From the Kansas City Star


A baggage man on the Santa Fe who rms
into Kansas City from out in the western
part OF Kansas has lost lots of sleep II ia
doubtful If he ever can catch up with 1t.
He leaves Hutchinson at night and reaches
Kansas City in the morning Nearly every
night he brings in his car two or three
coops Of live domestic ducks During the
night. when he has no baggage to deliver at
small stations 1t has been his habit and
privilege to lie down on an improvised couch
and doze. With the advent of the ducks
the doing stopped. The constant quacking
Of the ducks, who could not understan nd
their strange environment would not per-
init Of sleep. -
For many nights as he lay awake he
planned relief. He thought of straneling
the ducks or chloroforming them. But
neither expedieHt seemed good One night
bright idea came to him. After he
had put it into execution the ducks were
silent. r
The next night he had two coops of nm
usually vociferot1s ducks. AS soon az #
came time to sleep he :wrenched a slat from
one Of the coops,, reached in and pulled out
duck. From his pocket he took small
rubber band. which he slipped over the
ducks bill Just aback of the nostrils. The
duck tried to quack, but the rubber hand
while 1t stretched little, would NOT nermit
the duck to open its bill far enough to use
Its tongue. Only rnurmur came from it.
One by one the ducks were muzzled. and
the baggage man rested comfortably
The commission men were surprised next
morning when they received a lot of ducks
with rubber bands around their hiIIs apd
when the bands were removed the shouts ~
protest from the ducks were deafening

Our Dual NervOas System.

Cross-education is the name given by
Prof Scripture Of Yale to the results upon
the organs Of the opposite side Of the body
from exercise of limb or organ. The sim
plest instance is that gain Of 70 per cent
In strength Of the right hand from exercis-
ing it alone secures gain Of so per cent
in the unexercised left hand The law holds
not only as regards strength. but also In
other qualities. The fact helps to explain
why in rtght-handed people, for instance,
the left retains so much strength and ex-
pertness. The question also arises If other
organs than corresponding ones may not
be Influenced, for example, the left foot by
means of exercise Of the right hand. (Why
are right-handed soldiers required to step
off with the left foot first?) Finally the de-
veiopment in the defective classes Of mem
tai and moral characteristics by systama-
tized physical instruction which teaches
order, rhythm, accuracy and judgment is
explained and put upon rational basis
The claims of the manual training edvo-
Gates are justified and made clear. The ex-
periments at the Elmira reformatory thus
elicit the greatest interest. How far it NAV
be possible to educate into something like
normality the weak-minded, criminally in
clined. and even the idiotic, becomes an
important study. Prof Scripture calls this
the principle Of character building by
motor activity

Value of the Foot Bath

From the Ledger Monthly.
To break up a cold, which certainly dis
ngUres the face OF beauty, as well as a
valuable adjunct in the removal of facial
eruptions. the nightly foot bath is invalu-
able. The largest sweat glands of the body
are located in the palms. armpits and soles
OF the feet. II is of primary Importance
that these multitudinous outlets should be
unciogged. Where facial eruption exists
and the whole attention is devoted toward
the care Of the face, every pore is active
and open to afford the escape of clogginr
impurities. This is all wrong The feet
should be made the gateway for the es-
cape of effete deposits The Temperature
OF the foot bath should range from one
hundred and five to one hundred and ten
degrees, or as hot can be endured with
comfort. Should there exist chronic pro-
fuse and offensive perspiration, add a lump
OF washing soda TO neutralize the acid ex-
udation. The feet should be rubbed briskly
to draw the blood down to the extremi-
ties. Cool the water before withdrawing
the feet. SO that they may not become un-
duly tender. Rub long and thoroughly with
soft towel. Good pedal circulation is a
foe to corns and chilblains. Frequent
warm footbaths prevent cailouses and
make walking pleasure. For beauty and
complexion, take extraordinary care Of the
feet - -

From Casters Magazine.

In view OF our apparently extensive
knowledge Of the nature of iron and steel
1t may seem strange to still speak about
riddles wrought in these metals. Never
theless, in everyday practice. We are con-
stantly confronted by riddles of one kind
or another when dealing with iron and
steel. particularly the latter. Why is it
that we raise the strength Of soft
staybolt iron Of. say, 1900 pounds per
square inch, to 10000 pounds per square
inch either by heat treatment or by re-
peated application Of stress? Why Is steel
coming from the rolls or hammer weaker
and less ductile than the same steel Is
after left lying a day or two, Or better
still, a week? There is no doubt that many
tons Of suitable material have been either
thrown out by the mill people themselves
were rejected by the inspectors because
It failed to meet specifications, causing
needless veXation and friction simply be-
cause neither the one nor the other of the
parties knew that steel Is in a disturbed
physical state after rolling or hammering
no matter how good the material and
should be left to rest, the longer the bet
ter. Now, what takes place in the steel
during the period Of rest? Another riddle
is that we can raise the elastic limit and
ultimate strength by successive applica-
ton of stresses very much above the orig
inal strength. What law. II 1t is a law
governs this phenomenon? Personally the
author is convinced that many errors Of
design or inherent weakness of the steel
have been modified in their probable con-
sequences, and breakdowns averted by this
peculiar property of steel to gain in
strength If allowed to rest after having
been subject to stresses within certain
limits. 1t was the knowledge Of this fact
which enabled the author to fight for steel
and defend steel for structural purposes
at time when that metal was not yet a
favorite with the engineer by any means
We are all familiar with the discovery Of
cast iron getting stronger by tumbling in
tions really are producing such effects.

The latter chatted for few minutes with General Will son over the arrangements, expressing his earnest desire to participate in them and then the party left the car. There was crowd in the depot and most of them recognized him instant ly and saluted him. A path had to be made for him through the waiting room. The party were driven first to Admiral Evans home and then to the White House, where they arrived short ly before the time the cortege was scheduled to move.
 MT Cleveland has decided not to go on to Canton but will drive with tne cortege from the White House to the capitol and attend the services in the rotunda.
