In the city of Chicago. at the cor
uer of West Madison street. is a large
f!ve-story building known as the
Washingtonian Home, one of the most
unique institutions in the world. This
home is an institution for the medical
and moral treatment OF inebrlety. IL
had its beginning almost forty years
ago. when Rolla A. Law, a Chicago
editor decided that something more
must be done than merely to per.
suade drunkards to sign the pledge.
The Washingtonian Home differs
fiom almost every other institution
OF its kind. because OF the fact that il
begins it's treatment at once upon the
basis of total abstinence. and no mat
ter what the condition of the patient
may be, he is not given any lntoxi-
cant. The patient begins with a sim
pie medical treatment, according to
the condition in which he Is received.
For this purpose a hospital is provid.
ed in another portion OF the building.
At first the patient Is treated as i
diseased man. one who has been pois-

Reforms ana Human Mature.

Occasionally events crystalline SO
that the reformer can come into power
through an extraordinary reyulsi6n OF
the people against their masters, but
this revulsion has to be produced by
events rather than words, says the
Political Science Quarterly. A few
men of the dominant party sent to
prison will do more to cause revul-
sion Of feeling than all the arguments
or newspaper exposes in the world.
The reformer may then get his innings,
and if he makes some effort to under
stand the human nature that pervades
the greatest part Of the city population
he may remain longer than brief sea
son, but the odds are against it for a
long time still to come, for the reformer
is as yet constitutionally unable to fol
low up the detail necessary for political
popularity and success. He relies on
ideas, not on men, He does not realize
that the majority Of citizens still live
in world of personalities, not of prin.
ciples.

Expl0dinR "a Theory.

at the beginning Of the nineteenth
century the French Academy of Sci.
ences offered to give prize TO the firsi
person who would solve the following
problem: If you take a vase full Of
water and put stone or any similar
body in it, the water will flow over.
IL. however, you put into it fish, the
volume of which is equal to that of the
stone, it will not flow over. Explain
this phenomenon.
Learned essays on the subject poured
In from all quarters, but the problem
was not satisfactorily solved in any
of them. and consequently the prize
was not awarded.
In the following year the same Ques-
ton was again propounded, and for
five years answers continued to pour
in to the academy. Then it suddenly
occurred to one of the academicians
that. after all, the problem might be
incapable of solution, and he deter
mined to make test for himself.
Filling vase with water he put
a stone into it and saw that the water
flowed over. Then he took out the
stone, filled the vase again with water
and put into it a fish. the volume OF
which was the same as that of the
stone. and saw, to his surprise, that
the water again flowed over.
He told the academy of his discov-
cry and the result was that the Offer
of prize was at once withdrawn.

How she Made n PROFIT.

In Paris a gentleman who is very
fond OF dne paintings bought for $4,000
francs work entitled The Bride of
Abydos" and was congratulating him
self on becoming it's possessor when he
suddenly remembered that his wife
disliked very much to see him spend
his money in this manner.
How can avoid scene?" he asked
himself. 'If l say that the painting
cost 15.0OOt francs, there viii be an
awful time, and so I'd better say 1000.
No; I'll say 4.00O."
BY this time he had reached home,
and when he saw his wife he told her
unblushingly that he had just secured
q beautiful work of art for the nomi-
nal sum of 5000 francs. At this good
news she seemed more disconnected
than pleased, but said nothing, and
the painting was hung up.
Next day the gentleman was obliged
to go to the south of France, and when
he returned after a weeks absence
mis- wife met him with a beaming coun-
tenance and said: I've done a good
stroke of business while you were
away. You know that painting you
bought for 1900 francs? Well I sold
1t yesterday for 4,500, a clear profit OF
1900 francs" .

If swimmers could be trained to keep

nouId be comparatively little drown

sirr seekers. Cramp is usually assigned
as the cause when some good swimmer
browns But cramp ought in reality to
be nothing serious. Usually is affects
only an arm on a leg or maybe only a
hand or foot. Any moderately good
swimmer can keep af1oat with one arm
E5f even without the use of that, yet
gs,9d swimmers drown often as result

ly@ed, they would be more properly
cEssed as drowning from fright and
loss of nerve. This comes from the fact

grown man and swimmer TO fear

the man who is attacked when swim
nning in deep water is as good as
drowned Therefore, when a swimmer
feels leg or arm begin to cramp he is
frightened in most cases entirely out
&f his wits. He loses his head, begins
DO splash and paw and struggle and
then goes down.
What the swimmer should remember
Is that he can keep af1oat with very,
very little effort if he will turn ON his

Hard lessons In Good Manners.


School chaff is wholesome In most
cases. but it may cramp what should
not be cramped. AS to the chaff which
a man gives and gets at a university.
however, we do not think there can be
two opinions. 1t must do good, and it
has not the opportunity Of doing harm.
Only those receive it who lay them
selves open to receive it, The quiet
man who wishes to read or to think
apart need hardly ever come into con
tact with his fellows unless he so
chooses. The staggering or bump
ti0us man, the opiniOnated man, the
offensive man-these are certain to be
chaffed, and the chaff usually goes
home; not at once perhaps, but 1t usu-
ally gets there in the end with salts
factory consequences. The personal
remark may be rude, but rudeness is
often very salutary weapon. 1t is
certainly one of the most valuable in
struments of English education In
deed 1t may seem a strange thing to
say, but 1t is surely true that contin.
ued experience Of calculated. formu.
