'APPENDICITIS IN CHILDREN.
Most poisons are pretty familiar
by this time with ttppeuditetts, which
ao come ata „a regarded as likely
to afflict almost any ono between
twenty and filly years of age, mud to
have. °seeped which is to be pccu
Barry fortuiato. It is known that it
'begins with severe colic and tender
nese in the right': side of the aide
men, and n sensible person does not
suffer long from an attack of that
sort without calling in the doctor.
This is well, and no doubt the in-
preased general knowledge regarding
appendicitis and the trills -spread fear
of the disease have saved many lives
by loading those attacked to seek
medical advice promptly while the
inflammation is yet in its incipient
stage. But this is true of adults
only, and it seems to bo believed by
ihoso who give a thought to the
subject that children do not -have
appendicitis. This is an error, and
one that may possibly baro moot
serious consequences.
Ohildren, even babies, may have in-
flammation of the vermiform appen-
dix, and may die of it as promptly
as older persons. fortunately, how-
ever, the disease is often less severe
in the very young' than in adults,
and a fatal case of the disease in a
child is comparatively rare. But
although the child may recover front
bis attack, the appendix is left more
vulnerable, and many an apparently
primary attack in adult i;io is really
a recrudescence of a slumbering in-
flammation dating back to child-
hood.
Not every stomach-ache in a child
is appendicitis, but any one may be,
and parents should not be made in.-
different
n-different to these attacks by their
frequency. Neither should the at-
tacks excite too great apprehension.
Tf tbo danger -signals are known, and
en eye kept open for them, parents
can simulate all the indifference they
please, 'especially as regards fre-
quent gttae•.ks coming on about the
school hour.
An ordinary stomach-ache lasts but
a short time; the pain is general all
over the abdomen, or perhaps most
marked on the left side, and the at-
tack often passes off with a slight
diarrhoea, usually without fever.
When the appendix is the seat of the
trouble, the pain may subside for a
time; but it recurs again and again
as a sharp colic, usually most mark-
ed on the right side, and is not re-
lieved by pressure, as the simplest
stomachache often is. There is
fever, the face is flushed or dusky,
and the child shows that it is really
i1]; the tongue is coated, and there
are blade circles under the eyes.
When a child has a stomach-ache
that persists or that comes back
again after having disappeared, es-
pecially if there is fever, it should
be carefully studled.—Youth's Com-
panion.
FOR NELSON'S CENTENARY
GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE CEL,
EBRATION.
A Million Shillings to be Raised
—Souvenirs for the Sub-
scribers.
t
Of all the moues on England's roll
of fame eons stands higher in the
popular estimation than that of
Nelson; and the centenary of his
death which falls to be eoutmemon
" ated next year will undoubtedly
evoke a strong outburst of aduuira•-
- tion for the great naval hero, of
whom Tennyson sang:
Thine Island loves thee well, thou
famous man,
The greatest sailor since the world
begun.
COLD FEET AND INDIGESTION.
Coldness of feet and limbs is al-
most invariable an evidence of indi-
gestion. The coldness is due not to
weakness of the heart or feebiness
of circulation, as is generally sup-
posed, but to the contraction of the
email arteries, preventing blood
from entering the parts. There is
generally an irritation of the abdo-
minal sympathetic nerve centers
which control the circulation of the
lower extremities. This difficulty Is
not to bo removed by exercise or
by any special application to the
aimbs, but by removal of the causes
of irritation. This may be a pro-
lapsed stomach or chronioeindiges-
tion. Hot and cold foot baths are
Valuable. These act, not simply
on the feet and limbs, but by reflex
on the feet and limbs, but by
abdominal sympathetic centers, which
aro in a diseased condition.
Rubbing of tho feet and legs is al-
so an excellent method of over-
coming spasm of the blood vessels,
thus preserving the normal circula-
tion. The rubbing should be from
the feet towards the body. The sur-
face should bo well lubricated with
(vaseline, To avoid irritation of the
skin care should also be taken to
etothe the limbs very warmly. In
many; cases this is necessary, even
in the summer season,
NERVOUS TENSION.
Many people wear themselves out
needlessly; of this there is no possi-
ble doubt, and their conscience is a
species of tyrant to them. An ex-
aggerated sense of duty leads many
a person to very anxious ceaseless
activity, to he constantly doing
something, never to be idle a second
of time, to scorn to rest. Such
people are in unre,scious nerve ten-
sion. They say they have no time
to rest, they have so much to do,
not thinking that they aro rapidly
unfitting themselves for probably
what would have been their best and
greatest work in after years, As
thele are conscious and ueconscious
thong'hts, so there are conscious and
unconscious nerve tensions, Self-
control of nerveforce Is the great
lesson of health, and therefore of life
itself. To understand Trow to relax

