The Chicago scientists who are
testing by machinery public school
children's brain power and physique
have made partial report, in which
they say that The brighter pupils are
the larger and stronger ones, and that
the dull children are generally small
for their age and physically weaker.
The tests showed that up tn the age
of ten boys and girls increase in
strength equally, but after that the
boys gain more rapidly
"That leads to the question:" said
DR.. Christopher, "wh?ther after that
age the sexes should not be separated,
as the girls do not gain il strength so
as to be able to perform the same
tasks as tho boys"
Comparison of the height of children
of eleven showed that those in the
higher grades were several inches
taller than those of equal age in lower
grades, and the same was true of
weight aud endurance. From this DR..
Christopher and Principal Andrews
deluce that their is relationship be-
tween physical and mental capacity,
and they think, therefore, that the Q
should lie physical test not only for
admission to the schools, but for each
grade.

There is nothing SO pitiful in the
way of mourning garments rs the half
way mourning, pieced ont of odds
and ends, because the feeling of grief
is SO real that there must be some ont
ward and visible sign of it. The
fashionably made mourning may be
the symbol of real grief, but it may
be only a fashionable expression of
death within certain family bounds

of good form. There was little

going to one of the beaches the other
day. There was the mother and sew
eral children. Evidently it was the
father who had been taken. The mother
was in black and SO were the boys,
but the Oldest little girl wore sum-
mer gown with bright blue collar,
while on her head was shade hat
and around the crown Il big piece of
black crepe.
1t was incongruous rs a matter
of dress, but rs showing real
sorrow for real loss it was touching.
Black is expensive, the little girl had
perhaps a black WOODEN gown, but
that was not the thing to wear to play
in the sand. SO there was her last
summers dress, which the mother
could not afford TO put away to be
outgrown, and the child wore it, but
on her hat was the big fold of crepe.
She might he obliged to wear the
bright-colored frock as matter of
economy, but that big piece of crepe
was solace to the mother, her hon.
age to the dead, even if the child did
forget in her play. New York Times.

hard days which followed for Jean

five children, and did the little field

Some of anecdotes told of Queen
Wilhelmina, the young queen of the
Netherlands, are interesting. One
day the little queen was busily occu-
pied in bringing up her dolls in the
way they should go. One OF them,
however, was particularly obstinate,
and the queen was seen to shake it
violently, and say, "Look here, if you
lon't behave yourself I'll make you
a queen, and then you'll have no one
to play with" When oa visit to

Dentist Tells by Signs.

A peculiA; actual or imagined COR
respondence has been developed be-
tween physical acts and mental atti-
tudes. The elocutionist declares that
the sledgehammer gesture indicates
emphasis and the hands opened with
an outward spread Of the arms candor.
The student OF handwriting assures
you that the up curl at the end of a
word indicates q hopeful mood and
the droop respondent one; that il
the handwriting begins boldly and
ends in smaller characters o weak will
is indicated, and vice veraa. Curly
hair is supposed to imply o quick
temper, and the dentists will tell you
that the teeth of the curly haired man
pull hard.
II can tell as far as I see q man, "
one OF them remarked, whether
his teeth will be difficult to pull. If
he has bull neck and curly hair, you
will need your strongest forceps.
Somehow the roots curl themselves
up IN the bony tissue Of the jaw in as
much of q tangle as the hair itself. -
