As yet he has ordered no early morning ses- sions of medicine ball such as Boone uggested to the' President. His mission is more to advise than to command.

Gyrinidae Family. PINNING and whirling madly about the surface of the pond or stream, the whirligig beetle seems to live a life of pleasure with nothing to do but have a sociable time with riends and family. It is said that will form the initial of your name { if you throw a pebble in their midst. | There are 40 species of these beetles known. They may be found in most | every pond of still water. All are blue- | black, they vary in size from three- fourths of an inch to the tiny ones b his hardly over one-sixth of an inch. They have unusual compound eyes which are | divided. ‘The horny wig-cases meet in a straight line down the back. The gentlemen of the family have a soft cushion of hairs on the front leg. Besides being able to swim and dive. they can fly. An added attraction is they can sing to each other. True to those of us who have heard the solc he sounds like squeaking. They accom- plish this feat by rubbing their wing- cases against the tip end of their body. In order to get a flving start they climb up a stem near by or any upright object. With this assistance they start for another pond. In order to dive they | have a bubble at the tip of the body which they fill with air. They are able to stay under water for a long time.

His handy | atomizer is turned on you and a vile- | smelling whitish liquid is sprayed on' your hand. | During the Winter months the family retire to the mud flats of the pond. Late in the Spring they come to the surface in pairs. Whether they are newly wed I do not know. They are very joyful in their actions as they dart about the surface of; the water ‘The mother places her eggs on the leaves of a plant growing at the water’s edge. The bables are queer looking to | say the least. They are slender, with | long tapering gills which are fringed with fine hairs. On each abdominal | segment they have a pair of gills.

Martin Madden of Illinols was stricken one day while in the chamber and died shortly thereafter.

At the close of the last ses- sion of Congress he was treating a score or more of such cases. Many of the members call on the doctor off hours. He attends them and their families at home. If “flu” or colds | are_rampant, he is & very busy man, for he must do double duty. A pleasant, mild-mannered and WE» ular man, Dr. Calver looks little ltke the conventional physician. 1t is easy to mistake him for a mem- ber ot Congress as he goes sbouf the business of medicine in the left wing Incidentally, Dr. Calver has at his disposal in the HMouse expert advice, shou'd he ever need it.

They have to change their tactics in order to get along at all. The old habit is left hanging in air*and a& new one is nitiated. Now this works both wavs. When you send a child away from home make ssociates with those who will not be likely to stimulate him to initiate a poor habit. That has happened. The new scene sets an impression firmly. It is hard to eradicate an idea that has been set under the stimulus of new sensations to a new audience. When a child goes away from home he is certain to get new impressions Upon his return make the most of them. Cherish the good ones and carry them along. Hold fast to whatever good he gained.

My Neighbor Says: ‘When blankets are to be wash- ed for the first time they should be soaked over night in cold water and then rinsed. This is to remove the sulphur used in bleaching. After this they should be soused until clear in a luke- ‘warm lather made with bolled soap and water, and then rinsed well in clear water. Never sift bran when adding it to mixtures. The rough part is that which is desired. When making plum pudding the cook should allow three hours for boiling it. and take great care that the water in the pot never once ceases to boil.

JESSE W. SPROWLS, Individuality. If everybody were alike there would be no psychological problems. Psychol- “f’ and psychologists exist because peo- ple are different, Variation is the key to mind.

In fact, science is nothing but refined common sense. | Variation implies time. This means that individuality is a symbol of the life history or blography of the person possessing the individuality. Individuality from the standpoint of psychology is called personality. Vari. ations in physical traits constitute indi- viduality. Variation in psychological | traits constitute personality. Individ- uality and personality are, of course, re- lated, just as the ly and mind are in- separable.

C. PEATTIE. Every one who has passed not only the | age of innocence, but the age of ir- responsibility, does some lying awake. And most nature lovers in their waking hours have d: ‘weeks, months on end sometimes, n pressing affairs of |life take almost all their time, from | sunset to sunrise and after. So that, |like many another man before me, I have had at times to commune with natural things, with the wild and half- | wiid_environment, by night, and abed at that. Sleepless sometimes in these | nights of early Autumn, I find that my | | hearing goes exploring for me when my | eyes can see but little, Even so I can see much, the wheel- ing of the constellations through the |trees, and the passage of some animal | along the fence—a cat, as a rule, and | if the common cat is not part of the wild fauna then you have only seen cats asleep in the sun of day. But it | !is my ears that tell me that a cricket | has got into my house and is chirping | in the pantry; that squirrels run on | tke roof at dawn, and that my coun- | try neighbors’ hounds are on the trail | of_a rabbit. But of all the wild sounds that come to me at night the wildest always seems to me the sound of crowing roosters. Do they crow louder in Autumn, or do I merely dream it? Yet it seems to me they do, demanding that the sun rise and the nights grow not longer. | The sound. you say, is not wild at all, but civilized—the clarion of the farm | that, ringing against the neighboring | | woods#nd native American wilderness, | prociaims that the white man has come, with his rifle and dog and gun, his plow and his ax and his scythe, his ox |and his horse and his mate, to tame that wilderness to submission, to lay it to split it, burn it, uproot it. and lant it with sceds and with animals of his own liking. All that is indeed what the cock- crow seems to say in a warm September »on, when whistles blow and wheels | um. But the cockcrow at night is another matter. Then it is ghostly, | mysterious. and rawly animal. Then it becomes what, originally, it was—a jungle cry. For the common fowl of | the barnyard wes once a wild pheasant of the terrifically hot, wet forests of Southeastern Asia.

He poked his pretty head out of the bushes, although he expected | every second that that terrible monster would come back for him.
