Travelling EtiGuette.

Is there sleeping car etiquette. an
well as laws of good breeding for other
quarters?
The writer, on recent trip from
Asheville, N. O., to Washington, had
occasion to consider this inquiry.
A family, evidently of means and So
cial standing, consisting of six persons
-four women, young and old, and two
men-monopolized the services of the
sleeping-car porter and of the person in
charge OF the buffet car, SO that no one
could get meal. They were noisy un-
til late hour of the night, so that no
one could sleep, and they were SO OBJ
llvious of the dictates of common de-
cency as not even to thank gentleman
who had given up lower berth to one
of the ladies.
These people were purse proud, vul-
gar, and offensive, yet no one con-
ductor or other person, rebuked them.
1t was relief to reach Washington
and be free from the forced and disa-
greeable association.
1t Is evident that there are lots of
such arrogant and ill-bred parties trav-
cling over the land, and it would serve
them right if passengers should some
time combine and make it hot for
them.
The railway employees seem to be
afraid of them, and they appear to ig-
more the existence of the rest of the
world. They deserve punishment for
their rude and selfish behavior, and
rarely get it.-PiHsbatrgh Chronicle

ignorance; for certain it is that child
properly attended may, within month
after its birth, be SO managed as to
make such a precaution unnecessary.
Instinct, in the first stage of the in
fant's life, is much the same in the
human species as in the brute creation:
all know how this matter is managed
by the latter; their young know IL also
and always wait the directions given nv
the mother, who is too attentive to nes.
lect the proper seasons. In the same
manner children may immediately be
taught by certain signs, and by this
means made to be perfectly cleanly
from the very outset. Those who have
been habituated to such method, if
by chance left too long, will indicate
their wants In most expressive man
ner, and repeat that indication until
they are attended to. From this
it IS evident that any inconveniences of
this sort may be prevented by proper
management, without having recourse
to method as injurious as it is lazy
and offensive.

BY PROF. j. f. ELSoM.

1t has been wisely said, and with
much truth, too, that "the primary
requisite to happy households and
contented families is the proper care
and management of infants" in fact,
the future destiny of the entire human
race, for veal or woe, depends largely
sn the manner in which infants are
cared for and the principles propa-
gated as the intellectual faculties are
developed, and the few remarks shall
make bearing on this subject shall be
shorn of all ambiguity of expression,
and made applicable to universal ap-
plication, not to suit few isolated
cases.
All who have arrived at maturity
will recollect the painful, perhaps in
furious, not to say cruel, scenes wit
messed in families representing all the
walks of life, from the humble cottage
OF the artisan to the palatial home of
the nabob; hence it is but reasonable
to suppose that all classes and condi-
tions of mankind have az interest, par
amount to all others, in the welfare
and comfort, both now and in after
life, of the wee thing that Is to either
honor or disgrace us in the days that
are to come.

Black Hawk, however, retreated. This

among the settlements, for the

widely scattered bands, and were aug

slight skirmish occurred at Kellogg's
plantation, during which five whites were
killed and many wounded. A large force
of soldiers was sent for, but they arrived
too late to capture Black Hawk. A rally
was made from Fort Hamilton few days
later, and at the east fork of the Peca-
tonica, in grove, twenty-one daring
Wisconsin volunteers came upon Black
Hawks warriors. A desperate battle en-
sued, and the entire band of Indians,
seventeen, was destroyed.

