scientific person that Londoners drink in

thousand tors of mud would mean perhaps
about half pound of mud to each person.

sumo that each half pound of mud does
not contain more than two ounces of solid
matter, probably much less.
Now, 1t is certain that in the course of
three or four windy days in March each
person in the air all day will draw in fully
an ounce of dust, as much as he will swal-
low in water during six months. A rail

THE HAGEY INSTITUTE
THE SOCIAL CLUB A FEATURE OF
THE ENTERPRISE.
New Patients Constantly Taking the
Treatment-Boon to Men Who Drink
Happy and Prosperous Graduates.

| 1t has been some weeks now since
the Hagey Social vlub was formed and
and the good influence which it has
had on the men about town is well
known to nearly everyone.
There is not an evening in the week
throughout the entire month but what
a bevy of men could be found gathered
at the club rooms. Some are engaged
in playing cards, some are playing bill
lizards, while others are grouped about
in the reading room. Then again,
there are many who like to gather on
the lanai and chat with friends. Any
of these amusements prove great
pleasure to those men who are
fatigued with the days work or
troubled with business cares. An even
ing passed at the club house, nestled
costly on the Arlington grounds on
Hotel street with its doors always
open to all-and mind, there are many
members who do not take the treat
ment-is a satisfactory rest for them
a thing that is very pleasing to the
management of the institute is that
patronage still continues good. From
fifteen to thirty patients are contin-
ually undergoing treatment. There are
now two patients from the United
States and one from Australia, which
proves that the institute can receive
a good patronage from the States
when that business may be sought for.
Out of the first class of patients who
received the treatment during the
month of November, the total number
of them are in good physical condi-
ton, are at work and receiving good
salaries and wages. Besides this they
are decidedly firm in their esteem and
regard for the work of the institute.
a number of applications have been
made and some acted upon for hon
orary membership by individuals who
have entered the institute, not for
treatment of any disease, but because
they are thoroughly in sympathy with
the work. Their presence and interest
in the institute is very beneficial to
the patients.
A considerable amount of interest is
manifesting itself daily throughout
the Chinese colony in the city. The

A SPASM OF SENSE.

Now, let's have short spasm OF
common sense. If people who have
been chronically sick are so soon
and so easily cured by WampoIe's
Preparation, why were they not
cured by some of the medicines they
took before? Because medicines
are like novels and songs; once in a
while a good one in tons of tons Of
poor ones. That's the reason and
its reason enough. But what is this
preparation made of that it should
do what others cannot The an
swer is simple and straight. 1t is
made from fresh Cod Liyers, the
Hypophosphites, and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry Bark,
combined in a new and scientific
way. 1t isn't lot of incongruous
ingredients shaken together, but
chemically united, so as to make one
thing Of unprecedented potency. 1t

but ignorant monkey, and so save him

a writer for the French scientific pa
per La Nature, who recently paid a
visit to lyman, tells the following story:
The artist who accompanied me,
wishing to make a sketch of lyman,
begged Mr.. Bigeard, the keeper, to
make him come out of his cage. Mr..
Bigeard consented, and | noticed when
he took out his key and unlocked the
cage door lyman watched his every
movement with intense interest. After
very graciously allowing the artist to
sketch him, lyman reentered his domi-
ellie. He had barely got in when we saw
him trying to pull off bit of the wire
network of his cage. He succeeded at
last, and, not having at hand any lock-
smith tools, with his hands and teeth
he tried to model something that re-
sembled a key. Finally with many pre-
cautions, he passed his two arms
through his cage bars and tried, in
turn, to open the lock by introducing
his bent wire in the keyhole and turn
ing it in every direction possible"

How Boys Marbles Are Made.

Marbles are manufactured from the
material which gives them their name.
At the marble quarries the refuse
stone is broken by hand into
small cubes. A bushel or more
of them is poured into a great re-
volving cylinder, which is supplied with
water from faucet. The cylinder is re-
yolved at Il high rate of speed, and the
cubes by attrition are ground down to
the tiny spheres which give such delight
to the hearts of the boys. From one
to two hours are usually required to
finish lot of marbles, and they are
afterwards sorted according to size and
painted by hand. The crockery marbles,
or 'pottcries," are nodded of the same
material, and then are glazed and
baked. The glass marbles containing
images and flowers are nodded.

This little dog tried to make amends
for his sins. But unfortunately, he did
not do it in the best way, although he
did the best he could. A story comes
from New Haven about black spaniel
that distracted feather buster from
his owners house, and while playing
with it tore out all the feathers. The
dog after being shown the featherless
handle, was given a severe whipping
with it. He then disappeared, and about
an hour afterward walked bravely into
the house with brand new duster in
his mouth. He walked up to his mis-
tress and meelfly deposited the new
brush at her feet. BY the mark on it
she saw that the dog had stolen it from
a neighboring fancy goods store.

Children in Northern Michigan,
All of our boys and girls do not have
the opportunity to go every day to a
comfortably warmed, well-hghted and
beautifully decorated schoolhouse, like
most of those in Chicago.
Away up i'll northern Michigan, where
much of the land is still uncultivated,
there stands a little low log building
in the center of a clearing, where the
huge oak and maple stumps still stand
to tell of the forest that once covered
the land. This schoolhouse has a
funny little door, hardly high enough
to admit a tall man, and two or three
small windows, the size of a single
sash. The spaces between the logs
are plastered up with moss and mud,
and the gable ends are made of boards
covered with taxpayer, which scents up
the big room inside. A long, low stove,
with a door big enough to receive d
whole cord-wood stick, stands in the
center of the room, and the stove-pipe
runs right out through the roof, with

Paris Has n Monkey Who Sleeps iJrtH
ThOusand-DOIIar Bed.

All older Paris is following the ex-
ample of the children, and goes troop
ing to the Jardin discrimination to see
the wonderful young orang-outang
lyman, who lives in luxury in a cage
which contains among other furniturs
$1,000 bed contributed by the numer-
Gus admirers of the intelligent ape.
He was born in Borneo about Ave
years ago. When he arrived at tho
Jardin late last fall he was shut up
in little cage like any other ape. But
his bright eye and intelligent actions
soon attracted the attention of his keep
er, who had him removed to a larger
cage and set about educating him.
The animal made rapid progress, and
now the young orang-outang is the
most popular parsonage in Paris,
He has been taught to sweep, DUST
draw upon slate and make his toilet
in the most elaborate fashion. He
sleeps in a bed, which he makes him
self. A little monkey brings him hia
breakfast. After breakfast he washes
his face and hands and puts on his
clothes, and is ready to receive his
guests.
He is really ashamed to appear with
out his clothes now; and if so surprised,
he deliberately turns his back upon his
visitors.
His bedroom contains a large mir
ror, a bed and closet, all finished in
white and gold. 1t has lately been no
ticed that lyman no longer sweeps his
rooms himself; he now obliges the
monkey put in the cage with him as
a companion to perform that work.
lyman is a wonder, not because he
has been able to learn how to do all his
tricks. but in that he has the power to
convey his knowledge to an impudent
