times every ten years It is a ipretty lake like most of the sheets of Avater in that picturesque country and Its peculiar freak is attributed to a dis position to celebrate the slaughter of the Burgundians under Charles tla Bold on June 21 147G but the French say that it blushes for the conduct of the Swiss who in that battle gave the Burgundians no quarter This phenomenon of course has its legend The old fishermen of the lake who catch enormous fish called silures that weigh between twenty five and forty kilograms say when they see the waters of the lake reddening that it is the blood of the Burgundians As a matter of fact some of the bodies of the Burgundians killed in the battle were thrown into the lake while others were tossed into a grave filled with quicklime This historical recollection angered the Burgundian soldiers of the victorious armies of the republic in 179S so much that they destroyed the monument raised in honor of their compatriots who fell heroically in that battle and Henri Martin very justly reproachod them for that piece of van dalism It would hardly do to attribute the reddening of the waters of the lake to the blood of the soldiers of Charles the Bold The coloring is due simply to the presence in large quantities of little aquatic plants called by naturalists Os cillatoria rubescens The curious thing about it is that Lake Morat is the only lake in which this curious growth ia -developed Ilicconprh at Dinner Many persons are debarred from din ing out owing to their liability to con tract hiccough during a meal As a Tule when caused by

WATER How to Ue These HeniedicH to the IicHt Advantage Hot cold water is excellent as an application for inflammation conges tions or abrasions but how many peo ple know which to apply in particular cases while awaiting the arrival of medical relief Not many and the mis takes made in some instances are lu dicrous Take the barber for example who has cut his patrons face ne generally washes the face with a towel soaked in warm water often pressing it right into the injury and then wonders why the blood flows from the cut so freely In ninety nine cases out of a hundred If ihe had used cold water and the colder the better the blood would have ceased to flow from the injury al together as the cold would have a ten dency to contract the openings in the torn blood vessels In all cases of such cuts or abrasions very cold water will at least reduce the amount of bleeding if it doesnt stop it altogether and yet singularly enough boiling water will have the same effect Water below the boiling point in creases the flow but above that de gree decreases it In surface inflamma tions or congestions cold water ought to be used Avhile if the condition is sit uated below the surface hot water is necessary as an application because it draws the blood toward the surface and thus stimulates the circulation through the part where it is most needed In cases of abscesses or pimples with pus forming in them but whicli have not yet come to a head the secre tion of pus can be rapidly increased and the duration of the annoyance thereby decreased by applying hot wa ter to them at frequent intervals Where the eye is inflamed or smarts after a period of eye strain such as night work often induces hot appli cations are the things for relief but the water used should be gradually allowed to cool off toward the end Tired eyes will invariably be rejuve nated by adopting this method of treat ment and many headaches resulting from such a condition may thereby be prevented or cured St Louis Globe Democrat BLEAK SHETLAND Its SwarniH of Sea Galls and Its Lone Tree Up a little lane off Lerwicks one street there is a garden At least it is an inclosed space In the middle of this space there is a tree It is not a veiy tall tree you could in fact toss a biscuit over its branches but still it is a tree the only tree in Shetland And Shetland is proud of it Children who are brought for the first time to see the wonders of one streeted Ler wick are shown this tree This is not fiction It is the only tree in Shetland As there are no trees in Shetland there are no birds except of course the sea gulls which you can number by the thousand The sea gulls are the sparrows of Lerwick and as such they have a greater share in the towns life than have the sparrows of London In the morning time j ou will note that a sea gull sits on every chimney pot Sea gulls swoop and hover over every roof in the town The air is full of their strange high plaintive haunting cries Their sad shrill long drawn cries are to Lerwick as the chattering of sparrows or the cawing of rooks are to us in England Every house has its own familiar sea gulls and every street its own band of sea gulls They never mix The chil dren in each house have a pet name for their own particular sea gulls and having called them to them by those names they feed them every day And each sea gull knows what is meant for him No sea gull attached to one house ever seeks to eat the food scattered from the house next door He does not dare the other gulls would kill him So all day long the sea gulls hover and call over the roofs of Lerwick The people of the town if they come across a little pile of rice laid upon the road way step over it with care They know that it is placed there for some sea gull And at night the sea gulls leave their own appointed chimney pots and fly gracefully away to their resting places on the rocks of the Isle of Noss London Express A Railway Ball The recent intimation of an Irish rail way that there would be no last train to Cork has apparently induced the Great Eastern Railway company to Issue a placard stating that trains to Walthamstow will run all throtfgh the night on week days St
