them. But it is not merely in the matter of wastefulness that fuel has been abused. The sani tary argument is even stronger than that based on economy. In America we indulge in hot rooms to a degree unknown in other parts of the world. Some of those who lecture us on the subject probably err on the other side. The cold rooms of Germany and France have their drawbacks, and there is reason to believe that they are often insufficiently heated. But that does not, in any degree, excuse the hot rooms to which Americans aro very commonly subjected. It is not the degree of cold which is so fatal to health as the sudden transition from licat to cold. To quit a room at the temperature of a day in July and go into a zero temperature is necessarily perilous, yet this is a common inci dent of American experience. It has cost many a man his life, and caused others troublesome attacks of illness. With coal at abnormal prices the temptation io use too much fuel is not so strong. When normal rates are re stored, it is altogether likely that most of the people will forget the prudence which necessity has taught them.

We derive from the blood life, power, beauty and reason, as the doctors have been saying from time im memorial. A healthy body, a freah appear ance, and generally all the abilities we pos sess depend on that source o£ "life. It ia therefore the duty of every sensible man to keep the blood a* pure and normal as pos sible. Nature, io its infinite wisdom, hoa given us a thermometer inckicatihg the state of the blood, which appeals to our reason by giving notice of its impurity. Small eruptions of the skin, to which we scarcely pay any attention, headache, ringing noises in the ears, lassitude, sleeplessness, are generally a sign that the blood is not in its normal state, but ia filled with noxious sub stances. These symptoms deservo our full attention. If more attention were paid to those symptoms, and steps taken to re move them then many illnesses from which we'suffer would become unknown, and the human body would become stronger and J healthier. Attention therefore should be , paid to those warning signs, and the blood J can be purified and ooisouous substances removed from it by the use of Dr. August Kocnig's Hamburg Drops, discovered more than 60 years ago.

Confederate Saved His Life. t / T T 7 HERE'S one old Confcd , I crate I love," said Dr. J. | ' J. Purmtn, a Pennsyl "g- vanian now employed in the Pension Office, Washington. "I love him because he saved my life, nnd he did it at the risk of being shot into kingdom come, too. The man who did this for me is Thomas P. Oliver, now living at Athens, Ga. "I was First Lieutenant of Company A, One Hundred and Fortieth Penn sylvania Infantry, and on July 2 at Gettysburg I received a shot in my left leg below the knee, bringing me down with both hones crushed. My regiment was falling back over the 'wbeatfleld,' nnd I baited to assist a comra.do who was badly wounded. The enemy was closing in on me, nnd I was in point blank range of their tire. After plac ing my comrade between two rocks, where I thought he would be shielded from the enemy's fire, I started after my retreating comrndes. I was com manded to halt, which I refused to do, nnd I had not gone far before I was lilt. Tlio regiment charged over me, and as I was unable to crawl off the field. I lay there all night. "The next morning the battle was re newed, the Pennsylvania reserves be ing on one side of the 'whentfleld' and the Twenty-fourth Georgia on the other. The whole day a desultory fire was kept up, nnd about the middle of the afternoon n hall flying low passed through my right leg. I lost n great deal of blood, and I began to think my chances for life wer growing slim, very slim. After receiving this second wound and being completely done for, as to 'proppers,' I concluded that it was of no use making any further efforts to get out of tlio trouble. However, Just about the time when the last ray of hope was waning, I saw a Confed erate out in front of their lines, nnd I called to him, saying that I was dying from loss of blood and thirst, and ask ing him to bring me a canteen of water. While lie appeared willing to do as requested, lie said if he came out there our men would see him, and, thinking ho was trying to rob me, would concentrate their fire upon him. I begged him to take the chance, and he said ho would. "He crawled through the tangled standing wheat and came to mo, bring ing a canteen of water—about the best I ever tasted—which I drank. After drinking and having some poured on my wounds, I said to the Confederate, 'Won't you carry me into the shade within your lines?' At first he said that he could not—that if lie attempted that we would both bo shot. I then suggested that he iet me get on his back and that lie crawl out with me as lie had crawled in. After some ar gument he agreed to this. I managed to get on his hack, lie holding up my wounded legs, and this good fellow crawled off into the field of wheat. Once I fainted nnd fell off his back. Ho left me and went back into the woods to Plum Run, where he refilled liis canteen and came hack to me, dashed water in my face and restored me to consciousness. "Again getting me on his back, he crawled away and we managed to reach the strip of woods In which the Twenty-fourth Georgia was posted. When safely there, he put tne 011 a rub ber blanket under a tree, gave me a canteen of water and some bread such as the Confederates had—and wrote my name and regiment In his book. I handed him my hunting case silver watch, and with a few words of good wishes we parted. That evening the Pennsylvania reserves took posses sion of the ground occupied by the Georgia regiment, and I fell into the hands of my own people. "It was not until the year 1674 that I succeeded in locating my frjend who had saved my life. Through Georgia (senators I ascertained that he was living In Gainesville. Ho has since moved to Athens, and I have kept up c pretty regular correspondence with him ever since. Of course, I love him for his brave and generous act"—New York Tribune. Washed Overboard. Captain John Ilodson, n night Inspec tor in the Honolulu customs force, has apparently led a charmed life. When a boy of sixteen years he left bis homo in Norway, throwing away his chances of following in bis father's footsteps as an officer in the Norwegian Army for a life on the sea. Since that time he lias sailed all over the watery globe, and only a few years ago quit the sea after having been in many disas ters. lie was wrecked in the South Sea Islands, and only by a miracle es caped with his life, but the most re markable experience he had was while captain of a schooner trading between the sound and California ports. On one occasion he took a cargo