Miss Procror,s youthful Critics.

Miss Mary Proctor, the astronomer
and lecturer, takes a deep interest in
social settlement work in the big
cities, and frequently gives her per.
sOnal services toward entertaining
poor children and adults. Generally
her lectures are very well received.
Many of her audiences often manifest
better attention than those drawn from
higher circles. Now and then there
are exceptions.
On one occasion a bright-eyed little
boy, who sat in the front row with his
eyes fixed upon the speaker, was asked
how he liked it.
Il guess, " he said, ct was pretty
good. but she ought TO talk about lions
and tigers. That's better for every
body"
At another lecture youngster crit
cised her as follows:
cts all very we'll to talk of weigh
ing and measuring stars. There are
some people, of course, who believe
that sort of thing, but if she can foo
us boys with such fairy tales shes
very much mistaken. "-PhiladelphiG

CHARACTER READING.
How an Observing Person May Tell some
thing OF us NeiEhbor,s DIspositIon.

How an Observing Person Nav Tell Some
thing OF HIS Neighbours Disposition.
If all the signs that are talked of and
published whereby character may be
read and studied should be mastered,
nearly every one would become an
adept in discerning that which is APP.
parently hidden in human nature.
One of the singular things given as
means of Judging character is the
manner OF ringing a. door 1t is
said that person will pull every bell
In nearly uniform way, which will
not tell the color of eyes or hair, but
will speak of the quality of temper
which the puller of the bell may be
expected to show. it will tell whether
he Is phlegmatic or nervous in man
ner, whether he Is amiable or irritable
impatient and intolerant, or calm anc
reasonable. The mere ielk of the
knob gives evidence for or against il
the mind of discriminating person
The electric bell cannot tell so many
tales, 1T Is said, but when time ha,
given 1T chance to become more in
dlvidual than it now is, the touching
OF the little button will Indicate a.
many grades of disposition as the iing
ling of the bell wire now does.
Another thing that indicates charac.
ter is the gait at which person
walks. The manner in which he will
step about is also to be taken into &C.
count in passing judgment on any one.
A careless, slovenly walk will show Z
corresponding carelessness in manner
and dress. Nothing reveals the in.
clInatlon to lHziness moro certainly
than the walk.
An uneven step will as certainly
disclose a vacillatinS mind aud be
havlor to correspond. Every one
knows the trial it is to n household
when one of it's members walks with
sharp, punctuating digs of the heels
at every step. These people Away.
step quickly, so that the sound of then
walking is like n great tattoo, and acts
on nervous people with disastrous
consequences.
Those who have made study of the
subject say that men are quite as care.
less as women In their manner OF
walking. a graceful carriage and n
good walk, if dependent upon the
character, is, according TO that rule,
not to be cultivated, but must be, az
1t were, to the manner born. A heavy
tread set down by person who throws
himself well back may Indicate cxces.
slvc pride or n trihe OF Incidence, with
really good nature at heart.
The sprightly sort of people who
cannot refrain from skipping as they
walk may be set down as amiable and
bright, but are somewhat OF trial
from overbuoyancy.
A good deal has been said in novels
against the woman who moves with a
"catlike tread, " that is, without noise
Such a step is, however, considered
most desirable, and it is declared that
1t does not indicate a treacherous ma.
ture, but az often as not has beer
cultivated to prevent giving distress
to sick people or drawing undue at
tention to the owner of the feet.

There is physician in West Phila.
delphia who has son one year old,
and this baby is probably the strongest
human being for it's age and weight in
the world. It's father will hold cane
iii his two hands and the baby, grasp
ing It, will draw itself mp to its chin
three times. That is but one OF its
numerous feats of strength. Che
physician says that bis BOYS unusual
muscular development is due TO n
daily massage treatment. Every
morning he lays the little fellow,
naked, on blanket and kneads his
muscles for thirty minutes. Once 4
month he weighs the baby and meas
ures It's calves, chest, arms, etc. The
monthly increase Of weight and girth
is remarkable The baby has never
had shoes or stockings ON its feet or
n hat on it's head, aud in the summer
II wears only little sleeveless dress
that comes to its knees. II gets n
cold bath every morning.

