Rheumatism and Neuritis Yield » Treatment in Which Purple Rays Play Big Part. The usefulness of “sun baths” foi heulih lias lung been recognized. Unlimited sunshine has much to do with the beneficial effect of it vacation at

the sen.-hore.

Nowadays tills matter Is better understood than It used to be, and It Is known that the heat rays of the sun have nothing to do with the physical benefit obtained from such exposure. It Is the chemical rays In the sunbeam—particularly the ultra-violet rays—that do the good work. Electric light is rich in these rays, and many cures of rheumatism and neuritis have been accomplished by exposing the affected part of the body to a powerful Incandescent lamp, Its rays concentrated by a hemispherical reflector. For curative purposes physicians have turned to useful account a sort of cabinet lined with such lamps, into which the patient, lying on a padded board, could be slid. The newest method employs 8 quartz lamp containing mercury va pur, through which the electric current is passed. Quartz has the advan tage of being extraordinarily transparent to ultra-violet rays. Such a lamp, made In the shape of a tube of small diameter, can be introduced Into the nasal passages for the treatment of catarrh or into the throat for the cure of infected tonsils thus saving Ihe patient an operation —Philadelphia Ledger.

DON’T FAVOR WEDDING RINGS

Men

Dislike Them, but Most Women Insist on the Gold Symbols of Matrimony.

Thomas Stukely Peer of Any of the Adventurers Who Flourished Under Good Queen Bess. A career so lurid and Impregnated with a dime novel atmosphere has scarcely ever been seen outside the covers of the penny dreadfuls as fell to the lot of Thomas Stukely as It ran the gamut from matrimony to piracy, Interspersed with dashing, gallant and fearless bravery which has caused his name to be remembered when many a better man has sunk to oblivion. Stukely was an adventurer by nature. His mother was Irish and of a very good family, and It Is said that he could claim as his father Henry VIII of England. Stukely acquired a great fortune by marrying a lady of wealth and proceeded immediately to spend it with the greatest dispatch. Sir Walter Scott says that gallant ruffled It with Raleigh and the best of them at the court of Queen Elizabeth. His flrst chimerical scheme was to found a kingdom for himself in Florida. Then he went to Ireland and gained considerable influence over Shane O'Neill, the most powerful of the native chieftains, helping him to gain a decisive battle. Stukely never gave up his career us a merchant and still retained ships which, under the guise of i»eaeeful traders, committed Infamous piracies. On being discovered he went to Spain as a grandee and thence to Rome. At the great naval battle of Lepanto he commanded one of the papal ships.—Chicago

“When I marry, I won’t Insist on my husband wearing a wedding ring, as people might think he was henpecked," said a pretty miss to a friend recently. According to a Jeweler, 80 out of 100 liriib”- do insist, however says the Milwaukee Journal. “During the month of May most the newly engaged drop in for their rings. Occasionally the young man, after selecting a ring for the girl, tells the clerk that he doesn't want any for himself. "The girl will look at him quickly and say: ‘Oh, yes, you do, John dear,' and he buys one. In the majority of cases a plain gold band is selected, ! >qt lately a few carved and engraved rings have been sold." This, of course, does not prove that men wear the rings. A certain young man, on leaving the house in the morning. places his ring In his vest pocket. When leaving the car, on returning home, It Is again slipped on his linger. In this way both wife and hubby are perfectly satisfied.

WAVES OF GIGANTIC HEIGHT Thousands of Tons of Water Not Infrequently Poured Upon Decks of Ocean Vessels. Even In stormy weather the average height of waves in mld-eeean does not as a rule exceed 30 or -hi feet. Sometimes, however, one enormous wave makes Its appearance amidst the rest. Why tills should happen no one can say. All we know is that a mighty mass of water rushes suddenly toward a ship ut the appalling speed of ovei 100 miles an hour. If the ship can meet such a wave with her bows she will ride over it. though thousands of tons of water may sweep over her decks. But 11 the wave is following her and rushes at her from the steru, she may fail to rise. Many a good ship has gone to her doom in this way. These vast mountains of water rise sometimes to u height of more than a hundred feet—as high as the spire of a church. They have been known to extinguish the mast-head lights of sailing ships. Sometimes on a perfectly calm day khere will he a sudden troubling of the surface of the sea, anil without the slightest warning a wave 150 feet high will appear.

Every House Numbered in India. Numbering bouses lt> an important preliminary to census-taking in India. Nearly 12 months in advance of the census date all the villages In the empire are scheduled, and every house Is numbered. In some provinces the census authorities determine in advance the size of the number and specify the proportion of red ochre and oil, or other Ingredients, forming the substance with which the number

Is to be painted.

In other districts the natives consider red ochre unlucky, and if it Is useil they erase the figures. In the case of huts made of leaves, and also when objection is made on account of caste restrictions to the numbering of houses by enumerators, the numbers are painted on bits of tin, tiles, or pots, and are usually treated with great

respect by the natives,

Plant Societies. It appears that the knowledge of botany has been greatly advanced by the development of what may be called the sociology of plants, that is, the study of their relations to one annther, as well us their adjustments to surroundings. Botanists recognize that plants are not scattered haphazard over the globe, but are organized into definite communities. A pond has its plant society, all the members of which fall Into their proper places. A swamp-forest consists of trees possessing a certain social relationship, and differing from those that form a forest on dry land. There Is progression from one social organization of plants to another. A lily-pond g.ny give place to a swamp-maor, this to a oclety of swamp shrubs, and this, again, to a swamp-forest of tamarack, pine and hemlock. Ho societies of plants on dry lands jucceed one another as the conditions change.

“Burying the Hatchet,"

The origin of the synonym for forgetting old quarrels, “Let's bury the hatchet,” is traced to an ancient custom of the North America* Indians. After indulging in the mo# ruthless warfare, tribes would assemble at what they believed to be the “cull of peuee.” This, it was supposed, was uttered by the Great Spirit, and in the course of a great council and I amidst singular ceremonies, they would smoke the calumet, or pipe of

The Indians’ “Pipe of Peace.” The calumet, the “pipe of peace" of the American Indians, was used on nil ceremonial occasions, but especially when treaties of peace were Ik'ing ratified. Each warrior took a solemn puff from the pipe as It was passed around the circle. Native tobacco, with which willow bark or. sumac leaves were mixed, was smoked. The bowl of the pipe was made of white stone In the East and Southeast. In the West It was made of a red day obtained from the famous pipestone quarry at Minnesota, mentioned in Longfellow’.) "Hiawatha." The pipe had a very long stem, made sometimes of wood, sometimes of reed. Feathers, porcupine quills and women's hair were used as decorations on the stem. The name "calumet” originated With the French Canadians.
