Little Ruth,s Question.

Palm Beach, Florida, is virtually
owned by Mr.. Flagier, of the Standard
Oil company. When improvements are
in progress, it may be assumed that
Mr. Flagler is behind them. Little Ruth
is not yet three years old. but she is
native of Palm Beach and understands
its ways. One day she went to the
beach with the expectation of being
allowed to go in bathing. but the tide
was in and the waves very high. Her
mother said that they must wait. The
child was very much disappointed.
Mamma" she said, her lips beginning
to tremble. when will Mr.. Flagler let
the waves go down ?"-Detroit Free

KNOWLEDGE ENOUGH.



Notwithstanding her nose turned up, there
were specs on II, and she was from Boston,
which may be considered to be competent
testimony that heredity isn't everything.
She was visiting IN Brooklyn before the hot
spell and the first young man she met was
one who prides himself on his intelIeetuals.
Whether anyone else does or not is another
story. As it happened, the young man had
an opportunity shortly after the meeting
to talk with the young woman alone, and he
did not fail to throw few brains at her.
"Ah, Miss Sophia" he said, with soulful
yearn In his gentle voice, II presume you at
tend several of the numerous schools of phil
osophy In which Boston is 50 rich and Brook
Ign Is so poor?"
ST am sorry," she hesitated, "but really,
Mr.. Blank, do not attend any"
Indeed, and do you feel no interest in
any of the concepts of modern philosophic
thought"
None whatever, fear" and she really
seemed to be sorry to have been so careless
of her golden, glorious opportunities.
And does not the subjective idealism of
existence in delightful Boston profoundly
affect the reality of your Ego?
SO far 1 have not observed that it did,
she said, alphabetically.
How can it be possible?" he exclaimed.
The sphere of your knowledge must be far
wider than it is with u.s."
No" she answered, measuring her words
carefully. I should say it was not. Don t
you know as long as we Bostonians know
beans when the bags open we don't worry
overmuch about the rest of it. Why should
We! Isn't that enough for US to know"

THE APPARENT REASON.
slant Wearing of the
HaIos.

Dotty sat On a stool beside her mother
looking at the pictures in an old church
book. There were angels and cherubim
and harplsts galore, and in them the child
found much to interest her. The last pic
ture in the book was of dozen or more
angels floating on the clouds. Above the
head of each shone the symbolic halo. Those
halos bothered Dotty. She had never seen
such head dress and she was perplexed.
After minutes thought she held the book
up to her mother and said: "See, mamma,
the ladies what's got wings and funny things
on their heads"
The mother looked. ''Those are angels,
dear" she said.
And what's the funny rings on their
heads, mammal the child asked
''Those are halos, Dotty."
Does they wear them always, mamma?
Does all angels wear them?"
Eyes, Dotty. All angels wear them and
they wear them all the time"

Removing Tattoo Marks.

The only known method of obliterat
.ng tattoo marks is to take away with
them the skin in which they are en-
bedded. The usual method for accom-
plishing this is the application of
an electric current, or the use of
caustics. When the true skin has been
destroyed it becomes a foreign body,
and if the destruction of the tissue has
gone deep enough the other foreign
body. the tattoo, is cast off with it. An
attempt has been made to mitigate the
pain of this heroic process by using
pepsin and papain for the removal of
the cuticle. A glycerole of either is
tattooed into the skin over the disfig-
ured part, and it is said that the
method is very successful. The opera
ton, however, is risky, from the pos
sibility of suppuration and soaring,
and should only be attempted by sur
geon skilled in derma biological prac-
tice. An amateur might not only cause
the patient suffering, but add another
Disagreement to the tattooing.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Stories about absent-minded profes-

are always in order, and probably the
worst case on record comes from a uni

claimed:

the friend.

the lost watch out of his pocket, looked
carefully at the dial, counted the min

DROWNING LEFT TO PERISH.
An Old Superstition That Warned
SimpIe-Minded People Not
to Save Them.

A strange antipathy once prevailed
to rescuing a drowning man, the idea
being that the person saved would.
sooner or later, do some sort of in
jury to the man who preserved his life.
Sir Walter Scott, in the Pirate, tells
how Bruce, the peddler, refused to help
Morlaunt save the shipwrecked sailor
from drowning, and even remonstrat-
ed with him on the rashness of such a
deed.
Are you mad said the peddler.
"you that have lived sac lang in Zet-
land. to risk the saving of drowning
man? Wot We not. if We bring him to
life again he will be sure to do you
some injury?"
This prejudice, which was deeply
rooted among our seagoing COM
munity ir many parts of the country,
existed not very long ago in Cornwall.
1t is found, too, among French sailors
and the boatman of the Danube, and is
widely credited in Russia.
Mr.. Barry, in his Ivan at Home"
gives a striking instance of the Rus
sian repugnance to saving life from
drowning.
One day a drunken man walked into
the water and disappeared. a number
of spectators stood by and gazed On
the scene with the utmost indiffer-
ence, but no one tried to rescue him.
A court of inquiry was held, but as on
examination no cross was found on his
neck a verdict was quickly agreed
upon by the villagers. who declared
that the man was drowned because
he had no cross upon his neck"
The Bohemian fisherman shrinks
from snatching a drowning man from
the waters, fearing that the water
demon would take away his luck in
fishing, and drown him at the first op-
portunity. This is a lingering sur
vival of the ancient significance of this
superstition, the explanation being
that th:. water spirit is naturally an
CRY at being despoile6 of its victim,
and henceforth bears a special grudge
against the unlucky person who has
dared to Illustrate him. Thus. when
some one is drowned in Germany, the
remark IS made: The river spirit
claims his yearly sacrifice" or 1.-The
nix has taken him"
Out of Europe, also. the accidental
drowning of a person is attributed to
a similar seizure, and the Siamrse
breads the Pnuk. or water spirit, that
seizes bathers and drags them under
to his dwelling. The Sioux Indians
have similar farcy, and tell how men
have been drowned by Unk-Tahe. the
water monster. For the same reason.
it appears, the Kamtchadals. far from
helping u man out of the water, would
drown MIN by force. If rescued by any
chance, 70 one would receive him into
his house, or give him food.
The Chinese reluctance to save
man from drowning arises from quite
a different belief-it being supposed
that the spirit of a person who has met
his death in this way continues to fit
along the surface of the water until it
aas caused. by drowning, the death of
a fellow creature. A Chinaman, there
fore, who attempts to rescue another
from drowning is considered to incur
the hatred of the uneasy spirit, which
is DESTROYS. even at the expense of a
mans life. to escape from its wander
ings.-Boston Globe,
