IMPAIRED SENSES.
Too Frequent Stimulation with Tea,
Smelling Salts, Etc, Is Certain
to Work Injury,

The senses of taste and smell are so
closely connected that one cannot be
forcibly affected without more or less
action upon the other. These enses
are frequently impaired by continued
overworking, some tastes becoming
quite depraved by the habit of taking
very hot and highly-spiced foods, says
the American Queen.
Many young women form the habit
Of drinking strong tea so hot as to
almost scald the tongue, and soon
their taste is so debauched that moth
ing moderate is acceptable to them.
These are the appetites, too, that
crave pickles, hot condiments and
spices. This is a most unhealthy and
unnatural state and should be guarded
against with the same vigilance that
is used against strong drink.
The too frequent stimulation of any
ether sense lessons the pleasure it can
yield and intemperance of any sort
brings its own punishment. There
fore do not sniff too often and with
out cause at the camphor bottle, the
smelling salts or even the cologne bot
tie. These have their uses but also
their abuses. Most smokers, can testi-
fly that the first pipe or cigar after
several hours abstinence gives much
created pleasure than those that quick
ly follow it.
Strive to keep the senses normal and
healthy by moderation and sometimes
abstinence in their qualification.

INFANT ~SUBJUGATION.
How n Child May BE Taught Obedf,
ence without Recourse to
Physical COmpuIsiOn.

Many an earnest, conscientious
young mother, with a heartfull of love
and a mind full of superstition, be-
lieves it to be her duty to bring her
infant into a state of subsection the
instant it manifests a touch of self-will.
''How," they ask, 'is the child to be
taught obedience without the use of
force?" Before answering, let us set
tie the question of what degree of
obedience is meant, says Woman's
Home Companion. Absolute, instant,
i~nvariable obedience cannot be taught
without force, nor maintained without
injustice. But the degree of obedi-
ence that it is rational to wish for,
and that is compatible with the proper
evolution of youthful character, can
be beautifully taught by gentle means,
if there is any relapse from
sympathetic treatment into dogmat-
ical severity. The mild and affection
ate mother who is always gentle is
obeyed from choice by her children, be-
cause they believe in her and desire
to please her. But if she occasionally
departs from her ordinary disposition
and administers injustice, they lose
confidence in her.

BIRDS MADE A SIEVE.
1t Used to BE q Cabin Door Until
the Woodpeckers Got to
Work ON 1t.

In the mountains of Tennessee a
stranger came upon a man who was
shoveling coal upon a wooden sieve,
relates the New York Herald. Upon
inquiry how on earth he got such a
curious thing, the old man replied:
stranger, I don't think you'll
b'leeve me if I tell you"
"oh, yes, certainly" said the man.

ago by Great Britain. It's population
numbers 100000. They belong TO the
Mongol branch of the human family.
Their language is closely related to
the Tibetan and Chinese, and the pre-
dominant religious faith is Buddhism.
The Burmese are divided into seven
castles. Closely related TO them are
the natives of the K~hanates, which
are now about evenly divided between
Great Britain, France and China. The
natives of these dependencies are
sturdy, nomadic and more highly civ
ilized than other Mongol tribes. They
are taking kindly to labor-saving de-
vices of every description, and may
prove good customers for American
manufactures.
Another enterpnsing and prosperous
Mongol tribe are the Kalmucks. They
inhabit the interior of western China
and the adjacent district. The nomadic
families of the Kalmucks constitute
the larger part of the population. They
are nominally under Chinese suzerain-
ty, but are already scattered over vast
regions belong to Russia. The prin-
cipal wealth of the various clans con-
sists of horses, camels, cattle and
sheep. The men are excellent horse
men; the women are always mounted
on camels when journeying from one
pasture ground to another, or attend
ing the national festivities in distant
towns.
In the HimaIaya district of north
ern India are found many tribes OF
Tibetan origin. One of the most re-
markable is the pastoral elan of the
Toda which has for centuries dwelled
in the Nilgherries and maintained its
individuality in the face of much OPP
position. Their dwellings are con-
structed of bamboo and covered with
straw, the entrance being so low that
the interior can be reached only by
crawling into it. The Todas are char
acterized by rare racial purity. They
are divided into five separate castles,
whose members never intermarry.
Among the three lower castles each
village has its own priest, who is not
allowed to offer sacrifices, however;
his sole responsibility being the care
and milking of buffalo cows, the most
respected of all Toda callings. The
village priest must be a member of one