and Horses.
In the British army the four-legged
recruits are drawn up in n ring round
Al instructor who fires pistol.
Some take the flash and report very
quietly, and these are very soon
passed on to severer trials, while tho
others have lesson after lesson until
hey are quite convinced that there is
90 danger TO them, and before long
you might fire seventy-pounder
within yard of them and they would
hardly look around. After this they
are taught to face fre-that is TO say,
to gallop fearlessly mp to line or
square of infantry, blazing away with
their rifles, and to charge batteries of
quick firing guns. OF course, only
blank cartridges are used, and so 10
trained horse going into battle for tho
first time there is no difference be-
tween the harmless thunder of
maneuvers and the death dealing
storm which sweeps over the battle
field. The poor brute only learns
what the difference really is by bitter
experience.
When smokeless powder came into
general use it was found that in mar
cases horses which would face tn,
smoke of guns using black powde:
without flinching flinched and SHE'D
at the flash and roar unaccompanied
by smoke. Continental opinion is
somewhat divided as TO the moral
effect of smokeless powder on men
and horses, but the general con-
clusion seems to be that in daylight
it is not more terrifying than black
powder, although some hold that to
see men and horses struck down By
an Invisible agency must necessarily
be SO. But it is generally agreed
that the use of smokeless powder at
night has n much more disturbing
effect than that of the old powder,
because tue flashes of the guns nm
obscured by smoke, are great deal
more vivid. The fear thus inspired
can, however, he overcome by train
ing, but there is another fear which
must, in the nature of the case, be
felt for tho first time on the battle
field, and that Is the often uncon-
trollable terror produced both i'll men
and horses by the whistling of bullets
and the screaming and banging of
shells. Some authorities have, in
deed, said that since the introduction
of smokeless powder and the great in
crease in the range and accuracy of
weapons, it would ba impossible to
keep cavalry in hand under the fire OF
modern artillery, but this is probably
an eXaggeration.

4 Startling Mexican cn,tom.

1T is n little startling to newcomers
at first 20 notice tho universal custom

high and low degree by their first

well acquainted they address eack
other by the given name, and this il
done not only by those Of the same
ago and Sex, but indiscriminately
among young men aud young women
young people aud elder persons. IL
the latter case, or between elderly
persons, n respectful prefix is used
rs "Don' Ricardo. Public charnc
terra are also commonly referred
10 by their 6rst names, even the wife
OF the President Of the Republic being
af'ectionately called Carmeucita by al.
classes In tho household tho head
OF the house is called Don Jose on
Don Manuel by tho servants. and n
son in distinction is known rs Man

1t has been asserted by many friends
OF animals, who rightly object to tho
annual torture and slaughter Of dogs,
and even by some physicians, that
there is no sulh disease AS hydropho-
bia, or rabies, as it is more correctly
called. Those who have studied tho
subject carefully, however, are certain
that there il n disease of dogs which
is communicable by one suffering from
it to other animals and TO man. But
this disease is very rare, and probably
not one person in n thousand bitten
by dogs is in any danger of it, and not
one dog killed among 800 supposed
mad dogs is really mad
The word hydrophobia is mis-
homer, for mad dog has no fear OF
water, aud will run through shallow
pool without the slightest hesitation;
the fear IS that of drinking water or
of swallowing anything, either fluid
or solid, rs the attempt is almost GER
tain to throw the sufferer, man or
beast, into spasms.
The only way of transmitting hydro
phobia is by inoculating; that is, by
the Introduction Of the virus into the
body through wound of the skin or
the mucous membrane. The most
usual way for this rare event to occur
is, OF course, through the bite of
rabid dog, cat or other animal. But
not every bite, even OF genuinely
mad dog, is followed by hydrophobia.
If the animals teeth, for instance,
have/passed through mans trouser
leg or boot, the saliva, which contains
the virus, may be wiped away from
his teeth. YOUTH Companion.
