Tobacco and Physical Health.

DR.. J. w. Steaver, College Physi-
clan and Instructor in Athletics at
Yale University, reports that he has
made comparative study of the
users and non-users of tobacco in
the senior class during the past four
years, and from his measurements,
says the Scientific American, he
sums up his statistics as follows:
Average increase in lung capacity
in users of tobacco, O.15 liter; non
users, OBS; or an increase Of 66
per cent greater for non-users.
Inflated chest measurements, in
users, O.O3O4 meter; non-users,
0O364, or an increase of 19 per cent
greater for non-users.
Height, in users, O.O169 meter
non-users, O.O2O2, or an increase OF
20 per cent greater in non-users.
Weight, in users, O.4 kilosramme
non-users, O.5, or an increase of 25
per cent greater for non-users.
With regard to the possible effect
on scholarships, the statistics are
OF those who received junior ap'
pointments above dissertations, 95
per cent have rot used tobacco; Of
those above colloquies, 874 per cent
have not used tobacco; OF all who
received appointments, 84.3 per cent
have used tobacco; of the entire
class, 20 per cent have not used
tobacco.
DR.. Steaver says that these figures
accord with statistics that he has
kept for the past eight years, the
greatest percentage of gain always
being on the side of those who dc
not use tobacco. The greatest vari
alton in the two years widest part
has not been more than 4 per cent
Some of the students who are
classed among the non-users dc
smoke, but not oftener than once s
week, or at such long intervals tha
the tobacco is apt to have little or ne
effect on them. DR.. Steaver state!
that the prominent athletes do no
smoke or otherwise use tobacco as
rule, Calhoun being the only excep
ton in college. All the cndidate'
for the crew abstain from tobacco

The Dipper and the North Star.

Most people in clear day, can,
without watch or other timepiece,
form closely approximate idea of
the time of day by the position of
the sun; but few, perhaps, have
guessed at any similar method of
computing the time during the
night without any other means than
the "starry skies" Notwithstand-
ing, a fairly reliable time indicator
can be found in the northern skies
on every cloudless night. AS is
generally we'll known, the group of
fixed stars called the "Dipper'
makes an apparent revolution
around the North star in every "a
hours, with the two stars forming
the outer elevation of the bowl of
the dipper pointing nearly directly
to the polar star continuously. II
the position of the pointers" is
taken at any given hour, say six
O'Clock in the evening in winter
time and as soon as it is dark in
the summer, the hours can there
after be pretty accurately measured
by the eye during the night. Ere
quent observations of positions will
have to be made at the given hour,
as, owing to the constant chang
ing of the earth's position in space,
the position of the pointers" in
relation to our point of observation
and the star, also change. Obser-
vations taken during year and
impressed on the mind will make q
very good time indicator of that
part of celestial space.-Mechani-

THE BEST NAN AFTER ALL.
A Rhapsody in Behalf Of the Boy Who
Loves His Mother.

What q blessing to man and
woman kind is mothers boy" He
is the boy who goes to mother with
all his little trials and troubles of
boyhood, and as years come to him
he does not grow too worldly to
take to her the same troubles, grown
in Importance with his years and
position in life. Mothers boudoir
becomes to him a place of refuge
when all the outer world seems
crossways and twisted, and in that
room he finds an influence of which
he is until then unaware. 1t sheds
its rays about him, not as a faring
headlight, binding him to all other
objects, but as a mellow light in
which he sees things in their true
sense, and with eyes of justice and
wisdom. The influence of his early
boyhood fingers around him in after
years when he has taken his place
among the lawyers, politicians and
business men of the world. He is
helped upward on the ladder of
success by the firm and conscien-
tious principles which became a
part of his being while yet he was
mothers little boy"
1t is he that guides the great ball
of social and political questions
into the sunlight of enlightenment
and civilization. Policy and public
opinion seldom swerve him, for he
sees the path of duty before him and
is guided on by the silken cord of
conscience SO strongly developed in
mothers boys" Anything about
which he would hesitate to tell his
mother is beneath him, thus the
love he has for the one who nursed
him oftimes becomes the invisible
power to stay him from deeds which
would muddy his conscience and
push him on in the course of a
tough and hardened man.
In" mothers boy" is always found
touch Of soul refinement, some
thing which lies beyond the outward
show and may be described as a
love for all that is true, beautiful
and good. No matter how old and
hardened man may grow in con.
tact with the busy world there is still
trace of "mother's boy" in him
and his heart will vibrate with the
vigor of ofyouth when the silvery hairs
or hands which smoothed the rug.

to mind.
1t is no disgrace to be called 8
mothers boy" Abraham Lincoln
was one. So was Garfield, and when
the news of his election reached
him his first act and thought was
to carry the glad tidings to little
mother who waited at home ready
to share either joys or disappoint-
ment with her boy.
It is said that no boy is wholly
bad who still loves his mother, and
it may be added that no girl will
be wholly unhappy who trusts he'
future to the man who carries his
mothers picture in his inside
pocket.-Chicago Tribune.

An Effort to Speak.

Dogs in a native or wild state
never bark; they simply whine,
howl and growl; the noise which
we call barking is found only among
those that are domesticated. Col
umbus found that to be the case
with the dogs he first brought to
America and left at large, for on his
return he tells us that they had lost
their propensity to bark. Scientific
men say that barking is really an
effort on the part of the dog to speak

No Timepieces in Liberia.

