Pauline was employed as a nurse Id a Jamestown, II. I., sanitarium, j tu place that took care of people who had nerrous disorders and linffi who were mildly insane. Pauline hesitated a long time before she itcepted the position didn't like the Idea of working around among Insane people. But the superintendent assured her that there were no dan-gerous dan-gerous lunatics in the place, so In the end Pauline took the Job, never figuring that that doggone superintendent might not know what he was talking about , They gave Pauline a flock of keys and showed her about the place ii her the most important symptoms of each patient in her charge, and ,lt sort of actions to expect from them. Then they left her alone to i her work. It was night duty she was doing, and everything was quiet ihmt the sanitarium. Pauline was beginning to think her first fears Ud been unfounded. An Inexplicable, Uncomfortable Feeling. Things went smoothly until 2:00 a. m., that fateful zero hour of the it when patients' vitality is at ita lowest ebb and night nurses are led nd off guard. i Pauline was sitting at her desk, writing up her charts, when the became aware of an uneasy feeling the feeling that she was being watched. I don't know how to explain that feeling. IVe had It myself a couple i times, though, and I know how Pauline must have felt, sitting there ilone in that silent hospital She got up and made the rounds of all her patients, but they were il Id their beds and sleeping peacefully. Then she went back to her jest and sat down again, thinking it was just a silly fear that the stillness i the night shadows had brought on her. She picked up her pen again, but something made her put It down. Then she heard a sound behind her and leaped to her ' feet to face a gigantic colored man holding a long, sharp-bladed bread knife pointed straight at her throat To Pauline's fear-stricken eyes he looked like the largest man she lid ever seen. He was well over six feet tall, broad of shoulder, with iEKles that stood out like cords. This Was No Nightmare This Was Real! His eyes were large and bulging his mouth set in a humorless grin that displayed a double row of shining white teeth. But it was the knife fat caught Pauline's gaze and held her transfixed while her heart palpi- iited in her bosom. That knife, sharp and lagged of edge, pointed straight at ker throat, was moving toward her, slowly, an Inch at a time. She wanted to move, but fear rooted her to the spot "My throat," she says, "seemed frozen. I couldn't cry out any more ian I could move. I could only think think the terrible thoughts of i toman about to be murdered by an insane fiend. I stood there for rilaf ited! She Heard a Soft Sound Behind Her. That seemed to be at least three months and, actually, it was almost o minutes feeling that I was about to be stabbed and hoping he'd It quickly and have it over with." Two minutes I Only a tiny fragment of the day, but it's a long, long xe to be under the sort of strain Pauline was facing. Her knees went ap tod her head began to swim. She felt as if she was going to faint, and fought with all her power against it, for she knew that unconscious and helpless, the could expect no mercy from the knife-wielding maniac Suddenly she saw something white flash past her. There came a wA of scuffling feet, and out of a daze she watched a pair of arms ""circling her would-be assailant Accident Summons Aid Just in Time. The knife clattered to the floor, and the big negro, meek and whlm- 'tfing In the clutch of a male orderly, was led away to his room on the tor below. When the two had gone, Pauline sank into her chair again, ker body In a virtual state of collapse. The timely arrival of the wderly seemed to be nothing short of a miracle, for no orderly was supposed to be In that part of the building at that time of the eight When he came back, she asked him about it and between the two of them they figured out what had happened.

Opening the New Choptank Bridge Spring, Mystic Image, Costa Rica Attraction According to legend, a native girl of Costa Rica, while gathering firewood, fire-wood, found a small stone image upon a flat rock and carried it back to the village when she returned. In the morning it could not be found, but another trip for wood disclosed the Image at the place of discovery where later a spring of cool, pure water issued from a hole in the rock. .The local padre suggested that the image remain undisturbed, since apparently it had returned without human aid. A small shrine was built upon the spot and the image and the waters of the spring became be-came accredited with miraculous healing powers. Although locally called "La Ne-grita," Ne-grita," from the neighborhood in which it was found, observes a writer in the Chicago Tribune, the image is best known as "Nuestra Senora de los Angeles, Patrona de Costa Rica." or "La Virgen de los Angeles." The Image is surrounded surround-ed by an elaborate glory formed of gold and precious stones, and remains re-mains where found but under a glass cover and within the octagonal octago-nal Iron grill which protects the spring. In front of the shrine and spring 6tands the church of La Virgen de los Angeles.

