ai Medical Authority Points Out the Dan- gers to American Youth. It is wrong to put any one In train- ing at any time, to create a physio- logic cardiac enlangement which re- mains to plague hive in afterlife, but to place the growing boy under this regimen is nothing short of criminal. No college sport should require “train- ing,” no matter how much practice is needed, and no game should single out a few very abnormal men. Sports are necessary -parts of youthful life, the essential of child’s education, in- deed, and every one must take part in them to educate the nerves, not to deaden them. Games are normal only when they cultivate perceptions to accuracy and PERIL IN COLLEGE TRAINING quickness, but never should they put - the tisstes to their maximum allow- able strain. Play of animals and chil- dren is really a means of educating or exercising other parts of the nerv- ous system than the mere memory, which seems to be the main thing drilled in our college youths. If some play is beneficial—and there does not seem to be any doubt on that point— then it must be utilized and encour- aged for every student and not so utterly ignored and allowed to degen- erate to a form which is injurious — American Medicine. PRIZE ADDED TO LONDON ZOO Australian “Frogmouth” Rarely Seen in Captivity. Not the least interesting of the birds recently added to the London zoo collection is a specimen of Cu- vier’s pedargus, a curious Australian species familiarly known as the “frog- mouth,” says the Philadelphia Record. This remarkably owl-like bird ‘is a member of a small family not far re- moved from the nightjars. It is a lazy bird, of nocturnal habits; al- though insects form its chief food, small birds, mice and such dainty morsels are included in its bill of fare. In size it resembles a barn owl, for which, at first sight, it might easily be mistaken. Its dull plumage is in keeping with its natural environ- ment. Its favorite resting place is on the dead branch of some tree, and its resemblance to a withered stump is wonderful. The eggs of this bird, which is not often seen in captivity, are two in number, and white; they are usually laid in a nest of sticks placed in the fork of a tree, and both parents take turns on the nest. The frogmouth appears rather stupid by day and it is by no means easy to rouse it from its iethargy. Irish Idiom. We are told that “bedad” is not Irish at all, never has been Irish ex- cept in the mind of the English come- dian; and the mere Saxon is cheated of his anecdotes. If the Irish- If you may not say “bed: yu may say at every op- portunity, it destroyed that ye are?” blind woman is a “dark” woman stead of you must say “whisht!” in- hush!” and if a direct ans- is to be wrung from you—which y be aveided in Ireland— “It is,” or “Ye are,” or »,” as the ca: may be, “but never the plain English “Yes.”’—Lon- don Chronicle. The Artistic Temperament. Gilbert Keith Chesterten says in his “Heretics” “The artistic tempera- ment is a disease t ama- teurs. It is a disease arises from men not having sufficient power of expression to utter and get rid of the element of art in their sily, as e easily force the thing be- re, and produces a definite pain, which is called the ar- tistic temperament. The great trag- of the ar ¢ temperament is produce any art.” comes a P When an Indian f ck.in Alaska the medicine man pruceeds to adminis- ter all kinds of sacred rubbish and makes p2sses with secret ratiles over the sickbed. One of these rattles looks like a sme! Indian club, with a double faced mask enclosing the rat- tles. A few shakes of this monstros- ity and the man with pneumonia is cured. Smallpox, diphtheria, lumbago, North Pole appendicitis and all such Giseases are frightened out of the body when the medicine man flour- ishes his instruments of medicine above the sick man’s head. Frame House of Other Days. “I was down in South Brooklyn the other day, where they are putting up many frame houses,” said an old-time builder. _ “They don’t build houses as they used to. In my day all frame- work was mortised and pinned to- gether, and nothing smaller than six- inch stuff would do for sills and cor- ner posts. Now the sills and corner posts are 2x4 scantlings nailed to- gether, and a mortise is unheard of. Carpenters don’t carry mortising chis- els and maliets in their kits nowa- days.”—New York Sun. Removing Smell of Paint. Paint smell, so injurious to health, is easily removed from a room by standing in it a pail of cold water containing a large handful of hay or a cut-up onion or two. The water alone will answef the purpose, but not so quickly as with the addition of the hay or onions. Leave the pail in the room for several hours and then if the painty smell still lingers throw away its contents, fill it as before and leave it to finish {ts work. \ | concu j most of them | by the name of Backhus. Cobwebs From the Brain and Inspires High Thinking. Good music is a powerful tonic to many people, especially those suffer ing from melancholia. It lifts them out of their solemn moods, dispels gloom and despondency, kills discour aged feelings and gives new hope, new life and new vigor. It seems to put a great many people into proper tune. It gives them the keynote of truth and beauty, strikes the chords of harmony, dispels discord from tke life, scatters clouds and brings sunshine. All good music is a character build- er, because its constant suggestion of harmony, order and beauty puts the mind into a normal attitude. ~ Music clears the cobwebs out of many minds, so that they can think better, act bet- ter and live better. Some writers are dependent upon music for their in- spiration and their moods. Somehow it brings the muse to them. It adds brilliancy to the brain and facility to the pen which they cannot seem to get in any other way. Good music seems to give us @ touch of the divine and to put us in contact with divinity. It drives out evil thoughts, making us ashamed of them. It lifts us above petty annoy- ances and little worries of life and gives us a glimpse of the idea which the actual is constantly obscuring.