MOTHERS WHO FEAR.
Are Sure to Make the EnvirOnme MT of
Their Children One of Dread
and Timidity.

One of the worst misfortunes which
can possibly happen to growing child
is to have a mother who is perpet-
ually tormented by nervous fears, says
Frederick Stanley Root, in Woman's
Home Companion. The doctrine of
mental suggestion, whatever may be
its extremes, is certainly true to the
extent that thoughtwaves create an
atmosphere favorable or unfavorable
TO the inmates of the household. 1t a
mother gives way to fears morbid,
minute and all-preyailing-she will in
evitably make the environment of her
children one of increasing dread and
timidity. Marshal SAKE, one of the
most distinguished commanders in his
tory, led battalions with unsurpassed
courage; but we are told that he in
continently fled at the sight of poor
puss. l should not be at all surprised
TO learn that his mother was DOM
mated by an abnormal fear of cats.
The background of fear is the habit
or instinct of anticipating the worst.
The mother who never makes a move,
or allows her children to make move,
without conjuring up myriad of
malign possibilities embitters the cup
of life with slow-acting poison.

FACTS ABOUT WATER.
Various Ways in Which the COmbina-
ton Enters Into HUI
man Life.

The extent to which water mingles
with bodies, apparently the most solid,
is very wonderful. The glittering opal,
which beauty wears as an ornament, is
only flint and water. Of every 1900
tons of earth which o landlord has in
his estate 400 are water. The snow
capped SUBMITS of Snowden and Ben
Nevis have many millions of tons of
water in a solicited form. In every
plaster of paris statue which an Ital-
ian carries through our streets for sale
there is one pound of water to four
pounds of chalk.
The air we breathe contains five
grains of water to each cubic foot of
bulk. The potatoes and turnips which
are boiled for our dinners have, in their
raw state. the one IS per cent. and the
other 80 per cent. of water. If a man
weighing ten stone were squeezed in a
hydraulic press III stone OF water
would run out and only 2h of dry
residue remain, says the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
A man is, chemically speaking, As
pounds OF carbon nitrogen, diffused
through SH pailfuls of water. In
plants we find water thus mingling no
less wonderfully. A sunfower evapo-
rates ~ pints of water day, and .
cabbage about the same quantity. A
wheat plant exhales in ITO days about
10000 grains of water. An acre Of
growing wheat, on this calculation,
draws and passes out about ten tons
of water per day.
The sap of plants is the medium
through which this mass of fluid is
conveyed. 1t forms a delicate pamD,
up which the watery particles run with
the rapidly of swift stream. By the
action of the sap various properties
may be accumulated to the growing
plant. Timber in France IS, for in
stance, dyed by various eoiors being
mixed with water and sprnkled over
the roots of the trees. Dahlias are also
coiored by similar process.

GERMAN ETIQUETTE.
The Full Official Title Must Always
Be Used in the Best
Society.

The visitor in Germany is often en-
barrassed by the superfluity of titles,
which seem to be showered indiscrim-
inately. The Germans are great stick
lers for the dignity of station, and Will
liam II. Dawson in German Life in
Town and Country shows how ac-
tions of law have been instituted be-
cause of the withholding of titles
rightfully acquired.
Mr.. A. must be spoken of as Mr..
Court Councillor, DIR. B as Mr..
Privy Councillor Prof. DR.. b. And
wives must share their husbands
privileges, and be addressed as Mrs.
Court Councillor A. and Mrs. Privy
Councillor B.
The English reverend" has no
equivalent, but the clergyman becomes
Mr.. Pastor So and So. Mr.. Brown, the
editor, is addressed as Mr.. Editor
Brown, and on the same principle we
have Mr.. Stamp Collector Jones, Mr..
Postmaster Robinson, Mr.. Road In
spector Smith, and so on.
You address lady whom you know
but slightly as Gracious lady" or
"Gracious mademoiselle," as she may
be married or single. "Obedient sery-
ant" is still gallant greeting where
the acquaintance is slight or where a
lady is saluted; and it should be re-
| membered that to salute first in public
is not the prerogative of the German
lady.
The superficial side of courtesy as
seen in letter-writing is simply al
lowed to run riot. Here is the begin
ming of an official letter which per-
son of educated rank may any day
receive, to his lasting edifcation:
"To his highly well-born Herr Doc
tor (for the doctor may be taken for
granted). The undersigned permits
himself devotedly to inform your high
ly well-born self that your honored
writing has been received, and so
forth" And the writer may in conclu-
sion assure the highly well-born re-
cipient of his "most excellent high
esteem" and subscribe himself as
''highly respectful and most obedi-
emit"
Most people insist on receiving the
exact degree of respect which they
deem to be due to their position, as the
pronouncement of Berlin jury indi-
Gates. A lady accused a tradesman of
an intended insult in that he had only
signed himself in letter 'Most hum
bly," and not Respectfully and most
humbly," and the court took the COM
plainant's view and fined the offender.

