TOO MUCH ATHLETICS
 NOT GOOD FOR GIRLS.
Physical Culture Director of welles- ley Says Basket Ball Must Be
 Carefully Supervised.


 The abuses of athletics in secondary discussed at a meeting of the Boston Physical Educational Society held in the Walker building, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
 Miss Lucille Eaton Hill. head of the physical culture department at Wellesley, took as her text, If advocates of ath- letics are arduous. opponents of athletics are strenuous" She said that there should be no opposition to outdoor sports for girls, provided they were carried on properly, but she recognized that evils were creeping in. and that the time was ripe to stop them.
 Regarding basketball, she said that un- less it was carefully supervised the game could work havoc with young girls. She asserted there were too many y'incompetent teachers of athletics in secondary schools; that system must be provided for prop CT instruction, and that unless the same could be arranged athletics for girls and boys should be prohibited.
 Intercollegiate contests she said, should be tabooed; likewise interscholastic af- fairs of skill and stfength which she said could not be otherwise than harmful.
 Miss Hill severely criticised the society women who gave a black eye to athletics by becoming too sporty" in their efforts to attract publicity by their fads. as the sins of the latter had to be borne by the big majority of women.
 In closing. Miss Hill stated that atten- ton of reformers should be centered on the physical culture developments for girls. as the boys were not to be com pared with girls for a minute. since 1t was absolutely necessary to have healthy girls to make good mothers.

One species, called the dug ong. inhabits the waters of the Malay archipelago; and the Maiays. when they have captured a young one, are always sure to capture the mother.

The Drink Habit.

The London Times has printed an esti- mate of the intoxicating liquors consum- ed in the United Kingdom in 1902. With a population of H,9525lO. the consumption of British spirits last year was 35, ,339, ,523 gallons; of other spirits. S77s.20o gallons; of Der. 352f3,472 barrels; of wine, 15,- 34s,242 gallons and of British wines. cider. etc, 5000, 600 gallons. The total cost of these liquors was $s97, ,499. .0S5. or al the rate of $2O s2 per capitl of the population. More spirits were consumed in Scotland than in England and Ireland combined and more beer in England than in Scot land and Ireland combined. In the United States. according to the estimate of the American Grocer. the cost of alcoholic and malt drinks consumed last year was $1 IF. .565, ,235, or $l4.A per capita of popu- lation

wombat's Odd Actions.

Wombat's Odd Actions.
 He took me to see the wombat. who lived in a stone house with a stone floor. His playground, too. was lined with stones except at one end. where he was allowed to burrow on certain days. Around the space wire netting had been sunk some i've feet deep to prevent him from bur- rowing out into the great world. When we arrived the wombat was engaged in c serious attempt to tie Q piece of straw around his own muzzle. M
 Sometimes he plays with the toes o9 his hind feet" said the psychologist, ''or else pretends to have difficulty in grab- ping the end of his tail. which he swings like a pendulum When he has been kept away from his burrow few days he re- turns to 1t with extravagant expressions of joy, kicking up his hind legs, jump ing about and throwing clods of dirt in all directions. Above all. however, he de~ lights in cleaning and polishing his play. things. Of these he has dozens. hidden in a corner of his dark house, sticks of wood which he has carefully polished after stripping them of their bark; pieces of broken pottery discovered in burrowings three or four large nails and other bits of metal, which he keeps shining cleant and, most cherished of all, a squat large~ mouthed bottle.'
 Washes the Bottles.
 I saw the bottle. It was as clean as ~ 1t had been washed out by a druggist.
 But he does wash it." insisted the ans imal psychologist. And have seen him hold 1t up to the light to observe little clouding of dirt on its inside. Then f it& water be quite clean. it would deliberate@ Iy wash the inside of that bottle A times he will sit for hours hugging tn@ bottle to his breast. If one tries to take 1t from him. he throws himself on hia back like a bad child. and holds the bot- tie tight with his four feet-or hands
 Tn so short a space it is naturally im- possible to give anything like complete idea of the work of the Institute oe ZoolostcaI Psychology.

 The annals of the institute are full o9 such observations. and the most impcrS- ant recent publications to which 1t wiit refer you are as follows: The Psychic Life of Beasts" by Louis Buckner; "Psy- chological Examination of Animals" by Pierre Hachet-Souplet; Form and Life" by Frederic Houssay: The Mental Evo- tuition of Animals" by G. c.

Americans and Their Nationa
 Hymns.

Hymns.
 We read some time ago in The Wash ington Evening Star the following incl dent:
 On the evening of February 2. 1898 party in a certain city had gathered to celebrate Washington's birthday. It was an ethusiastic and patriotic company; every one wore the national colors with great pride and felt the inspiration of the occasion. Some one proposed that patriotic songs be sung and to this all agreed. It soon turned out that not a copy of one of the songs was in the house and not one of the company knew the words of any of them. A few could sing America" fairly well, but, when the Star Spangled Banner" was reached only La, To las" could be heard and soon even all humming ceased. The party was composed of native born Americans and a good many present were eligible to membership in the Sons of the Ameri- can Revolution" All were cultured, in- teligent and very patriotic and yet, not one could sing a national song. The writer of this incident went on to say: imagine a party of French who could not sing the "Marsellaise' or of Ger mans who were ignorant of the Watch on the Rhine" he said further. 'is this not a melancholy comment&ry-not on our ndtrlOtlSnl-IOT ID OHe udic puostiou the love of every American for his coun- try. but upon the teachings In our public schools" The writer suggested to superintendents of the public schools to set apart certain time for singing patriotic songs and also advised the ''Daughters of the American Revolution" to take steps to have these songs taught in the schools so that the next genera ton may know our national songs better than this one.
 This incident occurred in 1SsS-fve years ago-and it is a fact that now through the influence of the society D. A. R., and its patriotic work all the national songs are sung in the schools and are sung with spirit and feeling.
 In this connection it is we'll for us to again speak of the fourth report of the United States D. A. R. to the Smith sonan Institution. called ''The Smithso- nian Report" and urge each Regent eto order 1t for her Chapter and see that 1t is circulated among the members. The work or progress of the society is set forth in an interesting and concise way and from this publication we can learn of the grand achievements of our society in our own country as we'll as in foreign lands
