Weight of "A Growing child.


The weight of a growing child is the
most important index to its general
health. The standard Of weight for
growing children, that usually given
by authorities in the matter, is that at
FIVE years of age a child should weigh
about as many pounds as 1t is inches
high. AS rule. this will not be much
over or under forty pounds. Children
who come of large parents should
weigh something more than that. The
rate OF increase should be about two
pounds for every inch of growth, with
a tendency for the weight to exceed
this standard propoftionately rather
than to fall below it. When a child is
rather heavier in proportion to its
height than this standard 1t is a sign
of good health. II the child Is growing
rapidly it should not be allowed to fall
much below 1t without being made to
rest more than has been the custom be-
fore. A deficiency of weight in proper
ton to height is always an unfavorable
sign. Any interruption in the progress
OF increase Of weight, especially dur
ing the continuance of growth, must
be a danger signal that should not be
neglected by those interested in the pa.
tieDt.

by night attack. and he succeeded in
doing so. But as lie could not take the
vessel out of harbor, for the reason
that she WIS under the close range
of the enemy's guns, HynSon set fire
to the vessel. In doing 50 he burn d

super.tition of the unlucky Thir,ec

When King Arthur founded the "a
nous round table he requested Merlin,
the enchanter. to arrange the seats,
Merlin arranged one set of seats to rep-
resent the apostles. Twelve We're for
the faithful adherents of Jesus Christ
and the thirteenth for the traitor judas,
The first were never occupied save by
knights distinguished for their achieve-
ments, and when death occurred
among them the seat remained vacant
until knight surprising him in heroic
and warlike attainments should be con
sidered worthy to fill the place. If an
unworthy knight sought the chair he
was repelled by some magic power.
The thirteenth seat was never occu-
pied but once. The story goes that a
naughty and insolent Saracen knight
sat down upon 1t and was Immediately
swallowed up by the earth. Ever after
1t was known as the "perilous seat"
and, brave as the celebrated knights OF
the round table are said to have been,
not one ever had the courage to sit on
the thirteenth chair, and the supersti-
ton against 1t still survives.

Where It Always Rains,

There is ii group Of islands to the
south of New Zealand called the Sis
ters, or Seven Sisters, which are re-
puted to be subjected to practically
constant rainfall The same may be
said OF the islands and mainland Of Ii
ezra del Fuego, save for the differ
ence that 4he rain often takes the form
of sleet and snow. On line running
round the world from degrees to or
8 degrees there are patches over which
rain seldom ceases to fall. This is
called the zone Of constant precipita-
tion," but at the same time there are
several localities along with it with
very little rainfall.

First Test of the Air Pump

The first public test Of the air pump
was in 1864 by its inventor, Otto Won
Guericke, in the presence of Emperor
Ferdinand Of Germany. Guericke ap-
piled the carefully ground edges of
metallic hemispheres, two feet in d.
ameter to each other. After exhaust
ing the air by his apparatus he at
tached fifteen horses to each hem
isphere. In vain did they attempt to
separate them because of the enor-
nous pressure Of the atmosphere The
experiment was a great success.

Gypsies and Death,

The custom Of placing the property
Of the dead in their graves has always
been followed by the true Romany
gypsies. 1t Is due to some old tradition
of Ill luck attending the possession of
an article whose former owner is gone,
and much valuable property Is buried
in this belief. There is also a senti-
ment among gypsies against the pos
session Of anything that has belonged
to dead person, because it serves to
remind the living Of the departed and
inspire in them dread Of death. The
custom of burying their property with
gypsy dead dates from the earliest his
tory of the Romany tribes.

HIS O. X.

HIS OK.
Sunday base ball following partic-
ipation in Sunday religious exercises
is a valuable and an easily available
means of promoting morality among
young men and bows of limited oppor-
tunlty.'
In these words Prof. Charles r.
Henderson in lecture at the Uni
versity OF Chicago gave not merely an
excuse, but positive Justification
for the games in the amateur
league" or the free lance games"
which may be found every Sunday
afternoon on nearly every vacant lot in
Chicago.
And not only did Or. Henderson
commend base ball on Sunday: he also
said that witnessing the games was
good thing.
In the audience which has been
listening to DR.. HendeIson's s lectures
were number Of divinity students.
They heard with wonder the fore.
going statements from the speaker,
himself formerly Baptist minister
at Detroit and Terre Haute. But SO
accurate was the professors knowl-
edge Of conditions among working
boys and men and so strong his argu-
ments that they acknowledged before
the lecture was over that they saw
Sunday base hall in new light.
Or Henderson's course OF lectures
has been upon "The Social Treatment
OF Crime.'
II know" said Prof. Henderson,
after making the statement quoted,
"that in taking this position l shall
be considered unorthodox and that as
you report what have said to other
Protestant ministers they will criti-
else the stand that l take. But af-
ter going over the entire situation
the conclusion that l have reached IS
inevitable.
"We have here in Chicago, or any
where else for that matter, a great
group of boys passing through the
years OF adolescence. They are enter
ing new world, world full of new
energy. They do not know what to
do with themselves. They must.
therefore, be kept busy. They must
be given constant and active outdoor
occupation every day, including Sun.
day.
"We Protestants are doing moth
ing adequate for tile boys Of our
slums. We are hardly touching the
edge of that great part of our popu-
lation, On Sunday those boys, like
all other bows apd:: young men, will do
something, they will 90 somewhere
to the saloons If nothing better en-
cages their attention. How inti1-
itely better il is to have them either
participate in or witness base ball
games.
1.-The Roman Catholic clergy all
over this country, as we'll as abroad,
are right in the position that they
maintain on this question. Catholic
priests, even more than Protestant
ministers, get their boys to church
Sunday mornings and then they en-
courage them to play base ball and en-
gage in other sports Sunday after
moons. They know the boys better
than do the Protestant pastors, for
the lads tell the priests at the confes-
Sional Of their temptations and sins.
''The thing to do for boys at this
age and young men little older is
to give them healthful recreation
Keep them busy and they will he

The earliest record of the saying.
with a grain of salt" dates back to
the year 63 Is. c., when the great Pom
pey entered the palace of Mithridates
and discovered among his private pa
pers the description OF an antidote
against poisons of all sorts, which was
composed Of pounded herbs. These, ac-
cording to the recipe. were TO be taken
with a grain of salt. Whether this was
meant seriously or as warning sar-
casm Is not known, but thenceforth II
became the custom to say that doubt
full preparations should be taken with
a grain OF salt.
From this the meaning got trans
ferred TO sayings Of doubtful truth.
Attic salt" was Greek synonym for
wit or penetration, and the Latin word
"sar' had somewhat Of the same mean
ing. 1t Is thus easy to see how the
saying, "Cum grano Sails" could have
come to mean the necessity Of accept
ing doubtful or suspicious statements
with a grain of salt"
