1t Is Correct to Say "GoOd" Health.
II health" means BODILY sound
ness" how is 1t possible to speak of
"good healthY'
In its primary sense "health" means
bodily sOundness, but 1t also means,
by extension, the general condition of
the body as compared with some con-
dition taken as q standard, and in this
sense health" is properly qualified as

Professional divers, who remain I'M
der water from two to five minutes at
a time, are accustomed before SUD-
merging themselves to take deep inspi-
rations for ten minutes. The OBJECT
is said to be to store up oxygen, not
in the lung cells, but In the Diood
corpuscles. This renders temporary
suspension of the breathing possible
by supplying the corpuscles with an
extra quantity of oxygen, to be ex-
changed chemically with the carbonic
acid, produced by vital processes, IN

Mexican Etiquette.

There are some points of Mexican
etiquette that to many foreigners ac-
customed to more brusque and busi-

unnecessary, such, for instance, as the

street car or doorway first or which

of the sidewalk. AS n rule, however,

Dnlzac'H Why.

Jules Sandeau relates that one time
while living in Paris BalZac locked
himself up in his room for twenty-five
days and twenty-five nights, refusing
to see any one and keeping the cur
tains closed and the lights continually
burning even In broad daylight. The
only human being he saw during this
time was his servant, whom he rang
for when he felt the need Of food and
which he washed down with numerous
cups Of coffee. He would throw him
self on his bed only when entirely ex-
hausted from lack Of sleep, and he re-
manned in complete ignorance of what
was transporting outside, the state Of
the weather and even of the time and
day Of the week. He only freed him
self from this voluntary captivity when
he had written the word END" on the
last page Of the manuscript he began
when he entered his prison.

How an Elephant Grows.

While we must not overlook the DIFF
ference between the supply Of food in
nature and captivity as well as the
equally different conditions of both
food and exercise In either state, It is
somewhat interesting to note the in
crease In weight and height of a young
Indian elephant in captivity, state to
which 1t was brought when about If
teen months old. During nearly cou-
pie Of years the captive put on nearly
half ton Ito be more accurate, some
LOO pounds Of avoirdupois) and not
far short of eighteen inches.
The increase in both weight and
height was greatest in the early
months and slower in both cases as
time went on, and the greatest gain In
any single month was ninety pounds
and four inches. Considering the i'm
mense ra1ons given to elephants in me-
nageries, 1t may be thought, perhaps,
that the results are none too great for
the cost. Yet to gain ninety pounds In
single month is prodigious all the

In the Smithsonian institution ut
Washington Is a glass case containing
q stuffed cat. A card tells why this
particular cat Is known to fame, and
the story Is as follows:
Many years ago while the Washing
ton monument was still in an unfinish-
ed condition an adventurous and pa
triotic cat assembled the interior Of the
shaft by means Of the ropes and scat
folding. When the w0rkmen arrived
at the upper landing the next morning
and began to prepare for the days
work, the cat took fright and, spring
ing to the outer edge, took the leap OF
100 feet to the hard earth below.
In the descent, which was watched
closely by twOscore Of men, the cat
spread herself out like flying SPUR
rel, fell slowly and alighted as eats
always do, on all tours.
After turning over on the soil few
times as If dazed she prepared to
leave the grounds. She had got al
most beyond the shadow of the mOnu-
ment when a dog belonging to one OF
the workmen pounced upon her and
killed her, she Of course not being able
to run as fast as usual after perform
ing such an extraordinary feat.
One Of the men rescued the body of
the cat, smoothed out her silky coat
and turned the remains over to rep
resentative of the Smithsonian institu-
ton, who mounted the skin and placed
1t under the glass case.

A curious custom prevails at Huay-

which she deposits at the foot Of the

select one Of the boxes and take it
away with him, whereupon the fair

MONROE DOCTRINE: 5 5:: :: :: !: !:

Frederick Pollock, corps professor Of
jurisprudence University of oxford, be-
fore the London Chamber of Com
merce, Wednesday, commencing the
Monroe doctrine, has caused interest
ing and diverse expressions of opinion
from the Spectator and the Saturday
Review. The Spectator is delighted
and urges the State Department at
Washington to enunciate the doctrine
clearly as then Great Britain could
record her acQuiesCenCe, expressing at
the same time its maintenance of Brit
ish interest adding: Such a course
would certainly benefit the peace of the
world as well as the security of Can
ada and our other possessions.
The Kaiser now thinks he has only
to build enough ships to make the
United States see the advisability of
dropping the doctrine so far as South
America is concerned. That incentive
to prohigate waste of the national re-
sources might be withdrawn if the ac-
ton we suggest is taken. The Ameri-
cans, having got our adhesion to the
doctrine, might submit it to Germany
and the other great powers. If their
answers were favorable, a great
source for future quarrels would be
automatically eliminated. The two
americas would, by the agreement, be
ruled out of the field of political ambi-
tons. If Germany and the other pow
ers would not join in asserting, the
Americans would at any rate know
where they stood"
The Saturday Review, on the other
hand denounces Sir Frederick Pollock,
and declares his speech to be one of the
lowest defenses of what it maintains
Ia he Durp a pprpSsiOn on the mart of
America, in which a defensive element
does not figure.
1T MEANS" concludes the Saturday
Review, that all America is for the
United States. We might as well say
1t is hereby declared that all the ISL
ands of the world belong to Great
Britain"

speaking of the new conditions which

necessity for facing these new facts.

forward and not backward. While
there were many things which in the

V ere as many which he was glad We're
in the past only. He said he was de-
lighted that the former habit of hang
ing on to the household of chief was
abolished and also that the eXpecta-
ton that certain young men would be
given government places Immediately
upon graduation was no more. Now
it was merit which gave preferment.
This. he said, was the hope of the Ha-
waiian people. Now the Hawaiian de-
pended upon no one but won by his
native talent. Governor Dole said he
had no fear of the success of the Ha-
waiian in the race with the white man

men not to compete with the white
men but to combine with them for the
advancement of the Territory.