by hermits who lead an ~avcetic life

Although the Todas are not the orig
inal owners of the soil, they are rec
ognized by neighbOring tribes as the
proprietors of the mountain territory
they now occupy and receive a volun-
tary annual tribute from their neigh
bors. They raise b~utfaloes and earn,
without much trouble, enough to live
comfortably. More they do not seem
to desire, caring neither for riches nor
power, nor being attracted by the re-
wards of agriculture or the chase.
Among the moribund polynesian
tribes none is more interesting than
the natives of New Zealand, common
ly known as the Notwithstanding
natives" They are constantly de-
creasing i'll number, and will have
passed away entirely within the next
century and a half. The men tattoo
their faces and other parts of the body,
the women only their chins. Men as
well as women are sturdy, even hand

paper article, even an outline of the
customs and peculiarities of the vari-
Gus tribes and races with which we,
as a nation, must necessarily come
into contact now that we have as
sumed a place as a world power. In
years gone by we looked upon the
strange peoples of Asia and Polynesia
as curiosities, to be encountered oc-
~casionally in a circus or dime muse
UNI, but now we must be prepared t o
meet them as customers for our flour,
agricultural machinery, sewing ma
chimes, boots and shoes, carriages and
automobiles. For this reason, it would
appear advisable that the study Of
ethrography, hitherto an almost UNI
known science in our high schools and
colleges, be taken up by intelligent
teachers-so that they can familiarize
their pupils with the habits of the
peoples with whom they may have to
deal at some future period.
The expansion of German trade is
due in a great measure to- the thor
oughness of German technical schools,
whose directors seem to apprecite the
value of chronological and ethnograph-
zeal lessons as an essential part of
commercial as well as scientific edu-
cation. WILLIAM WALTER WELLS.

Marine oak furniture is 2ew and par
ticularly adapted for summer furnish
ings. 1t is an unusually rich shade of
brown and SO named because it sug-
gested to the designer some oak seen
aboard an old schooner, and colored
by the action of the salt water and
other elements a deep b~rownish tint.
Flower pots of terra Gotta in shades
of red or buff are used as decorations
for porches and balustrades and are
considered effective substitutes for the
ordinary ~jardinieres.
For summer use blue and white china
is always il favor and comes at moder-
ate figures. Somewhat higher in price
and better in quality is the fine white
ware bordered with lace designs in
blue, pink and green, or decorated with
floral bouquets in pompadour pattern.
Strawberry lovers may be interested
in the experiment of gardeners with a
variety of this popular fruit which will
ripen in September. Last year a limit
ed amount of berries were secured and
this year it is expected that the prod
uct will be large, as they are being
planted by hundreds where single
plants were the rule last season.
Individual shortcakes are preferred
by some folks to the customary TRAN

The most satisfactory way to make
these individual cakes is to take bak-

size, split them while hot and butter
Put mashed and sweetened berries be-
tween the biscuit layers and on top,
the same as with cake, and serve with
cream.
A delicious sauce for serving with
bread or cottage pudding or plain

WORDS CAME BY ACCIDENT.
Singular Origin of Many Expressive
Terms Used in the English
Language.