Explorer Buttikoffer says that q
clock is rarely seen in the farm
houses of Liberia, and many OF the
town residents have no timepieces
of any sort. He adds that there are
few civilized countries where time
pieces can be dispensed with so con-
veniently. The sun rises at 6 A. n.
and sets at 6 M. almost to the
minute the year round, and at noon
it is vertically overhead. Many OF

Sun-Browned Westerners.

The people of the West are darker
than those Of the East. 1t is easy
to see that. They live more in the
open air. They are Drowned by the
sun and roughened by the winds of
the prairies. This is as true of the
women as of the men. West of the
Mississippi you see very few fat
men. Even middle-weight men are
rare. The rule is, tall, dark, dark
haired, brown or black beard, thin.
What is it that makes so many men
of the prairie West shoot up more
than six feet in the air and yet keep
their weight down to 100 to 1855
pounds l could not discern. But
any one who travels much in that
region must have noticed the re-
markable stature of the men as a
whole. Of course the average OF
humanity in the West is more un-
couth than in the East. In the hotels
and dining-cars you see more men,
and women, too, eating with their
knives or with napkins tucked
under their chins. West of Chicago
you will hear three times as many
men sucking soup out of their
spoons as east of that point. But in
kindliness, true, sincere politeness,
absence of affectation and priggish-
ness, the Westerners beat us every
time. If you 60 out from the East

1.-THE most utterly miserable man in the
state of Minnesota is McHale the anti-tights
champion. He thought for time he was
one of the greatest men in the United States.
Up to the time the Senate passed his bill he
had been lett comparatively free Of criti-
cism. He was rudely awakened the next
morning to find that the world had turned
against him in one night.
Then came the guying. He would start
for a drive, and find that some solicitous
friend had encased the legs Of the animal in
old trousers. Did he 60 into restaurant
or hotel dining room, some wag would see
TO it that the bill Of fare would read frogs
limbs instead Of frogs legs He would order
spring chicken, and the leg OF the fowl
would be wrapped in paper. Even the girls
would giggle when they met him, aud with
expressive glances look down at their
dress Is see it was not disarranged. Then
the old mans mail began to increase, until
It seemed that everybody in the United

CALIFORNIA; BIG TREES.
Forest Giants That Are the Pride O
the Golden Gate.

tCreSG Giants mat Are the Pride OF
the Golden Gate.
from Goldtitoaite's Geographical Magazine.
Many Calf, rnians regard their tall trees
as the chief glory of the state. The most
celebrated Of the big tree groves, or forests.
is in Mariposa county, about twenty miles
from the Yosemite Valley, thirty miles
southeast Of the town Of Mariposa, and $40
miles almost due east of Sen Francisco.
This grove is composed OF over 400 giant
trees, the largest of which are 80 feet in
diameter, and 800 feet high.
The grove covers space Of a half mile
wide by three-quarters of a mile long.
Botanists call the MANN 9TH tree the seo,sota
gtgdnteG. 1t is found only in California,
on the western slope of tho Sierra Nevadas,
between ATTITUDES 34' and Ale. 1t is a cone
bearing evergreen, and received its botanic
tiJle from Endlicher. the German bOtanist.
1t grows to the hight of about $500 feet
above the sea level. The first specimens dis
covered were a cluster of ninety-two, cover
ing space of fifty acres in Calaveras
county. When the Californians first an
nounced the discovery of the trees, the
world was inclined to doubt their existence.
There are seven big tree groyes-three in
Mariposa, containing 1874 trees, over - feet
in diameter, and 300 smaller trees: one in
Tuolumne county, one IN Cslaveras county,
and two in Tulare county. In every grove
there are giant cloud sweepers from 275 to
376 feet high. and from % to 81 feet in
diameter. Some of the largest that have
been felled show, by their rings, an antiquity
Of from 1900 to $500 years. The Calaveras
grove attracts more visitors than the others,
because it is more accessible. There are ten
trees in this grove 80 feet in diameter One
of the trees. which is down, is estimated to
have been $50 feet high and 40 feet in
diameter. 1t was the hoary monarch Of the
grove and died of old age, say $500 years.
A hollow trunk called the Horseback
Ride" seventy-five feet long, gets It's name
from the fact that a man may ride through
it upright on horseback. Just after the
discovery Of the grove one of the largest of
the trees, ninety~two feet in circumference,
was cut down. Five men worked twenty
two days in cutting through it with large
sugers. On the stump, which was planed
off nearly to the Smoothness of a ballroom
floor, there have been dancing parties and
theatrical performances. For little time
a newspaper called the Big Tree Bulletin
was printed there.
One tree in the Tulare grove, according
to measurements by members Of the State
Geographical Survey. is 276 feet high, 106
feet in circumference at the base, and
seventy>six feet at point twelve feet above

our farm house two miles to the school
house, which was about three miles from
Athens.
My sister and l used to walk to the
school house together and we're always met
in the road by soldiers returning to their
homes. worn out and ragged. We always
made friends with them, for in those days
familiarity was the rule.

when we met great army wag loaded

moving rapidly, but seemed as though they
were heavily burdened.
