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 le to unde'staud how to strengthen nerve0. Hearty laughter is a source 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.

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.

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.
