Rarded as the best in the history Of ths
magazine. A striking article, Farther
North Than Nansen," gives the FIRST
adequate account that has appeared on
this side Of the water Of the heroic dash
for the pole which has placed tIe name
ofAbruzzi at thehead Of the list OF Arctic
explorers. Everybody who remembers
Nansen's wonderful story will read with
eagerness Of this yet more marvellous
exploit. The tale is full Of the keenest
human interest, and shows what men
may attain when energy is directed by
method and courage matched with skill.
With all this, IL doubtful whether
mauy readers will not still be more ab.
sorbed In an article Of a very different
kind. For many months past an elabo-
rate series OF mental and physical ex-
periments have been made under gov.
ernmental guidance, with some 1000 yoi
the public school children in Chicago.
The result shows, apparently conclu-
siyely, that the development OF a child's
mind is the direct corollaTy OF the deycl-
opment Of It's body. On the average,
the best developed child will be the best
child mentally and morally, ~ we'll az

CARE OF LACES.

Iron lace on the right side first. then
on the wrong side to thpow up the pat
tern.
When putting lace away, fold as little
as possible. a good plan Is to wind 1t
round card, as they do in the shops.
When ironing laces. cover them with
clean. white tissue paper. This pre-
vents the shiny look seen on washed
lace.
Use corniiour instead of ordinary
starch for stiffening laces. This makes
them firm and does not detract from
the lacy appearance.
Laces and other delicate trifles should
be placed In n muslin bag before being
boiled. This prevents their getting lost
and torn In the wash
After getting up" laces do not leave
them to air in damp place-round
the fire when the kettle is boiling, for
instance. This rohs them of their fresh
ness ana makes til EN- look limp.
All laces before being ironed should
be carefully pulled out. each point re-
ceiving attention. You Will be repaid
for your trouble. as the lace will look
twice as nice and last clean a much
longer time.

Natural Waters.

All natural waters contain n greater
or less amount of mineral matter In So
luton. Rain water has the smallest
percentage of solid impurities OF any.
and therefore II Is taken as the stand
ard variety of soft water.
The terms soft and hard. however.
as applied TO water are scientifically
considered purely relative.
Water is usually rcckoned TO be
"soft" when II contains less than one
five-thousandth part of It's weight OF
mineral ingredients and "hard' when 1t
contains more than one four-thou-
sandth.
Soft water has the property of easily
forming lather with soap and Is
therefore suitable for washing pur-
poses. while hard water will only form
n lnthcr, and that imperfectly. with
considerable difficulty.
A mineral water has more than one
two-thousandth of It's weight of nat
ural dissolved solids. and n medicinal
water Is n variety of mineral water
containing Il varying percentage of dis
solved natural solid or gaseous drugs.

A Fornotten Genius.

The history OF wireless telegraphy
would not be complete without some
mention of Joseph Henry, Americas
greatest scientist, for 1t was he who
first, in 1872 discovered the oscillatory
character Of certain electric discharges
ana who showed that these oscillations
produced disturbances which could by
suitable receivers be detected at diss
tances of many rods and through In
tervening buildings, writes Professor
Joseph Amcs In The Review Of Re-
views. lie even arranged an apparatus
on this principle to respond to the
lightning discharges Of distant storms.
The great genius of Henry was never
more apparent than In his investiga-
tlon OF electrical discharges and their
oscillatory nature. II is n lasting tes-
timony to the ignorance among Ameri-
cans of their own great men that the
name of Joseph Henry was not includ-
ed i'm the first 80 selected for the Hall

BAIT FOR SUNFlSH.
One MINIS Method of Going Fishing
with His Boots.

There Is about as much sport In
catching the big suniish as In hitting
out the crappie If you can get the
former In one of Its savage moods.
pelker Is great CRATER on sunfsh.
He has got n dozen different kinds of
bait. but he says that II Is all nonsense

declares that beef run through ham

MS It will cut in long strips like angle
worms.
"When the sunfsh are biting right
smart, II Is about all that can do TO be
kept In the shop" said Pelker. 81 be-
lievc me and the sunfsh are the most
cheering things out. DO you know,
have noticed old time fishermen mt
Breese's lake wadlng around In the
shallow water. where the sunfish are
found at spawning time, as carefully
as If they were fishing for trout. Now,
1t Is different with me when | go out
with my hamburg steak TO feed the
golden bcllled beauties on. | just tie
the line to each leg of my boots, take n
little short rod in my hand and stride
into the water and go ahead. On the
bootleg lines use red flies. Why, the
sunfish come up and get stuck on my
fly hooks three or four at n time. That's
the way to catch mess of fish In n
few hours.

with green katy on, and If there
is crapple within n radius Of
10 or 10 feet 1t will come like

you get no bite, you can pull your

Dollars In Odd shapes.

Under the law q silver dollar may be
a grain and n half over weight or a
grain and half under weight. and this
"llmit OF tolerance" applies to all of our
silver coins. In other words, they are
not allowed to vary more than that
much from standard. In the case of
goldpleces, the limit IL half grain
either way up TO the eagle, n variation
of as much rs one grain being permlssl-
bic In the $40 and 500 pieces.
Whenever fresh batch of dollars ~
turned out at the mint. samples are
forwarded to the treasury at Washing
ton. where they are put through n very
curious process. Each dollar Is first
weighed on exquisltely delicate scales

and yet not too heavy. Then II Is pass

transformed into thin strip Of silver
sort of ribbon-n foot and II half In
length. Then II Is put beneath II little
machine provided with several small
punches. by which hundreds Of tiny
disks are punched out of the metal
strip.
Now, the object of this performance
IL to obtain samples of metal from all
parts of the dollar, inasmuch as 1t Is
conceivable that one portion might be
richer In silver than another. The little
disks are shullled together, and few
