* Don’t Poison Baby.
B~*^ORTY YEARS AQO almost every mother thought her child must have
PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce
1 sleep, and a FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP
PROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who
have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, lauda
num and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists
are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or
to anybody without labelling them “ poison.” The definition of “narcotic”
is: “A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poison
ous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and
smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names
of “ Drops,” “ Cordials,” “ Soothing Syrups, etc. You should not permit any
medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know
of what it is composed. CASTORIA DOES NOT

Concerning Women on Juries.
“Do women have to sit on juries if
they vote?” Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
president of the National American
Woman Suffrage, association was re
cently ashed.
“Not necessarily.” said Doctor
Shaw; "but I have seen a lot of ju
ries which needed to have someone
sit on them, and I have known wom
en who have had to stand up at most
difficult and disagreeable employments
who would be glad to sit on juries
and receive about double the price
they get by standing. And these men
and women who prey upon the virtue
of girlhood and boyhood would rather
face Satan himself than a jury of
mothers. Yes. we need women on
some Juries."
How to Clean Stone Window Sills.
In the Woman's Home Companion
a Missouri woman told as follows how
to clean stone steps or stone window
sills;
“Get five cents worth of the coars
est sandpaper and rub stone steps or
stone windows sills briskly until all
marks are removed, then simply dust
them with a duster or a rag. They
will stay white much longer by using
this method than scrubbing them with
water. 1 always wear a pair of canvas
gloves, as they protect the hands
from any scratching."
Tame Description.
“I saw your husband at the ball
game yesterday.”
"What was he doing?"
"Why, he seemed to be an interest
ed spectator.”
“That doesn't describe my husband.
He's a cyclone rooter."
If a man desires to engage in a
harmless form of useless endeavor,
he might as well breed pouter
pigeons.

SEALS ACT MUCH

HAT airships, gliding
planes, and aeroplanes
have been suggested to
man by the flight of
birds is well understood
by us. That the dead

present maritime war
uas been suggested to us by any form
of natural animal life is not so patent.
Doubtless it has often been in the
minds of fishermen and whalers when
tempest tossed and severely driven.
Certainly it yould be a happy ship for
them that could be so constructed
which would safely dive with all on
board to the quiet depths below, there
m rest content and easy until the
clouds ro'.ied by’* above.
We have come to regard the soaring
albatross or the condor as the proto
type of the aeroplane. When we look
for a natural model for the submarine

a submarine has a great advantage
over the human boat—it has eyes that
can look ahead and around under wa
ter—how far, we do not know, but it
is reasonable to assume that the seal’s
eyes can see as far under water as
the eye of a camera can, and which
we have the evidence of in good rec
ords.
Then, too, it also has an acute
sense of hearing under sea, for we
know that the whirring of a propeller's
screw will drive all the seals away for
miles around a steamer. We know
that because some of
merged.
Unlike, however, the
"Unterseebot,” the
'ur seal is not fitted
for swimming on the
surface; it only rises
there to survey, to
breathe, and to sleep;
.t never attempts to
swim with head above
water on any course,
no matter how short.
It rises, when undis
turbed or not alarmed,
looks about with head
and neck well
stretched up above
the surface of the sea,
the early pelagic j
sealing vessels were
fitted with small
auxiliary screws, and
these, when put into
use, had to be re
moved.
Then, on the other
hand, we find that
our submarine boat
has one great advan
tage over its sealing
prototype—it can re
main for many
hours, yes, days—
under sea. The seal
cannot stay there
more than four or
five minutes, as far
fills its lungs with air (literally com
pressed), turns its head down, and,
with its powerful flippers, drives it be
low the surface to the depth of five or
J :en feet, then ahead on that level; thus
submerged, the body of the seal
glides through the water as swift
ly as a swallow in the air—it is a van
ishing streak to our eyes.
How long it remains thus submerged
when traveling, no one has any defi
nite knowledge, but the best consensus
of opinion gives it a rise a intervals of
every three or four minutes to breathe
that is, a pause of less than two or
three seconds with barely more than
its nose and eyes aoove the surface,
for exhalation and renewed inhalation
—when down goes the trim body to
speed ahead again.
W hen our submarines were first
brought out a trip of more than 3UU
miles from base was the utmost limit
of their cruising. Today, they have
been so perfected by the Germans that
we know they can cruise safely more
than 3,000 miles from that base. There
fcre, in this connection it is interest
ing to know that the fur seal mukes a
submarine journey in the North Pa
cific ocean of more than 5,000 miles
from its base on the Pribiloff islands
in Bering 'ea, and then returns.
An animal which can not only make
such an extended journey, but can
steer its course, over an uncharted
waste from point to point, month by
month, with posit!ve regularity and in
perfect time, must be a fine type of
swimming machine—it is.
There is to be observed a close re
semblance between the cigar-shaped
submarine boa. and tbe body form cf
the fur seal. As we view them lat
erally, this resemb.ance is complete;
they are both driven ahead by feather
ing screws, and they are both kept on
the level of their submerged course at
a given distance below the surface by
rudders.
Then we observe that the periscope,
to which the submarine craft owes all
its efficiency, is duplicated exactly by
the seal’s nose and eyes, and which
are all that it ever lifts above the sur
face when startled, and in flight or
passage.
Again we note that the fur seal as
HAVE SAVED MOUNT VERNON
'otomac Was Threatening to Cut
Away the Whole Bluff—Good En
gineering Work.
The high Dluff on which stands
Mount Vernon, the home of our tirst
president, has for years been in dan
ger of gradually sliding into the Po
tomac.
This danger became acute a few
years ago when it was discovered that
a new landslide was beginning that
threatened to destroy the broad lawn
in front of the mansion, if not the
foundations of t’.e mansion itself, and
engineering work, recently completed,
was begun at that time to save the
historic site from further damage.
The ground slopes from the mansion
to the edge of the bluff, and from this
point drops steeply for a hundred
feet or more to the edge of the Poto
mac. The river at this point is a wide
tidal estuary and the action of the
waves has caused a steady erosion
at the foot of the bluff.
Underlying the bluff are strata of
sand, elav and soft sandstone, which,
m investigation, were found to be
saturated with water, and this, com
bined with the erosion of the waves,
has resulted in landslides that have
doubtless been going on intermittent
ly for ages.
To cure the trouble a small drainage
tunnel was first driven in the bottom
>f the sandstone stratum and carried
back from the river front u distance
of about 20C feet.
From this tunnel a heavy Bow of
water immediately started, and this
How continued for several months.
At the end of that time the flow di
minished to a moderate amount, and
has remained practically constant ever
since.
To prevent further erosion at the
foot of the bluff through the action
of the waves a heavy masonry wall
was then built along the edge of the
river. It is hoped that danger of
future slides has been eliminated.—

