A curious fact for the psychologists
investigation is the premature aging Of
old women's young husbands. The
young man who marries woman
twenty years his senior, by the time he
is well in his forties looks sixty, while
the young woman who weds the same
disparity Of years keeps her youth as
long as her temperament and disposi-
ton permit. When the Baroness Bur-
dett-Coutts married her very youthful
spouse, Mr.. Bartlett, she was well pre-
served spinster Of sixty odd. Now the
gallant Mr.. Burdett-Coutts, as he Is
called, looks, it is said, fully up to that,
while the baroness, who is close upon
eighty, looks as bright and energetic as
in middle life. There is no preservation
Of health equal to a good heart and an
ample fortune, and the aged wife Of the
ambitious young American is distin-
guished for both of these possessions.
Old age can be held at bay until the
very end, as Ninon de lEnclos' career
bears witness, but the conditions must
be favorable and the years must be we'll
gilt. Poverty never kept any woman
young; yet after all perhaps there is a
good deal of justice in the averaging Of
time, and this premature aging of men
who marry thus for wealth and position
Is but the double interest fate exacts
from its debtors. Herald.

HOW Long to STAY in the water.

A thorough bath Of the entire person
should be taken at least once q week
during the year, and oftener through
warm weather or where the employment
is such as to render it necessity. But
1t is not we'll, even In sea bathing, to
drench and soak the system, as is often
done by those who are professedly in
search of health. Nor should immersion
In the water be continued for too long o
time. From five to ten minutes is sufi-
cient for children, from ten to twenty
minutes for women, depending upon
their physical vigor, and from fifteen to
thirty minutes for men--the latter being
as long as robust man should remain
In the water daily.
There is one advantage in sea bath.
ing which should not be overlooked, and
1t is that the air is always of the purest

which should not be overlooked, since for
all the purposes of life, health and

is the correlative of the purity which
comes from the bath, while both COM
bined tend to vigor, long life and happi.

Many Styles of Lam ps.

One cannot too highly estimate the
comfort and enjoyment derived from
clear, bright light. This particularly
applies to the beautiful lamps that are
now SO fashionable, and which occupy
such prominent place in the stock Of
dealers in house furnishings.
The number and variety Of lamps thus
displayed is astonishing, and the great
est ingenuity and taste is exercised in
their manufacture and decoration. They
are shown in brass, wrought iron, gold
and silver lacquered, beaten "copper"
china, silver, gold and glass, and of
every conceivable design. The number
and variety of shades is simply bewil-
dering, among which may be found
"harmonies" in yellow and symphonies"
in red.
Those made on wire frames add
great deal to the appearance of any
lamp. Red is predominant color, not
withstanding the fact that it is very try
ing to the eyes, yellow being much more
acceptable. Then there are some beau
tiful shades of pink, sea green, pea
green, lavender and pale blue. The
wire foundations are of several sizes and
shapes-round, octagon and square
and are trimmed with deep flounces, of
the real or imitation silk used in MAX
ing the shade, or of lace of harmonic
ing color.
Flat shades are of all kinds and
shapes-banners, shields, tambourines-
as well as flowers of every description,
with few leaves and buds. These are
placed at the side of lamp on the wall
and greatly enhance its appearance

Boiled Milk and Infant Mortality.


1t may be said that most of the expert
ments of psychologists tend to show that
boiled milk is more digestible than un-
cooked milk, and that, in fact, the in
fants who can digest the latter better
than the former are the exception and
not the rule. The mortality of children
brought up on the bottle has lessened
for some years past in considerable pro-
portions. This mortality, which former
ly reached the figure of 90 out of every
100, has been reduced to an average of
10 out Of every 100 In all the depart
ments In which the Roussel law has
been diligently enforced. In the De-
partment of the Eure that mortality a
few years ago was but in 100.
These happy results are plainly due in
great part to the supervision of nurses
required by the Roussel law. Never
theless it must be noted that the supe-
riority Of boiled milk has been assented
to by most physicians, and that they
more and more require the nurses whom
they superintend to feed their charges
with boiled milk. 1t may be allowable
to suppose that the use Of boiled milk is
one factor in the diminution Of mortal
ity in infants brought up on the bottle.
The only case in which there would ap-
pear reason for not boiling the milk is
when the animal which furnishes the
milk Is well known, and there can be no
doubt about its apparently perfect state
Of health.-Paris Revue Scientifque.

The friendship that exists between the

ALMOST A SEA TRAGEDY.
The Story of IA Newly Welded Pair an
Bathing Suit.

Tho Story of n Newly Welded Pair and
a Bathing Suit.
They had been welded q week and this
sweet day they were down by the sea,
where the pillows beat muscally upon the
silver sands and fall in rhythmic cadence
upon the sentient shore, changing ever, as
if it were living thing.
They had wandered away from the crowd
in the earlier morning, but as the hour ap-
preached when Neptune holds his reception
to the bathers they mingled again with
the throng and shyly tried the wetness of
the waters.
She was so blushing, so timid, and he
was so brave, so daring.
He met the waves faceto face and breast
ed them, and when she screamed as a
breaker dashed upon him, he said to her:
'Tut, tut, Mamie, it is nothing"
She leaned upon his strong right arm
and clung to him fondly, as he took her
out into the briny and boisterous surf, and
she was SO proud of him.
Strong limbed and 1.-THE and lissom, he
was picture even in his bathing suit and
we'll might Mamie feel that George was

Once more they essayed the billowy
depths, and George had made mighty eff
his fair bride from standing on their heads
before a thousand eyes upon thS beach.
She screamed in merry glee, but when
George came up clutching at himself aud
growing deadly pale she screamed in wild
alright
"Oh, George! Georgel she cried.
"Sh-sh-," he hissed through the seeth-
ing salt water.
She would have screamed for help, but
he caught her.
'Keep still, keep STILL" he whispered
hoarsely as a great wave engulfed them
and she kept still.
"What is it? oh, George, what is it?"
she moaned as he dragged himself along
on the bottom with only his head visible
He steadied himself as he best could and
looked at her dreamily for a moment.
Mamie" he murmured, ''do you love
me?"
"Oh George" she cried, "more than life
itself" but she did not touch him, for she
was fearful
"Well, dear, if you do" he said, skip
across the beach and bring a closed car
riage here. Pve ripped my bathing suit
up the back and if l move six inches I'll