HYG1EN1c CARE OF CLOTHING.
Important Points That Should BE
Carefully Observed When Put
ting Garments Away.

Many people who pay great -atten-
ton to cleanliness from the sanitary
point of view, who lay much stress
upon the proper ventilation of their
rooms and are careful to battle often,
are yet found wanting in one most inn
portant particular-that is, the hy-
gienic care of clothing, especially outer
clothing, says Youths Companion.
Undertaking goes frequently to
the laundry and is not, therefore, the
text of these remarks. But many peo-
pie, otherwise scrupulous in their per-
sonal hygiene, will come in from q
long, hot and dusty journey, remove
a warm, perspiration-soaked dress or
coat, and hang 1T at once in close,
dark closet, or place in the same re-
ceptacle skirt that has been for
hours gathering up the filthy sweep
tngs of streets and cars. 1t is small
wonder that the average wardrobe
should give out most disagreed BILE
odor when the door has been closed
for short time.
All outer clothing, especially if of
wooden material, should be hung up
in current of fresh air to dry and cool
before being put away. Dress shields,
the Innings of women's collars and the
binding of skirts should be often re-
newed.
The trick of giving hasty brush to
the bottom of skirt in the house-too
often in the bedroom-is a dangerous
and disgusting one. Skirts, even when
they are not allowed to sweep the
pavements, cannot fail to be laden with
dust mixed with disease-causing bac-
terra, and the same is true, to less
degree, Of the bottoms of mems trous-
ers.
When skirts are allowed to trail-a
preposterous fashion, happily subsid-
ing for the present-their state at the
end of few blocks beggars the mag
ination. The unfortunates to whom
their care is intrusted should be in
structed to clean them in the open
air, and preferably upon the roof.
Some people are afflicted with nat
urally strong and disagreeable odor
of the perspiration. In some cases this
is caused by i'll health, but in many,
perhaps most, cases, it is natural to
the sufferer, and can only be overcome
in a measure by extreme care of the
person and attention to the bath.
Sponging the body, before getting into
the tub, with water containing a few
drops OF ammonia or a solution of
borax will be found useful in this con-
dition.
: Frequent change of clothing will be
necessary, and "dress shields" should
be worn by all who have this unpleas-
ant infirmity, men as well as women,
and the same suit or dress should never
be worn on two consecutive days. In
deed, for every one, for clothes and
shoes alike, the alternate day system
is both clearly and economical-one
day for wearing, one day for airing.

MOTHER OF PEARL CLOUDS.
Celestial Phenomena Observed by
the Danish Polar Expedition
Scientists


The last Danish expedition which
was sent to the polar regions to study
the aurora borealis observed the So
called mother of pearl Clouds" which
are described in the reports of the
Danish Academy of Sciences. These
clouds resemble the so-called shining
Clouds" These formations were given
their singular name by the Norwegian
meteorologist, Prof. Mohn. The Dan
ish twice had an opportunity of seeing
such celestial phenomena. Once they
succeeded in measuring the distance
of these clouds above the earth, which
was found to be about 40 kilometers,
says the London Standard.
The second time measuring was not
possible, because all the members of
the expedition were in on place, but
they were able to make some remark.
able observations about the movemen,
of the cloud. AT first it looked like
horizontal band in the southwestern
horizon at height of 80 or 35 degrees.
Then ii moved slowly toward the east.
stopped and finally returned to its
original position. During its retro
grade motion a part of the cloud was
torn off, the fragment assuming cir
cular shape, and floating alone with
rapidity of one degree in four seconds
toward the south. Having passed
through seven degrees of the frma.
ment, this small cloud was dissolved
1t is evident that these motions are
peculiar to the mother of pearl
Clouds" because another cloud which
was in the same tract of sky at the
same time remained motionless. The
color Of these forma tions at the edge
was mostly red, but toward the middle
it changed from rose color to green.
Tie clouds were visible in broad day
light about noon. An observation
through the spectroscope gave only
the lines of the common spectrum of
the sky at daylight, together with
some absorption lines, which indicate
great quantity of vapor. 1t was, per-
haps, the strong sunlight which pre-
vented the observation of any pecu-
liarities in the spectrum of these
clouds.
Their motion cannot be caused by
any wind. Prof. Poulsen, the head of
the expedition, is rather of the opinion
that the mother of pearl clouds" are
moved by other forces, partly, per-
haps, by electricity. Poulsen explains
the formation of such cloud by cur
rents of negative electricity, by virtue
of which the atmospheric vapor is con-
densed. The clouds probably move
in the direction of the electric cur
rents.
