of the fact that something is needed for
fireplace decoration in summer. According
ly the fireplace screen has been introduced.
This is two or three fold, has an antique
green iron frame, handsomely wrought and
twisted. In the leaves of the screen the
ribbons and tendrils of iron form a series
of brackets, into. which large and small
green tile pots fit. In the pots all manner
of trailing green things are rooted, and
their garlands and long tendrils weaving
as they grow through the wrought-iron fret
work, form a delicate and effectual screen

HELLO" IS "HALLOO.v
A Respectable Old English Word and

Who is it?'' 1t is reported that in certain
communities telephone girls have been ad-
monished to cut hello" out of their vocab-
ularies. No fault should be found with any
crusade against what seems to be vulgar
but We may at least with propriety drop a
tear for the passing hello" Hello, CEN
tral! is an office fixture in every business
phrase that speaks itself unconsciously.
1t came into existence with the telephone
and characterizes something of the brusuue
impersonal courtesy which business de-
mands. 1t has answered a need and has
answered it well. 1t is an established tradi-
ton and a good one. 1t comes from the
very pith of the Anglo-Saxon language, a.
direct descendant of 'Halloo' which is
good interjection in high standing accord
ing to Webster). For a long time it has
been engaged in the capacity of IAN ex-

that would be better than long involved

THE TOBACCO HABIT.
Nicotine an Enemy of Brains, Says a
College Professor.


From the Chicago Record Herald
DIR. Herbert Fisk of the Northwestern
University believes he has gathered statis-
tics which prove that the use of tobacco is
incompatible with the use of brains. He
declares that among his students scholar
ship is in inverse ratio to smoke, and adds:
THE students who get low marks of
course say 1t is not due to tobacco a
somewhat careful observation of facts has
convinced us that it is tobacco. Last year
not one of the boys who used tobacco stood
in the first rank of scholarship. This has
been the usual rule. One year, out of the
thirtythree pupils in the first rank of schol-
arship there was one user Of tobacco. The
largest percentage of tobacco users is found
in the fifth rank of scholarship.
Undoubtedly the tobacco habit among the
young should be discouraged, but We are
afraid that not much can be accomplished
through such statistics. The trouble is that
initiative youth Pounds itself on the exam
pie of manhood, and in the very pursuit of
knowledge it is fascinated by the smoking
example of Tennyson and Carlyle and Low
ell and other great men. Either in their
own works or in the works of their biogra-
plies it appears that the immortal trio
whom we have named were soaked in nico-
tire and could not get enough. The refer
ences to pipes gives rich meerSchaum
color to the narrative, and we can imagine
the enthusiastic student becoming convinced
that the pipe is an essential Of good litera-
ture After reading how Carlyle kept at 1t
from morning till night he would resolve to
cultivate his brain in the same fashion. OF
course it is ridiculous confusion of cause
and effect, but youth is strangely impress
sionable, and possibly some of the intellec-
tually ambitious boys among DR.. Fisk's pu-
pills are putting away with all their might
just to reach the Carlyle standard.

very simple measures for identifying it

Another resourceful housekeeper who

HANGO, Finland, March %, 1902.
The journey across the Baltic in an Ice
breaker from Stockholm to Hango on the
Finland shore was a most unique and in
teresting one. 1t gave one taste and a
very considerable taste, of genuine arctic
travel. For hours our sturdy little ice
breaker battled with her wintry foe; crash
ing through ice a foot thick, as though it
was only collection of good, substantial
egg shells. But sometimes she would find
the ice too much for her sharp beak and
stout engines, and, ram it she would
with all her might, she could make no
Roadway.
Then she would have to back cut and try
another lead only to find that that, too,
was blocked with a heavy ice foe. Into
this our dauntless captain would bunt,
croWding on all steam. The little craft as
she pounded upon the ice would culver
from stem to stern, as though she had
struck a rock. Then she would draw back
for another bunt and try it again and again

before. 1t being thick day. every five
minutes this syren uttered its mournful
blast, that sounded like the wall of a de-
parted spirit over the liberties and hopes
of Finland.
1t must be said that the children did not
seem to share in the general gloom, for in
a school yard where l saw several scores of
little Firms at recess time. they seemed to
be as merry griggs. They were snow
balling and tumbling over each other and
building snow forts and snow men, as
though six feet of snow were an unusual
rarity with them.
But in this school and every other in
Finland the hated Russian WILL in another
year l suppose. be the dominant language
and the beloved Finnish will be relegated
to second place, If it is taught at all.
