Cooling Water in Nicaragua.

THAT reminds me-" said a railroad
man, who had been a listener. "of the
primitive method of cooling water in
vogue in Mexico and Central America.
The principle is perfectly simple, but
there is a certain knack about the thing
that | have never known a white man to
fully acquire.
when a native in one of the broiling
hot little villages of interior Nicaragua
wants to cool some water, she fills half
gallon earthenware jar about two-thirds
full. Parenthetically 1 say She be-
cause this is task that requires more
energy than any male Nicaraguan was
ever known to possess. The jar is made
of baked clay, and, not being glazed. is
partially porous and soon becomes moist
on the outside. Two leather straps are
firmly attached to the neck, and, Selling
these in her hands, she begins to rotate
the jar swiftly in the air. The mouth is
wide open, but centrifugal action keeps
the liquid from flying out. The average
native woman is frail and listless in APP
pearance, but the endurance which they
| exhibit at this sort of calsthenicS is
marvellous. 1t is about the same as
swinging Indian clubs, and L am afraid

operation languidly. When the woman
thinks the water is sufficiently cool, she

Slippery English.

Scribner's Magazine for May goes to
considerable trouble to prove that the
rules of grammar should not be accepted
as the shibboleth of intellect. Passing
over the numerous instances of bad con-
struction charged against such respect
able ancients as Marlowe, Beaumont and
Fletcher, Shakespeare, Sterne, Fielding.
Ben Jonson, and even that ..other mons
ter of exactitude, Dr. Johnson, the writ
er gives examples of execrable grammar
in the works of Thackeray, Scott, Lyt-
ton, Du Maurier and Hardy.
AS rebuke to those who constantly
watch for bad specimens of what is some
times alluded to sarcastically in the mag
aZines as newspaper" or reporters ;
English, it may not be amiss to quote a
few choice bits from famous writers VINO
had ample opportunity to correct in proof
their first and second mistakes.
A sentence saying that everybody
went away having pretensions to polite
ness, and with them would hardly pass
muster in the editorial rooms of a we'll
managed newspaper, and yet Thackeray
used those words in Vanity Fair" This
master of English diction' could write
not only very bad but very bungling and
unintelligible English at times, as, for
instance, in The Newcomes,'' when he
tells his bewildered readers that Miss
Cam, who was from oayhams, having
is dead, and who now makes such live
! lihood as she can best raise by going out
as a daily teacher
| Du Maurier wrote in tTrilby'' that his
| heroine appeared in slippers without
/ heels but which her feet had ennobled"
which was rather a remarkable perform
ance, as the heels We're missing. Bulwer
| Lytton told how scarcely had she gone
than Clodius and several of his gay COM
! panions broke in But Hardy in his
"Madding Crowd" surpassed both when
he wrote of the groups of religious men
still occupied in doing all they could to
keep down the contemplation which was
not much
| These are only few of the many in
stances in which the best literary crafts
men of the nineteenth century fell into
error, but they are sufficient to prove the
mother tongue so slippery that it requires
vigilant watching, not only in the hurry
burly of newspaper offices, but also in
the quiet of the bookman's study.

David Christie Murray, the well-known
author, told in print some time ago the
story of the hardships of his first year in
London. After carrying ABOUT his manu-
scripts in vain from one publishing house

and homeless. He slept upon the Thames
embankment for two nights. For two
favs he had not eaten food.

HOW MANY MILES DOES1A WOMAN % -
WALK IN DOING ONE DAYS WORK?

Just how many steps a housewife takes
a day has long been an interesting ques
ton. 1t has never before been answered
The New York State Household Eco
nomic Association discussed it at its re-
cent conference. The only conclusion ar
rived at was that the mileage involved
was something stupendous.
The idea of collecting information on
the subject for use as a basis of reform
originated at the farm reading course of
the College of Agriculture. The faculty
deemed it of sufficient Importance to send
Miss Martha Van Rensselaer, to Cornell
to collect statistics bearing along that
line.
The underlying motive in collecting
/ these statistics is educational. They are

amount of work done by wife and moth

to teach women how one step can be made

Meanwhile the New York Sunday World
has solved the problem in the most prac-
teal way. At it's request Mrs. Jesse VIII
lianls of lS5 East one Hundred and Sew
entcenth street has worn a pedometer
! for one day.
I Mrs Williams is the originator of the
School of Matrimony,' is the author of a
recent series of articles on housekeeping
! in the Sunday World, and is a high au-
/ thCrity upon the subject.
During the day she went about her
hcUsework as usual. The routine was In
no way varied. She arose at a. m. and
I retired at p. m. She lives in a small,
/ fVe-room fiat. She has only one child, a
! baby ten months old. Her life is that OF
4 the average housekeeper. She. does all
/ her own work and attends to her baby
( She keeps her house neat, but avoids un
necessary labor. The pedometer shows
/ that in the performance of her daily du-
ties she walked seven and two-fifth miles

She has studied the art of economizine

dometer if woman's work is never done
it Is not her fault She walks almos

At this rate she has a wonderful rec

OF housekeeping, for even if she never
