Miss Proctor's Youthful Critics.

Miss Nary Proctor, the astronomer er
and lecturer, takes 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 bright-eyea 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, "it was pretty
good, but She ought to talk about lion:
and tigers. That's better for every
body
At another lecture yourgster crit
cised her as follows:
Its 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. ."-PEiladelphis

Could klmos! Prove il by Chemistry.

Thomas A. Edison. like other great
scientists, is believer in a divine
governing power, although popular
notion hes largely credited him with
disbelief in such things. In conver-
sation between him and one of his
intimates. says the Ladies' Home
Journal. he said recently: Too many
people have a microscopic idea Ct the

Coats to Fit H.nchhacke.

A curious illustration Of the adj
vance of the cutters art is shown
nowadays in the making Of clothes for
hunchback men. Forty years ago, as
middle-aged persons can recall, the
coat of hunchback man waS likely to
fall more or less loosely from him,
while now his coat is made to fit him,
as far as it goes, as we'll as any mans.
While the tailor oyercomes many ordi-
nary defects of man in fashioring his
clothes, he cannot Of course overcome
this one. but he can cut garments that
will make the least OF it, and will lit
the wearer with the same appearance
of trimness as that which character
ICES every garment designed with
care; and that is what he does. New

American Horses In the Philippines.

Contrary to precouceived opinions,
American horses stand the climate OF
the Philippines first rate. Captain
Wheeler's troop.oftthe Fourth Cavalry
is mounted on horses brought from
the United States. After months OF
hard service these horses are in excel
lent condition, and, strange to relate,
they have STOOL the heat and the wet
better than the native pouies. Out OF
the eighty-three horses brought with
him Captain Wheeler mas lost only
three. One died Of distemper and two
we're shot. Thus does the American
horse, like the American soldier, provo
his superiority everywhere he goes.--

CHINA GAVE US THE MASSAGE.
1t Is Contended That the Treatment
Came from the Fiowery Kingdom.

Few people while enjoying the deli
cious sensations OF the massage at the
hands OF en- expert operator are aware
that to the Chinese we probably owe
the treatment. While the question as
to whether massage originated in Swe-
den or China has been much discussed,
the latter country is evidently strong
claimant. According 10 longtime
Chinese ideas. life is entirely depend
ent on air currents which are des!g-
mated as the primary aura OF the or-
ganism; so long. then, as the body ls
permeaced by the air current 1t Is
proof against disease, and the object OF
physical exercise is 10 circulate the air
current. To effect this the Chinese sys-
tenn is divided into three periods, each
period occupying a hundred days. the
first period commencing a. the time OF
the now moon. The patient mus, rise
at o'clock in the morning and walk
outside his house, taking seven deep
inspirations, ard, Immediately after
this, two youiilv who have been spe-
cially trained commence a gentle fric-
ton all over the body, starting over the
cardiac area. at the time Of full moon
further set of inspiratory exercises
are taken. Later on. in the second pc.
riod. the various parts OF the body are
rubbed with wooden plaaks until the
muscles are handened. and it is not un-
til the hardening takes place that the
real physical exercises are taken. Be
tween the fifth and sixth month is the
period of greatest activity, the Euro
pean dumbbell being replaced by large
sacks filled with stones. II is IN the
third period that the back muscles are
chiefly exercised.

Aroung His Neck.

Ohio Trice, of Empire, broke one
of his arms in a peculiar manner
Sunday. He fractured the limb
some weeks ago while playing ball,

Sunday he was throwing a ball
when the bone in his right arm
snapped, and the limb wound
around his neck. A physician re-
duced the fracture and the young
man is getting along nicely.
