recently, "that half the children Of this
country do not grow up minus an

"But whereforeT' asked the person
to whom he was speaking.
Here is an illustration" continued
the first speaker. 'Do you see that
woman walking with little child?
Now, notice her when she crosses the
street."
At the crossing the woman lifted the
child by one arm. 1t dangled in the
air, and its feet did not touch the earth
until it was across the street, when the
mother dropped it on the sidewalk

The Lucifer Match.

It is to Mr.. Isaac Holden, member of
parliament that we owe the invention
of the lucifer match. This discovery
was. he himself has told us, the result
of happy thought. "In the morning
l used to get up at o'clock in order to
pursue my studies, and l used at that
time the flint and steel, the use OF
which l found a very great inconven-
fence. OF course l knew, as other
chemists did, the explosive material
that was necessary in order to produce
instantaneous light, but it was very
difficult to obtain light on wood by
that explosive material, and the idea
occurred to me to put sulphur under
the explosive mixture. l did that and
showed it in my next lecture on chem
istry, a course of which was deliver
ing at large academy.
"There was" added Mr.. Holden, "a
young man in the room whose father
was a chemist in London, and he i'm
mediately wrote to his father about 1t.
and shortly afterward lucifer matches
were issued to the world. believe
that was the first occasion that we had
the present lucifer match. was urged
to go and take out patent immediate

ter and 1t cost me 80 little labor that I
did not think it proper to go and get a
patent; otherwise 1 have no doubt 1t
would have been very profitable"

ODD RUSSIAN CUSTOM.


tlOn
In compliance with an ancient Rus
sian custom all the young men and wo-
men of the mercantile class in st. Pc
tersburg assemble on Whitmonday, the
former to stare and the latter to be
stared at. The young girls, dressed as
richly as their means will allow, are
arranged in long rows by the sides Of
the flower beds in the summer garden,
with their mammas standing behind
them. The wardrobes of their mothers
and grandmothers are laid under con-
tribution, and everything bright and
gaudy is carefully brought forward to
enrich the drapery, the headdress or
the girdle.
Some of the young ladies are so COW
cred with gold and jewelry on these oc-
casions that their natural charms are
altogether concealed; indeed the lu-
dicrous excess to which this sort of
decoration is sometimes carried goes
beyond what has ever been attempted
elsewhere. Thus bedizened the blush
ing damsels are drawn up in mute
rows, while the papas, in flowing
caftans and curling boards, parade
their sons up and down. Here and there
the papas and mammas try to lead the
young folks into conversation with one
another, in the course Of which certain
little looks and emotions may arise,
pregnant with future circumstances.
Eight days or so after this bridal ex-
hibition private family meetings take
place, at which those whose hearts
are captivated at the grand show are
more formally af1ianced to one another
by their parents and relatives

walters Hands.

Many walters have hands that are
more callous than a blacksmith OF
ironworkers. The callousness comes
from carrying hot plates, coneepots
and the like. The heat seems TO Try
their skin and to make dead surface
to keep them from being burned py
things that man with ordinary hands
could not stand. 1t may have puzzled
neopIe who go TO some restaurants to
notice how the walters hoid thinss III
their hands for some time which are
too hot for the hands of the people at
the tables even to pass TO one anoeher'
This is the explanation: That the wait
er,s hands become callous ana nara
SO that the tough skin at the surface
has no more feeling than piece OF
horn.

Wonderful Things In Heredity.

1t is a fact well established by stu
dents of herediy that children are apt
to inherit not only the physical, mental
and moral traits Of their parents, but
to be Influenced by their age as well.
Children born Of very young fathers
and mothers never attain so vigorous
growth Of mind or body as those OF old
err men and women, while children OF
old people are born old.
One of the most surprising cases IN
medical history is that of Marguerite
Cribsowna, who died in 1853, aged los
years. When ninety -four, she was mar
ried to man aged 105. Three children
came of this union. but they had gray
hair, no teeth, WIRE stopped, yellow

sBy Jovev' said Wharton, and he
threw back his head and laughed-a
splendid, ringing laugh that consorted
well with che CLEAN of his white teeth
in the dusk of his beard and the flash
Of his deepset dark eyes. "This is GER
tainly uncommon. 1t must be Char

that's Scheveningen hotel. I'd like

Some days later Bobs and Kitchener
took it into their heads to play in an
empty boat. Kitchener found the boat,
and Bobs led the way into it. Then it
gently parted company with the land
and drifted away. The place was al
most deserted at that time of day, and
Bobby, half frightened, half elate, held
his peace, wondering if 1t would be
manly to call for help. A sudden gust
of wind struck the craft, and some
how or other the two went over the
side just as Captain Lawton and Mrs.
Browne came strolling along the pier.
Mrs. Browne gave cry Of terror.
cts Bobby" she exclaimed.
A moments hesitation was all that
saved Captain Lawton's immaculate
garb, and in that instant huge, swift
moving form went by them, dropped
into the water with tremendous
splash and swan with strong, assured
strokes toward the dots in the water.
1t was all over in minute, and Mrs.
Browne, all regardless of soft silk dra-
peries and floating laces, had Bobby in
her arms, and Lieutenant Charters,
who had come running up. was saying:
"'Pon my word, Bobs, you and Kitch-
ener"-
Then his eye fell upon the rescuer,
and he broke his sentence of in the
middle to grab the hand of the big,
tall, very wet man who had dropped
his travelling bag to take an impromptu
swim. There were introductions and
handshakings and tears. When Bobby
heard the name Of Wharton, he stared
round eyed, and when Wharton heard
the name Of Bobby he, too, said, up
on my wordv to himself.
Perhaps all this had something to do
with the fact that when on the follow
ing evening Captain Lawton came for
his final answer to his suit the pretty
widow knew her own mind and an
swered him with gentle but decided
emo" .
At about the same time Wharton
was confessing frankly to his friend
Charters that he was bowled over for
the first time in his life, and would
there be any chance for him? That
naval officer, you know
Charters grinned. II don't think you
need worry about him." said he. Go
in, old chap. and here's luck"
The rapidity of Wharton's courtshtp
shocked the whole place. 1t was not
more than six weeks after his first ap-
pearance that he was walking in the
twilight with charming, gay gowned
dame, and she was saying in that
delicious soft voice of hers:
"But it wasn't all what you did that
first day, Edward, though I'd have
been friends forever with any one who
had saved Bobby's life. 1t was just
that you were you, and-don't you
think it was fate"
81 think" said Wharton, with a
twinkle in his eye, that it was the
Vaccinations of Bobs."
And then he told her.
