Women Teachers Have Good Reason
For Dreading Tuberculosis.
That teachers are especially prone to
tuberculosis is the statement made by
the bureau of educational hygiene of
the city of New York. This department
says that this disease is 20 per cent
more prevalent among teachers than
among others of corresponding sex and
age and that about half of all deaths
among women teachers is caused by
tuberculosis, and this in spite of the
fact that teachers belong to a better
hygienic grade than the general aver-
age.
Strenuous, nerve taxing work that
causes physical exhaustion and nerve
breakdown is given as the main cause.
Terman states th'st "four hours of ac-
tual teaching represent about eight
hours of ordinary office work." What
is probably the second cause is lack
of sufficient rest and regular exercise
in the open air.
Speaking along this line, the state
board of health says: "The wan, tired
look that usually marks the teacher,
especially about the close of school, is
too often a condition of serious cons&
quence. It may be just a 'tired, run-
down condition' or a case of 'wornout
nerves' or both, but these are predis-
posing causes of tuberculosis as much
or more than others.
"Unless the teacher is wise," says
the board, "and as quickly as possible
overcomes this tired feeling and re-
gains her usual state of health and
vigor she subjects herself to an open
risk against tuberculosis as well as to
other diseases.
"What the wise teacher will do is
to avoid overwork and a nervous strain
and see that she gets sufficient rest
daily as well as daily exercise in the
open air. This wornout condition that
Is too often the beginning of a long,
sad story is easy to prevent. To pre-
vent it should be the teacher's first
duty."

MADE A POOR GUESS.
The Chinese General Knew More Than
Did the Tibetan Buddha.
At the entrance of the lamasery at
Kumbum are eight large monuments,
which contain the ashes of eight
Buddhas. Long years ago, at the be-
ginning of the Ming dynasty, after
bard fighting the Tibetans were driven
back from Chinese territory, which
they had overrun for hundreds of
miles. When the victorious Chinese
general reached Kumbum he sent for
these eight Buddhas and said to them:
"You can read the future. Can you
tell me when you are going to die?"
One of them, shrewd en2n . to Tau'Aer
morrow." "No," said the general; "it
will be today." And it was.
Quite a number of temples and
buildings make up the lamasery. The
chief temple, which is dedicated to
Tsong Kaba, the great reformer of
Tibetan Buddhism, has a roof of gold,
variously conjectured as being from
one-eighth of an inch to half an inch
thick. Inside is a large image of
Tsong Kaba, said by some to be of
gold, but it is probably overlaid with
gold. The temple threshold is covered
with planks, and we saw many poor
deluded people prostrating themselves
in worship there. Around the main
building are many large prayer wheels,
which are kept well on the turn by the
devotees to obtain merit. - Christian
Herald.
Miseries of the Red Sea.
In the waters of the Red sea the
cessation of the engines on a steamer
for an hour means extreme physical
suffering for passengers; for a day it
would involve absolute torture. The
wind which prevails every day is a
hot, asphyxiating blast, and its contin-
uous directions are from north and
south toward the center. As a result
every passing vessel is subjected to
two days of almost intolerable heat,
followed by two days of compara-
tive comfort, but instances have been
known of crowded liners being com-
pelled when traveling with the wind
to turn round and stem back for an
hour or so in order to give the pas-
sengers even a brief respite from the
sufferings induced by the dull, dead,
unbearable atmosphere.
Must Try Something Else.
"I've planned a new cookbook for
wives who take but a desultory inter-
est in the kitchen."
"What's your idea?"
"Recipes Will be sandwiched between
short stories."
"That won't work. They won't read
the recipes. Next to looking at the
back of a book to see how a story
ends the favorite occupation of the
average feminine reader is skipping."
