Anaemia.
Anaemia means deficiency of blood.
If a person loses a quart or more of
blood ty a hemorrhage, or a severe
surgical operation, or in connection
with childbirth, it is very evident that
he or she has a deficiency of blood,
for there leas- be.n a loss of a con-
siderable portion of the normal sup-
ply of the body, consequently he or
she is anaemic,
It a.man cuts his throat o r rup-
tures a blood -vessel in his brain, or
a dilated artery, called an aneurism
breaks there is so great and sudden
a loss of blood that he dies, for blood
is essential to lifo.
It used to be thought that because
the blood carried humors and diseases
over the body, it was a good plan to
occasionally draw some of it off, and
bleeding for hundreds of years was
fashionable practice for almost every.
kind of ailment.
Sometimes it worked well and poo-,
pie were relieved by it, but very often,
it was mischievous and a person who
had been bled several times in the!
course of a disease became so anaemic,
that he was practically or actually
killed by Che treatment he had receiv-
ed.
A vigorous sugar maple may lose a
I portion of its sap every spring, it is
ono evidence of the prodigality of
nature in supplying the means which
are concerned with life, but let a tree
that is sickly or poor or withered,
lose a similar quantity of sap and it
will promptly die.
A person who has plenty of blood
may be anaemic from the poverty` of
its quality, especially when it lacks
the proper quantity of coloring ma;
tarial called haemoglobin which con
tains iron and oxygen; iron and oxy-1
gen therefore are essential to that
body and to the blood. -
A person who is anaemic is pale,'
not for a few moments only as in'
fright or sudden emotion but all the i
time, the face, the lips, the entire skin'
are colorless like those of tine dead.
The sante is true when the skin is;

the furnace will have to be forced

She rooms on the first story.
Tlie average contractor will tell
you that it is not necessary to use
mortar. His argument is that the
weight of the house bearing down or

The anaemic often suffer from
buzzing in the ears, dizziness, faint-
ness, and shortness of breath.
All of these symptoms mean not
only that the blood is insufficient,
poor and- deficient in the substances
which build up the body, but that the
heart by the action of which the blood
is kept in motion is unable to do pro-
per work, that the kidneys cannot per-
form their task, that the lungs do not
contract vigorously enough to supply
the blood with the proper amount of
oxygen, and consequently that the
brain is unable Or respond to the
usual demands by which thought is
created,
An anaemic person under any cir-
cumstances is' therefore more or less
disqualified from. doing work and in
many cases he is entirely helpless.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
X. --»Please tell me how I can get
rid of a very troublesome corn. Have
used various means of removing it,
but it has always returned. Do you
think it would be dangerous to have
the doctor cut it out?
Answer—In matters like this, at
least two courses are possible. You
can use a felt corn plaster which pro-
tects the toe from the shoe and fre-
quently ig all that is necessary, or you
can have the corn removed by a com-
petent chiropodist. Of course, it
will coarse back again, as long as you
continuo to wear shoes.
Reader—Please tell me the course
and cure for varicose veins,
Answer—They are due to the pres-
sure of the blood current in the veins,
working against gravity: This results
in dilatation and weakening of the
vein walls and frequently causes drag-
ging sensations and even pain. Some-
times relief is procured by support-
ing the veins by a bandage or some
other means of support, and if this is
not effectual, it is necessary to tie the
veins and cut off the circultution from
the vessels which are thus diseased.

Now, this brother does not weary

A theological student produced sev-

began to rend then to an admiring
father and mother, and to a married
brother who IV/IS supposed to be filled
with admiration. As he turned page

was nodding anct•grimacing to the in-
fant that lay gurgling in his arms.
At last he could stand it no longer,
"I care no more about your baby
than you do about my sermons!" he
cried hotly as he left the room.

"No, father, I didn't," replied the
young woman. about whose lips there
lurked only the suspicion of a 0111110.
She was not ::v;tu•e of this startling
state of ail•airs and, after five mi-
nutes, could not have told whether the
country wasted millions or billions of
dollar:. 13ut she loved her father
and admired him fur his knowledge of
many subjects that interested het' not
at all. She knew that her father
loved her and that he was proud of
her work, which others admired.
There was not the slightest "feeling"
between them.

iotching Floor Joistls.
It is the custom in some localities
to notch the floor at the centres for
gas pipes oe conduits for electric wir-
ing,. That should not be clone, as it
weakens the joists. Frequently the
floor snags in the middle and causes
the plaster beneath to crack.
The saving• in cost of that method
over the correct Way to run the pipes
or conduits is poor economy, consider-
ing the damage which might follow.
The proper way to lay pipes on the
floor beams is to notch the joists par-
allel to the wails and not over twelve
inches .from where they rest on their
bearings. Then extend the piles
from 'those points to the required
locations in the spaces between the
joists.
The beamd used for lions are very
-rarely stronger tlnan..is ju§t necessary.
If they are cut in the centre they be-
come 'too weak by exactly the depth
of the notches: Cutting them close
to the bearings doors not destroy the
eetreo gth, It is in the centre where
they are affected most.
Good Advice.
Robert Louis Stevenson was once
called upon to address r Sunday
school class of young girls. ' He told
511E11. 5T'f ALTEit POOR, DOG) ()INNER - them the parable of the talents, and
then went on to say that there were
three talent's everyone possessed and
ought to make use of: "Tongues that
they most use to cheer end make
happy all around Olean; faces that
they must keep bright as now shill-
ings, so that they might shine like
aims in their 120100a anti hands that

Removing a Stubborn Nut.
Scarcely anything is more tantaliz-
ing than. trying to remove a nut from
a bolt that turns in its socket, The
following method will almost always
overcome this difficulty and enable
the nut to be screwed off with conl-
pal•ative ease: With tt cold chisel
make an Incision in the head of tho
bolt similar to that found' in the heads
of screws. Often the chisel incision
is sufficient to enable the screwdriver
'ttz._get a good grip; sometimes, how-
ever, it may be neeessaey to deepen
the incision with a file. Frequently
the chisel itself answers very well
for a screwdriver. Thus' gripped it
is a comparatively easy matter to
start the stubborn nut.
Saturating the threads of the nut
-With kerosene a few minutes before
attempting to unscrew it, often makes
the attempt easier, for the kerosene
penetrates quickly to the rusted re-
cesses of the nut and softens the rust
quits perceptibly.
If for any reason it is not advisable"*Ilr
to indent the nut head with a cold
chisel, opposite sides of the head may
be filed away slightly so as to enable
the wrench or vise to get a flat grip.
With a sharp file it is only a m°ment's
task to file away the .mall bit requir-
ed to do this. The writer has retnoved
very stubborn bolt; by both of these
methods; and can re.ommend them as
great savers of temper and time,
A Frenchman has invented an elec.
tive silencer for aeroplano motors
that is said to reduce the pewee but 2
per cent.
