Whoopint Cough Ont of Children’* Great Illa Whooping cough It one of the oldest known of child disease*, yet there are no certain treatments or preventives known. And many parents have the wrong Idea about whooping cough. They regard It as a child disease that every child must have, mid take little trouble to guard their children against exposure, regardless of age. But that lx whnt makes the death rate from whooping cough greater than that from senrlet fever, measles and Infantile pnrnlysla combined It has been estimated that whooping cough Is twenty times ns fatal for children under five years nf age as for those beyond tliat age. Thus approximately 1)5 per cent of the deaths from thia disease or<-nr In the pre-school nge group. In time of epidemics nr even In Isolated cases, the American Public Health association advises parents to keep children, particularly those of proschool age. nwny from nil unnecessary neighborhood contacts. If the older children get the disease Isolate them until several days after the whooping ceases.—Pathfinder Magazine. Let Opportunity Pass for Real Estate Profit “It's nstotilslilne." snld the old | settler, "bow reql estate has advanced In this town since I came here. The corner lot this building Is on. for Instance, sold once sot $450.” “Well, what is It worth now?" naked the stranger. “Five thousand.” “Well you hud n chance to gei rich by investing In land yourself 1 sunpose you boiigltl some real es tntot” “Yes. 1 bought one lot—just one.”' “Thnt Ims Increased In value has It not?" “Yes. more than GOO per cent." "That was a good Investment." “Not so awfully good, mister," snld ilie old settler, gloomily. “1 PHld $lO for It. and It’s worth $75 now; but It Is In the cemetery The ; way I figure It. I've lost n heap ! of money by not dying forty years 1 ago." Formed by Dripping Waler Stalnetl es are pendent masses I formed where water containing , mineral solutions drop very slow ly. On exposure to air part of the water evaporates and a deposit of carbona’e of lime ensues, and a« the drop continues tn fall from the same spot a small column nf the material forms downward from the cave. Conditions essential to the formation nf stalactites are a very slow trickle of water, regular evap oration and the absence of disturb ances. such ns currents of nlr Where the water drops upon the floor of the cave, evaporation still goes on and the drop falling from the roof will always land on the same place, so that the pillar of deI posit rises vertically This is known as stalagmite. In course of time the two may meet and In lids way a column is deposited Light of the Future i “No Invention is Jietfecl. and the Incaml'-scent lamp of today is no ! exception l.lchi without heat Is | the Ideal and that Is still fnr off.’ I said Thomas Edison “The electrit • Incandescent lamp ot today Is the cheapest form of lllumlnant that has ever Iteen prodm-ed but some dm ft will he much cheaper and i colder than h m>w Is There Is y got>d deal of truth in rlie saying that the firefly is Ideal It Is. so far as coldness goes But its color Is against it. You couldn't use a t.tino candle firefly to mutch colors I and von wouldn't want the Insect ’ to light tip a street, because td» light would tw- a hideous grr-etdsh yellow But some day we will get reasonably near the firefly for efil clem-y without copying his dis agreeable color.' I Welding Rustproof Steel Rust-proof steel is easily welded hv the m-etylene-oxygen process and Is even more rust-proof lifter webling than before due to loss of carbon silicon and manganese dur ing melting These findings by W Hoffman Berman metallurgist were announced by the national adi visory commitiee for aeronautics In Washington. The physical characteristics of rust-proof-steel welds are better than those of soft ste.el welds but the hardness of the metal due to welding must be removed by heat treatment. The rust-proof steels most used contain large pegr centages of chromium or chromium and nickel Vocabu'ary Intereat Georgie had begun to take a de--1 elded interest in his vocabulary, which was gradually increasing day by day One day recently he hap petted to overhear a conversation between his mother and Iter guest I In which they used the word “step aim her.’’ Georgie’s memory as well ns his ambition for new words was good, but In his nsso- ’ elation of ideas he wns a little con ! fused. “Mother." he said,” after the 1 guest had left, “what Is n stairway mother?” Tears of Women The tears of women: How from the beginning of lime they had washed away every evil thing every kind of deviltry! Down the 1 centuries hud flowed those tears, clearing our race's conscience from poisons, washing clean tl,e mind of mrtn from the torture of rational logic, washing It clean from the torture of memory, re-creuting It. fresh, careless, free, but how could such a wide. dark, wet stain upon those pink roses have eome from so small a skull I—John Cowper Powys iu Wolf Solent.

Took Pledge to Live in Companionate Union The custom of plighting one's troth Is a very ancient one. writes Frank II Vlretelly, editor of ths New St indnrd dictionary. It dntes from Biblical times. Among the Greeks, prenuptial and marriage ceremonies nre snld to date frmn (he time of King ('pernpa. ififi B C. Marriage itrelf Is of divine insrlfuHou, according to the second chapter of Genesis, and confirmed hy • 'hrist In the tenth chapter of the Gospel of Rt. Mark Among the nnclent Danes there was a quaint custom called hand ff>«tlng—the putting of the hand ot the hrlde-tn-he Into the fist of the future bridegroom. It Is referred to hv Ray In his "Glossary of Northumbria.” Traces of It were noted hy Brand n« existing In certain English villages In In bls time, and from his comments It appears to hnve been a pledge to live together for n definite period, in trial or companionate cohabitation. A« late as 171’4 nt ’he annual fair held In Dumfries. Rrntiand it wns customary for unmarried persons of both sexes to select a mate tn their liking with whom they would live until that time next yenr. If. at that Hine, they wore still pleased with each other, they continued to live together for life If not. they separated end wore free to make another choice. Family Nemes Ascribed to Shop Designations One of the ways In which fnmih names rattle Into existence was their use to distinguish ttie shops of tradesmen They were not numbered ns thev nre today, bitt carried signs bear ine various distinguishing devices Figures of birds, flowers, animals and other common objects were lied for this purpose As a consequence the owners of the shorts became known as Tom of the Finch. Will nf the Fox. Harold of the Hart, and other such names. From this practice descended the family nnmes like Finch. Fox. Hnrt. Kwan. Wolf Fish nnd Pine Many of these still survive, but In America shortly after the Revolution. there were a large number which have since disappeared because nf their Instilling or absurd allusions. Cat’s Whiskers There Is an old belief that a cat uses Its whiskers tn determine whether It enn squeeze through a small npenfna nr hnle. According to this notion If the cat’s whiskers touch the sides of rhe hole. It will not venture in. Although this I® not strictly true, say# Pnfhfinde* Magazine, there Is n grain nf Truth In the belief. The large hairs on cither side of a cat's nose are feelers Technically they are known as "vlsbrtesne " Their roots nre provided with delicate nerve endings of touch, thus en nhlfng the animal to find Its way i with ease through a dark, narrow ■ pusasgn.

Goats Among Sheep It hti-s been .. common practice among sheepmen In pnrts of tiie West to keep. goats among the sheep on the assumption Hutt they would be more aggressive in driving off dogs or predatory animate. They are also useful its lenders of sheep. Just Imw successful this practice Is.