The End of the World Calculated,

A French statistician who has been
studying the military and other records
with view of determining the height
OF men at different periods, says the Phil
adelphia Times, has reached some won
derful results. A Frenchman is natur-
ally an artist, even in figures. A
German or an American might content
himself with dry arithmetical COM
pllation, but this artist carries his sta
tistics into the realm of history and OF
poetry, and even of prophecy. He has
not only solved some perplexing prob
lens in regard to the past OF the human
race, but also is enabled to calculate
its future and to determine the exact
period when man will disappear from
the earth.
The recorded facts extend over
nearly three centuries. 1t is found
that in 1910 the average height of man
in Europe was 1.75 metres, or say
feet 8 inches. In 1890 it was feet 6
inches. In 1920 it was feet 5 inches
and a fraction. At the present time it
is 8 feet B inches and three quarters.
1t is easy to deduce from these figures
a rate of regular and gradual de-
cline in human stature, and then to
apply this, working backward and for
ward, to the past and to the future.
By this calculation it is determined
that the stature of the first men at
tanned the surprising average of 16
feet 8 inches. Truly there were giants
on the earth in those days. The race
had already deteriorated in the days
of Og, and Goliath was quite degen-
crate offspring of the giants Coming
down to later times we find that at the
beginning of our era the average
height of man was feet, and in the
time of Charlemagne it was feet
inches, a fact quite sufficient to account
for the heroic deeds of the Paladins.
But the most astonishing result Of
this scientific study comes from the
application of the same inexorable law
of diminution to the future The cal
culation shows that by the year 1000
A. D., the stature of the average man
will be reduced to fifteen inches. At
that epoch there will be only Lilipu-
tians on the earth. And the conclu-
sion of the learned statistician is
irresistible, that "the end of the world
will certainly arrive, for the inhabit-
ants will have become so small that
they will finally disappear finish
by disappearing" as the French idiom
expresses it-"from the terrestrial
globe"

VIM You BE carved Downg

All persons afflicted with obesity
will be interested to hear of the surgi.
cal operation which has just been per-
formed at Paris upon M. Hiroguelle, a
well known literary man, whose fame
as gourmet is only equaled by that
which he has achieved with his pen.
Unable to bring himself to abandon
the delights of his native cuisine or to
submit to the Spartan diet and severe
regimen prescribed by the "Banting"
process, he placed himself in the hands
of Drs. Marx and Demars. The lat
ter, after putting him under chloro-
form, raised his cuticle, and cut away
four and three-quarters pounds of his
adipose tissue. The skin was then
up, and week later M. Hiro-
guelle had quite recovered from the
effects of the operation, which is known
as "de graissage," and bids fair to be-
come the rage among fat men.

Where Families Constitute Large
Armies,

The King of Whydah's wives were
objects of special care to himself, and
of enforced veneration to his people,
says writer well versed in African
affairs. The favorite ones lived in
palace with him. the others were ao-
commodated in adjoining buildings. No
men were employed in the royal house,
hold, and the King was served solely
by his wives. When visitors came to
see the King he received them alone,
taking good care that his wives were
out of sight. 1t was, indeed, held
sacrilege to so much as look at any OF
these royal spouses. When repairs,
which could not be done by them, were
needed in the palace, they migrated
from the affected portion. and the
plumbers and GLACIERS coming in had
to keep on shouting out the whole time
they were at work, in case any of the
wives not acquainted with the fact of
their presence, should happen to pass
that way. When the Kings wives set
out to work in the plantations, which
they did every morning in patches of
three to four hundred at time, they
used to cry "stapd clear" as they went,
and any men who were in their path
prostrated themselves and did not dare
to raise their eyes till they had passed.
On account of the awe in which his
wives were held, the King found them
very useful and executive to carry out
his commands. II any person was
found guilty of crime the King sent q
detachment of his wives round to the
mans house in order to strip it of it's
goods and pull it down. This was usu-
ally very soon effected, for on the ap-
proach of the Kings wives the man
was unable to remain and defend his
property.
When each man was so well supplied
with wives, it was but natural that his
children should be proportionately nu-
merous. 1t is said that one man with
his sons and grandsons rose and de-
feated powerful enemy, who was COM
ing against the King. The family
numbered 1000 persons.

Danger in the Wet-Nurse.

The foregoing method is far prefer
able to wet nurses, as there is hazard of
imbibing ill-humors, disease, ETC., from a
woman whose temper and constitution
must be very imperfectly known; here
mothers close inspection is very nee
essary, it being almost impossible to
make the lower class of people, from
which the nurse supply is drawn, and
who, generally speaking are employed
to care for children, believe the utility
of this uncommon method, and, conse-
quently, unless the most prudent pre-
cautions are taken to enforce the
obedience to these orders, it will be
useless to issue them.
