The Secrets of an onstrrsc Science Dc
scribcd In I.unil Tcrnit.

.Tommctry is study witch treats-an
mighty dry treat it is-of dividin up
surfaces. On,the first page is aXums. A
axum is thing you can guess without
asSin, or sec without lookin. as, a ele-
fnnt IS bigger than a rat Only they
don't have any animals in jcmmetry,
and that's Why it's so stupid. One oil
tho easiest axums to remember is-"A
strate line is the shorts distance be.
tween two points"
This is pretty true, but 1t depends on
how the wailkin' is. and ON what lays be-
tween the two points.
There is two kinds uf Jorlmetry-
plain and solid. Plain jommetry is any
thing but plain; but solid jommetry is
orfully solid
Firgcrs come next. They have sides
and angles. like old maids. a square is
II figger with four ekal sides and four
ellal angles. The angles ave called
rirht angles, because you generally
make them wrong.
A triangle has thrce sides, and comes
to point. / always come to the point
when want money for shootin crackers
nn SO on; and then mother tries anglin
for me with her slipper, or her hair
brush. whichever is hUndicst.
After awhile you learn theeorems.
You draw lines, drop perpcndiculars,
and all that. Every thing is a. B. G,
and d. T. i. ono of tie first you learn
is that a strato line drawn through two
parallel lines cuts them at tho same
auglc.
1t looks easy, but it's no fool of IL job
to prove it. By and by you learn about
the square on the hippopotamus OF the
right anglcd triangle, otherwise known
rs the pawns as honorula. Chem last
| three words is Latin.)
Solid jommctry is mere intcrestin than
plain jommetry. 1t is fun to make cubes

a Celebrated rrtciirGl ,I"lScr Gets the
'rnhics Tanned uu rim.
Younr Edward H. Sothcrn ia pretty
nearly as much disposed to practical
inkcs rs was his father, who in his day
.Leat tho worlds record in that limo, but
thc young man has recently had to ac-
Knowledge that FOR once no was over
como, Tho incident occurred at tho
hotel wherc Mr.. Sothorn was stopping.
A party of his friends were discussing
the laughablo and effective scene in the
second act of Lord Chumloy," in which
he takes his morning bath bohind n
screen, and after splashing in bath
tub full of water speaks of the coldnoss
of tho water and his pcrplexities in
dressing. The group of his friends fell
into an argument as to whether Sothern
could do the whole thing in nino min
utes, tho time which it occupies on the
stage.
The debate eliminated in a wager,
tho winner to donate stakes to charit-
able purpose, that Mr.. Sothorn could not
enter the bathroom at tho hotcl, robcd
only in his dressing-gown, take his
plunge dress himself as in the play, re-
peating the lines set down in the same
manner rs no does each evening, ana re-
appear in nino minutes. MIR. Sothern
thourht he could, although he had never
tried it. At tho time appointed the per-
sons interested met Mr.. Sothern in his
room. and while he retired behind
screen to disrobe for tho trial one OF tho
number volunteered to FIJI the both-tub
a.
with water, stipulating that ut tho APP
pointed cue only Mr.. Sothern should
plunge into 1t so as to be thoroughly
submerged. This gentleman was the
one who had wagcrcd that MIR. Sothern
could not succeed. Whom all was an
nounccd as ready Mr.. Sothern entered
the bath room, partially closing the
door, and proceeded with the lines of the
play, speaking them just as earnestly as
he does on the stage. People who have
seen the play will remember that he
speaks of the water being frozen, his
calling for hammer to break the ice,
his shivering in contemplation,a and then
saving: zone brave plunge. and all Is
over" Just rs he is supposed to dash into
the water.
Sothern made bravo jump into the
bath tub at the hotel, and the noise of
the plunge was distinctly heard outside.
Then came up great and agonizing
wall. oh" shrieked Sothern. you
villains have filled this tub with scald-
ing water. Never mind. I'll make it
vet, but 1 will do my shivering outside
of the tub"
There were shouts of laughter from
ceedcd with the lines and business OF
the scene to the end, and issued from
tho bathroom fully dressed and asked
in his usual bland fashion: where's
my other slipper?" in just seven minutes
and three-quarters. But the high color
in his face was not all due to indigna-
ton at the joke played upon him.-Phil-
adelphia Inquirer.

FISH AND LEPROSY.
A New Theory Regarding the Cause OF the
Terrible Disease.

Terrible Disease.
Jonathan Hutchinson, writing in the
Friends Quarterly Examiner makes
strenuous effort to prove that leprosy Is
caused by constant fish diet and that
it is not contagious. llo calls attention
to the fact that at the present day in
England there are only few imported
cases, and no special precautions arc
taken against contagion; yet the disease
never spreads.
The United States has remarkable i'm
munity from The disease, and this in
spite OF the fact that emigration from
the lcprosy districts OF Norway to the
States has been very free. Noting the
parts Of the globe whero lcprosy Is stlll
indigenous Mr.. Hutchinson points out
that these are either on the seacoast or
in proximity 10 rivers or lakes, while

"For several years, in the spring months,
I used to be troubled with drowsy, tired
feeling, and dull pain in the small of my
back, so bad, at times, as to prevent my
being able to walk, the least sudden motion

Many of the conservative members OF

is. the Eastern lodges may decline TO

which of course. would leave tine West
