tho poor pilgrims who by this tlmo were In n

Tho unit thins thoy did, on Doing gobbled

of them, feeling horo nnd there with his staff
to know whether tho country around ww

Jbegan to prod viciously tnu tho bad tooth.

A Wisconsin Hoy's Toboggan.

Wisconsin boy who
lias one, nnd who
.-claims that it can
be used on almost

how to mako tnls

Tako n wldo
chcoso box apart
and bond it out
flat, being careful
not to split it. (It
would be well to
oak It in water for
a day before at
tempting this.) Get
a board tho width

and lay it on tho

taking tho box apart, so that ono end will
curl over to form tho front, and screw thorn
togother at tho liottom.
Now tako a strip of wood and lash It on
tho front of tho toboggan, nnd then to tho
board to keep it in pla. You c.nn now put
on side rails or n koat, as you llko. A sent
can bo mado by nailing on thrco cleats.

How to Train a Canary lllrtl.
Did you over try to tamo n canary bird
and teach it slmplo tricks, such ns lurching

Placothocngo on a tablo near you; nftcr

Once this step is attained, vary tho nro-
gramino by introducing the finger in other

Dr. Fred. 0. Valentino has Just published
a small, ollvo green volunio entitled "(XX)

thnt xor Hsplivwho wish to bo well nnd

and imitrldKiM.
This Is really the first thno that a Now
York physician has had tho moral courage to
came out nnd show ooplo how to keep well
nnd nvold doctors' bills. There can bo no
doubt that jieoplo In the lower wnlks of llfo
nro too nrono to load tliemschcs tlown with

Nontolltnu Ico cream, nro nil they mod,
I'oor jiooplo often wonder why tholr
doctors' bills are so great while tho
wealthy nro rarely
ill. This Is duo to
tho fact that ioor
ponplo nro too
prouo to eat salt
pork nnd bread on
nn empty stomach
nnd then neglect
exercise. A work

There aro many other suggestions in this
llttlo liook worthy of a plnco In overy house

"Don't endeavor to remove sulMtauces from

who will put kernels of com, unanswered lot

himself, ns ho might tear a holo In the roof
of his mouth. Don't Imtho immediately after

own.
Don't sleep during tho summer months
with your foot out at tho window. It closes
tho jioros or tho
feet too suddenly,
especially if tho

Don't sleep in an
clovnted railway

It Is u lad prnetlco to lean ou tho shoulder of
n lady who Is not acquainted with you while
you sleep olT your drunk, for sho might have
to lonvo tho car suddenly when sho gets to
her station and thus thoughtlessly porhaps
break your neck.
(Somo of tho uliovo Dont's nro suggested to
my mind us I go along.)
Don't try to blow tho brooch pin out of nn
old gun unless you havo n very strong breath
and more brains than you require for ordi
nary business purosoa.
Don't try to wrench loose tho tall of an in
furlated lion liocauso you see it hanging out
of his cage. They nro putting tho tails on

bo tins tho right to wear it outsldo his cngo
also, if it is more liecomlng that way. -
Dr. Valentino says: "Don't allow a meal
to pass without a joke between oach mouth
ful." . This will enhance tho value of Ameri
can humor to a great degree. Dinner will
tnovo along somothlug like this: Mouthful
of soup "Did you over see a borne fly I Hal

and sllont mastication "How did she got

of mirth, Hakes of laughter and bread crumbs
pervading tho air. Mouthful of roast duck
reminds domestic humorist of something.
"Do you know why a duck goes Into tho

It himself as follows; "For divers reasons."
Moco bread, ico water and general good feel

"I eat fish nnd chicken nnd birds; light

It has less blood In it."
A gentleman who hns been much nbrond is
of tho opinion that the intensity nnd wnnt of

remarks: "I have lieen studying for somo

How to Giro naths.
Sulphur baths nro somotlmra ordered for
persons suffering from rhoumntlsm. Good
Housekeeping tells Just how to give theso nnd
other bnths. A quarter of a pound of sul
phurated jKitash Is added to about twenty
gallons (or bIx pnlls) of hot -rater enough to
completely lmmerso tho body. Tho tempora
turoof tho wnter should not lsj allowed to
falllielow t3 dogs. Tho jintlont should bo
wrnpjwd in a sheet nnd plncod In tho bath,
remaining thcro for somo tlmo. Tho bond
must bo kept cool with cloths dipped In ico
wnter. A wnriu blanket must lio rendy to
recolvo tho lmther whon tho bath Is finished.
Sponging with salt water is often recom
mended ns a tonlo for dolicnte iiersons. A
pound of conrso salt is dissolved iu four gnl
Ions of wnter, nnd tho body well sponged
with tho solution. After drying, brisk fric
tion should bo nppliod ovor tho wholo sur
face. A vapor bath can bo given bysoatlngtho
person iu n enno bottom chair, pinning a
blankot nround tho nock nnd letting It fall to
tho ground on nil sides. Under tho blankot
plnco a largo iwm, two-thirds full of Ijolllng
water; into this plungo hot bricks, ono nt a
tlmo (two or three will bo enough). In a
snort tlmo tlio jintlont will Ik) in tt iiersplrn
tioiu Dry with wnnn towels nnd put him to
bed. This is cffoctunl treatment for a bad
cold, if tho sufferer can bo kept warm tho
next day.
Milk In tlio Hick Itnnm.
Milk is thosovorelgn food upon which phy
sicians depend to nourish tholr iwtlcnts
through terlous illnoss. Go into tho room of
tho n crago iwtlont, says Journnl of Health,
nnd you will find somowhoro In it on a
chair nt tho bend of the lied, on tho "window
sill," or a convenient tablo milk which has
been standing In its glass for n longer or
shorter time, jiosslbly for somo hours. To
lenvo milk in tlio sick room Is ono of tho
worst habits a nurso can hnvo, nnd only tho
most slovenly nro ever guilty of it. When
your patient wants milk, go to tho ico chest,
or Miitnblo plnco, where it is kept, nnd jiour
out into n gloss, mndo as clean ns possible, tho
quantity which you think is needed no
more. Let him tako wlint ho wants, and
then nt onco throw what remains away, and
wash out tho glass. Nover leavo it in tho
sick room a minute, Tho somo rulo holds
good witli nil invalid's foods.
Whooping CniiRti.
Dr. Witthnucr recommends for whooping
cough a small pouch nttuched to a string to
bo worn nround the nock next to tho skin, so
thnt tho lower iwrt will rest upon tho breast
bono. Tho pouch, which is open nt tho top,
is to contain a ploco of absorbent cotton, on
which ten drops of ouenlyptus oil nro to lw
plncod overy morning. Tho Idea Is to sur
round tho imtiont with nn atmosphere of
eucalyptus.

It is, of courso, very pleasant nnd polite,
If ono has n ehanco, to say ton hostess; "I

it Is not necessary nor is it fashloiuibly requi