"Hurrah!" 1t used to be "Hurray!'
and the cry is as old as England. 1t
is the battle cry of the old Morse vik-
ings as they swept down to burn and
murder among the peaceful British.
'Tur aie!" was their war cry, which
means Thor ~aid!"-an appeal for
help to Thor, the god of battles, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
It's all humbug!" Perhaps it is,
Humbug is the Irish "uim bog" pro-
nounced humbug, meaning bogus
money. King James II. coined worth
less money from his mint at Dublin,
his 20-shilling piece being worth two
pence. The people called it "uim bog"
1t was a Roman gentleman of 1000
years ago who first asked ''where the
shoe pinches." He had just divorced
his wife and his friends wanted to
know what was the matter with the
woman. They declared she was good
and pretty. "Now," said the hus-
band, taking off his shoe, isn't that
a nice shoe? It's a good shoe, Ell? A
pretty shoe, Ell? A new shoe, Ell?
And none of you can tell where it
pinches me-"
Before you can say Jack Robinson
arose from the behavior of one John
Robinson. He was a fool. He was in
such a hurry when he called on his
friends, that he would be off before
he had well knocked at the door.
"There they go, helter-skelter!"
That phrase was coined at the defeat
of the Spanish Armada. The great
feet of the Spanish invasion was
driven by storm and stress of the
English attack north of the Helder
river and south to the Skelder river
the Scheldt.
Do you know why a hare is called
"push?" This is not a riddle, but
just an example of how words get
twisted, The ancient Latin word for
a hare was ''lepus." The Norman
knights who came over with William
the C%onqueror pronounced the word
'le puss." The puss he remains to-
day.

Is Your Hearing NOrmnIf

What is normal hearing? Aural
experts seem to place the standard at
the ability to hear a quiet whisper at
the distance of IS feet. The test was
recently applied to a thousand Eng
lish school children with a somewhat
startling result. Fifty per cent. of
them were found to be suffering from
a disease of the inner ear which rem
dered them partially deaf. In Germany
these examinations of school children
are periodical, and the medical experts
give advice to the parents of those
whose Threats or ears are in need of
treatment. One writer humorouslv
suggests that sit should become a pop
ular parlor game to take six PAGES
and whisper" Those who could not
hear the whisper might then pay a
doctors fee as forfeit.

THE POM[ROY AFFAIR.
by LLOYD WILLIAMS,

a 4 MN e q z az MMMMMMNNa

7 STOOD at the window of my poor
l little meanly-furnished surgery.
There was scarcely a patient worthy
of the name on my books, and my lit
tie stock of savings vas nearly ex-
hausted. In fact, it began to look as if
the medals and distinctions I had
won at college and the "spitap were
useless, for 1 had nearly made up my
mind to abandon all hope of working
up a practice in Dewhurst.
As I looked down the whole length
of the High street l saw one of the
Pomeroy dogcarts turn the corner by
the market-place. 1t contained a
groom, dressed in their well-known
dark-blue livery, and he drove the
thoroughbred chestnut up the street
at q splitting pace. To my surprise,
he stopped at the humble door of my
surgery, ordered a boy who was
standing near to hold the horse, and
sprang out.
"Will you please come up to the
castle at once?" he said breathlessly.
"The earl has cut his hand very bad
ly."
I believe I went scarlet with aston
ishment.
"Dr. Thornton generally attends
his lordship," I said with hesitation.
"Yes, sir" said the groom; "but the
dowager countess has had some
words with Mr.. Thornton, and she
particularly begs you will drive back
with me-"
A moment later I was seated in the
dogcart, speeding away to the castle,
not knowing that that simple sum-
mons to attend a wounded hand was
to lead to the most extraordinary in
cident Of my career.
I was received in the morning-room
by the dowager countess, a woman OF
about 40 years Of age, who was still
in possession of the wonderful beau
ty which had made her famous
throughout Europe. I should mention
that the present earl was her step
son. His young wife, a girl OF about
20, was in the room when l arrived,
but she had very little to say, and ]
understood at a glance that the per-
son to be conciliated was the dow
ager, who appeared to rule every
body. The conversation was OF the
ordinary type; the earl had wound
ed his hand somewhat severely with
a hunting knife. He was at present
in the library, and they would like
me to go there at once. I was about
to leave the room when the dowageT
called me back.
'There was one other little mat
ter, DR.. Lightfoot," she said. I'VE
very much fear that the earfs heart
ss seriously affected"
She stopped, and I looked properly
sympathetic.
