ness is understood among her Intimstes
and enjoyed such may be, when It is

prank player was recently abroad. and
while walking out In Dresden one day, the

her notice. A sudden impulse seized
her TO test this cast-iron riGidity, and,
waiting till one had passed. she slipped
into his little sentry box. When he
reached il on his return. marching W it'll

out before him, crying Boo in his very
face. The solder was completely upset at
this most unexpected performance and
actually dropped his mueket and ran away.
while the young woman, having thus

walked on and demurely rejoined her
friends. The incident, 1t is said, came to
the ears of the Emperor himself, who ex-
pressed n wish to meet this extraordinary
young woman. but Miss - admitted
that her desire aid not equal his. as she
was not sure in quite what light her testing

An Odd Form Of Courtshfp.

Mr.. Mortimer Menpes, the artist, trav.
cling in the east in search of subjects, has
come upon a curious form of courfship.
Stretching one day in Burmah, he no
ticed a man a little distance off >glaring
hercely straight ahead of him at some
object he could not see from his position.
The man sat with the same fixed glare
the whole afternoon and was at 1t again
next morning. Mr.. Menpes had the GU
riosity to ask an English visitor what IL
meant. The reply was, ''Oh. he is In
lover And it was explained that this
was their method of conrtship.
The object of the mans attentive gaze
was a girl in a neighboring bazaar. When
a young man falls in love. he has to seat
himself at q certain distance from his
adored one and wait for her TO do the
rest. IL she looks in his direction nce

Casting

A question frequently asked is in re,
gard to the method of producing sleigh
bells containing iron balls larger than
the opening in the bells. Previous to
making a cast the maker of sleighbells
puts an iron ball inside a sand core, just
the shape of the inside of the bell. This
sand core, with the jinglet inside, is
placed in the mold of the outside and
the melted metal poured in. which fills
up the space between the cores and mold.
The hot metal burns the r SO that it
can be shaken out. leaving the ball with
in the shell. Ball valves, swivel joints
and many other articles are cast in the
same manner.-Detroit Free Press.

The MONKEYS Thumb,

Here is o little bit Of natural history
which must be remembered about mon
keys. All the monkeys of the old world
have some kind of a thumb. As Mr.. st.
George Mivart, a great zoologist writes,
amy old world monkey with a ruii-
mentary thumb (that is, q thumb even
If imperfect) is superior in that respect
to an American monkey" In fact the
American monkey has no thumb at all.
Nature compensates in a measure for
this defect in u new world monkey by
giving him a wonderful tail. This Amer
lean monkey tail is prehensile. 1t an
swers almost the purpose of a fifth
limb. A South American monkey gives
his tail a single hitch around the limb of
a tree, and there he hangs quite COM
fortably, independent OF hands or feet,

To get the best possibilities for beauty
put of training we must have all round
influences for good. Among these |
would place first military training for
youths. / say military rather than
gymnastic or turn verein exercise, be-
cause sound drill includes something of
these and adds the moral influence of
discipline.
In my opiniM it would be for the
benefit Of the country, the family and
the individual if every mothers son
were obliged to pass a certain amount
of military service before he could vote.
The military training is the only n
nowadays which teaches men to obey
and gives them any notion of the value
of obedience. No training makes men
SO effective for every day use or leaves
them so alert. prompt and full of re-
source. The adoption of military edu-
cation in earnest would lead to the ad-
justment of serious questions. physical
and national.
The merely useless mechanical part of
drill which is mainly for parade pur-
poses would have to be dropped, and
useless schooling would have to be
thrown out.
A child taught to obey in the first
place and efficiently guided in study can
master the courses of our schools in half
the time now spent. This by the way
The great point about military training
is that it enforces exercise for a prr
pose, not merely for the sake of exercise

from that on he expected the consider

act to proceed from hour to hour. He
added, significantly, that he had an idea
OF the will of the majority being carried
out. The separate bill was, at Mr..

on it.