Desert Lighthouse.
Prairie schooners, as the long can
vas-covered wagons which cross the
deserts of Arizona are called, are guid
ed by the only desert lighthouse in the
world. The lighthouse marks the po
sition of a well, the only place where
water can be found for 23 miles to the
eastward, and 30 miles in any other
direction.
Many a wayfarer in this vast, water
less region has died vf thirst prac
tically within sight of the welt, the
whereabouts of which he was ignorant.
It was a tragedy of this sort which
led to the erection of the beacon. A
boy, perishing of thirst, had fallen in
the last stages of exhaustion. When
night came, he noticed the light from
the well keeper's cabin burning dimly
in the distance. With a last heroic
effort, the boy reached the cabin. This
gave the well keeper an idea, and now
every night a light flashes out from
the only desert lighthouse in the
world.—American Boy.
The W-jy It Coes.
The girls demand that the men they
wed shall be tall and distinguished
looking, with curling locks and gold
galore, and have perfect dispositions
and soulful eyes, dance divinely, be
masterful, yet tender, and otherwise
more or less resemble Greek gods and
he-angels. And then they marry us
poor, skinny, blunder ng, shambling,
misshapen, awkward runts, with our
sins and foolishness heavy upon us. and
look as fondly triumphant, bless ’em,
as if they had each won a capital prize!
—Kansas City Star.
as we have any proof of.
That it can remain that long has
been well known to us by the evidence
curiously given to us by the seals
themselves. They have a habit of
turning themselves head down in the
sea. with their hind flippers lifted up
entirely out of the water, completely
reversing their normal attitude wThen 1
rising to breathe and survey. This
habit is to enable them better to
scratch their sides and loins with the
fore flippers than they can when not
thus inverted, becadse the hair and fur
open better in this queer position un
der water when rubbed by their flip
pers. A great maSy stop-watch rec
ords have been made of the time un
der water which a senl would keep its
head when thus scratching, and the
limit of four to five minutes was fre
quently m ,de- -never longer.
With reference to the powers of de
struction, of course our fur seal boat
has no torpedo tubes, but It can and
does “shoot its mouth off” at fish with
a deadly certainty.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that seals do not catch fish by
pursuit of them—not at all; they shoot
down, from above, upon the backs, or
up from below, to strike at the bel
lies of their finny prey.
How fast these rhocine submarines
can speed up under ‘.he stimulus of ex
citement or fear no one knows. But
it is well known when a vessel is com
ing down before a gale of wind from
the islands, logging 14 to 16 knots,
that a bevy of fur seals will often fol
low the ship for hours, end repeatedly
swim by it, swim around it, and then re
new the chase and circling of it.—

Extinct Ground Sloth.
The remains, of an extinct ground
sloth found in Patagonia and brought
to this country by Mr. Roosevelt is
now In the American Museum of Natu
ral Bistory in New York. These re

because the surroundings in which
they Wpre found seem to prove that
the animal was living only a few cen
turies ago. and was not only contem
porary with primitive man, but was
to some evtent domesticated by him.
Previous to this discovery It had been
believed that all the great ground
sloths of South America, of which
many fossil remains have been found,
became extinct thousands of years
ago. The lcmains recently found were
discovered in a dry cave, in company
with tools or weapons or stone and
bone, together with bundles of grass
spread as though intended for fodder.
There were other indications that the
animaln had been stabled or Impris

IVORY ABSORBING MOISTURE
The average person does not asso
ciate ivory as an absorber of water,
but this quality of the product was
brought out in a customs case, says
an exchange. The American Express
company entered ivory, which it
claimed had absorbed moisture on the
voyage from Africa. Collector Ma
lone's men weighed the product and
found that it exceeded the invoiced
weight by a fair margin. The col*
lector accordingly took duty on the
weight found after the ivory had been
unloaded from the vessel. When the
Ivory was later weighed at the factory
of the ultimate importer the weights
were lower than those returned by the
government officials and approximated
the weights contained on the invoice.
When the question came before the
board of general appraisers. Judge
Waite did not attempt to decide
whether ivory is an absorbent of
moisture, but held that the importer
had failed to prove his case. So the
question remains an open one.

searchlight is usually carried on cne

For years we have been stating in the newspapers of the