of relaxation, and relaxation is also
farad in diversion and amusements.
'Change of air and scene is occasion-
ally necessary. It is sufficient rest
of body and mind which enables a
inert to accomplish his best work by
relieving his nerve torsion.

To mark the occasion the directors
of the British and Foreign Sailors'
Society have resolved to appeal to
the English-speaking public through-
out tho world for assistance in rais-
ing not less than a one million
shilling memorial fund, which Mr.
John Cory, president of the society,
will inaugurate with a gift of five
thousand shillings. Ono notable fea-
ture of the scheme is the distribu-
tion of Victory souvenirs to sub-
scribers.
ONE FLOATING MONUMENT.
Many of the old naval ships have
neet'ssarily been broken up, and
many persons feared U.M.S. Victory,
after her recent aceldent, would fol-
low her unfortunate consorts; but
the King is credited with having
commanded that she should be pre-
served as the one floating monument
of the heroic past. Tho Lords Com-
missioners of the Admiralty gave
to the above society the whole of
the old material taken from H.M.S.
Victory. The society has also se-
cured the whole of the remaining
copper, weighing several tons, left
I from Nelson's flagship, tho Fourlroy-
ant, wrecked in 1887, and will there-
, fore
here-,fore be in a position to present
some million Nelson Victory sou-
s venins to the boys and girls of the
I Empire,
The Royal Albert Hall is secured,
and other suitable centres will be
taken both in India, the colonies, as
well as in the British Isles, for a
I great Nelson celebration, at which
the presentations will be made siun-
ultaneously on October 21, 1903. It
is felt the souvenir, which can be
1 worn if desired, will be the more ap-
I predated if the recipient makes a
little self-denial from the pocket ex-
chequer or collects in the home cir-
cle of relations and friends not less
than 3s. for the Nelson Centenary
trued
Suitable mementoes of the aonten-
ary will also be awarded to all sub-
scribers of smaller amounts above
one skilling.
OBJECTS OF TiTE FUND.
Every town giving £50 and up-
wards through its mayor or pro-
vost will receive a piece of oak front
the Victory, with a suitably inscrib-
ed brass plate, for town hall, mus-
eum, or reading room, and any
public school giving the same
amount will receive a like memento.
The following are some of the ob-
jects for Which the fund is to be
raised : —
Nelson free beds in connection with
Jack's Palace.
Nelson free scholarships to assist
naval reserve mon to rise in the pro-
fession.
Nelson endowment and extension of
Jack's Palace.
Nelson reading roosts in various
parts.
Nelson sailors' rest in King's Lynn
close to his birthplace.
Nelson memorial in Malta.
Nelson award for heroism.
The American people will be allow-
ed to participate in the commemor-
ation, to which President Roosevelt
has sent his blessing. In thanking
the society for the courtesy and
kindness extended to American sail-
ors, he says in a signed letter :
"Let me extend a cordial greeting
to you on this occasion of the cen-
tenary of the heroic death which
closed the wonderful career of your
great admiral, Nelson. With re-
newed thanks and all good wishes,"

