ADVISED THE HOME F .IST Pleaaing Story That la Related by Intimate Acquaintance of Late Jamea J. Hill. The Chicago bunker who had Intimate personal association with Junies J. HUI reluted a little Incident which throws light on the character of that grout railroad uian and builder of civilization, aays the Knickerbocker Press. Mr. Hill hud coiuuduNioned the banker to perform u task which required a journey out of town. Here la the story: > “‘How soon do you, want this, Mr. Hill?’ said I. ‘“Hight uway,’ said he. "I suppose he noticed a fleeting expression in my face, for he usked: ’What’s the matter?’ “ ‘Well,’ said I, ’my family is across tlie lake, but that doesn't make any difference. I’ll start In the morning, and —’ “Mr. Hill held up his right hand and said: ‘Hold on. Let me give you a fact born of my long experience. All the real fun a fellow has In life is within the four walls that Inclose his family. Go across the lake and see your family, and start on my job when you get through with the homefolks.’ ” Here is something for the ambitious young man who nus not yet got his bearings to paste in his hat. Few men have achieved so much as James J. Hill. Few have struggled against heavier odds or won success in so great measure. But iiome remained the chief thing In his life. That is n realization thut comes to most men nt some time or other. They are lucky who grasp it eurly. LEATHER SHOULD BE “FED” Librarian of Congress Tells How th* Bindings of Books May Be Preserved. An official of the Library of Congress was talking with a friend who had recently purchased u handsome ■set of leather-bound volumes. “You had,’’ suld the expert, “better examine those books carefully to see whether the leather needs feeding. If it is new stock they will be all right if left alone for several years, but if they have been on the shelves for some time, the leather will have lost most of its natural oil and becinm brittle. This applies especially to books kept in private houses, wlu.li are, a< a rule, much better than th.' hook-stacks in large libraries. Then Is nothing more attractive than a fresh, well-preserved leather binding on u volume, and scarcely anything less so than a dilapidated, cracked one. “You can add years to the life of a leather binding and 100 per cent to its appearance by rubbing a little vaseline with a piece of raw cotton—.not too much —Just as much as the leather will thoroughly absorb. Where the binding bends is where it Is most likely to crack. The leather will not be greasy, as the vaseline will be absorbed. One treatment every year or two is sufficient, unless the booffs ore unduly exposed to heat.” ' " * ' 1 ■ — ' —I. ■ . t Out-of-Door Sleeping. Again the iconoclast is out with his ax and another and very popular medical idol has been smashed —namely, sleeping out of doors, the Homeopathic Envoy states. It was great while it lasted, but apparently it is now on the way to the scrap pile of medical science, where sooner or later all that brand of science is east. Sleeping out of doors is all right for those who live out of doors, like travelers in remote regions, soldiers in active service and the like, but it has been at last realized that for those who live in houses the going out of a warm house to tile often bleak, or dump, air of the outside is not always beneficial; in fact, is very often hurtful. The same is true of sleeping with wide-open windows, which is all right in certain states of the atmosphere, but ns an Invariable rule It is an error. In nothing is common sense more needed than in medicine and “health culture”; nowhere else is it oftener lacking.

About Adenoids. We hear much about adenoids. Tins is the name of a lymph, glandular mass back of the nose in the upper part of the. throat. It is a small but normal body structure. When enlarged or the seat of disease in children or adults adenoids mual be removed. The signs of enlargement are: Mouth-breathing, night restlessness, snoring during sleep, and In marked cases a narrowed or sunken lower part of the chest, owing to obstructed breathing, and interference with general health and normal growth. Also, there may be a narrowing of the dental arch In the upper jaw, leading to a deformity of the mouth. —Dr. Maude Kent. Elephant Labyrinth. Near Ayuthia, formerly the capital of Siam, is a curious labyrinth in which elephants are captured alive. The labyrinth is formed by a double row of immense tree trunks set firmly in the ground, the space between them gradually narrowing. Where it begins at the edge of the forest, the opening of the Labyrinth is more than a mile broad, hut as it approaches Ayuthia it becomes so narrow that the elephants cannot turn around. Tame elephants are employed to lure wild ones into the trap. Having reached the inner end of the labyrinth, the tatne elephants are allowed to pass through a gate, white tnen lying In wait slip shackles over the feet of the captives.