Moulting Hens Should Have Substantial Diet By Rojr S. DMrstyna, Eitennlon PoultrlT BpeciallKt, North Carolina Stat College. WNU Bervlca. A mistaken sense of economy frequently fre-quently Induced poultrymen to feed their hens sparingly during the moulting period. Attempts to save feed at this time will prove costly to the poultrymen in the long run, When birds are fed scratch feed alone or only a limited amount of mash, the moulting period is prolonged pro-longed and they are unable to put on the necessary weight to carry them through the next laying season. sea-son. The result is a drop in egg pro duction that more than offsets the money saved by skimping on feed. Moulting birds have passed through a heavy laying period which taxed their vitality and reduced their body weight. They are also losing feathers which must be replaced. The birds need a balanced diet with plenty of protein to build up their muscular and glandular tis sue and to grow new feathers. A balanced mash and a liberal ration ra-tion of scratch feed should be be fore the birds at all times. Since most poultry flocks are more or less Infested with intestinal parasites It is advisable to deworm moulting birds not in lay. This will . Insure better health during the laying year. Late moultera and birds laying through the moulting period are considered most profitable. An abundance of good feed will help keep the birds in lay and shorten the period required for moulting. To Bake a Meringa Properly ' Meringues are usually spoiled la .he baking even when they are prop-jrly prop-jrly prepared. The meringue should juke slowly. Too hot an oven sears the outside and leaves the res: on- :ooked. The entire meringue should dry out first and then brown. Bake It in an oven of 300 degrees Fahren heit for from 15 to 30 minutes.

Hippo Charges Auto Giving a savage snort a hippo potamus charged an automobile from roadside wood between Victoria Falls and Livingstone, Rhodesia, re cently. The beast badly damaged the car. The woman passenger suffered a broken kneecap and her husband and daughter were bruised. The hippo's shoulder was badly Injured and the animal limped back to the woods. Enlarged Liver Caused by Not Feeding Properly Enlarged liver among chickens usually' indicates one of two things. Either they are eating too much or tne reea is concenirarea. in either case green feed and laxa tive should be resorted to when symptoms are clear; but above all. states an authority In the Montreal Herald, the ration should be changed and quantities fed should be stinted and strictly regulated. Production may keep up to a fairly high standard stand-ard until the disease has become chronic and this Is not esy to discern without a great deal of ex perience. , Hearty, growing birds can get this ailment as well as the other hens in the flock. Epsom salts in water, at the rate of one pound for 100 birds is the first thing to give to relieve the situation when a case of enlarged liver is discovered. A lit tle castor oil mixed with wet mash Is a desirable alternative. But the best remedy of all Is the changing of the rations. Make it less con centrated by adding more roughage In the form of alfalfa or clover prepared pre-pared In an attractive and palatable form, together with such vegetables as cabbage, carrots, turnips and others in season. It has been sug gested that 12 pounds of mixed grain might be fed to 100 birds per flay in addition to the mash that is kept before them at all times. Treating Wattle Disease Wattle infection, or edema of the wattle is caused by an organism organ-ism that lives in the soil, according accord-ing to II. M. Scott, Kansas State college poultryman. The infection causes the wattles to become filled with a fluid. In. some instances, they reach tfuge proportions. Death may result The most practical way of dealing with the problem is to cut off the wattles with scissors and apply a dusting powder to prevent pre-vent bleeding. The powder should be made of equal parts of calomel and powdered burned alum. Around the Poultry Yard Provide water in abundance but not too cold or freezing. Artificial lights provide the lay era with 12 to 14 hours of feeding time. ' Several hnndred thousand chick ens in flocks throughout Pennsylvania Pennsyl-vania have been tattooed in a vigorous vig-orous campaign to stop poultry thieving. The 1933 hatchery code contains provisions covering chlcken-sexlng. Definite guarantees must be made to purchasers who buy their chicks by sex, and these guarantees must be fulfilled. Breeding rations have been neat ly Improved within the last few years and one of the significant fea tures of this improvement Is the great Increase In the amount of milk recommended. Pekln ducks can be distinguished when they are seven to eight weeks old by their voice. The duck has pronounced "qnack," while the drake has a shrill voice of a much lower note. Lotus Did Not Crow on Nil The lotus, sacred to Buddhists, the symbol of the serene and contemplative con-templative East, did not grow on the Nile in ancient Egypt. What was called the "lotus" in translat ing Greek and Egyptian accounts was apparently a blue water-lily, says a writer in the Chicago Dally News. The confusion arises from the way people apply common names haphazard. Mayflower in New England means trailing arbutus, arbu-tus, in old England it means the hawthorn. Sycamore here means the plane tree, In the old world It la a maple. So with lotus. Eakimo Meant "th People" Origin of the Eskimo has never been definitely settled but It is known that the Indians were responsible for the title by which the race Is now known. Eskimo, In the Algonquin language, meant "eater of raw food." Eskimos 8euk of themselves as "innuit-Yuit" "innuit-Yuit" or "You-Kouk" which merely means "the people." -Pathfinder Magazine. Changing Weather Little basis exists for the con stant claims that the weather of the world is changing. Unusual weather conditions have come and gone for ages. As one example, snow fell throughout the northern part of the United States at fre quent intervals during the summer of 1810. IL W. Parsons, Lake-wood, Lake-wood, Ohio, In Collier's Weekly. Color Cures Among color cures, red is said to counteract inflammations, conges tions, rheumatism, pleurisy, and burns; yellow is used in cases of sciatica and neuritis; blue cures headache and neuralgia, and green is the treatment for nerve cases.
