Danish Ladies'.

They are, Of course, as heterogeneous,
seducing, disappointing and adorable
as the ladies elsewhere. l scarcely
know If they form a national type Of
very clear individuality. The most
winsome of them are English in their
ways up to a certain point. though
they have not the elasticity of move
ment that an athletic training gives to
our girls. Their features appeal to an
Englishman; he seems to see In their
clear compilations, light hair and gray
or blue eyes something more than the
glimnering of a personal relationship.
They are, moreover, or certainly seem,
delightfully."- spontaneous and fresh.
The curse of mauvaise honte knows
them not. This. too, although at heart
they are excessively sentimental, and
by culture in very many cases devo-
tees of 1bsen. One would expect such
an alliance to produce in them much
psychological distress. But l fancy
their hearts are still sounder than their
heads; they would forgive-though per-
haps with a pang-where Ibsen's iron
cOnscienced heroine would exclaim to
her husband of about two years.

Fresh Air for Babies.

A sweet young mother said to me
ono ''From the time my children are
Il few weeks old they live in the open
air. Nothing but driving rain ever
keeps them in"
When l saw the rosy boys and girls
around her, says a writer in the la
dies World, and thought Of the many
pale-facel babies l knew whose too
busy and careful mothers keep them
shut up in furnace-heated houses from
fail until spring, l thought her very
wise. AS Il rule, our little ones are
far too carefully housed. In the sunny
climate of California, where doors and
windows are always open, and where
end to years end, the diseases of chill
dren are unknown. Measles, scarlet
fever, diphtheria. humps, whooping
cough and that dread enemy to our
babies, Group, are seldom mentioned
in that land Of roses and eternal sum
shine. With the exception Of the two
weeks of showery weather called the
winter or rainy season, there Is not a
day in which a baby could not be out
i'll that balmy air.
There is no greater preventive of
Group or Of heavy colds than to give Il
baby, if only ten minutes, Il total
change of temperature. Like dollhouse
flowers. if kept too long in the house,
they will become too delicate to endure
any other temperature.
The health of her child should he to
every true mother the most important
consideration of her life. No self-sac-
ritice is too great, no work too arlu-
to secure that greatest of blessings.
The world would not be filled with so
many nervous men and women today
if womcn We're more carefully trained
in matters of hygiene. And right here,
l cannot forbear speaking q word
against the soft, dazzling white rugs
Which look so pretty and luxurious in
carriage. An eminent occulist
declared that these fur rugs cause
many diseases of the eyes. The poor
little one, blinking and fretting in its
dainty wrappings. cannot sneak and
tell the cause of it's misery, put if we
put ourselves literally in it's place for
Il few moments only. we would not
find it hard to discover.

BLOWS HIS FOOD THROUGH A TUBE
John Goetsch Eats Uniquely With
Little Inconvenience.

OA ~oSA0SA O1uAYlVty WIN
Little Inconvenience.
Local physicians reckon it a sight
worth going some distance to observe
John Goetsch eat his dinner. Goetsch
is q patient in st. Joseph's hospital
and he has q way of his own of eat
ing which Is not less remarkable than
unique. Goetsch, in fact, has by the
aid Of the skill of the surgeons who
wait upon him, established an artiti-
cial connection between his mouth and
his stomach, and all tile food he mas
ticates reaches its proper destination
without the necessity Of swallowing it
as ordinary mortais lave to do.
Goetsca's trouble is with the lower
portion CT hfs a~esophasus, which has
grown tightly shut anti absolutely re-
fuses to perform the duties of an or
binary aescphagus. When brought to
st. JOseph's hospital Goetsch had
spent eleven days without food or
drink and was. ready to give up the
ghost. This was several months ago.
At this point the doctors came to
Goe,sch's aid and, laying him out on
Il table. they cut a hole in his stomach,
feeding him bp ean Of a funnel un-
til they finally succeeded in inserting
a permanent tube in the coat of the
stomach. This operation having been
successfully accomplished the crown.
ing act was completed by attaching a
rubber tube to the end Of the stomach
attachment and inserting at the con
ncction q little button OF peculiar ar
rangement. Supplied with this Goetsch
sits dcwn at table and enjoys his
meals like other mortals but without
being compelled to swallow a morsel
of food.
The physicians came to the conclu-
sion when making the attachment,
since so successfully used by their pa
tie.tt. that as he had good lungs these
could be used just as we'll as the aeso-
phagus, which has all along refused
to work. He was thereupon instructed
in the art Of placing his food. After
looking over the bill Of fare and de-
termining what would tickle his palate
the patient was allowed to masticate
the article and enjoy it's flavor. The
rubber tube was then inserted in his
mouth and he was told to blow. The
doctors button at the far end of the
tube, yielding to the pressure, allowed
tho food to pass unObstructed, and,
s%traightway closing back into place.
retained tue contents Of the stomach.
Thus it has come about that by con-
slant blowing at a rubber pipe Goetsch
has grown sleek and fat. The attend
ing physicians predict for him a long
and pleasant life. When not in use
the tube is tucked under the mans
vest. and if it We're not for this the
man would, to all appearances, be no
different from other people.-Omaha

If any reader Of these lines has a
haunted house in his possession l wish
he would place 1t at my disposal for
n night. l should like very much to
see a real ghost, and yet I am not sur
but ! have e e one although there
are two links missing in the chain of
evidence which render absolute GER
tainty possible. 1t is a curious thing
that in this Investigating age Of the
world the actual existence of ghosts Is
still a matter Of doubt; and still more
curious Is the fact that ghosts, whether
they exist Or not, exert an influence on
the property market of the most ma
tcrialistic and hardest headed city in
the world. The other week q house
was put up ut auction in London and
did not receive u bid merely because
1t was supposed to be haunted; for
fifteen years 1t had not had a tenant,
and consequently its value in the mar
ket was nothing at all.
A short time since I was shown q
house near Denmark Hill station In
London which had been inlet for O
great number of years. 1t was a most
commonplace looking building, and
the repairers were doing 1t up in the
hope that perhaps it might be let, but
up to date this hope has not been re-
allied. The friend who vas with me,
and who pointed out the house, said it
could scarcely be called haunted, for
no ghost was ever seen there, but the
water in the ewers and water bottles
turned to blood during the night. and
when 4 man went to wash himself in
the morning he was naturally taken
aback by this startling transformation.
l confess that this incident, deepening
every night, might induce the most ul-
romantic stock broker In the city to
desert the house when quarter day
came around. A mar must be a good
deal of Il lingo who is content to wash
and battle in blood.
Investigation in this realm of the
unreal. is apt to be somewhat unsatis-
factory. l have for months read
Stead's "Spook" magazine in the hope
of coming upon something tangible, if
there is anything tangible in the world
Of spirits, but Mr.. Stead's ghosts al
ways strike me as being a trit1e too
thin.
About a year ago Conan Doyle spent
a night in a haunted house. I believe
he has never written his experience,
and 1 now throw out the hint to some
enterprising magazine editor, for if
Mr.. Doyle can be induced to write
upon this subject, the article will GER
tainly be interesting. The ghostly
manifestations were in the haunted
house all right enough, but although
Mr.. Doyle did not succeed in tracing
them to their source, l understand he
is still skeptical as to their spiritual
origin.