— Success. MARBLES CAME FROM GERMANY. Delight of Children Originated in World's Toyshop. Marbles got their name from the fact that originally little bits of mar- bles were rolled down the hills and rounded and pounded by other stones until they become toys for children to play with. It is said that the Dutchman ex- ported them to England, from where we got them. Whether they did or not makes little difference to the boys and girls of to-day. No matter who intro- duced the world to marbles as toys, they are with us, and always will be. Some of you win them from other children—some of you trade postage stamps for them; but some person or- iginally bought them from the little store around the corner, whose owner got them from that greatest toy shop in the world—Germany. In the beginning marbles were call- ed bowls, and men and women played with them, as well as children. Hun- dreds of millions of commieg and agates and glasaies and shiners are sent to America and the children get more pleasure out of these cheap lit- tle toys than almost anything else.— Washington Star. Dynamite “Whiskers.” The name “whiskers” is applied to | feathery erystals which gather upon the outside of the wrappings of frozen dynamite. The “whiskers” are more “irritable” than dynamite itself. A case is on record where sticks of dyna- mite had been thawed out in hot ater ‘and the can of hot water in which it was done left in the black- smith shop without being emptied of he residual scum of grease and whis- The first blow of the black- smith’s hammer on a nearby anvil was sufficient to set off the whiskers by cn. The can was blown to pieces, but fortunately no one was hurt. Superstitious Zulus. An official in Africa writes of the Zulus: “About 5,000 people were here t Friday and, the ‘indaba’ (discus- lasting until after sundown, were compelled to Having no food for their entertainment, I hurricly purchased two bulls, which I gave the chiefs. Knowing their superstition, I did not kill the animlas, but allowed them to do so. However, none of them would touch the meat. They thought I might have bewitched the animals, and that by partaking of the meat they would lose all influence with their people.” n) ep here. Wood Was Coming Too Freely. Some sixty years ago the town of Palmer, Mass., had a settled minister In those days the minister’s salary was paid in part by products from the farms. In the month of February, with easy sledding, the farmers took to draw- ing green birch wood to the minister until his yard was piled full of it The following Sunday the minister reverentially ascended the steps to his pulpit, and in a loud voice said: “If I could have.a few more loads of green birch wood I could extinguish the fires of hell.”—Boston Herald. Life-Saving Boats With Power. Several boats equipped with power have been built for the United States life-saving service. One of these, the Rescue, has been delivered to Sandy Hook, and already has proved that she is capable of doing excellent work. The boats are thirty-four feet long and fitted with gaseline engines. Here- tofore it has not been possible for life-saving men to go out in boats of wind to use their canvas, as the craft were too heavy to row any distance. Depths of the Ocean. The greatest ocean depths are not found in the Atlantic, as there are ver- itable abysses to be met with on the other side of the globe. Close to New Zealand the water attains a depth of five and a half miles in the Kermadec and Tonga ravines, which in them- selves attain a height of 29,530 feet, while they are separated from each other by a chain of mountains 9,850 | feet high.

In the first place, the precious stone is near the top of. one of the great towers of the castle. To reach it you would have to climb 125 feet inside of a dark, cavernous don- jon.

ARTIST NOT FOND OF LABOR Turner Pasted on a Picture the Print of a Vase He Wanted. On one of Mr. Edward Moran’s vis- its to London he made a careful study of Turner. They stopped in front of “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage,” and Mr. Moran, after examining the canvas closely, made the startling assertion that the vase to the right was not a part of the picture, but was pasted on it. Mr. Warnham laughed the idea to scorn and said it was gbsurd. Mr. Moran persisted that he was right and wagered a dinner and a bottle of wine that he could prove it if he were given the opportunity. The wager was accepted. The pic- ture was taken down, the glass was removed, and, to the astonishment of the keeper, Mr. Moran raised the edge of the paper, over which, surely enough, the vase had been painted. Evidently, to save himself the trou- | ble of drawing the object, Turner had | cut the vase out of_some print, skill- fully hiding the point of juncture.— Nev York Herald. GOT TRUE FACE OF COMPOSER.
