: The New England Boys Holiday.

Thanksgiving day itself was a heavy
ago; the hilarity of it being so subdued
by going to meeting and the universal
wearing of the Sunday clothes that the
boy couldn't see it, But if he felt little
eXhilaration he ate great deal The
next day was the real holiday, Then
were the merryInaking parties and per
haps the skatings and sleigh rides. for
the freezing weather came before the
governors proclamation in many parts
of New England. The night before
Thanksgiving occurred perhaps the first
real party that the boy had ever attend
ed with live girls in it, dressed i,-
witchingly. And there he beard li.u>
philandering songs and played lnW.
sweet games of forfeits which lmt Hln
quite beside himself and kept mia was
that night till the ROSTERS crowrd N L..
end of the first chicken nap
What a new world did that party open
to mml | think it likely that he saw
there and probably did not say 10 words
to some tall, graceful girl much older
than himself, who seemed to him like
new order of being. He could see her
face just as plainly in the darkness of his
chamber He wondered if she noticed
how awkward he was and how short his
trousers legs were He blushed as he
thought of his rather i'll fitting shoes, and
determined then and there that he
wouldn't be put off with ribbon any long
er, but would have a young mans necktie.
1t was somewhat painful thinking the
party over, but it was delicious too. He
did not think probably that he would
die for that tall, handsome girl. He did
not put it exactly in that way. But he
rather resolved to live for her-which
might in the end amount to the same
thing. At least he thought that nobody
would live to speak twice disrespectfully
Of her in his presence.-Buffalo Express.

Calculating the Distance of Storm.

Although lightning and thunder occur
always simultaneously, an interval Of
shorter or longer duration is usually OBJ
served between these two phenomena
which is due to the fact that sound trav
els only at the rate of / 100 feet per sec
ond, while the passage of light is almost
instantaneous. Based upon this fact, il
is an easy matter to tell. at least approx.
imately how many miles thunder.
storm is away. A normal pulse will
beat about one stroke to the second, and
by counting the pulse beats during the
interval of the lightning and the thunder
the lapse of seconds is arrived at and
consequently the number Of feet, which
can be reduced to miles.
For example; If 30 seconds elapse be
tween the flash of the lightning and the
crash of thunder, the storm center is at
distance of $4,000 feet. or about O.
miles. An almost accurate calculation
can he made by using Il watch with a
minute dial.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Characteristic, criminals.

The measure around the skull of the
criminal taken horizontally, is always
less than that around the skull of the
upright man. and his brain is found to
he lighter, his constitution feebler, too,
and his heart is weak. But even among
calpfi themselves there are great diff
fcrenlee fals the highway robber is
natursli lngnd to be taller than the
p;ckI4t, at. nd the bones of his skeleton
are stru ger He and the murderer,
when they write at all. write a large
round hand with many fourishes. The
thief writes with effeminacy, small
hand
These people are apt to give the stu
dent surprises. He finds, for instance,
that they are not habitually cruel. Wan
ton murderers will be kind to a pet.
Where they are cruel ii is the women
who are most so, and who discover the
most shocking forms of cruelty, and al
though a few have talent they are all
wanting in the ability to use their talent
10 advantage, but most of them have
great stupidity.
They are Eighty and faithless always,
clinging long to nothing. And with it
all they are extraordinarily superstitious
The one satisfactory thing that comes
out of all this investigation is the estab-
lshment of the fact THAI education di-

when whole generation is educated
the children of that generation will be
born with less and less tendency to crime
