A 3t OOD RED LAKE
Peculiarity Manifested by a Sheet of
Water Iu Switzerland
Lake Morat in Switzerland has a
queer habit of turning red about two
or three 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 food it comes on
at once and equally as a rule the food
causing it Is hot Soups are more like
ly to provoke hiccough than solids are
It is a good plan to forego soup which
can be done without causing remark
says Home Notes Or one may eat a
little bread before taking it A third
plan is to drink a little cold water and
3o take the soup in very small sips

HOT AND COLD 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

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
