The influence of Association.

One sometimes wonders at the singular
lapses into slovenly and illiterate blum
ders conspicuous in men and women who
SHOULD know better" True, they should
and probably do know better, but in
daily practice few people rise very much
above the ordinary level of those with
whom they always converse. A city
bred girl went to live in part of the
country where provincialisms are the
current coin of daily talk. Returning a
few years later to her home. no one
would have supposed her to be the same
person, so many queer little phrases and
downright forms Of speech, inelegant
and lacking in good form, had she, very
susceptible person, picked up and adopt

She Went Fishing After All.

A pretty story is told of Z Young mar
ried couple at one of the hotels. Both
were telegraph operators, and both were
at one time stationed at keys almost
1000 miles apart, yet on the same line,
in the far west. They began talking
over the wires. The groom. mistaking
his future bride for man. was allowed
by her to believe such was the case
Some of his remarks were for male ears
only, but he always got reply. Final
ly lone hot day" Bob called up *" and
said: What do you say to trip in the
mountains trout fishing? Imagine wad-
ing through cool brooks in weather like
this"

reply, "but have no rubber boots"
"Oh, neither have |. That shouldn't
worry you. All you have to do is to roll
up your trousers and wade in"
For some reason *" did not reply,
and the friendship was broken. On his
way to the mountains Bob stopped over
at ks station. In the telegraph room
he found a pretty. blue eyed girl, about
20. Then he learned all. Two weeks
later, as she hid her face on his shoulder,
she remarked. Il didn't think you would

The AN the Year Round na.hinr Club.

The All the Year Round Bathing club
of London was up to few years ago
quite prominent institution in the eyes
of sanitary scientists, though of late
years it seems to have relapsed into a
condition of innocuous desuetude. Its
members simply pledged themselves to
bathe in the Serpentine river every morn
ing in the year. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that none but the strongest con-
stitutions are able to comply with the
rules, but sturdy body of men OF vary
ing ages for several years carried out the
obligations to the letter, and when it
was necessary they would cheerfully
break the ice before entering the river.
Medical men frequently accompanied
the batbers. and quite number of pa
pers appeared in the medical journals
setting forth the good and bad effects of
bathing every morning before a. m. in
running water.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