FORECAST OF NEXT YEAR,
Almanac Seer Predicts Sauce Trou-
blous Events,
Wo are all in for an exciting time
Mars, Uranus, Nie'eury, and the
rest are conspiring to make things
hum in the coming year, and, what
with wars, earthquakes, droughts,
epidemics and assassinations, there
will be uo peace for any of us on
this unhappy planet.
All this on the authority of the
immortal Zadkiel, whose almanac is
just issued in London.
The Czar, in particular, is to have
a bad year of it. "There is no, en-
couragement" to anticipate "a turn
in the tide of war" in his favor. "In
fact, the best course would be to
evacuate Manchuria and make terms
of peace with Japan."
Then, again, the position of Mars
indicates great personal danger to
this unfortunate ruler "if he should 1
venture into a foreign country; also
a family bereavement. From Sep-
tember to the end of 1005 the Czar
will not be free frown danger."
The Kaiser, too,maylookout for
O
squalls, for iMarch Saturn
"plagues the ruler of Russia and
Kaiser Wilhelm." Further, Zadkiel
"regrets to forsoe a trying time"
for the Emperor of Austria.
In April "Mars becomes retro-
grade," and there is "some hope of
peace" in the Far East. But Rus-
sian military and naval disasters go
on just the same iu the following
months.
We in fnglancl will have nothing
to congratulate ourselves upon, In
September, for instance, there will
be anxiety on account of India.,
Again, there will be "much sick-
ness, many accidents, and an in-
creased death rate during the win-
ter quarter." Then road the fol-
lowing words and tremble :
"About, the eighth day (of Octo-
ber) a sudden blow against the
power and dignity of Groat Britain
may be struck, which will compel
this country to mobilize the fleet.
I trust that war will be avoided, but
it is my duty to point out the dan-
ger which is imminent in Europe and
M the Far East,"

many centuries les arurro
ts law to the
etlt, t that whenever the Emperor or
Empress appeared in public 00 other
person should 50010 to occupy a
higher plata than this member of
the Royal family; therefore on such
occasions the shutters of all upper
storeys were drawn, and the upper
parts of the houses past which the
Royal party moved were seemingly
deserted, This law Is still in effect,
LATEST DOG CENSUS,
According to the European dog
census, France leads the way with
2,864,000 dogs, an average of 75 to
every 1,000 human beings. Irish
dogs, curiously, comp next with a
percentage of 713 per 1,000. Eng-
land has 38 per 1,000, Germany 01,

from the Manchurian headquarters
describe in detail the pitiful scones in
the capital, Where every house has
become a hospital and the constant
017 is: "More doctors!"
The wounded commenced to arrive
at Muteden Oct. 11, and the Heaviest
day was Oct. 16, when the main road
leading to the city was absolutely
choked with ambulances, carts and
litters.
So far as possible preparations hail
been made by the Rod Cross Corns
to cape with tbo inevitable heavy
casualty list. 'Vhen Gen, ICouropat-
kin began his unfortunate advance,
every available ambulance accom-
panied him, as well as the doctors
anis nurses who served through the
Liao -Yang engagement.
Still the facilities were miserably
inadequate. A largo portion of the
much-needed Hospital supplies is still
at :Barbin, despite the urgent appeals
of the doctors, after the Liao -Yang
engagement, for more Vrelp and sup-
plies. Owing to an official blunder,
the additional supplies were not fLIr-
warded to M.ulc.den, the result being
that the Red Cross was Handicapped
n every way.
Train -loads of wounded were sort
direct to Tiding, and all who could
bear the journey were shipped to
Rabin, but there remained thousands
of cases which required immediate at-
tention, and these were ordered to
Mukdcn.
The doctors have been practically
without sleep for a week. Several
muses are reported to have actually
lied of exhaustion, ono of them—a
Sister of Charity—collapsing while
assisting at en operation. The sup-
ply of medicines and surgical appli-
ances lies run short.
It is estimated that et ]east 28,-
000 wounded men Have been treated
in bFukden, Scores of them died be-
fore surgical assistance could reacli
them. Gen. Kouropatkin has per-
sonally complimented tlio Red Cross
Corps for its exertions during the
past week.
Many Chinamen Have been pressed
into service as hospital assistants.

AN EPICURE IN CONDIMENT.
It was in the dining -.room of a
000111ry hotel, and the brisk tvalt-
ress held a glass pitcher above some
stoaning buckwheat ical:es she had
placed before the guest from town.
"Sir'p?" she asked,
"1'f you please."
"Will you have it mound and
raound, or in a Puddle?"
"Beg pardon?"
"!hound and mound, or in a
puddle?"
"I—I hn a puddle, I think.".
The golden. atreant began Its sticky
descent on tine' center of the cakes,
and as she potired, the waitress in-
