A Bows Periods of Growth.

Based upon his measurements and an
notations, Mailing Hansen framed the fol
lowing rule: The weight of a boy ranging
from tho age of 0 to 10 u~ndergoes three
periods annually-a maximum. q me-
dunn, and a minimum period. The
maximum period lasts four and a half
months, commencing in August and end
ing the middle of December; the medium
stage has the same duration, from the
middle of December to the end of April.
The minimum period appears during the
remaining three months, from the end of
April to the end of July. The increase In
weight during the maximum period is
three times that of the medium period,
and almost all the gain of the medium
period is again lost during the minimum
period. From the working of this law
1t follows that in changing the diet at
academies, schools and asy1ums, the sea-
son should be considered. A good diet
would give less satisfactory results If OBJ
served from April to June, than a poorer
diet If noted from August until Deem
ber.-Julius Stinde In Popular Science

1t is singular that the hair of the hu-
man head should always nave been held
as something sacred, and to be associated
with sacred acts. Not to speak of the
way in which we cherish the lock shorn
from the dead, or the way In which the
lover treasures his mistress curl, the hair
has long had place In ceremonial acts of
sacrifice. As the strength of Samson, &C
cording to the old Bible narrative, was In
his hair, so it would appear that Achilles
felt himself still giving of his life and
strength when he cut off his yellow locks
to cast them on the pyre Of Patroclus.
Constantine had the hair OF his son Herac-
Illus dispatched to the pope as evidence
that he begged the pope to become the
lads adopted father. And as late as the
Eighth century people of rank were in the
habit of waiting, before cutting the hair
of their child for the first time, until the
cutting could be done by some individual
whom they particularly wished TO honor,
or whose patronage they desired to Sc
cure, the act constituting the individual
a sort of spiritual parent.-Harper's

The Good Nstured Japanese.

/ think the Japanese are the most good
natured and courteous race / aver saw.
1 never heard an angry word said the
whole time / was In that country, and as
an illustration of their courtesy take
this, which Isaw myself: 1t was in the
railroad station in Yokohama. l had
just returned from Toxic. The railroad
system Is just the same as that on the
continent, cars and all. You buy your
ticket for your destination, and when
you get there you pass through n gate
just wide enoughto let you pass through;
here a man stands who takes your ticket.
We were certainly 200 persons who got
out at that station, and we were headed
by n man who was evidently OF some
rank. When he got to the gate he
stopped; we all stopped. Then he bowed
very low three times to a man who was
standing outside of the gate. This bow
ing is done by placing the hands on the
legs very near the waist and then bend
ing the body and sliding the hands down
to the knees. After he had got through
the other returned the salutation, bow
ing three times in the same way. All
this time we stood still and there was no
crowding or pushing, every one seeming
to think it the most natural thing in the
world. Yet had this been in Europe,
just think what a row it would have
created Just imagine q whole train full
of people standing still and waiting for q
minute or two while two persons greeted
each other. Samuel +. Farrar in Chicago

Forage for the Goat.

"There are 1000 goats in Flatbush,
Crow Hill and Pigtown Alone" Mr..
Carey began. "How do they live? They
forage. People do not give the goat any
credit for discrimination. They think it
will eat anything from an old and dis
carded rubber to a nice green head OF
lettuce. They're mistaken. 1 shall not
attempt to name all a goat does eat, for
that, perhaps, would be impossible, but l
will mention some of the things it does
not touch. For instance, a goat will eat
nothing greasy, such IS fat, lard or but
ter. Meat, too, it detests, but brown
paper is to it a luxury. Goats easily dis
tinguish between brown and white
paper, and while they will tear and de-
stroy the latter they seldom eat it, unless
dying of starvation. Brown paper, as
you know, is made of straw and contains
q great deal of substance. l venture TO
say that a goat would give good, pure
milk if kept ON a diet of brown paper for
a month. In the matter of trees, too, the
goat is particular. 1t will not touch the
bark of old ones, but delights to dine off
the fresh young sprouts of those recently
planted. Is goats milk healthy? Look
at those children. They've been brought
up on t."-"Sesame" in Brooklyn Eagle.

R HOURS OF TERROR.

1t was about six years ago. 1 recall
the scene and the circumstances wildly
to mind. / can see now the large square
room in an old fashioned rambling hotel
in the quaint little town of -, in Ger
many, where l sat that night. 1t was
winter. Without it was dark and DESC
late. The naked branches of the trees
swayed and tossed as II tortured by the
cruel blasts from the north; the tiny river
that erstwhile danced so gayly over the
stones in its bed at the foot Of the garden
was stilled and stiffened In an icy en-
brace, and the wind moaned and ratified
at the easements like a belated wanderer
begging for shelter.
Within there was warmth and light
and luxury. The monumental porcelain
stove placed close up in a corner, as If,
like a superfluous piece of furniture, to
get 1t out of the way, had unobtrusively
diffused a delicious, languorous summer
warmth throughout the room. A softly
shaded lamp burned upon the table, and
l, wrapped in a cosy tea gown, was half
reclining on a quaint old chaise longee.

Has q Marrow Escape Prom BeInR
KIDNAPPED.

LONDON, March 2.-The Chronicle o.
yesterday gave editorial prominence I,
the following ridiculous story: at ap
pears that the Prince Of Wales had {
narrow escape the other day from being
kidnapped by Fenian pirates. While at San
Reno he went out for a little sail in an
Italian pinnace. For several days pre-.
vious a mysterious yacht had been hover.
ing about the port. 1t bore the Ameri.
can %colors, and the people thought it was
engaged in taking scientific soundiDgs.
The Princes p~innace had bareley got out
to sea when the strange yacht pulled
on ahead, bore down on it in n suspicious
manner. Fortunately a guuboat belong.
ing to the British squadron appeared on
the horizon, and perceiving signals Of dis.
tress hoisted by the pinnace, at once
made for the yacht, which now hoisted
the Irish flag. The chase lasted
some time, but the yacht succeeded
in getting of. Meanwhile the Prince
Of Wales got back to port, happy in
having escaped from captivity. which
would have lasted as long as the English
Government refused justice to Ireland.

no physician was called, it being thought
a case Of chicken pox or something OF
that nature. Yesterday. however, Drs.
Conn and Mason we're called and ct nee
pronounced it a case Of smallpox. Though
the patients face is thickly covered with