of lumber from the sound to San Pedro. Before leaving the sound the ship's carpenter made some repairs to the hull of the vessel, and during his work tlie chips from a piece of lumber he was hewing fell Into the hull of the vessel between the lumber and Its sides. Shortly after leaving port the vessel encountered a heavy gale, and the ship commenced to leak. The schooner's pumps were started, but the chips which the carpenter had dropped Into her hold clogged them up. The captain put his vessel right before the wind and ordered his men to take out the pump aud clear out the chips. While this was being done he stood with the man at the wheel to see that the schooner was kept right ahead of the wind. Waves of enormous height were chusing the schooner, and one of these washed over the vessel from stern to bow, throwlug the man at the wheel flat 011 ins face and tossing the captain overboard. As Captain Hodson was swept ovei the side into the foaming water the ropes holding a boom broke and 11 dropped to the deck with one end hanging out over the side of the schooner. A broken rope dangling from this lilt the captain on the head, and with the wild energy of a drown ing man he caught hold of it. The vessel gave a tremendous lurch and her bulwarks were again under the water, while the speed of the vessel dragged the man in the water who was holding on to the rope along and finally tossed him on deck again. He was at the wheel as soon as the schooner righted, and nearly frightened the life out of the sailor standing there. This man thought he had seen a gliost and promptly ran from the wheel. Captain Hodson seized it, put the vessel ahead of the wind again, and later weathered the storm. "It's the only time I have ever known of a man to have been washed over board and then washed back again," says the captain, who now declares that he has left the sea for good and is content to live on laud.—Honolulu Commercial Advertiser. A Dangerous Descent. Reckless daring is so often displayed by workmen whose daily labors place them in positions of danger that those who have to deal with them are aston ished at no feat of bravado. Mr. Frank Skinner gives McClurc's Magazine aa instance of this daring on the part of men who were engaged in replacing the Niagara suspension bridge. It happened that so many valuable tools were dropped from the bridge that some of the more careless losers were discharged. Consequently, when one day a man dropped a wrench 200 feet to the water's edge, he foolishly started to recover it by descending hand over hand on a steeply inclined, thin wire cable nearly 500 feet long. He had no sooner started on his in sane exploit than a rival, out of sheer bravado, essayed to descend on an ad jacent rope. After going a few feet they both realized the almost impossi ble nature of the journey they had un dertaken, and tried to return. It could not ho done, and the only chance of safety lay in continuing their descent. It seemed to their horrified com panions that human muscles could not endure the increasing strain of that long passage downward. The foreman shouted instructions, interspersed with violent abuse, the object of which was to divert them from the fright that added to their danger. By what seemed almost a miracle both men held on until they had crossed the water. Then one of tlieni dropped safely into a tree-top. The other finally gave out, and fell a con siderable distance to the ground. Both, however, escaped practically unhurt. "A Montana 15luff." What is regarded as one of the tall est "bluffs" on record furnished Cap tain Edgar Russel, chief signal officer in the Philippines during the insurrec tion, with a story, which lie tells us an example of Western nerve. "We were outside of Manila in some little scrap," said the Captain, "and about seventy-five natives were lying in a trench ahead of us, shooting away merrily, but not hitting anybody. By and by I noticed a little disturbanco iu our front. Presently four Montana troopers trotted out of our lines and started straight for the Filipinos. Ev erybody looked at them with wonder, and waited to see them all killed. Bui lets whistled all around them, but they never halted. Slowly, just at a trot, they jogged on toward the enemy. The natives fired and fired, hut for some unknown reason did not hit. On and on went the quartet, disdaining cover. At last there was a shout, nnd, to our utter astonishment, we beheld the seventy-five Filipinos suddenly jump out of their trenches and .tqko to their lieeis in mad flight. The nerve of the Montana troopers was too much for them. When they had all fled, throwing their rifles away as they ran, tlio troopers came back, their arms full of guns. That is what the Army lias come to call 'a Montana bluff.' It's the sort of nervo that lebs a man open a jackpot on a pair of deuces." Herolo Engine Man, As the day shift was descending tlio F-odringallt colliery, Ystrad, Ithondda, a lire broke out in the engine house, which was completely gutted. One oC the wire rods attached to the cage snapped, and the cage descended the shaft, injuring a man named Thomas. The disablement of the shaft prevented his immediate removal, and workmen had to enter the pit of the Femdale and walk with an ambulance for two miles underground to reach Thomas. When the outbreak occurred Engine man Evan Lloyd wus in the act of lowering eleven men. Although sur-. rounded by flames, lie stuck gamely to his level. Rls face was badly scorched, but his heroism averted a great fa tality. Five hundred men were drawn from the pit byway of Femdale. The tire has temporarily thrown out SOU men.—London News. Boy's Freactice of Mind. While a party of children were fish ing from a boat off Parengo, says a Trieste telegram to the Westminster Gazette, two huge sharks approached the boat. One of the pair made a fierce nttaek on tlio rope by which the boat was anchored, and seizing it in its mouth, pulled the liont to and fro, evi dently trying to upset it, while the other swam round and round the boat and its terrified occupants. One hoy, more brave than the rest, had the pres ence of mind to cut the rope, nnd seiz ing the oars, rowed for dear life to the shore, the sharks following until the water became to shallow for them, when they turned back and swam to and fro some distance off. A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. The troublo between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves caused by 6ome derangement of the uterine system with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she can not do better than to take LyiHa E. Plnkliam's Vegetable Compound. This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet, will themselves become quiet. Mrs. May Brown, of Chicago, 111., says: "DEAR MRS.
